The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Stark called this operation the "Mouse Hunting Project", which looked like some kind of secret agent mission, and the name was very apt. Sirius and Lupine nodded in approval while praising him for his previous bravery and fearlessness.Several people blocked all the gaps and holes inside and outside the screaming shed, not giving the "rat" the slightest chance to escape, but in fact, they were not sure when the "rat" would appear.

Ma Linglong felt that Stark had nothing to do with the next action. The place where he should stay most was not Hogwarts, but the workshop under Marbury Villa. He was standing in the magical territory at this moment. It was originally an accident.

"I think I'm the most qualified person to stay here." So Stark pulled off his clothes, exposed the reactor, pointed to the circle and said that his poison had completely disappeared, and he didn't even feel uncomfortable at all, "At least I Hide somewhere in here to witness the results, in case it's useful to get me somewhere, like when all of you have lost your wands and can only solve problems with your fists."

Ma Linglong believed that what he said was true. The fact that the uncomfortable feeling of being oppressed in the heart did not prove that Stark reappeared after turning back into a human. This may be directly related to his turning into a cat, although no one can Explain why.

But Ma Linglong will not easily turn Stark into a cat or other animals. It is a fluke that he was not affected this time, or his body and personality conform to the characteristics of a cat, so his body is not affected. If there is rejection, she can't guarantee that it will happen every time.

Transfiguration is inherently a very dangerous magic, no matter how it is used.

Stark still remembers the matter of replacing elements. Now he is more concerned about whether the mouse can be caught smoothly, and whether Sirius can be cleared of his charges. That is his new friend, which Stark rarely met.Although he was sure that it was only a matter of time before the poison of the palladium metal affected the blood again, this did not mean that this should be dealt with urgently. Stark had always kept the problem of the reactor in mind, but this time, he had more time to prepare.

There was another good thing that made Stark linger, which neither he nor Ma Linglong expected.

Ever since the twins wanted to get Stark's signature, the whole Gryffindor has exploded. Ma Linglong didn't know what the two little guys who were completely ignorant of Tony Stark could do. Anyway, the next day At noon, other students began to ask Ma Linglong for answers under the pretext of not understanding the content of the homework, and then carefully asked for Stark's autograph.Those are all pure Muggle families and mixed-race families (mostly the former) children, they have a deep understanding of magic on the one hand, and are familiar with Muggle hobbies on the other.

Before Stark became Iron Man, he was only popular with women, because of his handsomeness, talent and financial resources, but after Iron Man, his fan base expanded to children, which was undoubtedly a surprise and a nightmare for Stark , because he doesn't know children very well, especially when children want to touch his armor, it's more difficult than him to fight ten Obaday Stans.

Not long after, Stark began to be approached by major toy production companies. They wanted to obtain the copyright of his own Xiaoxiang and armor, and made Stark’s soldiers and posters and other related peripheral products. At first, Stark felt that those Stuff is unspeakably silly, until the sales of his products are not bad.

Stark put this part of the proceeds directly into the funds of the children's welfare organization. In just one year, he set a high record of charitable donations of [-] million US dollars.

Stark's positive image and cool posture are undoubtedly the best idols sought after by children. For little wizards who are deeply influenced by the Muggle world, Stark may excite them more than the super wizard in the chocolate baby card. .

After all, Stark is not only funny, but also handsome.

Ma Linglong wasn't sure if the influence had something to do with Fred and George's propaganda, the words from the twins' mouths were always exaggerated and vivid.Because on the third day, children of pure wizards began to ask for Stark's autograph, and Ma Linglong had every reason to believe that they knew nothing about Iron Man.

And those children who are pure wizards think that getting Stark's signature will help them get ideal grades.

Ma Linglong suspected that this was the twins' nonsense again, and she regretted introducing Stark to them.

Stark is open to every little wizard. Of course, not every communication can go smoothly, such as when he said that he is a scientist and likes to make metal armor with a screwdriver.It made many pure-blood wizards look horrified, and they may associate Stark's statement with some weird pictures.

Stark got a lot of small gifts from the children, most of them were snacks, and most of them were quills. Among them, there was a big red quill that was obviously his favorite.It wasn't so much fun when he wrote his name on his hand and watched the black ink splatter all over his body, though.

He screamed and took off his clothes, and ran to Ma Linglong, begging her to catch "them" quickly.

Ma Linglong naturally admired Stark's nakedness, and Stark was willing to obey any shameful posture he was asked to make at this time.

Unfortunately, Stark has not been able to eat the chocolate frog so far, because it always jumps out of Stark's hand or mouth and runs away.But at least at one point, Stark collected three wizard cards, two of which were Dumbledore and the other was Merlin.Ma Linglong didn't need to say a word to let him understand what role these two people played in the entire wizarding world.

And Stark was brooding about the fact that Dumbledore was not Santa Claus: "So Santa doesn't live in Hogwarts, right?"

"Even Muggle kids know that Santa Claus is from Finland." Ma Linglong said. 【Note】

"That is to say, there is really Santa Claus in this world?" Stark said with great interest, "I thought it was a lie, I mean, those gifts were given by parents, right?"

"The premise is that you have to really believe in Santa Claus in order to get the presents they send, but the Muggle children probably don't believe it very early on." Ma Linglong said to him, "For example, you don't believe it."

"How could he distribute so many gifts overnight, he couldn't even know what the circuit board is and how can he give every child what he wants." Stark said dubiously.

"First of all, not every child wants a circuit board, and Santa Claus is not alone." Ma Linglong said, she is a teacher of the history of magic, and Santa Claus just happens to occupy a pivotal position in the torrent of history, " They are a group of people. To be precise, they are not human beings, but elves, not the beautiful elves you think. In fact, they are not very good-looking. They are similar to house elves. You have seen them, and you say they look like Some kind of hairless dog." Ma Linglong imitated the real Santa Claus in the magical world with his wand, as if he was giving Stark a history lesson, "their magic is more powerful than ordinary wizards, and they exist in This world has been around for centuries. In the beginning, they gave supplies to the poor, and they were not called Santa Claus at that time. Until modern times, some Christian Muggles gave them some kind of romantic legend, as well as big beards and red clothes .”

Christmas elves collect Christmas wishes from Muggles or wizards, and deliver gifts down the chimney on Christmas Eve, all of which have nothing to do with magic.They use a special kind of magic to let those human beings who believe in Santa Claus get what they want. Except money and love, Christmas elves can give you everything.

However, as Chinese and other non-Christian races generally do not receive gifts.

Stark said happily: "Maybe we can go to Finland for vacation this Christmas." He didn't believe in the legends at first, but now, Stark's heart is eager to prove that those myths are true.

"Adults can't see Santa Claus, they are very timid and only like to stay with children, not to mention you are a Muggle." Ma Linglong said, "And, you have agreed to the invitation of Fred and George to participate in the The Weasley family has a family gathering. I advise you not to let their pigeons go. Those two prank experts will not let you go. Unless you can give a convincing reason, looking for Santa Claus is obviously untenable. .”

"I guess you've seen it," Stark said regretfully.

Ma Linglong nodded: "Yes, they come to Hogwarts every 30 years, bringing gifts and other wonderful things."

"Sounds great, what have you got?" Stark listened intently.

Ma Linglong thought for a while: "A pair of chopsticks." She didn't feel any joy, and described it in a flat tone, "I didn't want anything at the time, maybe they felt that not giving me something made them uncomfortable So I got a guy to eat, and it was dinner time, so maybe I was thinking about food."

But Stark seemed very excited: "I like this place, Hogwarts." This was the 101st time he said to Ma Linglong after three consecutive days of his "idol" career, "I can buy A house, I live in it when I go on vacation, and I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it.”

"No, don't expect to come anytime, maybe you can if you keep a low profile, but now, Iron Man, you are famous, don't think about coming a second time in a short time." Ma Linglong said coldly as always, and then she will The students' homework was graded quickly, "Okay, don't bother me anymore, I hope you have noticed that these papers are piling up, and I have to finish the grades by tomorrow morning."

"You're still so charming, sweetheart." Stark came up behind Ma Linglong, and directly inserted two rough palms into her clothes, "You look so sexy at work."

"Since you know I'm working, take your hand out. It's useless to please me, heartthrob." Ma Linglong was a little worried, thinking that if the Ministry of Magic knew that Muggles were staying at Hogwarts Making any noise will have a negative impact on Dumbledore. Ma Linglong is not as relaxed as Stark, "After today, you go back... Oh, Stark, you are a bastard..."

Stark pinched the two points on the girl's chest a little harder, and he cut off Ma Linglong's words at the key point: "I knew you liked being treated 'rudely' by me."

"No, Stark, I'm serious." Ma Linglong pushed Stark away forcefully, pulling his restless fingers out of his chest, "It's not good for everyone if you stay here, I It’s not that you’re bad, you’re fine, you’re fine, you’ve made friends here, you’ve gained fans.”

"I know, I know," Stark said eagerly, "I'll go, I swear I will, how about tomorrow afternoon, I'm only here until tomorrow afternoon, at least the reminder from Santa Claus is tomorrow."

This morning, while eating chocolate bread, Stark bit into a piece of paper with a line of words written in chocolate sauce. It was a time, an inaccurate but clear enough time.Ma Linglong saw that it was Dumbledore's handwriting, and there was no extra content. After the two of them read the note, it automatically turned into butter, and fused with chocolate to become an ordinary sweet sauce. It is what it is.

But Stark didn't eat it.

"Okay, tomorrow, I will accompany you back. Tomorrow happens to be Saturday."

"I can come again, right?" Stark said.

"Wait for the limelight to pass."

Stark thought for a moment and said, "Can I invite Sirius to my house, and of course Remus, do they like parties?"

"Thank you, Stark." Ma Linglong suddenly hugged him.

"Thank you, what aspect, my fingers serve your nipple very comfortably?"

"No." Ma Linglong said, "If you want to get my feedback on this, well, yes, but what I want to say is not this." She said, "You made them very happy, Lupine and Sirius, I Thought it would be hard for them to smile like they used to."

"I'm surprised too." Stark put his arms around her waist and said, "It's hard for me to make people feel really happy. You know, everyone loves Stark is just a media joke."

"Maybe, because you have a relative who is a wizard, and you almost became a wizard." Ma Linglong teased.

"Speaking of relatives." Stark said, "Actually, I think I'm ready to meet your relatives. I guess after experiencing Hogwarts, I shouldn't make a fuss about the wizarding world in China. When can I Meet your parents?"

"Don't compare the magic here with Chinese magic, they are completely different."

"I only care about whether your parents will object to me..." He shook his neck, "Maybe, I should turn into a cat first, or, what animals do your parents like?"

"Ants." Ma Linglong said, and she smiled.

Stark frowned, as if he took it seriously, "Oh, that's really quite...a strange hobby, I hope I won't be trampled to death after I become like that."

Ma Linglong didn't know how many arrangements Dumbledore had made for this incident, and when he started planning. He was so mysterious, as if he was omnipotent and omniscient, and he could always think ahead of others.

The action signal didn't make Ma Linglong and Stark wait too long, it appeared unexpectedly in the afternoon of the second day, and this matter started before Stark was about to leave Hogwarts.

Ma Linglong took him around the campus for an entire afternoon. Taking advantage of the fact that the students were not in class, Stark's appearance would not cause too much commotion.

Stark's so-called campus life is completely different from what Ma Linglong is familiar with. He has never been to kindergarten, and he has only been in elementary school and middle school for one year each. It is not because he is too troublesome that the school is unwilling to take him in. Influential parents will not be subject to complaints in this regard.

Stark's intelligence is beyond the control of every school, and no teacher can teach him the knowledge he needs.Howard had no choice but to send Stark to boarding school. At that time, Howard was participating in a very dangerous research. He was afraid that his son would be affected by staying with his parents.

Even in boarding school, Stark mostly entertains himself. He has no friends, let alone a partner with whom he can share his feelings, and he doesn't need a partner. He blocks all thoughts with his extraordinary intelligence and pride. The passage of those who want to approach him.

This is not in line with the teaching tradition of Hogwarts. There are many geniuses among wizards, but every wizard must attend classes, even if there is almost no fault in the students like Tom Riddle (Voldemort) back then, there is absolutely no possibility of graduating early .

Ma Linglong told Stark many stories about the school, those ghosts, secret passages, changing ladders, and of course more of Ma Linglong's own, as well as her so-called love affair with Lucius. Tucker sounded like a funny joke, but it was just a game between two children.

They walked to the back mountain of the teaching building, which is very close to the Whomping Willow, which is another secret passage leading to the Shrieking Shack. Ma Linglong told Stark that there lived an "animal with giant blood" in the back mountain Scholar" (Hagrid would have burst into tears with joy if he knew how authoritative he was in Marringlon's eyes).

"Is that your student?" Stark suddenly pointed at the backs of the two children in front and said, "It looks familiar."

"Of course it looks familiar." Ma Linglong said.

Hermione and Harry leaned furtively against the edge of the archway, neither of them wearing their school uniform, which meant wizarding robes, since it was Saturday.The two seemed to be avoiding something, they leaned half of their bodies and kept looking out, and Hermione explained to Harry from time to time.

"What are you doing here?" Ma Linglong walked forward, "Are you going to find Hagrid? If so, you'd better hurry up, it's getting late, and the back mountain is not safe at night."

Rubeus Hagrid (Rubeus Hagrid), a half-blood giant, has a terrifying appearance and an unusually tall stature. His image is not flattering, but in fact he is extremely gentle.Before this semester, Hagrid was just a key keeper, because he was framed as a student when he was young because his spider died (Weeping Myrtle), and he couldn't use the wand blatantly (he was deprived of the right to use the wand).But this semester, Hagrid has been transformed into Professor Hagrid.He is insanely fascinated by magical animals, especially those that are ferocious and huge by nature.

Hermione seemed to be frightened when she heard Ma Linglong's call, she turned around suddenly, her face was pale, Harry half understood, and didn't look very calm.

"You are planning to do something bad, children." Stark noticed, and said in a teasing tone, "Remember me, I am the black and white cat with the sapphire on the chest."

Of course the two kids knew who he was, if they didn't know it before, they knew it now, after all Stark's name had spread among the students.

The situation was a bit wrong, Ma Linglong saw some spatial bonds surrounding Hermione and Harry.She immediately took Stark's hand, preventing Stark from taking a step forward: "Where are you from?" Ma Linglong said, her voice sounded unavoidable.

Ma Linglong couldn't be sure if the two children standing opposite were themselves, that feeling was very strange and similar.

Harry was about to say something, but Hermione stopped her. The little girl pulled out a golden chain from her collar. She tore the chain out completely. A round pocket watch with exquisite workmanship was displayed between Ma Linglong and Si In front of Tucker.In just a few seconds, Ma Linglong seemed to have received some kind of mental shock, and she immediately understood that the Harry and Hermione she saw were not the Harry and Hermione at this time.

"Where are you from?" Ma Linglong asked again, "You know what it means, Granger."

"Three hours," said Hermione. "We only have three hours."

That was from three hours ago, Hermione's answer was clever.

Ma Linglong nodded, but she already had a fairly complete guess in her heart: "That mouse..."

"We know the whole truth." Hermione said, "Professor Lillian, I can't say too much, you must understand, we have to go."

"Don't be seen by others."

Hermione nodded cautiously.

The conversation between the two girls sounded like a signal to the boy. The expressions of Stark and Harry were almost the same at this moment. They glanced at each other from time to time, and then returned their eyes to the girl next to them.

Hermione dragged Harry away from that corner, and their direction was Hagrid's cabin.

"Please explain." Stark said, "I think something unusual must have happened just now, right?"

"Our mouse-hunting plan failed." Ma Linglong said in a very sure and unwilling tone.

"Because I was bumped into by your students?"

"No." Ma Linglong led Stark to stand where Hermione and Harry were standing just now, "Stark, promise me one thing, temporarily forget everything you saw just now."

"I don't understand," Stark said, "but I'll do it."

"The action signal has appeared." Ma Linglong said, "Do you still remember what Dumbledore said to us three days ago, when we didn't know what to do next..."

Stark immediately went on to say: "You can go to the Shrieking Shack to see!"

The author has something to say: [Note]: There is a Santa Claus village in Finland.

If you have an impression of the Ha 3 movie, you will know what Linglong saw~

In fact, everyone's liking for Nini is a feeling of love and affection, that is, people who like Linglong have heard of Nini for a long time, so they have a certain liking for him before they meet him.After seeing the person in person, there are various bonus points, so I like it even more.
