How wizards learn science and technology

Merlin woke up to the smell of shampoo on Phoebe.

Before he opened his eyes, he smelled the faint scent of milk and orchids surrounding him.One person and one cat were so close that Merlin could even feel the breathing rate of the hairball on his shoulder.

Merlin fumbled to turn off the alarm clock early, and then opened his eyes.

The white cat was particularly fond of Merlin's pillows when he was a guest at his apartment, and Kings|man's headquarters was no exception.The white cat was lying between the pillow and the wall, curled up into a ball, buried its head in its front paws, with its back facing Merlin, still awake.

"Phoebe?" Merlin called softly.

The white cat's ears stood up sharply, and it made a purring sound.

God, Merlin really wanted to reach out and touch its trembling ears.But he never forgot her merciless slap. Is there anything crueler in this world than being unable to touch a cat while a cat star is right in front of you?

But Merlin respected Phoebe's habits, the point being that he didn't want to be scratched.

He sat up: "it's six o'clock, it's time for dinner."

However, the white cat still didn't move, it just whimpered, indicating that it heard it.Merlin had no choice but to get out of bed first, and went to the bathroom to wash his face.

When he returned to the bedroom, the white cat slowly got up.It straightened its front legs, its torso tensed, and it gave a cat-like stretch and yawned.

"I'll have the kitchen prepare dinner," said Merlin, "or fish and chips?"

The white cat sat down on the bed: "Meow."

Merlin: "You plan to eat like this?"

White cat: "Meow."

Merlin: "..."

I don’t know if wizards in animal form can communicate with real animals. If possible, Kings|man may be richer than his American cousins ​​by inventing a translator that can communicate with cats and dogs. .

By the time Merlin brought the fish and chips back to the room, he had almost thought about the programming of the translator.

However, Phoebe Lovegood returned to her human form, but she was still sitting on the bed, fiddling with the glasses that Merlin had put on the bedside.

Her wizard robe was gone, and she was wearing a sweater and trousers. She looked no different from an ordinary young girl.Merlin turned just in time to see Phoebe put his glasses on the bridge of his nose and make a surprised noise.

Merlin: "What?"

Phoebe: "So you're not nearsighted."

He suddenly laughed out loud.

The glasses equipped by Kings|man are full of the latest modern technology, and the lenses are thick. No wonder Phoebe misunderstood it.

"You want to open it?" Merlin asked, walking to the bed.

"Is it okay?" Phoebe knocked on the mirror frame like Merlin, "Why is there no response?"

"Use my fingerprints."

Merlin reached out and brushed away Phoebe's hair that was scattered around her cheeks, and rubbed her slender fingers over her cheekbones, burying them in the long blond hair.He fumbled around the edge of his glasses, and then Phoebe's eyes widened suddenly: "Wow!"

"It's on?" Merlin asked.

Phoebe nodded desperately.

Merlin thought for a while, then tapped on the frame again.The picture displayed in the lens made Phoebe pause, and then she laughed too.

It's a clip of Phoebe singing in Friends.

"I like her," the real Phoebe said with a smile, "and I like her song "Smelly Cat."

Speaking of which, Phoebe half-closed her eyes and gently sang along with the actors in the segment.Her cheek unconsciously moved towards Merlin's palm, and Phoebe sighed comfortably when the soft skin touched his palm.

Merlin was taken aback.

There was nothing quite right about the young girl wearing his glasses, sitting on his bed, snuggling into his palm.But Phoebe didn't seem to realize that her intimacy was inappropriate at all, and she still treated Merlin like a white cat.

But Merlin couldn't treat a real girl like a cat.

He withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and Phoebe, who was humming, stopped suddenly.She raised her head in a daze, and looked at Merlin with gray eyes through the lens: "What's wrong?"

Judging from the tone, it seemed that he was still reluctant to leave Merlin.

"...It's nothing." Merlin hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to raise this issue with Phoebe, so he simply gave up, "Let's eat."

This was the first time Phoebe had dinner with Merlin as a human.

Finally, it's not a fight with him for the food on the plate - of course, the kitchen has prepared fish and chips for two.Phoebe, still wearing Merlin's glasses, simply uses his device to watch "Friends" while eating.

She stared intently at the mirror, holding a piece of fried fish in her hand, hanging in mid-air, unwilling to put it into her mouth for a long time.Merlin couldn't help laughing out loud at this cute look.

"Phoebe," he warned, "your fish is going to drop."

"Oh."

Phoebe regained her senses and stuffed the fish into her mouth, but her delicate face immediately crumpled into a ball.

"It's not tasty," she frowned, "I'll give you all, I'll just eat French fries."

Saying that, Phoebe put all the remaining fried fish on Merlin's plate.

Merlin: "..."

The scene where the white cat turned around and left with his fried fish in its mouth is vivid in my memory.Merlin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This is the return of the fried fish that was stolen earlier, isn't it?"

Phoebe blinked, as if she didn't understand Merlin's words for a while.But in the end, the blankness turned into a smile: "The fried fish you cook is still delicious, even better than Hogwarts."

"Hogwarts?"

"Our school for wizards."

Of course there must be such a school, wizards are not always born with those magic.Merlin really wanted to ask her how her campus life was like, but before he could ask, Phoebe, who was staring at the mirror as if she was empty, suddenly straightened her spine.

Almost immediately, Merlin's computer screen lit up, and Harry Hart's voice came from both the computer and the glasses.

"Merlin," said Harry who was far away in Cambodia, "Eggsy and I have arrived."

Phoebe: "Ah!"

Harry was startled when he heard Phoebe's voice, and then calmly said hello, "Good evening, Phoebe."

"Good evening," Phoebe wanted to nod at first, but stopped when she realized Harry couldn't see, "Uncle Harry."

Merlin:? ? ?

--and many more.

That "Uncle" shocked Merlin deeply, he almost lost his grip on the fork in his hand: "What do you call him?"

"Uncle," repeated Phoebe confused, "Harry's my grandmother's brother's son's er...uncle anyway."

Merlin: "..."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Merlin opened the communication.

"The Hart family has a history of hundreds of years," Harry replied logically, "do I have to tell you all the relatives one by one?"

Phoebe: "Did you eat with Eggsy, Harry? Merlin and I just woke up."

Harry: "...what did you say?"

Merlin knew that he would think too much: "It's not the one you think——"

"—Merlin," said Harry, with a hint of seriousness in his gentle, gentle tone, "you know she's my niece, right?"

Merlin: I just found out 1 minute ago! !

The author has something to say: Haha Harry and Phoebe are relatives. I thought about it. The Harry family should be of high society. It is estimated that there must be relatives with magic skills in the long history. After all, there are only so few people in the wizarding world.The main reason is to give Merlin a surprise! 【you
