How wizards learn science and technology

The atmosphere of the dinner was much better than Merlin imagined.

Mr. Lovegood is a strange man, with strange clothes and a strange personality, and he often mumbles words beyond Merlin's comprehension.But he is a good guy, and he is very curious about the daily life of ordinary people.

Although some of the questions he asked were difficult for Merlin to answer - such as how Muggles dealt with goblins in the yard, Merlin's apartment had no yard, and he had never seen goblins.

Fortunately, there is Phoebe Circle.

She is simply a bridge connecting Mr. Lovegood and ordinary people. No matter how unbelievable topics Mr. Lovegood opens, Phoebe and Luna can pick them up without any obstacles, and then pass them on to Merlin and Harry.

Phoebe also enthusiastically explained to him and Harry what charms were needed to make a dinner table, and then answered her father's questions.

Those who didn't know thought it was some kind of academic lecture dinner, but Merlin didn't dislike this atmosphere, it was much better than three joint trials.

Compared with the Swedish royal family dinner that Eggsy attended, he was really lucky.

A dinner was over quickly, the two twin sisters whispered to each other, waved their wands, and the plates on the table flew to the sink automatically.

Mr. Lovegood walked up to Merlin and very warmly offered to invite him and Harry to tea.

Merlin: "..."

After a whole night, I finally got to the point.

Fortunately, Mr. Lovegood was not like Harry. He was very polite to Merlin: "Please sit down, Mr. Merlin."

Merlin: "Just call me Merlin."

Mr. Lovegood: "I hear it's your code name."

Merlin paused: "Yes, my name—"

Mr Lovegood: "—never mind, never mind, it doesn't matter."

In fact, Mr. Lovegood looked even more cramped than Merlin.

He was wearing a bright yellow coat, and his light blonde hair was bright and weird, but Merlin had seen too many smart people with strange personalities.Therefore, when Mr. Lovegood handed over the deep purple "tea", he just took the teacup calmly and said thank you.

Not to mention, the expectation and curiosity that Phoebe often expresses are exactly the same as Mr. Lovegood at this time.

"Phoebe's mother told me that you and Harry are colleagues." He rubbed his hands and sat down. "She specifically explained that your names are confidential."

According to the rules, this should be the case, but no one jumped out of the stone.Don't the Lovegoods also know Harry's name?

"It's not a secret to those close to us," Merlin explained.

"It really doesn't matter," Mr. Lovegood said politely. "Magic doesn't lie. No matter what you change your name to, the name recorded by the Ministry of Magic after marriage will always be your real name at baptism."

The always dignified predecessor Galahad almost spit out a mouthful of tea.

This clearly showed that Merlin had no chance to speak, the father offered to give the steps, and Merlin no longer hesitated.

He took a deep breath: "That's the best, Mr. Lovegood, I'm here today to discuss with you... about my proposal to Phoebe."

Mr. Lovegood's eyes lit up. "As long as Phoebe is happy."

Harry: "..."

Is there such a father!

As Phoebe's uncle, Harry Hart was very dissatisfied with such a talkative attitude, and he married his daughter!

It's not that Harry has any opinion on Merlin. In fact, he respects his colleague and old friend for many years, but when he thinks about Phoebe... Harry feels uncomfortable.

If Merlin had been a lad under thirty like Eggsy, Harry would have been delighted.But he is not.

"Is it too fast, Merlin?"

Harry frowned.Since Mr. Lovegood has no objection, he can only sing the bad face.

"You've only known Phoebe for a few months, and she's only."

"Wizards get married so early," Mr. Lovegood said seriously, "Phoebe and Luna's mothers also married me after graduation."

Harry: "..."

What a pig teammate, Harry was heartbroken.

He understood why Mr. Lovegood had raised Phoebe and Luna, two completely different daughters who had the same good temper.

Merlin: "I know what you mean, Harry."

As smart as he is, how could he not think of Harry's worries.

Merlin had long sensed the openness of wizards on marriage.Although wizards seem to rarely have divorce issues, they don't care much about age, or even gender.

Of course, that doesn't mean Merlin doesn't care.

"If Phoebe agrees, I would like to get engaged to her first," Merlin took a deep breath and said frankly, "She is still too young, and I want to leave some room for her to change."

Harry: Hehe, the only thing Phoebe might disagree with is that she thinks the engagement is too slow.

Mr. Lovegood's expression suddenly became a little complicated.

He clenched his fists, as if he didn't know how to say the following words.The Lovegood couple are both people immersed in their own world. As a father who loves his daughter, he has already shown the most "normal" side of himself.

"You needn't, Merlin," said Mr. Lovegood.

Merlin didn't make a decision on a whim.

Phoebe was indeed young, out of school, and had been working for less than a year.Even though Merlin felt awkward thinking about the possibility of her leaving him, he still felt that she should be left with a choice.

Otherwise, it would be too much to take advantage of others.

So Merlin just shook his head: "If you agree, sir, I'll convince Phoebe."

Mr. Lovegood was speechless for a moment.

He was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it made sense.So the man who is the father is happy again, as if he is proud that his daughter can find a man who loves her.

"My wife likes you very much," said Mr. Lovegood still looking like a child when referring to Phoebe and Luna's mother. Better get Harry's opinion first."

Harry: "..."

Merlin: "..."

Mr. Lovegood didn't know that Harry had already lost his temper with Merlin because of this matter, and he looked eagerly at Phoebe's uncle: "Harry, what do you think?"

Harry Hart was very helpless.

As a father, Xenophilius Lovegood had already stated that he would obey Phoebe's wishes. Should the uncle still raise objections?

Besides, he wasn't really unreasonable, anyone could tell how much Phoebe liked Merlin.

And Merlin was not in a hurry, he just said that he had done a good job in getting engaged first.This old friend has always acted properly, even if Harry wears tinted glasses, he can't find anything wrong.

"If I was really thinking of Phoebe," Harry sighed, "I should object to this."

Merlin looked like he wanted to say something, but he didn't.

Harry continued: "But Phoebe is not a girl who will be swayed by my opinion or Xenophilius' opinion. As long as Xenophilius has no opinion, I don't think I have the standing to question it."

Merlin: "You are also my colleague after all."

The implication is that of course you have.

However, Harry didn't feel proud, he glared at Merlin: "It's almost enough, do you really want me to give you a punch?"

Coming home from Lovegood House, Merlin felt physically and mentally exhausted.

It's not that he was nervous or worried that Mr. Lovegood would embarrass him, it's just that he had to spend 12 points of energy to deal with it on this occasion.Merlin has directed the agents to save the world countless times, and has also been on the battlefield himself, but he has never visited his lover's father.

As for Phoebe, after Apparating to the apartment, she turned around and threw herself into Merlin's arms.

She raised her head and looked at him expectantly with bright eyes, looking extremely expectant.

If Phoebe Lovegood had ears and a tail at this time, she would stand up in the sky with joy.Merlin smiled. "Phoebe, I think—"

Phoebe: "I do!"

Merlin: "..."

Phoebe happily grabbed Merlin's skirt: "Where's the ring?"

Merlin: "..."

Well, he wasn't surprised at all.

Merlin couldn't help laughing, and he rubbed Phoebe's cheek affectionately with his palm: "I'm so impatient, girl."

"what……"

Which means it's gone, Phoebe is disappointed.She wrinkled her nose and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you meet my father to talk about this?"

"Yes."

Merlin replied.

"But I want to wait two years, if you want, I bought the engagement ring instead."

Phoebe: "..."

We have to wait another two years, two years!

She felt like she was suffocating.Phoebe couldn't help but grasped the corner of Merlin's clothes, and said reluctantly, "W-why?"

Merlin: "You should have some time to think about it."

Phoebe: "Is that why you want me to leave you?"

Merlin caught his breath.

Phoebe looked so sad that her bright eyes dimmed.She was a little dissatisfied, but more of a grievance: "You are always like this, Merlin, you want to push me away, imagine the possibility of me leaving you. I don't need any tolerance to let go, I like you! Do I really Are you happy that your empathy is not with a young boy?"

Before Merlin could respond, Phoebe wrapped his arms around his chest.

"I like you, Merlin," she repeated again, "don't you like me?"

"I do not like."

Phoebe froze.

But before she could recover, Merlin cupped Phoebe's cheek.

She really left him because of his concession, of course Merlin would not be happy.

Just thinking of this possibility, Merlin felt an unbearable flame slowly igniting in his chest.

"Phoebe," he whispered, "I love you."

It's just that life is not a soap opera of life or death, and Merlin still feels that he needs to take this responsibility.

The man solemnly placed a kiss on her lips, touching her lightly, but it was enough to express all his emotions.

He stroked Phoebe's dazed cheek, and said in a deep voice, "That's why I don't want to tie you by my side. The two years are used to plan your future life, not just love. , and your career and life.”

Merlin was willing to walk with her, so he gave her this time.

Hope Phoebe understands this.

She would, his girls were always so smart.

Phoebe stayed where she was for a long, long time, staring deeply at Merlin, until the bright light was rekindled in those gray eyes.

"I see."

she said seriously.

"If you insist, I am willing to wait for two years."

As Phoebe stood on tiptoe, a movement of hers made Merlin lean forward without thinking, so that the girl's kiss fell on his cheek.

But it wasn't over yet, after the kiss, Phoebe immediately hugged Merlin's neck, and buried her cheek into his neck: "I, I love you too, Merlin."

Without even thinking about it, she knew that her cheeks must be flushed.

Merlin laughed and hugged Phoebe, "I know."

Phoebe: "Yeah."

"Any plans for tonight?"

"Promised Star Wars!"

"it is good."
