In the early morning, the garden of Sherlock Holmes's house is bathed in the morning light, with verdant vegetation, small sculptures and cascading water fountains scattered in every corner.It was summer at this time, and all kinds of flowers, plants and trees in the garden were filled with the breath of life. Potted flowers were placed on the open space at the front door, and a row of various bright potted flowers hung on the wall, which was dazzling and eye-catching. People never get tired of watching it.

Sherlock got up early as usual, stretched in the breeze, and walked towards the door while flexing his shoulders.

"Good morning, Sherlock!" Circe smiled at him from among the flowers, her hand still on the branch of the elder tree in the middle of the garden,

"Hey, remember to call him brother next time," Sherlock said helplessly. In the past ten years, Circe refused to call him brother no matter what. Is it because he is not dignified enough?Sherlock thought to himself and decided to keep a straight face in the future.

Before going out for a run, Sherlock looked back, and sure enough, the elder tree, which was a little sluggish just now, had fully stretched out, with pale yellow flowers dotted among the green branches and leaves.There is no doubt that it was his omnipotent little sister who performed this miracle.

After graduating from elementary school, Sherlock did not continue to go to school, but hired a tutor.Because Ellen and Elina were busy, Mycroft also started working, and little Circe, she couldn't go to the human primary school.Sherlock simply stayed with her at home, and he could be said to be the person in the Holmes family who knew Circe the most.Even so, he was still amazed every time he saw such a fantastic phenomenon.

After the morning run, Sherlock came home, and as always, Patrick, the hardworking house elf, prepared a hearty breakfast.Allen and Elina also finished washing and sat at the dining table.As for Mycroft, he was still in MI[-] last night, busy with work and never came back.

Everything indicated that this was an ordinary morning, however, something unusual soon appeared.

A brown owl appeared at the window with a letter in a pale yellow envelope in its beak.

The elf Patrick was the first to discover this. He took the letter very excitedly. Sure enough, he found a wax seal, a shield coat of arms, a capital "H" surrounded by a lion, a Eagle, a badger and a snake.

The elf yelled and ran to the corridor of the portrait to announce the good news to its owner.

Sherlock picked up the envelope thrown away by the elf in excitement, and the writing on it was emerald green: Miss Circe Holmes, London.

He opened the letter and read it: Principal of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: Albus Dumbledore (President of the International Federation of Magic, President of the Wizarding Association, first-class magician of the Merlin Sir Order).

Dear Miss Holmes: We are pleased to inform you that you have been admitted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.Enclosed is a list of required books and equipment.Semester is scheduled to start on September 31.We will be waiting for your owl to bring your reply before July [-]st.

Sincerely, Deputy Principal (Female) Minerva-McGonagall

Sherlock closed the envelope and looked up at his parents, only to see Ellen and Alina with expressions of "this day has come and we can't accept it" written on their faces.

Only Circe still looked confused: "What is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?"

Allen and Elena quickly changed their expressions of being struck by lightning, and they said in unison: "Didn't Helena in the portrait tell you?"

(Helena said, isn’t this a matter of course? Of course, it’s more meaningful for her parents to say about going to school! She is really a good and understanding ancestor.)

After some unscientific popularization, Circe finally understood the existence of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.To put it simply, it is a training base for little wizards.No way, who told her that there was no such place in her era!At that time, wizards were left to fend for themselves.

Helena actually spends very little time in the Sherlock Holmes Gallery. The Ministry of Magic does not allow magical objects to stay in non-wizard households, so she will not show up unless necessary.But today is different. Circe received a notice from Hogwarts, which means that the wizarding world has acknowledged the existence of Circe.In this case, having a moving portrait at home is not really a big deal.So she shows up just in time to guide the newborn wizard family to Diagon Alley.

The Holmes family stood at the door of the Leaky Cauldron. Of course, Circe pointed out the specific location. Allen and Elina walked towards the wall in their eyes as if they were on the verge of an enemy. Sherlock followed calmly. , he has not yet recovered from the bad news that his sister is about to leave.The only one who looked normal was Circe. To be honest, she had experienced so many things in her previous life that she couldn't bring herself to think about anything other than the Holmes family.

After entering the wall, everything can be seen. This dark and dark place unexpectedly accommodated a lot of people, most of them were wizards in strange clothes, and there were a few normal humans mixed in.Estimates of their situation are similar to the Sherlock Holmes family.

They just looked around and were looking for someone to ask about the situation in Diagon Alley, when the bar owner yelled at them: "The freshmen of Hogwarts go to the back, just go around the bar."

Behind the bar is a small patio surrounded by walls, with trash cans in the corner and weeds growing on the ground.A tall man in a top hat was standing next to the dumpsters, saw them and demanded a Hogwarts notice.Sherlock saw sharply that there was a small badge pinned to his left chest, the pattern on it was the same as that on the notice.

The tall man handed it back to them after he checked the notice, and then he pulled out a long black stick from somewhere, (Sercie guessed it was the wand written on the notice.) and tapped it on the brick above the dumpster. Three taps.

The knocked brick shook and began to move, a small hole appeared in the middle, and the hole became bigger and bigger. After a while, a wide archway appeared in front of them, which was wide enough for everyone to pass through together. To a winding cobbled street with no end in sight.This is the legendary Diagon Alley.

When they walked out along the archway, the archway suddenly narrowed, and after a while, it turned back to the original solid wall.

"We need to find Gringotts first," Allen calmed down, thinking about what Helena had said.

Gringotts is the only bank in the wizarding world, run by goblins.It is a tall white building.Its first door was a gate of shining bronze, guarded by goblins in uniforms of scarlet and gold, bowing to clients as they came.The second door is silver, and the following words are engraved on the door: Come in, stranger, but be careful what will happen to you if you are greedy, you will be punished blindly, and you will receive the most severe punishment, so if you want to get from us The underground vault takes a fortune that never belonged to you, thief, you have been warned, be careful not to bring treasure, but evil.Pass through the second silver door and enter the spacious marble hall. About a hundred or so goblins sit behind the long counter and register hastily in the large ledger. Some use scales to weigh coins, and some use eyepieces to test gems.While registering hastily in the large ledger.There are countless doors in the hall, leading to different places, and many goblins guide people in and out of these doors.

Allen walked towards the counter. , "Hello," the goblins look similar to house elves, which somewhat relieved Mr. Allen's tension. "We want to exchange some gold."

"Please show me your wizard certificate."

"Is this okay?" Allen handed out the notice from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"Yes, please show it to exchange for human currency."

After the exchange was over, Allen applied for an underground vault for Circe, depositing a considerable amount of gold for her.

After leaving Gringotts, Sherlock opened the book list in the envelope and read it to his parents:

This long book list not only listed the required items, but also specifically indicated the materials of the items. This made Alan and Elina, who did not understand the wizarding world, breathe a sigh of relief. No matter what, they would never buy the wrong things. .

The "newborn" little wizard Circe was brought to Mrs. Malkin's robe store. She was short and fat, dressed in purple, and greeted them with a smile, "Do you want to buy a Hogwarts school uniform, my dear?" Before Circe could answer, she added, "We've got plenty of them here, and we've got a little girl in it right now!"

Outside the cloakroom stood a young woman whom Circe guessed was the mother of the girl who was trying on the dress.

At this moment, a witch in the store shouted to give way, and came over with a black robe, and the young mother followed the voice and looked this way, "Oh my God!" She suddenly ran over excitedly, "It's Sherlock Holmes!" Ma'am? Do you remember me, I'm Ann Granger, the nurse at St. Mary's Hospital who delivered your baby!"

When she said that, Alina immediately remembered that she was the nurse who was beaten unconscious by the kidnappers to protect her daughter.Seeing someone she knew here, Alina, who had always been calm, was almost as excited as Ann.

"Ah! Here you are, is that your daughter over there? This is Circe, the little girl you held."

The two mothers hit it off and chatted.The little girl in the fitting room also came out with her clothes on, "Hey! My name is Hermione Granger, nice to meet you."

Circe also greeted happily, she is still very happy to have a friend of the same age (same age?).

Since Hermione had almost bought her things, the two families separated after leaving the robe shop.Before leaving, Elina and Ann made an appointment to have afternoon tea together when they had time.

Circe and the others entered the Lihen Bookstore again, where all the books can be found, this is what Hermione said before leaving.Going all the way, I bought everything, and Circe also got a cute and clever owl.Except for the all-important wand.

There is only one shop in Diagon Alley that sells wands, and that is Ollivander's Wand Shop.The shop is small and shabby, and the gold lettering on the door has peeled off, and it reads: Ollivander: Fine Wands Since 380 BC.A wand stood alone on a faded purple upholstery in a dusty window.As they entered the shop there was a tinkling of bells from somewhere at the back of the shop.The store is so small that it can hardly accommodate the thousands of long and narrow cartons that are yards to the ceiling.

"Good afternoon," said a soft voice, and an old man stood before them, his large pale eyes like two shining moons in the dim shop.

He measured Circe, first from shoulder to fingertips, then from wrist to elbow, shoulder to floor, knee to armpit, and finally his head.As he measured it, he said: "Every Ollivander wand has a super magical substance, and this is its essence, Miss Holmes." God knows, how did he know Circe's surname, "We Unicorn hair, phoenix tail feathers and dragon nerves are used. Each Ollivander wand is unique as no two unicorns, dragons or phoenixes are exactly alike. Of course, if you use this A wand that should belong to another wizard would never work so well."

He muttered as if he suddenly wanted to hear something, then looked at Circe a little strangely, and muttered to find a wand for her, "Take it! Miss Holmes, this belongs to you , this wand desperately wants you to be its master! It's really strange, such a thing has never happened!"

When the last things were in hand, they went to buy tickets, and the pretty pink-haired conductor told them, "September [-]st—King's Cross."

Circe was holding a bunch of things, and she became curious about that Hogwarts!Start looking forward to the arrival of school day. . . .

The author has something to say:

Oh oh oh oh, it's time to enter the plot. . .

Sherlock: So angry, what Hogwarts! ! !Come back soon, Mycroft, my little sister is about to be snatched away. . .angry
