How wizards learn science and technology

Merlin was embarrassed.

Under Phoebe Lovegood's bright eyes, he doesn't even know how to start.After taking his seat, Merlin cleared his throat: "Miss Lovegood..."

"Just call me Phoebe."

"Phoebe."

He handed Phoebe the black coat that hung over his forearm: "Thank you very much for your help, especially as I heard from the agent that this coat has played a big role."

"It's okay," said Phoebe, taking the wizard robe, "it's always in my apartment anyway, and Dad never wears it."

One sentence is enough to prove that she is not living with her family now.

Strictly speaking, this has nothing to do with Merlin, but he just doesn't care - since the close relationship in the past is already a fact, then where has it reached?Merlin wanted to ask, but he couldn't ask.

Merlin: "Unfortunately, I forgot that experience."

However, when he blurted out this sentence, he regretted it, because what Merlin forgot was not just that memory.The little girl sitting opposite him was also one of the victims of this accident.

But Phoebe is not a sentimental person.

She didn't show any distress: "You want to visit the world of wizards, I can take you there, it's okay."

Phoebe was very serious when she said this, her pretty face was full of expectations, like a small animal waiting for a response from her companion.

The more she behaved like this, the more guilty Merlin felt.

"About this spell I suffered—"

"—Forgetting Curse."

"Is there no way to recover?"

Phoebe shook her head.

"It's difficult," she said regretfully, "and the power of the spell is also related to the ability of the caster. Cypher is a pretty formidable opponent. She was lucky that she didn't use the Unforgivable Curse during the torture." .”

"...I'm sorry." Merlin replied.

His words brought a blank look on Phoebe's face.

"What?" she asked.

"About what I forgot," Merlin explained, "it's not fair to you."

Phoebe blinked.

Her confusion made Merlin restless: "On the day I woke up, you said you were my... lover."

"what!"

The young girl let out a slight exclamation, and she covered her mouth: "This, this matter."

Merlin: "..."

The psychological construction before going out all turned into the initial suspicion when seeing Phoebe Lovegood's reaction like this.

The idea was good, but when she really answered in the affirmative, the first reaction that appeared in Merlin's mind remained unchanged—she was lying.

There was a serious disagreement between reason and feelings, and Merlin couldn't care less about guilt.

"At first I didn't believe your words, Phoebe," he said, and it was no surprise that the girl sitting across from him flinched a little, "because the expressions of the other agents are enough to explain everything."

Even Harry Hart looked shocked at the time, and Merlin couldn't remember the last time he lost his composure like this.

Phoebe sighed: "If you still think so now, you wouldn't take the initiative to ask me out."

Merlin: "Yes."

And Merlin really couldn't think of her motive for lying - what was she trying to do, he wasn't an idol star, the kind who was so handsome that tens of thousands of girls couldn't close their legs.

"I checked the surveillance at Kings|man's headquarters this morning," he continued, "and saw the evidence that you... stayed in my room overnight. I have to face the fact."

At that moment Phoebe Lovegood's expression became extremely complicated.

"That, Merlin."

The girl's voice was barely audible, her cheeks flushed slightly.

"Actually, it's not as far as you think."

Merlin: "..."

Thank goodness.

I don't know why, but what she said made Merlin faintly heave a sigh of relief, and even lessened the degree of self-blame.

From one hundred to 99.

He showed a dazed expression: "Then..."

Then Merlin understood why he was able to survive under Harry Hart until now!

Seeing Phoebe's embarrassed expression, Merlin couldn't help laughing out loud: "This is very strange, I can understand."

Discussing things between two people as a bystander is strange, but quite effective.At least Merlin felt that the distance between himself and the "scumbag" was a little bit farther.

Merlin's expression fell into Phoebe's eyes.

Her clear gaze was always on Merlin, and never left.When she noticed the change in Merlin's expression, Phoebe also raised the corners of her mouth.

"You don't have to feel guilty, Merlin," she said softly. "It's really a pity to lose the memory of this period of time. Especially I think it's worth keeping for a lifetime, but you have forgotten it."

"I'm very……"

"Don't be sorry."

Phoebe cut him off earnestly.

"We can make up the memory, it's just a few months. I was thinking about what to do after you took Cypher's forgetting curse, and I have already thought of a way."

The young girl straightened her spine, she stretched out her hand cautiously, and her fingertips lightly touched the back of Merlin's hand.

The soft touch made Merlin's mind tense slightly.

Phoebe smiled brightly. "Let's start over, shall we?"

Now Merlin probably understood why his past self liked her.

Beautiful, smart, and extremely rational.Not to mention anything else, just facing such a pair of bright and hopeful eyes, who would be indifferent?

Even Merlin couldn't think of a better solution.

So he nodded solemnly, "If you will, Phoebe."

"Of course I would!"

She withdrew her hand from Merlin's, but the warmth remained on his skin.Phoebe picked up the menu: "I'm so hungry, do you have any recommended set meals?"

……

5 minute later.

Phoebe rested her chin and looked at the menu, her delicate face was full of embarrassment.

"If Southeast Asian cuisine doesn't suit your taste," Merlin said, "we can change to another one."

"No, I just—"

She sighed.

"I love Asian food, but I miss your fish and chips even more."

"..."

"Merlin," Phoebe said tentatively, her eyes blinking and blinking, as alert as a cat's, "Next time I'll go to your house to fry fish, okay?"

Why does this taste the same as the white cat he raised.

Merlin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

When he was young, he had had long-term relationships with several outstanding women, but he had never had such a small and fresh relationship.

But it was quite appropriate to imagine the scene of cooking for Phoebe.

"Of course." Merlin readily agreed.

Phoebe smiled immediately. This appearance really reminded him of the white cat, especially the way it happily jumped into the clothes basket and rolled around, almost exactly the same.

"I'll go with fresh ingredients!"

After getting the promise for the next time, Phoebe didn't bother with the menu anymore, and decided on the type of dinner with great interest.

This time the date was much easier than Merlin imagined.

There was no expected embarrassment and silence, nor any sentimental memories.In fact, the question about that "History of Magic" alone was enough for two people to discuss it all night.

Phoebe is happy to share her knowledge with someone, especially Merlin.

After the time for dinner, she didn't even feel like talking enough.

Phoebe was ahead when leaving the restaurant, and she stopped on the street.Phoebe turned around and looked up at Merlin.

Merlin: "I'll take you home."

Phoebe: "No, I'll Apparate back. It's easier than Muggle transportation."

Merlin didn't ask what apparation was. He had seen Phoebe Lovegood's ability to disappear out of thin air the day he first woke up.

"Well then," he said, "good night."

But she didn't mean to answer.

Not only did she not answer, she even took two steps forward, closing the distance with Merlin.

Merlin:?

The little girl stared into Merlin's eyes, and she weighed her toes, but that had little effect, as Merlin was simply too tall.

But he understood Phoebe's intentions.

So Merlin bent slightly, bent down | body.

So Phoebe had enough of him.

Sensing Merlin's intentions, Phoebe slightly widened her eyes, then smiled.

Phoebe clutched the hem of his shirt with one hand, and as she approached, the smell of orchid-scented milk shampoo hit her.Merlin was stunned for a moment, he always felt that he had smelled this smell somewhere before.

She kissed him lightly on the left cheek.

The soft and warm skin parted after a little contact, and Phoebe returned to the original place, her face flushed with unconcealable joy and nostalgia: "So good night, Merlin."

After speaking, she pulled out her wand from her coat and disappeared into the silent night.

As for the familiar smell, Merlin quickly found the source.

He took off his coat, took a shower, and changed into pajamas.The moment I lay down on the bed, I was enveloped in a smell similar to Phoebe Lovegood - it was very light, almost inaudible.

Merlin:? ? ?

Since she said that the two of them "haven't reached that point yet", where did the smell come from?

Just when Merlin was wondering, the door of the bedroom opened quietly, and a fluffy white head poked out the door.

The white cat glanced at Merlin with its gray eyes, and ran over without saying a word.

"wait."

Merlin turned over and moved between the white cat and the bed.It stopped and looked at Merlin with its head raised, as if it didn't quite understand why he stopped it.

After a night of tossing outside, you want to run to bed when you come back?

Not sure how my past self dealt with it, but Merlin just got new sheets today.

He pulled out a wet wipe from the cabinet and bent down.

Just before approaching the white cat, the little guy took three steps back and became vigilant.

Merlin had no choice but to point to the black plum blossom marks left on the floor: "Isn't that too much, girl?"

This was supposed to be a big project, and Merlin was even ready to grab it by force - after all, white cats don't let people touch them.But surprisingly, it seemed to understand Merlin's intentions.

The white cat tilted its head, lingered for a while, then approached Merlin cautiously.

Merlin also cautiously stretched out his hand towards it, pinching its paw.During this period, he kept a close eye on the white cat's movements, for fear that it would change its mind temporarily and slap him again.

Fortunately not.

He successfully wiped the white cat's four paws clean, and then it took a deep leap and landed on his shoulder.

This startled Merlin.

The white cat gave a soft "meow" and rubbed Merlin's chin with its furry cheek.Then Merlin smelled it again, something like Phoebe's shampoo.

But the white cat didn't notice it, it jumped on the bed sheet, found the crack of the pillow where it usually sleeps, and curled up on the spot.

what happened?

Merlin looked at the white cat and frowned.

The author has something to say: Don't worry, Mrs. Mei, even if there is an idol star in front of you, Phoebe will choose you! !

I came across an orange and white cat when I came home yesterday. Like Phoebe, I was not allowed to touch it, but it was only allowed to rub against me. I can really understand Merlin's mood quq!
