Hogwarts: Tom is not the Dark Lord
Chapter 7 Half a Penny
The older one led the younger one, and Tom followed five or six children who were much older than him. He lowered his head and stepped on the snow. The weather was really cold. There was ice on his eyelashes. If it were now It would be nice to have a way to warm myself up.
A warm current traveled up and down his body. Tom blinked his big eyes, unable to react. In disbelief, he stretched out his little hands that were shrunk in his sleeves. He moved a few times and found that it was really warm. He pressed the corners of his mouth and said, Try to stay calm.
‘Hmm~ I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat! ’
Tom opened his hand, glanced that no one was paying attention to him, hid in a corner and kept praying. After waiting for a long time, no food appeared. He shook his head in disappointment. It seems that his ability is not omnipotent, so he should go to work! Maybe the big devil will be kind and give him a bite of meat.
"Dear sir, please give your love to Wu's Orphanage~"
"Tsk." The middle-aged man wearing a bowler hat glanced impatiently at the little man in front of him. It was really annoying. He was in a hurry to go home and enjoy a delicious meal, so he took out a few pennies and threw them away. Go over, "Thank me for my kindness, you annoying brat."
Bending down to pick up the penny on the ground, Tom held it tightly in his hand. Why? He didn't understand why he was so angry and irritable. The gentleman gave him the pennies and just threw them at his feet. This made him so angry that he wanted to smash the coins out of his hand.
Kindhearted? Why doesn't he have any thoughts of gratitude?
Looking up at the tall figure gradually going away, Tom suddenly had a vague feeling. The gentleman stood so straight because he was not short of money. And people like them were, to put it bluntly, beggars. To survive, you have to bend down and ask for charity from others with a smile on your face.
"So I need to have money first so that I won't feel angry or irritated?"
"Hey, an orphan still wants to be rich? Just dream, you solitary guy." The boy standing aside and hearing Tom muttering in a low voice snorted disdainfully while holding the box. People like them, unless they are attracted by the goddess of fate, Blessed, someone would adopt them, otherwise they would remain in the orphanage.
The final solution is either to work hard for a lifetime, or to do the most dirty and despicable things. How can you make money on your own? It’s so funny that you still want to make money when you don’t know anything.
Without saying anything, Tom put the shilling in his hand into the small box. After the New Year, he could start learning to read. By then, he would definitely not waste time. The old dean had taught him many words, and he You only need to read it once or twice to remember it.
He would not be like an idiot like Neil, who could even spell simple words incorrectly and had to be locked up and punished by Mrs. Cole.
The sky gradually became dark. Tom shook the box and heard the jingling sound inside. He used his own ability to take out the halfpenny while no one was paying attention. (The halfpenny stopped circulating in 1985, and Tom was born in 1926.) Quietly It was hidden in the layers of his clothes. Fortunately, he wore a lot of clothes, so Mrs. Cole couldn't find it even if she searched him.
He likes reading books, and he likes both the words and pictures in them, especially when the old dean holds him and slowly explains the stories to him... It's a pity that he can never hear them again...
His mood became bad again. Tom patted his little face and kept telling himself that he could wait until night. Only in the dark night would he feel at ease, and the dean would look at him with a shining light in the sky.
