Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 270: Tia in the Mist

()In the valley, it suddenly darkened, and the invisible gray-black color covered Tia's sight. Fastest update

This is undoubtedly disturbing to her.

Tia is a very ordinary girl, from childhood to most ordinary, so ordinary even makes her want to cry a little.

Tia is also a girl who is often bullied by others. She has been bullied from childhood to most, and every bit of her memory is full of obscurity.

When encountering a sudden change, Tia is always at a loss. Even if she passed her 23rd birthday last month, it still is.

Twenty-three years, 23 years have passed since her life, but she seemed to have not grown up at all, living in a muddle-headed, impoverished life.

Yeah! She grew up in a Muggle orphanage in Massachusetts, USA, and was enrolled in the Ifamoni School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the age of 11, and graduated with great difficulty.

However, such a tragic life without a father and a mother has never been a fig leaf for her to cover up her cowardice. This is just because there are many children who have the same life experience as her, and even more miserable than her. The children in the orphanage where she grew up are not mostly like this?

She doesn't have the capital to complain, nor the opportunity to complain. At least she thinks that is the case.

Other orphans can rely on their talents and hard work in exchange for the motivation to climb continuously, but she cannot. She is weak and helpless...but the reason is only in her own body.

"God gave me opportunities, only because of my cowardice, those opportunities were lost in vain."

Tia often thinks this way, when she was still a Muggle, and she still did that after she became an obscure witch.

She didn't understand why the cat and leopard statue representing the wisdom of scholars roared while waiting for the branch in the hall of Ifamoni Castle, and the thunderbird statue representing the soul of adventure fluttered.

She only knew that she had spent her study career in a magic school in a daze, barely crossed the threshold of graduation, and became a poor witch who couldn't even find a living job.

This time, perhaps for the first time in her life, she mustered up the courage to leave the orphanage where she had lived for 23 years and came to this land that was completely unfamiliar to her.

Recently, the "Gidlow Lockhart Personal Audiovisual Conference" that has been making a lot of noise in the British magical world is almost universally known. Even Tia, a foreigner from afar, will inevitably hear about it.

Different from the wizards who join in the fun in order to see the truth about the "audiovisual conference", Tia is here for the free food.

Tia, who had no money at all, was already penniless as early as a week ago. If she didn't find something to eat, she would starve to death in this strange country.

She is very fortunate that there are so many free food and drink supplies!

Those wealthy merchants probably want to take advantage of this event to hype it up, but she would not understand this. All she knows is that she can finally last longer.

In the huge building that is said to be the site of the audiovisual event, it seems that there will be many interesting activities about to start, but Tia didn't even look at it.

What she wants to do most now is to pack as much of the free food as possible into her deflated stomach because these things are only available on-site and are not allowed to be taken away.

However, when Tia was sitting in front of a staple food stall and desperately stuffing French fries in her mouth, she found that the sky was depressed.

She bulged her cheeks full of French fries, raised her head blankly, and immediately saw the gray-black clouds that continued to sink in the sky.

"...what's wrong?"

Only such a question flashed through her ignorant head, and then she couldn't see anything.

The crowd that was originally crowded around disappeared, and the noisy screams reverberating in her ears disappeared, and even the French fries that were full of her mouth disappeared.

It seems...even the whole world has disappeared.

She squatted on the spot as before, hugged her knees tremblingly, and buried her slightly dirty face deeply into her arms.

"...Don't, don't bully Tia...Tia knows it's wrong, Tia knows it's wrong..."

In Tia's subconscious mind, when encountering danger, all resistance will lead to more rude treatment. So she never argued since she was a child, and she didn't even have an explanation.

She only knows how to beg for mercy, only know how to admit mistakes, only know how to tell others... She is a cowardly and boring girl. In this case, at least, she would not be bullied for too long.

But this time, it was different from what she had expected.

No Muggles who love to bully kicked her or pulled her hair; nor did the bad wizards use magic to make her grow pustules or other things that made her painful.

In her ears, there seemed to be a faint sound of horseshoes...

Tia quietly opened her tightly closed eyes and raised her head timidly. Suddenly, she was surprised to find that she was actually on an empty and quiet field ridge.

The green fields are bathed in morning dew, shining with crystal brilliance; the dense soil is moist and soft, faintly exuding a fresh smell.

Everything around here seems to be full of vitality.

"...Da Da Da."

The sound of horseshoes approached from behind Tia, and she hurriedly looked back, and immediately saw a carriage coming here briskly.

On the side of the horse road not far behind her, a peculiar farm is located in the middle of a fruit forest, and a smooth dirt road winds up and extends to the horse road.

"Well-Law"

The two maroon horses that were pulling the carriage were strangled aside by the coachman, and they trot for two steps and stopped at the dirt road junction.

"Master Lockhart, I'm home."

"Okay, thanks for your hard work... Wait for me on this side of the road, I will be back soon."

In Tia's confused vision, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and then, a tall and handsome man easily jumped out of the carriage. After saying goodbye to the coachman, he walked steadily towards the farm.

The coachman nodded towards his back, then flicked the rein and drove his horse to the side of the road.

Tia looked at Lockhart who was walking towards the farm, then looked at the old coachman who was sitting in the carriage, and blinked blankly.

"They...can't they see me here?"

She was clearly squatting on the ridge not far from the horse track, but neither Lockhart nor the old coachman glanced at her at all. Even though the line of sight has passed near her several times, she still turned a blind eye.

Though Tia's academic performance is not good, but she is at least a graduated witch. At this moment, she finally realized dullly that she was probably caught in some strange and weird magic...

"...again... who is teasing Tia?"

She hugged her knees tightly, bit her lower lip, cowardly thinking about this terrifying and disturbing question.

Even though she is often teased and bullied by others, she has never encountered such a situation. Who is bullying her with such a powerful and terrifying magic?

Is this... worth it?

"...Tia, Tia knows wrong... Whoever it is, please, please let Tia go..."

She begged for mercy timidly, but no one paid any attention to her. The surrounding area is still peaceful, only the wild frogs in the field humming softly, full of wild interest.

Time passed a little bit, the old horseman on the carriage was dozing, and the two maroon horses were also unusually behaved and quiet.

Tia didn't move, she didn't dare to move, for fear that as long as she moved, something terrible would happen.

Until Lockhart came out of the farm with two suitcases, put his luggage on the wagon, and headed down the road. However, after driving for a certain distance, the carriage suddenly rose into the air.

At this moment, the surrounding scenes were suddenly blurred, and when Tia blinked again, she saw that everything in her vision changed.

"...Where is this?"

This is a verdant meadow, and it seems to be trimmed from time to time, making them look very smooth.

A towering fenced gate stood not far in front of her, looking into the gate, at the end of a winding ramp, there was an amazing quaint castle.

The castle has rugged and natural lines, and the large gray-black wall bricks are piled closely together, making it look heavy and solid, as if it were indestructible.

In Tia’s eyes, this is a more magnificent castle than her alma mater, Ifamoni Castle.

While she was stunned, another series of horseshoes sounded from behind her. When she looked back, it was still the carriage carrying Lockhart falling from the sky, trotting and stopping at the school gate.

"Squeaky"

Tia was surprised~IndoMTL.com~ quickly turned her head, and then buried her face in her arms again in shock.

The tall fence door opened, and it was opened by a cold-faced man. There was no one just now, so where did he come from? Is it Apparition? Still...

Thea is scared! Very scared! What she fears most is a man with a cold face and sharp eyes!

"Oh, are you Professor Severus Snape? Hello, nice to meet you! I'm Gidlow Lockhart, I'm here to serve as the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts... …From today, we are colleagues."

"...Hello."

One is a cheerful and calm voice, and the other is a cold and unforgiving voice. If it were in the past, Tia would definitely be more inclined to the former, at least such a sunny man would not easily bully her.

Somehow...

Tia raised her head suddenly, and peeked at the gloomy man again...
