[Zhongyingmei] My students are not right

That night, Claire took Eric to look at the Moon Valley for a long time in her magic circle. The wind and sand here were scorching, but the moonlight was as bright and clear as New York had never seen before. On the devilish sandstone, listening to Claire tell him what she saw and heard when she traveled to Jordan.

In fact, she was still young at the time because of her lack of experience, so she didn't take such risky moves as she did later. It can be said that it was like an ordinary Muggle trip.But when she mentioned this, the expression on her face was unprecedented. The supposedly mature and elegant 30-year-old woman looked like a young girl, with a blush on her face and stars in her eyes.

From Eric's eyes, it can be seen that he doesn't really understand the lizards hiding in the red sand and the two-headed snake of the same age as the ancient city of Petra, but he is very patient and listens carefully Every word she said was like a most loyal listener.

"So, you've traveled all over the world for these animals?" Eric asked.

"Animals?" Claire shook her head, "It's not just animals."

"Biology covers a lot, it can be the last unknown mammoth hidden in the world, or it can be an unnamed grass at your feet." Claire said, "As long as you live in this world, you will be protected." necessary."

Eric narrowed his eyes: "Your thinking is very similar to Charles."

"Aren't you the same?" Claire said.

"Me?" Eric smiled. "I'm different."

The dry wind in the Moon Valley messed up his originally meticulous hair, his eyes were not deliberately deep, and even his smile seemed much more sincere.

Claire froze for a moment, then suddenly thought that Eric had said the same thing in Krakow.

At that time, he kissed her forehead and said softly: "I am different, Claire, you said that you still have someone who loves you, and you have other things to do. I have nothing but my ideals .”

This person is very contradictory. On the one hand, he pulls the mutants to his side, works hard for the future of the mutants, and is also furious for the dead companions; People are all pushed far away from his world.

"What's different?" Claire laughed, looking at the round moon behind the red sandstone.

Eric was silent for a long time before saying: "Everyone around me will eventually find out that I am different from them." He looked at Claire, and Claire just turned her head to look at him at this time, even if the moonlight Bright, not as clear as daylight, but at this moment, Claire felt that she finally saw clearly the emotion hidden in this man's eyes.

It is not at all the same as the dangerous and deadly Magneto in other people's population.

The two looked at each other for a long time before Eric lowered his eyes and smiled shortly. He leaned towards Claire, pressed a kiss on her forehead with the scorching temperature of the Moon Valley, and said, "It's very late. , go to bed first, and see you later."

Just as Claire was about to say something, he heard Eric's voice with a smile: "I won't help you drink today's hot milk."

Claire: "..."

It can be said that it is very frustrating to see through the treachery in a second.

But on this day, after watching Eric fly away from the window sill, Claire dawdled for a long time before going downstairs to drink the cup of hot milk. Behind my own room, I was about to go to the desk to turn off the lamp, and inadvertently glanced at the bookshelf, and saw a thin copy of "Peter Pan" in the corner of the bookshelf.

The image of Eric flying to her window sill suddenly broke into her mind, she walked to the bookshelf, took down the book "Peter Pan" with a slightly yellowed seal, smiled, and lowered her head , and said to Elena who was squatting at her feet: "Want to read Muggle magic stories?"

Elena meowed and jumped to the top of the closet, her refusal was very obvious.

Claire shrugged: "It's okay, there is one more person who is willing to listen." She rubbed her belly, "For my little Peter to use as prenatal education."

"Meow meow meow?"

"Yes, I decided not to call him Tom, but to call him Peter." Claire said, "Maybe he will be like his father in the future, and he can fly without a broom."

"..."

It took Claire two days to finish reading the children's paperback version of "Peter Pan Peter Pan", and Eric, as he said before, did not appear again.

Claire didn't care, she still didn't get up until noon every day, watched TV series after lunch, and watched "Peter Pan" after the TV series. Potentially going to Eric on TV again.

But when she scrolled through the major news platforms and didn't see any new news about Magneto, she was a little relieved.

And Bruce came back from vacation this time, and before staying for two full days, he answered the phone and said goodbye to Aunt Carly. On the day he left, Aunt Carly looked at the yellowing sycamore leaves outside the window with a rather sad tone. : "The weather is cold, and I don't know if Bruce will add another dress for himself when he goes back."

Claire was slumped on the sofa, staring blankly at the new TV series on the TV. This is a TV series from another country. A pair of brother and sister who grew up together did not know that the other party was not their blood relatives until they were teenagers. So they were forced to separate, and they met again many years later. The family affection in their youth had turned into love, but their love was blocked by many parties, and at this time, the heroine suffered from leukemia.

"It's so sad." Claire shook her head, "It turns out that Asians get leukemia at every turn."

At this time, the heroine in the TV came out of the ward, and the male number two who was infatuated with her chased after her, and said angrily: "It's cold, and I don't know how to add a dress for myself."

Claire felt that this sentence sounded familiar, and then turned her head to look at Aunt Carly standing in front of the window. Elena quickly moved to the cabinet in the entrance, and then put her claws on the window glass, looking at Bruce The car pulled out of the Banner House garage and disappeared down the empty lane.

"Poor thing." Claire shook her head again, "I'm going to work after only two days off."

Aunt Carly turned to look at her: "You have to go to work tomorrow."

Claire: "...how can you be so cruel."

When Claire was woken up by Elena on the day of work, she wished she could use the time-turner to go back in time and stuff Eric into the Pentagon. Humanity should be extinct, anyway, it’s still seven o’clock in the cold morning There is no need to exist in the world of waking up.

West Chester, which is in the period of precipitous cooling, has already entered late autumn ahead of schedule. The leaves of the plane trees on both sides of the road in front of Banner’s house have all turned yellow. After a few days of light rain, the street is so clean that there is no trace of dust. , and the sun finally pushed aside the thick clouds this morning, revealing a shy face among the layers of branches and leaves.

It wasn't too warm, but it was much better than raining.

She was the only one on the first bus from the town to Xavier School. The driver performed elegantly on the empty road in the morning. Claire, who had long been accustomed to the broomstick, did not complain about the driver's waywardness. When she arrived at the Xavier School station, she straightened her somewhat disheveled hair, and stepped off the bus gracefully.

The Xavier School located in the outskirts of the town was even colder than the town. Claire felt the power of the north wind as soon as she got out of the car. Walk towards the school gate.

The school gate was also full of students who walked slowly with reluctance on their faces.

On the first day after the long vacation, everyone's mentality was the same.

In front of the students, Claire reflexively adjusted her expression, held her head high, walked like flying, and gave every sighing student a big smile along the way, and added a sentence of "Congratulations on the class".

Seeing the disheveled looks of the students, the pain of being forced to get up early eased a little.

She walked quickly to the corridor of the teaching building, and as soon as she turned a corner, she saw Pietro, who was only wearing a thin shirt and trembling with a skateboard in his arms. Warren stood in front of him with his hands folded, as if to say Thinking about something, after seeing Claire, both of them stood up straight, and then respectfully called "Hello, teacher".

However, compared with Warren's sonorous voice, the trembling Pietro seemed to be terminally ill.

Claire raised her eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

Warren smiled: "Pietro came to class on a skateboard and it turned out to be too fast."

Claire: "..."

"Nearly blown to the point of facial paralysis." Warren couldn't help laughing, and then was punched by Pietro.

The two teenagers were joking and joking and ran farther and farther away. Claire shook her head with a smile, and was about to turn around and go to the classroom. When she turned around, she bumped into someone who came out of the classroom, and she hurried to He took a step back and smiled at the man: "Are you all right?"

The other party was a red-haired girl who was still holding the textbooks of theology class in her arms. When Claire asked her, she shook her head and said, "It's okay, Mr. Lagerfeld."

Claire looked at her for a while, made sure that she hadn't seen her before, and said, "Are you a transfer student?"

"Hmm..." The girl nodded, "My name is Jean Gray."

"Hi, Jean." Claire smiled, "I accidentally bumped into you just now, I'm sorry."

"No... I bumped into the teacher." Qin frowned slightly, "I didn't hurt the teacher's little baby."

Claire was stunned: "...Huh?"

Qin also froze for a moment, then took a few steps back.

"You..." Claire was about to ask her how she knew, when she heard a clear voice behind her: "Mr. Lagerfeld!"

Claire turned her head, and saw Hank in a white coat walking slowly towards this side. There was a man in a wheelchair beside him. The wheelchair moved forward slowly without any external force. The man in the wheelchair The man rested his hands on his lap, and his posture was relaxed, without any sense of embarrassment in a wheelchair.

When Claire saw the man in the wheelchair, her eyes widened suddenly.

And the man in the wheelchair frowned slightly as he got closer and closer to her. When he came to her, he turned to look at Hank beside him with complicated eyes: "Hank, our country's legal How many days is maternity leave?"

Hank jokingly said: "Charles, after your sick leave ran out, you extended your claws to maternity leave?"

The man in the wheelchair also smiled and said, "This is not a joke, be serious."

And Claire's heart was turbulent like a hurricane hitting Manhattan: "Principal! Why are you in a wheelchair!"

Charles, the man in the wheelchair, smiled lightly: "As you can see, I can't walk."

"Could it be that going to the White House to save the future of mutants will paralyze you?" Claire exclaimed, then froze for a moment, "No, I just thought about it in my heart and didn't say it!"

Charles raised the corner of his mouth: "It's not important. What's important is, when is Mr. Lagerfeld going to use your maternity leave? I can prepare in advance and take over your courses."

"..." If it wasn't for a group of students sitting in the classroom, Claire would almost growl.

How did they know what was on her mind?

At this time, Hank realized belatedly: "So Claire is pregnant? I remember that Claire filled in the entry as unmarried, so this child..."

Claire was about to perform an Occlumency on herself, and then heard Charles say: "Sorry, Claire, I was a little surprised when I accidentally heard the news. After that, I won't just ask what you think."

She looked at Charles, and saw Charles smiled at her, and said, "Beyond these, the most important thing is to introduce you to the new students." He looked at Qin who was standing beside Claire, and said with a smile, "It seems that you already know each other."
