[Comprehensive Anglo-American] The guest on the other side of the refrigerator

The word "also" in her words is enough to reveal a lot of information.Su Su's mouth was slightly opened, and she was obviously stunned for several seconds before she said, "Layla, are you a wizard?"

Su Su asked such a rhetorical question, Leila wanted to be stabbed suddenly, and suddenly withdrew the hand that was pressing on Su Su's shoulder.The gray-blue eyes first glanced at Su Su, and finally confessed with determination: "Yes."

A wizard who mixed into the No-Maj society, even though she was desperate to make this decision at the time, Leila still showed some fear at her age after being debunked.Leila knew that she had exposed too hastily, but she had never met a second wizard in her normal life. When she noticed Su Su, she knew that the other's face was definitely not her in Ifamor. An alumnus of the Neighborhood School of Magic.

"There are wizarding schools in the United States?"

As a result, Su Su's words made Leila choke. She waved her hand to politely reject Su Su's offer to pat her back. After she stroked her chest to calm down, she raised her eyebrows very high, looking very unbelievable.This kind of Leila is so different from the image of the high-cold scholar that Su Su usually sees, so that Su Su thinks that this kind of Leila is rather cute.

Leila pulled Susu's familiar wand from the pocket under her apron.

"Close your earplugs and listen."

Layla pocketed her wand again after casting a spell that would prevent anyone from hearing their conversation in the house.

"Of course, otherwise, how do little wizards in America learn magic? Her name is Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and I graduated from there. Speaking of which, where is your wand?"

"All I know is Hogwarts... Well, Layla, I'm not actually a wizard."

Su Su felt that she had brought too much shock to Leila today, and she thought it might be better for her not to name the magical animal at first.Su Su didn't know how the wizarding community in the United States got along with ordinary people. Even though there was a close relationship between the two in the UK, wizards who were born in Muggles rarely returned to life in modern society. of.Susu doesn't know the reason for her friend to come to New York alone, but she reveals Lila's identity-the biggest secret she holds, and it is a potential danger to Leila's safety. .

"Aren't you a wizard?" Leila frowned, her gray-blue eyes were full of suspicion, as if she was dissatisfied with her first identifying herself as a wizard, while Su Su was still twitching, "I Saw you Apparate a few times while catching the subway."

When Leila said this, Su Su suddenly thought that her first impression of Leila was that she accidentally stepped on her foot on the subway.

"That's not magic. I'm not a wizard, but I'm not an ordinary person either. That's my own special ability."

In exchange for secrets, Su Su also told Leila about her abilities.For Leila, who has lived in modern society for a long time, it is much easier for her to accept new things outside the wizarding system than those wizards who are self-styled.

"superpower?"

"more or less."

Saying that, Su Su held Leila's wrist, and the two of them came to the place where the sundries were placed in an instant from the position by the door.

Xueba girl upholds a strong thirst for knowledge, and even wanted to ask clearly at first.But Leila quickly suppressed the doubts in her heart. On the one hand, she felt that this was a respect for her friend's privacy, and on the other hand, she had more important things to ask Su Su.

"But you named Fantastic Beasts and Hogwarts."

When Leila mentioned it, the memories of the months of living in Hogwarts flooded back, and Su Su realized that it was also snowing time again.The ancient and charming castle, as well as the people living there, all clearly appeared in her mind one by one, Su Su said with a sigh that she had never noticed: "Probably because I stayed there for a while time."

The two girls held the hot drinks bought from the coffee shop next door, and sipped the bread that Leila generously provided in the shop. They nestled in the shop and chatted happily all morning.The store manager is a cheerful little brother, and he didn't show any dislike for the behavior of the two little girls, saying that he can handle it alone.

"Is this store manager related to you?"

"His grandmother was also a wizard, she and my grandmother were cousins."

Su Su stared at Leila's unconscious movement of twisting her hair when she spoke, and touched her shoulder understandingly: "It sounds like the relationship is quite distant, and the two of you will not be in danger of getting married by close relatives."

After reacting, Leila blushed, "Say... what are you talking about!"

When returning to school for class, Lisa put her hands on her hips and stared at Susu and Leila suspiciously: "Why do I feel that after Thanksgiving, your relationship will suddenly improve."

The two people who had mutual little secrets looked at each other and said in unison: "No."

Lisa sighed: "Sure enough. Did you go out to play together behind my back? Tell me quickly."

Leila couldn't handle Lisa's clingy behavior at all, so she winked at Su Su in private, said she still had something to do, and left in a hurry.

Su Su hugged her friend who acted like a spoiled child to her, often when Lisa did this, she would always give in to Lisa.And Lisa's cute "little temper" often flares up on some innocuous things, Su Su will not be angry, and even very happy that Lisa can value her as a friend so much.

"My best friend is still Lisa. I'm the first to tell you about my plan to go to England for Christmas vacation."

"Xiao Su, why do you suddenly want to go to England? For Christmas, you can ask your parents if they want to come and celebrate with you, or you go back to China?"

When Lisa mentioned her parents, Su Su pursed her lips and smiled.

"It's Christmas at my house, so I probably won't be able to see each other. What Lisa likes, I'll buy you some small gifts then."

"Please, Xiao Su, you are really cunning, if you want to give me a Christmas present, shouldn't you prepare it in private."

Su Su waved her hand: "The presents I brought when I went out to play are not Christmas presents, they are souvenirs."

Lisa, who has cultural differences in this regard, obviously cannot understand the habits formed by the long-standing etiquette and customs in China.

When the Christmas trees were decorated on the streets of New York, there was a heavy snowfall. Fortunately, the snow did not last long. Su Su arrived in London as scheduled on the previously scheduled flight.

Su Su hailed a taxi and checked in at the hotel.After putting away her luggage, Su Su arrived at Hogwarts directly in the hotel room.

Unlike the gloomy but snow-free weather in London, Hogwarts is surrounded by the rustling white snow into a quiet world.The black lake that Su Su once looked at from the tower was covered with a thin layer of ice, and the sudden cold temperature made Su Su pull the scarf all the way to cover her mouth.During the Christmas holidays, most of the Hogwarts students had returned home. There were only a handful of students and staff in the castle. It was still afternoon, and the castle looked deserted without lights.

Su Su didn't dare to go inside the castle. Although Hogwarts was her destination, she knew that Dumbledore in this timeline might have passed away, and perhaps the current headmaster, McGonagall, would not know him. she.She didn't want to cause more trouble for this, even though her actions had disturbed the tranquility of the castle.

Leaving deep and shallow footprints along the lake, when she finally saw the white marble tomb, Su Su's heart was suddenly lifted, but she was gently put down in the end.It's like a riddle that she already knew the answer to, but she is still struggling to solve it.

There is only a thin layer of snow on the top of the tombstone. Compared with its surroundings, someone probably always comes to blow the snowflakes off it.But it itself is integrated with this landscape, even if it is covered by heavy snow, it is only a white piece.

The breath Su Su exhaled was actually the only abrupt existence in the world. She stretched out her hand to rub it, and then swept away the snow covering the tombstone.

"I finally saw snow at Hogwarts, and it's really beautiful. Even though I've been told Ifabuny is the best school in the world, I still think Hogwarts is."

"Thank you for all the help you have given me in the past, Headmaster Dumbledore...even though you don't know me."

The patrolling people in the distance found her and shouted something to her from afar, but it was too far away, and the voice was blown away by the bitter cold wind.Su Su didn't even know if the guard at Hogwarts was still the big Hagrid, she disappeared in place before the guard rushed over.

In Su Su's original plan, only going to Hogwarts was the clearest goal. After Su Su finished, she seemed a little at a loss as to how to plan for the rest of the vacation.She used the hotel's wireless to search for famous attractions in London, marked them and set off.

Su Su received a call from Tony halfway.

Tony was sitting on the armchair in the office, and he was the only one in the huge room. Whether he was blowing his beard and staring or knocking on the table angrily, there was no audience who could cheer him on.

"You went to London? Alone?"

"Tony? What's wrong?"

Hearing Su Su's suspicious tone on the other end of the phone, he didn't get angry.It was a rare holiday, and he made a detailed plan a few days earlier, wanting to invite girls to have a perfect Christmas.As a result, she flew directly to the UK without saying a word, which made Tony even faintly feel a little bit of grievance after failing to hope.

"You sent paint to the captain, a woolen scarf to Natasha, gloves to Barton, and even Thor received a brief history of the world. And I'm a pair of cuffs?!"

After a while, Su Su's voice reached his ears through the phone.

"Don't you like Tony?"

In fact, no, she gave everyone a cheap gift, but everyone liked it, Tony himself was no exception.But when he received the Christmas gift early, he realized that the Christmas plan he had arranged enthusiastically before was completely put on hold.

"I thought you'd stay home and I'd pick you up."

In the end, that was all Tony said.

On the other end of the phone, Su Su was obviously taken aback.

"...well, Tony, I'm sorry."

However, getting her apology is not Tony's goal, and even this result makes him extremely frustrated.He took a deep breath, and when he was about to speak, he found that the other end of the phone had been hung up.He called back, and when it said he couldn't get through, Tony cursed under his breath.

"Tony, are you okay?"

The little pepper who came in halfway bent his mouth, teasing with a hint of concern.

Tony tried his best to calm down, but his frown still revealed his bad mood.Potts had noticed something was wrong with Tony in the morning, but what could make him so unhappy.

"Pepper, are you done?"

Pepper shrugged: "Know that you should have done all of this."

Tony stood up and walked over to give her a hug.After a brief hug, Pepper put the document in Tony's hand, and briefly explained some recent important matters.This shrewd and capable woman has already won Tony's trust, but Pepper still maintains her habit of reporting things to Tony when she was a secretary.

"Tony, a date is not something you arrange and notify the other person. Except for your salary, you can't let other girls be on call."

Hearing Pepper's topic change, Tony paused casually flipping through the file: "Honey, you eavesdrop on my phone call."

"Please, you speak so loudly, unless I plug my ears."

After Pepper finished speaking, he also gestured towards the spread hand.

Tony gave a dry wow, didn't take his eyes off the file, but after a few seconds he responded to Pepper's words.

"You're right."

"But I still want to fight her."

Pepper frowned: "As you like, Tony, Merry Christmas."

Tony then turned to look at her: "Are you going to celebrate Christmas?"

Pepper looked at him suspiciously: "I don't have the right to celebrate Christmas. I have a dance, tonight, and now I have less than five hours left to dress me up."

"Well, Merry Christmas and have fun."

When Tony was alone in the office, he sat down again, took out the pair of cuffs he had put in his arms in the morning, and stroked them carefully.The original idea of ​​changing the cuffs was not implemented in the end, Tony just touched its texture, and then put him back in his pocket.

Su Sugang said sorry to Tony, and the sudden explosion caused the phone in her hand to slip out.Su Su moved to the opposite street in disgrace, which was not affected by the blast, and took a breath holding the pole of the street lamp.

The street that was originally full of Christmas atmosphere suddenly turned into a scene of casualties. After the brief blasting sound passed, the crowd's cries and screams filled Su Su's ears.

"are you OK?!"

Amidst all the screams, this strange concern was all the more obvious.Su Su raised her head and opened her eyes slightly in surprise when she saw John Watson.

Watson apparently also recognized the strange girl who suddenly appeared at the apartment while ill.

"It's you??"

And if Watson didn't pay attention, Sherlock beside him had already gone straight to the scene of the explosion.
