The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Los Angeles, USA--

Stark couldn't believe that Ma Linglong hired him a new assistant, the kind who needed to live in his villa, oh no, his and Ma Linglong's villa, the kind that he followed up with personal assistant.Well, the new assistant is gorgeous, and Stark would be delighted if he didn't have his heart set on it.

"No, I object to you doing this." Stark stuck behind Ma Linglong, as if there was no one else in his living room, ignoring the presence of the new assistant and Pep.Whispering in Ma Linglong's ear, he rubbed the girl's waist with his palm from time to time, as if he could get what he wanted as long as he did so, "I don't need a new assistant, I just want you."

"I'm going back to Hogwarts tomorrow." Ma Linglong slapped his restless hand, "You need to be taken care of."

"Can you stop treating me like a child, although I always show a childish side, it's only in front of you, I don't have an assistant and I won't starve to death." Stark whispered protestingly, "And, look, She is so sexy, aren't you afraid that she will have unscrupulous plans for me?"

"It seems that I found the right one. You like her." Ma Linglong said dryly.

"No, no, how is it possible!" Stark quickly explained, "I just want to express my loyalty to you, and I can take care of myself without any sexy female assistants around me."

"You have said 'sexy' twice already." Ma Linglong said.

"I swear I didn't mean to like her..."

Ma Linglong patted Stark's face lightly, she kissed him, and then said: "Don't be nervous, just kidding, since you handed over the executive power of the company to Miss Potts, naturally you need a notary to handle the handover procedures. Northman is my friend from the Washington legal department, she is very professional, she will not hit your mind, she has people she likes."

Stark completely handed over the executive power of the entire company to Pep Potts. Just two days ago, although Pep had been managing the huge Stark Industries, he did have certain executive power, but this This time, Stark assigned 20.00% of the entire industry's shares to Pep's name. She is now a veritable female president, and she was promoted to the top [-] on the list of richest women in the world overnight.

In fact, Stark originally wanted to hand over the executive power of the company to Ma Linglong. He thought it was an understandable choice, but Ma Linglong chose Pep. The strong woman who dedicated herself to the company was the best. good candidate.Stark had written a list of inheritance a few weeks ago, it was very long, and it was only then that he realized that he had so many assets.He affixed a legally effective official seal and hired a lawyer to notarize. Once Stark died, all the remaining property would belong to Ma Linglong alone.

All of this was done secretly by Stark, who thought he was unnoticed by anyone.

"Northman knows martial arts. During the time I'm not with you, she can guarantee your safety. Since you have been targeted, she has a certain say in the legal department." Even if there is a "soul-changing spell" Ma Linglong does not think that the current situation is a good time to let Stark be alone. He has spent a lot of time donating money and giving away property everywhere. He also wants to transfer all the real estate to Ma Ling. Long's name, including a pizzeria and donut shop acquired for inexplicable reasons.

It's like explaining the funeral, at least Ma Linglong thinks so, although Pep thinks Stark may be crazy.

"I don't want her, I just want you." Stark said, his eyes never left Ma Linglong.

"Believe me, she's the best choice, Northman also speaks Latin."

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Because I also speak Latin."

"Then I guess..." Stark thought Natasha was a witch too.

"She's not." Ma Linglong said immediately.

Nitanli.Rushman is Natasha's pseudonym. It is no surprise to Ma Linglong that she can change from an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Yes, the speed of their group of people changing their identities is no less than the blessing of magic.

"You can't be serious, are you?" Stark realized that Ma Linglong's attitude was very firm, "How could you allow a strange woman to stay by my side? I remember you were still upset about the gift Miss Potts gave me. Pass."

Pep smiled a little embarrassedly.

Ma Linglong glared at him.

After the bar deal that day, Natasha agreed without hesitation to Ma Linglong to protect Stark for her. However, Ma Linglong later suspected that it might not be because of her own relationship. Ke, and they've been watching him.Perhaps SHIELD itself has been looking for opportunities to get close to Stark, and staying by his side as an assistant is the most suitable way.

But Ma Linglong didn't mind the purpose of S.H.I.E.L.D., at least they wanted Stark to live, and it happened that Ma Linglong also thought so.

"I'll leave the rest of the time to you." Ma Linglong said after leaving Stark's embrace, "I still have an appointment."

"What, today is the last day for the two of us, but you said you have an appointment?" Stark stood up dissatisfied, "I made a reservation."

"You didn't book any seats at all." Ma Linglong said, she lowered her voice, "You should reflect on yourself, Stark, these few days you didn't cherish our last time together, your attention was all on the mechanical parts. "

"I can book a seat right away." Stark said, he had to admit that he didn't snub Ma Linglong on purpose.He loves her so much, and wants to be with her all the time, even when he is doing research, he doesn't mind letting Ma Linglong sit on his lap.

But Stark had to make himself seem more absorbed in his work, he could no longer have sex with Ma Linglong, it wasn't the palladium element that caused him to lose his sexual function.Of course, if this is the case, it would be very bad, but now there is something worse, Stark's chest has obvious changes, as the concentration of palladium increases, the skin around the reactor becomes extremely dark purple, he knows this It was caused by poisoning, and there was still a slight pain when pressed gently.

This situation will become more and more serious.

Stark didn't want to be discovered by Ma Linglong, so he had to choose to ignore the relationship between them, acting as if his life was already filled with work.

However, Ma Linglong knew it well, but he didn't intend to expose it.

"I made an appointment with Bruce Wayne." Ma Linglong said, "I made an appointment a month ago."

"Well, maybe we'll see each other tonight?" Stark said.

"My date with him happened to be in the evening."

Stark is very clear about the meaning expressed in Ma Linglong's words. Bruce is Batman, and he always acts at night: "Okay," even so, Stark said very unhappy, "You and Bruce, me and Ni Tonight, Tanley."

Ma Linglong smiled, and said to Natasha: "You can live in my room, and you can choose the clothes in the closet as you like."

"Hey, wait, I haven't agreed yet, this is my home, I have the final say." Stark muttered.

Ma Linglong glanced at him: "It's also my home."

England. Hogwarts——

Hogwarts has ushered in another new school year, which means that Harry is 13 years old. As a third-year student learning how to be a good wizard, Harry's performance in the previous two years is enough to be called wonderful, at least immediately. That's what Linglong thought when she was flipping through Little Potter's resume.

To be honest, she thinks that compared to James, Harry has almost no shortcomings. He is helpful, protective of the weak, polite, excellent grades (currently has partial subjects, Potions), and has no bad deeds of bullying.If you really want to pick out his shortcomings from a bunch of advantages, it is probably a bit of personal heroism, if for a 13-year-old boy, this must be counted as a disadvantage.

He was no less popular than his father, or even more popular. After all, James had a bad temper, while Harry was very easy to get along with, that's how his classmates and most teachers commented on him.

"Have you arrived yet, the magical school?" Stark said on the phone.

"Yes, I just arrived and I'm cleaning the office." Ma Linglong replied, "I'll be back in a week, so you have to be good."

"Don't tell me to be obedient, just like Hannah's tone." Stark said, in fact, he was very useful, "You are going to disappear from me for a week, what should I do, you are going to leave me alone?"

"Stop doing this, you won't have time to talk to me these few days." Ma Linglong kept the little bat by his side, just in case the little bat could help him.

"Don't be angry, I'll make it up to you in a week." Stark said hastily, "I'm going to hang up, I promise to send you a text message every day." He hoped that this week can make some progress, at least set a direction, Don't let the whole thing spiral toward the worst.

"I don't want Jarvis to send it."

Stark hesitated for a moment: "I will try my best."

After hanging up the phone, Ma Linglong put Harry's documents on the table casually. She made a cup of coffee and walked to the window. There were black ghost-like things floating around the school. No one could see exactly how many there were. , they are far away, even standing on the top of the bell tower, you can only see a little bit of black indistinctly.Teachers and students at Hogwarts know that those are not ghosts, they are [-] times more terrifying than ghosts and they are not controlled by anyone.

This is not destined to be a peaceful new school year, Ma Linglong thought.

They were dementors, and despite Dumbledore's vehement disapproval of dangerous prison guards in places where students gathered, the Ministry of Magic insisted on doing so, and for good reason.

Among the prisoners who were considered to have stayed in Azkaban, Sirius Black, the most notorious prisoner, had escaped from prison. Such appalling news was confirmed by the Ministry of Magic and published in major newspapers, causing the entire wizarding community to panic.No one knows what method he used to escape the monitoring and pursuit of the dementors. This is almost impossible, but he not only did it, but he is still at large.

Not only that, Cornelius Fudge, the minister of the Ministry of Magic, also told the British Prime Minister the information of the fugitive in a way acceptable to Muggles, and his statement that he replaced the wand with a gun was approved by the Prime Minister.So the Muggle newspapers published warnings about the prison escape of serious criminals, and the news feed also had relevant content, but compared with the pages of the wizarding world, the Muggle newspapers had much less content about Sirius. 【Note】

Ma Linglong finished her coffee and came to the principal's office to make an official report. She was accompanied by the deans of the four colleges, who knew each other very well.Dumbledore welcomed her with a pleasing expression and invited her to sit down. They happened to be discussing the new arrangement of Ma Lingxiao's responsibilities. Dumbledore summoned the most authoritative professors at Hogwarts to participate in this meeting. 【Note】

"From this semester onwards, your course is not limited to "History of Magic". I have discussed with the deans, and you will also take up the Transfiguration class from the fifth to the seventh grade." Dumbledore said kindly, "We agree that your The teaching ability is adequate for the job."

Ma Linglong believed that Dumbledore had the right to make this decision even without discussing it with anyone, so she doubted whether it was the headmaster's idea alone or everyone had a share.

"Don't worry." Dumbledore easily blocked Ma Linglong's words before she could say "No", "I'll give you double wages." He said, then looked at the others and asked gently , "You have no opinion, right?"

"It couldn't be better." Professor McGonagall said first. This elegant lady in a dark green robe always has a very rigid expression. Under the small square glasses is a pair of eyes that seem sharp but are caring. The towering cloud bun is always Neat and tidy, as if I have never been put down, "You know I am too busy, dealing with the little ones in the first and second grades is enough trouble, it is most suitable for the upper grades to Lillian, thank you, child .” She thanked Ma Linglong first before Ma Linglong wanted to express her wishes.

Minerva Magall, an Animagus, teacher of Transfiguration, who can transform into an English shorthair tabby cat.In fact, this is the reason why Ma Linglong likes Professor McGonagall. The image of the tabby cat is not similar to her own. The former is very cute and docile. Even the glasses that make her look majestic will turn into a cat in McGonagall When it turns into a pattern around the eyes.

Anyway, Ma Linglong was fascinated by her furry appearance the first time she took Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class.

Except for Snape, the deans of the other two colleges expressed their complete agreement and no objection consensus, and then they began to argue that if Ma Linglong had not chosen Slytherin at that time, he would definitely choose his own college. It was confirmed that their respective guesses were correct, but the Sorting Hat said nothing.

Everyone present remembers that Ma Linglong attracted the attention of the whole school during the sorting ceremony on the first night. The five exchange students who came from the same place as her were assigned to Ravenclaw, and everyone guessed that this one should be similar.

But the result didn’t come as expected. Dumbledore noticed that the Sorting Hat hesitated like never before. It couldn’t even say a word, and kept dragging long syllables such as “um, oh” to express that it had fallen into the depths. think.

There was almost an hour-long pause, and everyone became agitated, except for Ma Linglong, she did not speak, nor did she show any signs of impatience. Dumbledore asked everyone to wait quietly several times.This is not the first time the Sorting Hat has been unable to give a positive judgment. There are no less than five times in Dumbledore's memory, but this is not the norm.So he judged that Ma Linglong must be extraordinary, and he hoped that her extraordinary will develop in a super positive way.

In the end, the Sorting Hat let Ma Linglong choose for herself, and the little girl pointed at Slytherin's table without even thinking about it.

Everyone was shocked, including Dumbledore. With the fierce applause and cheers from Slytherin, Ma Linglong walked on a path that did not match her identity and was completely opposite.

At that time, Dumbledore's heart sank, as if he had foreseen that she would gradually move towards a dark future.

"You're welcome, Professor McGonagall." Ma Linglong said, she did not reject being a teacher of any subject, Ma Linglong was good at every subject and could guarantee the quality of teaching, "I really miss your other appearance." But she Not wanting to be too busy led to negligence of Stark.

"Son, if you like cats, I can convince some other cats to be your pets," said Professor McGonagall. "Where's your bat?"

"Send it away."

"Oh, who's so lucky?" Professor McGonagall knew very well that it was no ordinary bat.

"Stark."

Ma Linglong concluded that Stark's illness had spread to his chest skin. Natasha had revealed to her the early symptoms of palladium poisoning. The reason why Stark refused to share the bed with her must be related to this.He always finds many reasons to tell Ma Linglong to sleep alone, or even if they sleep together, he must wear a vest. He refuses to do AI, just kiss.Even Ma Linglong's seduction of her was ignored. She noticed Stark's crotch tented several times, indicating that he was arousing. When facing the girl dressed in translucent underwear, Stark said Outgoing desires are often very honest.

He is so keen on doing bed exercises with Ma Linglong.

This sudden change could not but arouse the girl's suspicion. She felt that even if she didn't know about the palladium metal, Stark's abnormality could not be hidden from her.In fact, Ma Linglong has feelings. When Stark's physical condition is bad, her own heart rhythm will also become unstable.

The side effects of the Soul Changing Curse.

"And you, Snape, don't you want to say something?" Dumbledore asked.

Ma Linglong moved his eyes to Snape's direction, and the expressionless young man's lips moved hesitantly. He might want to express his agreement with Dumbledore's words, but in the end he just pursed his already thin lips. Say nothing.

"That's it." Dumbledore said happily, "Also." He said to Ma Linglong, "There is one more thing."

"Professor." Ma Linglong interrupted him first, "I hope you didn't intend to trap me here."

"Of course not, you are already in love, how could I deprive you of your sweet time." Dumbledore smiled slightly, "You will enjoy this job, being Lupin's assistant, helping him adapt to teaching, and ..." He deliberately paused.

"I know." Ma Linglong said, "I will help him."

In the corridor back to the office, Ma Linglong greeted the ghosts passing by. What they said most was not greetings such as welcome back or you are finally back, but more concerned about the whereabouts of her Muggle boyfriend.Needless to say, the students also got the news from the mouth of the ghost, and she already had a premonition of how lively the first class would be.

A hand grabbed her arm, Ma Linglong subconsciously pointed her wand behind her, and then quickly put it down: "What's the matter, Severus."

Snape frowned tightly, and let go of his hand: "Blake, you did it right."

Ma Linglong didn't avoid his suspicious eyes: "What, you want to report me?"

This was undoubtedly admitted, Snape's eyelids trembled: "You shouldn't do this." He lowered his voice, "Why?"

"I have said many times, he is not a Death Eater." Ma Linglong said, "You have prejudice against him, I don't."

"No one will be more fond of the guy who almost killed him." Snape said indifferently, even with disgust in it.Sirius once tricked him into the Shrieking Shack, where he witnessed the horror of Lupine turning into a werewolf. If James hadn't saved him in time, Snape would probably have died there as he said.But he didn't feel grateful to his savior because of this, and even hated him even more, hating him made him lose his reason to hate him.

Ma Linglong didn't intend to engage in pointless debate with him: "The incident back then had other secrets, and it wasn't him who did it anyway. You should worry more about the dementors outside the school."

"Why?" Snape said.

"I said, I believe him."

"Why tell me you did it," Snape added.

"What do you think?" Ma Linglong raised her eyebrows, she believed that Sirius also believed in Snape, she believed that he would not tell everyone the truth about Sirius' escape from prison, and he would keep his mouth shut.

Snape turned his face to the side unnaturally, as if he was no longer comfortable with Ma Linglong's sudden change of attitude: "That Muggle... Stark, how did he treat you?"

"Too good." Ma Linglong said deliberately, "Maybe you want to meet him."

"No."

The dinner and sorting ceremony of the new semester is something that every teacher and student is looking forward to. Dumbledore will give a speech after the sorting ceremony, introducing the precautions for this semester, especially for freshmen.This time Dumbledore was particularly serious, because the arrival of those dementors increased the danger of campus life. He warned some mischievous ghosts who did not obey the school rules. Dementors are outside the school. Allowing to leave school without authorization has serious consequences.

Ma Linglong lowered her head and flicked the screen of her mobile phone. Bruce Wayne sent a text message. After the operation last night, he found very important clues. He found that wizards seemed to be involved in the whole incident, but he was not sure. It could also be someone with superpowers, Bruce has already told Mike what he knows.

Snape looked under Ma Linglong's tablecloth from time to time, it was really dazzling: "Do you have to be absent-minded at this time?" He couldn't bear to say.

"Do you have to disturb me at this time?" Ma Linglong quickly replied to the text message without raising her head.

Dumbledore began to introduce the new teachers to the students with his loud voice. He changed the harsh words just now, and said the names of the new teachers and the positions they held in a pleasant voice.There were sporadic and not very enthusiastic applause in the huge auditorium, which is not surprising. No one knew Lupine, even though he was an excellent Hogwarts graduate. Without extraordinary achievements, it seems very mediocre.Coupled with the fact that his clothes are not decent enough, it can even be described as shabby, at least Lupine will not be favored by Slytherin House.

The sluggish reaction of the students was quickly greatly improved when Dumbledore pronounced Ma Linglong's name and gave her various fresh titles, such as the most popular among students, the most attractive prefix of the East Witch, etc. At that moment, the whole auditorium seemed to explode.

Fred and George even whistled boldly, and applause and cheers echoed in the auditorium.

These were mainly the anger created by the senior students. After all, Ma Linglong had never taught the first and second grades. They might know who Ma Linglong was, but they didn't know why they needed such a big reaction.

Ron joined in the screaming, and Hermione leaned back in disgust for the bag of treats.

"Do you want to say something to your loyal supporters, Professor Lillian." Dumbledore said.

Ma Linglong stood up from her seat. She first pointed to the twins who were about to jump on the dining table, telling them to calm down, and then tapped the wand on the side of her neck. She used the "loud" spell to keep her voice from rising. Can be heard clearly by everyone: "Dinner." She said.

The Screaming Shack, a place full of memories of all kinds of adventures, once upon a time, she and the boys would hold a secret meeting together every month, and the Screaming Shack at that time was like a paradise for them.

Ma Linglong hadn't set foot in this room for a long time. Its existence was to cover up Lupin's secret. Without Lupine and deerhounds, this place would lose its meaning.

"It hasn't changed at all, here." Ma Linglong said to Lu Ping, after the dinner for the new school year, she invited Lu Ping to the old place, as if she was planning to catch up on the old days.

Although the screaming shack has lost its roar, its haunted legends have intensified over the past decade.

Lupine thought for a while before replying: "It has changed a lot, only you and me."

"I mean the arrangement." Ma Linglong said.

"I know." Lupine subconsciously walked to the place where he used to stay, touched the table near his hand, and the dust covered his fingertips: "Sirius must have escaped from prison for Harry." He said, "Fortunately Harry's at Hogwarts."

"You also think he betrayed us?"

"I don't know, he was the last one to do it, but everybody accuses him."

The secret keeper back then was indeed Sirius. Except for James and himself, no one knew that the secret keeper was changed in the end, even Ma Linglong didn't know, but she never believed that Sirius would betray James and him. lily.Ma Linglong immediately ventured into the prison to question him, asking what happened to Sirius.

"The betrayer is not Sirius." Ma Linglong said, she looked at Lupin, "it's another person you don't even think about."

Lupine's neck twitched, and he became alert.

"Remus." The figure of Sirius suddenly came out from the back room.

Lupine drew out his wand and pointed it at his former friend, cold sweat permeated his hair: "Sirius!"

"Put away your wand, Lupine, if you have any questions, just ask the person concerned." Ma Linglong sat down, "Just like when he asked you about werewolves back then."
