The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Sirius walked quickly from the bar towards Harry, he was so excited that he couldn't hide his joy, and so did Harry.

It has been two months since the last time they met at close range, that time getting along was not as easy as this time: "Hey, Harry, how are the Dursleys treating you?" In fact, Sirius knew that the Dursleys He hoped that the Sirley family's attitude towards their godson would be a little restrained when they knew that Harry had a godfather who had been in prison.

"It's okay." Harry said happily. He didn't care much about the attitude of the Dursleys towards him. Harry was very happy now and felt extremely lucky. "It's just that this box is a bit heavy." He said.

"I'll help you." Sirius picked up the gift box, "I guess it must be Linglong's birthday present for you."

"I contributed a little too," Stark said.

Sirius laughed: "I guess so." He noticed that Ma Linglong and Stark were wearing the same pair of rings on their left middle fingers, and his mood became a little complicated, "Okay, Harry, come here, Everyone is waiting for you to blow out the candles."

"But my birthday is over," said Harry coyly.

Sirius laughed, "Who cares."

Taking advantage of the summer vacation, Ma Linglong and Stark decided to change the venue of the party to England after discussion. Wizards need to apply and register before going to the United States. Even though they can appear from the fireplace using Floo powder, in fact In fact, if the application is not approved before coming, Congress has the right to expel you at any time.

After the last battle in New York, the Magic Congress of America has tightened stricter regulations on the entry and exit of wizards, because the performance of Sirius and Lupine made them feel the panic of exposure.

The bar that Ma Linglong bought was decorated in an old-fashioned style, with a ready-made fireplace, and it was very wide, just convenient for wizards to enter and exit.Everyone has received new invitation letters, and Ma Linglong has also received replies one after another, but Harry has not heard from him for a long time.

Stark used Jarvis to easily find out the phone number of the Dursleys' house. He dialed the number first, and a woman answered the phone. The other party strongly denied that there was a boy named Harry Potter in his family. Well, when Stark said the word "wizard", the other party screamed and hung up the phone.If Ma Linglong hadn't told him that the Dursleys were just too old-fashioned and inflexible, Stark would have thought poor Harry was living with a group of psychopaths.

Stark now knows Harry very well, not just what happened to him personally, but also the heroic deeds of his parents.Compared to sympathy, Stark is more inclined to see Harry as a precocious boy.To be honest, although Stark didn't want to admit it, he did feel that Harry was much bigger than himself back then.

The party was themed on Harry's birthday and everyone personally sent him belated birthday wishes, so many people came together even though Harry had already received everyone's kindness to him via owl a month ago It was all for him, which moved Harry to tears.

The only regret is probably that Lupine didn't make it back in time.

The children had a great time playing with the adults. Mr. Weasley took Sirius and frantically asked about aliens. Although the Ministry of Magic blocked such important news in the Muggle world, as the head of the Muggle Research Department , he was the first to see the news that aliens invaded the earth.Including those incredible high-tech weapons, and even unheard of alien magic, all of which made Mr. Weasley obsessed.

Harry guessed that the twins inherited their father's spirit of exploration.

Mr. Weasley initially regarded the aliens as some kind of dangerous magical animal. Looking at the pictures, he pointed to the appearance of the aliens and said that they looked very much like algae beasts in the southern swamps.It took Sirius a long time to let Mr. Weasley understand (of course Stark's explanation was indispensable) that aliens are people from other planets other than the earth. They look strange, but it does not mean that they are Fantastic Beasts.

The party went on for a long time, too much food, too many jokes, too many stories to tell.

Stark is still the focus of everyone, and everyone loves to hear him talk.

"You two got engaged, when did it happen?" Sirius came to Ma Linglong's side, he hid his depression and asked curiously like an old friend.

"A month ago." Ma Linglong said.

"Congratulations," Sirius said, "Scientists and wizards, enough excitement, right?" He was thankful that he had a glass of sparkling wine in his hand, so that it would be nice to drink to cover him when he was uncomfortable. had an odd reaction.

Ma Linglong touched the ring and said with a happy expression, "Thank you."

Stark slipped over from the left side of Sirius, he patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Do you want me to introduce you to some girls, hot, blond, and curious girls, of course I am not It means wizards are strange." He was very clear about Sirius' feelings for Ma Linglong, if Stark was just guessing before he met him, then he was already very satisfied during the short time he spent together at Hogwarts. confirmed.

Stark didn't know whether the other party could accept the fact that they were engaged. Of course, he didn't intend to feel guilty about it.

"Thanks, Anthony." Sirius smiled sincerely. "I like black hair."

"The one with black hair." Stark followed his words, "but it's definitely not the one in front of you."

The children played games. In this bar that had been cast with an invisibility spell, no matter how noisy they were, they would not attract the attention of passers-by and vehicles. The Weasleys looked at them with warm expressions on their faces. Smile, as if treating every child as his own.

"I guess your marriage proposal scene must be very exciting." Sirius avoided Stark's sight, and he used a clumsy way that could hardly conceal his real intention to change the subject, "It's a pity, I didn't see it."

"It's really impressive." Ma Linglong said, however, the girl didn't know anything about Sirius' feelings, she was immersed in the aftertaste of the picture, and didn't find anything wrong with Sirius at all.

"Tell me about it?" Sirius asked pretending to be very interested.

Stark said: "That's not a moving picture, I swear you don't want to know, I swear to Merlin."

Sirius smiled, relieved that Stark hadn't told him something that might have made him uncomfortable.

"Professor Lillian." Hermione walked over and said, "I have a question to ask you about the formula of the water of life and death. I went to Egypt this time and found an alternative condiment." [Note]

"Did you bring it?"

"Yes, Professor."

For a gifted student who didn't forget to do research at the party, Ma Linglong always took good care of her. She kissed Stark's face, and then followed Hermione.

"I'm sorry, Anthony," Sirius said to Stark when no one was looking at him, "I thought I might have been a little obvious, but I do wish you all the best of luck."

"It's okay, I understand, I'd be uncomfortable if the girl I liked got engaged to someone else." Stark said after taking a sip of whiskey from his glass, "but I'm not going to give her to you, never I've thought about it, so it's reasonable for you not to wish sincerely."

In the half month after the New York War, when Ma Linglong was still in a coma, Sirius made his love for Ma Linglong open and honest.It's not that he deliberately wanted to make Stark unhappy. In fact, if Stark hadn't brought it up first, Sirius might not have admitted it to his face.

Although this is not a secret to many people.

Faced with Sirius' frankness, Stark did have a second of sympathy, but the sympathy quickly turned into defensiveness.Sirius is undoubtedly an excellent and handsome young man. Although he has been in the classroom, he was wronged after all. Besides, he is also very dedicated and has no relationship history.

Sirius is also a descendant of a famous family, he and Ma Linglong are very suitable. This view is not only shared by Stark, even the Weasleys have mentioned it inadvertently. Although Stark and Ma Linglong are also very suitable, But that's different, the girl and Sirius are childhood sweethearts, they grew up together and studied together.Even Stark would be a little jealous of the inadvertent tacit understanding between the two, making him always vigilant.

Sirius is like a loyal little wolf dog. He has been with Ma Linglong day and night for 10 years and has never changed his mind. If he hadn't been imprisoned, maybe the two of them would have been together long ago, Stark thought guiltily.

But Sirius is such a friendly person. He didn't think about fighting for anything. After he knew that Ma Linglong already had someone he liked, he buried this concern in his heart. He didn't reveal it 10 years ago. , and he didn't intend to let Ma Linglong know.Sirius's kindness to Stark was also sincere, and he did not show displeasure away from him because he was his rival in love.

"It hurts me so much when you say that," Sirius said. "I don't look like a jealous person."

Sirius fell in love with Ma Linglong at first sight, and he guessed that James Potter might be the same. For them who were arrogant at the time, there was no suspense about being conquered by a girl with hard fists, not to mention that Ma Linglong had a unique attraction. force.

What really made them no longer greet each other with their fists was Lupine's secret. When they sneaked close to the Screaming Shack with curiosity, they discovered that Lupine was a werewolf and that Ma Linglong had been in the first semester as early as the first semester. I was already taking care of Lupine, who was deformed every month when I was young.

Ma Linglong used some talisman papers full of characters to restrain the werewolf's brutality, preventing him from hurting others and himself.

After that, the attitude of the two boys (actually only James, Sirius never hated Ma Linglong) towards Ma Linglong changed rapidly.James took the lead in pursuing Ma Linglong. Sirius took care of his friend and pretended that he had no thoughts about Ma Linglong.

Back then, James's pursuit of Ma Linglong was not inferior to Stark's later, or even worse. He even did not hesitate to squeeze in among a bunch of Slytherin students with all kinds of expensive gifts and rhetoric that belonged to you. Endure the rollicking and sarcasm, just to be able to eat at the same table with Ma Linglong.

At that time, he almost became the "enemy" of the entire Slytherin, not because of his high-profile pursuit, but because James repelled most of the competitors, using some despicable methods that were not very worthy of publicity.But no one could do anything about him, including the teachers at the school, James was naughty, but his grades were as good as hell, Quidditch was also very good, and the Potter family was quite prestigious among the pure blood back then.

Ma Linglong never responded to James' enthusiasm, nor did she take away his gifts, but she never embarrassed James, which was probably where her charm lay.Ma Linglong doesn't use humiliating methods to push back her followers. She sometimes poses some difficult problems to the boys, such as who can add the most points to the college in a semester, and she agrees to be the other's girlfriend for a week, or whoever If her Defense Against the Dark Arts can reach O, she will have a meal alone with that person, etc. There are many similar bonus games.

Lucius Malfoy was one of the victors. He used his prefect status to force other boys not to surpass him, so he won his "girlfriend of the week".Later Ma Linglong knew that Lucius got her by cheating, and never proposed a similar game since then, so that Lucius became Ma Linglong's first and only boyfriend in childhood.

Ma Linglong will never lack men around her, which means that her popularity with women is quite bad. Ma Linglong's only female friend is Lily Evans (except the Chinese wizard).

The war between women is much more insidious than the war between men. Ma Linglong is often tricked by her female classmates maliciously. All are pranksters.

It was in a Potions class, a public subject between Slytherin and Gryffindor, Ma Linglong's soup was added a bit of hay that must not be added, it would cause a violent acidification reaction, after the explosion May cause permanent burns to skin.No one knew whether Ma Linglong had discovered it, or maybe she hadn't, because she was defenseless.

At that time, Lily didn't like Ma Linglong very much either. Although they hadn't spoken to each other in the past three years, and they didn't have much contact with each other, Ma Linglong's appearance was always accompanied by restlessness from the boys, which was really an eyesore.

Even so, Lily was obliged to report the prankster, because the other party's actions had gone beyond the scope of pranks. Later, Lily found out that they wanted to completely disfigure Ma Linglong.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the two girls became friends after that incident, it was just the beginning of their recognition of each other.

Sirius has been watching Ma Linglong silently. The only thing he is grateful for in the past seven years is that the girl has not been in love with other boys (Lucius's one does not count). Although he admires James' perseverance, he himself But worry a lot.

Ma Linglong is alone most of the time, or only stays with her Chinese friends, she is not very gregarious, and she is not very talkative, Sirius is not sure if it is such a sense of mystery that the boys are flocking to, He thinks it's very likely.

Ma Linglong joined the Academy Quidditch in the second semester of the third grade, so the team spirit shown by the girl once again confused Sirius. She doesn't seem to be so independent, she cooperates with her teammates It went well (probably mostly with boys), but one thing cannot be denied, it didn't take long for the Slytherin girls who participated in Quidditch to stop talking badly about Ma Linglong.

The campus Quidditch competition with Ma Linglong participating can be said to be invincible. For a long time, Slytherin made other colleges only eligible to compete for No.2, whether it was Quidditch or the total score at the end of the semester (Sirius once suspected that Ma Linglong’s so-called reason to date someone after reaching the score is actually considering the total score of her own college), the layout of the auditorium is always green.

Especially after Ma Linglong won the "Goblet of Fire" championship, she was even hailed as the smartest witch in Slytherin history. The medals and trophies related to her gradually piled up into a showcase and placed on the school's honor table The most conspicuous position. 【Note】

Some people like her crazily, and naturally some people are crazily jealous or even hate her.

Probably during the first few days of the fifth grade, someone spread the news that Ma Linglong was a Death Eater. It was not just a rumor, but also so-called witnesses and evidence. At that time, Ma Linglong was found obsessed with her by her classmates. For the study of black magic, all the bad signs point to her alone, but she doesn't explain it at all.

She went from the most popular girl in the house to the object of everyone's disdain. In fact, it was later discovered that at least half of the Slytherin students' parents were Death Eaters, but they deliberately made themselves righteous at the time.

First of all, those followers of Ma Linglong, they gradually distanced themselves from her, as if they had never had any interest in her, and no one even said a single question "she must have been wronged" for her, let alone a long time ago The students who regarded Ma Linglong as an enemy tried every means to exaggerate, making everyone believe that she was a Death Eater.

This also included Lucius, who tried his best to distance himself from his relationship with Ma Linglong, and even participated in the queue that seriously injured her.

Ma Linglong went to and from school as usual. She was isolated by the people in her college as if she didn't care at all. In fact, this was not the case. Ma Linglong was very lost and even a little helpless at the time. She just acted indifferent, secretly Find evidence to get rid of suspicion.

On that cusp, those who were still willing to stay by Ma Linglong's side were all unexpected people, Sirius from Gryffindor and the others, Lily even gave Ma Linglong a piece at Christmas. The chocolate she made herself had "Li You" written in Chinese. Ma Linglong guessed for a long time before she understood that Lily probably wanted to write "Come on".

And most Ravenclaw students also think that Slytherin has gone too far (presumably her brothers and sisters have played a good role in leading the way), and Hufflepuff doesn't seem to care much about this matter.

The only Slytherin who stayed with Ma Linglong was Snape.

Interestingly, Ma Linglong seems to have become a member of Gryffindor, Sirius and James, and of course Lupine and Pettigrew Peter have to squeeze at the same table with her every time they eat, and then Lily also joined (because Ma Linglong later gave Lily a very expensive broomstick), so they half-forced Ma Linglong to the Gryffindor table.They used all kinds of funny and serious actions to prove that Ma Linglong couldn't be a Death Eater. The most convincing thing was that Death Eaters definitely didn't have delicious snacks, and Ma Linglong couldn't live without snacks. one.

Although Gryffindor students are not so easy to deceive, but after getting along with Ma Linglong, she seems to be not as annoying as the rumors say.

The rumor finally ended with a wise man, of course that wise man was Dumbledore, who found out that the people who started the rumor were fifteen female students in Slytherin, and they used the whole summer vacation to design the fake news.Due to the bad influence, they were ordered to drop out of school. The parents of the female students came to the school to find Ma Linglong, or threatened or lured her to let go of the past.

Ma Linglong didn't pursue this matter, even though the negative impact it had brought to her was huge, if the girl wasn't too calm in her heart, anyone would go crazy under such oppression.

The men and women who pushed her back at that time seemed to have returned to Ma Linglong's side, pretending that nothing had happened and getting along with her as before.

However, this was only the beginning of Slytherin's nightmare. Ma Linglong was no longer proud of her college honors. She first made Gryffindor the first place on the court, and then her total score at the end of the semester was no longer four. The highest in the academy, she always designs some ingenious traps that cause other students to be deducted points, but no one suspects her at all.

Ma Linglong got her revenge just right, she didn't let Slytherin come first (whatever that was), and she didn't let any house other than Gryffindor get ahead of them, anyway.No one knew whether it was a coincidence or Ma Linglong did it on purpose. Since the Death Eater incident, Slytherin has never surpassed Gryffindor in any item.

From that time on, Ma Linglong officially became friends with Sirius and the others. She shared her best things with them, and always put Gryffindor's honor first.They helped each other and practiced Animagus, as well as magic that is very difficult to master, such as calling the gods to protect them.Everyone finally realized that Ma Linglong was not a pure Slytherin, she had the right to choose every house at that time, Ma Linglong just randomly chose the one closest to her.

Sirius said regretfully that she should have chosen Gryffindor, but Ma Linglong told him that Gryffindor is not suitable for studying black magic. The fact that she likes black magic is not a rumor, it is true.In addition, she also loves Slytherin, but it doesn't mean that she forgives her classmates for their desperation after she was wronged.

In the eyes of the foursome boys in Gryffindor, Ma Linglong's revenge behavior is terrible and cute. She is like a real little devil. They are also little devils, so the combination of their five little devils almost caused the teachers of Slytherin to resign collectively. At that time, several teachers had a very bad attitude towards Ma Linglong. Long still hates it.

That's why, until now, the Slytherin students didn't respect Ma Linglong very much. The parents of the children thought that Ma Linglong had betrayed the college, and this idea was naturally instilled in their offspring.

In fact, Ma Linglong really wanted to make Slytherin the bottom no matter what she did, but she dismissed the idea for Snape's sake.

Although Ma Linglong is the nightmare of many people, it is also the favorite of many people.

During that time, James' pursuit of Ma Linglong had become flat, not because of boredom, but because they were too familiar with each other, and Ma Linglong had lost his sense of mystery to James. Transferred to Lily.

Seeing that his friend no longer likes Ma Linglong, Sirius wondered if he could pursue her. Therefore, Sirius always asked Lily about Ma Linglong's movements under the guise of his homework, so that Ma Linglong didn't care about her. Doubtful that Sirius likes Lily too.

"I envy you, Anthony," said Sirius, taking another sip of his wine.

"Of course, because I've got the hardest girl in the world, I guess," Stark said without a hint of modesty.

"It's not like that." Sirius said, "I envy your courage, perseverance, and smartness." He said, "I'm not smart enough, and I don't have the courage. I'm afraid of being rejected. Linglong rejected everything. The boy who pursues him, I don't know if I can still be friends after being rejected by her."

Stark knew why Ma Linglong refused, she rejected all people and things that might cause others to invest in her, and Stark did not intend to tell him this secret.

That's really unnecessary.

"If I were your age," Stark said, "I should be the first to be eliminated. Don't even think about it, I must be."

"Really." Sirius said with great interest, "I heard that you are very popular with girls."

"But it definitely won't be the type that Linglong will take a fancy to." Stark tapped the hard lump on his chest, "You know how this came from Sirius, before I installed it, I was a villain, Maybe now, but at least I'm going to try to make myself less hateful."

"James said that too." Sirius smiled and said, "Before he planned to propose to Lily, he told me very nervously that he couldn't believe what it would be like if Lily refused his marriage proposal, sorry , I'm not comparing you with him, I'm just..."

"I'm glad I can remind you of your friend, it's okay, I'd be happy to take your friend's place, but it's hard for me to be as easy to get along with as him." Stark said.

"You said James was easy to get along with?" Sirius laughed, "No, Anthony, you don't understand, James is much more hateful than you."

While the two were chatting, Ma Linglong walked over. She didn't realize that their conversation was related to her. Stark naturally bypassed the topic that might cause embarrassment.

"A new guest has arrived." Ma Linglong said.

"You invited someone else?" Stark said, "You didn't tell me, it couldn't be Santa Claus?"

"Who's Santa Claus?" asked Sirius.

"Your principal with the white beard."

"It's not Professor Dumbledore." Ma Linglong said, "It's an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D."

The author has something to say: Everyone can guess whether Linglong knows that Agou has ever liked her, and whether Linglong has ever liked Agou before~

This chapter mainly reveals some past experiences of the heroine, how she was disappointed in her college, and how she got along with Lucius.Although there is a sentence mentioned here, in fact, once campus bullying takes shape, it is terrible.There are a lot of parent-generation stories that can be written, but because it does not affect the plot, the author cut a lot.

[Water of Life and Death]: A kind of potion, drinking it will make people fall asleep
