The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

"I guess there won't be a party to welcome Iron Man or Anthony Stark." Stark took a sip of the butterbeer, which was originally ice, and after a few hours in the snow it became cooler, like It was on ice, and it tasted good, so Stark took several sips in a row, "Given some terrible and unfortunate things happened at Hogwarts, I don't think anyone cares about Stark, a Muggle icon again. Show up at school."

"Shut up." Ma Linglong said, she was trying to reduce the swelling on Stark's forehead, she wrapped the snow ball on the ground into a corner of the wizard's robe, and used that as a temporary ice pack.

Stark's forehead was swollen with a big lump, which was smashed out by Ma Linglong with a wine bottle. In addition, his shoulder also hurt a little, but the skin was not broken.The big bump was swollen badly, but Stark, who had a bump on his head, didn't seem to mind. He slid his fingers up and down Ma Linglong's waist restlessly, pinching the flesh under the girl's clothes from time to time.

Even though he keeps his mouth shut for 1 minute, Stark is more annoying than when he talks.

Ma Linglong pressed the ice pack on his lump: "I'll say it again..."

"I've already shut up." Stark said, and he blew into Ma Linglong's eyes, "Or, you actually want to hear something from me, but pretend you don't want to listen, I remember it all, You've been obsessed with my voice since the beginning, I... oh!"

Ma Linglong increased the strength in her hands a little.

"It really hurts, you made this up, do you still want my life?" Stark took the girl's hand and peeled off the snow ball from her clothes, "Enough, my My head is almost frozen into a popsicle, now, let's talk about serious business."

"Before we talk about serious things, I want to tell you." Ma Linglong's tone was as cold as ever, but she carefully wiped the water on Stark's forehead with her hands, "Please always remember that you are a Muggle, and you must never You can play pranks in front of wizards, and in such a gloomy place, you should be glad I didn't bring a wand, or you would have been injured."

Stark couldn't help laughing, he grabbed Ma Linglong's finger and bit it gently in his mouth: "You know." He said, Stark kissed those cold and white palms over and over again, " For things like depression, the person involved sometimes ignores it, and even thinks that it may be just a psychological effect to cause depression." He put the girl's hand on his neck to warm Ma Linglong, "I am here Having experience with it, I know it's not just psychological. Depression is a very troublesome mental illness."

"So you want to express, am I crazy?" Ma Linglong said.

"PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, you know what that is, I guess there's no such thing in the wizarding world, it means..."

"Yes, I know." Ma Linglong said.

"What, you know?" Stark said dubiously, "Then tell me?"

"Witnessing or encountering the death of others, as well as the mental damage caused by the threat of death." Ma Linglong explained the symptoms of "PTSD" ruthlessly like a textbook, "So, Stark, you want to tell Me what."

"Uh, the explanation is accurate." Stark said, scratching the top of his head with two fingers and said, "So, let's get back to the topic, Sirius has already told me about what happened to your student. There is no doubt that he alone Handsome boy, I am deeply sorry for this, and I would be very sad if it were me." Stark stared at Ma Linglong closely, observing the girl's expression, but everything was in vain, Ma Linglong His facial muscles were always tense, "But, you know, it's not your fault, it's not anyone's fault, well, it should be Voldemort's fault, it seems to be called that." He paused, "Except In addition, no one can predict what the conspirators are planning, Sadler is indeed unfortunate, but it is not your fault."

Ma Linglong frowned: "I guess you mean to say, Cedric?"

"Yes, that's the name, didn't I just say that? Never mind, don't interrupt, I'm enlightening you, you should listen attentively." Stark adjusted his sitting posture uncomfortably, his buttocks There seemed to be a bulge in the middle of the groin, and he touched it. It was a tree vine. "Where are we talking? Oh, Cedric. I know what he means to you. He is your favorite student." , handsome, smart and humble, and a heartthrob. But it's all ruined, I know, he got his young life taken by a bad wizard, and you want to avenge him. Of course you should, but surely not With this method."

"Which?"

"Of course it's alcoholism, don't think you can hide it from me, what I said just now, I said I am very experienced." Stark slowed down his speech, "I know the feeling of breaking down, baby, trust me, I know better than you how terrible helplessness can be. You try to numb yourself with alcohol, no use, and I know that when you wake up, it's business as usual, even with the goddamn hangover headache and dizziness."

Ma Linglong stared at Stark's amber eyes, his own shadow was in his pupils, the picture was very interesting, Ma Linglong stared at himself in his eyes in a daze.

"I couldn't fall asleep, I mean, I couldn't sleep on the bed." Stark didn't know what Ma Linglong was thinking, he said to himself, "I tried to make myself extremely tired, I drank , drank a lot of alcohol so that I could fall back to sleep. But the nightmare followed me, and it made me wake up quickly even if I fell asleep, so I used coffee and various refreshing drinks to keep me awake at all times. He stared into Ma Linglong's eyes, as if he would fall into the black pool in the next second, "I hid in the studio, made armor, upgraded the system, and was so busy that the nightmare couldn't catch up with me, and it also made me faster and faster." It got weaker and weaker until I realized that pretending to be busy wasn't going to make me feel better."

"I'm sorry." Ma Linglong said guiltily, "I should have been by your side at that time." She wished she could have half of Stark's eloquence, so that when he needed, Ma Linglong could say something casually will make him happy.

"It's okay." Stark replied subconsciously. He did have a long period of depression after the New York War, and he tried his best to act as if it was normal.Wait, Stark suddenly remembered what he was here for, "No, it's all over, I'm fine, I'm not depressed. The one with depression is you, right now, do you understand, Linglong, I Totally understand how you feel because I've had it too and I know it's not good. But worse than depression is drinking too much alcohol and coffee, I've been to your office and it smells like those drinks .”

Stark shook the wine bottle in his hand: "How much do you drink, wine and coffee, that will make you fat, baby, aren't you afraid of being fat?"

Ma Linglong thought that Stark might have tried his best, and he was trying to comfort him in his own way, he did a good job, Ma Linglong felt very happy, Stark's voice always sounded so Wonderful and sexy.

But he probably misunderstood something, or rather, Sirius misunderstood something, or maybe everyone misunderstood.

Ma Linglong wasn't sure exactly how Stark got into her office, she remembered she had put up a barrier outside the door, maybe it was Sirius, or maybe it was the twins, since they both knew the password to get in.

She was indeed drinking, and she did drink a lot, which is easy to understand. Ma Linglong was hit, and she needed to vent, and she needed to do something that was not in line with her usual behavior. She was not a hard-hearted robot, She has feelings, and she's emotional.But, to be honest, Ma Linglong didn't think she was drinking too much. If so, she wouldn't be able to attend class on time, let alone perform well in class. She just drank a little more than usual.

And she is not as serious as insomnia, she just doesn't sleep enough, Ma Linglong is doing an experiment, the real experiment, not what Stark said, in order to make herself appear busy, she deliberately locks herself up so that no one The kind of hustle that's close by.

She wanted to find out what formula could actually make a compound soup that smelled of alcohol. This was definitely a technological breakthrough. Barty Crouch Jr. could make it, so she had no reason not to.Ma Linglong tried to add all kinds of weird spirits into the crucible, so that the whole room was filled with the smell of alcohol that could not go away for a long time.

As for coffee, she had always had the habit of drinking coffee when she was doing research, and she remembered that Stark knew about it.It just so happened that the boss of the Duke of Bees House gave her a pack of coffee beans with a new flavor, and the boss would give her something new every year, which is no surprise.

It's just that the taste and effect are really stimulating enough, Ma Linglong only took a sip and she was invigorated for the whole night.

If anything, it was the only thing that caused her insomnia.

"Let's go." Ma Linglong stood up, and she said, "We have to go to the school hospital. I hope Madam Pomfrey is not asleep at this time. She has special medicine for treating lumps."

"Wait a minute!" Stark pulled Ma Linglong into his arms with a little force. He hugged her tightly and sat on his knees. Although it hurt his butt, at least Ma Linglong was away from her. He got closer.

"I can't wait, maybe it's too late to go now, I don't have a magic wand, I can't give you the swelling in time, you don't want to spend the night with a bag on your forehead, do you?"

"Linglong, look at me, don't worry about that damn lump." Stark said tremblingly, as if he was about to cry, "You worry me a lot, I really worry about you, why do you If you don't come back to me, I've been waiting for you to come back. You didn't bring any communication tools, and you didn't even leave me an owl. I don't know what I can do. Once you return to the wizarding world, there is nothing I can do. "

"I was negligent." Ma Linglong said apologetically, "I originally planned to go back on the weekend. I don't think Black must have told you that the seventh grade students are preparing for the advanced wizard exam. I can't say goodbye at this time because of personal feelings. Just go, I am probably the most willful teacher at Hogwarts, but the end of the semester is the most critical, there are many students who need my help."

"Yes, yes, I know what you said, but... God, I am your fiance, dear, you are not alone, you have me, when you are sad, you should jump on my chest Crying in your arms, instead of continuing to work as if nothing happened. I don’t support your work, you know I definitely don’t mean that.” The corners of Stark’s mouth fell, including his The mood also dropped to a freezing point, "It's much better to cry, really, I tried, I mean, I cried. Of course, I will never cry in your arms, but you are a girl, right?" , girls have the right to cry in front of boys."

"You want to see me cry?"

"No!" Stark strongly denied, "I don't want you to cry at all, just seeing you cry is enough to make my heart hurt." When he thought of Ma Linglong's sad appearance, his heart was already pierced like a knife , "But crying helps relieve stress, and medical experts say so."

"But I can't cry at all now."

"why?"

"Because you're by my side."

"It's a trap, isn't it?" Stark said nonchalantly, "You want to impress me, and then I can't talk to you about your depression and PTSD, and you're almost there I swear. "

Ma Linglong sighed, she rarely sighed, at least not in front of Stark: "There is no depression and PTSD."

"Don't try to fool me, you know I'm so experienced in this field that it's like I'm certified in psychology." Stark looked proud as if he really had the certificate he was talking about.

"You actually doubt me?"

"You're suspicious." Stark picked up an empty bottle, "You're going to get drunk to death in this kind of place, aren't you? On a cold winter night, alone, with a dozen bottles of wine, you want to use this kind of masochistic Punish yourself in such a way that you..."

Ma Linglong blocked Stark's mouth with his tongue, and it was hard for the man to resist the long-lost kiss, so he had to temporarily stop chattering and finish the kiss together with Ma Linglong.

"You're right." Ma Linglong said, "I'm really sad. Someone died, and this person is my student. He is not only my student, but also a student I like. Shouldn't I be sad? " She looked at him, "I did drink a lot, but I definitely didn't drink too much, and I don't plan to get drunk in a place like this, unless I'm crazy." Ma Linglong kicked an empty glass bottle next to her feet , "I hope you can tell the difference between sake and alcoholic beverages. You have finished at least one bottle here. Also, I don't suffer from insomnia so badly because of Cedric."

Stark still looked skeptical.

"I don't want to cry because I have cried, not that kind of crying, I can't be depressed about this all day long, of course, it's my fault that I didn't come back soon, I don't want you to see my depressed side , like when you cried, didn't you let me see it?"

"Correct." Stark said, "I didn't cry."

"You cried, you said it yourself because of your depression and PTSD."

"That's what I said to comfort you."

"So you lied to me?"

"Hey, I just said it was a trap!"

Ma Linglong laughed, showing a sincerely happy smile without any bitterness: "Thank you for coming, I'm glad you think of me all the time, but I'm really not as serious as you said, I just It takes a little time to digest some things that I can't figure out." She said to Stark, "I can guarantee that next time I will try to cry on your chest."

"I don't want that to happen," Stark said lightly.

Ma Linglong said: "But I still hope you don't show up in a sneaky way. The magic world is no longer safe, and what you did is very dangerous." But Sirius didn't personally send Stark to the destination, Ma Linglong planned to have Opportunity to discuss with him, what makes him so bold.

Stark blinked at his eyes: "I know, that Voldemort or something, who the hell is he?"

"You can regard him as the most dangerous and perverted terrorist in the world." Ma Linglong said, "The dark age of the magic world is coming, next semester you'd better not..."

"What's that?" Stark stared straight ahead vigilantly, "I don't mean to interrupt you, but isn't that thing Voldemort?"

Ma Linglong followed Stark's line of sight and looked in the direction he pointed.

A white horse with horns stood in the middle of the bushes. It was slender and had white to shiny hair: "It's a unicorn." Ma Linglong said pleasantly. She got off Stark and stared at the beautiful horse. Fantastic Beasts, "I've never seen it this close."

"God, I thought that animal only existed in fairy tales to trick children."

"Of course not." Ma Linglong was a little fascinated by the creature in front of him, and the distance between them was only five yards at most, "Don't move, Stark, you will scare it away."

Ma Linglong stood up slowly, carefully avoiding the wine bottle under her feet: "Muggles thought they were legendary animals, you are lucky, as a Muggle, you have witnessed the reality of unicorns." Ma Linglong Long didn't know why this unicorn dared to look at them from such a close distance, she wasn't sure if it was just the one she saw while drinking.

Stark was also clearly attracted by its good looks: "I guess only elves can ride it?"

"Nothing can ride them." Ma Linglong said, "Unicorns don't let anyone ride them, and they don't like to be near humans."

Stark took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the unicorn. The sound of clicking disturbed it, and the unicorn took a few steps back into the depths of the jungle, but did not leave.

Ma Linglong gave Stark a reproachful look.

"Sorry." Stark said, "Let's follow up and take a look."

"No, the deep forest is very dangerous, we will get lost." Ma Linglong said.

"I won't get lost." Stark said, "Believe me, I'm fully prepared here." He showed the positioning watch to Ma Linglong, "This thing will not be disturbed by any magnetic field." Stark proudly Say, "You know, I was almost a wizard."

Ma Linglong didn't ask how he infused magic into electronic products, Stark always had his way, maybe Strange helped a little.Ma Linglong can't take care of these things now, she admires Newt Scamander because of her love for magical creatures, but because of the dragon, Ma Linglong can't really get close to them.

The unicorn was very cautious. Ma Linglong and Stark took a step closer to it, and it backed up a few steps. Obviously it liked Ma Linglong more, and the reason why the unicorn didn't run away was probably because of Ma Linglong's relation.

"Stay here and don't move." Ma Linglong said to Stark, "Unicorns don't like wizards, they prefer witches to touch them."

"I don't know why unicorns are also playboys." Stark stood still and muttered, "Then you better not go forward, in case it wants to do something to you, after all, you are so beautiful."

"Stay here." Ma Linglong said, "If I'm lucky, maybe I can get a unicorn hair."

"Is my fur not up to standard?" Stark said dissatisfiedly, "I think that after I become a cat, those furs will be equally good-looking, and they happen to be white too, if you avoid the black part." Stark's feet crawled There were a few spiders, they were about the size of his fist, but Stark didn't care, even unicorns existed, and the bigger spiders were nothing.

Ma Linglong put his finger on his lips, Stark shrugged, and quickly shut up, he didn't have to get angry about a beautiful little white horse.

It took Ma Linglong a long time to touch the unicorn's fur. It felt extremely soft and warm, and the silver light around her was like the moon in the night sky.It was only then that Ma Linglong noticed that its fur was not entirely silvery white, it was a little golden, which indicated that the unicorn in front of it was underage.

Ma Linglong gently took a slender fluff from the unicorn's body, before she could thank the magical creature, the unicorn jumped away as if frightened.

"It has nothing to do with me." Stark said, "I didn't do anything, I didn't even move."

Something flashed past Ma Linglong's left and right sides, Ma Linglong put the unicorn hair into the pocket of the wizard robe, and instinctively reminded her that the danger was approaching: "Stark squat!" She suddenly cried loudly. With a roar, Ma Linglong raised his arms and knocked the big black thing above Stark's head to the ground.

Ma Linglong suddenly felt a stabbing pain on the back of her hand, and a palm-sized black spider jumped onto her hand at some point and bit her skin.Regardless of her injuries, Ma Linglong threw away the spider and ran towards Stark: "Hurry up." She said to Stark, "We are too far away from a safe place."

"God, what is this? It looks like a spider." Stark glanced at the creature the size of a sports car tire that was just thrown aside by Ma Linglong. It's not pretty at all.

"It's a spider."

The rustling sound was particularly ear-piercing in the quiet depths of the dense forest. Ma Linglong looked around, and she saw more spiders, bigger than tires, rapidly gathering towards them.

These cunning fellows were all hung on branches beforehand.

"Run!" Ma Linglong pulled Stark towards another direction she was not very familiar with. She could only choose there. The way she came was blocked by a wall of spiders. The way out is blocked.

Ma Linglong finally understood what it meant to lose Shenlong, which meant that she was no longer afraid of animals, which was a part she had completely ignored.Ma Linglong often comes to the Forbidden Forest. She has been to many unknown and dangerous places in the Forbidden Forest, but she has never been attacked, and she has never had the chance to meet even the most common animals.

But today is different, she has lost the protection of the dragon, since friendly animals have a good impression of her, so malicious ones will not be polite to her.

Stark put on the gauntlet, he activated the pulse mechanism, and shot down several big spiders in a row.

Ma Linglong couldn't care less about being surprised, she was very happy and even grateful to Stark for inventing a weapon that could also work in the wizarding world, for a wizard without a wand, she simply needed Stark so much.

"Go away, we don't taste good at all!" Stark yelled at the spider. "Can't you apparate, I'd love to feel the thrill of a squeezed heart."

"The school cannot use revealing spells." Ma Linglong felt dizzy for a while, and fell to her knees on the ground. She couldn't breathe well: "I was bitten just now, and I think I might have a bit of a poisoning reaction." That shouldn't be very strong If she had a wand or any antidote, she would be able to solve this problem, but she didn't, she didn't bring anything, "I've never been bitten by a spider before." Ma Linglong gasped.

"It's okay, it's okay, I will protect you." Stark carried Ma Linglong on his back, "There is a first time for everything, right? Maybe next time you will be bitten by a unicorn."

The speed of the eight-legged monster was very fast, and hundreds of spiders were pressing closer and closer to the two of them. Stark could hear the rattling sound of the monster's pincers rubbing against each other.

A tall, dark-brown horse suddenly rushed into the crowd of spiders. His front and rear legs were very powerful, and he kicked many spiders away.

"Come on." The horse stopped in front of Stark, "Hurry up, if you don't want to become fodder."

Stark couldn't believe the creature he saw. The horse had a human's upper body, but its lower body still looked like a horse. The connection between the two was like the effect of two adults working together in a circus.

The author has something to say:

Well, everyone should be able to guess what that is, right?
