dumb wizard

The final exam is approaching, and the atmosphere in Hogwarts has become very tense. You can see little wizards holding textbooks, waving wands, and studying hard together, especially Gryffindor.They spend most of their free time on adventures and night tours, only to grind their guns in the weeks before the exam.

Xiu's life frequency was not disturbed by the final exam at all, and he still went to the cellar every Monday, Wednesday and Friday to receive extra tutoring from Snape.Of course Snape had suggested that he should focus on the exam, but Hugh said he didn't need to.Of course Snape saw Xiu's usual diligence and persistence, so he only mentioned it, and didn't make a strong statement that Xiu was not allowed to come to the cellar again.

The exam lasted for three days, and when the results came out, Xiu once again impressed the little wizards and professors at Hogwarts.Eighth grade, for a Muggle-born first-year wizard who can only learn difficult silent magic from the beginning, this can no longer be praised with simple cleverness.

To Xiu's surprise, Snape gave him an O, which is as rare as sparks hitting the earth.After all, he thought that Snape would give him an E or an A at most for the reason of "to make you not so proud".

This year's House Cup is still owned by Slytherin. With a wave of Dumbledore's wand, the decoration of the auditorium turned silver-green. With an excited smile on his face.

Xiu looked at Snape in the professor's seat, and the smirk on his lips also brought a bit of genuine pleasure.Seeing Snape like this, Xiu couldn't help curling the corners of his lips.

Boarding the Hogwarts Express, the Weasley twins and Lee Jordan came to join Xiu in another compartment, and enjoyed the small snacks Xiu made without treating themselves as outsiders, and were full of praise while eating.

After chatting with them for a few words, Xiu buried his head in "Anthology of Curses in the Eighteenth Century", turning a deaf ear to the playfulness of the three big boys.

A few hours later, the car pulled into the station, and the little wizards got out of the car in a crowded way, ran to the family members who came to pick them up, hugged and kissed, and then left together talking about interesting things.

The Weasley twins with Percy Weasley, Charlie Weasley (Charlie Weasley graduated this year, he took twelve O's) and Arthur Weasley and Molly who came to pick them up After the Weasleys hug each other, the twins introduce Hugh to their parents.

Apparently, Molly Weasley had learned about Xiu's situation from the twins long before, and she was very maternal and gave Xiu a big hug. Xiu struggled unaccustomedly, and reluctantly gave them a smile.

The Weasley family invited Xiu to visit the Burrow during the summer vacation. Xiu said that he would come to visit when he had time, but he couldn't guarantee that he would go. The twins looked very disappointed.

Xiu took a taxi back to Thames River Avenue, and the white double-storey building was very eye-catching.He spent half a day tidying up the house and going out to buy many ingredients and necessities.

The sun at the end of June was very hot, and Xiu, who couldn't use magic to throw a cooling spell on himself, was so tired that he was sweating profusely. The sweat wet his hair and stuck it to the sides of his cheeks, making him very uncomfortable.

After finally taking care of everything, Xiu couldn't wait to go upstairs to take a shower, then turned on the fan, and fell asleep with exhaustion amidst the whirring of the fan blades.

After two days of rest, I started my summer money-making plan.Although he has accumulated a lot of wealth working in restaurants since he was nine years old, it is not an option to sit and eat. He needs to ensure his own life, and Xiu is very particular about the quality of life when the situation permits.

His only forte is cooking, and after much deliberation, he can only work in a restaurant, so of course he should go to a place he is familiar with.

Xiu went to the Chinese restaurant where he worked before, and that restaurant has become very big, with several branches opened. Although the taste is not as good as Xiu, most of the chefs have been guided by Xiu, and they can also be independent.

The Chinese man with a shy belly and an amiable smile listened to Xiu's explanation of his visit. He laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, and kept saying welcome.

Although it is only a summer job, the boss still promises a high salary for repairing this cash cow, and the working hours are free, as long as twelve dishes are provided every day.

Thanks to the generosity of the boss, Xiu didn't neglect his studies during the summer vacation because of his plans to make money. Although he couldn't use magic, Xiu read a lot of books and learned more about silent magic and advanced magic.

One day in mid-July, Xiu went to the main store of the restaurant to complete twelve dishes a day. When he left the door, he was attracted by a family who had just entered the store.

It looks like a family of four, but the combination is weird.My father was short and fat, his neck was hidden by layers of fat, his purple face, and the two mustaches on his lips looked funny.The mother was tall and thin, with a long neck, which reminded Xiu of a giraffe.One of the two children who were with them was overweight, like his father, who looked pampered, while the other was thin and small, making one wonder if he had never had enough to eat.

Ok--?

Xiu suddenly narrowed his eyes, secretly looking at the skinny child, with disheveled hair like a bird's nest, wearing ugly black-rimmed glasses, the eyes behind the lenses were beautiful emeralds, like the best Fei Cui, with a sharp chin, looked a little delicate, wearing a bulky and ill-fitting dress, with sleeves and trouser legs rolled up, and timidly followed behind the other three.

Xiu came back and forth to look at the family of four several times, and a bold guess flashed in his head.Before he could think about it, he heard the fat man turn his head and growl at the skinny child, "Harry, be sensible, get out, don't lose face with us, and wait at the door! If you dare to show yourself in front of others, , you damn... don't eat today's dinner!"

really!Xiu's hearing is very good and he can hear clearly.

The Dursley family of three and the poor abused child, Mr. Harry Potter, the savior of the wizarding world.

Xiu looked at Harry and nodded timidly, then turned and walked out of the store, he thought for a while, and followed.After stepping out of the store, Xiu saw Harry squatting a few steps away from the door to the left, with his small hands pressed on his stomach, and knew in his heart that he was probably hungry.

In good conscience, Hugh is not a man full of sympathy, but seeing Harry Potter like this, even if he knows that this now poor boy will soon become the great and adored savior of the wizarding world, and a He didn't like the reckless Gryffindor lion, and he couldn't sit idly by.

Xiu spurned his little conscience in his heart, walked over, and squatted in front of Harry.

The thin boy looked at him with green eyes, as if frightened.

Today is Dudley's birthday, Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia are going to take Dudley out to play.They didn't want to take Harry out, but they were afraid that leaving the little monster at home would ruin their home, so they reluctantly took him.

They went to amusement parks and zoos, and Harry discovered that he could talk to snakes, and he let a boa constrictor go because he said he liked freedom.This scene was discovered by Dudley and told Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia. They were so angry that they looked very ugly all the way from the zoo to the restaurant.Harry knew that he would be severely punished when he returned home.

Then they came to a restaurant with a very special but beautiful decoration. Uncle Vernon didn't allow him to come in and eat with them at the table, for fear that he would lose their face.

Harry squatted obediently at the door and waited, a very fragrant smell wafted from the shop. He only ate one ice cream all day (the ice cream was bought by Dudley when he was in the amusement park, and Aunt Petunia was afraid that people would say that he Eccentrically, Ill also bought one for Harry, it is the most delicious thing he has ever eaten!) His stomach growled, his stomach twitched, and it was very uncomfortable.

Then it was dark before his eyes, and someone walked up to him and squatted down.Harry was a little startled, and raised his lowered head.

He froze.

How can there be such a good-looking person?Harry couldn't help thinking of the angels mentioned by the priest in the church, beautiful and holy.

The angel smiled at him, and Harry blushed uncontrollably.He was a little flustered, and subconsciously reached out and scratched the messy bird's nest head.

Regarding Harry's blushing, Xiu naturally attributed it to the hot weather. After thinking for a while, he took out a pen and paper and wrote, "The sun is so bright, come into the store with me to hide."

Harry hadn't had time to figure out why the angel didn't speak to him directly but had to use writing. He shook his head when he saw this sentence, "No, no, Uncle Vernon wants me to wait here."

Xiu tried his best to maintain a consistent smile, the hot weather made him feel a little impetuous, "I will explain to them for you, don't be afraid." Harry still hesitated, but when he saw Xiu's gentle smile, he became dull again, silly He stood up and followed him into the store through the back door.

The boss who just came from the front hall saw Xiu coming in from behind, and greeted him with a smile, "Xiu, it's rare that you came back to the shop after finishing twelve dishes." He noticed Harry behind Xiu, and asked, "What is this?" Who is the kid? Gosh, he looks bad."

Hugh shook his head at him, then patted Harry on the thin shoulder, beckoning him to follow him.

Hugh took him into the kitchen, sat him on a chair, and wrote, "Hello, I'm Hugh White, the chef here. What's your name?"

Chef?

Harry was a little taken aback.This beautiful angel who looks only a little bigger than him is the chef of this restaurant?

Xiu looked at him with a gentle expression.Harry came back to his senses, blushed a little, and replied nonchalantly, "Hi, hello, my name is Harry Potter."

There was a little pity in Xiu's eyes. How happy this child should be. He has parents who love him and lives like a real little prince, but now he has become so cautious because of years of abuse and insults. They dare not speak loudly.

When Xiuben read the original book, he didn't like the protagonist Harry Potter very much.Harry Potter, who entered Gryffindor, was reckless, impulsive, overly curious, and had no opinion of his own. He rushed forward when things happened, causing troubles and blaming others.

But the Harry in front of him was just a child who struggled to grow up amidst beatings and scolding, a little cowardly, but still kind and cute.

Xiu couldn't help but reached out and touched his hair, Harry was a little stiff, no one had ever done such an intimate gesture to him in his life so far.

Xiu withdrew his hand, bowed his head and wrote: "You can call me Xiu, if you want."

Harry nodded again and again, and the angel allowed himself to call him by his Christian name, and Harry blushed again with excitement.His skin was fair, and his blushing was obvious.

Xiu found it very interesting, smiled, and wrote again: "If I have the honor, can I call you Harry?" Harry nodded desperately this time, but Xiu wrote again: "Harry, if you See, I can't talk, would you like to be my friend?"

Harry's eyes widened in surprise at first, and then emerald eyes showed sadness, "Of course I would, Hu... Xiu, I'm very, very happy," Harry wiped the corners of his eyes with his hand, "I, I I never had any friends, and people around me thought I was a monster and refused to play with me."

Xiu frowned, and wrote under Harry's terrified gaze: You are not a monster. "

The declarative sentence was flat and flat, but looking at his slightly wrinkled brows and the corners of his lips pursed, Harry felt a firm taste, and Harry nodded involuntarily.

Xiu regained his smile and wrote, "Are you hungry?" Harry said "um" awkwardly, and his stomach let out a cooperating whine, and his face immediately flushed red.

Xiu wrote "wait" in his notebook, then walked to the stove, rolled up his sleeves and got busy.The other chefs in the kitchen automatically gave him a larger space. In the hearts of these chefs, Xiu was no ordinary child, but a top chef worthy of their respect.

After half an hour, Xiu prepared three dishes and one soup, filled some ready-made rice directly from the rice cooker, brought it to Harry, and made an easy-to-understand "eat" gesture.

Harry hesitated for a moment, after all, he couldn't resist the protest of his stomach and the temptation of delicious food. He was about to eat but found sadly that he didn't know how to use cutlery at all.

The two black-looking sticks were slippery, and they were caught with great difficulty, before they fell back into the mouth. After a long time of fiddling, they didn't even eat a bite of food.

Xiu secretly regretted his lack of thoughtfulness, and changed his fork and spoon (the restaurant considered that most foreigners would not know how to use chopsticks, so most of them used western tableware, and the chopsticks were basically only used as decorations), and Harry wolfed it down. , Solved everything in less than 10 minutes, the speed made Xiu a little dumbfounded.

By the time Harry put down the empty bowl, Hugh had recovered from his amazement, preventing Harry from blushing at the speed with which he ate.

Concerned about the Dursleys, Hugh accompanied Harry back to the entrance of the restaurant. Fortunately, the Dursleys were still eating the last dessert, so they didn't notice that Harry was gone.

Harry was reluctant to leave when they parted, and asked when he would see Xiu again, Xiu smiled mysteriously and wrote, "Soon."
