Hogwarts Raven

Chapter 4 4: Goddess of Luck Bless You
The fog before my eyes faded away layer by layer as if space was collapsing.

Ian suddenly opened his eyes.

Ian moved his body uncomfortably on the crowded little bed. The bright moonlight outside the window seemed to cover the room with a layer of silver mist.

There is a clock on the wall.

The pointer pointed to the time, 12:7, and the seconds were still ticking away.

I entered into a dream that was so real and yet so magical, but I didn’t expect that in reality, only seven minutes had passed.

"call"

Ian took a deep breath and reached out to wipe away the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

He just felt a little dazed, which was mental.

He thought of what happened in the hazy fantasy, and subconsciously looked at the back of his hand, but he could see a faint white mark.

The small room was still a little dark just by the moonlight.

Ian sat up, walked to the desk, opened the drawer, took out a small flashlight from among the various hand knives, turned on the light, illuminated his arm, and observed it carefully.

"what is this?"

Ian observed the gifts from his friends with curiosity.

A faint mark, fleeting, disappeared completely into the skin.

When he enters the dream, he can bring things from reality into the dream, and can also take things out of the dream, just like the chocolate he gave to Ariana.

But, what is the function of this mark?
Ian didn't know.

He tried to check his skill panel.

There is something to look forward to.

however.

However, there is no display of the mark on the panel.

In fact, if you think about it, this gift from a friend is obviously not a skill. Just like Ian's ability to enter the hazy fantasy is not found on the panel.

Maybe I need to check if there are similar cases in the Hogwarts library? That place is said to have the most comprehensive knowledge in the entire wizarding world. Ian thought so and touched his arm on the desk. Soon, he felt sleepy and went back to bed and fell asleep.

time flies.

The next morning.

When the sun rose, Ian had been sitting at his desk, reading a language book for quite some time.

[Successfully read French words, language proficiency +1]

[Successfully read Latin, language proficiency +1]

"call"

Ian let out a breath and rubbed his eyebrows.

It is not easy for him to learn a language. He needs to pronounce each word according to the phonetic not only that, but also needs to remember the meaning of each word firmly by memory.

of course.

Studying hard always pays off.

Language Proficiency (Level 3): 35/400 (+12)

A morning of practice.

This has already increased your proficiency by 12 points.

The day when this skill reaches level 5 and the extraordinary characteristics are unlocked is not too far away. In the days when there are no spells to learn, the practical skills that can be chosen are limited after all.

I just don’t know what the extraordinary features of this language will be?
With expectations for the future.

Ian started his day.

After lunch.

He then dragged his cart to a familiar place and started setting up a stall to tell fortunes... It might be a bit serious to say that this was cheating, but this way of making money was ultimately a matter of looking at the person to whom he was applying the most favorable treatment.

Ian seemed to be fiddling with the divination tools on the table, the Tarot cards, but in fact, he relied entirely on self-taught psychology and psychological characteristics to guess what the other person was thinking.

to be frank.

In fact, even if one really knows how to tell fortunes, from the perspective of making money, it may not be as good as what he does - sometimes people are not always willing to hear the truth.

Following Ian's loud shout.

soon.

Another woman was attracted to Ian and tried it out of curiosity. So Ian observed her dressing, the pauses between her words, and her facial expressions when she spoke.

I know what I know.

He blurted out the words as if he could see what the woman was thinking.

"Ma'am, you've been feeling very stressed lately."

The charlatan's words made the woman nod calmly.

This is not something difficult to guess.

Ian smiled and said, "Is it about further studies?"

The woman was a little surprised: "Oh, you are right."

Ian nodded: "Well, your tutor has caused you some trouble. You are about to graduate, but if you continue like this, obviously, your tutor will not let you graduate smoothly."

The woman opened her mouth wide and was shocked for a long time before she came to her senses.

After this time, her voice was full of trembling, and she couldn't help but respect Ian's tone: "Mr. Little Fortune Teller, yes, you are right, so, what should I do?!"

[Successful psychological observation, psychology proficiency +1]

The properties panel has been improved.

Ian was not in a hurry. At this moment, the customer in front of him had completely entered his "hunting" range...
With his ability to read minds, he was able to completely control the girl psychologically.

However, Ian is a man of principle.

"Miss, I'm afraid you need to spend some money and ask the principal to smooth things over. But this is difficult. If you have a talisman, the goddess of luck will definitely take care of you..."

The woman already trusted Ian very much, and asked as she looked at the various amulets he recommended.

"How much is one? Can I buy them all?"

He looks rich, but I didn't expect him to be so rich. He's a fat sheep.

Ian immediately said, "Yes, of course, the amulet only costs 5 dollars a piece."

Ian took out 20 amulets and placed them on the table for you to choose from. "I want them all! Twenty times the luck!"

I watched the lady in front of me buy all 20 amulets and pay a full 100 pounds.

This is really profitable.

Those twenty handmade amulets are actually foreign versions of talismans.
On the yellow paper, the word "lucky" was scrawled in English, and that was all.

However, Ian still pretended to say to the lady: "Goddess of Luck bless you."

"Thank you!" The girl also put her hands together, looking very loyal.

Soon after, I watched the guests leave.

Ian finally smiled.

"It seems my luck has changed. I completed the task in one go. I might as well go back early today!"

One hundred pounds is considered a large sum of money with great purchasing power, equivalent to about one thousand RMB, and that was RMB in 1990.

You can imagine the purchasing power, which is almost equal to Ian’s living expenses for two months.

"It's better to close the stall early today..."

After Ian collected the money and tidied up the fortune-telling stall, he pushed the cart and when he passed by a restaurant, he thought about it and went in to buy several soup pots.

And so, pushing the cart, we returned to the orphanage.

"Wow, Ian, what is this?"

As soon as they returned to the orphanage, the children saw him coming back with so much food, and when they saw Ian's cart, their mouths watered.

Not only the little kids, but even the slightly older kids couldn't help but run over.

"Hey, Ian!"

After they greeted each other, they looked at the soup pot with burning eyes, suppressing their desire to eat, and just watched.

Ian immediately smiled, picked up the soup pot, put it on the table, and said to the children.

"Okay everyone, go find some cutlery and wipe your saliva!"

After hearing Ian's words, everyone burst into laughter.

Soon, after finding the tableware as Ian instructed, the group of children devoured the food in no time.

While eating, someone said.

"Ian, I really envy you. You are going to study at an aristocratic school. I heard from Ms. Elena that the school principal personally invited you to go!"

"Wow, I want to go too."

"Tom, just stop thinking about it. Even when Ian was in the orphanage, he would study and read all kinds of books every day! Can you study?"

"Some nobles like Ian because of his intelligence!"

Listening to a group of people talking.

Ian was a little confused at first. What aristocratic school? But soon, he realized that this was the power of the Confusion Spell.

So, he just listened to everyone's conversation with a smile and only responded occasionally.

Just then, a female voice suddenly sounded beside me.

"Ian, I know you're not going to an aristocratic school. You're going to Hogwarts. The old gentleman with the white beard said that it's a school for wizards who can turn candy into something."

Ian's train of thought was disrupted by the sudden voice, and he felt dazed.

He turned and looked at the little blonde girl in front of him.

The little girl's face was conflicted. While no one was paying attention, she spoke to Ian in a pleading tone.

Looking at the little girl's longing eyes.

Suddenly, Ian seemed to have activated some skill and felt a ringing in his ears. Amid the chirping sounds, he seemed to hear the girl's anxious cries.

"I want to go to Hogwarts, and I also want to learn magic that can make candies appear out of thin air! Then I will definitely be the Candy Princess!"

Ian shook his head.

The sudden sound disappeared.

This is the ability of [Thought Perception]. Occasionally, he can directly hear the most pressing thoughts in other people's minds.

at this time.

Everyone was happily playing and eating the soup pot, but the little girl in front of him was still looking at him with longing eyes.

Ian looked at the little girl and quickly realized that this girl might have a magical talent and the Confusion Spell had no effect on her.

This could only be the result; otherwise, Dumbledore's magic would not have resulted in oversights and mistakes that could be heard by Muggles.

"Can Ian?"

Looking at the little girl's anxious expression.

Ian finally recovered from his shock and said with a calm smile: "Of course, Catherine, but you have to be obedient and keep this secret for the time being..."

"Hogwarts only accepts obedient children."

The little blonde girl named Catherine was so happy that she wanted to celebrate.

Ian quickly stopped her and said, "Catherine, we agreed that this needs to be kept secret."

Catherine immediately covered her mouth and said, "I'm a good girl, I won't tell anyone! Even if Mammy breaks my legs, I won't tell anyone!"

Ian: “.”

Night time.

In the orphanage's kitchen.

Ian waved the blade in his hand and slaughtered chickens, ducks and other livestock.

The two chefs on the side continued to praise Ian: "Thank you for your help every time, Ian. With you, we save a lot of time."

Children need to nourish their bodies, so they need to eat some meat.

And every night, Ian comes to help in the kitchen.

That's why.
