[Comprehensive British and American] The world is malicious

"If I'm a man who has no love/interest, never been in a relationship, and for some reason, I need a roommate, I just thought of you, Avril, what do I mean?"

Nina was sitting on the car seat, holding her chin with her hands, and looked at Avril who was sitting opposite with a tangled expression.

"..." Facing Nina's question, Avril stared at Nina with an even more indescribable expression for a long time, as if the person sitting opposite her was no longer an ordinary person, but a giant monster.

"Compared with the answer to this question, I want to know who that older young man with no emotion/interest and negative EQ is, Nina."

"...just an analogy."

Avril raised the corners of her mouth, blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Nina, and slowly moved her body to Nina's side, "Usually, the person being compared is herself."

"...It was actually Isaline's question. She was in a bit of trouble and hoped to get help. You know, Avril, I've never been good at this kind of thing." Nina kept a gentle smile and spoke halfway. Half-true, because she did use the name Isaline once.

"Well, okay." Avril shrank her shoulders boredly, tilted her head, her white and small ears were exposed from her soft hair, and she seriously thought about Nina's question.Compared with Nina, she is obviously better at such questions that do not involve knowledge.

"Except for love, everything is possible, to share the rent, to kill the boring life...Of course, if Kyle says this to me, I can invite you to be my bridesmaid after graduation, Nina."

"Hmm..." Nina pondered for a while, she couldn't express her current mood, as if something hidden in her heart had been pointed out to the point.

She thought she probably liked Sherlock Holmes, from the inexplicable nervousness before to the farewell yesterday, and when Sherlock casually asked her to move down, her heart beat like thunder.At that time, her mind was almost full of strange ideas. After a brief surprise, reason gradually gained the upper hand, and Nina had to come to a conclusion similar to Avril's, and she bluntly rejected Sherlock's proposal.

"Kyle?" Nina came back to her senses, feeling that she needed to update Avril's boyfriend's name again, and delete those useless names that took up space, "I think I can even roughly imagine what he looks like." Nina shrugged and said that there are always some similarities among the boys Avril Lavigne has dated.

Just as Avril was about to answer, she suddenly exclaimed a little, and turned her head to look out of the car window. There were already a lot of people at the station, they were pushing the car, saying goodbye to the children, and almost every child was holding their pets in their hands Cats of various colors are weaving around under people's feet, and owls make shrill and screeching noises.

Avril approached the car window, her eyes fell on an ordinary young man, but as soon as he entered the station, he became the focus of attention, and almost everyone would unconsciously cast their eyes on him, whispering, Then hold back your thoughts and consider whether you want to go forward and have a chat with him.

"Have you seen that, Nina? The famous Mr. Potter." Avril Lavigne raised her voice, as if seeing an idol, Avril Lavigne showed a look of surprise on her face instantly, "Harry Potter, from the time I entered Granville After Fendor, he's always mentioned as if he was still at Hogwarts."

"After all, he is an excellent Gryffindor." Nina cast a few glances at where Harry Potter was, and saw Albus without any surprise. Standing next to him was a man with a thin face and messy hair. The black-haired boy should be Albus's older brother - James Sirius Potter. Except for minor differences, he and his father are almost carved out of the same mold.

"It's really early for you guys." After the compartment door was opened, there was a deep exclamation. Nina withdrew her gaze from Potter and turned her head, just in time to see Adrian walking in. Put on the black robes of Hogwarts.

"Good morning"

"Did you notice when you came? Ed, Harry Potter, he was standing there just now, at the entrance of the station." Avril also turned her head, her tone rising, mixed with indescribable excitement.

"Yes, it's hard for me not to pay attention." Adrian raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, habitually turning his gentle eyes on Nina, "But there are so many people, I can only take a quick look, and immediately leave.

Hope it wasn't a rough day yesterday, how are you, Nina? "Adrian asked, since Nina left yesterday, he has been a little uneasy, not only because Nina did not take the exam, but used apparition, but also because it was expressly forbidden.

"Don't worry, Ed." Nina raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, expressing her gratitude to Adrian for his concern, but when she thought about what happened yesterday, she still couldn't help but want to let out a long sigh. She should already feel that Habit.

The moment Avril turned her head back, Avril gave her a look. She thought she could guess what Adrian was worried about, abusing magic outside the school, and obviously, Nina didn't think that the Ministry of Magic couldn't find Nina at all. Zong Si told Adrian about it.

Just like Nina never invited her to play at home, she only mentioned her parents and brother occasionally, as a good friend, she understands this, although most of the time they talk about everything .

After a while, there were fewer and fewer students on the platform. They reluctantly bid farewell to their parents and relatives, boarded the red steam train with a large suitcase, walked into the familiar compartment, and happily talked with friends who had parted ways for a summer vacation , or meet new friends.

"Sorry, I'm going out to have a look, I'll be back soon, and Sid should come over later." Adrian straightened his clothes, stood up, and the black robe set off his tall figure. He smiled at Avril After nodding with Nina, he opened the door and walked out of the car.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with Ed." Avril looked at Adrian's leaving figure, and muttered in a low voice. Since the fourth grade, she was keen to take Nina to all kinds of parties, but Nina didn't like This is always lack of interest, she is more willing to stay at the bottom of the gloomy, cold black lake, researching those extremely cumbersome potions.

"He is very smart, calm, and patient, and he has almost captured the hearts of most Ravenclaw girls." Nina said helplessly, opened the cage, and took out some bits and pieces of food from her schoolbag. Feed her food as she flies out of the cage and lands on her outstretched arms.

"Ok, you know that's not what I'm talking about." Avril spread her hands, expressing that she didn't want to simply listen to Nina's merciless praise of Adrian, so she changed the subject in a timely manner and talked about her life in France News and Nina's life in Baker Street.

While they were talking, the train had left London and was running along fields full of cattle and sheep. Nina turned her head, glanced at the familiar scene, and asked suspiciously, "Don't you think Ed has been out for a long time? ?”

"Indeed." Avril thought for a while, and replied, "Sid didn't come either,...maybe he went to another car." Avril said uncertainly, the sudden panic in her heart made her a little restless, so she He also turned his head to look at the surrounding fields, and in the blink of an eye, the fields had been left behind by the train.

The sky began to be covered with a dusty mist, covering the sun high in the sky. The golden sunlight became weaker, and the hot temperature began to recede. It seemed that even the dull air in the air could be felt.

The heavy rain is coming, Nina looked out of the window, thinking inexplicably, and then she remembered what happened during the whole summer vacation, a series of serial murders, the FBI, Bernardo, the message left by her mother in the basement... And Sherlock Holmes.

It wasn't until there was a noisy and lively sound in the aisle that Nina came back to her senses. A woman with a friendly smile and dimples pushed open the door of the compartment and asked, "Honey, do you want to buy some food from the car?" ?”

"Excuse me, is it already noon?" Avril frowned and asked after exchanging a look with Nina.

"Yes, it's twelve noon." The saleswoman smiled sweetly.

"Two pumpkin pies and pot cakes, thank you." Nina said as she took out a few silver Sickles and bronze Knuts from her pocket and handed them to the saleswoman. "Did Lal not come today?" Nina accepted After two pies and cakes, he asked casually.

"Lal? I don't remember this person working on the train. You may have misremembered the name, Miss." The saleswoman replied friendly with a smile on her face.

"It seems to be true, sorry."

"I think there must be something wrong. It can't be twelve o'clock at noon. We just got in the car." After the saleswoman pulled the door tightly, Avril frowned and said.

Nina didn't immediately echo Avril's words, she took out her wand from her pocket, stood up from the seat, "I'll go out and have a look, I'll be back in a while."

"Wait, I'll go with you."

"Don't worry, maybe we just talked too much and forgot the time. If there is anything, I will be back immediately, Avril, take care of Chloe for me, we can't leave at the same time." Nina persuaded Avril Lavigne, ever since Adrian left and never came back, she seemed to vaguely feel that something was wrong.

The train continued to drive north, and it was pitch black outside the window, and the rain poured down from the sky in an instant, showing a thick sticky gray on the window pane.

Avril struggled for a moment, wanting to refute Nina's words, but she still held back her temper and nodded, one of them must stay here, "Be careful."

"Well, I know." Nina said, her body suddenly swayed forward, and the train suddenly jolted and stopped.

The author has something to say: Sapphire's case will be unfolded in the episode, so I won't go into detail here. As for Watson, he will appear after Nina leaves Baker Street.
