Then, soon after, they were sitting in a small, dusty and damp room with the orphanage sisters.
"You want to send Elysia to the gifted school? Am I misheard?" Mrs. Brown asked.
He smiled gently like an old father with a twinkle of stars in his eyes as he replied, "Yes, we really hope we can let Elysia go to school according to her parents' legacy. she was alive. Mrs. Brown if you don't mind can you tell me how long she's been here?"
"Apparently. it's been ten years. That's when a police officer brought him here, if I'm not mistaken it was on the 7th of November, 81. He was a docile child and cute, we've never heard him cry. We don't understand who would abandon a child like that? But then...."
Mrs. Brown stopped talking, the memories still haunting her and Dumbledore then had a bad premonition. This premonition also came to Mr. Elephants in conversation less than 50 years ago. Even Professor Severus Snape, became interested in the story.
"Did something happen to the child?" He asked in a low voice
"I'm not saying it's a 'bad' thing, I just think it's 'strange' but that's not what I mean... That kid, sometimes his eyes are like bright sunlight. but sometimes it makes people feel like being seen through, that's what we're afraid of
He 'hmmm' and took a sip of tea from his cup. "And is there anything else strange about little Elysia?"
Mrs. Brown then began to feel a pang of pain, which increased her discomfort.
"Ah...... Well...... Elysia is an excellent student. The highest position in the whole school, of course, Elysia gets it easily, she even skipped class a few years ago. Most Everyone in the school couldn't believe it, Elysia is really a genius girl."
Albus was suddenly relieved, perhaps Mrs. Brown had taken it seriously, letting her exaggeration convince everyone in the room. There was no longer any reason for his bad feelings, and Albus had almost convinced himself when Severus Snape's voice spoke again.
"What about friends?"
At this point, Mrs. Brown's voice became more difficult day by day, but she tried not to laugh and said, "Ah.....Elysia she has never interacted with people her age or forced anyone else. . You know....children.... They make fun of each other a lot."
Professor Snape suddenly shouted with a growl, anger raging in his throat, what he hates most is strong-willed bullies who are weaker than him, and that brat, she was indeed born of James. out, no difference at all.
"That brat is a bully, isn't she?"
Mrs. Brown exclaimed, "Oh, actually it's the opposite, poor little Elysia. You both know that we're just a poor orphanage. The kids will do anything. And then Elysia appeared with a lovely face like an angel, everyone said she was like that, and especially around her there was always something very special, I I think that must be the reason why the other boys and girls get angry.She is always the center of trouble, there are many times when we find her being beaten, there are also many times when we find her locked up. in a warehouse all day..."
"And nobody can do anything?" he asked, frowning.
"What can we do, the children are so cunning, they always give us headaches because we can't find any evidence to accuse them, and Elysia is always alone. We wish we could come. help her." The sisters defended each other before the professor's eyes, her eyes filled with panic and the professor could clearly feel the fear on the other's good face. "But then everything changed..." she whispered as if talking about the lonely ghosts deep within the decorative walls "but how can they change...."
"What's changed, Mrs. Brown?" Mr. Albus asked gently. His feelings were now surrounded by doubts, fears that had been burning in his heart for a long time and then reappeared, during the conversation, he tried to find similarities. this girl's was just a gentle coincidence under the creator's table, until the third time......
Snape was probably still too young for that era, but he could tell what the mentor in front of him was thinking, Albus had told him stories of the best students at Hogwarts for half a century. recently, and if he could see the similarities based on what he said, then he was sure that Albus had noticed this most clearly.
"You're still going to take her away, aren't you?" The nun asked again in a whisper similar to the one before.
"Elysia has been enrolled in school since she was born, nothing can stop us from taking her. We just want to know a little bit more about her," she tried to reassure the sisters.
Mrs. Brown nodded and said everything she knew or even suspected." When he was seven, things started to change and we couldn't say anything more because there was no point. There was no reason to spy on her. She had always been a docile girl, a prodigy who always attracted the attention of her teachers. But during that time, the children began to fear her. starting with May It's unbelievable, but really human hands can't be broken easily, can they? I asked her if she did it and she said "It's not me, it's not me, it's Amanda!!! " about the latter part her voice began to fade.
It all went by very quickly, then a month later we visited a farm, so the kids could play with the animals, but there was a small snake in the car, Elysia seemed amused by it. he and the little girl kept the little animal with them. We didn't see anything strange, it was tiny, and most of the time Elysia carried it with her, refusing to let anyone touch it. But it all happened to Finn another orphan and May's roommate, on the eve of Christmas one year, we learned that the boy had stolen the animal, killed it, put it inside. gift box and put it on Elysia's bed. Then the young people started calling Elysia a monster that even the snake didn't want to be around her, little Elysia didn't even shed a tear.
A week later, Finn was hospitalized in a coma. No one knew what happened, the boy slept from day to day and refused to wake up. The boy finally woke up after nearly two weeks, and when he was born again, even the doctors did not understand what had happened. But I remember Elysia's smile at that time.
That same year, we found two boys locked in the basement, I couldn't understand what happened, but they started to fear their own shadow, the kids couldn't see the shadow. that again. And the kids did whatever it took to not be in the same place as Elysia, that lasted for almost seven months, I think, then one of Otis committed suicide. The boy hangs himself in the room, most people don't believe us when they see the little girl, all they see is an angelic face."
When Mrs. Brown had finished speaking, they could clearly see that she was frightened. However, mixed with it was many emotions, almost utter terror and this made the two men shiver. Both of them witnessed the same thing, but stronger, more powerful than that, that was the face that represented the Death Eaters.
Snape couldn't hold back the shiver that gnawed at his spine as he remembered the past. Meanwhile, Albus kept trying not to laugh and asked if they could talk to Elysia. Having been and being a spy for many years, that forced Snape to hide his feelings, but the idea of meeting Elysia displeased him in the slightest. So far, if something scared him, he would leave and never set foot there again, but he couldn't do that, deep down he knew he had no other choice, and one thing. Something about this Miss Potter pulled his thoughts.
