Chapter 20 London
"So it's actually a wizard who invented the camera?"

Leaning on the window edge of the Hogwarts Express box, Tom crossed his legs and played with the camera that Nelson bought. The Blakes got off the train at the last stop, and only Nelson and Tom were left in the box.

"Yes, look at the name under the camera, it may be a camera he made by himself."

"As expected of you, historian. Take a picture?" Tom held a red Bibido flavored bean in one hand and waved the camera in his hand, "Um... yes, tomato flavor."

"I told you to take a picture yesterday, but you didn't take it." Nelson slumped on the seat opposite, rolling his eyes speechlessly. In order to lure the pet into the cage, he fought with his dead ghost Yingbong last night - the one The cat named "Question Mark" was purring comfortably on the top of his head at the moment, but he was not sleepy, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, like a pool of liquid.

"Isn't there too many people yesterday? It's too embarrassing to be in front of so many people." Tom quibble with a scumbag face, stood up, walked over to Nelson and sat down, pulling his arm, "Come on, cheese !"

"This kind of camera that doesn't need to be developed is really convenient!" As a puff of blue smoke slowly rose and drifted from the camera, Tom squeezed the photo that the camera spat out in his hand, "Yes, it's very handsome." He praised happily. .

"Show me," Nelson looked up at the photo. In the black and white photo, he was smiling brightly. The cat above his head sat grimace at the camera, and Tom put his arms around his shoulder, smiling equally brightly, "Okay, this camera There are also beauty functions.”

"What is beauty?" Tom took the photo back and tucked it carefully into the inside pocket of his shirt.

"..."

Seeing that Nelson didn't respond, Tom turned his head to look at him, the question mark slipped down because of Nelson's head, and one person and one cat began to fight fiercely again...

"I've always wondered if you're blowing exhaust when you ride your broom." After the fight, Tom stood by the window and breathed against the glass. The train was passing through the thick fog.

"It's just the weather in London, especially in the past two years, when the factory is emitting sewage every day."

"But I think it's cool to fly with a puff of smoke," Tom took out his wand, thought for a moment, and slowly levitated, a black puff of smoke billowing under the rattling wizard's robe, and he was in the air. Turning around, he lifted his chin proudly at Nelson, "How is it, not bad."

"There are still 10 minutes to arrive at King's Cross Station, please get ready." The train's announcement repeatedly played the arrival reminder.

Looking at Tom who could levitate and even fly without any props, Nelson said, "It's amazing, but I think it might be cooler to bring out a rainbow when flying, like a fairy."

……

"Is your uncle at home today?" Tom asked as he dragged his suitcase through the streets of London, and walked two blocks to Aunt Bella's house. "Tsk, that's disgusting."

Tom's polished leather shoes almost stepped on a pool of sewage. London is full of dirty and messy scenes these days. Residents on both sides of the street randomly dump domestic garbage and sewage on the street. Beggars and sewage can be seen everywhere on the street. Gangs and thieves, as well as strangers in a hurry, billowing black smoke from the chimneys of suburban factories, cast a grayscale on this city, which is already known as the foggy city.

When they got out of the car, the two changed into Muggle clothes in the box. Nelson was wearing a wide black and white striped cardigan, thick work jeans, and a pair of brown cowhide gentleman boots under his feet. A beige trench coat with four large pockets, and a grey wool scarf tied loosely around the neck and down to the waist.Tom was dressed very formally, a black suit covering himself tightly, the emerald and silver collar pins reflected a shimmer on the neckline, and he was holding the suitcase in one hand and the bird cage covered with black cloth in the other. , Nelson's cat stood tall above Tom's head, it didn't seem to want to pay attention to its owner.

In the few months of campus life, the two of them have grown a lot taller. Pedestrians on the street looked at these two well-dressed teenagers recklessly, and some homeless people even showed malicious smiles.

"That's the level of security in the British Empire?" Tom sneered disdainfully, and then gave them a defiant smile, "Chamberlain should bury himself in his own backyard. If he uses magic to fight back when he is attacked, it doesn't violate " The International Confederation of Wizards Secrecy Act, right?" Tom licked his lips excitedly, his handsome face was a little hideous, and a scarlet light flashed in his black eyes.

"See what's going on. If you blow up a street, it should still be against the law." Nelson stopped Tom's dangerous thoughts, and the two approached an inaccessible alley opposite where they grew up. Orphanage, "Uncle should be at home. Last week he wrote that he had set off from Poland to go home."

"Bang——" Walking through the alley, a skinny boy in a worn newsboy cap bumped into Nelson's arms, "I'm sorry, sir." The voice was a boy of about ten years old. He apologized and stepped back, pressing his hands on it. Wearing the brim of his hat, he quickly turned and ran away.

"Interesting." Nelson looked at his back, whistled, and put his hands in the pockets of his trench coat. Tom cocked the corners of his mouth, released the box, and flicked his arm lightly. The wand slipped out of his sleeve and was held by him. in hand.

"That's magic." He was eager to try it. "Surely going home on vacation is a good choice. There are wizards stealing things in the Muggle community."

"It's magic." Nelson narrowed his eyes, and from a distance he saw the child wearing a newsboy hat sneaking in through the back door of the orphanage. "It's amazing. Just after we left, this kind of character appeared in the orphanage."

"It must be Mrs. Cole who picked it up. I feel like she's dying of exhaustion, and she keeps picking people from the orphanage like a nun." Tom raised his head and looked in the direction of the orphanage. "What did he steal?"

"It's just a wallet, and I don't have a few pounds. Galleons are all in the box." Nelson shrugged, "Nuns in the church don't pick up children. At most, they pick up a few gentlemen who are willing to raise money."

"It makes me sick, but it's unrealistic to want everyone to be like Mrs Cole," Tom curled his lips in disgust, "She's a really nice person, let's help Mrs Cole educate this kid, she always It means that I would rather starve to death than steal."

"Let's go home first, I put a small thing in his pocket." Nelson took his hand out of his pocket and held the handle of the box, "I have to put the luggage down first, depending on his age, next year should be A freshman at Hogwarts."

"Well, anyway, I will go to the orphanage in a few days."

"Hahaha, I wonder if he has eaten the chocolate that Tom's brother left to everyone?" Nelson smiled narrowly.

Tom's face flushed, and he took the box and walked stiffly toward Aunt Bella's house.

"Wait, brother Tom, I want to eat chocolate too!" Nelson pulled the box and ran after Tom, Tom's pace quickened, and he seemed eager to summon a broom to fly away.

After a while, the two stood at the door of Aunt Bella's house. Nelson took a deep breath, stepped forward, and rang the doorbell.

……

"Uh, Nal, have you been abandoned too?" In the cold wind, Tom, who had been standing at the door for half an hour, wrapped his coat tightly, put his hand on the stomach of the kitten in his arms, and had an affair with Nelson. A sense of sympathy for one another.

"Probably yes, Tom." Nelson buttoned up his trench coat and tightened his scarf, looking like an anti-war sculpture.

"Two handsome gentlemen, what are you doing here?" Two big hands fell on Nelson and Tom's shoulders, and they turned their heads slowly.

"About...Uncle Jonas, Aunt Bella." Nelson stammered in the cold wind to say hello, Tom nodded stiffly, pretending not to be afraid of the cold, but the sudden cold war still made Jonah Si and Bella behind him laughed out loud.

"We went to buy you something delicious." Bella raised her hand and showed Nelson and Tom the ingredients in her hand, "Come in and make you a Christmas dinner."

Jonas took out the key to open the door, followed by Nelson and Tom, who immediately rushed to the sofa near the fireplace and hugged the pillow.

Jonas took out a bottle of fruit wine and four glasses from the kitchen and placed them on the coffee table, Bella teasing the kitten, "It looks so fun!" It seemed to be very close to Bella, He rubbed his chin against the back of her hand, purring comfortably.

"This is the fruit wine sent by relatives in my hometown. The degree is very low. You can also drink it." Jonas filled four glasses with pink fruit wine, and a fermented sweet and sour fragrance filled the air. in the living room.

"I'll go to the kitchen, let's talk first." Bella took out a bamboo basket from the fireplace, picked a square pillow from the sofa and placed it in the basket, holding the back of Yingshou's neck and placed it on the bamboo In the basket, it "meows" in a ball, and soon disappeared.She added some water to Tom's owl cage and opened the cage door. "Tom, this bird is good, can it eat corn?"

"I brought the feed, Aunt Bella," Tom replied tactfully.

"It's really good," Jonas sat on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, and took a sip from the wine glass. "The gifts I brought for you are in the basement, and you can go and have a look later."

"Thank you, Uncle." Tom was now as well-behaved as a "someone's kid", and he didn't even touch the glass.

"Uncle Jonas, how is Poland?" Nelson asked, playing with his glass.

"It's not so good, I feel like a war is about to take place, the people there are very fanatical, and there are homeless people everywhere." Jonas said with a worried face, "I can't control you when you go to school, but don't let it go. Run around."

"Jonas, come and help me cut the vegetables!" Bella's voice came from the kitchen.

"You guys go to the basement and look at the presents," Jonas stood up on the sofa and walked towards the kitchen, "you'll like it."
