Chapter 1 Traveling through 2 years, 3 years after graduation
·
Liu Yue Zhi Yuan Fei
XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.
United Kingdom.
Suburbs in Surrey.
The office of the director of a welfare home.
Dean George said happily:
"Okay, good! I said Doug you shouldn't stay here all the time, you should have made such a decision long ago!
Although I am very reluctant, I am still happy for you..."
Opposite him sat a young man in his twenties, with chestnut-blond hair and a pair of dark green eyes that made people unforgettable.
Douglas Holmes showed a bit of helplessness on his face, corrected and said:
"Dean, I've said it many times. Call me Douglas by full name, and just Doug. Although it's very kind, but...it's easy to be heard as a dog."
Dean George nodded again and again:
"Okay, Doug..."
Douglas was speechless for a moment, but then a bit of embarrassment appeared on his face.
After all, when I first came here, I promised the dean to teach for at least one year.
It's only four months now, and bid farewell:
"Okay, you can call it whatever you like, but I still want to thank the dean for his understanding..."
Say goodbye to the students of the orphanage.
The street is already brightly lit.
Avoid the heavy traffic on the street.
Douglas turned into a gray residential alley.
As he walked, he drew his wand from his pocket.
Think about where you want to go.
"Shape-shifting."
With a sound like a flame bursting, he disappeared in place.
A dark corner of a small park in the northwest corner of Surrey.
Douglas' figure appeared out of thin air accompanied by the same puffing sound.
I tidied up my clothes a little.
He walked straight out and blended into the park crowd.
At the location of Apparatus, he has already arranged a small-scale sound shielding spell and Muggle expulsion spell.
So, don't worry about riding on a Muggle face all of a sudden.
Ever since he learned Apparition in sixth grade, he also learned to counter-curse.
And after graduation, he placed the counter-curse near his house.
Just to prevent someone from breaking into the house suddenly.
When he got home he cooked himself a sumptuous Chinese dinner.
No magic was used throughout, although he is not good at life magic.
Douglas, however, enjoys the process of cooking, as long as he only makes small portions.
After dinner, he took out two letters made of thick parchment.
Although it is an item in the wizarding world, it is eroded by the magic power of time.
The ornate coat of arms on one had faded to dullness.
It has been more than 20 years since I traveled to this world.
"Time flies so fast!" Douglas sighed, his past life and present life add up to more than 50 years old.
When he was 7 years old, in a car accident, he found himself awakened.
Sadly, the power he accidentally awakened only protected himself, and his parents died in that accident.
Because he was too young at the time, his parents had no close relatives.
Douglas knew very well that in Britain without a guardian, children would have difficulty walking an inch.
But his relatives, who were not too close, were unwilling to take him in, and finally he was sent to the George Orphanage in Surrey.
The house left to him by his parents was entrusted to the care of his mother's cousin's family in Cokeworth, Mr. and Mrs. Evans.
It so happened that one of her daughters married into Surrey, while the other went to a boarding school far away.
So every year there is a certain time to come to Surrey.
Just have a place to live, the best of both worlds.
It is a pity that when Douglas was nine years old, the Evans couple also died unexpectedly.
Originally, he thought about entrusting the house to the eldest daughter of the Evans couple in Surrey.
When his parents were still there, they took him to their wedding.
What's the name, Petunia is still Cousin Paley...
As a result, when he called, he just said who he was, and was scolded by the other party.
Tell me what kind of disaster star monster you are!
Ke killed her parents, so don't contact her again!
Only then did he know why his parents had an accident.
None of his relatives who are not too far away are willing to be his guardian.
Since then, Douglas has been at ease in the orphanage and carefully planned how to use the supernatural ability to be an excellent time traveler. When the time comes, he must let them know what 30-year Hedong and 30-year Hexi are. Don't bully young people with supernatural powers.
Until an owl landed in front of him from the sky, and then received an admission letter claiming to be Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to be excited or to be speechless. What was excited was that he came to the legendary world of Harry Potter, and what was speechless was that what he thought was the benefit of the time traveler——abilities, became a commodity for the masses.
I remembered how cautious I was when I just received the Hogwarts notice.
Douglas chuckled.
Then he picked up the second letter, the coat of arms on it was still glorious.
Although he tried it several times, he couldn't help but take it out again.
But I still hope that there will be an accident and that thing will be fully activated.
[Dear Mr. Douglas Holmes:
Regarding your application for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, our school has already approved it. Floo.com will connect the fireplace in your house to the Hogwarts vice-principal's office at 7:5 am on July 5th ([-] minutes), please come in time Come for an interview.
Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]
"There is still no response. It seems that the activation can only be possible if I have been officially admitted to Hogwarts!"
Douglas rubbed his head. Now he is worried that he may not be admitted.
Because he remembered that the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts in 1992 should be that fellow liar named Lockhart.
How about collecting evidence by yourself and exposing the other party's affairs in advance?
Douglas touched his chin, considering the feasibility of this matter.
In the end, he decided to go for an interview first.
As for whether it will change the direction of the original world...
Hehe, the professors at Hogwarts also want to know what the wizarding world would be like without Douglas Holmes.
7 month 5 day.
Ten o'clock sharp.
Douglas stood in the fireplace, dressed in a suit and carrying a briefcase in one hand.
Then he sprinkled the Floo powder in his other hand to his feet, and shouted at the same time.
"The office of Vice-Headmaster McGonagall, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
Immediately afterwards, before Douglas could stand still, a serious voice came from his ear.
"Mr. Holmes, please clean up the smoke and dust on your body!"
Douglas waved himself lightly with his free hand.
"Clean up!"
I saw Professor McGonagall sitting behind the desk, holding up the square glasses, and praised habitually:
"Oh, pretty good wandless casting, if you're still at Hogwarts, I'd definitely give Hufflepuff ten points."
While responding modestly, Douglas took out a prepared small gift from the modified briefcase and handed it over.
"It's an honor to hear your compliments again, Professor McGonagall. I hope I didn't miss the interview.
These are some new desserts I made myself..."
Seeing Professor McGonagall's suddenly wary eyes, Douglas choked for a moment.
Embarrassed smile, and then quickly explained:
"Ah! Don't worry, Professor, I assure you, there is absolutely no catnip in it, so you can eat it with confidence."
After Professor McGonagall heard about Douglas, his expression changed slightly, and then he quickly returned to his normal expression.
Facing this student who once showed a maturity and tossing that was extraordinary compared to her peers in school, her mood was somewhat complicated.
He glanced at the small gift wrapped squarely in parchment paper, covered with a square red paper with the name of the dim sum, and finally tied up with twine.
In fact, Douglas has always been very good in terms of etiquette, as long as he doesn't add catnip to those small gifts...
Professor McGonagall nodded silently in his heart, and then said lightly:
"Put it on the table first, I'll take you to see Principal Dumbledore first!"
Then lead him to stop in front of an extremely ugly huge stone monster.
“Iced lemonade!”
After hearing the password, Douglas Ann complained that after so many years, the password of the principal's office is still so plain...it's too easy to guess.
