The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Ma Linglong subconsciously rubbed her belly, this action happened to be seen by Snape, he had seen Ma Linglong make such a move for several days in a row.Snape didn't care at first, after seeing a lot, he was more or less concerned, but he didn't give more curiosity, just continued to maintain a flat facial expression and a deep voice to preside over the teachers' meeting.

The Teachers' Conference usually brings together all the teachers at Hogwarts before Christmas, including a large meeting in which Filch and Madam Pomfrey also attend, usually relating to the troubles each teacher is facing.

Sirius wasn't very serious, he was fiddling with a novelty toy he got from the joke store under the table. Not very effective.

"Professor Black," Snape said, his lips tensed, "please don't make any noise that shouldn't exist in the conference room."

"Sorry." Sirius blinked his eyes and said, "I'm just researching the new Transfiguration." He quickly stuffed the player into the sleeve robe.

Snape said: "It can be seen that you are very attentive." He had a slight sarcasm, "The enthusiasm of the female students in the seventh grade must be inseparable from your efforts to make noise."

Sirius is still the professor of transfiguration at Hogwarts. He and Snape don't always have to fight tit for tat, but occasionally he doesn't like each other: "I think this is a good sign." Pu is his boss and restrains himself, "At least in terms of parental satisfaction, I am the highest."

"If you only look at the feedback from female parents." Snape replied tepidly, and then he said to Lupine, "I am very pleased to announce, Professor Lupine, that you are expected to be the most popular student and parent this semester, Including the titles that male parents and male students like, usually this belongs to Professor Lillian, but I don't think she would mind being taken away by you." Snape bit the word "male" extremely hard.

As the headmaster, Snape was like Dumbledore, he no longer taught the students himself, which was probably the good news shared by many students who were familiar with Snape.

"I'm ashamed," said Lupine sincerely. "I just did my duty."

Lupine also returned to school as a professor. After the Wizard War, parents and students no longer rejected his werewolf blood, and the new werewolf potion developed by Lupine was well received.Now he almost doesn't have to worry about the damage to his wife and son caused by the transformation of the night of the full moon. Although the potion can't make him completely get rid of the night of turning into a wolf, he has completely got rid of the desire to attack humans.

Snape seemed disengaged from Defense Against the Dark Arts, and he handed the post back to Lupine.There is no doubt that Lupine is a good teacher for this subject. He is very patient and can always create a relaxed environment for students to avoid fear of the dark arts.

"You should really learn from Professor Lupine's humility, Black." Snape pointed out obviously.

Sirius shrugged nonchalantly.

Snape was sorting out the work notes given to him by the teachers alone, the meeting ended half an hour ago, there wasn't much sex, but it wasn't completely harmonious either.All the teachers knew that Sirius and Snape hated each other, but Snape didn't seem to intend to fire him like last time, after all he knew his talent.

The door of the principal's room opened automatically, and Snape turned his head. He saw Ma Linglong walking down the first step: "I was going to find you," Snape said.

The password to the headmaster's office was Dumbledore's name, which made the process of getting inside a sacred one.

The Phoenix Fox is still in its previous location. The brown wooden bird stand is quite old but very strong. It is now Ma Linglong's pet. Dumbledore left his important relics to his most trusted person, and that may It was also Fox's idea.Ma Linglong didn't let the phoenix stay on her arm like the dragon, she hoped that Fox could stay in the old place.

"Your plan of divorce doesn't work, so you just want to get an idea from me?" Ma Linglong stroked Fox's red feathers.

Ma Linglong knew that Snape had deliberately approved of Lupine in front of everyone at the meeting. Of course, it was also possible that he really recognized him, but Snape would definitely not admit it easily, even if he was the headmaster.Most of the time Snape didn't use his headmaster to put pressure on Sirius, unless Sirius was really at fault. Unfortunately, Sirius has performed very well so far.

Except during group meetings, he is always not focused enough.

"I just want to know what you're thinking," Snape said.

Ma Linglong shook her head, she noticed the fleeting disappointment in Snape's eyes.

Snape hoped that Ma Linglong could be the teacher of Potions class. He put forward his idea three days ago. He thought that Ma Linglong would definitely not refuse, because he didn't think of a reason why she could refuse.Potions was a subject that Ma Linglong was good at and liked when she was a student. Even now, she has not stopped in-depth research. She even moved the potions laboratory to the Avengers base.

"I don't think teaching this class will delay your meeting with Stark." Snape said, "After all, you are past the period of love and don't need to be together all the time."

This was Snape's accusation, and Ma Linglong could hear that there was a trace of dissatisfaction in the words.

"I'm pregnant." So Ma Linglong said to him, "The potion is likely to affect the fetus." She touched her belly again, although there was no bulge or slightly convex change in that part, "I'm not going to take the responsibility risks in this regard.”

Snape's expression was gloomy, and he was silent for a while before restraining his excitement: "When did it happen?"

"Less than a month." Ma Linglong responded to him, the girl couldn't see the man's mood at this moment from Snape's sallow face, "If it wasn't because of pregnancy, I think even if you didn't bring it up, I would Volunteering to apply for a position in Potions."

"Understood." His voice was extremely low, as if all his emotions were blocked in his throat, "Congratulations."

"sincere?"

"Yes." Snape thought for a moment, "Perhaps you'd prefer a long vacation?"

"That's not necessary, I don't feel much now, not to mention Stark doesn't know I'm pregnant yet."

"You didn't tell him?"

"No." Ma Linglong said, "He will know, but right now, I want to know another thing."

Snape looked at her.

"Are you willing to be the child's godfather?" Without warning, Ma Linglong made a request that shocked Snape, "Don't look at me like that, I'm serious, not joking."

Snape didn't answer right away, he turned around stiffly, pointed the rolls of parchment on the desk into the cabinet one by one with his wand, but none of them went in smoothly.

Ma Linglong waited for him silently.

"I'm not sure if I could..." Snape paused, struggling to find the right words, "Why me, you should be looking for Black or Lupine?"

Ma Linglong smiled and said, "You just need to answer 'yes'." She raised her head and looked at Dumbledore's portrait. The kind-hearted old man looked at her peacefully, "Sirius is already the godfather of Lupine's children. , I don't need to look for him again, and Lupine has a baby of his own, I don't think he has extra time. Of course, I didn't think about the two of them in the first place, and they didn't even know that I was pregnant."

Snape had a look of disbelief.

"If they know it, it means that Stark knows it. I don't intend to let this matter go from them to Stark's ears." Ma Linglong said, "If you are afraid that you don't have the experience of being a godfather, you can learn it in advance. Enough time."

That night, Ma Linglong suddenly noticed that Bucky's trace had moved, and she didn't immediately realize that this might be related to the fetal interference of mana.Ma Linglong sent a text message to Natasha, and she quickly received a reply from the other party, to the effect that everything was under her control.

Ma Linglong once saw that period of brainwashing in Bucky's memory, and she could feel the deep pain from his mind, so it's hard to say whether Natasha can really master Bucky, his memory It hasn't recovered yet, and Bucky's impression of his ex-girlfriend is probably blank. .

Ma Linglong rummaged through the recent news for a while, but there was no topic about the Winter Soldier or James Barnes. Even the bombing incident in Vienna half a month ago was blocked, and no more words could be found.

Stark's phone call came in while Ma Linglong was taking a shower. Although the man tried his best to conceal it, Ma Linglong could still hear his tiredness hidden on the other side of the receiver.

"Are you okay?" Ma Linglong asked with concern.

"It's natural." Stark pretended to be brisk and said that he was not as good as he said, and he was even bad, but he didn't want Ma Linglong to find out how bad he was for the time being.

Stark meets Bucky, the guy who looks a bit like a homeless man with a robotic arm, and he's not very kind to Stark, he probably doesn't have kindness to anyone, including Steve, his old comrade-in-arms inside.Bucky's arm is very lethal. It seems to be a sophisticated device. The interface of the arm is connected to the nerve center inside the shoulder fracture. Bucky can flexibly use an acquired prosthetic to do various deadly and dangerous things. Actions.

When he saw Bucky for the first time, Stark had no doubts that he had something to do with the bombing in Vienna. Bucky looked like someone who would do such a thing, not to mention that he almost wanted Stark a few years ago. Ke's life, and this time too,

Not only did Stark see him, he knocked Stark down and almost killed him.

Well, at least Stark dismantled the Winter Soldier's pistol/gun.

For that, Stark is happy to thank Natasha for showing up just in time, stopping Bucky before Bucky swings his metal fist at his head, which isn't wearing a steel visor, and they scuffle again Together, Natasha seemed to be yelling something at Bucky in Russian, which Stark couldn't understand, but he didn't think too much about it.

He had severe pain in his abdomen and back, as well as his face.

Stark didn't want to put the blame on Steve, but it was hard for him not to think about it.

Anti-terrorist forces captured James Barnes, and it took a lot of effort.

Stark knew how important this man was to Steve, and he didn't intend to lose Captain America, so he made compromises and concessions.As long as Steve signs the agreement, Stark can figure out a way for Captain America to meet with Bucky in private, while preventing the Special Forces from capturing the Winter Soldier to become legal.

Stark thought this was the best way he could think of to get the best of both worlds.

He even took out Howard's dip pen. According to Stark's idea, it symbolized the olive branch. He hoped that Steve could use this pen that Howard had used to sign Steve Rogers' name.

However, Steve did not sign it in the end. Stark didn't know which link went wrong. Was it because he restricted Wanda and Pietro to the Avengers base? Stark didn't understand what was wrong with doing so, he just Just trying to protect the controversial superpowered siblings from reporters.

But Steve blamed his actions.

"I just want to hear your voice," Stark said. "You know I like hearing you the most, and of course you like listening to me."

"Do you want to see me? I can come back right away. I don't have class tomorrow morning." Ma Linglong said.

"Of course I want to see you, but I think it may be difficult for us to meet for the time being." Stark said, "I'm not in the United States."

"Where are you now?" Ma Linglong asked, she knew him too well and knew him too well, she knew that Stark would not come to this call for no reason, they were not young couples in love, and they couldn't control themselves after seeing each other for a few days Missing emotions, he must have encountered something bad.What's more, if Stark really missed her so much, he could call her back on the phone instead of just listening to her talk.

"Germany." Stark said, the medical staff were going to check his injuries, Stark covered the receiver with one hand, and drove them away with the other hand, "some business needs to be dealt with."

"Is it related to the Sokovia agreement?"

"Almost." Stark said with feigned relief.

It was not easy to catch Bucky, not to mention that Captain America was involved, but in the end the United Nations counter-terrorism forces arrested him. They used several helicopters and armored vehicles.Bucky was escorted to the anti-terrorism headquarters in Germany. Given that he was a hero of World War II, and the reason why he acted against the heroic behavior was that his spirit had been severely damaged, which is the reason for brainwashing, Bucky did not immediately is convicted.

Even though he's a suspect in the death of Wakanda's previous king, Stark still has a place in Europe.

As long as Steve signs it, everything can be turned around.

But Stark didn't wait for Steve's signature before something went wrong. Bucky suddenly went crazy for unknown reasons. He seemed to want to escape and injured many agents along the way, including Stark himself. There was a hole in the corner of his left eye The obvious scars, Stark hoped that the wounds would disappear quickly before seeing Ma Linglong.

"I just want to know," Stark said, "do you think I'm doing it wrong, this time? I mean, the agreement, I should ignore it or better oppose it, like I used to sing against the government in the past day."

"What about you, do you think you are wrong?" Ma Linglong asked back.

"No." Stark responded with certainty, "I don't think so."

"That's fine." Ma Linglong said, "Tell me what happened?"

Stark didn't need to ask Ma Linglong such a question, because he knew that his wife would agree with all his actions no matter what, he just wanted to get a comfort: "You know what happened in Vienna, we caught Barnes , it should be said that the Germans caught him, but he ran away, I guess Rogers helped a little, and Sam Wilson, I have to get them back, UNCHT gave me 36 hours to do this thing."

Ma Linglong hesitated for a few seconds: "What if you fail?"

"Then Captain America will be listed as the most wanted man, and the anti-terrorist forces will order him to surrender with a deadly weapon pointed at his head." Stark said weakly, "I know it sounds ridiculous, I don't think Howard has ever died in his life." Think Captain America is today, but that's how it is."

Ma Linglong recalled Trelawney's prophecy: "What can I do for you, do you want me to help you?"

"I can handle it well, believe me." Stark said, he glanced at Natasha beside him, in fact, they really need manpower, so far, only he and Natasha are involved in capturing Winter Day at the same time Soldier vs. Captain America, it's a tricky job, "I'm glad you said that, I miss you dear, how about we go on vacation when I get this out of my way, just you and me?" "

"Okay." Ma Linglong said.

Stark noticed Natasha's expression of relief.

"Actually, I've always wanted to ask you, baby." Stark didn't pay attention to Natasha, "Do you think, would you like to have a child, just one?"

Ma Linglong was a little pleased: "Do you want to be a father?"

"I'm not sure if I can do a good job as a father, but I definitely want to have children with you." Stark said, "It's okay if you don't want it, I'm just asking."

"Okay." Ma Linglong said, "We will have a child after you settle your matter."

Stark hung up the phone happily, and he used alcohol cotton balls to disinfect the wound next to the corner of his eye.

"I thought you would ask Linglong for help, and your other wizard friends." Natasha handed him some band-aids, but Stark didn't plan to stick them on his face.

"I did have a plan at the beginning." Stark closed his eyes, then opened them, "Think about it, it's better for the Muggles to solve the Muggles' problems by themselves."

"But we are seriously short of people." Of course, Natasha did not want wizards, especially Ma Linglong, to join this battle, which would put Bucky in a situation where there is no redemption.The reason why she is standing on the same front with Stark until now is that she does not want to see Stark alone and helpless, and finally has to turn to the wizard for help.

"If Banner is..." Stark muttered, his old partner might have drifted to the other side of the earth.

Natasha interrupted him: "Do you think the doctor would agree to an agreement?"

Stark said: "I think the new king of Wakanda will be on our side, maybe you can persuade him to act with us?"

"Okay." Natasha said, "What about your people, besides wizards, do you know any other helpers?"

"There is one," Stark said, his big brown eyes shining with a brilliant idea. "Lives in Queens and is an insect like you."

"Strictly speaking." Natasha corrected him, "Spiders don't belong to the insect family."
