The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

There were no paw marks on Snape's face, not even a trace of blood left, and a simple restoration spell would not trouble a wizard like him.Although Stark's claws were sharp, they were only insignificant skin traumas, but what he might have really caused to Snape was a blow to Snape's self-esteem.

Stark was a little bit sorry for this, it was his masterpiece when he first arrived in the wizarding world, and he thought it could last for two or three days.

"Hey, snot, you look even worse." Stark stared intently at Snape with his amber eyes, as if preparing to hatch some conspiracy, and Snape already had a crush on the cat. On guard, he avoided Stark's gaze and turned his face directly towards Ma Linglong.

"Say something to my office." Before Snape could speak, Ma Linglong spoke first. She sent Stark over her shoulder, dragging the cat's buttocks with one hand, and wrapping the cat with the other. Looking at the cat's back, "Since what you want to say needs to be kept secret."

Snape gasped for breath, and followed Ma Linglong into her office. After entering the door, Ma Linglong cast a prohibition spell on the door: "Speak, I'll give you 3 minutes."

"The cat," said Snape, subconsciously showing disdain in his eyes, "you've gone to great lengths to bring him to school."

"Speaking of which, Snape." Ma Linglong put Stark on the table, she used her wand to summon a soft golden velvet blanket and folded it into a circle, Stark moved up happily , and quickly rolled into a big white ball, "Do you have an antidote for the transforming water, the omnipotent one."

"You don't think it's a big deal, Linglong?" Snape said with a suppressed voice, "Even if the Ministry of Magic finds out that you brought Muggles into the school, do you think you won't be punished?"

"I believe I won't be punished in any way, and I don't want to bring Stark to school in this way. In theory, he is not a Muggle now." Ma Linglong stroked Stark's not so smooth Mao Mao, "He took my transformation water by mistake, and it took three days to change back. I can't leave him alone at home. If you think you can help me solve this problem, I think I will try to thank you."

"There's never been anything like that," Snape said without thinking long. "Muggles can't just drink wizard's antidote."

"He just drank the wizard's transformation water." Ma Linglong said, "Okay, is there anything else, if not, I'm going to take a nap."

In fact, Snape didn't even have time to say a word, since he was always interrupted by Ma Linglong since he was a child.Snape twitched his mouth, expressing his displeasure.

"What?" Stark stroked his sharp claws, "Do you want to experience the feeling of being scratched again? Believe me, I won't show mercy this time."

Snape put on his cloak with a look of wariness: "Are you serious, you and him?" His disgust was not directed at anyone, Snape treated most people (whether wizards or Muggles) ) lacks respect, he's actually a bit like Stark in that respect, and hates dealing with idiots.

But he also doesn't like being around self-righteous people.

"It's come to this point, do you think I'm just kidding with him?" Ma Linglong rubbed Stark's neck, "Okay, since you've already discovered him, why don't you get to know each other, Stu Tucker, he is Snape, Severus Snape. Snape, he is Stark, Tony Stark."

One person and one cat looked at each other with extremely unfriendly eyes at the same time.

"Want to shake my hand, snotluck?" Stark stretched out his furry ball, but didn't withdraw his paw.

However, Snape was unmoved: "I have already investigated, about what you said, the Weasley family mouse." Suddenly, Snape said a topic that interested Ma Linglong, "If you That being said, there was something eccentric about that mouse, it had been in the Weasleys' house for 12 years, which is consistent with the circumstances at the time, but it doesn't prove that he was Peter Pettigrew."

God knows what method Snape used to get this news, Ma Linglong can imagine that when Ron was called into the office alone by Snape to ask about his mouse, whether the little red-haired boy thought that Snape To confiscate his precious mouse.

"I thought you were determined to see Black sent to prison." Ma Linglong said, she knew that Snape didn't want to thank him, and he didn't need to thank him. He didn't really want to help Sirius clean up his grievances, Snape Everything that Pu did against his will was for Lily.

"Yes." Snape said bluntly, "but you are too busy after all." He glanced at Stark, "Don't pin your hopes on a mouse and convince everyone that Black is innocent , Even if you find the mouse, it won’t work. If Peter Pettigrew is indeed treacherous and cunning, then even if his identity is confirmed, it can be said that he hid because he was afraid of Black, and the Ministry of Magic prefers to believe the words of the weak.”

Snape knew Peter Pettigrew, he once despised that little boy who followed James Potter all day, he was so condescending.At least at the time, it seemed that Peter Pettigrew had absolutely nothing to do with Voldemort. He was cowardly, timid, and his image was not good enough, not to mention that Gryffindor, who was better than him, could be caught everywhere.

His only bargaining chip is probably from a pure-blood family.

When Snape was a Death Eater, he didn't hear about Peter Pettigrew from Voldemort or other Death Eaters. Maybe Voldemort deliberately covered it up, maybe he thought Peter Pettigrew was not worth it. carry.In short, Snape was largely skeptical that Peter Pettigrew had followed Voldemort.

He was not at all the type Voldemort could have liked.

Voldemort loves those pure-blood wizards with extraordinary talents. He even has some requirements on the appearance of his followers. Ma Linglong is one of the targets he recruited. The talent and talent for black magic shown by the girl are completely in line with it. Voldemort's needs.

At that time, Snape was already a Death Eater. Although he was still very young and had just graduated from school, he was a very important subordinate of Voldemort. He was really important, not just used.

It was Snape who recommended Marlin to Voldemort, and that was the second most regretful thing he ever did.

Snape almost killed Ma Linglong, he thought the girl's obsession with black magic was the same as his.

After he lost Lily's approval, Snape thought that at least he could be the one with whom he had the most tacit understanding, and maybe the only one. He thought that Ma Linglong, who could be regarded as a friend, continued to study black magic together. The real consideration of the heart.He didn't do it just to curry favor with Voldemort. Snape has never been afraid of Voldemort, no matter how terrifying his power and ambition.

On the contrary, Snape respected him very much, so among the many Death Eaters, Snape was particularly special.He was loyal to Voldemort because he respected him, while most Death Eaters were out of fear. The former was valuable and what Voldemort wanted.

Voldemort recognized Ma Linglong's ability, and he agreed to Snape's recommendation, which made him very happy.

So, he brought the news to Ma Linglong, telling her that she would have the opportunity to get in touch with the greater dark magic.

However, Snape was wrong. Ma Linglong did not study black magic because she was obsessed with those dark forces. Her real purpose was to destroy, destroy all spells related to black magic.Who would have thought that Ma Linglong had such a goal in mind since she entered school. She seemed to be the type of person who entered and exited with Voldemort, and she happened to be a Slytherin.

But she was not what they imagined at all, Ma Linglong hid herself very deeply, she agreed to Snape's invitation almost without any consideration.If Snape knew that Ma Linglong's purpose was actually to fight Voldemort face to face, he would never have taken her there.

Ma Linglong was 15 years old at the time, she was too young, even though her city was deep enough among her peers, Voldemort still saw through her at a glance.But she was not at all afraid of facing the Dark Lord, whom every wizard dared not even mention by name, and she suddenly set up a barrier, shielding all the Death Eaters outside, only she and Voldemort inside.

Snape didn't know where Ma Linglong's courage came from, but later he knew that the girl came to avenge those foreign students who died at the hands of Voldemort and studied with her at Hogwarts.

Voldemort was not defeated, of course, and Ma Linglong was so vulnerable in front of him that he didn't even take any damage, at least not from the outside.After the barrier collapsed, Snape saw Ma Linglong lying on the ground with bruises all over his body. His whole body seemed to be in the ice cellar without feeling any warmth, and his internal organs ached like being repeatedly bitten by something.

Until Ma Linglong got up again, but she couldn't stand up as usual, her legs twisted to the sides, obviously broken, or the bones were completely shattered.

But Voldemort's expression was not at all like the joy of victory, but annoyed, as if he was the one who was defeated, and he pointed his wand at Ma Linglong's heart.

No one stood up to intercede for the girl, including Snape and Lucius.In fact, more than half of the Death Eaters were once Ma Linglong's classmates, and there were many close friends, but at this moment, it seemed that no one knew her.

Except for Hannah, who rose from the crowd weeping and begged Voldemort to forgive a child for her ignorance, an act that resulted in her death not long after.

When everyone thought that Voldemort was about to say "Avada Kedavra" to Ma Linglong, he only uttered a few extremely fierce attacking spells and hit Ma Linglong's body, but none of them fell. on the girl's body.And even though Ma Linglong was seriously injured, she smiled like a flower, and the pain didn't seem to have a threatening effect on Ma Linglong.

Not only that, but Ma Linglong continued to stimulate him with his weak voice, like someone who wanted to die.

Snape swore that he saw that Lucius' face was paler than usual, and it might be Ma Linglong's smile that kept him from fainting.Or he didn't dare to fall down, Lucius certainly didn't want Voldemort to misunderstand that he had anything to do with Ma Linglong, Snape wasn't sure because he was also a little out of breath.

Everything happened so suddenly that Ma Linglong didn't give anyone a chance to prepare, as if it had been planned for a long time.

Voldemort did not kill Ma Linglong in the end. This may be the reason why Snape was still willing to follow him at that time. No one knew why Voldemort was willing to let her go, let alone allow others to do extreme things to Ma Linglong. It can be seen how much Voldemort gritted his teeth when he gave this order.

Voldemort cast a Cruciatus Curse on someone who suggested skinning Marlin Long and hanging her body on the Hogwarts walls.Apparently Voldemort wasn't fighting for Ma Linglong, he was venting his anger because he couldn't use this on Ma Linglong.

It was definitely not Hannah's plea that was answered, because Voldemort's appearance was so terrifying that he was about to use all the Unforgivable Curses on Ma Linglong, after all, she really deserved to die.

"I've thought of this a long time ago." Ma Linglong interrupted Snape's memory, "I've already asked my friend to investigate the incident on that street."

"Muggles again?" Snape frowned.

"Don't underestimate Muggles." Ma Linglong said pointedly, "Before you have seen their horror."

The last class in the afternoon was "History of Magic". Stark saw the little wizard's class as he wished. There was no surprise at all. This is Stark's evaluation.He probably doesn't have any longing for magic anymore. He concluded that magic is not as good as science. Stark's thinking is already very avant-garde, and his speed of accepting new things is comparable to the speed of light.In the form of a cat, Stark's thinking became more jumpy, and he seemed to have grasped the truth of the universe on the first day he came to Hogwarts.

"Egoist." Ma Linglong tugged at Stark's cat's tail, "Let's wait until you turn back into a human."

"Hey, you touched my tail again!" Stark glared at her. "Remus, turn into a werewolf and bite her, right now."

"I'm afraid not, Anthony," said Lupine amusedly. "It's not the full moon yet."

Stark can bite Ma Linglong by himself, the girl's hand is always rubbing against the surface of his fur, as long as he turns his head and opens his mouth, but he will not be stupid enough to do such a thing, he will Instigate the drudgery to be done by others: "Yes, then, Sirius, you should be able to."

"No, Anthony." Sirius said, taking a bite of the bread. "No one dares to bite her. Do you know how terrible it is when she gets angry?"

"That's it," Stark said, wagging his tail. "A kiss will do it."

"That's for you." Sirius said, "I guess Linglong has used all her patience on you."

Stark threw his neck back, the sapphire on his chest gleaming.

They were in the Screaming Shack now, like some kind of secret meeting, Marring, Stark, and of course Lupine and Sirius, all four chatting and laughing in the safety of this place.

But Ma Linglong felt that there were only three.

Surprisingly, Sirius also understands cat language. Well, he is a dog. After all, dogs and cats are two animals with very close spiritual power fields. You can see that he and Hermione's cat also get along happily.This meant that Ma Linglong became redundant, and she thought that Stark was only popular among women.Obviously, Sirius and Stark hit it off, and he was even willing to become a big black dog to maintain an equal relationship with Stark.

Stark also had a good impression of Sirius, and he couldn't wait to invite him to the United States to see his invention, but Sirius actually agreed.They chatted about their backgrounds, pure wizards and pure scientists. Ma Linglong didn't know how they understood each other's topics, but they just chatted endlessly.

Lupine interrupted now and then, and the three men (actually a man and a cat and a dog) laughed out loud now and then.

And Ma Linglong had no idea what they were talking about.

For a moment, the atmosphere that builds up in the house feels like it's back in the days when there was James, especially when Stark tells Sirius that he's been in prison too, because of drugs and drunk driving, two men who turned into animals Even more, he rubbed his head against each other as if he hated seeing each other late.

Although Sirius does not understand what is drunk driving.

"Let's talk about something down to business." Ma Linglong's sense of presence hit a new low in history, "It's about Peter Pettigrew."

Sirius didn't expect Snape to help investigate Ron's mice. They were so incompatible and distrusted each other, which reminded Sirius to be vigilant.Since Snape knew it all, and his hiding place was no stranger to Snape, there was a good chance he would give away what he knew as he had done before.

"Trust me, he won't," Ma Linglong said, "Ron's mouse has completely hidden himself as it stands, but he must be somewhere in the school because Ron feeds him every day. It is almost impossible to find mice at Hogwarts, there are so many secret passages here that even the founders don’t know the specific data.”

"A rat worth his salt," said Sirius sarcastically, "if only there was a Marauder's Map."

The investigation hit a bottleneck.

"I guess there should be some kind of people-finding spell?" Stark said, and he said to Ma Linglong, "otherwise, how did you find me in Afghanistan?"

"The wizard doesn't want to be found, so he can cast an anti-chasing spell on himself." Ma Linglong explained.

Lupine and Sirius also serve as cat language translators.

Stark said again: "Maybe we can use Jarvis." He said, "My mobile phone is in the studio. If it is connected to Jarvis, it can be scanned by thermal induction. DNA samples are best."

It took a few minutes for the four of them to start a new discussion. Since Lupine and Sirius couldn't understand what "thermal induction scanning" and "DNA sample" were, they reluctantly said that Ma Linglong understood the translation.

"It won't work." Ma Linglong said, "Hogwarts has a magnetic field, and ordinary electronic equipment can't be used here."

"It's yours," Stark said.

"A complex protective spell is required, and the mobile phone parts must also be brewed with potions." Ma Linglong said, "It will take a lot of time, I can't leave school to get these things done, and I don't understand what you are talking about. How to do it to achieve results.”

Stark rolled his eyes, he quickly put his tail away, for fear of being grabbed by Ma Linglong again: "It seems that you can't do it without me, sweetheart." Then he immediately said to Sirius, "Please be sure to translate every words, including 'sweetheart'."

Sirius complied.

Soon, Stark thought of another brilliant idea: "Wait, what if the other party is a mouse and I am a cat, a cat that no one knows me?"

"No." Ma Linglong said, "Give up your thoughts."

"That's a good idea," said Sirius. "Peter Pettigrew is always wary of Crookshanks, but he doesn't know Anthony."

"It's too dangerous. Stark will turn into a human the day after tomorrow. I'm not sure when it is, maybe after zero o'clock." Ma Linglong said, "If Stark happened to be in the drain at that time, he would be dead ".

"I only need 24 hours." Stark was excited, his eyes widened. "Find a mouse and catch it. There is no reason why I can't do what all cats can do. I am the only one in the world." The smartest cat, there will never be a smarter cat than me, you have to admit."

"I admit it." Ma Linglong said, "but you are not a cat."

"At least for now," Stark said. "Believe me, I want to help Sirius. I said I could help him two years ago."

Ma Linglong did not forget that when Stark heard Sirius for the first time, he thought it was Black's code name, and he also wanted to hire the best lawyer for him: "Today's party is over here, wait Get back to your human form."

Ma Linglong was about to take Stark away, but he hooked Sirius' ear with his claws: "I want to stay a little longer."

"Oh, Anthony, this hurts." Sirius cried.

"Sorry." Stark let go of his paw, "Baby Linglong, you have to trust me."

"I trust you enough."
