Chapter 60: Shirley: Brother, let's exchange secrets!
Shirley, who was carrying a lunch box, walked slowly into the room, and when she stepped through the wooden door, she paused slightly, stopped and looked back at the two little girls who had run away recklessly.
The ponytail girl quickly withdrew her gaze, she walked into the room, put the lunch box on the table, and smiled:
"Why did they both leave?"
"I've been sent to investigate that magical creature, otherwise I'll be idle and get something all day long."
Rove waved his wand, a chair flew over, and Shirley sat down, opened the lunch box, and took out all the lunch and put it on the table.
Shirley had already eaten, and she propped her chin on her arms and watched Rove eat lunch with those bright eyes.
"Will it be dangerous?"
"No, just ask them to survey students who claim to have seen that magical animal." Rove picked up the bread and whispered:
"The school has also stepped up patrols now, and as long as it's not a night tour, there shouldn't be any accidents during the day."
Shirley also brought a large cup of black tea, she poured the tea into a small cup, and after Rove took it, he twisted the rim of the cup with his fingers, smelled the refreshing aroma, and squinted:
"How's the magical creature in the box doing?"
"On your progress, I've checked the bamboo forest habitat of the tree guard and the stone cave of the swallowtail dog." Shirley took out a piece of parchment and said:
"The number of animals is not different from what was previously recorded."
Rove bowed his head slightly, he and Shirley have been checking the magical animals in the box for the past few days, and they can be regarded as proving their innocence, proving that the magical animal really has nothing to do with him.
However, upon inspection, it was found that this was indeed a large amount of work.
"By the way, I found two more nests that Sniffer had secretly dug underneath the swallowtail's stone cave."
Shirley smiled and said with some smugness: "I found a dozen Galleons." ”
Rove said helplessly: "It must have stolen me." ”
"Who made you always like to mess with your money." Shirley gave the boy a blank look, without the slightest sense of thrift.
"Don't slander me, I have a cleanliness habit and obsessive-compulsive disorder, how can I mess with Garon." Rove smiled:
"If you have the ability to look for it again, if you can find the Galleon again, it will be your overtime pay."
"That's what you said!" Shirley tilted her head, the corners of her mouth curled, "I cleaned the cabin in the morning, and I found a lot of Galleons under the bed." ”
“……”
In fact, a comprehensive inspection of the box, in addition to checking the number of animals, also has a similar smell of copying and inspecting the Grand View Garden.
Many magical creatures, with no reproductive isolation, breed across races.
Like the Cryptolite, it's a cross between an invisible beast and a ghoul. There is also Hagrid, who uses the human-headed sphinx and fire crab to breed dangerous fried tail snails.
This kind of cross-species reproduction, like inbreeding, can easily develop polygenic genetic diseases in its offspring.
Therefore, such a deformed behavior, of course, must be prevented and stopped in advance.
The two discussed the matter of the box for a while, and Rove suddenly remembered something, and said softly:
"By the way, Shirley, I shouldn't be able to attend the Halloween dinner."
"You're going to the Forbidden Forest during the feast?" Shirley asked.
"It's not the Forbidden Forest, it's still at Hogwarts." Rove explained softly, "That night was the 500th anniversary of Nick, the headless Sir of Gryffindor, and he was going to have a death dinner...... I'm going to participate. ”
Shirley leaned slightly, her elbows resting on the edge of the table, and she was a little curious: "Why did you suddenly remember to go to the death dinner?" Did Nick invite you to go? ”
"No, there's a ghost at the funeral, and I'll ask that ghost about something." Rove said.
The girl said softly, "Do you need me to accompany you?" ”
"No, the dinner of the living is much more interesting than the dinner of the dead, and it is enough for me to suffer alone." Rove shook his head with a smile and said, "If it wasn't for asking something, I definitely wouldn't go." ”
Shirley stared at the young man's blue eyes, probably with natural sharp intuition, and she suddenly smiled:
"Is there someone who is already with you?"
"I'm accompanied by a ghost, the same news she told me." Rove didn't hide it: "Lady Gray from your academy. ”
"Ms. Gray?" Shirley's reaction was almost the same as Luna's, a little surprised.
No way...... There is such a beautiful but indifferent female ghost wandering in the tower, and any Ravenclaw will be impressed by her.
"Do you two know each other well?" Shirley wondered.
"It's not cooked." Rove shook his head and said, "I went to Albania last Christmas, and I met her on the Orient Express, and I've only known her for a year. ”
"I've been in Ravenclaw for a year, and I haven't seen Ms. Gray say a few words to others, let alone take the initiative to help others!" Shirley pursed her lips and said:
"I see that your relationship with her is not simple."
"Don't talk nonsense."
"No nonsense, my instincts have always been accurate." The girl stared into the boy's eyes.
"I won't tell you." Rove blinked and smiled, "Secret! ”
The ponytail girl bit her thin lip, then smiled:
"I also have a secret, Professor McGonagall won't let me tell anyone else, otherwise how about we exchange?"
Rove raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl, and said in surprise: "I didn't find it, you are hiding quite deeply?" ”
"Each other, each other!" Shirley smiled, she pressed one cheek against the slightly cool tabletop, and said softly:
"Won't you change it?"
Rove laughed dumbly and said, "But I have a lot of secrets, and you can't exchange one secret." ”
Shirley's little head thought about it very seriously, and said, "Then you can exchange it for other things!" ”
"Even you are working for me." Rove looked the girl up and down, and couldn't help but smile: "What else can you exchange it for?" ”
Shirley put her finger to her lips and smiled at the corners of her mouth:
"I'll sing you a song...... Well, I can only sing. ”
"Then I'm losing too much." Rove looked at the ponytail hanging from the back of the ponytail girl, and he suddenly said:
"Shirley, why don't you untie your ponytail and show me, I haven't seen you with your hair loose."
The girl pursed her lips and smiled, she reached out to hold the slender ponytail, her white fingers touched the hair rope, and said softly, "Do you really want to see it?" ”
Rove was stunned, he suddenly glanced out the window and said, "No, don't look at it, don't look at it now!" ”
"Why?" Shirley was a little surprised.
"There are students outside the corridor, and I exchanged the secret for the scenery for them to see, so thank you!" Rove shook his head slightly.
Shirley blinked her beautiful eyes slightly, and the girl reached out and gently rubbed her hot cheek and said, "You want to see it, I won't show it to you yet!" ”
"Don't, I'll exchange the secret!"
The girl didn't say anything, just closed her eyes, her eyelashes curled up, and her hands gently protected her ponytail.
