58. Parents were invited again
This is the second date between Lestrade and Angelia, but there will be a third time, whether it is out of further contact or apologies, Lestrade will take the initiative to ask Angelia, so they finally left each other's numbers when they separated.
As for agreeing to McCroft's reply, Lestrade really did it.
On the way back to Scotland Yard, he made a rare call to Mycroft, who was still at Lestrade's house, and when he looked at the name on the phone, he tilted his head and smiled at Harry, and then answered and said softly to Lestrade, "Hi, Greg." ”
Knowing that it was his own Dad who called Mycroft, Harry was about to grit his teeth, Mycroft's smile just now was a provocative smile, it must be like this, he didn't want to give up Lestrade, but it seemed to be more inevitable.
"Hello Mycroft."
Probably after staying with Sherlock for a long time, Lestrade also learned his way of speaking in a long voice, this sentence hello Hearing that Mycroft's ears were Lestrade complaining about his disappearance during this time, I saw Mycroft touch his nose and said: "Please forgive me, I have something new busy during this time, although I want to contact you, but unfortunately it is the dead of night when the work is over, and I can't bear to disturb your sleep." ”
It was so sweet that Lestrade smiled brighter than he did when he faced Angelia, and lowered his voice unconsciously, "Really? I think you don't want to see me because of the disgrace you did last time. ”
Well, Mycroft's pain, the thing about the swim trunks was brought up again, or was it brought up by Lestrade.
But he showed that he was not surprised by his life as a MI5 and MI6 boss, and turned the matter over lightly, "If I could, I would like to see you every day." ”
Harry then gritted his teeth, seeing what he meant every day, Mycroft was seducing his Dad.
Harry was wrong about seduction, but that's all he could think of at the time.
"Hahaha, okay, I'll just reluctantly believe you."
Reistrid walked to the office on the phone, Donovan, who wanted to come up to say hello, stopped when she saw the smile on his face, she thought about who should be on the other end of Reestrid's phone, and it made their inspector smile so brightly, and a little spring-like.
Lestrade also saw Donovan, he waved his hand at Donovan, Mycroft on the other end of the phone didn't know what to say, Lestrade pursed his lips and smiled, his face was still slightly red, Donovan also waved his hand in a daze, looking at Lestrade's appearance, he looked like ...... Got in love?
"By the way, you can help me ask Harry if he is taking medicine obediently, it is too difficult for a child to take medicine."
Mycroft heard Lestrade's advice and turned to Harry Potter who was sitting next to him, "Honey, Greg asked if you had taken any medicine obediently. ”
Harry didn't want to take care of him, and if he hadn't hung up the phone, he would have pretended to be temporarily deaf, but Lestrade was obviously still waiting for his answer, so he cleared his throat and said to the other side of the phone, "It's already eaten, please don't worry about Dad." ”
"Did you hear that?"
"Yes." Lestrade was very happy to hear Harry's voice, he looked at the time, and estimated that Harry and Raven should take a nap, their nanny had told him before that little Raven was a frequent napper, which was completely opposite to what Raven knew about Raven, he didn't have to guess to know that Raven was bullying Miss Catherine, and Raven was also a little girl who liked little pranks under the leadership of her brothers.
So just in time for Mycroft to catch up, Lestrade was ready to give him the great and difficult task of sending Raven, Harry, and Sherlock, who couldn't go out, to bed.
"There's just one thing I want to ask you."
"You say, I'll definitely help."
Mycroft didn't want Reestrade to feel like he was incompetent, so he agreed before Reestrade said he needed help, and McCroft regretted it afterwards.
"You help me urge a few of them to go to bed and take a nap, little Raven is really not well-behaved, and with Sherlock's leadership, I think there is no one to suppress except you, Harry is so spoiled by Raven, he will not force Raven to do things that Raven doesn't like."
Speaking of this, Lestrade sighed helplessly, when will their little Harry be able to get rid of the problem of only saying yes to his younger siblings.
"Please, Mycroft!"
To be honest, Mycroft didn't take this as a big problem, after all, children have to sleep when they are tired of playing, even if they are in good spirits, they will take a nap, he readily agreed, and when he hung up the phone, he saw Sherlock's weird smile, he was silent for a while, maybe it wasn't so easy, because they also had a Sherlock.
Why did his dear Greg have to let Sherlock take a nap too?!
"Miss Catherine, Greg said Raven and Harry need a nap."
Eva Catherine looked embarrassed when she heard the word nap, little Raven was too lively a child, napping was actually quite difficult for her, she laughed awkwardly and said, "Okay, Raven, how about we go to sleep?" ”
“No!”
There was no room for anything, and Raven rejected Eva Catherine directly, and she hugged Mycroft's arm tightly and did not let go, in a koala pose.
"My dear, your Dad said that the little princess needs to sleep."
McCroft first released Lestrade, he thought that Raven would definitely obey Greg's arrangement, but the emperor was far away, and little Raven must not care about remote control. So Mycroft, who used this trick, failed, and he looked at Raven helplessly, it seemed that the little girl liked to hold him very much, so he could only change another trick.
"And would Raven want to sleep with me?"
Changing their positions, he offered Raven an invitation to go to bed together, and Raven hesitated to give Mycroft hope, and then he added, "Or we can tell a story, a little story before going to bed." ”
Raven heard the story and began to clap her hands, she said the word happily, and Mycroft raised an eyebrow at Sherlock, who wanted to see the excitement, picked up Raven and walked to the bedroom she commanded, Harry didn't want to follow, so he didn't want to sleep in the same bed with Mycroft.
But when it comes to the fact that Raven lives with Relestrade on weekdays, McCroft would have entered Reistrade's room if she had entered.
So Harry walked over quickly, wasn't it just to take a nap with Mycroft, what was so difficult.
Mycroft sat down at the head of the bed, and he tucked little Raven into the quilt and tucked the corners of the quilt for her, and by the way, Harry lay down next to Raven. Mycroft pulled out the unfinished storybook and held it in his palm, and after reading it, he was sure that the book was all familiar fairy tales, so McCroft, who recorded all the stories in his head, began to tell the stories of the beautiful princess and the handsome prince in the fairy tale.
His voice was full of English, low and good, and Raven, who was not sleepy, slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep with her rag doll in her arms......
Harry yawned and glanced at Mycroft, well, he had to admit that Mycroft was very good at dealing with Raven, at least he had a way to get baby Raven to go to sleep obediently, and the man's voice was actually quite good, and he told the story like Lestrade.
When Harry finally couldn't get enough of falling asleep, Mycroft took a photo of Lestrade, who looked at the photo on his phone and laughed. In the photo, Harry and Raven each occupy one side, sleeping soundly under a thin quilt, accompanied by a message written by Mycroft,
It's not hard for me. ――M
Oh, and thank you, Mr. Mycroph Holmes, almighty. ――GL
Greg, your bedroom is really full of ...... Childlike. ――M
It only takes a glance for him to recognize this as Reestrade's bedroom, and there is a group photo of this small family on the cabinet next to the bed, and Reestrade's uncollected clothes are also hanging aside, but it is just such a bachelor's room but unexpectedly childlike, all kinds of dolls are thrown in all corners of the room, and there is a cute teddy bear lying in the center of the big bed, and all kinds of graffiti in the room, in short, it is full of cuteness.
If you have eight small children, your home will be XD like this. ――GL
Mycroft took every detail of Relestrade's bedroom by heart before going out, and he ajar-closed the bedroom door for Raven and Harry, so that they would not be disturbed by the outside noise, and on the other hand, they would be the first to be known by Miss Catherine when they woke up.
"You seem to be concerned about the girl being around Lestrade."
McCroft came out smiling, and as soon as he looked up after replying to Lestrade's text message, he bumped into Sherlock's inquiring eyes, and he looked at Sherlock with a straight face disapproving of it, "What are you talking about, my little brother?" You should now be napping like a good baby as Greg had arranged. ”
"No, napping doesn't belong to me! And you don't mind, don't you. ”
Sherlock said righteously, Mycroft shook his head helplessly, the task was to be completed, and the two of them were now standing in front of the door of Lestrade's room, in order not to wake up the two sleeping little angels, he dragged Sherlock to the living room and forced the person to fall down on the sofa, forcing him to take a nap.
Catherine nodded at the two of them, and went into the kitchen to prepare for the little afternoon tea that Harry and the others were going to eat, leaving the small space for the two brothers.
"Lestrade is interested in that girl, you know, he's been single for a long time."
Straight to the point, the style of the Sherlock Holmes, or the outward style of Sherlock Holmes, the style that Mycroft hidden.
"It's something to be happy about."
"But you're not happy."
Mycroft looked at Sherlock, who looked up and talked to him, and felt funny, when did he look unhappy, obviously he was really happy for Lestrade from the bottom of his heart, and he could find a girl he liked.
"Sherlock, I'm really happy, and I also looked into that girl, a very good girl, gentle and generous, and a good match for Greg." McCroft paused and continued, "The main thing is that she seems to like our detective too. ”
"But ......"
"Oh, my poor little brother, you have to make me doubt your eyes and your IQ again, you are 'evolving' into a goldfish."
Mycroft interrupted Sherlock's words, causing Sherlock to roll his eyes, he glanced at the time Anthea was already urging him to go downstairs, he still had a lot of work to do, each of which was a big matter that determined national security, so Mycroft reached out and rubbed Sherlock's curly hair, "Sherlock, we should all be happy for Greg, after all, not everyone can stick to it after knowing that he has eight children, and go to bed obediently, unless you also need a bedtime story or a lullaby like you did when you were a child." ”
Sherlock slapped Mycroft's hand away and drove him away, and Mycroft patted him on the head and walked away slowly, while Sherlock looked at his back and spit out a word, "Youlie." ”
Mycroft's footsteps paused for a fraction of a second, and he thought to himself how it could be a lie, and he was really happy for Lestrade's new love.
McCroft never thought about why he chose to text Lestrade when he was dating Angelia if he was really happy in his heart, when it was clear that the photos at that time could be saved and sent later, so whether it was intentional or unintentional, this is the truest manifestation of McCroft's heart.
"Anthea, I'm actually very happy that Greg can find a girlfriend, so that there will be one more person to contain Greg in the future, one more ...... Everyman. ”
Anthea nodded with a smile, but in her heart she scolded her top boss, if you are really happy, please don't exude such an aura that no one can enter, and that happy smile does not seem to be true at all, the relationship between Mycroft and Lestrade may be able to be upgraded back to five stars.
For the busy Lestrade and McCroft, the midday text message was just a small episode, but it was undeniable that the two of them had been texting more and more since noon that day, and Mycroft would greet Lestrade after work, or Lestrade would complain about Sherlock, or his vampire boss.
I'm going to invite Angelia to lunch today, do you have any recommendations? ――GL
When McCroft received the text message, his fingers tapped on the table a beat faster, and he thought for a moment and sent Lestrade an address with a message.
Be sure to choose this one because you'll love the steaks here. ――M
Thanks, it's great to have you. ――GL
Seeing this sentence, Mycroft, who had a straight face, laughed, stunned the little head of the agent who came to make a report, he thought that he would be scolded, who knew that before the lecture began, someone over there was happy with his boss's mood, and the iceman Mycroft Holmes actually showed a real smile.
I'll take this compliment, and I wish you a wonderful lunch. ――M
Lestrade put away his phone, a good lunch, probably good, even in the low emotional intelligence of Lestrade almost understood Angelia's hint about himself, she seemed to want to be his girlfriend, on the premise of marriage. To be honest, Lestrade also likes her quite a lot, both in terms of personality and other aspects, so he is ready to take a step forward in their relationship.
It was just a slight change that Lestrade was just starting to enjoy his steak when his phone rang across from Harry's teacher, Miss Cella.
Miss Sierra just told him that there was something wrong with Harry, and asked him to come to school quickly, and Lestrade immediately stood up, no one was more important than his little angel.
"What's wrong?"
This is the fifth time they have eaten together, and Angelia probably guessed that Lestrade wanted to further develop their relationship, so she specially dressed very beautifully, who knew that there was a change in the middle.
"I'm sorry, Harry, something happened to Harry, I'm going to do my best to go to their school."
Lestrade picked up his clothes and was about to leave, Angelia immediately stood up and said with an anxious look: "Is something wrong?" Hurt or what? I'll go with you. ”
Just as Lestrade was about to say yes, a text message came from his phone from Harold.
Dad, Harry's little talent is unstable and fluctuating, please come quickly. ――HL
So Ben came to his lips and turned around, he smiled and politely rejected Angelia, he didn't want Angelia to know about Harry's little talent, he was going to deal with this matter alone, so he walked over and took the initiative to drop a kiss on Angelia's forehead for the first time, "Sorry, lunch was disturbed by me again, please give me a chance to date you next time." ”
This is a refusal, although Angelia is sad, she can only nod, "Okay, if you need help, please tell me, I will do my best." ”
Lestrade nodded, but only nodded, what could Angelia do to help with Harry's little talent.
Lestrade went out to take a taxi, he drank some red wine today so he didn't drive his own car, who knew that before he could wave a black car stopped in front of him, and it was an unfamiliar man in a suit who came down, and the man said respectfully to Lestrade: "Inspector Lestrade, please get in the car, we will send you to the school." ”
Soon after Harry's magic broke out, Mycroft received the news, the previous news was still vague, just said that there was a little wizard who suddenly became unstable during his lunch break, who knew that he saw Harry's name when he verified it further, and McCroft was surprised at that time, he originally thought that there were only two little wizards in the Lestrade family, but he didn't expect that one was not discovered.
Then he thought about the swim trunks incident before, and Harry's smile at that time, it seemed that not only was the Lestrade family hiding a little wizard, but this little wizard was also able to control his own abilities.
While he sent someone to solve the matter, he informed the team protecting Lestrade to send them to the school.
The wizarding world and the British government have a confidentiality agreement, and the safety of young wizards of mankind and those around them are protected by the government until they enter the official magic school at the age of eleven. However, due to the mysteries of the wizarding world and their secrecy from the government, there is still a lot of information that Mycroft has not been able to grasp, such as the legendary savior.
Mycroft sent out a special team of agents dealing with the connection between the wizarding world and the ordinary world, and he was sure that they would give Harry's school a good explanation, no matter what earth-shattering things Harry's magical outburst did.
"Looks like it's time to meet dear Greg."
Mycroft muttered to himself.
What the hell happened to Harry?
Time is about to rewind to the lunch break, the Harry brothers are still very famous in the school, not only because of their excellent grades, but the most important thing is that the children who obviously don't look alike are brothers, and some people once said behind their backs that they were all orphans in the orphanage, who called their parents never appeared. Later, after the mass fight, the rumors of Lestrade's appearance became less, but another rumor appeared, and many children mocked them behind their backs for not having a mother and not being a normal family.
The word "parents" was the last thing Harry could not tolerate when others talked nonsense, first of all, he loved his parents, even though they were deceased, Harry still loved them, and secondly, he loved Lestrade, his adoptive father. They had eight brothers, and each of them was not a favorite in an ordinary family, but Lestrade tolerated them, and even divorced his wife for some reason.
He was grateful to Lestrade and loved the man, and Lestrade's love was a piece of Harry's heart, so when he overheard someone laughing at them behind their backs for not having a mother, Harry ...... Erupted.
Harry's magic is powerful, but unstable, more so than Loki and Merlin.
According to eyewitness accounts, before the glass exploded, Harry suddenly shouted at the two young boys to shut up, and then the glass on the window suddenly exploded, but fortunately not many people came back for a nap at the time, and there were no injuries.
Miss Sierra was also embarrassed, it did sound like it had something to do with Harry, but not to mention ordinary children, even if you look at the whole world, there are very few people who can shatter the glass of a classroom with a roar, except for the martial arts of the ancient Eastern countries.
Harry also refused to admit that he had anything to do with it, and he refused to apologize to the boy he yelled at, because he thought that they were the ones who chewed their tongues behind his back first, and that he was not at fault.
For Harry and little Lestrade, they are all supportive, so Miss Sierra chooses to inform Lestrade about the explosion of the complex window and the refusal to apologize.
In other words, the little Lestrades were once again invited to their parents.
