The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Snape's lunch break should be in vain, at least until he ushered in the afternoon potions class, he couldn't stay in his office quietly and do something he wanted to do, such as meditation or something.Steam was coming out of the boiler, and inside was the formula of "rejuvenation water". Green smoke filled the room. Fortunately, the smell was not too pungent. It was the content of his first class in the afternoon, which was prepared for senior students.

"You should go out." Snape couldn't concentrate in the place where Ma Linglong was. Of course, this had nothing to do with love. These smells appeared in his office, "You tried all the potions a few days ago, I hope you are not planning to try it a second time, it doesn't make sense."

Snape never allowed anyone to set foot in his domain, except for Dumbledore, but Dumbledore would not just enter any teacher's room either.But Snape has nothing to do with Ma Linglong, he can't think of any reason to expel her from his private space, don't expect threats or warnings to force Ma Linglong to leave, that will only make their relationship worse very bad.

The girl used to be like this, before those unpleasant things happened, she always made a surprise visit to Snape's "secret base".At that time, Snape liked to hide in a secluded corner outside the campus to make soup. At first, he didn't understand why Ma Linglong was able to find him, until Snape discovered that another place not far from him turned out to be Ma Linglong's territory, she also likes to be alone, very close to the Forbidden Forest.

The two later studied the dark arts together, co-inventing offensive spells.

Ma Linglong was not as obsessed with Snape as the outside rumors said, she never explained why she wanted to get close to him, she just thought that this unknown and quiet boy was very special.Everyone would be curious about different things, and Ma Linglong was no exception. What's more, Snape was one of the rare people who could share his knowledge of black magic with her.

"There are still many combinations that I haven't tried yet." Ma Linglong responded without looking at him, "Go as soon as you have class, and I will pack everything up before you come back."

"How could potions work for Muggles?" Snape said.

Ma Linglong was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Shut up."

Snape needed to be very restrained not to guess whether she had already met Sirius, but the answer seemed to come out, Ma Linglong was thinking of the Muggle named Stark instead of Sirius, or even Lupine, Not even Harry, it is conceivable that Sirius' whereabouts must be within her grasp.

"Where is he?" Snape couldn't help asking.

"Don't say something out of nowhere." Ma Linglong said.

"Blake."

"You know he's there."

Snape took a breath: "Why do you trust him so much?" The words were filled with his hatred for Sirius, Snape couldn't believe that he could talk to Ma Linglong about this in such a calm tone People, "Once it is discovered that you are related to him..."

"I won't be discovered." Ma Linglong interrupted him, "Unless someone reports me." She looked at him and said, "You wouldn't do that, would you?"

Of course Snape wanted to send Sirius back to Azkaban. He initially believed, like everyone else, that Sirius was the informer, and that Lily lost her life because she mistrusted this bastard.Even though Ma Linglong had told him the truth, Snape still persisted in this idea, and he still blamed Sirius, which made him feel much better.

What's more, his hostility towards Sirius didn't just start with Lily's death.

"You're still the same." Snape said after a long silence, "you'll become a madman in order to achieve your goals."

"If you want to satirize me, I advise you to think clearly." Ma Linglong replied unceremoniously, "Compared to your madness, I am still far behind."

Snape snorted, then changed the subject: "Potter didn't get an autograph." He said, coldly and without emotion, "Third year, you know."

"Are you concerned about him or are you sarcastic?" Ma Linglong asked, yes, she knew that only third-year students were eligible to go to Hogsmeade Village, and that's what most young wizards dream of seeing. A place in a complete wizarding village, "If Harry Potter is a girl, it'd be better if she happens to look like her mother, she should be better than now." Ma Linglong said deliberately, "At least not because of The Potions teacher is too mean to study, don't you think?"

Both Lily and James are good at Potions, but this good gene is not reflected in Harry. Without thinking, Ma Linglong knows that the problem must be Snape, his favoritism towards Slytherin and Gryffindor The level has reached the point where the whole school is well known.

Snape could deduct points from Gryffindor for any reason he could think of, especially when it came to Harry.

Snape didn't deny it, his hooked nose moved twice: "How long will you stay in my room."

"I want to stay as long as I want." Ma Linglong said.

"Don't come again tomorrow."

"Then you should at least set a passcode at the door."

Snape paused for a moment, and in a voice that didn't seem to be his, he said through his teeth: "You should go with Potter, you are his godmother."

"Almost." Ma Linglong thought for a while and said, "You haven't changed, Snape, you just show indifference to people you care about, like a fool."

The next day was a Saturday, and the third years were getting extra excited about their first trip to Hogsmeade.Most of the students heard about this place from their parents but had never set foot there, so they had already discussed it during breakfast, and every child who got a signed permission brought the pocket money that had been saved for a long time to prepare Go big.

There are rumors that the village of Hogsmeade and Hogwarts were built in the same period. The former is a treasure land of geomantic omen found by wizards inadvertently in order to avoid the persecution of Muggles.

Hogwarts has very strict regulations on whether students can enter the village, so there is no need for Xiao to think about it in the first and second grades. Only students in the third grade and above are allowed to go there, and not every day.The school has restricted access times, only on certain Saturdays.

The most important and unchangeable rule is that students must have a guardian's signature and permission before the school's person in charge will let you join.

Harry lingered in the hallway of the clock tower and looked very frustrated. He was not able to go to Hogsmeade village with his friends, for which he was very reconciled but there was nothing he could do.Just because Vernon Dursley, Harry's uncle, won't sign the consent form for him, and don't expect his aunt to be more lenient, she hates Harry and anything about Harry even more than Harry's uncle. profitable things.

This means that he may not have the opportunity to go to places that everyone can easily reach during his entire schooling period.

"Potter."

A cold voice sounded behind him, Harry turned his head, with a trace of trepidation: "Professor Lillian." It's not that he doesn't like Ma Linglong, he should like her in the first place.Ma Linglong's photo appeared in the photo album left by his parents, which took up several pages, and the interaction was very intimate.She had a good relationship with her parents, more likely a very good one, since Ma Linglong was Lily's maid of honor.

"I thought you should be with the big troops." Ma Linglong pointed to the group of students outside the teaching building. She planned to go to Hogsmeade Village after lunch and bring Stark some of his favorite snacks and fun toys.

Toys for adults.

"Yes, I mean, it should have been," said Harry awkwardly.

Maybe Ma Linglong felt too much like Snape to him. Harry felt that the cold young teacher in front of him might not like him, and Ron got more attention than him.

Ma Linglong saw the approval form Harry was holding tightly in his hand: "Vernon Dursley didn't sign it for you, did he?" She had met Lily's sister, a typical conservative who was afraid of change and all abnormal things. Phenomenon.She seemed to know Lily was different from an early age, so she had an extreme disgust for her only blood relative.

As for Vernon Dursley, he probably regarded James Potter as a plague god, and Harry was very much like James.

"Show me." Ma Linglong took his approval form and glanced at it before saying, "I'll take you there."

Harry was surprised: "But, the rules say..." He couldn't believe his luck.

"It's good not to be discovered, isn't it." Ma Linglong returned the approval form to him, "I think you should keep your mouth shut, right?"

Harry followed Ma Linglong into the village in such a grand manner, and when he walked past Filch, his heart skipped a beat.Miraculously, Filch didn't stop him, but the cat in his arms let out a slight whine.

Harry, a little timidly, kept his head down, covering his face with his hands whenever anyone passed him by.In fact, Ma Linglong knew that he was not a well-behaved child, otherwise Harry could have refused her invitation instead of following her all the way.

"Don't hide it." Compared to Harry's evasiveness, Ma Linglong took it for granted, "No one can see you now, except me." She cast a hiding spell around Harry, as long as Harry Without leaving Ma Linglong's range, no one would discover his existence, and even his footprints would not be left behind.

"Thank you," said Harry. "Thank you, I didn't think you'd..."

"Why didn't you think of it." Ma Linglong stopped in front of the Duke of Bee's house, she saw Hermione and Ron, "You should have known about my relationship with your parents."

Yes, Harry heard about it two years ago, whether it was from Hagrid or the Weasleys, they all said that Ma Linglong had a very good relationship with the Potters.But Harry really didn't see that she was so cold that Harry couldn't tell from Ma Linglong's facial expression or body language whether she was also friendly to him.

Apparently he couldn't draw a conclusion before that, and Harry didn't even know how to communicate with Ma Linglong. She was so superior, but she didn't seem to be completely.

"Your friend is inside." Ma Linglong said to him, and Harry couldn't concentrate a little bit, he didn't see Hermione and Ron, "Go in and say hello."

"Wait, Professor," said Harry, scratching his hair rumpled, "there are so many people in there, they'll see me."

Ma Linglong didn't answer him, but took Harry's shoulders and sent him in, then went straight to the cashier, Ma Linglong whispered something to the cashier boss.The next moment, the boss immediately beckoned the students to leave the store and go elsewhere. For a while, all the students exclaimed in dissatisfaction.

But the protest was ineffective. In less than a minute, only Hermione and Ron were left in the store. They had just started a series of discussions on the price of the goods, so they didn't leave immediately.

"The two of you can stay." The boss said, and then he turned to Ma Linglong, "Okay, I'll go to the back and get some samples for you and your favorite student, and you can take anything here." He said Smiling to Hermione and Ron, "You can too, for free."

"I don't understand." After the boss left the counter, Harry finally said, "Why..." He wanted to ask why Ma Linglong gave him special treatment, but before he finished speaking, he heard Ron's surprise cry.

"Merlin, it's Harry!" Ron was still chewing on a color-changing jellybean, and he greeted him without thinking of swallowing it down his throat. "Why didn't I see you just now? How did you get here?"

Harry thought for a while and said, "I sneaked here myself." He didn't say Ma Linglong's name.

"You used the invisibility cloak!" Ron woke up, "Oh, Professor Lillian, you're here too! I thought..." He fumbled on Harry's shoulders hastily, "Put it on quickly. Don't let her see your cloak."

Ma Linglong walked to the window and took out the dessert, and said, "Miss Granger, if you can guess the answer, Gryffindor will get 10 points."

"It has nothing to do with the invisibility cloak." Hermione immediately pointed out the crux of the problem. She stepped forward and said word by word, "Concealment spells, special concealment spells, no one can see Harry except us."

Ma Linglong smiled, and raised her arms: "You can buy whatever you want, I'll pay the bill, and I'll give you a minute."

The three children were stunned for about two seconds, and it was Ron who was the first to react. He rushed to the most expensive dessert section in the store first, and hugged a bunch of them in his arms without being polite at all. Can't take any more.

Hermione rationally chose a few items that she wanted to buy just now, not too many and not too expensive.

As for Harry, he stood where he was, not intending to take anything.

"Don't like the stuff here?" Ma Linglong said to him, "Then go to another place later." She has a share in the Honeyduke Candy Store, and Ma Linglong is half the owner of this dessert store, but she knows this Not many people do that.

"No, Professor," said Harry quickly, "I just, I'm kind of, overwhelmed, it was so sudden, I thought you didn't like me."

Ma Linglong handed him a red lollipop: "Then do you like me?" She said, "Since the two of us don't have any emotional basis, as a teacher-student relationship, you will be the first Do you think I'm worthy of liking?"

"No." Harry changed his words quickly, "I mean..." He took the lollipop, "I thought you were like Professor Snape, you hated me because I didn't follow the rules, and my Father is a lot like that."

"Who said you are very similar to your father?" Ma Linglong suddenly said to Ron without waiting for Harry to answer, "Use the levitation spell well, you are already in the third grade, don't forget that you are a wizard, and the wand is used What are you here for?"

The snack in Ron's arms was about to slip to the ground.

"I'm sorry," said Ron. "My wand is broken. It's not working very well." He pursed his lips, helplessly. 【Note】

Harry said: "Professor Lupine said so, and Mr and Mrs Weasley."

"Remember, Harry." Ma Linglong said, "You are nothing like your father."

In fact, Harry also felt that he was very similar to his father, and he couldn't understand what Ma Linglong meant when he said that.

"You are much more polite than him." Ma Linglong added, "At least you add 'Professor' in front of every teacher's name."

Harry smiled shyly.

"You can be hostile to Snape." Ma Linglong whispered, "You should, and you are the most qualified."

Harry looked at her confused. 【Note】

"However, Potions class is very important, Snape will not do anything to you other than deducting points from you." Ma Linglong paused, "I will add as much as he deducted for you. "

Ma Linglong's feelings for Harry did not include family affection or responsibility, and it was just the son of an old friend. After all, they hadn't had much contact so far.Ma Linglong was different from Sirius. Sirius put all his debts to Lily and James on Harry, and Harry really looked like James.More importantly, Sirius is Harry's godfather. When he was in prison, he was thinking of giving Harry the best life and care.

At this moment, Malfoy walked in with his two little followers. He didn't see Harry, but he showed great disgust and contempt for the only two students of the same grade in the whole candy store: " Professor Lillian." Malfoy greeted Ma Linglong, although it didn't look very polite, but that might be the only respect he had for people other than his own father.

Ron's expression looked extremely weird. The moment he saw Malfoy, all the good mood disappeared.Hermione also thought the same way, and Merlin knew that if Malfoy called her Mudblood again, would she give Malfoy a "Fuchsia" in front of Ma Linglong.

"How is your father?" Ma Linglong asked Malfoy suddenly, "Is he okay now?"

Ma Linglong asked Lucius not to be friendly to Malfoy, but just to make sure whether Lucius told his son about their past friendship.Obviously, judging from Malfoy's current attitude, he didn't know. Not only did he not know, he also thought that Ma Linglong wanted to get close to him.

"Of course." He said proudly, throwing his neck back, "My father works for the Ministry of Magic, and every word he says carries weight."

Ron laughed.

"What are you laughing at!" Malfoy felt offended.

Ron shrugged: "You don't seem to have any weight in front of your father."

Malfoy looked very angry, but he wasn't stupid enough to pull out his wand. He planned to use force to solve it, but the two fat boys standing beside him didn't seem to be good at fighting, so they didn't step forward.

"Slytherin deducted 20 points." Ma Linglong said, "Okay, Weasley, Granger, follow me to other places, I will be responsible for your expenses today."

"Why do you deduct points for me!" Malfoy growled, "Once my father finds out that you have treated me like this, you will be expelled immediately!"

"I advise you not to tell your father about this, Draco." Ma Linglong replied lightly.

"You're scared, aren't you?" Malfoy said triumphantly.

Ma Linglong let Harry go out first, followed by Hermione and Ron: "You're mistaken, I'm thinking about your skin." She paused for a moment, and then said, "And, next time you still use Talk to me in this tone, I will deduct 50 points."

The author has something to say: Happy Children’s Day, little angels, and the little angels who leave a message today can receive a small red packet~~

[Ron's wand]: At the beginning of Ha 2, it seems to have been broken by the Whomping Willow. After that, he wrapped it with tape to use it, and it didn't work well.From here, we can see how poor the Weasley family is, and it is difficult to even get the money to repair the wand.

[Note] I kind of forget whether Harry knows that his parents' death is indirectly related to the professor, but it doesn't affect the plot here.
