The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

They didn't go to the Shrieking Shack, and it can be said that Stark originally planned to go to the Shrieking Shack, knowing that it was a little far from the shabby cabin.But Ma Linglong didn't make such a choice right away. She stood there thinking for about two seconds, and then she took steps towards the teacher's dormitory area.Stark followed Ma Linglong. He wanted to ask something, but he couldn't ask. He was clearly familiar with magic, but it didn't seem to be as easy to understand as he imagined. Everything Stark saw It cannot be explained by science at all, but he upholds scientific theories to explain the phenomena he sees.

He felt that he should become a cat again, so many things would be solved.

No, Stark, you must not admit that you just thought you were less intelligent than a cat.

"Shouldn't we go to the Shrieking Shack?" Stark finally couldn't help asking, "Only there can we find what we want."

"You're quite right, but we're taking a man, Snape, and he has to be there."

"Is he the one who can testify for Sirius, has had conflicts, and is decent?"

"You're half right." Ma Linglong said, "They had conflicts before."

"The other half is your first love?" Stark said. "What's your name, Maffey?"

"This joke is not funny Stark at all." Ma Linglong said displeasedly, "His name is Malfoy."

"Sorry." Stark said with a smile, without any jealousy, "But it seems that he still remembers the old love, that Muffy, he obeys you."

"You're overthinking, he just owes me a lot, and I happen to be holding him in." Ma Linglong paused and continued, "Didn't Professor Dumbledore tell you about his relationship with me? story."

"Santa Claus is a gentleman, I don't think he will reveal your private affairs to me." Stark said, "But it's not difficult to guess, after all, we have all been popular with the opposite sex."

"once?"

"Well, it's the same now." Stark sped up his speech, "Santa Claus just told me, Muffy, I'm going to call him that, that blonde sissy, he's more afraid of the forces behind you."

"Do you still remember the magic school on Mount Kunlun that I told you about?" Ma Linglong stopped, leaning against the wall, asking Stark to do the same.

A group of Slytherin students came in front of them, in order to avoid unnecessary complications, Ma Linglong was not going to meet them face to face, and they were not friendly at all to Muggles appearing in the school.

"Remember." Stark said.

"It was my ancestor's property." Ma Linglong said lightly, "However, since my parents cultivated immortality, it has become my property."

The students were away from Ma Linglong's field of vision from another direction, and she came out from the corner.

"What did you say?" Stark knew that Ma Linglong was not short of money, he thought girls were just better at making money, "Then, how does that school, your property, compare with Hogwarts?"

"which aspect?"

"Every aspect, economy, connections, etc., I don't know what I should know about." Stark didn't expect his girlfriend to have her own property, and it didn't sound like a small real estate business. Think of those antiques.

"I'll tell you later, it's much bigger than Hogwarts anyway."

In fact, Stark felt that as a full-time school, the area occupied by Hogwarts was already very spacious compared to its number of people: "Sweetheart." He asked uncertainly, "You probably know me The richest of the girls, I guess?"

"For sure." Ma Linglong didn't care about Stark's disbelieving expression, "Don't worry, I'm still a step behind you."

"Excellent, just a hair away." Stark said bitterly.

When Ma Linglong turned a corner, she almost tripped over a stone protruding from the corner.

Stark hurriedly supported her: "I think you probably forgot that you are a wizard, you can come and go without a trace, disappear and appear suddenly, but you walk here with your legs."

"You're talking about apparition." Ma Linglong said, she didn't stop, "The school can't use this spell."

"Are you afraid of being deducted from your salary, rich girl?" Stark laughed.

Ma Linglong explained: "The 'Anti-Apparition' spell is set up around Hogwarts, and no one can use the Disappearance spell in this place."

"Do all spells have a reverse?" Stark continued.

"Yes." Ma Linglong thought for a while, "Not all of them, but most of them are." There is absolutely no possibility of the reverse of the three unforgivable curses. Ma Linglong has been studying them for more than ten years but has not succeeded." Why are you asking this?"

"Purely academic curiosity," Stark said.

Ma Linglong looked at him and forced a smile: "Do scientists also want to study magic?"

"Not impossible."

They entered the hall through the side door, and after passing through an arch, they came to the stairs of the student dormitory. Those stairs that change directions anytime and anywhere are the most troublesome: "Go this way." Starla held Ma Linglong's hand , "The one on the left is about to disappear."

"What?" Ma Linglong couldn't help raising her voice, which may be considered a restrained syllable to ordinary people, but to Ma Linglong, it was the first time the sun shone into the habitat of bats , the little monsters in the dark roared in surprise.

Stark usually called it, Ma Linglong surprise.

He slammed his lips into the girl's lips, and kissed unexpectedly: "I love your expression to death." He said, "Okay, hurry up, if you don't want to miss the next action, that snotty one is here Which direction?"

She pointed to the top: "Go through the stairs on the third floor, pass through a scarlet iron door, and then go straight down to the end." When Ma Linglong turned her head, she noticed that Stark reminded her just now. The ladder really disappeared.

Ma Linglong followed Stark up the stairs on the right, and she was surprised to find that Stark knew the changes of each staircase like the back of his hand, as if he had been in Hogwarts for a long time.In fact, ordinary people can't reach his familiarity in three years of school: "How did you do it?" She couldn't help asking.

Stark didn't bring any usable electronics to guide him, and even if he did, it wouldn't help him in any way: "I think you should feel that I am a reliable person at this time, right, you have left Don't leave me, and love me like crazy?" Stark speeded up his pace triumphantly, he squeezed Ma Linglong's hand tightly, and said, "Admit this quickly, and then I will tell you the answer."

"Why, did I give you unreliable hints?" Ma Linglong said, she heard the "dong dong sound" on the hour coming from the direction of the clock tower.

"Don't worry." Stark was going to push open the vermilion door that Ma Linglong said, "If we are doomed to fail, then maybe what we have to do is to change the future." But he found the door in frustration Still motionless.

"Alohomora (alohomora open)." Ma Linglong muttered to the lock on the doorknob.

The lock came loose and the door opened, leading to Slytherin's realm, a shortcut not usually taken by students and teachers.

Ma Linglong walked up to Stark with her wand in her hand, imitating his tone and said, "I think you should think I'm a reliable person at this time, right? You can't leave me, and you love me like crazy? "

Stark patted Ma Linglong's butt unwillingly: "I just love you like crazy."

"Don't tell me you remembered those changing times." Ma Linglong said,

"Unfortunately, I just remembered."

Ma Linglong had to sigh, "Merlin's beard."

Ma Linglong didn't tell Stark what happened to the two students they met just now. Maybe Stark has already discovered the clue, because he is so smart that he can even find the laws of magic, but he Absolutely no idea what that was.

The golden pocket watch that Hermione pulled out from the neckline came from a dangerous magic weapon of the Ministry of Magic. It was called the Time Converter, and it could allow the user to go back in time with a twist of the mainspring. The upper limit was about five hours.There is a small price to pay for using it, and you lose 1 minute of life for every hour you rewind.Of course, this is a very cost-effective deal for users. After all, you already have an hour more than others, so why would you care about that insignificant minute.

The important thing is that when using the time-turner, you must never be seen by others, let alone by yourself at the same time, and extremely bad things will happen.A lesson from the past, in the past, many wizards who used converters bumped into their past selves due to carelessness in the operation process, so they attacked each other with wands, and as a result, either the future self died, or the past self died, or was seriously injured.

Regardless of death or injury, it will cause great mental and physical damage to the wizard who changes the time. No one should change the time, and those who break the law must be punished.

Who would remain calm when seeing someone exactly like himself standing in front of him? The Time-Turner is not a well-known magic weapon, and the user must keep it a secret.

The reason why Hermione was not affected by being bumped into by Ma Linglong and Stark was because the former knew what it was and what she saw. opportunity.Because Ma Linglong had used the converter, she could still see the invisible bonds that appeared around her body after going back in time, which meant that she was different from the people around her.

As for Stark, it is even more impossible to do anything, he will only treat each other as the real Hermione and Harry.

Ma Linglong was not surprised that Hermione could possess such dangerous things at such a young age. Her grades file was completely different from that of other students. Hermione did not fail in every subject and was excellent in all of them.This is obviously impossible, since one-third of the courses are all happening at the same time, unless she can appear in two or even three places at the same time.

But at first, Ma Linglong didn't think of this, she had already forgotten about the Time Converter, after all the ages are so long apart.

"Linglong." Stark said, "What will happen if the operation fails?"

"The consequences are uncertain." Ma Linglong said, "The most optimistic thing is that Peter Pettigrew escaped, and Sirius continued to be wanted but was not caught."

"There are no lawyers in the wizarding world?" Stark said. "If he is arrested again, can't he hire a lawyer, or apply for a retrial?"

"He is not qualified to hire a lawyer, and no lawyer will defend a felon." Ma Linglong said, "Sirius will directly accept the 'kiss' of the dementor."

"I guess that probably has a certain distance from the 'kiss' I imagined."

Ma Linglong wanted Stark to forget what he saw just now, in order to ensure that they could still carry out the "mouse catching operation" as planned, and they could not change the plan they had set at the beginning just because they saw someone from the future.Once you have this idea, the time rule will be broken, and it is very likely that Hermione and Harry will not be able to go back, and they will be trapped in an infinite loop at a certain point in the past.

Ma Linglong can calmly think of nothing, but Stark may not be able to. Normal people will think about their purpose from the future to the past.

Ma Linglong boldly guessed that Dumbledore must have expected that Hermione would run into them, and that was exactly what Dumbledore had planned.The fact that Hermione immediately took out the Time Converter is the best proof. Dumbledore must have told her to do so, otherwise Hermione would never have revealed the secrets about time to outsiders.

"Those dementors are executioners. They suck the soul of criminals out of their mouths, and that person is no different from death." Ma Linglong explained, "I told you, dementors are very scary , is not easy to mess with, and can't even communicate."

"I'm not going to mess with those plastic bags."

They had just arrived at the door of Snape's office, and before they had time to knock, the metal doorknob turned slightly, and the sallow face and black wizard's robe gradually became clear from the crack in the door.

A strong pungent smell came from Snape's room.

He was slightly taken aback when he saw Ma Linglong, and then, Snape immediately scanned the man standing next to Ma Linglong from head to toe with undisguised disgust, and he pursed his thin lips lightly. , as if strangers should not enter.

Stark stared back unceremoniously.

"Follow me." Ma Linglong said to him, she omitted the mutual introduction, a few days ago, Snape and Stark had already known each other.

"Where are you going?" Snape didn't look like he planned to get to know Stark again.

"Screaming Shack." Ma Linglong said.

"Dumbledore told me to stay out of anything," Snape said.

"That was before, now the time is right."

"Unfortunately, I don't intend to participate in the meeting between you and the Muggles." Snape said in a cold tone, "I have nothing to do with the rats."

Stark rolled his eyes. If it wasn't for the fact that Ma Linglong was here, he would have greeted this unkind guy with his fists. The way the other party spoke was completely annoying to him.Snape noticed Stark's eyes, which put him in a bad mood.

"That's it. I still have to fish out the contents of the pot. Those are the materials I will use on Monday. At least I know that I may not be able to find a trustworthy teacher to substitute for me." Snape sarcastically Said in a meaningful tone, "Unlike you, Professor Lillian, your charm is incomparable."

Ma Linglong didn't respond, and didn't walk away immediately, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Hey, let me say, baby." Stark said to Ma Linglong, "This is the guy you have liked for seven school years. As far as I know, you are not a masochist."

"Three years." Ma Linglong corrected him.

"For three years, I've been a little bit jealous." Stark raised his neck high. He was wearing a black windbreaker today. It was used by him before, and Ma Linglong was going to give it to Sirius. Improved wizard robes, very modern style.Stark didn't think about blending in with Hogwarts in terms of dress at all, he had already had enough addiction to wearing wizard robes, "You are actually indifferent to the request of a beautiful girl who has had a crush on you for three years." Stark K said equally sarcastically, "I'm guessing you've never been in a relationship, or you've tried to, but it just fell through."

Snape frowned, ready to close the door.

"I beg you." Ma Linglong said, her tone was as gentle as possible, "I need you to be a witness."

"You must really want to know the truth, don't deny it," said Stark quickly, he didn't even want Snape's name to come out of his mouth, "feel your conscience, if you have one, Touch it and ask yourself, the person you once liked was killed, do you really not want to know?"

"Did you tell him?" Snape said to Ma Linglong in a sullen tone.

"There's nothing worth hiding." Stark continued, "Everyone has a past that is dishonorable. You can choose to avoid it, or you can choose to face them."

Stark didn't give Snape time to respond, but instead said to Ma Linglong: "Honey, why don't you give him some kind of spell to make him listen to you? This will bring him to the scene, Another fixation spell or something, can you beat him, it should be fine, he looks like he has some terminal illness."

Snape's facial features twitched slightly, Stark's words were harsher and more direct than his, and he looked at Ma Linglong, as if to determine whether the girl would really listen to a Muggle's arrangement.

"Yes." Ma Linglong nodded, "A suggestion worth considering."

Of course Ma Linglong didn't do that, because Snape was persuaded in the end, and of course probably bored, but for whatever reason, he followed them.The three avoided the students' sight and came to the back mountain. The Whomping Willow was in front of them. They saw traces of dragging on the ground and the footprints of large animals. Ma Linglong knew that those footprints belonged to Sirius, so he must bite When he got to a big thing, he dragged it under the Whomping Willow.

Ma Linglong turned into a bat, dodging the branches of the Whomping Willow, looking for the knot closest to her, as long as she pressed that, the irritable plant would immediately quiet down.

"I like how she turns into a bat, it's cute, it's so charming." Stark seemed to be talking to Snape, but he didn't care whether the other party would answer, "You know, Linglong's usual voice Not so gentle, of course, I don't mean that I don't like that voice, but after she becomes a bat, her voice is delicate and sharp." Stark said deliberately, "I really want to keep her in a cage."

Snape glanced at him.

"You must not know, this is my little love affair with her." Stark continued, "After all, you have never been in a relationship, and you must not understand some things between couples... You have never seen Linglong acting like a baby Is it right, I've seen it before, it's very sexy."

Snape pretended not to hear.

"Although she has liked you for three years, she only loves me now, and you will never have a chance." Stark said.

"Mr. Stark." Snape said, "I hope you can successfully pass her father's test." He made a low voice, unable to conceal his sense of superiority.

"Of course." Stark bluffed.

The three entered under the Whomping Willow, and they walked for a long time, with Sirius' paw prints and blood trailing along the way.They quickened their pace, and about a quarter of an hour later, a heated argument reached the ears of the three.

The author has something to say: After the mouse hunt is over, Linglong's elders will come to Hogwarts to "catch" people back.
