The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

The headmaster's office at Hogwarts has always been one of the mysterious places, full of magic and spells inside, it maintains a high degree of vigilance but never hesitates to open the door to others.When Dumbledore was alone in this circular room, he would put the new secrets in his mind into the Pensieve and keep them in the Pensieve. Those secrets were contained in small transparent bottles that glowed, twinkling, like A beautiful dream.

The decorations on the huge desk in the room will occasionally change with the different recipients. This mainly depends on Dumbledore's mood. Just like now, he has almost put all the snacks in his collection on it, like showing results.

He certainly wasn't putting on an exhibition, which meant that Dumbledore was more than happy to receive guests who came to visit him.

"To be honest, I doubt that the complaint mailbox of the Magic Congress is a fake." Ma Linglong was sitting in front of the big table in Dumbledore's principal's office. She was eating Bibi's multi-flavored beans, deliberately avoiding some strange flavors, " They actually sent the wand to the bar again, and when I submitted the application, I clearly signed for it, it was like this last time, and it was also like this last time.” [Note]

"And this time." Dumbledore added calmly, "I think they may have defaulted to that address."

Ma Linglong's wand permission application came down within a few days of her arrival in Afghanistan, but Congress sent it directly to the wand owner's home. Together with the wand, they seemed to think that it would be better to keep the owl at home than to let the owl cross the border. Safety.

Ma Linglong's home is actually a bar. She lives behind the iron gate on the second floor of the bar. It is a mysterious area. No one has seen what it looks like behind the iron gate.

When she returned to the bar, she saw the wand lying quietly on the bar, without any outer packaging. Ma Linglong clearly remembered that when she handed over the wand to the congress office, she put it in a beautifully woven pocket Yes, the embroidered pattern is exquisite and beautiful, but Congress did not send it back with the embroidered bag.

Next to it was an envelope, made of brown paper, which contained the official license and precautions for the use of wands, very strict but reasonable regulations, such as the use of offensive spells against Muggles, for whatever reason.It is easy to figure out that wizards like them who have lived in the Muggle world all year round must give up most of their wizarding rights in order to truly integrate into society.This is why many wizards can't adapt to Muggle life. They can't do without wands and are used to using spells to solve problems.

Ma Linglong burned the notice note with fire, she had already memorized that thing fluently, even without a magic wand, she could still live a good life.

What's more, she felt that Muggle items sometimes worked better than spells.

Ma Linglong wrote a letter of complaint to the Congress that night with a "fur ball" (owl), accusing them of losing her brocade bag, and soon she received a reply, which contained only a postcard expressing apology.

Dumbledore also opened a box of Bibby's Beans, carefully choosing the tone that suits him: "How about Hannah's godson, she used to say her godson was a heartthrob, I guess he's pretty handsome? "

"Not bad." The seemingly conservative answer came from Ma Linglong's mouth, and that was already a very high compliment.

Dumbledore smiled all over his face: "It seems that he is more than handsome."

"If it weren't for this wand, I think it would be very difficult for us to get out of the desert." Ma Linglong didn't intend to discuss Stark's appearance with him, and she put the wand that she had snatched from the dark wizard into a pile. In the middle of the snack, "although it pricks my hand every time I use it." The dark wizard's wand will show a rebellious side, especially when Ma Linglong's energy is not enough.

Dumbledore picked it up and muttered slowly: "Fifteen inches, rosewood, with dragon nerves inside."

The whole body of this wand is dark and dumb, with no special carvings or patterns. Except for a skull at the end, it looks like a thicker chopstick. Dumbledore can tell at a glance that the skull was added later , the black magic contained in it.The power of the wand is so powerful that it is difficult for ordinary wizards to control it.

"Lazar has escaped from Azkaban..." Dumbledore obviously knew who the owner of this wand was. Under the half-moon glasses were a pair of bright eyes full of wrinkles. He stared at the wand. Thoughts.

The vicious dark wizard left Azkaban, but the Ministry of Magic did not announce any news to the world, so that even Dumbledore couldn't tell when he escaped.Such a situation is not only abnormal, but also evil, and he has a very bad premonition.

"Didn't you say that Azkaban Prison is absolutely safe?" Ma Linglong said.

"There is no absolutely reliable magic in this world." Dumbledore said, he carefully put the wand into a wooden box, and then sealed it with a spell.

"The unbreakable curse is very strong." Ma Linglong glanced at Phoenix Fox, whose warm feathers were tightly attached to Ma Linglong's skin, "otherwise it is called unbreakable."

"Any spell has loopholes, as long as you can find it." Dumbledore picked up the multi-flavored beans again, "I was really worried that Fox would become your pet one day, but fortunately, this kind of thing never happened." He joked It is not difficult to hear a little real emotion in the slow tone.

The golden phoenix stopped at Ma Linglong's left hand with its long flaming tail. It was Dumbledore's pet and had a gentle temperament.It rested its slender and beautiful neck on Ma Linglong's little arm, and didn't seem to care at all that the owner of the arm was always dangling.Fox likes to stay in that position very much, whenever Ma Linglong appears, he will get very close, and he has never changed his habit for more than ten years. 【Note】

Whenever Fox approached, the dragon-shaped mantra on Ma Linglong's arm would emerge from the skin, emitting a faint golden light, as if responding to the Phoenix's intimacy.

That dragon is the patron saint of the Ma clan, the soul of a real ancient beast.

But it has been troublesome for Ma Linglong for a long time. The existence of Shenlong always makes animals feel uneasy. Magical animals with higher intelligence react more strongly. Only a small number of powerful beasts will not be afraid.At that time, she was too young to control the leakage of the dragon's power. In order not to delay the other students' class, Ma Linglong had to complete the course of "Magic Zoology" (now called "Protection of Magical Creatures") by self-study.Because as long as she's there, don't want the animals to be left alone.

Snape had helped her a lot back then, lending her his notes and telling her about the hippogriff's feathers as hard as blades.

"Anyway, I'll give it to you." After Ma Linglong finished eating the third box of Bibi's multi-flavored beans, she was about to change it to something else, "You can deal with the rest."

"I thought you were the one who was interested in black magic. I was still thinking about who to investigate the Azkaban escape. If that person wasn't you, I might not be able to think of anyone else." Dumbledore He took out a chocolate frog from the dazzling snack table, and put it in front of Ma Linglong, "Guess whose picture it is?" [Note]

Dumbledore's fingers are slender and flexible, no matter whether they are full of traces of time or not.

"Believe me, Severus is a good candidate." Ma Linglong could hear his intentions from Dumbledore's peaceful tone, and she would not let the old man succeed, "He will be very happy with this assignment."

Ma Linglong opened the lid of the box, and before the frog-shaped chocolate jumped out of the wrapping paper, she mercilessly bit down on the frog's head.Ma Linglong thought that Dumbledore knew who belonged to the picture attached to the box, so he picked out this box and gave it to her.

"You are too self-effacing, Linglong, I know that is a virtue." Dumbledore glanced at the picture with a smile on his face, "That's great, you like it, Newt Scamander, and I like it too " said Dumbledore, "in his youth he was as overly modest as you."

"I can hear the sarcasm and the compliment, Professor."

Newt is naturally the unassuming great wizard, but she isn't.

Ma Linglong likes Dumbledore because he has the magic power to conjure delicious food at any time. Ever since she saw Dumbledore transform an empty dining table into a pile of delicious food in the auditorium on the day she entered school, Consider this long-bearded old man an object of worship.In Ma Linglong's third year, Dumbledore had taught her this skill (spell, of course), but the effect was not good.

In addition, the girl understands Dumbledore far more "cunning" and "dangerous" than anyone else.Every word he uttered, even a cough, could be a metaphor with profound meaning.

"Well, I will hand over the investigation task to Snape. After all, you have more important things." He did not show loss, and was as kind as ever, even in the face of a rather difficult incident, Dumbledore Can also handle it with ease.But he would not let go of a chance to tease his proud student. After all, such opportunities were rare during Dumbledore's teaching, "Tony Stark, a handsome guy with great energy, if he has magical talents, I would Guess it's Ravenclaw."

Ma Linglong was not at all surprised that Dumbledore would know about celebrities in the Muggle world, he always knew everything.

"You must have fallen in love with him. I heard that the girls who love him occupy most of the United States." Dumbledore raised his hand, and a plate of teapots flew down from the hanging paintings on the wall. You promised me before that you would return to school to continue teaching after finishing the unbreakable oath, but just now you told me that you still have other things to do and cannot fulfill your promise, but you never break your promise."

"No." Ma Linglong denied it, but faced with Dumbledore's insightful eyes, she had no choice but to change her words, "I mean, he feels different from what I remember, I just want to know more about him He some, give a fair judgement."

Ma Linglong didn't hear complaints from Dumbledore's tone, which didn't mean he didn't mean to blame. Although Dumbledore would not force anyone to do what he didn't want to do, he really hoped that Ma Linglong would come back.

Even the sons of James and Lily couldn't attract Ma Linglong's return, let alone Dumbledore, even the sorting hat in the window could tell that the person Dumbledore was talking about had something for Ma Linglong. How important it is, this is even more miraculous than the news that the Whomping Willow will no longer beat people.Dumbledore couldn't wait to share the news with Professor McGonagall, the lady must have let out a low whoosh of surprise.

You know, since Ma Linglong entered school and even graduated, the number of wizards from Slytherin to other colleges who pursued him was beyond count, and the boys used to have a word with her as a way to show off.

Of course, the girls don't like her, that's normal, even Sirius Black, the girls' prince charming has a good relationship with Ma Linglong, so they are naturally jealous and resentful.

When she was in the fourth grade (12 years old), Ma Linglong publicly admitted that she liked someone, and that person was Snape, but he was not in the pursuit of her, so they never dated.

Today's Ma Linglong broke her promise because of a man, and there was no other conceivable reason other than to show that she fell in love with him.

Dumbledore twitched his silvery brows and flashed an odd and meaningful smile.

Ma Linglong unpacked the rest of the chocolate boxes. This was the seventh one she had eaten. She responded with a mechanical indifference with a blank face: "Professor, your expression makes me feel that I may suffer."

However, Dumbledore smiled more kindly: "Of course not, I swear to Merlin."

"Merlin will be on your side."

"Maybe." Dumbledore took out a five-inch square box from his wide cuff, "leave Hogwarts and open it, it will tell you what to do."

"Professor, you just swore to Merlin just now." Ma Linglong's brows were tightly knit together again. She didn't want to get involved in the wizarding world at the moment, but she still took what Dumbledore handed over.Ma Linglong immediately discovered that a special invisibility spell was cast on the surface of the box, and no one except her could see the existence of the box.

"You would very much like to accept this assignment," said Dumbledore, "if your next step is to go to Azkaban."

Ma Linglong was so surprised by his insight that she had nothing to say. She really planned to go to Azkaban after leaving Hogwarts. It was like a thief who was about to steal and found that his every move was under surveillance. Deng Bullido is the monitor.But he will never tell the truth, so if the thief is too stupid, he will play him around.

Ma Linglong nodded, since a dark wizard can escape from Azkaban, it shows that there is a loophole in that impenetrable cell.Sirius stayed in that horrible place for ten years. During these ten years, what he experienced were terrible experiences that ordinary people could never imagine.

He didn't deserve to be treated like this.

"Remember, Linglong, Hogwarts will keep your position forever. As long as you want to come back, you can take up the position at any time." Dumbledore tapped the desk full of food with his wand, and all the snacks were combined into one A small paper cube, he pushed the small cube in front of Ma Linglong, and said, "These are enough for you to eat until Christmas next year."

"Magic food cannot be brought into the Muggle world."

"Yes, but you never follow the rules."

Walking down the spiral staircase and bypassing the stone beast statue, Ma Linglong and Snape just met at the corner.

"You're back?" Snape said, a smile flickering across his bony face, but that probably wasn't a smile either, just a twitch at the corners of his mouth.

Ma Linglong glanced back, she was sure that Dumbledore summoned Snape, that's why he appeared so quickly: "Just come back to catch up on the past." Her voice was even more gloomy than Snape's.

"I remember you promised Dumbledore to return to work when he was done," Snape said.

"I also told you not to join forces with Voldemort." Ma Linglong said.

Snape stood there with tense shoulders: "It's over."

"Goodbye." Ma Linglong walked past Snape without looking him in the eye.

"Potter." Snape paused, "Harry Potter is very similar to his father, in every way."

Ma Linglong slowed down her pace slightly, and said without looking back, "Is that so, then I hope you don't bring your emotions to work."
