Chapter 41: Rove: Shirley, let's take a shower
Rov carried Shirley on his back and walked slowly towards the seminary, the two of them were dressed in invisibility cloaks, no nun could see them, and they walked very leisurely along the way.
It's just that until they returned to the room, neither of them spoke, and they tacitly kept quiet.
Shirley pondered a tough question...... When she touched her feet, it was clear that there was nothing abnormal, why did Rove's whole body go numb when she held it?
Shirley was puzzled by the fact that she planned to ask her beloved Professor McGonagall about it when she returned to Hogwarts.
She...... You should understand, right?
Rove didn't speak to avoid Shirley's embarrassment, after all, when carrying her, he could clearly feel that in addition to the soft touch on his back, there was also the sound of a girl's heartbeat.
Of course, in addition to this, the boy was also thinking about the question that he had been to the River Clyde before, but it was here at that time......
It's not that name yet!
After entering the room, Shirley still refused to come down, leaning her head on Rove's neck and pretending to be asleep.
Rove didn't say anything, but carried her on his back and paced slowly around the room, until when the church bell rang, Shirley whispered reluctantly:
"Rove, let me down, it's time for dinner."
After Rove put Shirley down, she put on her headscarf again, tidied up her messy robe, and the boy took the polyjuice decoction again, turning back into Margaery.
The two checked each other's decorations, and after there were no problems, they left the room and headed to the cafeteria.
The refectory of the nuns, in a low hut, hangs a huge crucifix at the door.
Upon entering the room, Rove found that it was an elegant room with stone floors and pointed arched windows.
Two long, narrow dining tables, each flanked by benches, stretch parallel from one end of the dining hall to the other.
The walls are white and the dining table is black. These two colors are also the only two colors of the monastery.
When Rove came in, he was separated from Shirley, who was too young to sit at the children's table, while Rove, as a noble guest and devout donor, was of course at the same table with the dean and the grandmothers.
Before the meal, all the nuns stood up to pray before cooking, and there was a chanting table in the kitchen, where a grandmother recited the story of Jesus in a loud voice, accurately and coherently.
Rove waited a long time, so hungry that his chest pressed against his back, and when the prayer was finally over, the nuns brought the meal.
But after seeing the food, Rove was dumbfounded again:
A large plate of rye bread, consommΓ© with only cabbage, a little fat, a plate of lamb, a plate of figs, a large piece of fresh cheese, oatmeal with carrots and turnips.
In addition to that, there are all kinds of potato products.
Rove had thought that the food would be terrible, but he didn't expect it to be so bad, no wonder when she first met Shirley, she was so thin and malnourished.
The teenager even misses the "food" made by Grindelwald a little, and it can only be said that there is no comparison, there is no harm!
Everyone ate silently and no one spoke, and this atmosphere made Rove, an "autistic" patient, feel depressed.
On the contrary, the green-headed flies flew around without hesitation, making buzzing noises, which made people very irritated.
After drinking a bowl of oatmeal, Rove hurried back to his room under the pretext of having an upset stomach, quickly took out a large bag of snacks from the box, and opened a small stove for himself.
When Shirley returned, she saw an open box on the table, piled with all kinds of snacks and snacks.
Rove pushed the box over, and Shirley was not polite, picked up a piece of sorbet, chewed it and swallowed it slowly.
"It tastes good, right? Here's the pastry I bought for you in WizardstraΓe in Germany, but I'm going to eat quite a bit. β
Rove took a sip of water, handed his cup to Shirley again, and continued:
"The food in your convent is too unpalatable, the cooking grandmother should really be dragged to hanging, I bet on a nat, she will definitely not enter heaven in the future!"
Shirley was amused by the young man's indignant appearance, and she covered her mouth and let out a soft, light laugh.
"It's not that bad either...... You eat a few more meals and you get used to it. β
Rove sighed, looked deeply at Shirley, who had eaten here for more than ten years, and said with a serious expression:
"Don't talk about summer vacation in the future, it's best not to come back for any vacation."
Shirlian quietly stared at the serious young man in front of her, tilted her head, and asked:
"Not coming back...... So where am I going? β
"It's hard to say." Rove paused, pointed at himself, and grinned:
"My family has houses all over the world, and I run around on vacation and don't have an exact location."
"In a word, wherever I go, I will go...... I'll raise you, how's that? β
Shirley looked at the boy with blazing eyes, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she smiled softly:
"Good...... That's what you said, I'm going to rely on you for the rest of my life! β
Rove looked at the girl's increasingly beautiful face and smiled, "I mean what I say and never lie." β
Shirley blinked and asked, "Then when are we leaving tonight?" β
"Not leaving tonight." Rove smiled, "This is where you grew up, so let's stay for a few more days, and I'll visit." β
Shirley sighed, and then wondered, "You don't want to go...... So where did you sleep tonight? β
"Just sleep here." Rove pointed to the small bed, and said with a smile in his eyes: Didn't Dean Agatha tell you? β
The dean's mother said yes, but Shirley thought that Rove would leave tonight, so she didn't take it seriously, she saw that the young man didn't look like a joke, and she was even more ignorant and confused:
"You sleep here...... So where do I sleep? β
"You sleep here, too." Rove's smile became more and more intense, and said, "I promised you the dean, don't run around at night, what...... Do you want to run now? β
ββ¦β¦β
Just then, there was a knock at the door, and Rove walked over to open the door, and saw a young nun in a white robe.
Rove recognized it as Shirley's friend...... Theresia.
"Hmm...... Miss Scamander, I'm here to find Shirley. Theresia said politely.
Rove sighed, glanced at the tub and clothes in the girl's arms, and asked, "Are you going to take a bath?" β
"Yes." Teresia looked at this beautiful sister with some affection, and warmly invited, "You can go to the bath with us." β
Rove looked at Theresia with a strange expression, then turned to look at the ponytailed girl, and asked:
"Shirley, we're going to take a shower together...... Is it? β
Shirley, who was still standing in place just now, looked like heaven and man were fighting, hurriedly ran over in a panic, shook her head vigorously, and said:
"Theresia, you go downstairs first, I'll be here in a moment...... She doesn't go to the shower! β
Theresia was a little suspicious, but she also left obediently, Shirley glared at Rove and said:
"You're not allowed to take a shower! Here is that kind of public bath...... All the nuns are together...... You can't go! β
Rove was aggrieved and spread his hands: "But on such a hot day, I also have to take a bath?" β
"You go wash it in a black leather suitcase!" Shirley trotted to the corner, picked up her basin and clothes, and snorted coldly:
"You stay in the house honestly, and you are not allowed to run around...... Wait until I get back! β
"Oh, you're sleeping here tonight?" Rove smiled and said, "Then you should hurry up and wash it...... By the way, don't forget the agreement between the two of us. β
Shirley was a little confused and said, "What agreement?" β
Rove blinked, "Black nun robe." β
The ponytailed girl's face turned red again, and she picked up the tub in a panic and ran out like a fawn.
