Take things as they come at Hogwarts

1991, August 29, 4:21 p.m.

On a street in London, England, several fiery snakes suddenly emerged from a house and swept into the sky.

In the thick smoke, the alarm of the roadside fire alarm sounded sharply.

When a group of people fled from here, they didn't notice that two men and women in black robes quietly mixed in with a child and left here.

Half an hour later, in a dimly lit room of a hotel.

It's strange about this hotel, it's at the end of the 20th century, but it's not electric lights, but candles.

"Severus, how is this kid?" asked a woman's voice, a little eagerly.

"It's no big deal, it's a spell and a potion. It's time for him to wake up. The other man's voice was very flat, and his tone did not fluctuate.

"That's fine. Poor child, so pathetic. This kid will probably have to live at Hogwarts for the next few years. I didn't expect there to be such a ...... among Muggles" The woman was obviously stimulated by something, and it could be heard that she was horrified and angry at the moment.

Although she had always been unprejudiced against Muggles, as her father was a Muggle, so was her first love.

She grew up in a happy family, and she didn't know that there was such a bad thing in the Muggle world.

Although she didn't want to admit her superiority as a wizard, her previous impression of Muggles probably stuck at the words "harmless" or even "cute".

After all, no matter how bad they are, they can't invent the "Drill Heart Curse", can they?

But today, from what happened to the little boy in front of her, Minerva McGonagall felt that she should take a good look at this once familiar but now strange group.

"If you're going to keep him staying at school during the summer, you'll need a lot of formalities, and you'll have to tell Dumbledore about it!" Severus said in a rare tone at the last sentence.

"I know, of course I do, Severus...... As soon as I see him wake up, I will leave. School is about to start, and this year, it doesn't seem like it's going to be an easy year. "

"......" seemed to run out of patience, and Snape fell silent, no longer speaking.

The room became quiet.

And at this moment, the fingers and eyelids of the child in front of him moved, and there were signs of sobering up.

......

When he opened his eyes, his vision changed from blurry to clear, and at first glance he saw two faces that filled his sockets.

A man with straight black hair, a pale face, indifferent and empty eyes, and the most obvious is the hooked nose, which generally gives people a cold and unpredictable feeling.

But he couldn't help but turn his attention to this man first, not because he knew or was familiar, but simply because that kind of lifeless look was very similar to himself in the mirror.

And this man also seemed to notice his eyes, and the emotions in his eyes fluctuated rarely. For the first time, it seems, men began to take a serious look at him.

But the man's scrutiny made him uncomfortable, and he turned his attention away, and then he saw the face of an emaciated woman with a wizard's pointed hat on her head and a pair of square-framed eyes on the bridge of her nose.

The years had left their mark on her face, but the beauty of her youth could still be seen, though it had been destroyed by the meticulous and strict impartiality of her body.

It's an aura that is like a natural enemy to a bad student.

But her concerned eyes at this time made him feel a little calmer.

But he still couldn't figure out who he was or why he was here.

It seems that his memory is a little confused for the time being. Minerva, you go first, it's not too early, the efficiency of the Ministry of Magic, you should be clear. As for the purchase of school supplies, I will take him to complete it. "

"Is that true? I mean, asking for something like this?" said Minerva, a little surprised.

But Snape ignored her. Obviously, even if he was a professor who had taught him before, now that he has become a colleague, there is nothing worthy of his politeness.

Some of his places may have died.

Minerva is clearly used to this.

She packed up a few things, then turned around, and the next second, her figure disappeared.

The anomaly still caught his attention, but before he could say anything, he was picked up by the indifferent man and poured a suspiciously colored potion into his mouth.

The smell was really indescribable, but soon, he felt his body warm, and the weakness and pain in his body slowly dissipated.

"Stand up and try!".

At the request of the indifferent man, he got out of bed and stood up a little shaky, but felt that something was wrong, the height of the sight.

"Take two steps!".

He staggered two steps, and the sense of disobedience was even stronger.

"Alright, keep up with me. It's getting late, we're going to buy the wand first, and then we're going to the pesky Gringotts. The indifferent man said, and turned away, but slowly.

Although he felt as if he had heard familiar words and his sleeping memories were about to awaken, he put them down for the time being and followed the man in front of him.

The door to the room opened, and the noise outside was heard more clearly.

The sound of wine and glasses clashing came to his face, and he followed the indifferent man all the way down the wooden staircase, and then the indifferent man said hello to a half-bald bar owner and walked to a mottled brick wall outside.

There's a trash can next to the wall.

The indifferent man named Severus took out a small wooden stick and let its tip stop on a brick.

"Remember this position, and later, you will come by yourself. Remember, knock three times. After Snape finished speaking, regardless of whether the boy behind him remembered it or not, he directly tapped it three times.

Then, as if some mechanism had been triggered, the bricks on that wall rolled away on the wall in a certain sequence, giving way to the other side of the brick wall, a spacious, bright, and bustling street.

He froze.

He remembered that it was a scene from a movie that he had seen as a kid and was called Harry Potter.

While suppressing the memory of sudden enlightenment, he followed the figure in front of him in a daze and mechanically.

It wasn't until a crisp wind chime sounded that he came to his senses and found himself in a crowded but clean, wand shop with lots of glass and long wooden boxes.

"Little wizard? It's too late to come. An old man's voice sounded very softly.

"Mr. Ollivanders, we have limited time, please hurry. Snape said directly.

"I know I know, thirteen and a half inches, birch, and the core of the rod are the nerves of a snake, right?".

Snape was silent.

"As I said at the beginning, the ancient sacred birch and the nerve of the shrewd and ambitious serpent are a contradictory combination, and everything depends on your choice. "

“......"

"I remember the little girl who came with you, ten and a quarter inches, and the willow ......."

"Garrick!".

"Okay, okay. The kids who used to buy wands from me, their kids are all enrolled in school this year. So, I can't help but feel a little emotional...... Come, let me see, pretty boy, who is your partner?"

The old man in front of him came to the boy. He beckoned, and a roll of tape measures with silver scales floated over and began to measure the boy.

First from the shoulders to the fingertips, then from the wrists to the elbows, from the shoulders to the floor, from the knees to the armpits, and then to measure the circumference of the head. Strangely, the tape measure even measures the distance between the nostrils, does that make any sense?

The boy was at the mercy of the old man, and he finished measuring his body.

The silver-white pupils of the old man on the other side were too rare, making the boy who was stared at a little uncomfortable.

"Mr. Locke, what is your handy?"

The boy didn't react, and the other party asked again, and the boy realized that the old man was calling him, and he raised his right hand.

[Does Locke mean me?Do I have memories of this body?Can I understand English without barriers, and can I speak it?] The boy's head was a little confused.
