The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Draco hadn't gone to Ma Linglong's history class for a week in a row. He asked for leave with all kinds of lame reasons, and in the end he didn't even bother to make up the reason for absenteeism.He deliberately avoided contact with Ma Linglong, even if he met on the road, Draco would turn around and change direction.

Ma Linglong is not surprised at Draco's abnormality at all, he doesn't like her himself, probably except his parents, Draco sees everyone as inferior to him, not to mention that he has a difficult task now The task is being prepared.

Voldemort asked Draco to kill Dumbledore this semester, and as Lucius said, it was clearly a punishment from Voldemort's torture of the loser.Everyone knows that it is very difficult for Voldemort himself to kill Dumbledore, and it is almost impossible for a 16-year-old student to cause harm to Dumbledore, let alone kill him.No matter what method he used, as long as Draco stood in front of the old man, all the lies would be exposed.

Voldemort didn't need to put Lucius on a semblance of trial to be punished, he just needed to use his son to make him repent.Not only Lucius, Narcissa also suffers from this. Her pampering and love for her son is obvious to all.

Lucius knew very well what Voldemort was thinking, and he probably didn't care whether Draco's operation was successful or not, which was originally an impossible task.He just used this to warn Lucius that he had no choice in his fate as a loser, and he didn't intend to forgive Lucius easily, even though Voldemort didn't even say a word of accusation to him on the surface.

And once Draco's action failed, Lucius didn't even dare to think about it.

The young man who doesn't know the truth may be excited at first, after all, he is also a supporter of pure blood supremacy, even a little lawless.In front of his classmates, Draco flaunted his pride and pride when he was entrusted by Voldemort as if he had finally found the organization, Draco was ready to do something big, he wanted to make himself famous in one fell swoop.

In fact, not every Slytherin student expressed envy or admiration for him joining the Death Eater camp, more felt that he was lying, and that Draco's ambition and desire made him look terrible , some classmates began to stay away from him.He no longer brought his two little followers in and out, and Draco was always alone recently, looking depressed like a lonely nobleman standing in a peerless world.

The fact is just like his thinning face, now Draco no longer has the lofty ambitions of the past, and he suddenly feels unprecedented fear.Draco hadn't killed anyone, and his parents didn't like violence, and despite his natural disdain for Muggles and Muggle-born wizards, even then he had no urge to kill them himself.

But now, Draco not only wanted to kill, but also the greatest wizard in the wizarding world, Dumbledore. Draco's body and mind were occupied by fear, and he hadn't slept for days and nights.

However, everything about him was under the control of Dumbledore. The old man had already learned the truth from Snape before Ma Linglong revealed to him about Draco's behavior. He was also very shocked at first. Bullido felt great sympathy and pity for what happened to Draco.

Every action of Draco could not escape Dumbledore's wise eyes, but he did not intend to make this matter public, and Dumbledore did not interrogate Draco.He knew that the young man was just out of help, and he hoped to give him a chance, and he hoped that Draco would rein in some time.

"I think we can lock him up first." Ma Linglong didn't think so, she had no confidence in Draco's repentance, she didn't have much sympathy for that boy, Ma Linglong had seen too many Draco at school period of bullying.

Draco, unlike his father, had been spoiled by his mother since he was a child, and he wouldn't listen to anyone's advice.Most importantly, he is not a person with a sense of justice, and he can even be regarded as selfish.

Ma Linglong promised to help Lucius, just to ensure that Draco would not be persecuted by Voldemort, but she didn't want to see Draco use despicable means to hurt Dumbledore.

Although it was a bit difficult, Ma Linglong never underestimated the enemy, and no one could guarantee that Draco would not have helpers. After all, Voldemort's desire for Dumbledore's death had always been very strong.

In view of the fact that Lucius' desire for profit in front of his son has been deeply ingrained in Draco's heart, as a father, he instilled his own idea of ​​power supremacy into Draco's brain in a strong way. From time to time, I wanted to come up with something that would make my father proud of me.

Unfortunately, no matter what Draco did, he couldn't overshadow Harry Potter. Even if he was at the top of the list, he was good at Quidditch, and even his status was noble and unique.But everyone's eyes still only wanted to focus on Harry.His disdain gradually turned to envy, then to hatred.

"Well, a proposal worth considering." Dumbledore responded absent-mindedly. He noticed the dazzling diamond ring on Ma Linglong's finger at a glance. Miss Lillian, I was not the first to be notified of your wedding, or at least should have been the second, but I don't seem to have received any invitation letter. Did I miss an important announcement, or did you not send out an invitation at all? "

Dumbledore asked knowingly.

"Professor, we are discussing about Draco." Ma Linglong glanced at the diamond ring, and she turned the diamond to the inside, "Not only Draco, you clearly know, and even have evidence, more than half of the students in Slytherin His parents are Death Eaters, why are you still letting them go and pretending not to know?"

"I'm still more concerned that you didn't invite me to the wedding." Dumbledore said mildly, with a smile on his face, and he couldn't hear any accusations.

"I'll lock him up now." Ma Linglong said angrily.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about Draco's problem first." Dumbledore said softly, "Or the whole Slytherin problem." He paused, calmly, "If I publish the evidence It will indeed deal a blow to some parents and students. But the more trouble of doing so is that it will force some people who do not want to join, but are forced to join Voldemort only after being threatened. This is exactly what Voldemort is happy to see result."

Ma Linglong wanted to refute something, but finally waited for the old man to continue.

"As for Draco, he is indeed another more headache, and I agree with your proposal to lock him up until the end of this year. I guess the result will be like this, Draco takes all the grievances out on you, And Lucius wouldn't allow him to be abusive to you even the slightest bit, so Draco broke with his father because he thought Lucius was a coward and didn't even deserve to be his father. And then, you guessed it? Whatever happens, Voldemort will give him another more dangerous mission, and Draco must do his best to prove his ability."

"Of course, there is another version. Draco's mission failed, and the Malfoy family was completely disintegrated by Voldemort." Dumbledore asked kindly, "Which version of the ending do you want to see?"

Ma Linglong tried to speak, but she couldn't make a sound. To her, Dumbledore's speculation seemed to be reminding Ma Linglong that extreme methods of handling can only bring extreme consequences.

Although Dumbledore's expression was very gentle, without even a hint of accusation, Ma Linglong was unwilling to make eye contact with him anyway.Because Dumbledore was right, the original intention of Voldemort to ask Draco to carry out the assassination mission was to find a suitable opportunity to teach the Malfoy family a lesson, or he had long been dissatisfied with Lucius.

"So, this is an unsolvable contradiction?" Ma Linglong obviously still has a little affection for Lucius, or maybe more than a little.The girl also held many secrets of the Malfoy family, any of which could ruin their reputation, but Ma Linglong never used it once.

"I have a fairly comprehensive plan." Dumbledore said, "Unfortunately, I don't intend to involve you, after all, you didn't let me participate in your wedding."

"You'll be nagging me about this for the rest of your life." Ma Linglong said angrily, she didn't expect that the "life" in her mouth was not so long for Dumbledore, "No matter what plan you have, Professor , as long as you need me, please be sure to tell me, okay?"

"That's for sure, you see when I let you go." Dumbledore said happily, "In fact, I am very interested in your children, because they are likely to be the most intelligent people in history. Scary little wizard."

"It's also possible that it's nothing." Ma Linglong shrugged, she hadn't thought about it.

"We can wait and see." Dumbledore said suddenly, "Do you still remember the question I asked you last semester, would you like to be the headmaster?"

"Of course, why, plan to throw the responsibility on me now?"

Dumbledore laughed: "Think about it, it's good for you, you can try to have four children, let them occupy four colleges, and eventually you will rule the largest magic school in Europe, I believe the ghosts will Become your most reliable intelligence network, what else, yes, maybe your children can still occupy the Ministry of Magic."

Some portraits panicked and began to discuss whether non-British wizards are qualified to gain political power, as if this matter is about to happen in the next moment, and the answer is of course no, unless Ma Linglong’s child is born in England and becomes a British nationality, they reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief.

"These are minor issues." Dumbledore said to the portraits. "The Minister of Magic has an oriental face. Don't you think this is worth looking forward to, breaking tradition and abandoning identity."

"It's no fun at all, Albus!" said one of the portraits. "It won't be long before Chinese wizards will rule the entire English wizarding world. Do you know how many people they have!"

"Oh, it doesn't sound bad, my dear. They are hardworking and smart, and they are very rigorous in doing things. This will greatly help the changes in the wizarding world." Dumbledore said happily.

The portraits suddenly became commotion: "You are really crazy, crazy!"

"Calm down." Dumbledore said with a smile, "That's just a hypothesis, it didn't happen." Although it did sound like a joke, it was inevitable that there was some truth in what Dumbledore said. "By the way, Linglong, the password for the desk drawer is my sister's name, and there are very important things in the cabinets opposite."

Ma Linglong waved her hand: "Don't act like you're confessing your last words, professor, you still have hundreds of years to live. I remember Master (Tang Yin) gave you the secret to longevity."

"Maybe." Dumbledore touched his left hand unconsciously, and he covered his left hand with his sleeve robe, "Okay, Mrs. Stark, send my blessings to Anthony for me, and of course you, my child, I am very happy Glad you found such an attractive boy, your married life will never be boring. Well, I think I need a little time to prepare a special gift for your husband, after all, he always thinks of me as Santa Claus , you can go out."

Ma Linglong looked at him thoughtfully: "Are you okay, you really don't need me?"

"There is always a time when you are needed, but not now." Dumbledore said with a smile, "It's you, boy, Voldemort may find you and your friends, be careful."

"I can."

Ma Linglong is still the most popular teacher in the school. Although the diamond ring worn on the ring finger of her left hand broke the hearts of many boys, in fact, to be honest, she probably mainly hurt Sirius.

Because Sirius never thought that Ma Linglong and Stark's wedding would not be his own.

"Aren't we friends?" Sirius asked all the way from the Quidditch pitch to the teaching area. He was bound to get a satisfactory answer from Ma Linglong, although he couldn't be satisfied anyway, "When will we break off the relationship?" Yes, why didn’t I know?” The flash of the diamond was really dazzling, and Sirius said in an accusing tone, “You have to give me an explanation, you have to give me a convincing reason, otherwise I won’t let it go. your."

"Why, you still want to fight with me?" Ma Linglong had already explained it three times, but Sirius was bitter about his failure to become Stark's best man. He thought Ma Linglong's explanation was insincere, "Then see you at the training ground after class."

"Hey!" Sirius sulked, "You know I don't mean that!"

Ma Linglong stopped suddenly, he saw Draco sneaking out of the Potions classroom.

"You know how much I care about you, and you know how much I want to attend your wedding." Sirius said anxiously, "But you don't even let me go to the wedding venue."

Ma Linglong let out a little breath from her throat, which sounded like a sigh: "If you want a reason, I will give you a reason." She stared at Sirius seriously, "Do you think we should gather together under the current situation Is it? That will only become the target of someone with a heart. Without Shenlong, I can no longer contain Voldemort. I believe that guy wants to do something to my friends all the time. Before I know, or I think of these possible situations Now, if you still insist on gathering everyone around you, it will be irresponsible."

Sirius' eyebrows formed a character horoscope: "Sorry, don't be angry."

"But you can't ask me to give up marriage for Voldemort, right? He's not that capable yet," Ma Linglong said.

"Actually, you just need to invite me and Lupine." Sirius said seriously.

"Then it's not you who are circling around me now, but Fred and George who are asking me for a reason." Ma Linglong said.

"But I still feel..."

"This is my wedding, I'm alone, I can invite whoever I want." Ma Linglong said angrily, she pulled Sirius aside, "Okay, go to class, you're already late gone."

"Then can I see the photo of you in the wedding dress?" Sirius asked aggrievedly, "Is it always okay to look at the photo?"

"Okay." Ma Linglong said, "Come find me in the office after class. Besides, Brother Weasley's joke shop has opened. Do you want to come with me?"

"Of course!" said Sirius positively.

Draco seemed to be looking for something, he came to the corridor on the third floor of the teaching area, and groped along the wall.Ma Linglong was not far behind him, watching Draco turn the corner, she wanted to follow up to find out, but when she noticed something moving behind her, Ma Linglong turned around vigilantly, and pointed her wand at the man who was trying to approach her. people.

"Don't worry about it." Snape's voice was as low and emotionless as ever, he glanced at Ma Linglong's wand, which was all black, which didn't quite fit the girl's style, "Just pretend you don't know, you Shouldn't have known, I thought Dumbledore had already talked to you about it."

Ma Linglong put away her wand, she said indifferently: "Are you spying on me?"

"I just happened to see you." Snape said coldly, "Draco must complete his mission, which Voldemort gave him, and he knows the consequences of failure. Voldemort is very good at manipulating people, and he knows how to use it." Family affection is such a ridiculous thing to achieve the goal."

"So, you will help Draco kill Dumbledore?" Ma Linglong said uncertainly, "You should be on our side, right?"

"You can doubt me, but you can't shake my plan."

"what's the plan."

"Help Draco in his plan to kill Dumbledore."

Ma Linglong stared at him for a while: "I don't really understand what you mean." At this time, Ma Linglong didn't know that Snape's words were not a joke, but the truth, "What are you going to do?"

"I don't think I need to let you know the details." Snape smoothly got Draco out of Ma Linglong's sight.

Ma Linglong immediately said: "Then it is possible that I will unfortunately disrupt your plan, you probably don't want this to happen."

"Dumbledore didn't tell you, it means he doesn't want you to get involved, you should do your own thing." He glanced at Ma Linglong's ring, "For example, take a long vacation, honeymoon and so on." Snape said flatly, "Congratulations, you've finally married a Muggle, loss to the wizarding world," he said sarcastically.

"This is the plan of you and Professor Dumbledore?" Ma Linglong heard the clue, "You don't want me to stay at school this semester, why?"

"Because you may accidentally disrupt my plan." Snape added bluntly, "Is that clear enough for me and Dumbledore's plan?"

Snape calmly hid one arm under the wizard robe, he was not going to let Ma Linglong see the traces of magic left on it, he reached an unbreakable agreement with Narcissa a few days ago, the content was the same as that of Draco He must help Draco complete the task, if Draco fails.

"Is there any danger?" Ma Linglong asked.

"Thank you for your concern." Snape avoided the question, he couldn't answer her because he didn't want to deceive her, so he had to pretend that they were ordinary colleagues with a bad relationship, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first, you Knowing how busy I've been this term, like teaching Potter how to properly use those offensive spells he thought he knew."

Snape finally became a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher as he wished, but he didn't seem to be as excited as expected.

Ma Linglong condensed the petals of a lily flower into a black pearl in her hand: "Take this, don't ask what it can do, because I don't know what use it can bring you. The petals I plucked from Lily's grave, I know you put them on."

Snape hesitated.

Ma Linglong said: "Don't worry, you won't be discovered by Voldemort, and besides, you have ways to avoid being discovered, right?"

Snape glanced behind him and accepted the pearl after confirming that there was no suspicious person.

"One thing." Ma Linglong said, "Do you know what's wrong with Professor Dumbledore's left hand?"

Snape resisted the urge to tell her, but in the end, he just said flatly, "You should ask him."

"He didn't want me to ask." Ma Linglong said, "The professor tried hard to hide his left hand from me, but I could feel that that arm had abnormal magic, evil magic."

So, Snape lied: "You don't think Dumbledore is a wizard who can consolidate his position only by aboveboard means, do you think about our opponent, think about what he has done before."

Ma Linglong was misled by Snape. He made her think that Dumbledore was actually researching black magic capable of defeating Voldemort, so his left hand was contaminated with evil.

"At least one Slytherin," Snape said dryly.

"What?" Ma Linglong looked at him inexplicably.

Snape's lips moved, as if he had swallowed a bitter medicine: "Your child." He said, as if suddenly losing the ability to organize words, Snape said intermittently, "There must be a Raitling, haven't you thought about it that way, or are you not planning on having a baby?"

"Thank you." Ma Linglong said, she was a little dumbfounded, this is Snape's unique way of blessing, more sincere than the previous "congratulations", "If possible, I want to have four children, let them separate Occupy every academy."

The corners of Snape's mouth twitched twice, which should have meant a smile, although his facial muscles were like solidified wax sculptures.

About the question of Dundudo's left hand.

Lao Fu turned his ring into a Horcrux.Dundo found clues based on Lao Fu's middle name and found the Horcrux ring.He should have destroyed the ring with the Gryffindor sword immediately, but the ring is also the resurrection stone of one of the Deathly Hallows. Dundo has been looking for this stone. In the end, Dundo did not resist the temptation to wear the ring on his hand. Then he was attacked by a curse. If it wasn't for Dundo's powerful mana and the timely help of the professor, he would have died at that time.The professor sealed the spell in one of Dundo's hands, which is the hand that Ma Linglong saw (it seems to be the left hand in the movie), extending Dundo's life for one year.
