Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 270 Tia in the Mist

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

This undoubtedly made her very disturbed.

Tia is a very ordinary girl, from childhood to most ordinary, so ordinary that 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 sudden changes, Tia always feels at a loss.Even if she passed her 23rd birthday last month, it still is.

In 23 years, 23 years have passed since her life, but she didn't seem to have grown up at all, living in a muddle-headed, impoverished life.

Yes!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 experience without a father or mother has never been a fig leaf for her to cover up her cowardice.This is just because children with the same life experience as her and even worse than her are everywhere. The children in the orphanage where she grew up are not mostly like this?

She didn't have the capital to complain, nor the opportunity to complain, at least she thought it was.

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, as it was when she was a Muggle, and still so after she became an unknown witch.

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

She only knew that she had spent her study career in the magic school in a daze, barely crossed the threshold of the graduation pass, and became a poor witch who could not 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 "Gidro Lockhart Personal Audiovisual Conference" that has been making a lot of noise in the British magical world is almost everyone knows, even Tia, a foreigner from afar, will inevitably hear about it.

But unlike those wizards who join in the fun in order to see the truth of the "audiovisual conference", Tia is here for the free food.

Tia, who had little money, was already penniless as early as a week ago. If she didn't find anything to eat, she would starve to death in this strange country.

She is very thankful that there are so many free food and beverages!

Those wealthy merchants probably wanted to take advantage of this event to hype, 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 happened?"

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 again as before, hugged her knees tremblingly, and buried her slightly dirty face deeply into her arms.

"...Don't, don't bully Tia...Tia knew it was wrong, Tia knew it was wrong..."

In Tia's subconscious, when encountering danger, all resistance will attract more rude treatment.So since she was a child, she never argued anymore, even without 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 expected.

There are no bully Muggles kicking her or pulling her hair; nor are there any bad wizards who use magic to make her grow pustules or other things that make 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, and faintly exudes a fresh smell.

Everything around here seems to be full of vitality.

"……Da da da."

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

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

"Serious Law"

The two maroon horses that were leading the carriage were strangled aside by the coachman. They trotted two steps and stopped at the dirt road.

"Master Lockhart, I'm home."

"Okay, thanks for your hard work... Wait for me on this side of the road, I'll 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 steadily walked 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 sitting in the carriage, and blinked blankly.

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

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

Although Tia's academic performance is not good, 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...is anyone 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 timidly begged for mercy, 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.

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

Tia did not move, she did not 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 carriage, 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 suddenly became blurred, and when Tia blinked again, she saw that everything in her field of vision changed.

"...Where is this?"

This is a verdant meadow, which seems to be trimmed from time to time, making them look extremely level.

A towering fenced gate stood not far in front of her, and 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 large blocks of gray-black wall bricks are stacked tightly, 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.

"Squeak"

Tia was startled, turned her head quickly, 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. Where did he come from?Is it Apparition?still is……

Tia 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 Guidro Lockhart, I’m here to serve as the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts...from today From the beginning, we are colleagues."

"……Hello there."

One was a cheerful and calm voice, and the other was a cold and ruthless 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.

But somehow...

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