The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Trelawney's hair is disheveled. Today she is wearing a bohemian-style knit gown with pudding all over the hem. She stops and looks all the way, looking around and sneaking against the wall as if looking for something.

After Umbridge stepped down, Trelawney returned to his job, but he no longer taught students, but continued to stay at Hogwarts to study her divination as a teaching consultant, although except Apart from Dumbledore, it is estimated that no one will ask her about the prophecy.In this regard, Trelawney is somewhat lost, she has been longing to find a student who can fully understand her.

Dumbledore is full of sympathy for Trelawney. He may be the only wizard in the school who believes everything Trelawney said. It can also be said that only Dumbledore can understand the true meaning of Trelawney's prophecy, even if Sometimes her predictions are not so accurate.

Everyone thought that she had no ability at all, and she couldn't use a wand well. Trelawney was even suspected by Umbridge of being a squib.She herself is in great pain. She knows that the prophecy is true, but no one believes it, especially when she predicts disasters for others but cannot stop them.

She can only watch the disaster happen as expected, which may be the most painful thing as a prophet.

The divination class is still held by the centaur Firenze, and the children (especially girls) like him very much, and they scramble to take his class.Conversely, Firenze also likes children and education. It is difficult for him to return to the Forbidden Forest. Staying in Hogwarts is his must choice.

"Oh, Professor Lillian!" Trelawney hunched over, looking around, "Did you see anyone passing by here?"

"No." Ma Linglong responded calmly. She cast an invisibility spell on Steve, "Why didn't you go home?"

"Did I say that Hogwarts is my home?" Trelawney walked around Ma Linglong. She didn't see Steve, but she had a strong feeling that there was a second place here. two people.

"Aren't you going back during the summer vacation?"

"Will be away for a while." Trelawney said, "You know that Hogwarts does not allow students and teachers to stay in the school during the summer vacation, do you really see no one else, I can swear he is a man, he should not belong to here."

Steve found that the other party really didn't see himself, and he thought of magic.

"You mean, Voldemort is back?" Ma Linglong asked confusedly.

"It's not him, it's not him!" Trelawney trembled, and she walked up and down irritably, "It's much better than You-Know-Who, he's right here, he should be around here, I swear."

"Sorry, I didn't see it." Ma Linglong said again, "By the way, I'm going to the principal's office. Do you want to come with me, Professor Trelawney?" Ma Linglong was about to take Steve away.

If it wasn't for Trelawney's extremely unstable mana, she might have already determined where Steve was standing, and it would be impossible to hide the truth from the prophet.

"I'm glad you still call me Professor," said Trelawney gratefully.

Of course Trelawney would not make a fuss about Steve's appearance, she does not reject Muggles, she was born of mixed blood, but Trelawney is not a person who can keep secrets, she has a sense of justice, but she has Sometimes she can't control her mouth, and when her consciousness appears chaotic, it's easy to reveal a lot of secrets.

The appearance of Muggles at Hogwarts is a serious violation of the regulations. The matter of Stark has been suppressed by Dumbledore. Since there is no evidence to prove that Muggles really came, the Ministry of Magic can only give up the investigation.

"Do you want to come with me?" Ma Linglong snapped her fingers, and she drew the attention of the trance prophet.

"No, thank you, honey." Trelawney refused, "Wait a minute, can you see that the crystal ball is changing?" She handed the glass ball in front of Ma Linglong, "Look Their texture, you know what it's trying to tell us."

"Divination is your strong point, not mine." Ma Linglong can only use tea and coffee to calculate other people's past life experience, she can't predict the future, "I don't understand."

"A man," she said, lowering her voice with a nervous expression.

Steve tensed, thinking he was being seen.

"Then?" Ma Linglong asked, she was sure that Trelawney must not see Steve.

"Three men." She suddenly said in annoyance, "Yes, three."

"What do you want to say?" Ma Linglong asked vigilantly, "Is your prophecy related to me?"

"No honey, it has nothing to do with you at all." Trelawney said, she looked around in confusion, as if she didn't understand why the prophecy had nothing to do with Ma Linglong, but she had to stand here to see clearly She couldn't stop the content of the prophecy, she must say it, "Three men, one of them is a murderer, they broke up and fought, and an empire was destroyed."

Ma Linglong swallowed her saliva, she knew that Trelawney's prophecy had something to do with Steve beside her, so she resisted the urge to look up at him: "If there is nothing else, I'll go first."

Trelawney grabbed her arm suddenly: "Is there someone else here?" She looked very nervous, as if she had seen a ghost.

Ma Linglong tapped on the oil painting next to her firmly. Inside the frame was an old man drinking tea: "If you mean him."

Trelawney kept shaking her head in disappointment. She strode past Ma Linglong to the other end of the corridor, muttering, "There must be someone".She seemed to realize something suddenly, and suddenly turned around: "Professor Lillian, why are you still in school?"

"Because..." Ma Linglong thought for a while, "Because I have something very important to tell Professor Dumbledore."

Trelawney nodded and walked away thoughtfully.

"I think she might have found me." Steve was sure that Trelawney would not look back, he had no sense of the "three men" prophecy.

"Let's go." Ma Linglong said, she seemed to understand what Trelawney wanted to express, three men, one of them was a murderer, this has always been Ma Linglong's worry, Bucky is the Stark couple The reason for his death is that he is the murderer, and the other two men must be Stark and Steve, and their relationship may break down in the future because they know the truth.

But what does it mean for an empire to fall with it?

Does it mean that the United States will encounter unfortunate disasters?

"What's the matter with you?" Steve keenly saw Ma Linglong's strangeness, "Is it what the lady said just now that made you feel wrong?"

"Don't be so sensitive." Ma Linglong replied nonchalantly.

Steve is the second Muggle to enter Hogwarts, the first of course is Stark, unlike Stark, he is polite to everything around him, and everything that moves The husbands are shown in awe (mostly the oil-painted figures on the walls).He didn't always poke them with his fingers the first time like Stark did, he preferred to admire them from a distance, and occasionally showing curiosity was also out of etiquette.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Rogers." Dumbledore reached out to shake his hand, "It's really enviable." He said suddenly, "If I still look young at your age, I think magic is probably right for you." I don't matter anymore. Look at your muscles, I think some students are going to figure out how they grow in humans."

Steve wasn't offended, and the old man's attitude made it easy for him to accept the other's kind joke: "The kids are great, I hope they won't be disappointed because I'm a Muggle."

"You are too humble, Mister Rogers." Dumbledore poured a hot cup of coffee for Steve himself. "Once they know you are 95 years old, I guess the children will be more proud to know you than they are now."

Steve showed a surprised expression, and he looked at Ma Linglong.

"It has nothing to do with me." Ma Linglong walked to Fox (Phoenix) on his own, the fiery red magical animal let out a slight cry, Ma Linglong stroked Fox's warm head, "You can put Dumbledore The professor is like a prophet or something, oh, by the way, the Santa Claus that Stark talks about is also him."

Stark has received gifts from the old man every Christmas since he met Dumbledore.

At first, Steve was a little uncomfortable, unsure of what an appropriate attitude to have in the face of the wise old wizard.Dumbledore obviously saw Steve's concerns, and he subtly brought the topic back to World War II, the era that belonged to Captain America.

Steve gradually relaxed. He was surprised to find that Dumbledore was very familiar with the Second World War. They talked about the horror and helplessness of war, as well as the desire of human nature and so on.

The two leaders with different identities in different periods have a lot in common in most concepts.

"I think I should have heard your name." Dumbledore said suddenly, "I guess you must have known a man named Newt Scamander 70 years ago."

These words attracted Ma Linglong's attention.

Steve hesitated for a few seconds. "Yes," he said, "but I promised him not to tell anyone about seeing him."

"Have you met Scamander?" Ma Linglong couldn't believe it, "How could you...then you know who he is?"

"It's a wizard, I know." Steve said, "I think I shouldn't break my promise, you are all wizards, he just wants me not to tell Muggles, I just found out, Mr. Scamander is also here student, I noticed that his scarf was exactly the same as several of the kids' scarves."

"What an exciting coincidence." Dumbledore said, and he looked at Ma Linglong, "It's easy to understand, son, Newt has been among Muggles all year round, he has experienced the First World War of Muggles, Of course we can't miss the second time."

"Tell me." Ma Linglong was very interested, "What was he doing when you saw him?"

"He was healing with a wand," Steve said. "Of course, I didn't know what a wand was at the time."

At that time, Steve and his team were on the battlefield in Germany. They sacrificed a lot of soldiers to defeat the enemy and hold the last retreat.In the ruins of the war, Steve found a man carrying a small suitcase. He spoke plausibly and said something to a German soldier. Steve watched helplessly as the man healed the German's leg injury. .

He is Newt Scamander, with a Hufflepuff scarf around his neck,

He is captured by members of the Howling Commandos, who assume Newt is an evil German scientist.

Newt was very nervous, his wand was confiscated before he could Apparate, and he had to explain in a standard English accent that he was indeed passing by (actually he was catching an animal that had escaped to the Muggle world), He saved the Germans not because he supported Hitler, he just couldn't bear to watch a young life die at his feet.

Later, Steve learns that he is a wizard, although his conception of this identity exists only in fairy tales, but Newt helps the Howling Commando escape the German army's sneak attack, using some seemingly inexplicable tricks.

Newt left without using the Oblivion Curse on them. In the war years, everyone probably didn't care about eradicating wizards, but he still hoped that Steve would keep the secret.

At that time, Newt was already married to Tina, he was middle-aged, and he still behaved modestly.When he visited Dumbledore, he talked to him about the deeds of Captain America. He believed that after a few decades, wizards would no longer be the only group with supernatural powers.

Obviously he was right.

A long time later, when Steve heard the word "wizard" again, he was not overly shocked or suspicious, which can also explain why he was able to accept Ma Linglong's status as a wizard in the first place, because he had long ago seen.

Steve shared his combat experience with Dumbledore. He told Dumbledore his training plan. The two were like old friends who met each other very late. Ma Linglong was almost transparent next to her. She almost finished eating Three-quarters of the snacks in the entire principal's office.

"Well, although I'd love to chat with you, Steve." Dumbledore said, "but I don't think I have prepared enough snacks for Linglong."

Steve stood up immediately: "Sorry, I must have delayed you a lot of time?"

"No, definitely not like that." Dumbledore also got up, and he said happily, "I'd be happy to chat with you." He looked at Ma Linglong, Dumbledore wanted to save some time for his favorite student to talk Chance, "I'd be very grateful for your promise to be the children's trainer. Actually, that's not my army, but the wizarding world needs an army. It's a pity that the government never cared about it. They think Aurors are enough. But I know it's not enough."

Even without Steve's training, Harry and the others would still organize themselves. Since they would rather take risks, Dumbledore must do something to reduce the risk.

Steve left the principal's office. Ma Linglong asked him to wait outside for a while. He stood alone in an empty corner. The surrounding layout looked like an uninhabited haunted house. No matter what he encountered, he would move inexplicably , or made some strange noises, including that the monster stone statue behind him seemed to have patted his shoulder with its tail just now.The sudden sound of the oil painting on the wall adds to the horror atmosphere. It sounds like a ghost muttering, and Steve remembers that there are real ghosts in the school.

"You're not a wizard." A female voice suddenly came from behind Steve.

He subconsciously made a defensive movement, Steve turned around and saw a gray shadow floating in the air.

He was thinking of something just now, a ghost, a real ghost.

"How do you know I'm not, ma'am?"

The female ghost landed slowly. She was dressed like a medieval girl, with a floor-length skirt and beautiful curly hair: "You are a Muggle, but you are not afraid of me?"

"I've seen scarier ghosts than you," Steve said politely.

"Helena (Ravenclaw)." The female ghost said, "You can call me that."【Note 1】

Steve looked at her suspiciously: "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Dumbledore remixed a glass of steaming sparkling beer for Ma Linglong, in which there were many colorful crystals like sugar grains sinking under the liquid, and they could only be eaten after drinking the beer: "I have to thank you. Dumbledore took the lead, "If it weren't for you, I don't think the result would be like this. I mean, the war in the Department of Mysteries."

Ma Linglong looked at him suspiciously: "Do you want to ask me for help?"

Dumbledore couldn't help shaking his beard: "It turns out that I left such a bad impression on you. It's really unexpected. I think I should reflect on what I should do so that I won't let you have such a bad impression when I praise you." misunderstanding."

"It seems that you are really thanking me." Ma Linglong said, "Don't worry, I wasn't the only one there at that time."

"No," said Dumbledore, "Sirius should have died there."

Ma Linglong froze for a moment.

"Firenze made a divination, but I only learned about it from him after I came back." Dumbledore said calmly, "Your appearance broke the prophecy, do you know what it means?"

Ma Linglong thought for a while: "Is the prophecy unreliable?"

Dumbledore smiled gently: "Of course not, child, a prophecy can be destroyed, no matter how powerful it is. It is more likely that you have this destructive ability. Come to think of it, you can even destroy your own destiny." Everything can be rewritten, what else can’t be done?”

Ma Linglong's thoughts were a little off the scene, and she suddenly thought of what Trelawney said just now.

"Sybil's prophecy was actually fruitless." Dumbledore said.

For a moment, Ma Linglong thought he was talking about the "three men".

"Harry, and Tom." Dumbledore said sadly, "One of them must die to end the war, but Tom always thought that the prophecy clearly pointed out who was the loser."

"So he wants to get the prophecy ball?"

"Yes, he is afraid of death." Dumbledore said, "Do you know what Tom saw after seeing 'Boggart'?"

"His father?" Ma Linglong said, Voldemort hated the old Riddle the most.

"Hisself." Dumbledore paused, "To be exact, it was his own corpse, and the Boggart fell to the ground in the shape of Tom with his eyes open, like Avada Kedavra. He said with certainty, "Those who are afraid of death will eventually fail."【Note 2】

"You want me to stay at school to protect Potter and break the prophecy for him?"

"I know you would have done it if I hadn't asked for it," said Dumbledore slowly. "What I want to tell you is that Voldemort already knows that you have lost the dragon, and you have lost the curse on him."

a week later -

The Muggle world has become turbulent, and news of inexplicable injuries to people is always reported on TV from time to time. Two days ago, the Golden Gate Bridge was destroyed, and the reinforced concrete split in an instant.At that time, it was the peak period of traffic flow, and there were many casualties among civilians. When the Stark Industries rescue team arrived at the scene, more than 100 bodies had been salvaged from the river. There were also two school buses with middle school students inside. survivor.

The government is pointing the finger at Magneto, after all he did something similar to the Golden Gate Bridge.

In fact, only wizards living in the Muggle world knew that it was not Magneto, but Death Eaters, and they left the mark of the Dark Lord on the spot, but Muggles couldn't see it.

"It's so crazy!" Barton stared at the disaster scene on the tablet and roared, "Back then Magneto didn't push the school bus into the river!"

"There are even more extreme things." Natasha said, "I heard that the British Prime Minister almost stamped the report on the attack on the United States. Fortunately, someone stopped him. Obviously his brain was controlled."

"The Imperius Curse," Steve said, "That's a terrible curse."

"What did the students do to you?" Barton asked, already considering whether to continue sending his daughter to school next semester.

"That's illegal," Steve said. "They just told me there was a spell."

Ma Linglong picked up a wine glass, and she knocked on the bar table with the bottom of the glass: "Magneto seems to be very angry about this matter, he seems to be planning to repair the Golden Gate Bridge, and then destroy it again to express his anger."

The Avengers turned back.

"Linglong, you're back?" Barton blinked at her, which meant that he had something to say to her, privately.

Ma Linglong went to the Xavier Gifted Youth School, where she met the legendary Magneto. At that time, Ma Linglong knew that Magneto had stopped doing extreme things to humans. He is now the school's His teacher is quite popular, and that kid who runs fast is actually the son of Magneto.

Ma Linglong poured himself a glass of whiskey: "You may receive mission orders at any time to stop Magneto from wreaking havoc. Of course, Professor X is dealing with his bad mood."

The author has something to say:

[Note 1]: Helena knows the location of a Horcrux

[Note 2]: Aunt Rowling said in an interview that Lao Fu should see his own body when he met a Boggart, because what he fears most is death, otherwise he wouldn't have seven horcruxes.
