The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Lupine may not have thought that when he saw Stark again, he would appear in the image of a cat. It was indeed a very large cat, like a young leopard, although Stark did not have the figure of a leopard .But this will not affect Lupine's misunderstanding of Stark's image, and regards his original form as a fat middle-aged man with big ears, although it is indeed very similar.

Lupine didn't think there was anything wrong with Stark like this. After all, as the witch's boyfriend, it was common for him to be accidentally injured by magic.Except that Lupine felt a little weird when Stark stretched out his cat's paw to shake his hand, at first he wanted to pet Stark's head.

But it seems that Stark doesn't like being touched by others except Ma Linglong.

"Hasn't the potion done any harm to his body?" was Lupine's first concern.

"At the moment, it doesn't look like it." Ma Linglong put Stark on Lupin's desk. "At least from this point of view, he is very lively, and..." Ma Linglong pointed to Stark's desk. Chest, "The thing doesn't seem to bother his blood anymore, it's turned into a jewel."

Stark looked down at the direction Ma Linglong was pointing at, and licked the hair on his chest.

Ma Linglong asked Jarvis to scan Stark Cat's body, and the shrapnel near his heart disappeared, replaced by a few tiny bones. Ma Linglong speculated that those fragments might have been affected by the potion and turned into Stark cat Part of Tucker's body.As for the reactor, the radioactive material is still there, but it has become a gem that is connected to his flesh and blood.

"Is this a new discovery that Muggles have no resistance to potions?" Lupine said.

Ma Linglong was noncommittal: "I checked your class schedule, and you don't have class in the morning, so watch him for me."

"Who said not to leave you half a step, sweetheart?" Stark stared at Ma Linglong and said, "Actually, I'm a little sleepy, if you don't mind, I want to go to your office, don't you want Do I sleep in a man's room?" He felt very sleepy after eating and drinking, which was probably due to the cat's skin.

Stark's adaptability is good enough to surprise Professor McGonagall. He is a complete scientist. This is a fact that McGonagall learned very early. the result of.When everyone was sad for Ma Linglong's love, who would have thought that a scientist would not feel any resistance after being exposed to magic, even if he turned into a cat, he would not feel the slightest panic.

However, there are still many complaints.

Stark is bitter about his failure to become a breed cat.

"Lupine will take good care of you." Ma Linglong patted Stark's head and said.

"Or Ms. McGonagall." Stark stood up, shaking his head, "Hey, I don't like the smell here, the whole room smells like dogs." [Note 1]

"Yes, Anthony, you're safe here," said Lupine gently. "Would you like some chocolate?"

"Don't feed my Stark, he's a cat now." Ma Linglong is going to class, and it's inconvenient for her to carry Stark into the classroom, it will cause commotion, and his students will definitely ask Dongwen West, "He may do some weird behaviors, just pretend you didn't see it."

"Could it be weirder than a wizard?"

"Much weirder."

Stark called out to Ma Linglong: "Are you going to leave me alone?"

"I'll be back at noon." Ma Linglong kissed the top of his head, as if she understood what he meant at this moment, "I'll take you around the school in the afternoon."

Stark let out a long mournful cry reluctantly, then he curled himself up, squinted at Ma Linglong and said, "Go, anyway, I can find you no matter where you are, you must not Know how good my sense of smell is, but I want to sleep right now."

Ma Linglong pinched the base of his tail mischievously.

Stark immediately flicked a few times: "What did I say, don't touch my tail, do you think I dare not bite you!" He turned his head and opened his mouth pretending (or maybe really wanting) to bite the horse Linglong's posture, but in the end Stark held back and licked twice perfunctorily, "When I transform back, I will definitely spank your ass, you are a wicked witch."

"Be careful not to be caught by his paws." Ma Linglong said to Lupin, "After turning into a cat, he lost his temper a lot."

Lupine nodded with a smile: "Yeah, I thought he was like that."

Not long after Ma Linglong left, Stark said sleepily with half-opened eyes, "Hey, Remus, do you know why Linglong put me here, she must have gone to meet his first boyfriend. If it wasn't too cold outside, I would definitely follow and scratch him." Stark couldn't help but want to talk to people, even if he knew that what he said now was "meow".

"You mean Lucius Malfoy?" Lupine said, "You can rest assured that they are not as affectionate as you think. I guess everyone didn't understand what love is at that time."

"Wait, did you understand what I said?" Stark asked in surprise, "You can speak cat language?"

"A little bit." Lupine said modestly. "I have dealt with many animals, including cats. I probably know how to communicate with you and receive your information."

"That's really great." Stark moved his body lazily and moved a little closer to Lupin, "I guess Linglong must be a bad student with poor grades, she can't even speak cat language, and she used to skip classes a lot Tell me secretly, I won't say you said it." Stark's sleepiness was reduced by half.

"No, of course not." Lupine said with a smile, "She is one of the best students in Hogwarts, most wizards can't speak cat language, it is very difficult to learn the language of an animal. "

"But you will, you must also be an excellent student." Stark said, "With all due respect, you don't smell very good. Do you take a shower every day?"

Lupine froze for a moment. He raised his arm and smelled it. Although he didn't look so decent, he was definitely considered clean. He would go to the senior boys' bathroom to wash for half an hour every two days: "What is the smell? What, Anthony?"

"It's hard to describe, like some kind of dog." Stark tilted his head in confusion, "Honestly, I don't know why I'm so sure that the smell comes from an animal related to dogs."

"Cat's instinct, I guess." Lupine tensed for a moment. He didn't expect a Muggle to become a cat's sense of smell to be so sensitive. He knew that he smelled like a wolf, even though Lupine was human now. He looks like a werewolf, but he has the blood of a werewolf flowing in his body, "You can sleep for a while, and I will burn up the fire in the fireplace."

"I thought you would tell me about Linglong again." Stark opened his mouth and yawned, "Some private things."

"Are you talking about private matters?" Lu Ping still smiled. "How could she act privately with her friends? Linglong was very conservative before graduation. I think you must know more about this than I do."

"You said he was conservative before graduation?"

Stark's drowsiness was interrupted again not by a conservative topic, but by the sound of heavy footsteps coming towards him. He instinctively pricked up his ears and stared at the door vigilantly, his pupils constricted rapidly.

The footsteps stopped, and just outside the door, someone knocked on the door.

"Take it easy, Anthony," Lupine said reassuringly, "you'll have to act like a cat later on, okay?"

Although Lupine calls him Anthony, Lupine's words are very polite every time, which makes it difficult for Stark to show a fierce side to such a gentle person: "I can sleep with my eyes closed."

The door opened, and Snape walked in. The first thing he noticed was the fat cat napping on Lupine's desk. He was a little surprised, and his black eyes narrowed slightly.

"Linglong's new pet." Lupine said, "Good morning, Severus."

Snape was holding a goblet in his hand. The liquid inside was green and slightly steaming on the surface. It was a werewolf potion, a potion that could keep Lupine awake when he turned into a werewolf.

Snape took a few steps forward and asked suspiciously, "Is this her cat?"

Lupine smiled and said, "Yes, it's called Anthony."

Snape put down the steaming cup, his eyes moved back and forth between Stark and Lupin: "How could she keep such a stupid looking cat?" Taste has a considerable understanding, he thinks that from a girl's perspective, the fat cat in front of him will never become her new favorite, "Where's the bat?"

"Aha, I know who you are, snot-nosed." Stark snapped his eyes open, his amber eyes staring at Snape without blinking.

Lupine laughed, but couldn't help it.

Snape stared at Lupine as if his pride had been trampled on: "Did I say something that amused you, Lupine?"

"No, Severus." Lupine kept smiling. "I'll drink your medicine while it's hot, thanks."

"Of course you'll have to drink it while it's hot," said Snape grimly. "After all, as a werewolf, with fugitives..."

"No, Snape." Lupine interrupted, because Stark was here and he didn't want Snape to reveal any more secrets about himself, "You can leave now, thanks again for the medicine. "

"What are you afraid of?" Snape took a step forward.

By this time Stark had stood up.

"There's no one else here, I'm just talking about the facts." Snape said in a sarcasm tone, "Although Professor Dumbledore vouched for you, I don't believe in werewolves at all, especially those like you who are with fugitives .”

"Sirius is not the murderer, he was wronged." Lupine said, he could no longer maintain his demeanor, "For Linglong's sake, I hope our conversation ends here."

Snape raised his arm, it was an unconscious move, he didn't want to do anything, but he immediately felt a pain: "Damn you, cat!" He suddenly remembered the cat's name, that For a moment he was in shock, and a terrible thought rushed into Snape's mind.

Stark scratched him hard: "Hurry up and get vaccinated, snot, be careful of rabies."

Snape drew his wand, intending to teach Stark a lesson.

Lupine immediately hugged Stark under the table and hid him: "Anthony is Linglong's cat, if you dare to act irrationally towards him, first think about whether you can beat Linglong, or you Want to be beaten up by her in front of the whole school?"

"He?" Snape said on purpose just now, "Who is he!"

"A cat," said Lupine nervously. "An ordinary cat."

"Don't stress 'normal', Lupine." Snape crossed the table, trying to get a closer look at the cat, but Stackten jumped up from the ground and pawed him in the face.

"It seems that you are also a student with poor grades." Stark stood proudly on the table, "Because you can't speak cat language."

Snape growled angrily, "The cat is that Muggle!"

"No, he's not, I mean, it," said Lupine to Stark. "Go drink your milk and don't stay here, Anthony."

"I'm helping you, this guy made you unhappy just now." God knows Stark just wanted to find a reason to tease Snape, "I can feel it, it's so interesting, I can still hear your heartbeat , This idiot is so angry, being a cat is really a good job, much more interesting than being an Iron Man."

"Anthony Stark." Snape covered his face and said angrily, "She actually brought that Muggle into the school, is she crazy!"

"You have to ask Linglong."

Snape met Stark's eyes with hatred.

"If you really think this cat is the one you said," Lupine said, "I advise you to give up the idea of ​​hurting him."

But Stark made a crawling movement to fight, he twisted his buttocks, and flicked his tail: "Come on, come on, do you think I am unfamiliar with your little stick, your wand is as ugly as your face."

Snape was almost sure that the cat in front of him was Stark. For a wizard, it was easy to be sure, and he didn't even need a reason.He was very angry, but he couldn't do anything to the cat, he couldn't even point to the cat's nose and give him a good beating.

"Don't let him leave this room." After a long time, Snape slammed the door and left.

Stark licked his paw: "Will Linglong be fired because of me?"

"No." Lupine breathed a sigh of relief, "You seem to know Snape, you call him Snotluck, that's a nickname given to him by a friend of mine."

"I think your friend is named James Potter." Stark said, "I have read Linglong's memory, and I know more than you imagined, otherwise why do you think I let you enter? House, when in Washington DC."

"You're the most special Muggle I've ever met."

"Of course, I'm unique." Stark raised his head, "However, Linglong didn't let me see a lot, for example, I didn't know you were a wolf, and your smell finally got a reasonable explanation. "Stark didn't understand werewolves, so he naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with a werewolf being a teacher.

"It's not a wolf." Lupine explained, "It's a werewolf. Linglong is a considerate girl. She knows that I don't want everyone to know about this."

"Sounds cool," Stark said. "Werewolves or something."

"Not cool at all." Lupine forced a smile. "I regret not being able to attend your birthday party because it was a full moon and I was getting out of control."

"There's nothing to regret." Stark really wanted to forget the unbearable memory of that day, "I'm so glad you didn't come."

The corridor in the teaching area was very quiet, and the students were still in class. Lucius Malfoy led Draco to Dumbledore's office.He always kept his light blonde hair smooth and smooth, and they looked very beautiful outside the soft texture of the wizard's robe. Lucius' face was very pale and looked a little unhealthy, and he was full of anger. The expression was exactly the same as that of his son.

"Father." Draco pointed forward, "Professor Lillian."

Lucius was startled for a moment, then his gray-blue eyes showed a hint of joy, and his expression eased a little: "Long time no see." When Ma Linglong approached him, Lucius tried his best to keep his voice It sounds pleasing enough.

Draco noticed that his father no longer raised his neck to look overly proudly.

"It's not very long." Ma Linglong said, "It's only two years." Because she was worried about Stark, Ma Linglong hurried to the teacher's office area after the first class. Obstacles, let alone this one in front of him.

"I heard you met one, Muggle?" Lucius chose a euphemistic word carefully.

"Your version is outdated." Ma Linglong said coldly, "I'm already dating him."

"No..." Lucius paused, "I mean, you don't have to fall in love with Muggles, you have many choices."

Ma Linglong sneered, and deliberately said, "What are the choices you mentioned, do you?"

"No." But Lucius' expression didn't seem to be negative, he might have taken Draco into consideration, and then he pulled Draco in front of Ma Linglong, "Apologize quickly."

"What?" Draco looked up at his father incredulously, "Why?"

"You ask me why?" Lucius' tone without any emotion sounded very cold, "You said something rude to your teacher, I think you must remember, you told me, you contradicted in front of other students she."

"It's her that's unfair." Draco couldn't help wondering if the person in front of him was his father. Lucius would never ask him to apologize to anyone, let alone act like a soft-spoken coward.

"Sorry, now!"

Draco was terrified by Lucius' anger, and he was sure it was his stern father, only a little weird today.Draco had to express a reluctant apology to Ma Linglong. He still remembered how ugly his father's face was when he went back to tell his father about his performance in Ma Linglong's class that day.

If it wasn't for his mother's obstruction, his butt would definitely be in pain.

"What happened to his arm?" Ma Linglong asked casually.

"It's nothing." Lucius pulled Draco back, "I hurt it in class."

"Whose class?"

Draco's arm was wrapped in bandages, as if it was broken or fractured, but seeing Draco's energetic appearance, Ma Linglong suspected that it was neither.

"I can handle this kind of trivial matter myself." Lucius raised the corners of his mouth and said to her in a gentle tone, "Then, that's it, I'll take Draco first..." He paused, "Go Madam Pomfrey to change the dressing." 【Note】

"If it's serious, you should go to the hospital."

"Yes." Lucius pressed Draco's head, forcing his son to salute Ma Linglong, "Thank you for your concern."

Draco obviously couldn't understand his father's cowardice, he seemed to have been threatened or frightened, and acted in a panic in front of Ma Linglong.Draco thought that Ma Linglong was just a teacher from a foreign country who was loved by his students. He had no family background and was not worth being afraid of.At least in the UK, the Malfoy family has a great say, and Lucius can make some old guys in the Ministry of Magic at his mercy.With just one word, Ma Linglong would definitely have to wrap up and leave immediately.

"Father, I don't understand." Draco asked, "What is she, why didn't you tell her that we are going to find Dumbledore?"

"Shut up!" Lucius growled angrily, "You must not tell your mother what happened today."

Draco only had minor skin trauma to his arm when he was attacked by a griffin in Hagrid's Fantastic Beasts class.In fact, it was caused by Draco provoking beasts without following the rules in order to show himself. It had nothing to do with Hagrid, nor had it anything to do with the Gryphon.

Lucius asked the doctor to bandage Draco's arm several times, and hung it around his neck with a cotton rope, which seemed to be a very serious bone injury. The purpose was to embarrass Dumbledore. The Ministry's influence demanded that Dumbledore expel Hagrid, and that the disobedient Gryphon should never stay in the school.

But Ma Linglong couldn't let Ma Linglong know about this matter, at least she couldn't let her know in advance. Lucius knew very well that once Ma Linglong knew his purpose, the girl could destroy his plan without saying too much.

"Remember, Draco." Lucius pressed Draco's shoulder tightly and said, "Don't provoke her, don't give her a chance to dig out your secrets."

When Ma Linglong left Lupin's office with Stark in his arms, Stark was sleeping soundly, and his snoring was human-like.Lupine said that Snape had visited a few hours ago, and there had been a less intense confrontation between a man and a cat, and Snape might have discovered the cat's secret.

"You don't like Snape?" Ma Linglong blew into Stark's ear, and slapped the pointed cat ears twice.

"You like Snape?" Stark rested his head on Ma Linglong's shoulder, half-closed his eyes, and noticed that not far away, the man whose face was scratched by him was walking towards this side quickly. come over.

Stark's claws were ready to move again.

"You shouldn't scratch his face." Ma Linglong said amusedly, "How do you let him face the students?"

"It was Lupine who made me behave like a cat, pawing is exactly what I want to express, the normal behavior of a cat." Stark called lazily, "Okay, look behind, snot Jing asked you to settle the score, I think I can leave some souvenirs for the other half of his face."

The author has something to say: [Note 1]: It is not the smell of dogs, but wolves, but Nini is not very good at distinguishing the smells of dogs and wolves.
