The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Stark spent a long time explaining to Lupine that this is a hotel rather than a residential area, although its architectural style is indeed similar, after all, it is an apartment hotel.He hoped that the wizard could understand English, because there was a huge "hotel" sign outside the fountain of the hotel, obviously Lupine must have not noticed, and he didn't come in through the main entrance.

"No one lives in this place long-term," Stark said. "We only stay there for a night or two when we can't go home for a while." He wished all wizards were as smart as Ma Linglong, Stark's impatience and casualness were unabashedly directed at a prim stranger.

This made Lupine even more uncomfortable. He rubbed the hem of his clothes to hide his uneasiness: "I'm sorry to disturb you." He said, "Thank you for letting me in."

Lupine is definitely a smart person, or a smart wizard, he is not only smart but also extremely talented in magic, he is a pure blood.If he hadn't been bitten by a werewolf when he was a child and turned himself into a werewolf, and suffered all the torture of transformation, his future can be imagined.Lupine is by no means as clumsy as Stark saw in his eyes, or as poor as a tramp. He just came to the Muggle world for the first time, and he was very unfamiliar with everything around him, accompanied by a trace of fear.

When he was in school, Lupine occasionally got some Muggle-related stories from Lily. During those days, his attitude towards Muggles was just a tepid acceptance. He had never seen a real Muggle.After the wizarding war, Lupine traveled around, doing various jobs that were not in line with his abilities, and he could barely make ends meet.

He never thought that one day he would come to the Muggle world. If it wasn't for visiting Ma Linglong, Lupine would definitely not have come. Whether he is a wizard or a werewolf, he can pose a serious threat to wizards, not to mention Muggles. threaten.

Lupine learned from Dumbledore that the changes in the Muggle world in the past ten years have been far greater than before. He also read some related pictures and albums, and he probably knows the relationship between traffic lights and vehicles, and if he encounters difficulties, he can go to the United States. The Wizarding Office for help.

Still, when he actually set foot in this place, all the homework Lupine had done meant nothing to him, and he felt at a loss.

"Okay, what do you drink?" Stark had to show his hospitality.

"White water is fine." Lupine smiled at the other party with a very stiff expression.

"Then let's have coffee." Stark walked to the coffee machine and found that it was empty, and then he remembered that he had just arrived at the hotel not long ago and had no time to do anything, "White water is also good. He calmly changed his mind and took out a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator. The bottle was made of glass with the hotel's logo printed on the surface.

"Thank you." Lupine stared at the refrigerator. He had never seen that kind of thing before. White smoke was coming out of it, but it gave off cold air. His sense of smell was very good. Lupine could smell the food in the refrigerator. .

To find it, he had walked all day because he was afraid to use magic, and he couldn't use Muggle transportation at all.

Lupine was on an empty stomach now, he was very hungry.

"Why, haven't you seen a refrigerator?" Stark stuffed the glass bottle into his hand, "Will you open this? Twist it to the right against the mouth of the bottle. You don't need to use your little wooden stick."

Lupine tightened his shoulders, and pushed his wand inside his clothes, making sure that no part of it was exposed: "You are, Anthony? Anthony Stark?"

Few people call him Anthony, everyone likes to call him Tony, and he himself introduces himself to strangers in this way: "It seems that the name of Iron Man is also very famous in the wizarding world." Yinglun's emphatic voice is particularly pleasant.

This must only mean that his own name sounds good, not the effect brought by the other party's voice, Stark thought.

He didn't immediately ask how the other party came to the door, or why he came. Wizards always have inexplicable ways to suddenly appear and then disappear.

Lupine shook his head, and drank half of the water in the glass bottle: "The news that you and Linglong are together has spread throughout the school." He paused, "You know what school it is, right?" Given that the other party said 'Gryffindor'.

"Of course." He puffed out his chest, showing that he was different, "What does the school say?" Stark was very interested in asking.

Lupine drank the remaining half of the bottle, and he swore he hadn't had such delicious clean water in a long time, and the room was very comfortable, although the round light bulb above his head always made it difficult for him to concentrate: "Spirit Long, is she here right, can I see her?" He didn't answer Stark's question, these were matters between wizards, not to mention, bad words accounted for most of them.

"No." As if announcing ownership, Stark said deliberately.

"I have something very urgent to tell her." Lupine didn't show the slightest temper, smiling and clutching the empty bottle in both hands.

"At least not now." Stark said, he glanced at the electronic dial on the wall, "You have to wait for hours, she is sleeping, you probably don't want to disturb the sleeping lady, right?" Stark Ke had been observing him. The man opposite him was ugly and emaciated, not to mention the shabby clothes and suitcases. He thought that all wizards could use magic to make themselves decent.

But this man named Lupin didn't behave in a truly sloppy manner from beginning to end. He drank water in a hurry, but he didn't drop a drop on his pants, and he didn't use his sleeve to wipe the corner of his mouth that was stained with water.He didn't smell bad, either, except for some outdated and old-fashioned attire that foreshadowed the other's poverty.

Like an old English gentleman, unfortunately Stark had to add "old", Lupine looked at least 50 or [-] years old.

"She's sleeping?" Lupine breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Stark would not allow him to meet Ma Linglong, "I'm really sorry, I must have disturbed you."

"Sure." Stark said bluntly, "Would you like another drink, you drink the bar, there is whiskey and beer in the refrigerator?"

"If it's allowed, can you give me something to eat?" Lupine unexpectedly didn't hate Stark at all, maybe because Ma Linglong was dating him, he thought.Of course, it is also possible that Stark's behavior is not new to Lupine, and it is not the first time he has been with the pretentious guy, and it is really a memorable time.

Stark flattened his mouth: "What do you want to eat?"

"Anything that will fill you up," said Lupine politely.

Stark went to the kitchen, and there were all the utensils in it. There were canned food and frozen steaks in the refrigerator, which were put in by the hotel waiter today. He quickly made a plate of ugly fried steak, Stark suspected that he might have fished out the pasta while it was still cooked. At least the steak wasn't burnt. This is progress, he thought happily.

But Stark soon became unhappy. He thought that his improved cooking skills were not for Ma Linglong.

In fact, Stark can ask the hotel to deliver food, but he doesn't want to be known that he has taken in a man in the house, or maybe, he thinks that this man is escaping from something, and subconsciously wants to help him: "You are also a wizard. ."

"Yes." Lupine was very hungry, but instead of wolfing it down, he was polite, "Aren't you afraid?"

"I think you might be a little more nervous." Stark noticed that the other party didn't show disgust when he took the first bite of steak, so he added points to his impression of Lupin, "What are you looking for her for? I hope it's not causing trouble for her."

Lupine finished eating Stark's craftsmanship, and then said something that even Stark himself couldn't believe: "It's really delicious." He said, "I always thought that Muggle food is the kind of food full of Sticky shellfish."

"You're talking about oysters." Stark said, "We eat them sometimes, but not as a meal. Answer my question."

"It's really troublesome," said Lupine. Stark saw him take out a brown handkerchief from his pocket. Lupine wiped his mouth and said, "It's troublesome for the whole wizarding world."

"Maybe I should throw you out," Stark said. "She just got out of trouble the last time, and you're here to add to her troubles."

"Linglong is in trouble?" Lupine asked eagerly, "Is she injured, how is she now?"

"Let me guess." Stark leaned lazily on the back of the sofa, "You like her, right? Who was her first boyfriend?"

Lupine froze for a moment: "Boyfriend? No, she and I are just good friends." Then he explained with a smile, and said slowly, "Of course I like her, and I'm not the only one who likes her and wants to have sex with her." friend's person."

Stark wasn't really concerned that the down-and-out man in front of him was looking for his girl to rekindle, and he didn't seem competitive, Stark was just curious: "But she only likes me .”

Lupine thought for a while, and said, "This really surprised me." In his impression, Ma Linglong seemed to be more fond of taciturn boys, such as Snape. It seems that he has a good impression of Snape. He doesn't know if that counts as love, maybe not, after all, she was still very young at that time, and she didn't show any sadness because of Snape's ignoring him. .

It's just that James Potter tried his best to pursue Ma Linglong back then. He even tried to pretend that he didn't like talking very much. As a result, he almost suffocated to death due to the silence spell, but in the end he failed to impress Ma Linglong. heart of.This one in front of him looks somewhat similar to James, no matter how he speaks or his arrogant behavior, he must have a lot to say.

Lupine guessed that Stark must have a very flamboyant personality. Even in the face of people he didn't know, he would express himself unceremoniously, which was very similar to James Potter.

"Accident?" Stark heard a harsh answer, "What do you mean..."

"Lu Ping?" When Ma Linglong came out, the two men didn't notice, but when she read the visitor's name, Lu Ping was excited.

He was no longer restrained, no longer sympathetic, and completely stretched his brows.

After Stark left the room, Ma Linglong didn't sleep well. She vaguely felt that the person next to her pillow was attracted by something. At that time, she was very tired and didn't care.But Stark has not turned around, which makes Ma Linglong feel uncomfortable, she is used to being hugged by Stark to sleep.

There is still a hallway between the bedroom and the living room, and the sound insulation is good, but she still feels that there is another person besides Stark.

That feeling is very familiar, especially in places without magic coverage, Ma Linglong can capture the wizard's breath even in a daze.

"Linglong." Lupine stood up excitedly from his seat, he didn't know how to express his inner turmoil, so he could only stand there, "Anthony said, you are in trouble, are you okay now?"

Hey wait, who gave you permission to call me Anthony?After venting his dissatisfaction in his heart, Stark gave up.

"I'm fine." Ma Linglong couldn't imagine that she could see Lupin again. She almost forgot how long they had been separated, probably more than ten years. Since Lily and the others died, Sirius was imprisoned again. After entering prison, Lupine never returned to the place they were familiar with, and even cut off contact with everyone at that time, "What about you?"

Ma Linglong walked towards him slowly, Stark was no longer in her eyes.

This made Stark feel bad.

"Me? Not bad." There was a little heat in Lupine's eyes, and he didn't want to attribute that to the urge to burst into tears. "You look more beautiful."

"And you are more emaciated."

The two hugged each other, almost subconsciously, they couldn't help themselves, they patted each other's back, as if giving each other comfort.Although Stark didn't feel any love from their embrace, he still felt that their bodies were too close.Well, you can't show your petty side at a time like this, Tony, it's just a reunion of old friends, nothing special, you have to show generosity as a boyfriend.

After a long time, Ma Linglong and Lupin separated, and she said to Stark, "Stark, you..."

"Yes, I know, I should lock myself up to give you some wizards' private space, I understand, I'm leaving now, you see I'm leaving." He shook his head with dissatisfaction at an accelerated rate While speaking, he cast a look at Ma Linglong who wanted to stay and listen.

"You will disturb us." Ma Linglong told the truth, and Stark would keep interjecting until Lupine couldn't speak anymore.

"I swear I won't," Stark said, "I'll keep my mouth shut unless you ask me to."

Ma Linglong put Stark's lips in his mouth and gave him a deep kiss. Lupine subconsciously avoided his eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth with some discomfort but joy from his heart.

"Go to sleep obediently." She said to Stark, "I will tell you what we talked about."

"I'll sleep with you," said Stark, looking at Lupine. "That fellow is here to make trouble for you."

"He won't." Ma Linglong rubbed the back of his neck, "Give us some space."

"Okay." Stark said, and then said to Lupin, "Hey, man, this is my girlfriend, take it easy." He obviously saw the tacit understanding between the two, and Stark was a little I also don't want to see that the man opposite is actually here to take away his girl.

"You love him very much." After Stark turned the corner of the hall, Lupine said as if concluding, "He loves you very much too."

"Yes." Ma Linglong said, she sat down and saw Lupine's finished dinner plate, "Do you still want to eat something?"

"No need, Anthony treated me warmly." Lupine said, he pointed to the glass bottle, "He also gave me this, if you are willing to give me another glass, I will be very satisfied."

Ma Linglong guessed that he must have a good impression of Stark. As for the reason, they could all think of it.

"He is very similar to him." Lupine said, not only mineral water, but also various drinks and snacks in the hotel were placed in front of his coffee table.Ma Linglong didn't know what he could give him, Lupine lacked everything, but he didn't need anything.

"I don't think so." Ma Linglong said, "Stark is better."

Lupine laughed.

"You." Ma Linglong paused, "How did you find this place?" Ma Linglong had too many answers to his former best friend, such as where he had been for the past 12 years, why he didn't reply, Are you doing well or something like that.But she didn't blurt out the question, even if she didn't speak, she could still see something from the other party's outfit and prematurely aging face.

"Professor Dumbledore pointed me in the right direction." He said, "This stuff reminds me of flavored beans." Lupine pointed to a box of chocolate fairways, "Muggle sweets are not as bad as other wizards describe .”

The most important people in Lupine's life, apart from his parents, were James and Sirius, and this girl in front of him. They accepted his secret and never joked about it with him.However, when the terrible facts of James' death, Sirius' rebellion and so on slammed in front of Lupine, he guessed that he was probably completely deluded, and he just wanted to quickly escape from this nightmare and leave that sad place.

He didn't even say hello, and seemed to disappear completely. For more than ten years after Lily and James were killed by Voldemort, Ma Linglong had no idea where Lupine was. She tried many methods and wrote more than one Thousands of letters.At that time she thought he was dead, and Ma Linglong was in great pain, because she lost almost all her friends in a very short period of time.

A few years later, she received a letter from Lu Ping, saying that he was fine and that Ma Linglong didn't need to worry about him. That was the only letter Lu Ping wrote to Ma Linglong. After that, there was no news.

It was hard for Ma Linglong to imagine how he survived the transformation every month. With the encouragement and company of losing his friends, he must have left himself covered in bruises every time.He was aging so fast and his eyes looked so dark.When they parted, Lupine was only 21 years old, a very vigorous age, although he gave everyone the impression of being deep and steady.But it is by no means a weak and dying look, as if he has lived not just ten years, but 30 or 40 years.

"Professor Dumbledore sent you to find me?" Ma Linglong asked.

"I'm the one who came to see you." Lupine replied slowly, "Dumbledore hired me to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts next semester."

"That's good." Ma Linglong was happy for him, "You can do it."

Lupine smiled, and the lines on his face deepened.

"Then." Ma Linglong said, "Did you come to me to persuade me to go back to school?"

"No." Lupine's smile faded. "Sirius has escaped."
