Chapter 1: Hogwarts Acceptance Letter
Since the end of World War II, the number of orphans has decreased with the development of technology and the progress of civilization.
But the orphanages that relied on this for their livelihood have lost more ways to obtain funding and can only rely on government subsidies to barely survive.
Wright had just finished delivering the milk when the sun began to rise, its light briefly piercing through the thick fog in London.
As the crowd moved slowly, Wright broke away from the crowd by turning continuously, and finally returned to the dilapidated 'Wu's Orphanage'.
Just as I reached the door, I heard a conversation: "Mr. Carl, Wright is a very good and outstanding child. Please don't be prejudiced against him."
"Mrs. Kurt, I want to adopt a child to carry on my business! An Asian child means nothing to me."
As the words fell, a man in a top hat hurried away, just in time to cross paths with Wright who was returning.
"Mrs. Kurt, I'm back." Wright's gentle call woke the old woman who was in annoyance.
"Ah! You're glad you're back. You must be tired! Let's have dinner first!" The old woman looked at Wright kindly.
"Okay," Wright agreed.
"Wright, I'm sorry. The person who originally agreed to adopt you seemed to have heard some rumors and gave up the adoption plan."
Mrs. Cote sighed as she looked at Wright who was eating bread.
"It doesn't matter. I don't care about that. I already have a way out." Wright didn't care at all.
"But, in a while you will have to leave the orphanage and live on your own. It will be very hard for a child to live on his own." Mrs. Kurt looked at Wright with concern.
"It's okay, Mrs. Kurt. I've awakened, and I'll probably receive a letter from the school soon." Wright said calmly.
Mrs. Cotter watched Wright take a piece of bread upstairs, full of confusion. What awakening, what school.
Wright came to a shabby, dim and cramped room at the corner of the second floor.
When you push open the door, what comes into view are six old wooden beds and a large public table. Both the wooden beds and the table exude a sense of vicissitudes of time.
Wright sat down beside his bed, closed his eyes, immersed his spirit into his mind, and slowly condensed it into a human form.
A thin boy with delicate features, black hair, black eyes and yellow skin appeared in the depths of his mind. He looked exactly like the boy in reality.
Deep in my mind, a stone tablet stands tall, engraved with words that have never appeared before.
Wright stood in front of the stone tablet. He didn't know what was written on the stone tablet. But as long as he stood there, information would emerge.
Wright Ruggs (Zhou Yang)

The stone tablet can be used to obtain mileage points by completing achievements, and the mileage points are used to upgrade the magic and magic power that have been learned.
Wright pulled the spirit out of the depths of his mind.
He murmured, "If I didn't happen to know that Voldemort had stayed in the 'Wu's Orphanage', and if I didn't have the hint from the stone tablet, I wouldn't be sure that this is the world of 'Harry Potter'!"
"It's a good thing I know this. Otherwise, if I blindly add mileage points to my magic power and become Mo Mo Ran, I'll be really doomed."
The magic power in his body surged, and he watched the bread in his hand slowly float up, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
"I died suddenly from overtime work in my previous life and traveled through time. In this life, I can see the wonders of magic. This can be considered a blessing in disguise."
'But it's almost here now, it's already July 7th.'
"Cuckoo"
The call from the window brought Wright back to his senses. When he heard the voice, he couldn't help but feel happy. He withdrew his magic power, took the bread and walked to the window.
A white owl stood on the window sill, holding an envelope in its mouth, and tilted its head to look at Wright through the glass.
Wright let out a long breath and carefully opened the window.
The owl flew in and placed the envelope on the table.
Wright calmed down his excitement, quickly picked up the envelope with his right hand, and handed the bread in his left hand to the owl, which started eating without hesitation!
I picked up the letter and took a look. The envelope was made of sheepskin, and the address on the front was written in green ink: "Mr. Wright Ruggles, London Wood Orphanage (to)"
Turning over the envelope, there was a red wax seal at the opening, with an emblem pressed on it: a shield with the letter 'H' surrounded by a lion, a snake, a badger, and an eagle.
Here it comes, finally here. I suppressed my excitement again and carefully opened the envelope. Page 1:

Wright carefully read the two pages of parchment, his heart surging.
After looking at the owl that was still chewing bread, he took out a pen and paper and started to reply.
In the tone of an eleven-year-old child, he expressed his desire to study at Hogwarts and to experience magic.
Just as I finished writing the reply and put it into the envelope, the owl finished eating the bread and began to coo.
Wright laughed when he saw this, and he stroked the owl's fluffy head and said with a smile, "Come on, Mr. Owl."
As I watched the owl fly away with the envelope in its mouth, a message came from the stone tablet in my mind.
