The author has something to say:

The setting is a peaceful world, that is, baby Harry directly kills Voldemort completely, so there is no war.Then it was still Cammy who went to France with her mother when she was a child.The unofficial Zhihu style is used, and it is regarded as a Zhihu website dedicated to wizards, and there are no Muggles on it.

The early plan for this episode is to create an article about two people being neighbors based on this peaceful world setting, but it is different from the original setting that I told some readers, because I changed it.Regarding this article, I recently saw a movie about the male and female protagonists who misunderstood each other as deaf-mute. I think this plot is a bit interesting.Then I have been revising the text for the past few days, and now the text has been completely revised, so there should be no problem.

Question: What large-scale social death scenes have you experienced?

eat half the moon

Thank you for the invitation, recently I just experienced a social death incident...

Don't hide anymore, the guy next door shouldn't be playing this game.

Let me talk about some of my situation first, for fear that there will be misunderstandings later.The respondent is an English-French mixed-race wizard, female, her parents divorced since she was a child, and she has been living with her mother in France, rarely returning to her British father. She is a professor of astronomy. She used to work in a Muggle university in France. She is currently in the UK. Now the main job is to do some research at home alone, because I was bored, I recently found a job in a museum, and occasionally I still go to some schools to give lectures.The income is the standard of an ordinary professor, so I won’t disclose it in detail, you can estimate it yourself.

1.

Just in April, I broke up with my ex not long ago. I was in a mess and wanted to change the environment, so I decided to go back to my hometown in England to stay for a while. I originally wanted to stay for a few weeks, but my dad detained me. Said that I came back with great difficulty, and I had to accompany him for at least half a year before leaving, and asked me to cultivate a relationship with the family here by the way.I think my dad has not been easy these years, so I just listen to his words and spend more time.

But after staying at home for half a month, I moved out by myself. It’s not that my relationship with my dad is bad, but I just can’t stand my stepmother acting like my dad in front of me, but secretly in another way, and she’s always instigating My dad asked me to go on a blind date with the son of one of her relatives, and I don't agree with her in many ways...I moved out anyway.

Out of professional habits, I found an apartment with a large balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows. This apartment was okay, but I mainly thought it was relatively close to the museum where I work, so I wasn’t too picky, and my dad probably Seeing that my stepmother and I couldn't get along, I felt wronged, so she helped me pay the rent for one year in one go.Uh~ Now he has a very legitimate reason to detain me in England for a year.

The landlord told me that the guy who lived next door to me was not very talkative, but he was a nice person. If I encountered any problems that I couldn’t solve by myself, I could ask him for help. I didn’t pay much attention at the time.On the first day I moved in, I wanted to visit my neighbor, but the landlord told me that he was on a business trip recently.

About a month later, the neighbor came back.Let's call my neighbor C.When c was about to return from a business trip, I happened to catch a bad cold, which was quite serious, because my throat was so sore that I couldn't speak at all, and I temporarily lost my voice.In the past few days, when I had to communicate with people, I could only type in the memo on my mobile phone or write a note for others to read, or I made blind gestures, and I can’t say that they were purely blind gestures. I know the standard Sign language.

On the morning when c came back from a business trip, when I came back from sloppy downstairs after throwing out the garbage, I saw c standing in front of the gate of his apartment just taking out the key.At that time, I just wanted to say hello and tell him that I was new here, but maybe I was too excited and forgot that my throat was broken, and when I opened my mouth, I found that I could only make strange noises. It wasn't until he realized that C's eyes at that time were a little weird, as if he saw a psychopath.

I want to explain to him that I can't leave a bad impression on people when we meet for the first time. After all, I still have to live here for a year, but when I touched my pocket, I really didn't bring anything with me. I started talking to c in a hurry. I tried my best to sign with sign language, and I also tried to talk to him, but it was unsuccessful. Even I felt ashamed in retrospect, because all my actions at that time really looked like a deaf-mute person.

I think it was because c didn't use standard sign language to reply to my words at that time, or whenever he opened his mouth, I wouldn't treat him as a deaf-mute.After I got home that day, I was still wondering if the landlord was afraid that I would discriminate against people like c, and would break the contract with her, so he spoke in a tactful way.At that time, I was still thinking about treating c better in the future, and felt that his life should be very difficult, because I just couldn't talk for a few days, so I felt very inconvenient.

After a few days, I was able to speak again, but it didn’t affect me and c who had been communicating in sign language for a period of time. It was strange to say that I never heard him speak a word during that period of time. , and c is very busy, even if I come back from a business trip, I am always away from home every now and then, and I was concentrating on scientific research at home at that time.

Although we live next door, we rarely see each other face to face.On the contrary, when I set up equipment on the balcony to observe celestial bodies at night, I can often see him standing on my balcony. Maybe he likes watching stars as much as I do.

Because of the design of the apartment building, the balconies of the two houses are not far apart. An adult standing on the thicker railing can probably jump to the next door if he jumps hard.I'm actually quite satisfied with this apartment, but I don't really like this alone.I don't know what the two of us are thinking, even if we see each other like this, we will only wave and say hello, and then we will not communicate, and we will only do our own things, but there is really nothing to talk about at night.

We got along without incident for more than half a month. During this period, I always thought that C could not speak, and his hearing might also have some problems.

Until one day when I came home from get off work, I met C at the entrance of the apartment lobby and stood there waiting for the elevator with an actress who lived above us. I will tell you the story of this actress when I have a chance.I heard that she seemed to want c to help her fix something, c may have just come back from work and looked a little tired, and the tone of the actress made people uncomfortable, as if she regarded c as a free laborer.

I know that C has a good temper, and he is generally not good at rejecting people, and I could see that he was a bit reluctant at the time, so I went over to help him piss off the actress, and then I didn't care how angry she was, pull He didn't even wait for the elevator and went up the stairs. It's really unlucky to take the same elevator with such an ancestor who doesn't even know if there is a coffee seat, but has already started playing big names.

When I climbed the stairs, the more I thought about it, the angrier I became, but now I think it's kind of weird, it's obviously not my fault, why am I so angry.Then I originally wanted to tell c that there is no need to agree to other people's requests every time. If he is not happy, he can refuse appropriately.Just when I was about to do this kind of sign language, C almost sent me away when he opened his mouth.

He asked me when I was cured and I was able to talk...

I:……

I thought to myself that he was sick, and then I realized how he, a deaf-mute, could speak. What kind of medical miracle is this? !

A few days later, almost everyone in the building knew that C and I treated each other as the oolong of a deaf-mute, and it was all because I said something to the actress before I left that day because C couldn’t speak or hear Just bully him.Good guy, in the next few days, actresses will bring this up when they meet, and make jokes about whether I am mentally ill, and our landlord is a little old lady who likes to gossip, lives on the second floor, and specially made some cakes to invite me that day I went to her house for afternoon tea, and asked me if I had a crush on C...

Well, anyway, I can't go out to meet people for a while.

2.

I saw some comments, saying that my story was made up, because how could it be so coincidental that both of them can sign language.

From personal experience, none of the sentences are made up, believe it or not.

Some people also asked me how a wizard could learn sign language. It was because when I was studying in a Muggle university, I took a lot of weird courses, one of which was sign language. After learning, I passed the certificate test. I don't know what the situation is at c. I asked him later, and he said that he didn't know when he learned it before. He thought it was very interesting, so he took the certificate test by the way.As for the reason for this misunderstanding, it’s not all thinking that ordinary people are unlikely to be able to use such standard sign language, and I really lost my voice at the time, so both of us took it for granted, and the number of times we met in the past half month was indeed very high. few.

I saw that some wizards asked me why I didn’t want to be a wizard and went to a Muggle university to study, but I was still working in the Muggle world. I thought I must not be able to get along in the wizarding world, and called me a scum of wizards.I want to say, why do you care about me so much, did I eat your rice?The Dark Lord has been defeated for several years, and there are still wizards who think that everything about Muggles is bad, but everything about magic is good.Wake up, times have changed!We wizards are already far behind Muggles in many ways, okay?As far as the astronomy industry I am engaged in, it is no exaggeration to say that Muggles have been hundreds of years ahead of us!

If you still don't believe what I'm saying is true, I can't help it.

Some also said that they wanted to see what C looked like, thinking that he might be a handsome guy.I won't post that photo, it's a matter of privacy, unless c agrees, but I don't think it's possible.

But c is really handsome, otherwise the pretty actress upstairs would not have such a good impression of him, and would often come to harass him, but this handsome guy sometimes looks a little dull , It’s true that he doesn’t like to talk, and I found that he is easily shy, but he doesn’t seem to be like that when facing the actress, maybe it’s because he feels a little disgusted with her.

I can just tell you about this actress. She moved in earlier than me. She often tells us that she is acting or has acted in a big play by a certain famous director. Sometimes when she receives a play, she likes to pull everyone The people she met insisted on signing your things, saying that she was about to become popular, and it would be difficult to get her autograph in the future.

I'm not interested in how her acting career is doing, because I don't watch her dramas too much, she always says that the media is interviewing her, and she's going to be a big hit soon, but honestly I have never seen any reports related to her, and sometimes I feel that if I count it seriously, I may be more famous than her, because I have given several interviews and been on the cover of magazines related to astronomy .

There are many people in the apartment building who don't like her as much as I do, even a little old lady who is so kind as the landlord. There are a few men who live here who will pay attention to her, but c is not any of them, but she I like to harass c most.

I said that I don't know exactly what kind of drama she acted in, but I know that she often brings all kinds of men back to act in her own home. Don't ask me how I know, because she lives upstairs from my house.The apartment building may be a bit old, the sound insulation is not very good, and she and each of her male partners like to make a big noise and never treat us as outsiders.As long as I heard some strange noise from the ceiling in the bedroom at night, I knew she was back with a man.

Because I have a good relationship with the old lady of the landlady, I have been invited to several tea parties held by her. At the meeting, her little sisters liked to talk about this actress. What kind of director? Occasionally, she would bring back some male actors from the same crew who acted opposite to her.But her rent was all paid by a middle-aged man, so they speculated that she might be the secret mistress of a rich man.

I respect everyone's lifestyle. How you want to live and what kind of person you choose to be is your own business. No one can tell you what to do. But I really hope that actresses can have a more regular life schedule, especially those who I was really devastated when she used to throw rave parties, because they danced from late at night until dawn, and even if it forced me to sleep in the study, I couldn't stand her upstairs.Many times I really want to rush upstairs and give her a killing curse, or put the most poisonous poison in her water. Of course, this is just a thought. I am a kind-hearted wizard, and I will never do it This kind of thing happens.

Let's not talk about actresses, let's talk about c with you.I really didn't expect it before, until last week because of a major breakthrough in a project I've been working on, I thought about asking him out for dinner.Because the previous oolong incident was a bit embarrassing, I decided to devote myself to work for a while, and wanted to work ecstatically so as to forget this embarrassing incident as soon as possible, so it is also possible to achieve such a breakthrough this time. It is most of my hero.

It was when I was eating and chatting with him that I accidentally discovered that he was also a wizard.Because he said that he doesn’t have any hobbies with me. Besides work, he just plays with other people. I just asked him casually, what is his usual role in the team, but he himself said that he slipped. I used to be a seeker in school, I subconsciously said something about Quidditch, he and I nodded, and then we two people with slow reflex arcs realized what we said after a while.

I was a little surprised that C was a wizard, because most wizards would not be able to live in that kind of apartment, because there are too many Muggles, and it is not easy to hide the identity of a wizard.But considering he's an Auror, I figured he might be living among the Muggles on purpose so that his nemesis wouldn't be able to find him.

After learning the identity of C, nothing special happened between me and him. We were both very busy at work, and occasionally we met in the elevator or in the corridor. It was just some very ordinary exchanges, just neighbors.

However, after my last treat, c asked me to drink tea at his place several times, but because I had been living in France before and was not used to drinking English afternoon tea, I refused him several times.Later, I was a little embarrassed when I refused too much, so I told him directly that he could come to me for a drinking event. I would be happy to go, but he didn't seem very happy when he heard it. Maybe it was because girls drank too much. The wine is not good, and I was told that it is best to drink less. He also said that drinking too much coffee is not good.Well, anyway, tea is the healthiest.

I always feel that a handsome guy like C is quite boring in life.

3.

I haven't been online for a while, I didn't expect so many people to urge the follow-up...

What follow-up can there be? I made it very clear last time that they are just ordinary neighbors. How can you be the same as my landlord?She also asked me every day how C and I were doing and if we were together.

Sorry, we're not together!And in recent years, I don't really want to fall in love, I just want to work hard.Don't ask me about my ex, I broke up with him peacefully, I brought up the breakup, because there is no feeling of being in love with him at all, you ask how much you don't feel it?It's as if I just pulled a male friend to play adult games with me.

Although he was very kind to me, but after trying for a long time, I just never called him.Then the ex was my cousin’s classmate, and the conditions in all aspects were not bad. There are many little witches around me who like him, but somehow they have a soft spot for me. I agreed to be with him at the beginning because I saw him always It was hard work chasing after me for quite a long time, and one day I suddenly felt very moved, so I agreed to him vaguely, saying that we would try together.

I did try very seriously, he was all about getting married, but I knew I didn’t like him that much, maybe I wouldn’t like him very much in my life, and I really felt that a person like me was not worthy of him I like it so much, I decided to break up after thinking for a long time, mainly because I don't want to delay others.It’s just that it seems to have hit him hard, which made me feel a little uncomfortable, but if I don’t like it, I just don’t like it. I can’t lie about things like feelings for a lifetime.

I don't want to say anything more about this matter, and my ex is my first love, so don't ask me any more.

He and c have become more and more familiar recently, and occasionally exchange messages with him.Last time I went back to his house to drink tea, we chatted together, and somehow we talked about emotional matters. He said that he had talked about a girlfriend in school before, and his girlfriend was a year younger than him. The relationship between C and C is good, but when he graduated, the other party broke up. The reason given was that C would fall in love with other girls if she was not by C's side this year.But in fact, c has been single since breaking up with her.But it wasn’t for the purpose of waiting for his ex to change his mind. He told me that he didn’t meet anyone who moved his heart. Later, his ex graduated and came to him to get back together. He didn’t agree because he didn’t like it long ago.

He showed me a picture of his ex, a black-haired oriental girl, who was quite beautiful, a perfect beauty.

But when I was looking at the photos, I couldn't help boasting that his ex-girlfriend was pretty, but he said that he was not as pretty as me...

I think he might have wanted to be polite to me at the time, but who knows why he blushed!

The actress upstairs has been going crazy lately. She holds parties every day, making me so noisy that I can't sleep at all.One night I was woken up again and couldn't fall asleep, so I got up and prepared to cook some supper for myself, but I had a heart attack as soon as I walked to the living room.

I finished taking the medicine prepared in the living room last time, and I actually forgot to make it up. There were a lot of them in the drawer of the bedroom, but at that time, I was already lying on the ground in pain, and I could only struggle to climb to the bedroom with my little consciousness. .Fortunately, C was still awake next door, and when he heard my call for help, he immediately turned over from the balcony... Otherwise, you might not be able to see these words now.

I don't know if I'm thinking too much, but I feel like C really cares about me.

Since that illness, he has become very active, he will send me greeting text messages every day, and also share some daily life with me. Sometimes I am so busy that I don’t reply or forget to reply, and I meet on the balcony at night. He will also ask me why I ignored him today.

A few days ago, I was a little greedy, and I posted in Moments that I missed the meals my mother made, but when I was about to leave work, he sent me a message saying that he wanted to invite me to dinner, and asked if I was free, and I said yes.He told me to go straight out through the gate of the museum later.I didn't know until after I went out that his car had already parked outside, and he looked like he was waiting for me to get off work, but he said he just happened to pass by, who knows.

After getting in the car, he said that he would take me to have a French meal. I don’t know how he found this restaurant. Not only does it taste authentic, but it actually tastes like my mother’s cooking.When he first entered the restaurant, when he assured me that he must have the taste of his mother, I thought he was very interesting. How could he make such a joke, but after he really tasted the taste of his mother, he was very moved.

It was late after dinner, and he sent me home straight away, nothing happened.

Originally, I wanted to ask him to come to my place and drink some wine. I honestly confessed to you that I was really moved by him, especially after he was rescued from the illness, I felt that he was very safe. Yes, but the main thing is to make him look handsome.

Calling him to drink at my house is a bit of a plot against him, because he told me that he can't drink very well, so he wanted to see what was wrong.

But c didn't let me drink, let me go to bed early, educated me that I couldn't drink if my heart was bad, and said that he would supervise me in the future.But I don't know why he said he wanted to supervise me, but gave me his spare key.

I don’t quite understand, maybe he was accidentally cast by a dark wizard at work recently. Last time he was cast into a spell and turned into a child. Fortunately, it was only one day, so it’s not enough to take care of him. Tired, I was accidentally seen by the landlady, and asked me why c asked me to help take care of his nephew, yes, I lied to her and said that the smaller c was c's own nephew, but she got to the bottom of it and said We are not related, why is C so reassuring about me, and asked me if I have something to do with C without telling him.

There is indeed a situation, because that child is him.

Alas, but c is still as shy as before.

I don't know which tenant called the police when the actress threw another party, saying she was too loud and disturbing the residents.Recently, she has settled down a lot, and she doesn't bring any messy men back from outside, so I can sleep well.

However, I've been thinking about changing apartments recently, and I also plan to move back home, because my father and stepmother are divorcing. The specific reasons are a bit complicated, and it's my own family. I won't talk about it. Anyway, the two have separated now. .

I was a little worried about my dad, and wanted to go back to be with him, and I felt that he and my mom were having some fun, but it's hard to say.

I just received a private message from a wizard, she told me that she already knew who C was, and asked me where I went to school, why I didn’t even know C, she told me that C was the school girl, the heartthrob of their school, so It was me, a little local girl from France, who couldn't get high, and advised me to die as soon as possible, and even sent a lot of nasty words.

In fact, I have seen many similar comments before, but this is the first time I have received a private message.I also thought of some controversies about myself and my family in the comment area, so I just respond to them now.

First of all, I want to say sorry to the wizard who sent me a private message. Before that, I really didn’t know c. No matter how famous he was in school, it’s impossible for him to spread to us in France. Who wasn't a school belle and a heartthrob when he was studying in a magic school?

Those who questioned my fraudulent academic qualifications, feel free to check it out. I am not anonymous for this answer, and I am definitely not afraid of you picking it up.In the comment area, I will review the past events of my family. I am afraid that everyone will not know the guy. I just want to ask if you are not tired of staring at my family all day long?It's not your own home, why are you so worried!And my family will not give you money.

Also, my dad is very kind to me. I'm such an old man that I can tell right from wrong. I just want to ask if you are the navy brigade hired by my stepmother to sow discord?My mother really didn't cheat the marriage back then, nor did she win my father's favor. In fact, my maternal grandfather's family is a big and respectable family in the French wizarding world. My father and my mother are well-matched. It's just that my grandparents are not satisfied with my father marrying a foreign girl, and my maternal grandparents are also not happy with my mother marrying abroad, that's all.As for those who say I'm the product of a love potion, let's go straight to the legal process.
