The wonder of fate lies in the fact that one hair can move the whole body.

——Introduction

Rong Jiu's father is a magical Taoist priest.And not only her father, even her grandfather, her great-grandfather... are all Taoist priests.They also naturally wanted to train Rong Jiu to become a Taoist priest.

Therefore, other people's childhood may be popsicles for a few cents, black and white TV sets, and lively friends.And Rong Jiu's childhood was full of cinnabar, charms, yarrow, turtle shells, and all kinds of ghosts floating in the air.

And Rong Jiu's mother is a beautiful mixed race.It's just that Rong Jiu died when she was born, and Rong Jiu can only experience the once magnificent beauty from a few photos.

Rong Jiu's grandmother is a lady from England, whose name is very difficult to pronounce.It's just that she chose to stay in China in that turbulent era and married Rong Jiu's grandfather, obviously she is also a very remarkable and strong lady.The old lady is almost sixty this year, but she looks as good as a 30-year-old from appearance to spirit.

Rong Jiu inherited the three-dimensional facial features from her grandmother—except for a pair of slightly raised phoenix eyes from her father—the appearance that combines the advantages of the East and the West looks very beautiful.

Her life has always been peaceful and fulfilling: she goes to school, leaves school, does homework, and then learns the Taoism handed down by her father with her father.Although she couldn't make a friend in the whole elementary school because of her peculiarity, it didn't bring her any blow.On the contrary, she grew up smoothly, no matter in Taoism, learning, or even intellect.

Until she was 11 years old.

--------------

On the crimson steam locomotive, Rong Jiu leaned against the window, watching the people coming and going on the platform, they were all very different from the soft facial features, black hair and black eyes she had seen since childhood.

Everything happened so fast that she didn't even have time to digest it.

Halfway through this holiday, her father suddenly proposed to take her to London, and she thought it was a trip to a foreign country.But on the second day the father and daughter came here, a strange letter was sent by a strange bird (Mr. Rong: "That's an owl.").

Mr. Rong was not surprised, took out a letter from the package, and calmly tied it to the owl's feet.

At this point, Rong Jiu guessed that Mr. Rong came to visit an old friend.

But two days later, a fat lady came to their place, claiming to be a teacher from Hogwarts, and took her to buy things needed for school.

Rong Jiu is no stranger to Hogwarts.Her grandmother graduated from here and was once the prefect of a school in this school. When Rong Jiu was young, she often heard stories about this school from her grandmother.But she never took it to heart. In her opinion, Hogwarts is probably the same type as Andersen and Green, an excellent source of bedtime stories.But she never thought that she would have something to do with this school.

If she knew that she was going to study in this school, why did she take the exams of various middle schools so frequently in the sixth grade?Just have fun!

Then she had a bunch of weird things—including this so-called wizard's robe she was wearing, and the so-called magic wand that was hidden in the robe at the moment: ten and a quarter inches, willow wood, unicorn hair.

She suddenly remembered that when she was sent away from home, her grandmother's eyes were full of reluctance and longing.She knew that grandma came from the place she was going to.She asked in a low voice, "Grandma, don't you want to go with us?"

Grandma's gray eyes were filled with tears for a moment, but she shook her head firmly: "No, dear, I can't set foot on that land again until I'm forgiven."

"You have to take a good look at that piece of land for me."

Grandma knew that she would be away for a long time.

The father who knows everything clearly, the grandmother who knows the result...

Came to my grandmother's hometown and studied at the school she used to attend.Maybe, she didn't come here by accident?

But at this moment, her father has already left and returned to the land where she grew up, leaving her alone and about to embark on an unknown future.

Hearing footsteps approaching, she hurriedly wiped away her tears, and turned her head to look - a boy with black messy hair and a pair of bright green eyes was standing uncomfortably at the door: "Hello, I can sit here?"

"Of course." Rong Jiu replied with a smile.

The boy sat across from her awkwardly: "I'm sorry, the other cars seem to be full, I hope I didn't bother you."

"Of course not." Rong Jiu said, "My name is Rong Jiu, from China, nice to meet you."

"Harry Potter." He looked very curious, "Excuse me, can I repeat your name, I mean, the pronunciation is very strange..."

Rong Jiu was obviously taken aback, then laughed: "Sorry, it was my mistake, maybe you can call me Jiu."

"uncle?"

"Nine."

"Dove?"

"...Come on, Harry, follow me, Nine."

"..."

It wasn't until the train started that Harry successfully mastered the pronunciation, and couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: "It's really a wonderful word. But, how did you come here from such a far away place?"

"I don't know either." Rong Jiu looked thoughtfully at the slowly receding scenery outside the window, "My father suddenly told me one day that it was time to take me to London, and I still feel that, It's like a dream."

Harry obviously felt the same way, and he leaned forward slightly, as if to say something.At this moment, the sliding door of the box was pulled open, causing him to fall back in fright.The two looked at the door at the same time, and the first thing they saw was a red-haired boy with a few freckles on his face, pointing to the seat next to Harry: "Is there anyone here? The other places are full."

Harry shook his head, and the boy sat down.He glanced at Harry, and then immediately looked at Rong Jiu opposite.Both noticed that there was a smudge on the tip of his nose.

"Hey, Ron."

A pair of twin brothers also came.

"Listen, we're going to walk around the middle car now—Jordan Lee got a big marsupial spider."

"Oh." Ron grunted.

"Harry, oh, and this beautiful lady," said the other twin, "we haven't introduced ourselves to you Fred and George. Weasley. This is Ron, our little Brother. See you later."

"Goodbye." The three said together.The twin brothers closed the compartment door casually.

Ron looked very excited: "Are you really Harry? Harry Potter?"

Harry looked up at Rong Jiu, then nodded.

"I thought George and Fred were kidding me. Then you, you really... I mean..." Ron pointed to his forehead.

Harry pushed back a strand of hair in front of his forehead, Rong Jiu and Ron looked closely at the same time with wide-eyed eyes, and there was a scar of lightning engraved there.

"How did you do it?" Rong Jiu widened his eyes, looking very surprised.

Before Harry could answer, Ron interrupted even more surprised: "Don't you know, Harry Potter?"

"Oh..." Rong Jiu's face turned red instantly, "I'm sorry, I don't know... Uh, Harry, are you famous?"

"Of course!" Ron shrugged. "There's no kid in the wizarding world who doesn't know about Harry—oh, sorry, I mean, your parents, aren't they wizards?"

Rong Jiu imitated Ron and shrugged: "My parents are Taoist priests."

"Taoist?" Harry and Ron were both attracted by this novel word.

Being watched by these two eyes, Rong Jiu's face turned even redder: "Well, that's what the East calls wizards." Probably—forgive her for not being able to find any other explanation.

"Wow, that's really cool. It turns out that there are wizards in the East, and it seems to be a completely different magic system from ours."

"Well, at least we cast spells without wands."

"Then...then do you know how to cast spells without a wand?" Ron's eyes widened. "I heard that only very advanced wizards can cast spells without a wand!"

Rong Jiu's face was about to explode: "Uh, but I don't know much..."

"Try it." Harry was obviously curious, too. "I haven't seen anyone cast a spell yet."

"Okay..." Under these two gazes, Rong Jiu couldn't utter a word of rejection, but then made a request, "Then can you tell me about this... world? Wizard?"

"Of course no problem!" Ron replied readily.

Rong Jiu thought for a while, took out a piece of candy from his pocket, and put it on the table.

I saw her changing her posture with her hands, drawing various dizzying trajectories.Something was forming under her hands in this small compartment, even Harry and Ron, who were watching, could feel it.

This is real magic!

It seems that the warm-up has been completed, and the movements of Rong Jiu's hands have stopped.Then, she looked up, and Harry noticed what seemed to be a silvery glint in her eyes.But before he could observe clearly, Rong Jiu patted the air lightly and said, "Go!"

A gust of wind swirled under Cong Jiu's hands, gently rolled up the candy on the table, and then——

"Ouch!"

The candy smacked Harry's forehead like a bullet.

But Harry didn't care to complain, he picked up the candy from his body, his eyes widened, and Ron had turned into a curious baby: "It's amazing! You didn't use a wand at all! How did you do it!"

"Well... this is a Taoist priest." Rong Jiu couldn't explain it either.

In the following time, they got together and chatted a lot. Harry and Rong Jiu taught Ron to read Rong Jiu's name together. They talked about Hogwarts, the four houses, and their own family... Finally, she has a general understanding of the world she will face.

Before this land, there was a dark war.A dark wizard named Voldemort but with a bunch of nicknames such as the Dark Lord Mysterious Man, etc. tried to rule the wizarding world, and did a lot of terrible things for it, and everyone was afraid of him.But this person is very powerful, and everyone still has nothing to do with him.

Hearing this, Rong Jiu was actually a little envious.This feeling of "I just like that you can't get used to me but can't get rid of me" is her life goal!

But later, when this person's power reached a peak, his mass murder was terminated.

"...The mysterious man went to Harry's house, intending to kill Harry....Why? I don't know, you have to ask him this question." Ron vividly told the information he knew, "But somehow something went wrong, he didn't kill Harry, he just left him with that scar. But he got the backlash and disappeared."

There was also the arrival of the dining car halfway, and Harry generously treated them to a lot of candy.Of course, they also met a little witch named Hermione Granger, and the toad who helped find the child named Neville Longbottom.Rong Jiu was very surprised that some people still have leprosy.

The rolling hills and dense forests were still visible against the dark purple sky, and the train seemed to be slowing down.

Harry and Ron took off their jackets and changed into their black robes - which Rong Jiu had already changed before getting into the car.Ron's robe didn't seem to fit well, it was a little shorter because it no longer covered the sneakers Roth was wearing.

A voice echoed in the carriage, "We will arrive at Hogwarts in 5 minutes. Please leave your luggage in the carriage, and someone will send your luggage to the school in batches."

Rong Jiu stood up abruptly, and at the same time she saw Harry's legs trembling slightly, and Ron's freckled face turned pale.They hurriedly stuffed all the remaining candies into their bulging pockets, and then squeezed together into the crowd in the corridor of the carriage.

The train stopped slowly.People crowded forward, finally squeezed out of the car door, and came to a dark and small platform.The wind was so cold that people couldn't help shivering.At this time, I saw a dim light bouncing up and down above the students' heads, swinging from side to side.

"All freshmen come here!"

A big man was walking towards this side, holding a lamp.As he walked, Rong Jiu looked at his feet uneasily—fortunately, the ground was not cracked.

Unexpectedly, the big man came up to them, his full beard couldn't hide his smile: "Hey! Harry, are you okay?"

Harry raised his face and smiled at him, Rong Jiu and Ron followed closely behind him, looking at him curiously.

"This is Hagrid, the gamekeeper of Hogwarts." Harry softly introduced to his companions.

"Come on, come with me—are there any freshmen in the first grade? Be careful walking, freshmen follow me!"

The freshmen staggered down a narrow and steep path following Hagrid.

"Soon you'll be seeing Hogwarts for the first time in your life," said Hagrid loudly. "Just around the corner!"

There was a loud admiration from the crowd.

The long and narrow path suddenly opened up, and what came into view was a large black lake.A great castle with many turrets and towers stood between two lofty hills, and its windows shone brightly under a sky full of stars.

"There's only four in a boat," said Hagrid, pointing to a row of boats moored to the shore.Harry, Ron, Hermione and Rong Jiu boarded the same boat.

"Are they all on board?" Hagrid shouted, who was sitting alone in a boat. "Okay, let's go!" The fleet lined up set off at the same time, as if they were gliding together on a mirror-like lake.All the children were silent, looking up at the magnificent castle.When the fleet got closer and closer to the cliff where the castle was located, the children felt as if the castle was standing on top of their heads.

"Heads down!" Hagrid yelled as the boat came to the edge of the cliff.The children followed orders very obediently.The boat carried them through a curtain of ivy above the face of the cliff that hid the entrance, and along a black waterway that ran directly below the castle.It took a long time before they arrived at an underground port.There, they disembarked from the boat and climbed up the rocky and pebbled mountain path.

"Hey, that kid! Is that your toad?" Hagrid, who was inspecting the ship, found the toad that had been missing for a long time.

"Thank goodness!" Neville raised his hands up in joy, bouncing around.Seeing him making intimate gestures towards the leprosy, Rong Jiu felt goosebumps arose, and quietly moved two steps to the side.

Guided by Hagrid's light, the children continued to climb up a passage between the rocks on the shore, and finally came to a wet and flat grass field under the shadow of the old castle.

They walked up a stone staircase and gathered in front of the castle's huge oaken front door.

"Is everyone here? Hey, boys, are you still there?" Hagrid raised his huge fist and knocked hard on the door three times.
