[Comprehensive British and American] The world is malicious

It was still early in the morning, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and a dense mist like drizzle was weaving obliquely in the mid-air, and the dry clothes were stained with a lot of water in a short while.Fortunately, the weather in July is not too hot yet.

On the third day after receiving Avril's letter, Nina found 221B Baker Street according to the address written in the letter.

It is here.

Nina looked up at the house number and knocked on the door with her hand. After a while, the door was opened, and a middle-aged woman in a long purple dress and short curly hair walked out. It was the landlord of the apartment, Hader. Mrs. Mori.

Mrs. Hudson looked at Nina with a confused look. She remembered that she had just posted the rental notice, and she didn't expect a young girl to come so soon.

"Hello, Mrs. Hudson, I'm Avril's friend, and she's your tenant here." Nina showed a friendly smile. In order to make her short stay more comfortable, she called The phone asked for the name of Avril Lavigne's landlord.

"...Of course, please come in." Mrs. Hudson took Nina's hand kindly and sent her upstairs, "This is Miss Selinger's room. She usually goes out very early. Currently at home."

Mrs. Hudson stood at the door, mumbling under her breath.Nina was looking around curiously, trying to find clues about Avril Lavigne's weird neighbors, when she heard Mrs. Hudson muttering, Nina smiled and said: "I talked to Avril Lavigne on the phone when I came, she will be at home of."

After finishing speaking, Nina raised her hand and knocked on the door, but no one answered for a long time, until the fourth time, the door opened a small crack, Avril poked out her messy hair, and seeing Nina standing in front of the door, she blinked. He blinked his sleepy eyes.

"Good morning, Nina, you arrived too early." Avril opened the door, brushing her disheveled hair with her hands, "...ah, Mrs. Hudson, good morning." Avril suddenly noticed the Mrs. Hudson greeted Mrs. Hudson with some embarrassment.

Seeing the embarrassment on Avril's face, Nina instantly understood the whole story, and hastily covered the corners of her mouth with her hands and coughed dryly twice, so as not to laugh out loud in front of Avril.She guessed that Avril never got up early, and every time Mrs. Hudson knocked on the door, Avril must be nestled in the quilt, looking forward to the person who knocked on the door to leave quickly.

"Good morning, Miss Serlinger." Mrs. Hudson was completely unaware of Avril Lavigne's embarrassment, with a kind smile on her face, she said to the two: "Talk slowly, I won't disturb you." Mrs. Hudson turned and walked slowly downstairs.

Avril Lavigne couldn't see Mrs. Hudson with her head, and dragged Nina into the room with one hand.

Nina couldn't help laughing, her shoulders trembled with the joyful laughter, "Miss Serene, hardworking, I can't help but feel sorry for Mrs. Hudson."

"Then I feel sorry for you too, Ms. Nina Roberts, because in half the holiday, you will have a lovely neighbor." Avril blinked, biting the word "cute" very hard, which shows her respect for this How disgusting the neighbors are.

Nina shrugged her shoulders indifferently, she didn't care about it, she was even a little curious about what kind of person could make Avril so helpless.You know, Avril Lavigne is a Gryffindor little lion who goes forward bravely and never backs down.

"Choose a place to sit, I'm a little messy here." Avril Lavigne said lazily, picked up the pillow on the armchair, and sat comfortably on the soft sofa, "If you didn't call yesterday, I almost forgot to return it." There's such a thing as a phone."

"I understand, just like yesterday when Stephen told me that an owl was coming, I completely forgot that I was a wizard." Nina replied as she cleared a place for herself, "However, I can tell you something interesting .”

"What?" Avril sat up straight excitedly, her amber eyes were full of curiosity, like a child who couldn't wait to hear a story.

"I used magic two days ago, and I still haven't received a warning letter from the Ministry of Magic."

"Oh, Merlin, it's impossible!" Avril stood up in surprise, stared at Nina, then lowered her head and walked quickly in front of the sofa, "You should have received a letter from the Ministry of Magic that day. It's always been efficient in this area, or you should see someone from the Ministry of Magic the next day.

Maybe I can try, maybe there's something wrong with the Law Enforcement Department, if I can use magic, I won't have to travel with a heavy suitcase. "

"It's better not." Nina stopped Avril Lavigne's rambling thoughts in time, "You don't want to go on vacation with a warning letter from the Ministry of Magic. Maybe the officials from the Department of Law Enforcement took a nap that day and It's just not found."

The Law Enforcement Department will not miss her, even though she stayed in the ancient world not long ago, but now she has been back for more than a day, and used magic again yesterday.She wanted to do this experiment, and she felt that the reason why the Ministry of Magic hadn't sent a warning letter was because the anomaly had erased any trace of her use of magic.

If used again, the Ministry of Magic would send a warning letter because she was in the normal world.

But now eighteen hours had passed, and she hadn't received any letters.

Nina vaguely felt that the problem was with herself, not the Department of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic. She couldn't let Avril take the risk of receiving a warning to verify her conjecture.

Avril accepted Nina's statement, sighed and sat back on the sofa. She knew that Nina was extremely talented in magic, and she herself seemed to prefer the world of ordinary people to the place full of wizards.

"By the way, I've booked a ticket for the Eurostar train, and I'm leaving London in the afternoon. At this time, I'll show you the cafe."

The coffee shop that Avril Lavigne said is facing 221B Baker Street. There are several outdoor umbrellas and a few tables scattered outside the cafe. The upstairs room on the opposite side can completely overlook the scene inside the cafe. Avril Lavigne sometimes likes to sit by the window , looking curiously at several shops elsewhere.

Because it was the weekend, several shops along the way were closed, with a rest sign hanging in front of the door.

Avril took the store key, fiddled with it a few times, opened the door, and led Nina into the coffee shop.The exterior of the coffee shop is dominated by "green" colors, revealing a spring full of vitality and artistic conception everywhere, while the interior of the cafe is extraordinarily elegant, full of strong retro flavor and artistic features.

"It makes people feel comfortable and peaceful!" Nina couldn't help but praise, she likes a free and comfortable life, no doubt, she found this feeling in this coffee shop.

Avril turned her head and smiled mischievously, "I have a good aesthetic vision. I know you will like this place. My mother is French. She admires the free spirit of the Left Bank, so I designed this place after the Cafe de Flore."

While talking, Avril led Nina to look around, and introduced the general situation in the coffee shop.Avril Lavigne seldom stays in the coffee shop, and she doesn't want to hire people. She only comes to visit during the holidays, so the coffee shop is closed for other times.

She thought that Nina could visit the store in the same way as she did. If Nina wanted to, she could close the store door and sit in the coffee shop quietly drinking coffee.

Nina listened silently, completely ignoring the young lady's mental state of not making money. Thinking about the arbitrage between the real world and the magic world that she had done a few years ago in order to make money.

The saying that the economic base determines the superstructure is absolutely correct.

Avril Lavigne talked for a long time, and finally had a moment of pause. In fact, the two of them were just chatting for a long time.

Avril Lavigne smiled and took out the store key and the apartment key from her pocket, and handed them to Nina, "Then, I'll leave it to you here, remember to contact me."

"Don't worry, let's go, I'll treat you to lunch." Nina showed a smile of "absolutely no problem", looked around the coffee shop, confirmed that she really likes it here, and took Avril Lavigne to leave the coffee shop quickly .

"Bambi, Avril Lavigne has already left, I hope we can spend a happy holiday together." Nina stared at the white rabbit Bambi who was snoozing on the sofa, gently hugged the rabbit in her arms, and turned to leave Avril Lavigne's home .

She liked the coffee shop downstairs and hoped to run it well during the short vacation, but it was a long drive home from here, and she should find Mrs. Hudson to rent a new apartment.

It just so happened that she saw the rental notice posted by Mrs. Hudson today. Nina hugged Bambi and knocked on Mrs. Hudson's door.

"Hello, Mrs. Hudson, I've seen your listing, can I see the apartment?"

"Of course, please wait a moment." Mrs. Hudson was taken aback for a moment, then quickly bent down and found the apartment key from the drawer, and went upstairs with Nina one after the other, "I just saw Miss Selinger dragging I went out with the suitcase, are you going on vacation?"

"Yes, she is a restless person, she always likes to wander around." Nina smiled casually, she likes Avril's character very much, and they should go out to play together when they have time, but they can't do it now.

Mrs. Hudson seemed to understand Avril's temperament quite well, and nodded in response, "This is it, you can come in and take a look. The scenery here is very good, and the place is very spacious."

Mrs. Hudson introduced, she hesitated to speak and glanced at Nina who was visiting.

"You can call me Nina, Mrs. Hudson." Nina turned her head and put Bambi on the ground. "You seem to have something to ask?"

"No, it's just a little strange, you can live with Miss Celine Jie." In fact, Mrs. Hudson wanted to know why the two underage girls came out to rent a house. She originally thought that Avril Lavigne was to be with her boyfriend , just came out to live, and obviously, Avril Lavigne went to a boarding school and only came back during the winter and summer vacations, and no male friends came to her.

Nina shrugged her hair in embarrassment, "I promised Avril that I would help her take care of the coffee shop downstairs, but for the sake of convenience, I brought a lot of things. Obviously, it is difficult for Avril's room to fit everything."

"Oh, God! . . . I understand that girls always have to take care of themselves." Mrs. Hudson tried not to look surprised. "You should find a moving company to help."

"Thank you for reminding me." In fact, she doesn't need a moving company. She has already carried a lot of things in the back backpack, but this is a secret.

"I like this place very much. If possible, can I sign the contract now?" Nina's eyes shone with sincerity. "I need some time to tidy up here."

"No problem, dear, I'm glad you can live here... If you need anything, you can come to me."
