59. Scheming Mycroft
Harry Potter, who happens to be nine years old this year, is an orphan, but on the night he was abandoned, he was picked up by Greg Lestrade, who came home late, and became Lestrade's adopted son and eldest son. At a very young age, Harry showed his talent for magic, and it stands to reason that people would be afraid to think of him as an anomaly, but this was not the case, and he encouraged Harry by saying that it was a gift from God.
So Harry didn't think he was any different from a normal child, and he was even proud of his little talent.
His Dad Lestrade is a completely good person, Harry roughly calculated, he was picked up on November 1, 1998, of course, about this Lestrade never hid Harry, and in the next six years, Lestrade brought back an average of 1.33 children a year, that is, his younger brothers and sisters.
So Harry found out that it wasn't just him who had this little talent, he wasn't alone, Loki and Merlin would use it.
But what Harry didn't know was about his identity in the wizarding world, Harry Potter was the boy known as the savior in the wizarding world, the boy who never died, and it was he who defeated Voldemort, who dominated the wizarding world at that time and even disturbed the normal human world, that Youknowwho. However, due to Harry's protection, few people in the wizarding world know exactly where he was sent, but according to Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter lived a good life in the Muggle world.
Regarding the wizarding world and the British government, a confidentiality agreement was signed a long time ago, which can be regarded as an agreement to help each other, all wizards are born with magical powers, they belong to the wizarding world from the moment of birth, and they are also registered. If it is a traditional wizarding family, they generally rarely set foot in the world of ordinary people, which is what they call the Muggle world, but there is also a group of Muggles among wizards who have no inheritance and are born with magical powers, and they are the main reason why the wizarding world and the government sign an agreement.
But those people in the wizarding world are also old foxes, they hide a lot of information, and they don't fully reveal it, and the biggest thing they have hidden in recent years is about the savior Harry Potter, on the one hand, to protect Harry from being disturbed or hurt by the residual Death Eaters, on the other hand, it is also a hole card kept by the wizarding world, and they are very worried that the Muggle government will use Harry's existence to further explore the wizarding world, and even threaten them.
After all, Harry Potter is a legendary and important figure, and he must return to the wizarding world.
As a traditional little wizard, even if Harry's magic power is more mellow, but the instability is still there, this time because of anger he showed a powerful burst of magic for the first time, and also attracted the attention of Mycroft, who called the little power in his hand just related here.
Harry didn't know who he was now, he didn't admit that the sudden glass shattering incident had anything to do with him, even if he was proud that he could have a different little talent, he still knew that sometimes small talents could not be displayed casually, and after admitting it, it was not only him, but his brothers would be pointed at behind their backs, calling them freaks.
As the eldest brother, Harry wouldn't let anyone talk about his family behind his back, no one.
What is Big Brother?
As a brother in Harry's heart, he should have done all the bad things, and he could face everyone with a smile, but he wouldn't really believe that anyone other than his family, and anyone who hurt his family, had to pay the price.
He heard what the two boys said just now, and it was not a good boy to talk about other people's fathers and family behind their backs.
He erupted and told them to shut up, and both boys cried as the glass exploded.
Lestrade soon arrived, Miss Saila got up to greet him, he simply said hello and his eyes were glued to his little angels, although the little angels usually don't like to stick together, but as long as something happens to a person, they will get the news as soon as possible, and now his seven treasures are standing in the office, looking at him in unison.
There were two children in the office who didn't know him, and when Harry saw him, his eyes immediately turned red, and Lestrade saw that Harry's eyes were red and he cared about Miss Sierra next to him, and he quickly stepped forward and hugged Harry.
You must know that Harry, as the eldest son, has always played a leading role, and he rarely cries, so when he sees him about to cry, Lestrade's heart is tight.
"Harry dear, I'm here, I'm fine."
Harry wrapped his arms around Lestrade's neck as he buried his head in Lestrade's shoulder.
Harry suddenly remembered what the two boys had said before, they said that his father was a pervert and a loser who was incapable of not having a wife, and that in the eyes of the little ones, both parents were the most perfect, and that Lestrade was so different, and there was more or less jealousy in these words, jealous of the popularity of Lestrade in this school.
โDadโฆโฆโ
Harry couldn't hold back his tears, no one could laugh at Lestrade, but he didn't expect his sudden outburst.
"Shhhhhh
Harry just cried silently, crying Lestrade's heart tugged, he could only coax Harry to pat him on the back so that Harry wouldn't have trouble breathing because of crying, just when Harry was holding Lestrade and crying silently, Loki came up and tugged at the corner of Lestrade's clothes, Lestrade turned his head to look at little Loki, and saw him make a gesture that came over his ear.
Loki whispered something in Lestrade's ear, and Lestrade frowned and looked at Miss Saila who was standing aside, Miss Saila was obviously stunned, she opened her mouth and walked up and asked gently, "Harry, what can you tell me?" โ
"I'm sorry Miss Sailar, but I support Harry for refusing to apologize for this."
Miss Sierra didn't really understand the cause and effect, because Harry didn't say that Little Lestrade didn't say anything, but the other witnesses and the two "victims", of course, not all of them were true, the two little boys just said that they were talking, and then Harry suddenly walked in and yelled at them.
Well, that's what the witnesses said, Harry walked in and stood in front of the two boys for a moment, then suddenly roared, and then the glass shattered.
"But Harry, he ......"
"In the absence of sufficient evidence, Miss Saila, you have subconsciously believed that this matter is Harry's fault, and you have made a decision based on your own subjective thoughts without asking about the real cause and effect, or โกโก, and I can only say that I am disappointed in you, Miss Saila. I was even worried about whether I would be able to put my children in this school. โ
After understanding the general situation, Lestrade knew why Harry had exploded, and according to Harry's extremely protective character, it was only when he didn't break out. Speaking of which, this is the second time this year that something similar has happened, the last one was Loki being bullied, and this time it was the discussion behind the back of classmates, no matter which one is changed to a child, it will leave a big shadow on their hearts.
The most important thing is the teacher's judgment, and when Miss Saila makes a judgment without really understanding the cause and effect, this matter will affect the child's growth.
"Mr. Lestrade, I asked Harry but he didn't say."
"That's because Harry believes you're a good teacher, but he's wrong."
Loki's crisp voice rang out, he raised his head arrogantly, they all knew about Harry, although Harry was also at fault in this matter, but it was reasonable, and even Loki thought that if he was also there, he would not let go of the two "little ghosts" who said bad things behind his back. And Miss Saila, who was Miss Saila's student when Harry came to the school, and he thought Miss Saila would ask the truth behind the matter, who knows......
"Iโ"
Loki's words left Miss Sierra speechless, and it was a pleasure to be trusted by the students, but it was clear that her immaturity in handling things had caused her to lose that trust.
"Harry is also at fault in this matter, but Miss Saila, if the detectives at Scotland Yard listen to one-sided words like you, I think there will be a lot of miscarriages of justice in this London."
Lestrade paused and continued, "Harry yells at them to shut up because they're talking about me behind my back, yes, they're talking about Harry's father, saying he's a wifeless ...... Perverts and losers. โ
Lestrade shrugged his shoulders here, there was a sense of self-deprecation, he looked at the two snobbing imps next to him and sighed, children's education and family are related, children like to learn from adults, probably his father who is too busy to even hold a parent-teacher meeting is a pervert or a failure in the eyes of others.
Miss Sierra was obviously shocked as well, and if this was something that an adult did, it could be regarded as slander and malicious slander. Her eyes glanced between Harry and the two boys, who looked scared, they had lied because of Harry's silence, who knew that his father had not been hiding anything since he came.
"I'm sorry, please forgive me, Harry."
Miss Sierra apologized immediately, she was still blaming and persuading Harry, who knew that the biggest victim was actually the little boy who was held in the arms of a handsome man, if he really looked for the cause and effect, Harry had a great advantage in this matter, after all, he just yelled at people and didn't do it.
Harry sniffed and hugged Lestrade tighter, refusing to answer any questions now.
"Miss Saila, Harry is a strong kid and that's nothing for him, but I hope you don't make this mistake again."
Lestrade didn't really mean to pursue it, and he didn't say that he was going to transfer schools, after all, transferring schools would allow them to adjust to a new place, which could take a long time. The accusation of Miss Saila before was just because of a momentary anger, and he would not pursue the children, but there is a first and second time, but there can be no next time, if this kind of thing happens, no matter how difficult it is, he will take his child away.
This incident also made Lestrade start to really think about his wife and the new Mum of the little angels, or his family was too special for others to talk about behind his back.
He thought of the girl with a big smile, maybe she wasn't Lestrade's favorite, but she definitely looked like a proper mother.
"Miss Saila, is there anything else going on?"
Of course, Lestrade wouldn't ask directly about the glass explosion, he knocked on the side Miss Cella, she reached out and touched Harry's hair and said, "When Harry told them to shut up, all the glass shattered, and I don't know what the reason is, so ......"
Miss Cella's lack of knowledge doesn't mean that Lestrade doesn't know that it was Harry's little talent that exploded, and it was the first time in nine years that it had exploded so powerfully.
But Lestrade won't admit that this matter has anything to do with Harry, not because of money, but because he doesn't want everyone to know Harry's different side, in other words, this society is in the free and open British Empire, people still reject some unique people, especially among children, after this matter is said, Harry may face everyone's exclusion, not acceptance.
"And this kind of thing? I don't think it had anything to do with Harry. โ
He denied it.
Just when Miss Sierra was embarrassed, someone knocked on the office door, it was another teacher who walked in and whispered something to Miss Sierra and left, and Miss Saila changed her tone at this time, it is said that someone just came to check the glass, it is said that she suddenly exploded when she received some oppression, and it has nothing to do with what roar or anything.
In short, the explanation is very far-fetched, but even if it is far-fetched from the experts, it is accepted by everyone.
Lestrade was worried about going back, originally he wanted to take Harry home to rest, who knew that his little angel Harry refused, he said that crying was just because he was too sad at the time, he didn't have anything to do now, so he wanted to continue the lesson. Lestrade couldn't refuse Harry's request, so he praised the bears and left after getting Miss Syra's assurance.
The content of the praise is simple, for their unity.
Miss Sierra slumped in her chair after Lestrade left, glad that she was in a separate office and would not be disturbed by others, otherwise she would have been disgraced in front of everyone to-day.
Dangdangdang -
There was a knock on the door, and Miss Sierra looked up and saw a man in a black suit and a dark red tie and a black umbrella in his hand appear in front of her door, followed by a woman who said to Miss Sierra with a smile on his face, "Hello Miss Saila, may I come in?" โ
If Lestrade didn't have a plan to get married before, then after Harry's incident, he thought that maybe he really needed a marriage, although he was usually a father and a mother, but in the eyes of some idle and boring outsiders, their family was still special, so he really needed to date someone who could marry.
Lestrade and Angelia's sixth date was in the afternoon on the Saturday of Harry's magic outbreak.
Lestrade is ready to further develop with Angelia, they are a little interesting to each other, and Angelia is a good girl, she likes children, gentle, generous and cheerful, to be honest, there are indeed quite a lot of shining points on her body, even if it is the new Mum of the bear child, there is no problem.
They made an appointment to meet at Regent's Park, and it was already summer, and it was the most beautiful time in the park.
Reistrode is dressed very handsome today, so that everyone who sees him is bright, to be honest, if you look at Reestrade alone, who can imagine that this man is actually a divorced, he is too handsome and perfect. He sat in his chair and waited for Angelia to arrive, Lestrade was a little nervous now, as a single dog who had been on a losing time like this on a date could almost be traced back to his ex-wife.
At this time, his eyes were covered from behind, and a girl's familiar voice came to his ears, "Guess who I am?" โ
"Angelia."
He was able to call the girl's name without thinking, Angelia giggled and put her arms around his neck from behind, and dropped a kiss on Lestrade's face by the way, "Greg, you're so smart." โ
"You're so easy to recognize."
In fact, when Angelia's kiss fell, Lestrade was so imperceptibly stiff, he was still not used to such intimacy.
"Have you waited a long time?"
They were more intimate than before, and Angelia sat down next to Lestrade and tilted her head.
Lestrade shook his head and touched her head, "No, besides, it is a gentleman's pleasure to wait for a beautiful lady." โ
Lestrade is not really emotionally intelligent, he is just sluggish after too many blows, he is a romantic and passionate Frenchman, love words are nothing to him.
"Hahaha, Greg you're so cute, I can't believe you're a man in his thirties."
He shrugged his shoulders, pointed to his face, and said, "Look at the old face here." โ
Angelia suddenly stepped forward and gave him another kiss on the face, "You're not old, you're the most handsome person I've ever seen, even if you're old, you're the most handsome uncle." โ
Lestrade also laughed with Angelia, and the two of them acquiesced in the matter of dating, and sat together with their fingers interlocked.
Lestrade and Angelia talk about the recent interesting things in Scotland Yard, as a person who has admired the police since she was a child, everything in Scotland Yard is very interesting to her, and the cases and the prisoners have fascinated Angelia.
"All I can say is that Mycroft was of some use in getting Sherlock into my hands, Sherlock is really smart."
There was a name that Angelia had always cared about - McCroft, she had heard Lestrade talk about this man more than once, and Lestrade would smile beautifully every time she mentioned this person's name, so she couldn't be blamed for caring.
"Greg, may I ask a question?"
"What?"
"McCroft...... Who is it? โ
Lestrade snorted out laughing, "The dead fat man in Sherlock's mouth, the last time you saw it, was the swimming pool." He is a smart man, the smartest I have ever met, and the more mysterious is a traditional veteran gentleman, who likes to bring an umbrella with him all the year round, to be honest I sometimes wonder if he is in the umbrella business, and brings an umbrella out to promote his products. Of course, I'm going to prove that Mycroft wasn't fat at all, and that Sherlock was a bear kid who liked to talk nonsense. โ
I don't know if it's Angelia's delusion, it seems that Lestrade's smile has become a little bigger after mentioning this McCroft, and he has more words than before.
"So you're actually good friends with Mycroft?"
"Sort of, who knows how to position me in his heart."
In fact, what Reestrade meant by this was that who knew whether Mycroft was using him or if he really regarded him as a friend.
But Angelia didn't think so, she smiled, but there was a little more worry in her heart, she probably remembered who Mycroft was, and the man who massaged Lestrade in the water seemed to be called "My......".
Does Mycroft know about Lestrade's date?
The answer is yes, he has been monitoring Lestrade, especially after the last time Mr. Tomlinson's protection of Lestrade has increased a step, after he knew that Lestrade and Angelia were dating, his expression did not change, but asked Antia to find a copy of the information related to the wizarding world and magic, and he really needed to talk to Lestrade about the little wizard, and Lestrade, as the head of the little wizard, also had the right to know this qiฤ.
So he dialed Lestrade's phone, on his date.
When McCroft's call came, Lestrade and Angelia were already very close to each other, they were about to kiss, who knew that his lips had not yet been attached to the phone ring, Lestrade was worried that it was the phone from Scotland Yard and took out his mobile phone, Angelia was a little entangled but still showed an expression of understanding.
Lestrade looked at the notes on the phone, the bright Mycroft Holmes, he thought for two seconds and then chose to connect, who called Mycroft a person who can't call when he has nothing to do, since the call came so suddenly, there must be something.
"I hope it didn't bother you, dear Greg."
McCroft pretended I didn't know anything, and asked if he had disturbed Lestrade, and the expression on the other end of the line was terrible.
"Looks like you've got something."
Nothing to do is go to the Three Treasures Palace, the Sherlock Holmes brothers are like this, he is used to it.
"Do you have time now? I'd like to talk to you about Harry, Loki, and Merlin, about magic. โ
Originally, when McCroft asked if he had time, Lestrade was going to answer no, but when he mentioned their bear children, especially the bear children who were gifted, Lestrade swallowed the refusal and changed it to a question, "Does it have to be now?" โ
"I don't want to disturb your weekend, but I'm leaving for another place in the evening on business, and I only have a little time."
McCroft's tone was full of apologies, saying that I was going on a business trip and that it was important to Lestrade, and that he was not deliberately sabotaging Lestrade's date.
"Okay, I'll see you later."
"Wait a minute, Greg."
Once again, their date was interrupted, and who told Lestrade that he had always put the bear child first and love second.
Angelia got on the subway and looked at Lestrade who was getting farther and farther away and pursed her lips sadly, it was Mycroft again, the friend in Lestrade's mouth, why did she feel that Mycroft was more important than her, obviously she was Lestrade's girlfriend.
What Angelia didn't know was that the important thing was not Mycroft, but the bear child, and the object of jealousy was mistaken!
