[Harry Potter] A Letter from 1889

1.

In 1889, Hogwarts welcomed a rare fifth-year transfer student.

Rumor had it that in her three years at school, she had put down the Goblin Rebellion and dealt with enough poacher wizards to fill Godric's Hollow, while ensuring that many dangerously deadly Fantastic Beasts were placed under legal protection. One Slytherin student swore they had seen her cast the Unforgivable Curses at least three times on her way to class.

"If you ask me, even the Dark Lord had more compassion than her," Rita Skeeter declared at her new book's signing. "He was a fiend who slaughtered everyone in his path. For someone like her to be utterly unknown in wizarding history, there must be a huge secret behind it... I've uncovered plenty of explosive revelations, all in my book, "

Skeeter leaned in, lowering her voice with a smug smile.

"Including how The Chosen One, Potter, inherited that fiend's legacy!"

In August 1995, Harry Potter was attacked by a Dementor in Little Whinging.

In the pitch-black darkness that swallowed the stars and moon, his hair stood on end. Frantically feeling around the ground for his wand, he got back to his feet, only to find that everything around him had turned upside down.

The night in London's West End a hundred years earlier looked even more bizarre and terrifying than the Dementor.

In the darkness, a girl with gray-blue eyes held out her hand to him.

"Welcome to the Victorian era."

Meria transmigrated as a baby.

She was born as the Second Industrial Revolution began, the Paris Commune rose and fell, and the East and West were swept up in tumultuous change.

The tides of history surged, but if you interviewed the residents of London's West End, most would only wave their hands indifferently and ask for another beer

This was the bottom of the "abyss," where the poor were described as "helpless, stupid, and feeble," and where a cheap life was "worth less than two loaves of bread." They felt no attachment to the past, no concern for the present, and no hope for the future.

Meria, born here in 1874, should have become one of them.

A missing father, a mother driven into prostitution, an East-West mixed-race appearance, a penniless home...

"I've always tried to save money. I've worked hard from morning till night since I was five, but I could save so little."

She wanted enough to eat, books to read, a chance to go to school, and a way out of the bottomless abyss.

"When I was fifteen, I ran out of savings. Some dumbass tried to force me to be his mistress, and I couldn't find work."

Her pretty gray-blue eyes lifted, their color cold and burning.

"So I killed him."

That day, a storm had just passed. An owl flew down the chimney and landed in the blood-soaked scene, delivering a letter years overdue:

An acceptance letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

[Content Warnings]

1. Harry is the love interest. Happy ending.

2. The two eras cross over, and the heroine knows the Harry Potter plot.

3. The background of the Hogwarts Legacy game has been heavily altered. The heroine is a Slytherin and, as the blurb says, a merciless dark lord. The story's values follow the original series: no demonizing or whitewashing.

4. Free story, irregular updates. Bookmarks and comments are effective ways to hurry me along.
