[HP]Blue Soul

"Charlie, Charlie, great news." Mrs. Betty broke into the pet washroom, her voice of surprise even overwhelmed the sound of water splashing from the nozzle in Charlotte's hand.Charlotte is bathing a large dog.Frightened by Xiaobai on Charlotte's wrist, the big dog has no interest in communicating with Charlotte at all. If it weren't for the temperature coming from his hand, Charlotte would even think he was bathing a doll.

Mrs. Betty was circling excitedly at the entrance, while Charlotte turned around and turned off the nozzle. When the room became quiet, Charlotte asked, "What's the matter, Mrs. Betty?"

Mrs. Betty stopped, and took a few steps forward to press Charlotte's shoulder. She grinned and her eyes almost narrowed. "Great thing. I just got the call. You passed the exam!" Mrs. Betty said. "Although they still have some objections about your age, it's not a big problem. I have something to do with it. Anyway, you passed! Charlie."

Charlotte was not that excited. She had prepared well in theory for this exam, which was also one of the culprits that caused her to catch a cold last time. Excluding the uncooperative factors of pets, she completed every task perfectly, and the eyes of the examiners standing beside her were almost overflowing with admiration, so when Charlotte came out of the examination institution, she was already Make sure you get this certificate.

"Thank you, Mrs. Betty. If it weren't for you, I might not have been able to go so smoothly." Charlotte raised her head slightly and said.At this time, she was already about the same height as Mrs. Betty. Mrs. Betty often said that according to Charlotte's growth rate, she might be several heads taller than her in a few years.In terms of height, Charlotte has always been at the forefront, and even Severus, who had already started to draw, couldn't keep up with her.

Mrs. Betty patted Charlotte on the shoulder, and was very satisfied with Charlotte's thanks. After all, she did make a lot of efforts in this regard. She smiled and said, "It's mainly yourself. My friend said that whether it's theory or In practice, you have done everything perfectly. You are really suitable for this line of work. I suddenly feel that it is a bit of a talent to put you in my small shop. Maybe you should take the road of research. "

Charlotte's eyes lit up slightly. She was worried that she would not have the opportunity to discuss with Mrs. Betty about her departure.If Mrs. Betty is similar to what she thinks, then she should feel less guilty even if she leaves.Charlotte murmured: "Then, Mrs Betty—I—"

"I decided to recommend you to my friend. She is missing an assistant now, and she told me about this on the phone just now. I think what she said makes sense. As for the staff, I will send out the recruitment today, I think It's not difficult to recruit." Mrs. Betty didn't hear what Charlotte was saying, and she was still in the previous phone conversation.

"Huh? Assistant?" Charlotte asked in surprise.

"Yes, she said that you are very talented and she likes you very much. If you go to work in London, she will help you solve the problem of accommodation. You can do multiple things in one fell swoop without any worries. I think this is a good opportunity." Mrs. Betty explained with a smile.

Charlotte scratched her head in embarrassment, her hair was still wet with her wet hands, as if the words she had just said were stuck in water and couldn't spit out for a long time.Mrs. Betty saw the bright embarrassment on Charlotte's face, and she asked suspiciously: "Why? Don't you want to part with Cokeworth?"

Charlotte shook her head and said, "No, no. Actually, I have always wanted to tell you one thing." Charlotte lowered her head lower and lower, and her voice became lower and lower. She felt that an elder It seems particularly immoral to keep thinking about leaving while doing your best to help and tolerate.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Betty asked, "Actually, I've been feeling that you wanted to say something to me recently, but I couldn't wait for you to speak, so I didn't ask you. I'm not a dragon, what can you do?" Tell me. I think I'm a reasonable person." Mrs. Betty winked at Charlotte.

Charlotte smiled shyly. Mrs. Betty has always been reasonable, but her conscience just couldn't bear it.She pursed her lips, summoned up some courage, and said decisively: "I met a man named Alan Travers a while ago. Maybe you have heard of him? I just saw him when I was preparing for the exam I think his research is very interesting, but he is very short of an assistant and invited me, so I want to be his assistant. That's it." Charlotte finished speaking in one breath .

Mrs. Betty was a little surprised, and it took a while to react. She whispered, "Do I know this person?" Then she frowned and let her eyes go, thinking about it carefully, and then she exclaimed, " Is that Alan Pascal Travers?"

Charlotte read Allen·P·T silently in her heart, and it was indeed this, she nodded.To her shame, she didn't know that Alan's middle name was Pascal.It is mainly based on the way Allen and Pascal get along. If it weren't for the fact that they are father and son, Charlotte would have thought that they actually had a grudge against each other.

"My God, you've seen him!" Mrs. Betty's eyes widened in disbelief, "I mean, I mean, he's quite famous in our circle, appearing and disappearing suddenly, like It was like a gust of wind. But it left a deep impression on us, as long as we write papers in our line of work, no one can escape his paper." Mrs. Betty seemed to be telling a legend, which made Charlotte unconscious Swallowing, you must know that in Pascal's mouth, Allen is "nothing accomplished" now, but he has a very famous reputation in the Muggle world. She dares to say that Pascal, a wizard, doesn't know much about the Muggle world. .

Mrs. Betty suddenly touched her face, a blush crept up her wrinkled face that had been carved by time, and she jumped a little as if she had suddenly shrunk her age.Seeing Charlotte's surprised gaze, she said shyly, "Sorry, sorry. I actually met him once, at an industry gathering. At that time, I really didn't expect the author of the paper to be so young and very—very handsome " Then Mrs. Betty lowered her voice, moved closer and said, "Most of the girls at that party were probably staring at him." Charlotte was not surprised that Mrs. Betty was one of them, but Mrs. Betty was definitely married at that time , and then she heard Mrs. Betty clear her throat and say, "Of course, of course I am also one of them. After all, appearance is something you should appreciate when you should appreciate it." With flickering eyes, she asked, "Then is he married?"

Charlotte thought about it, Xiaobai once mentioned that he had a lover, and when she visited Allen Manor countless times, there was no trace of a hostess there, she said: "No, I didn't see Yes. He lives alone."

"He's over 40, right?" Mrs. Betty calculated in surprise, "He's not married yet? Could it be that he's planning to die alone? It's not easy to have offspring when you're too old."

Mrs. Betty's tone suddenly showed a hint of worry. Charlotte couldn't help but lament that older women would worry about such things whether they were her relatives or not. It was her son before, but now it's Ai, whom she only met once. Lun.She could imagine what Mrs. Betty would say to her when she was older.At that moment, maybe...Sev...Charlotte's face was hot.

"This shouldn't be something we should worry about." Charlotte had to interrupt Mrs. Betty.

"That's true." Mrs. Betty pouted, "My grandson hasn't seen the shadow yet, and I don't know if he will be able to see him this Christmas."

Charlotte said with a smile: "It's Christmas at the latest, haven't you already calculated the time?"

Mrs. Betty nodded in satisfaction, "That's right. I will definitely see my lovely little grandson at Christmas." After Mrs. Betty finished speaking, she walked outside the bathroom. I agree with his assistant, but it's better for me to meet him, a single old man, I have to see if he is reliable." Then she took two steps, then turned around and said, "I forgot one more thing , Just now the phone call told you to go to London to get the certificate next month, but this time you are the only one."

After Mrs. Betty left, Charlotte looked at the big dog shivering in the sink, and shook her head helplessly. Sometimes she felt that as she got older, Mrs. Betty seemed to be rejuvenated, becoming more and more playful up.But what Mrs. Betty said is right, she needs to find Allen to explain the situation, that is, what to say about the situation at that time is what Allen should consider.

Charlotte is happy to be the hands-off shopkeeper.

After get off work, Charlotte was ready to leave early.Mrs. Betty asked curiously: "To that Mr. Travers?"

Charlotte nodded. She put on her coat, put on her homemade backpack, and said: "He is doing a research now, and he has reached the stage of writing a thesis. I have been observing this recently. It is a very interesting research." Then Afraid of arousing Mrs. Betty's interest, she didn't know how to compile a Muggle study for her, so she quickly added, "It's a study of large wild animals, and it is said that it will be published abroad."

Sure enough, Mrs. Betty stopped talking.She nodded and said, "Okay then. Remember to tell him about the meeting, okay? I can make an appointment at any time. Also, don't go home too late, it's best to let that Ellen Send it off, sir, Spider’s End is very chaotic.”

Charlotte made an OK gesture, and ran towards Layton Street quickly while it was still dark.

When she arrived at Allen Manor, the sky was still light, and the sunset glow cast colorful soft light on the hillside, but the lonely wooden house had no shadow, because it was not a real house.When Charlotte stepped on the hillside, as the scenery slowly unfolded in front of her eyes, the classical manor began to glow warm red under the glow of the sunset.

Xingxing quickly appeared in front of her, and he was polite as always. He bowed slightly, and Charlotte returned the salute, and called out kindly, "Hello, Mr. Housekeeper."

The star's sharp laughter sounded, and the baseball-like eyes shone in the orange sunset. It restrained the excitement in its tone, and called out kindly: "Hello, Miss Lottie (Miss Lottie)." Lottie, it's a star The nickname he took for her very solemnly, in order to show his respect and love for Charlotte, these are Xing Xing's own words.

Charlotte readily accepted, although her current nickname is really too much.As long as there is a nickname madman like Lily by her side, she feels that she can accept more nicknames.

"Tsk." Allen, who was standing at the door of the warehouse, sighed, "Your charm should not be underestimated. I think that in this manor, except for me and Pascal, the old man, everyone else is prostrate at your feet." Ai Lun's tone was a little sour, and Charlotte laughed happily. She knew that Allen was jealous that she had won the favor of the little Hippogriff Bain.Since Alan was lucky enough to touch Bain the day Bain broke his shell, Bain never allowed Alan to approach him again.

Charlotte quickly followed Alan out of the magical beast box, and put Xiaobai on the table in the small room. Charlotte skillfully carried the bucket and wandered around in every corner of the forest.Since the star was injured, Charlotte took the initiative to take on the task of feeding. Although she suffered from Waterloo several times at the Fire Crab, other magical creatures would still look at her face and quietly accept her feeding.This move made Xing Xing respect Charlotte even more, and this respect is not limited to picking up and sending off in person, calling her nicknames, but also reflected in the more and more delicious meals she cooks.Charlotte is afraid that when she leaves the star, will she be able to eat other food, so that she won't starve to death because she can't eat-the breakfast she eats now is made by the star and kept warm sandwich.

The last stop is the Hippogriff.As soon as Charlotte approached, Bain happily pasted him. Alan, who was walking behind Charlotte, made a toothache sound again. It was okay for him to be out of sight, but he had to follow behind Charlotte. , acting as a poor translator.Bain has not learned enough vocabulary so far. He can understand what Charlotte said, but it is difficult for him to relay what Charlotte said to Marianne.

After a period of growth, Bain was already as tall as Charlotte's chest. He was well developed, his wings were plump, and his storm-like gray feathers made him look much more imposing than Marianne.He loves to rub Charlotte's cheek with the top of his head, his force is very light, like a dozen soft feathers brushing gently on her cheek, so every time it will be so itchy that Charlotte can't help it. Can't help laughing.

Hugging Bain's head, Charlotte rubbed hard against his soft neck before letting him go in satisfaction.Compared to Bain's liveliness, Marianne not far away was listless as if she was sick, just prostrate on the ground, her tail constantly sweeping.

Charlotte walked towards Marianne, Bain followed obediently beside her, and Allen fell four or five steps away from her.

"She's been like this these past few days." Allen said, "I thought she was missing you." Charlotte really hasn't come to Allen Manor for two or three days.

"Marian, you don't look very well, what's wrong with you?" Charlotte asked.

Allen repeated it in French at the top of his voice.

[I miss my ethnic group, Xia. 】Marian's hawk-like head rested limply on its front paws, and her voice was weak.

"Is your group also on the Alps?" Charlotte walked to Marian's side and sat down on Marian's wings, while Alan stood by a tree beside him, not knowing where to get it out. A small stool was skillfully placed in the corner of the tree, and he continued to translate for Charlotte while sitting down.

[Yes, but my group was attacked by wizards, they should have migrated to other places.I was shot down and injured by the curse, and was rescued by the fool Alan.I love real sky, real forest, summer.This is not my home. 】

Charlotte was silent, Marianne was actually right.Hippogriffs are originally a whole group living together. They need to live together, hunt together, and learn the skills that hippogriffs need to learn together, instead of being kept in a half-truth and half-fake environment like pets. in the box.Little Bane needs an environment where he can learn the Hippogriff heritage.What's more, they yearn for the real sky.

"What did she say?" Allen broke the silence.

Charlotte hugged Bane, who had just rubbed her head on her knee, and stroked his soft feathers. She said, "She said she wanted to find her clan."
