How wizards learn science and technology
Chapter 30
That witch is lying.
Merlin lost his memory, but his mind was fine.Just by looking at Eggsy's bloody expressions, you can tell that the words "I'm your girlfriend" from Auror's new liaison, Phoebe Lovegood, are not true.
He stayed at the headquarters for two days, learned about the causes and consequences of his memory loss, and confirmed that his physical condition was completely fine. Then he packed his simple luggage and prepared to go home.
Lying is lying, it's just... a young girl, what is her purpose?
Merlin was a little confused.
While thinking, he walked towards his apartment, and before he entered, he saw a white figure lying in front of the steps in the distance.
It is a white long-haired cat.
a cat?
The white cat scratched its front paws, and its gray eyes stared at the pedestrians and vehicles passing by on the street.As a result, Merlin stopped a few steps away from it, and the white cat turned its head as if sensing it.
It saw Merlin and stood up: "Meow."
As if greeting Merlin.
Merlin:? ?
At first glance, it was a house cat. Originally, Merlin planned to check whether it was wearing a collar or something, but when he walked forward, the white cat also started to move at the same time. It climbed up the steps, stopped at the door of Merlin's apartment, and again Turning his head: "Meow."
Then without saying a word, he went in through the pet door of the apartment.
Merlin: "..."
Not really.
Merlin was really surprised.The pet door of the apartment has been locked for a long time. The pet dog adopted when he entered the industry, like Harry Hart's Mr. Pickle, died of life and went to bed with age.For a long time, Merlin had no plans to keep pets, he didn't have much time.
But now, within a few short months of losing his memory, he actually had a white cat?
And the extra cat litter, cat scratching board, cat climbing frame and other pet supplies in the apartment undoubtedly confirmed this point to Merlin.
Now Merlin couldn't help but wonder how many things he had forgotten.
He put down his luggage, packed up the clothes he brought back from the headquarters, then inspected the house, and finally found the white cat in the kitchen.
It was sitting by the stove, its hind legs were on the ground, its body was leaning forward, most of its body was hanging outside, and it was trying to open the closed refrigerator door.
Merlin couldn't bear to look directly at it, did this cat become a sperm?
The point is, it actually worked.
The white cat opened the refrigerator door, dexterously jumped into the refrigerator, and stretched out its claws towards a plate of fried fish.
"Hey, wait!"
Merlin hastily raised his voice to stop the white cat.
He hasn't come back for so long, even if the fried fish has been kept in the refrigerator, he probably won't be able to eat it.
However, when Merlin was trying to take the white cat out of the refrigerator, the white cat rolled over and avoided Merlin's hand.It jumped out of the refrigerator with a "swish", bowed its body and took a few steps back, with a vigilant expression on its face.
"Stay at my house," Merlin laughed out loud, "is it still this attitude?"
He took out the fried fish and smelled it, and it was indeed not fresh.
Cats should eat canned food and cat food, but Merlin believes that he is not someone who feeds pets indiscriminately. His daring to open the refrigerator proves that the little guy has long been used to this kind of treatment.
"I'll make a new one."
Merlin subconsciously opened his mouth, and it was only after he finished speaking that he realized: Living alone, talking to a cat is a bit stupid.
But he seems to have gotten used to this kind of life.
Realizing this, Merlin's mood was a little complicated.
He threw away the fried fish and looked at the white cat.It sat by the door, the vigilance in its eyes had disappeared, and it flicked its tail to the left when it met Merlin's gaze, as if expecting its fried fish meal.
It's a pity that Merlin checked the refrigerator and found that there were no fish pieces left in the house.
He had to give up the plan of frying fish, barely made some pasta, and specially served a meat sauce for the white cat.As soon as he put the plate on the table, the white cat jumped up, and then it froze.
The white cat raised its paws, stared at Rou Jiang motionless for a while, and then let out a "meow".
It circled the plate three times, meowing non-stop, and even arched Merlin's arm holding the fork with his back, as if asking: Where's my fried fish?
"Sorry," Merlin sighed, "I will buy fresh fish tomorrow."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, trying to touch the white cat's head.
But just as his hand touched the white cat's forehead, it took a step back.
When Merlin stretched out his hand, it retreated, and when he stretched out his hand again, it retreated again.
Merlin: "..."
Seeing that the white cat was about to recede to the edge of the table, he finally understood: this cat is not to be touched at all.
It's so cold.
Fortunately, it finally accepted the dinner.
Seeing that Merlin no longer tried to touch its fur, the white cat returned to the plate with graceful steps, and began to finish the meat sauce just out of the pan.
Taking advantage of the meal time, Merlin took out his notebook and began to review the emails from this period of time.
He checked his work mailbox when he was at the Kings|man headquarters, and he had an understanding of the task of cooperating with wizards from his own perspective.Now it was time to catch up on his private life, and there was a good deal of leisure time before Miss Poppy's downfall and Cypher's appearance.
The private mailbox is still the same, full of relatives and friends.Merlin browsed quickly, and just before he lost his patience, he finally found something different.
There were several letters in the mailbox from Phoebe Lovegood.
The number was not much, and she sent it on her own initiative, asking Merlin some questions about the use of computers.It seems that Auror's new liaison officer is a wizard who is willing to learn common people's knowledge, which relieves Merlin, because her previous liaison officer really gave Merlin a headache for a long time.
But how did she know his private email address?
Thinking of the "girlfriend" that the little girl swore again, Merlin suddenly had a weird premonition.
He closed his mailbox, opened Twitter casually, and found that he had followed a new account.
It was that little girl again.
Just look at her "Lovegood" ID.There was nothing on her twitter, it was basically retweeting pictures of cute pets, Merlin thought about it, and clicked on her follow list.
And the content in it made him feel worse the more he read it.
Pop singers, fantasy writers, these are all fine, but what about the promotion of medical science, especially research on mechanical prosthetics?
Even Merlin was surprised by those mechanical legs when he woke up.His memory still stays on the day when he just discovered Miss Bobby's lair, and Merlin doesn't remember anything about the injuries, decisive battle, and follow-up treatment.
Phoebe Lovegood even follows a few scientific accounts that Merlin doesn't think wizards understand, all of which he follows on Twitter.
The white cat sat down behind the notebook after eating and drinking, while Merlin held up the fork, but did not touch the plate of pasta for a long time.
He opened a new window and logged into INS.There was no Phoebe Lovegood in his INS account, but when Merlin entered her last name, a profile picture that was the same as her Twitter account popped up.
Merlin clicked on Phoebe's INS page.
There are not many photos in it, but the latest one is of him.
The background of the photo is Merlin's bedroom in the Kings|man headquarters. He is sitting at his desk, reading the newspaper with a cup of coffee.The angle of view of the photographer is a bit low. According to this angle, she should be on his... bed.
The matching word has only one word: Morning:).
Merlin: "..."
My goodness.
Merlin raised his forehead, and he couldn't help but recall Phoebe Lovegood's appearance: blond, gray-eyed, small, with a delicate and fair face.She was beautiful, like a Tolkien elf.Merlin has never dated / dated this type of woman - the point is, is she an adult? !
Thinking that he might really be dating such a little girl, Merlin's first reaction was: Turn yourself in.
It even developed to the point where she sent Instagram greetings on her bed!
Not feeling well, Merlington hurried through dinner and did what an agent would do when confused: investigate.
He inspected the apartment with trepidation, and was relieved to find that it was at least not as serious as he had imagined: apart from cat hair in the crevices of various upholstered furniture, there was no sign of anyone else living in it, let alone a woman.
Merlin stepped into the study and found two books that did not belong to him on the desk.
——It should have been sent by Roxy in advance.Because Merlin lost his memory, all the items and materials related to the previous mission were temporarily handed over to Agent Lancelot for sorting out.
He picked up the two books, was shocked by the binding that seemed to be in the middle ages, and then saw the titles on the books.
A History of Magic and a Complete Book of Potions.
Think and know it's wizard stuff.
Merlin opened "A History of Magic", and the name "Phoebe Lovegood" was written on the title page.This is not surprising, who else but her?
This should be the textbook for wizards—of course, they must also have textbooks. Thinking about the spells used by the old liaison officer in memory, they will not always be born with talents.
And just by reading the detailed and careful notes in the book, one can know that Phoebe Lovegood was a student with excellent grades when she was in school.Her handwriting is sharp and angular, and if it weren't for the overall slenderness, it would look like it was written by a boy.
Merlin casually flipped through a few pages, and couldn't help but read in.If it weren't for knowing the existence of wizards, this "History of Magic" can be viewed as a set of fantasy novels.
No wonder she follows the author of A Song of Ice and Fire on Twitter.
It seems that I don't have to worry about what to read before going to bed recently.
Merlin closed "A History of Magic", and then turned on the computer in the study.
He had to figure out what his past self had to do with Phoebe Lovegood—and the best way to do that was to ask her himself.
But for some reason, Merlin always had an intuition that this little girl would make the answer very complicated.
At least contact her first.
Merlin thought for a moment, then sent an indistinct email in a polite tone.
Miss Lovegood:
I found two of your books in my study, and I read the first half of A History of Magic with some curiosity.Is the goblin in the part about goblin rebellion in the book the kind from the folklore of ordinary people, or the kind from Disney animation?
Merlin.
Since she personally asked how to use the email attachment, Merlin also attached a document about what the two types of fairies are at the back of the email.
After sending the email, he turned off the computer and went back to the bedroom to get ready to rest.
After taking a shower, Merlin paid special attention to the whereabouts of the white cat, but he didn't find it in the cat's litter.Maybe he was lying behind the radiator, he didn't think about it, and turned off the light in the bedroom.
However, not long after Merlin lay down, the bedroom door opened a small gap.Before he got up, a nimble figure jumped onto the bed.
The white cat walked over to Merlin's pillow, curled itself into a ball next to his shoulder.
Merlin: "..."
"Meow." This is probably the cat version of good night.
Well, now he knew where the exaggerated amount of cat hair was coming from under the pillow.
Merlin considered the possibility of taking it back to the cat's litter, but he gave up. Since he was sleeping on the bed before, let it go.
Just taking advantage of tomorrow's holiday, we have to do a big cleaning, Merlin thought, the problem of hair shedding in long-haired cats is really troublesome.
To do a big cleaning, the first thing to deal with is the cat hair on the sheets, pillowcases and clothes.
Merlin got up early the next morning to start the washing machine.
And when he returned to the bedroom and was about to take away the sheets, the white cat was still asleep.There was no one on the bed, so it simply stretched out its body and lay it horizontally under the pillow, its sleeping position was like an upside-down sentient being.
"brat."
Merlin spoke, but the white cat didn't raise its head, it just patted the bed sheet casually with its tail, as if it heard it.
He didn't remember whether he had named it before, and Merlin tentatively called out a few names that might be "Merlin's pet name", but this time it didn't even bother to move its tail.
"..."
Ok.
He simply gave up the entanglement and grabbed a corner of the bed sheet directly.Only then did the white cat open its eyes, and looked at Merlin defiantly, then jumped off the bed and left the bedroom without looking back.
The last mission was the enemy's first surprise attack, and he didn't have time to clean it up, so the task of cleaning up the cat's hair can be said to be quite arduous.
Merlin spent the entire morning on the washing machine and dryer.
When the housework was about to end, Roxie sent a message, saying that the mission report had been sorted out, would it be sent now.Merlin thought for a while and asked her if she had time to come over.
The mission report alone is not enough, he has no memory of the last mission or private life, Merlin has a lot of questions to answer, especially after discovering the traces of Phoebe Lovegood in his life yesterday .
Within 2 minutes of sending the message, Roxy replied: On the way to your house.
Merlin edited a thank you message, but before sending it out, he felt a white shadow swiftly passing by his feet.
The white cat rushed in like a wind and jumped.
Merlin: "You wait!"
It was too late, it had already jumped into the basket full of freshly dried clothes, rolling happily in it like a three-year-old child who broke into the playground.
...This basket of laundry is a waste of time!
"You little guy," Merlin stepped forward, "it's a bit too much!"
He wanted to take the white cat out of the basket, but the moment before he approached, the white cat jumped out and jumped onto the storage rack above the washing machine.
Merlin had to stop walking.
But when he returned to the washing machine, the white cat happily jumped in again, not only continued to roll, but also stared at Merlin while rolling with gray eyes.
Merlin: "..."
This is not raising a pet, this is offering an ancestor.
But Merlin could tell that the white cat liked being in a soft environment.He thought for a while, instead of stopping it, he might as well give it an old dress and let it roll around happily.
So Merlin went back to the bedroom.
He was going to look for a sweater or an old coat that he didn't wear much, but when Merlin opened the closet, the first thing he saw was a piece of clothing that didn't belong to him.
A black robe of a standard style close to a coat, the material is very good, thick and deep.
It should also be an item sent by Roxy.
But this is indeed not his, the size of the coat is one size smaller, Merlin probably has a little bit of difficulty to wear it.
"Meow."
Just when he was guessing the source of the clothes, the white cat's whiney call made him turn around.It walked to Merlin's feet, rubbed his trouser legs affectionately, and made a purring sound.
Merlin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he ignored it, and the white cat lost interest in the clothes in the basket; it wanted to touch it yesterday, but it jumped far away before touching it, and now it came over to rub him on its own initiative.
It really is the cat's temper.
"I'll give you a coat," Merlin said to the white cat, "you're not allowed to make trouble anymore."
The white cat sat obediently on the ground and looked up at it, wondering if it understood.
So when Roxie walked into Merlin's apartment, the first thing he saw was the white cat curled up on top of Merlin's old sweater and sleeping comfortably, purring all the time.
She looked like she was about to melt.
"My God," the female agent, who can knock the enemy's head into the wall with her bare hands, covered her mouth with a look of inability to extricate herself, "Why is it so cute, I also want to raise one as smart as Fei...... this girl cat."
You obviously have a dog, aren't you afraid that your pet will be jealous?
Merlin grasped the point keenly: "So it's a girl?"
It was a little female cat.
"Of course," Roxy sat down, "you told me that."
"What's it called?"
Roxy's eyes flashed, but he didn't answer.
something wrong.
As the instructor of Kings|man, Merlin almost immediately read the message she was hiding from Roxy's body language.But obviously Roxie didn't intend to say more, under Merlin's scrutinizing eyes, she just raised her eyebrows and took out a USB flash drive from her pocket: "Here is the mission report, besides, Merlin, there is one more thing you need to complete. "
Merlin: "What is it?"
Roxy: "Cypher cleared your memory in order to make you forget the poison | drug formula. The reason for doing this is because her new research needs to use your formula, and now the original research is in the hands of Auror .”
Merlin: "..."
This can be troublesome.
When he woke up, his memory returned to the time when Miss Bobby was not dead a few months ago.Not to mention the formula, he doesn't even remember how he lost his legs. It's been three days, and Merlin still thinks a pair of mechanical legs is very strange.
Fortunately he did not develop any phantom pain syndrome.
"Aurors need me to restore the formula?" Merlin asked.
"Yes."
"Didn't you leave a backup?" Merlin frowned, "This is not my habit."
Roxy shook his head: "At that time, Severus used the potion to infiltrate us, and it was not safe anywhere, so you deleted all the data."
However, even Merlin didn't dare to guarantee that if he was asked to study Miss Bobby's drugs again, his formula would be exactly the same as the one he had forgotten.
However, since he started working, Merlin has completed much more difficult tasks than this.
"I'm doing my best," he nodded. "Who's in charge on the Auror side?"
"Phoebe Lovegood."
"..."
Merlin's expression became subtler visible to the naked eye.
Of course Roxy understood what he was thinking: "Why? It's not intentional. Cypher's information is written in Looney, and Phoebe's ancient magic literature is excellent."
"I have no problem with the Auror's work schedule," Merlin said.
only……
He hesitated for a moment, trying to find a more tactful way: "About that girl... Uh, Roxy, I want to ask you, what happened to what she said the day I woke up?"
Roxy raised the corner of his mouth.
She glanced at the white cat intentionally or unintentionally, its ears moved, but it didn't wake up.
"I'm not Eggsy," Roxie said, "so gossip about your love life, what's going on, why don't you ask Phoebe and me?"
Speaking of which, Roxy looked at his watch, picked up his coat and stood up: "I still have an appointment, you can read the report yourself for work matters."
"Dating?"
Merlin was a little surprised: "When did it happen?"
He didn't remember Roxy having a lover.
Roxy: "The horoscope hasn't been written yet."
"Wait," Merlin stood up, "Did you send a black coat to my apartment?"
Roxy blinked: "Ah? Oh, maybe there was an oversight in tidying up, it's Phoebe's stuff. You and Eggsy were wearing those clothes and sneaked into the wizarding area."
Now Merlin really began to regret his amnesia.
He was still a little curious about what a wizard's life was like, especially after reading A History of Magic yesterday.Today is the 21st century, and wizards today will not be as primitive and backward as in the Middle Ages, so what will they be like now?
Merlin only remembered Lovegood as a wizard, and that little girl was no different from ordinary people from her clothes to her speech.
"I think you'll have to give her the coat back," Merlin said.
"It's up to you if you don't want to go." Obviously Roxie didn't think it was necessary, "Anyway, you always want to see her."
So Roxy must know something.
But she didn't want to tell Merlin about it, the young Lancelot just waved his hand and walked out of the living room.But it didn't take long for Roxie to retreat as if thinking of something: "By the way, a suggestion, you can ask Eggsy about this, and Harry will forget it."
Merlin:? ? ?
"Why?" he asked.
Roxy returned a bright smile.
"He's Phoebe Lovegood's uncle," Roxy reminded kindly, "It was because you were still a sick patient that day that Harry didn't lose his temper."
Merlin: "..."
It's all about what.
Things were getting more and more complicated, Merlin rubbed his forehead with a headache.
He looked at the white cat whose name he still didn't know. The little guy was sleeping very comfortably on the old sweater, and he didn't intend to wake up at all.
So Merlin decided to rewash the clothes that had been tossed by it.
But he went into the laundry room, and before he could throw the clothes back into the washing machine, the white cat followed.
It looks very energetic, and it doesn't look like it was asleep a minute ago.The white cat stopped at the door of the laundry room with graceful steps, sat back on its hind legs, and began to lick its front paws.
Merlin immediately became alert.
"No more rubbing wool in clean clothes," he warned. "In exchange, I'll give you that old dress."
The white cat was so addicted to licking its fur that it didn't even look at him.
Merlin: "I'm talking to you, girl!"
It moved its ears reluctantly, as if refusing to communicate.
Merlin simply put down his clothes and stretched out his hand wittily.
The cat, which was washing white, was caught off guard, and was picked up by Merlin's big hand through its abdomen.
"Meow!!!"
There was a shrill meow, those who didn't know thought he was abusing the cat, Merlin had to hold on to it to prevent the little guy from falling to the ground.He raised the white cat and threatened face to face: "I respect you, you respect me, understand?"
The white cat responded by slapping him across the face.
Merlin: "........."
It can only be said that it is still a face, without bright claws.
But it was enough to have a meat pad smeared viciously, Merlin had no choice but to let go of it, the white cat lightly jumped to the floor, even took a few steps back, and even the hair on its tail exploded.
It stopped staring at the basket of laundry, and the white cat left the laundry room without saying a word.
By the time Merlin finished washing the laundry, it was gone.
Looking at the open pet door, Merlin guessed where the white cat was going.But he wasn't worried, since he opened the pet door, it proved that the white cat itself was free-range.
Taking advantage of it's chance to go out, Merlin put away all the clothes that were drying again.
With new sheets and pillowcases, the day's work is finally done.
But this is just the beginning, the vacation does not mean that Merlin has no work.He returned to the study, took out the USB flash drive that Roxy sent, and opened her mission report.
And the contents of the report even more confirmed Merlin's previous speculation about Phoebe Lovegood.
She played a key role in the mission to apprehend Cypher.
From analyzing the role of Runiwen to being in charge of contacting herself who was deliberately tricked, what Miss Lovegood did was not only to contact Kings|man on behalf of Auror, but she appeared in every link of the mission as a logistical gesture. — the same as Merlin did.
In other words, they are together throughout the mission.
But no matter how Merlin recalled, his mind was blank.
As if he had never experienced these things at all.Merlin struggled for a while, and finally he made a decision.
That is to retrieve the surveillance video from the Kings|man headquarters.
Since she participated in the whole process, there are always traces of her activities in the surveillance video.Although the monitoring of the headquarters does not include every room except the students, the video of the public area is enough.
Phoebe Lovegood is seen almost exclusively in his office and between rooms in the video.
In every shot of her, there is Merlin himself, the petite girl often follows behind him, even to the point where Merlin will bump into him as soon as he stops walking.Other than that, there was nothing else, they basically only talked about the content of the mission, and there was no intimate relationship.
Until Merlin adjusted the surveillance video to when she first appeared.
It was the corridor outside his bedroom. Eggsy and Roxie walked over while talking about something. The current Galahad seemed to have annoyed his colleague, and Roxie had a very rude expression. She knocked on the door.
It was Lovegood who opened the door.
The surveillance camera was facing Merlin's room, so he could clearly see the appearance of the little girl at that time—the hair was messed up, and she was yawning, but the clothes on her body were neat, but the time in the lower right corner of the video was written as early morning.
Merlin: "..."
Oh, God.
He turned off the video and wiped his face.
With such a scene in front of him, plus the photos Lovegood sent to INS, if Merlin denied anything, he might be a scumbag.
Thinking of Phoebe Lovegood's indifference and confusion when he woke up that day, Merlin felt an unprecedented sense of guilt welling up in his heart: she waited for him to wake up, but he didn't remember anything.
What kind of bloody plot is this.
It's so unfair to a young girl like this, although Merlin still can't figure it out, how could he associate with this kind of woman, she is almost a child!
Merlin's mood was quite complicated.
How should this be done?
Merlin, who can support most of the logistics by himself, also had a difficult day: tell her directly, I don't remember you at all, let's break up now-this is simply scum; but he really doesn't have a memory at all, If they continued to communicate as if nothing had happened, then they were not human scum, but animals.
Besides, Roxie also said that she was a relative of Harry—seriously, sleeping with Harry Hart's niece, how did he survive?
After much deliberation, let's meet first.
After all, Phoebe Lovegood didn't say much after saying "I'm your girlfriend" that day.Her composure and serenity was also one of the reasons why Merlin decided she was lying at the time.
And what she was thinking, Merlin had no idea.What to do next, let's talk about it after seeing her in person.
Merlin couldn't help but feel thankful that all his work had been done before then, otherwise he really wasn't sure he could concentrate on the mission report.
With a heavy heart, he opened his private mailbox, and the flashing new email alert surprised him.
She wrote him back.
The moment Merlin opened the letter was a little nervous.
However, there was nothing bloody in Phoebe Lovegood's letter, she just sent a photo, and the creature in the picture shocked Merlin.
It's a short, pointy-eared...creature.Well-dressed, wearing a monocle, standing in front of the counter, talking to the human in front of him.This seems to be some kind of public place, but from the perspective of shooting, the photo was taken secretly.
There is a line of words under the picture: This is the goblin.
It is very close to the image in folklore.
As Merlin continued to read, Phoebe gave a brief introduction to the creature and explained more about the goblin rebellion in History of Magic.
Her writing is concise and clear, even Merlin, who has never been in contact with the wizarding world, can understand everything in the shortest time.It has to be said that no matter what kind of person Phoebe Lovegood is, at least she has a good academic level.
At the end of the letter, she attached a paragraph: "I am very glad that you are interested in wizard books, Merlin. When I sent you before, I was worried that you would be bored. If you have any questions, you can always ask me .”
...It turned out to be given to him.
Of course, Merlin didn't think so. Except for the popular romance novels on the market, he rarely found any book boring.
He thought about it, and wrote back an email to express his thanks.By the way, he mentioned the coat that Roxy sent to his apartment.
Unexpectedly, this time Phoebe Lovegood responded quickly.
"It belongs to my father. Aurors will go to your headquarters to exchange information in a few days. Just leave it to him." She said in the email.
Merlin hesitated for a moment.
His slender fingers hovered over the keyboard for a long time, and finally he typed out what was in his mind.
"Or I can deliver it to you myself," he wrote.
Another part of the network was silent for a long time.
Merlin believed that she must have received it in time, but did not reply immediately due to some considerations.He waited for a while, about seven or eight minutes later, she wrote back.
"No problem. Just tonight, we can have dinner together, do you have a favorite restaurant?"
Merlin: "..."
I was still thinking about the meeting a few minutes ago, but I didn't expect it to come so soon.
Anyway, sooner or later, the sooner we meet, the sooner we can come up with a solution.Merlin, never one to shy away from procrastination, quickly began thinking about restaurants in London.
Exclude the overly formal and expensive ones, and don't consider the fast food trucks and small shops on the side of the road.
Merlin set the date at a restaurant with a quiet environment and decent food. He and Phoebe made an appointment to meet in two hours.
The white cat never came back.
Still no dinner for it, Merlin thought.The fact that the little guy goes out before dinner proves that he must have other places to forage besides his own home.Free-range cats have always been smart and alert, and judging by their attitude of not being touched or being ignored, they are not the kind of pets that people worry about.
So Merlin only left the pet door for it, changed his clothes, and left the apartment.
And when he arrived at the appointed place, Phoebe Lovegood had already arrived.
Merlin pushed open the door of the restaurant, and the bells tied to the glass door made a crisp knocking sound, so the girl sitting by the window raised her head.
She was wearing a beige sweater with a black coat draped over a chair.Her long blond hair was tied into a ponytail, making her look younger than the day Merlin woke up.Gray eyes suddenly lit up when they caught him.
Phoebe stood up, and the young girl looked like she wanted to run straight into his arms, but she held back.
"Merlin!"
She just grabbed the corner of her clothes and said frankly: "I miss you very much."
The author has something to say: A while ago, when I was chatting with your Mrs. Xianyukou, I suddenly asked: Do you think animals after Animagus have estrus?
she:? ? ? ?What do you want, so nasty? ? ? ?
Me: ...I was wondering what to do if Merlin took Phoebe to be sterilized, where are you going! ! !
Thank you for the red phoenix glass color~~Feng Liuliyun Yiya Yuyun Shengge Scorpion:D's mine, readers "murkmagician", "Yuanyinxian", "Jiujiu meow meow" irrigation nutrient solution, love you guys!
Merlin lost his memory, but his mind was fine.Just by looking at Eggsy's bloody expressions, you can tell that the words "I'm your girlfriend" from Auror's new liaison, Phoebe Lovegood, are not true.
He stayed at the headquarters for two days, learned about the causes and consequences of his memory loss, and confirmed that his physical condition was completely fine. Then he packed his simple luggage and prepared to go home.
Lying is lying, it's just... a young girl, what is her purpose?
Merlin was a little confused.
While thinking, he walked towards his apartment, and before he entered, he saw a white figure lying in front of the steps in the distance.
It is a white long-haired cat.
a cat?
The white cat scratched its front paws, and its gray eyes stared at the pedestrians and vehicles passing by on the street.As a result, Merlin stopped a few steps away from it, and the white cat turned its head as if sensing it.
It saw Merlin and stood up: "Meow."
As if greeting Merlin.
Merlin:? ?
At first glance, it was a house cat. Originally, Merlin planned to check whether it was wearing a collar or something, but when he walked forward, the white cat also started to move at the same time. It climbed up the steps, stopped at the door of Merlin's apartment, and again Turning his head: "Meow."
Then without saying a word, he went in through the pet door of the apartment.
Merlin: "..."
Not really.
Merlin was really surprised.The pet door of the apartment has been locked for a long time. The pet dog adopted when he entered the industry, like Harry Hart's Mr. Pickle, died of life and went to bed with age.For a long time, Merlin had no plans to keep pets, he didn't have much time.
But now, within a few short months of losing his memory, he actually had a white cat?
And the extra cat litter, cat scratching board, cat climbing frame and other pet supplies in the apartment undoubtedly confirmed this point to Merlin.
Now Merlin couldn't help but wonder how many things he had forgotten.
He put down his luggage, packed up the clothes he brought back from the headquarters, then inspected the house, and finally found the white cat in the kitchen.
It was sitting by the stove, its hind legs were on the ground, its body was leaning forward, most of its body was hanging outside, and it was trying to open the closed refrigerator door.
Merlin couldn't bear to look directly at it, did this cat become a sperm?
The point is, it actually worked.
The white cat opened the refrigerator door, dexterously jumped into the refrigerator, and stretched out its claws towards a plate of fried fish.
"Hey, wait!"
Merlin hastily raised his voice to stop the white cat.
He hasn't come back for so long, even if the fried fish has been kept in the refrigerator, he probably won't be able to eat it.
However, when Merlin was trying to take the white cat out of the refrigerator, the white cat rolled over and avoided Merlin's hand.It jumped out of the refrigerator with a "swish", bowed its body and took a few steps back, with a vigilant expression on its face.
"Stay at my house," Merlin laughed out loud, "is it still this attitude?"
He took out the fried fish and smelled it, and it was indeed not fresh.
Cats should eat canned food and cat food, but Merlin believes that he is not someone who feeds pets indiscriminately. His daring to open the refrigerator proves that the little guy has long been used to this kind of treatment.
"I'll make a new one."
Merlin subconsciously opened his mouth, and it was only after he finished speaking that he realized: Living alone, talking to a cat is a bit stupid.
But he seems to have gotten used to this kind of life.
Realizing this, Merlin's mood was a little complicated.
He threw away the fried fish and looked at the white cat.It sat by the door, the vigilance in its eyes had disappeared, and it flicked its tail to the left when it met Merlin's gaze, as if expecting its fried fish meal.
It's a pity that Merlin checked the refrigerator and found that there were no fish pieces left in the house.
He had to give up the plan of frying fish, barely made some pasta, and specially served a meat sauce for the white cat.As soon as he put the plate on the table, the white cat jumped up, and then it froze.
The white cat raised its paws, stared at Rou Jiang motionless for a while, and then let out a "meow".
It circled the plate three times, meowing non-stop, and even arched Merlin's arm holding the fork with his back, as if asking: Where's my fried fish?
"Sorry," Merlin sighed, "I will buy fresh fish tomorrow."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, trying to touch the white cat's head.
But just as his hand touched the white cat's forehead, it took a step back.
When Merlin stretched out his hand, it retreated, and when he stretched out his hand again, it retreated again.
Merlin: "..."
Seeing that the white cat was about to recede to the edge of the table, he finally understood: this cat is not to be touched at all.
It's so cold.
Fortunately, it finally accepted the dinner.
Seeing that Merlin no longer tried to touch its fur, the white cat returned to the plate with graceful steps, and began to finish the meat sauce just out of the pan.
Taking advantage of the meal time, Merlin took out his notebook and began to review the emails from this period of time.
He checked his work mailbox when he was at the Kings|man headquarters, and he had an understanding of the task of cooperating with wizards from his own perspective.Now it was time to catch up on his private life, and there was a good deal of leisure time before Miss Poppy's downfall and Cypher's appearance.
The private mailbox is still the same, full of relatives and friends.Merlin browsed quickly, and just before he lost his patience, he finally found something different.
There were several letters in the mailbox from Phoebe Lovegood.
The number was not much, and she sent it on her own initiative, asking Merlin some questions about the use of computers.It seems that Auror's new liaison officer is a wizard who is willing to learn common people's knowledge, which relieves Merlin, because her previous liaison officer really gave Merlin a headache for a long time.
But how did she know his private email address?
Thinking of the "girlfriend" that the little girl swore again, Merlin suddenly had a weird premonition.
He closed his mailbox, opened Twitter casually, and found that he had followed a new account.
It was that little girl again.
Just look at her "Lovegood" ID.There was nothing on her twitter, it was basically retweeting pictures of cute pets, Merlin thought about it, and clicked on her follow list.
And the content in it made him feel worse the more he read it.
Pop singers, fantasy writers, these are all fine, but what about the promotion of medical science, especially research on mechanical prosthetics?
Even Merlin was surprised by those mechanical legs when he woke up.His memory still stays on the day when he just discovered Miss Bobby's lair, and Merlin doesn't remember anything about the injuries, decisive battle, and follow-up treatment.
Phoebe Lovegood even follows a few scientific accounts that Merlin doesn't think wizards understand, all of which he follows on Twitter.
The white cat sat down behind the notebook after eating and drinking, while Merlin held up the fork, but did not touch the plate of pasta for a long time.
He opened a new window and logged into INS.There was no Phoebe Lovegood in his INS account, but when Merlin entered her last name, a profile picture that was the same as her Twitter account popped up.
Merlin clicked on Phoebe's INS page.
There are not many photos in it, but the latest one is of him.
The background of the photo is Merlin's bedroom in the Kings|man headquarters. He is sitting at his desk, reading the newspaper with a cup of coffee.The angle of view of the photographer is a bit low. According to this angle, she should be on his... bed.
The matching word has only one word: Morning:).
Merlin: "..."
My goodness.
Merlin raised his forehead, and he couldn't help but recall Phoebe Lovegood's appearance: blond, gray-eyed, small, with a delicate and fair face.She was beautiful, like a Tolkien elf.Merlin has never dated / dated this type of woman - the point is, is she an adult? !
Thinking that he might really be dating such a little girl, Merlin's first reaction was: Turn yourself in.
It even developed to the point where she sent Instagram greetings on her bed!
Not feeling well, Merlington hurried through dinner and did what an agent would do when confused: investigate.
He inspected the apartment with trepidation, and was relieved to find that it was at least not as serious as he had imagined: apart from cat hair in the crevices of various upholstered furniture, there was no sign of anyone else living in it, let alone a woman.
Merlin stepped into the study and found two books that did not belong to him on the desk.
——It should have been sent by Roxy in advance.Because Merlin lost his memory, all the items and materials related to the previous mission were temporarily handed over to Agent Lancelot for sorting out.
He picked up the two books, was shocked by the binding that seemed to be in the middle ages, and then saw the titles on the books.
A History of Magic and a Complete Book of Potions.
Think and know it's wizard stuff.
Merlin opened "A History of Magic", and the name "Phoebe Lovegood" was written on the title page.This is not surprising, who else but her?
This should be the textbook for wizards—of course, they must also have textbooks. Thinking about the spells used by the old liaison officer in memory, they will not always be born with talents.
And just by reading the detailed and careful notes in the book, one can know that Phoebe Lovegood was a student with excellent grades when she was in school.Her handwriting is sharp and angular, and if it weren't for the overall slenderness, it would look like it was written by a boy.
Merlin casually flipped through a few pages, and couldn't help but read in.If it weren't for knowing the existence of wizards, this "History of Magic" can be viewed as a set of fantasy novels.
No wonder she follows the author of A Song of Ice and Fire on Twitter.
It seems that I don't have to worry about what to read before going to bed recently.
Merlin closed "A History of Magic", and then turned on the computer in the study.
He had to figure out what his past self had to do with Phoebe Lovegood—and the best way to do that was to ask her himself.
But for some reason, Merlin always had an intuition that this little girl would make the answer very complicated.
At least contact her first.
Merlin thought for a moment, then sent an indistinct email in a polite tone.
Miss Lovegood:
I found two of your books in my study, and I read the first half of A History of Magic with some curiosity.Is the goblin in the part about goblin rebellion in the book the kind from the folklore of ordinary people, or the kind from Disney animation?
Merlin.
Since she personally asked how to use the email attachment, Merlin also attached a document about what the two types of fairies are at the back of the email.
After sending the email, he turned off the computer and went back to the bedroom to get ready to rest.
After taking a shower, Merlin paid special attention to the whereabouts of the white cat, but he didn't find it in the cat's litter.Maybe he was lying behind the radiator, he didn't think about it, and turned off the light in the bedroom.
However, not long after Merlin lay down, the bedroom door opened a small gap.Before he got up, a nimble figure jumped onto the bed.
The white cat walked over to Merlin's pillow, curled itself into a ball next to his shoulder.
Merlin: "..."
"Meow." This is probably the cat version of good night.
Well, now he knew where the exaggerated amount of cat hair was coming from under the pillow.
Merlin considered the possibility of taking it back to the cat's litter, but he gave up. Since he was sleeping on the bed before, let it go.
Just taking advantage of tomorrow's holiday, we have to do a big cleaning, Merlin thought, the problem of hair shedding in long-haired cats is really troublesome.
To do a big cleaning, the first thing to deal with is the cat hair on the sheets, pillowcases and clothes.
Merlin got up early the next morning to start the washing machine.
And when he returned to the bedroom and was about to take away the sheets, the white cat was still asleep.There was no one on the bed, so it simply stretched out its body and lay it horizontally under the pillow, its sleeping position was like an upside-down sentient being.
"brat."
Merlin spoke, but the white cat didn't raise its head, it just patted the bed sheet casually with its tail, as if it heard it.
He didn't remember whether he had named it before, and Merlin tentatively called out a few names that might be "Merlin's pet name", but this time it didn't even bother to move its tail.
"..."
Ok.
He simply gave up the entanglement and grabbed a corner of the bed sheet directly.Only then did the white cat open its eyes, and looked at Merlin defiantly, then jumped off the bed and left the bedroom without looking back.
The last mission was the enemy's first surprise attack, and he didn't have time to clean it up, so the task of cleaning up the cat's hair can be said to be quite arduous.
Merlin spent the entire morning on the washing machine and dryer.
When the housework was about to end, Roxie sent a message, saying that the mission report had been sorted out, would it be sent now.Merlin thought for a while and asked her if she had time to come over.
The mission report alone is not enough, he has no memory of the last mission or private life, Merlin has a lot of questions to answer, especially after discovering the traces of Phoebe Lovegood in his life yesterday .
Within 2 minutes of sending the message, Roxy replied: On the way to your house.
Merlin edited a thank you message, but before sending it out, he felt a white shadow swiftly passing by his feet.
The white cat rushed in like a wind and jumped.
Merlin: "You wait!"
It was too late, it had already jumped into the basket full of freshly dried clothes, rolling happily in it like a three-year-old child who broke into the playground.
...This basket of laundry is a waste of time!
"You little guy," Merlin stepped forward, "it's a bit too much!"
He wanted to take the white cat out of the basket, but the moment before he approached, the white cat jumped out and jumped onto the storage rack above the washing machine.
Merlin had to stop walking.
But when he returned to the washing machine, the white cat happily jumped in again, not only continued to roll, but also stared at Merlin while rolling with gray eyes.
Merlin: "..."
This is not raising a pet, this is offering an ancestor.
But Merlin could tell that the white cat liked being in a soft environment.He thought for a while, instead of stopping it, he might as well give it an old dress and let it roll around happily.
So Merlin went back to the bedroom.
He was going to look for a sweater or an old coat that he didn't wear much, but when Merlin opened the closet, the first thing he saw was a piece of clothing that didn't belong to him.
A black robe of a standard style close to a coat, the material is very good, thick and deep.
It should also be an item sent by Roxy.
But this is indeed not his, the size of the coat is one size smaller, Merlin probably has a little bit of difficulty to wear it.
"Meow."
Just when he was guessing the source of the clothes, the white cat's whiney call made him turn around.It walked to Merlin's feet, rubbed his trouser legs affectionately, and made a purring sound.
Merlin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he ignored it, and the white cat lost interest in the clothes in the basket; it wanted to touch it yesterday, but it jumped far away before touching it, and now it came over to rub him on its own initiative.
It really is the cat's temper.
"I'll give you a coat," Merlin said to the white cat, "you're not allowed to make trouble anymore."
The white cat sat obediently on the ground and looked up at it, wondering if it understood.
So when Roxie walked into Merlin's apartment, the first thing he saw was the white cat curled up on top of Merlin's old sweater and sleeping comfortably, purring all the time.
She looked like she was about to melt.
"My God," the female agent, who can knock the enemy's head into the wall with her bare hands, covered her mouth with a look of inability to extricate herself, "Why is it so cute, I also want to raise one as smart as Fei...... this girl cat."
You obviously have a dog, aren't you afraid that your pet will be jealous?
Merlin grasped the point keenly: "So it's a girl?"
It was a little female cat.
"Of course," Roxy sat down, "you told me that."
"What's it called?"
Roxy's eyes flashed, but he didn't answer.
something wrong.
As the instructor of Kings|man, Merlin almost immediately read the message she was hiding from Roxy's body language.But obviously Roxie didn't intend to say more, under Merlin's scrutinizing eyes, she just raised her eyebrows and took out a USB flash drive from her pocket: "Here is the mission report, besides, Merlin, there is one more thing you need to complete. "
Merlin: "What is it?"
Roxy: "Cypher cleared your memory in order to make you forget the poison | drug formula. The reason for doing this is because her new research needs to use your formula, and now the original research is in the hands of Auror .”
Merlin: "..."
This can be troublesome.
When he woke up, his memory returned to the time when Miss Bobby was not dead a few months ago.Not to mention the formula, he doesn't even remember how he lost his legs. It's been three days, and Merlin still thinks a pair of mechanical legs is very strange.
Fortunately he did not develop any phantom pain syndrome.
"Aurors need me to restore the formula?" Merlin asked.
"Yes."
"Didn't you leave a backup?" Merlin frowned, "This is not my habit."
Roxy shook his head: "At that time, Severus used the potion to infiltrate us, and it was not safe anywhere, so you deleted all the data."
However, even Merlin didn't dare to guarantee that if he was asked to study Miss Bobby's drugs again, his formula would be exactly the same as the one he had forgotten.
However, since he started working, Merlin has completed much more difficult tasks than this.
"I'm doing my best," he nodded. "Who's in charge on the Auror side?"
"Phoebe Lovegood."
"..."
Merlin's expression became subtler visible to the naked eye.
Of course Roxy understood what he was thinking: "Why? It's not intentional. Cypher's information is written in Looney, and Phoebe's ancient magic literature is excellent."
"I have no problem with the Auror's work schedule," Merlin said.
only……
He hesitated for a moment, trying to find a more tactful way: "About that girl... Uh, Roxy, I want to ask you, what happened to what she said the day I woke up?"
Roxy raised the corner of his mouth.
She glanced at the white cat intentionally or unintentionally, its ears moved, but it didn't wake up.
"I'm not Eggsy," Roxie said, "so gossip about your love life, what's going on, why don't you ask Phoebe and me?"
Speaking of which, Roxy looked at his watch, picked up his coat and stood up: "I still have an appointment, you can read the report yourself for work matters."
"Dating?"
Merlin was a little surprised: "When did it happen?"
He didn't remember Roxy having a lover.
Roxy: "The horoscope hasn't been written yet."
"Wait," Merlin stood up, "Did you send a black coat to my apartment?"
Roxy blinked: "Ah? Oh, maybe there was an oversight in tidying up, it's Phoebe's stuff. You and Eggsy were wearing those clothes and sneaked into the wizarding area."
Now Merlin really began to regret his amnesia.
He was still a little curious about what a wizard's life was like, especially after reading A History of Magic yesterday.Today is the 21st century, and wizards today will not be as primitive and backward as in the Middle Ages, so what will they be like now?
Merlin only remembered Lovegood as a wizard, and that little girl was no different from ordinary people from her clothes to her speech.
"I think you'll have to give her the coat back," Merlin said.
"It's up to you if you don't want to go." Obviously Roxie didn't think it was necessary, "Anyway, you always want to see her."
So Roxy must know something.
But she didn't want to tell Merlin about it, the young Lancelot just waved his hand and walked out of the living room.But it didn't take long for Roxie to retreat as if thinking of something: "By the way, a suggestion, you can ask Eggsy about this, and Harry will forget it."
Merlin:? ? ?
"Why?" he asked.
Roxy returned a bright smile.
"He's Phoebe Lovegood's uncle," Roxy reminded kindly, "It was because you were still a sick patient that day that Harry didn't lose his temper."
Merlin: "..."
It's all about what.
Things were getting more and more complicated, Merlin rubbed his forehead with a headache.
He looked at the white cat whose name he still didn't know. The little guy was sleeping very comfortably on the old sweater, and he didn't intend to wake up at all.
So Merlin decided to rewash the clothes that had been tossed by it.
But he went into the laundry room, and before he could throw the clothes back into the washing machine, the white cat followed.
It looks very energetic, and it doesn't look like it was asleep a minute ago.The white cat stopped at the door of the laundry room with graceful steps, sat back on its hind legs, and began to lick its front paws.
Merlin immediately became alert.
"No more rubbing wool in clean clothes," he warned. "In exchange, I'll give you that old dress."
The white cat was so addicted to licking its fur that it didn't even look at him.
Merlin: "I'm talking to you, girl!"
It moved its ears reluctantly, as if refusing to communicate.
Merlin simply put down his clothes and stretched out his hand wittily.
The cat, which was washing white, was caught off guard, and was picked up by Merlin's big hand through its abdomen.
"Meow!!!"
There was a shrill meow, those who didn't know thought he was abusing the cat, Merlin had to hold on to it to prevent the little guy from falling to the ground.He raised the white cat and threatened face to face: "I respect you, you respect me, understand?"
The white cat responded by slapping him across the face.
Merlin: "........."
It can only be said that it is still a face, without bright claws.
But it was enough to have a meat pad smeared viciously, Merlin had no choice but to let go of it, the white cat lightly jumped to the floor, even took a few steps back, and even the hair on its tail exploded.
It stopped staring at the basket of laundry, and the white cat left the laundry room without saying a word.
By the time Merlin finished washing the laundry, it was gone.
Looking at the open pet door, Merlin guessed where the white cat was going.But he wasn't worried, since he opened the pet door, it proved that the white cat itself was free-range.
Taking advantage of it's chance to go out, Merlin put away all the clothes that were drying again.
With new sheets and pillowcases, the day's work is finally done.
But this is just the beginning, the vacation does not mean that Merlin has no work.He returned to the study, took out the USB flash drive that Roxy sent, and opened her mission report.
And the contents of the report even more confirmed Merlin's previous speculation about Phoebe Lovegood.
She played a key role in the mission to apprehend Cypher.
From analyzing the role of Runiwen to being in charge of contacting herself who was deliberately tricked, what Miss Lovegood did was not only to contact Kings|man on behalf of Auror, but she appeared in every link of the mission as a logistical gesture. — the same as Merlin did.
In other words, they are together throughout the mission.
But no matter how Merlin recalled, his mind was blank.
As if he had never experienced these things at all.Merlin struggled for a while, and finally he made a decision.
That is to retrieve the surveillance video from the Kings|man headquarters.
Since she participated in the whole process, there are always traces of her activities in the surveillance video.Although the monitoring of the headquarters does not include every room except the students, the video of the public area is enough.
Phoebe Lovegood is seen almost exclusively in his office and between rooms in the video.
In every shot of her, there is Merlin himself, the petite girl often follows behind him, even to the point where Merlin will bump into him as soon as he stops walking.Other than that, there was nothing else, they basically only talked about the content of the mission, and there was no intimate relationship.
Until Merlin adjusted the surveillance video to when she first appeared.
It was the corridor outside his bedroom. Eggsy and Roxie walked over while talking about something. The current Galahad seemed to have annoyed his colleague, and Roxie had a very rude expression. She knocked on the door.
It was Lovegood who opened the door.
The surveillance camera was facing Merlin's room, so he could clearly see the appearance of the little girl at that time—the hair was messed up, and she was yawning, but the clothes on her body were neat, but the time in the lower right corner of the video was written as early morning.
Merlin: "..."
Oh, God.
He turned off the video and wiped his face.
With such a scene in front of him, plus the photos Lovegood sent to INS, if Merlin denied anything, he might be a scumbag.
Thinking of Phoebe Lovegood's indifference and confusion when he woke up that day, Merlin felt an unprecedented sense of guilt welling up in his heart: she waited for him to wake up, but he didn't remember anything.
What kind of bloody plot is this.
It's so unfair to a young girl like this, although Merlin still can't figure it out, how could he associate with this kind of woman, she is almost a child!
Merlin's mood was quite complicated.
How should this be done?
Merlin, who can support most of the logistics by himself, also had a difficult day: tell her directly, I don't remember you at all, let's break up now-this is simply scum; but he really doesn't have a memory at all, If they continued to communicate as if nothing had happened, then they were not human scum, but animals.
Besides, Roxie also said that she was a relative of Harry—seriously, sleeping with Harry Hart's niece, how did he survive?
After much deliberation, let's meet first.
After all, Phoebe Lovegood didn't say much after saying "I'm your girlfriend" that day.Her composure and serenity was also one of the reasons why Merlin decided she was lying at the time.
And what she was thinking, Merlin had no idea.What to do next, let's talk about it after seeing her in person.
Merlin couldn't help but feel thankful that all his work had been done before then, otherwise he really wasn't sure he could concentrate on the mission report.
With a heavy heart, he opened his private mailbox, and the flashing new email alert surprised him.
She wrote him back.
The moment Merlin opened the letter was a little nervous.
However, there was nothing bloody in Phoebe Lovegood's letter, she just sent a photo, and the creature in the picture shocked Merlin.
It's a short, pointy-eared...creature.Well-dressed, wearing a monocle, standing in front of the counter, talking to the human in front of him.This seems to be some kind of public place, but from the perspective of shooting, the photo was taken secretly.
There is a line of words under the picture: This is the goblin.
It is very close to the image in folklore.
As Merlin continued to read, Phoebe gave a brief introduction to the creature and explained more about the goblin rebellion in History of Magic.
Her writing is concise and clear, even Merlin, who has never been in contact with the wizarding world, can understand everything in the shortest time.It has to be said that no matter what kind of person Phoebe Lovegood is, at least she has a good academic level.
At the end of the letter, she attached a paragraph: "I am very glad that you are interested in wizard books, Merlin. When I sent you before, I was worried that you would be bored. If you have any questions, you can always ask me .”
...It turned out to be given to him.
Of course, Merlin didn't think so. Except for the popular romance novels on the market, he rarely found any book boring.
He thought about it, and wrote back an email to express his thanks.By the way, he mentioned the coat that Roxy sent to his apartment.
Unexpectedly, this time Phoebe Lovegood responded quickly.
"It belongs to my father. Aurors will go to your headquarters to exchange information in a few days. Just leave it to him." She said in the email.
Merlin hesitated for a moment.
His slender fingers hovered over the keyboard for a long time, and finally he typed out what was in his mind.
"Or I can deliver it to you myself," he wrote.
Another part of the network was silent for a long time.
Merlin believed that she must have received it in time, but did not reply immediately due to some considerations.He waited for a while, about seven or eight minutes later, she wrote back.
"No problem. Just tonight, we can have dinner together, do you have a favorite restaurant?"
Merlin: "..."
I was still thinking about the meeting a few minutes ago, but I didn't expect it to come so soon.
Anyway, sooner or later, the sooner we meet, the sooner we can come up with a solution.Merlin, never one to shy away from procrastination, quickly began thinking about restaurants in London.
Exclude the overly formal and expensive ones, and don't consider the fast food trucks and small shops on the side of the road.
Merlin set the date at a restaurant with a quiet environment and decent food. He and Phoebe made an appointment to meet in two hours.
The white cat never came back.
Still no dinner for it, Merlin thought.The fact that the little guy goes out before dinner proves that he must have other places to forage besides his own home.Free-range cats have always been smart and alert, and judging by their attitude of not being touched or being ignored, they are not the kind of pets that people worry about.
So Merlin only left the pet door for it, changed his clothes, and left the apartment.
And when he arrived at the appointed place, Phoebe Lovegood had already arrived.
Merlin pushed open the door of the restaurant, and the bells tied to the glass door made a crisp knocking sound, so the girl sitting by the window raised her head.
She was wearing a beige sweater with a black coat draped over a chair.Her long blond hair was tied into a ponytail, making her look younger than the day Merlin woke up.Gray eyes suddenly lit up when they caught him.
Phoebe stood up, and the young girl looked like she wanted to run straight into his arms, but she held back.
"Merlin!"
She just grabbed the corner of her clothes and said frankly: "I miss you very much."
The author has something to say: A while ago, when I was chatting with your Mrs. Xianyukou, I suddenly asked: Do you think animals after Animagus have estrus?
she:? ? ? ?What do you want, so nasty? ? ? ?
Me: ...I was wondering what to do if Merlin took Phoebe to be sterilized, where are you going! ! !
Thank you for the red phoenix glass color~~Feng Liuliyun Yiya Yuyun Shengge Scorpion:D's mine, readers "murkmagician", "Yuanyinxian", "Jiujiu meow meow" irrigation nutrient solution, love you guys!
