[Comprehensive British and American] Extraordinary

Autumn 1937, London.

A small orphanage that looked dilapidated was rarely lively today.

"Amanda, do you have a butter cake with cherries on top?"

"Amanda, do you have servants in your family? I have seen a large group of maids in some rich families."

"Don't say it as if you really saw it!"

"I actually saw it, at the last charity sale!"

Surrounded by a group of children from the orphanage, the little girl was dressed differently, with polished leather shoes, a beautiful and brand-new dress, and a bright red cloak, which was out of place in the dilapidated orphanage.

"Who is that?" Amanda asked, pointing to the gloomy little boy not far away.

The others showed disgust and fear.

"His name is Tom! Amanda, please don't talk to him. Anyone in the orphanage who talks to him will have bad luck."

"Yes, he was the one who killed Goyle's rabbit!"

"Once I saw him talking to a snake, it was scary."

The other children in the orphanage talked about the weirdness of the little boy named Tom, and Amanda smiled sweetly: "I see, thank you for reminding me."

"No, you're welcome."

Amanda glanced back at Tom who had been staring at them sullenly, smiled politely at him indifferently, and nodded slightly as a greeting.

After Amanda walked for a while, the other party had disappeared when she looked back.

Although the orphanage looks clean, it is actually very poor, as is the case in the world. That's why Mrs. Cole, the head of the orphanage, is very enthusiastic about Amanda, who looks like a child from a rich family.

The children in the orphanage are very good at observing words and expressions, and subconsciously flatter Amanda who is different from them at first glance.

But Amanda woke up hungry in the middle of the night, and she got up from the bed expressionlessly.

kitchen, x.

Mrs. Cole's office, √.

At the same time, the route from her room to Mrs. Cole's office automatically formed in her mind.

Amanda bit her lower lip, put on her little leather shoes, put on her cloak, and opened her door.It was quiet outside, and Amanda tightened her cloak. Originally, she thought it was so late, and she was the only one who would go out for a night tour.Unexpectedly, she had just walked out of the building door when she heard footsteps from behind.

Amanda closed her eyes, pictured what she wanted in her mind, and in a split second, the scene changed.

When another night walker followed, he became suspicious of the courtyard without a trace, and ran out of the building, looked left and right, and finally went upstairs unwillingly.

After he left, Amanda released the phantom ability-although it was not the first time she used it, she was still not proficient in it, and the changes in her body at that moment made her feel a little at a loss. The side effects were not limited to these, she It seems to feel more hungry.

What Amanda didn't know was that after she was in a hurry to find something to eat, a little snake crawled into the room of the little boy who followed her down with a hiss.

Listening to Nagini's narration, Tom's eyes widened suddenly, [Will she be like me? ]

[Oh, Tom, I don't know, maybe we can ask. ]

Tom pressed his lips into a straight line.

Amanda found an unopened box of pastries from Mrs. Cole's office. As for how she got into the locked room, thank her life skills.Oh, and she also created the mouse bite marks on the pastry box by the way, and she also lit up the anti-spying method.

As for Mrs. Cole's reaction after she found out, it was out of Amanda's consideration.

On Amanda's second day at the orphanage, she worked with the children at the orphanage, and she was assigned the lightest work, with other children helping her share most of it.

"Why didn't you see Tom?"

"He's never with us, he's always alone, it's weird."

Amanda just asked casually, but she didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to find her.

"Hello." Amanda stood straight, showing a polite smile to Tom who blocked her way.

Tom pulled his sleeves a little awkwardly, but when Amanda looked over, he immediately raised his chin and said with a sneer, "Stop your smirk, it's useful to those idiots, but it's useless to me!"

Amanda blinked: "I don't understand what you mean."

"Oh, isn't it?" Tom sneered, "smile at those ordinary people who flatter you, and they are willing to work for you. I thought you would be different, but you are just like them. "

"That's really embarrassing, let you live in a world full of ordinary people." Amanda said indifferently, "However, what qualifications do you have to classify them as creatures that seem to be inferior to you. Just me I know, you are what they call an alien, a freak." Are you in the second year of high school so early?What a brat.

"That's it!" Tom clenched his fists because of Amanda's words, and pursed his lips so that the branches on the ground floated up, and they floated to Amanda, but he was not very skilled in controlling them, and the branches fell in front of Amanda. down.

"Do you know? You're so lucky." Amanda picked up the branch, waved it casually, and tilted her head to look at Tom, whose expression became proud because of her words.

"I'm mocking you, Tom." Amanda said bluntly.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"In my opinion, you have abilities that ordinary people shouldn't have, and that's unscientific. If you are discovered by someone with a heart, you will be sent to a laboratory, and those crazy scientists will study the source of your ability , they will do anything that seems insane to me. Such as drain your blood, disembowel you, open your head and take out your brain, etc. That's why I say you are lucky to be in this little orphanage Here, no one thinks of this to report on you." Amanda said while staring at Tom, breaking off the branch, throwing it on the ground, grinding and grinding on it with her leather shoes, and crackling the branch until the whole branch was gone. crushed.

Nagini, who was hiding in the grass, felt that the whole snake was bad.

"My ability is bestowed by God, which distinguishes me from others." After all, Tom is still a child under 11 years old. He usually comes into contact with this small orphanage, and he doesn't know much about the outside world.But Amanda was different in his eyes, no matter how she dressed or spoke, she was out of tune with the orphanage, she was glamorous and beautiful, which made people feel ashamed.

Tom met Amanda's mocking eyes with a half-smile, and suddenly became angry from embarrassment: "Aren't you the same as me? Me, I saw you yesterday."

Amanda spread her hands: "So? Are you going to report me? No one will believe you, Tom. Look at you, a weird and withdrawn kid in an orphanage; as for me, an educated kid from a rich family Noble kid. They'll just take you for a liar, tsk tsk."

Although Amanda did not express contempt and contempt for Tom on the surface, on the contrary she was very polite (?), but what she said really showed her contempt.

Tom stared at Amanda closely, looking as if he was going to pounce on her in the next moment and take a bite out of her flesh.

"Similar, huh, in my opinion, you are not qualified enough." Amanda contemptuously emphasized Tom's original words back to him, and then left leisurely.

Tom's pale face turned red, he was absolutely angry, he could still hear Amanda, who was arrogant in front of him just now, turned to face the other children in the orphanage, and her voice became sweet and greasy, and then she made the other children cry with a few words. The child dispelled his doubts and went about his own business.

Nagini looked at Amanda's back and flicked her tail. Although she didn't know what they were talking about, she seemed to be very powerful.

Tom was fasted that day because Mrs. Cole found that the pastry she was reluctant to eat had been ruined by mice, but this was not enough to appease Mrs. Cole's anger. Mrs. Er vented her anger, and was driven back to her room without dinner.

Tom grew paler, but went back to his room without a rebuttal.

None of the other children in the orphanage spoke for him. On the contrary, there were several who gloated at his misfortune.

Amanda's performance has nothing to do with herself, and she didn't even give Tom a look.

When Tom left the cafeteria, he glanced back at Amanda in a strange way. She was thanking Goyle for handing her the plate.Gore, who always disliked him and deliberately robbed him of food several times, turned red... Idiots, they are all idiots!

Tom lay curled up on the bed, and Nagini went to get him something to eat, but he thought that Nagini probably couldn't find anything to fill his stomach, and it was already late autumn.

Anyway, he's used to it.

"Good evening, Tom."

The voice that made Tom's teeth tickle with hatred appeared in the cramped room. Tom sat up from the bed, looked hostilely at the smiling Amanda, and lowered his voice to growl at her: "What are you doing here? See my joke ?"

"If you have to think so, I don't deny it." Amanda came uninvited, and sat down on the only chair in the room very contentedly, and put the bag in her hand on the simple table by the window .Putting his hands together on his knees, he looked at Tom with a smile, as if nothing had bothered them before.

"I can talk to snakes, can you?" Tom blurted out, annoyed when he realized what he had said, but he didn't want to show it in front of Amanda.So he added: "You can't?"

"So what, and what not? That doesn't change the fact that you're hungry tonight, Tom."
