[HP]Love and Hogwarts

Kahn likes churches in London very much. She doesn’t know what churches are like in other places, but the church here provides a free meal every day. The meal includes eggs, milk, meat and vegetables, although it is not very good. Eat, but in large portions, and are her main source of food.

Secondly, when it rained, she could hide in the church. Here she met an old man who came to pray every day. She told him that her parents were both disabled and could not go out to make money, and she had never read a book. . This old gentleman was a retired teacher. Out of pity for her, he offered to teach her literacy skills. There is nothing wrong with learning something, so Kahn would go to church to listen to his teachings when he had free time.

She was probably extremely talented in this area. When the old man taught her, he always marveled at her talent. In just two months, her knowledge level caught up with those who had studied for six or seven years. Kahn said She had little interest in learning and always had an attitude of whether she could learn or not. However, the old man's increasingly harsh attitude made her feel a little bored.

This combination of one large and one small attracted the attention of the church staff. Dick had been observing Kahn for a long time. After he followed Kahn once, he finally determined that she was an orphan sleeping on the street without anyone caring about her. Or a child who ran away from home. He was kind-hearted and could not bear to see such a young child suffering on the street, so he reported the incident to the police and asked them to find her parents or arrange for her to enter a regular welfare home.

Kahn didn't know all this, but when she woke up and wanted to go to the church to get lunch as usual, she found a police car parked next to the church. She approached quietly and heard Dick say: "It should be there soon. She does it every day." At this time, Mr. Police, you must help her, she is a kind child, and she doesn’t know why she is living on the street.”

This shocked her. If she was caught by the police, she would definitely be sent back to the Franks' house. She didn't want to go back, so Kahn quietly left them and returned to their temporary residence, packing her luggage. Quietly left the city.

She had never left London, and she didn't know how to live outside a big city. She had been wandering for several days, but this time it was much worse. Her face, which was originally like a doll and had some baby fat, was so starved that her whole face was thin. She felt like glass was fragile, as if a gust of wind was about to blow her apart.

On a hot afternoon, she suddenly felt her eyes turning black and fainted against a wall. Fortunately, she was rescued. When she opened her eyes, a slumped-faced woman in her fifties, about 1m6, was sitting next to her bed. Seeing that Kahn was awake, she smiled at her one time. She was too thin, which made her eyes look horribly big, and they popped out like flounder when she smiled.

She smiled at Kahn and said, "Welcome to the happy home, sweetheart."

Fuck you, damn "Happy House!"

They took away all her property, and she became impoverished again. She was forced to work for free in an orphanage in the last century. Why could she never escape from the orphanage? Why wasn't the umbilical cord that she was born with simply cut off? Strangling her.

"Damn it! Kahn, you are lazy again, come here and work, or you won't have dinner!" Now Flounder started to yell again.

"..." Kahn sighed invisibly, feeling helpless for the first time in his life.

"I know, Mrs. Harriet." She turned back and replied calmly.

It is not wrong to say that this orphanage called Happy House is a building of the last century. It was built at the end of the century in 1899, which is almost 100 years old. You can probably imagine the living environment here. The only good thing is that it is too depressed. In addition, Kahn only has 9 children here, as well as Mrs. Halibut Harriet and a black chef, so Kahn can Allotted a separate room.

There are not many guests here, and not one person who wants to adopt a child will come here for half a year. Only when the nearby school has extracurricular assignments of volunteering at the orphanage, this old and dying building has some vitality.

The funds to maintain the orphanage depend on some subsidies from the government and Mrs. Harriet's salary from being a tutor every day and teaching children piano. The money Kahn came here allowed the children here to eat meat and fruits for a long time, and they all liked her very much.

In fact, there is nothing bad about life here. Although Harriet took away her money, she also gave her children the best she could. This is also the reason why Kahn stayed here for 8 years.

After Kahn and another brown-haired boy finished washing their clothes, the sun began to slowly prepare to set. She said goodbye to the boy and prepared to go back to her room.

"Kahn, aren't you having dinner?" he asked doubtfully.

Kahn nodded and said, "I want to rest first. Tell Mrs. Harriet for me."

"You can't always skip dinner. Although I will help you this time, I won't help you ask for leave next time." He turned and walked towards the cafeteria.

There is only a cabinet without a door in Kahn's room, and her only two pieces of clothing are hung in it. A 1m wide wooden bed is covered with a thin layer of pressed quilts and washed whitened gray clothes. Fortunately, it's autumn now, and the thin quilt is not too cold yet. Kahn's tolerance for the cold is not as strong as the heat.

Kahn was lying on the bed, reaching out to take out the clothes hanging in the closet a few feet away, but he couldn't find the morning feeling.

"Strange, how did I make the pebbles float before?" She murmured to herself. But she was not a very curious person, and if she couldn't do it, she couldn't do it. She pulled up the quilt and covered her body, and fell asleep within two minutes.

Life in the orphanage is very boring. Her only interest after finishing her work every day is to see what the ants under the trees in the orphanage have picked up. Life passed peacefully like this for three years, and it was soon Kahn's 3th birthday. In the past few years, two families had come to want to adopt Kahn, but they were rejected by her. For this reason, Harriet, a mean girl, wanted to adopt Kahn. The old lady scolded her for a long time.

Kahn's birthday is June 6 every year, this is what Hannah told her. She is also one of the few people in Happy House who knows her true birthday. Mrs. Harriet gave her a harmonica for her 19th birthday last year. Unfortunately, she learned everything quickly, but had no talent for music. Harriet commented that the sound she produced was "cold, like the God of Death working overtime." "

On her birthday, Kahn and other children made a cake together. They happily sang happy birthday to her. Kahn silently made a wish for new shoes.

Mrs. Harriet obviously couldn't hear her inner wish. She gave her a black high-necked dress this year. The pattern was well cut. The skirt was stacked in layers like petals but not bloated. The fabric felt soft to the touch. It was comfortable. Mrs. Hallett bought the cloth and made it herself.

"Thank you, Mrs. Harriet, it's very beautiful, but under what circumstances can I wear it?" Kahn said, looking at the dress that covered people tightly like a nun's uniform.

She still held her face as usual and said with an unhappy look: "You can wear it now."

"Okay, I think I'll wait until next summer when it snows." Kahn said obediently.

"Hmph." She snorted from her nose.

The birthday episode passed quickly, and the weather began to get warmer. After Mrs. Harriet "inadvertently" mentioned the dress for the fourth time, Kahn finally followed the arrogant old lady's wishes and put it on.

It must be said that wearing this dress in this temperature does require some courage. Fortunately, Kahn's body temperature is lower than that of ordinary people. Seeing Kahn put on the dress she gave him, Mrs. Harriet finally smiled. "You have finally learned to behave like a lady." She nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, I have become a lady who spreads her legs and holds the hem of her skirt in her arms to wash clothes." Kahn said without raising his head.

"Oh, you're complaining again. I know you don't like this job, but someone has to do it. You see, Andy does a good job and never complains." Andy raised his eyebrows at them after hearing this. A pug-like smile.

"Come on, he is so happy no matter what he is asked to do. When he and Boston wiped the floor together, he seemed to be doing something worthy of happiness." Kahn quickly finished washing the last piece of clothing in the basin. , while putting the wrung-out clothes into the small basin, he said, "Madam, it's time for you to go out now. If you don't, you'll be late."

"You are so unlovable," said Mrs. Harriet.

"Thank you. It's the first time I've heard such a comment. It's really refreshing." She's not boasting, but what she likes most about herself is that she has self-awareness, no matter whether it's good or bad. She stood out in this remote place like a dog standing up and walking on a leash.

After Mrs. Hallett went out to work, Kahn also hung up the clothes, said hello to Andy and went back to the room. The best way for her to spend time is to lie in bed meditating or reading a book. The youngest child here is 6 Years old, the oldest is 16 years old, and even Andy is 13 years old. She really has nothing to talk about with them, so she usually sneaks back to the room by herself whenever she has free time.

Another reason is that when she is alone, she can practice her "superpowers". Ever since she could consciously control objects to float, she had been practicing secretly. She didn't tell anyone this secret. After all, uniqueness makes it more desirable.

"Bang bang." Suddenly there was a gentle knock on the window.

Kahn got out of bed and opened the curtains, just in time to meet the eyes of the little guy outside the window.

owl?

One person and one bird looked at each other for a few seconds. Kahn suddenly tilted his head, and indifferently closed the curtains in the eyes of the bird, blocking its sight.

"What a surprise. I thought you would open the window. Didn't you see the letter on it?"

The sudden unfamiliar voice from the locked room was probably enough to startle a timid person. Kahn closed his eyes and slowly turned around, looking at the old man with a snow-white beard warily.

"Don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions towards you. I just came to inform you of something. Look, the poor owl can't deliver the letter and can't open its mouth to speak." He said kindly, his eyes were deep and thoughtful. , as if nothing could escape his eyes, causing Kahn to blink unconsciously.

Kahn hesitated for a while, then asked with a bit of anticipation: "Who are you? Santa Claus?"
