Chapter 51: Rove: Shirley, sell yourself to me
The Sisters of Tomes have been messing around for two days.
The nuns all urgently stopped what they were doing and searched for the missing Shirley and Miss Scamander in the convent of the University.
Shirley was fine, she had left a note for the past two summers and quietly left the convent, everyone was used to it, but the Miss Scamander ......
People came all the way from the big city of Glasgow to donate £3,000 to charity.
Therefore, the nuns launched a carpet search, at least to see people alive and dead to see corpses.
Standing in the dean's living room, Mama Talia reported the results of today's search, and finally said:
"Dean, no trace of the church, kitchen, or cemetery has been found, and I suggest sending someone to search the bottom of the Creed River."
Seeing that Dean Agatha was silent, Talia turned her head and glared at Theresia on the side, and said sternly:
"You and Shirley have been inseparable all day, did she say anything to you before she left?!"
"No, Lady Talia." Theresia showed an innocent expression, shook her head, and said:
"Shirley didn't say anything, she sleeps in a separate room, and you lock the door at night...... Could she have turned into a butterfly and flown away? ”
“……”
Talia reprimanded, "Why don't you say she was taken away by God?" ”
"I can't say for sure." Teresia muttered, "Otherwise, she dug a tunnel and walked away, she borrowed a small sharp-beaked hammer from me earlier." ”
"Alright." Dean Agatha interrupted the quarrel between the two and said calmly:
"Shirley should have returned to her school like the first two times."
"But what about Miss Scamander, how could she be missing?" "They were in the same room that night, could Miss Scamander have been caught by Shirley for seeing something she shouldn't have seen?" ”
"No, Talia." Dean Agatha shook her head and said:
"They both probably know each other, they both come from that school, otherwise why would Miss Scamander live with Shirley in so many rooms?"
Mama Talia froze.
No, she doesn't believe it...... The beautiful and pious Miss Scamander, like Shirley, will come from the School of Weirdos!
Talia was about to retort when footsteps came from the door, and Labetti hurried in, panting and shouting:
"Dean Agatha, Shirley is back, she's at the door now...... She ......"
Hearing that Shirley was back, several people in the house were surprised, and Tricia even secretly scolded her friend for being a big fool, since they all ran away, why did they come back?!
Dean Agatha wasn't too excited, she noticed that Labetti's expression was abnormal, and asked calmly, "What's wrong with Shirley?" ”
"Shirley didn't come back alone, Dean." Labetti said with a strange look in her eyes.
"It's not just one person." Talia exclaimed excitedly, "Did she bring Miss Scamander back?" ”
"No...... No. Labetti brewed her emotions for a moment, and when everyone's appetite was lifted, she announced in a loud voice:
"Shirley is back with a man!"
“……”
The whole room fell silent, and everyone was shocked.
Mama Talia, in particular, had an indescribable expression on her face, as bad as hearing that the Pope liked little boys.
And Teresia's surprise turned into surprise, and she laughed the most...... It's definitely Shirley's Rove coming!
Laberti was pleased with the look on everyone's faces, and she paused for a few seconds, then added in a whisper:
"Very handsome man!"
"Thank you for the reminder, Labetti." Dean Agatha asked, "Where are they now?" ”
"It's still at the gate." Mama Labetti whispered, "I didn't open the door, so I hurried over to inform you." ”
Agatha nodded, got up and walked towards the door, followed by Mama Talia.
……
……
With a creak, the iron door opened, and Rove walked into the reception room, where a tree guard robe jumped on his shoulder and let out an intimate cooing.
Rove touched Groot's head, and instead of heading towards the courtyard, he sat in the dark reception room, quietly waiting for Dean Agatha.
Shirley also walked in, and she whispered, "Are you sure you don't need to use the Polyjuice Potion to become your sister Margaery?" ”
"No need." Rove shook his head and said, "I'm here to pick you up today, and I don't sleep here at night, so why do you use a fake identity." ”
"I'm afraid you'll be beaten out by the grandmothers in a while." Shirley said.
"As long as you don't tell them that Miss Scamander, who lives in the convent, is me that day, she won't be beaten." Rove laughed.
While the two were talking, messy footsteps sounded, and soon three elderly grandmothers came.
They were stunned when they saw a teenager sitting on a chair and Shirley standing obediently beside her.
Labetti took a breath and stammered, "Dean, I didn't open the door, I don't know how they got in." ”
"It's fine." Agatha's face did not change color.
As the dean, she has to deal with the outside world, and she has seen many men, but the person in front of her is just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, and there is nothing to taboo.
It was Mama Talia, who saw Rove for the first time, and her face changed when she saw it, and she instinctively wanted to leave the room, but when she saw Shirley again, she immediately walked towards her, grabbed her arm tightly, and asked:
"What about Miss Scamander? Where did you get it......"
Rov snapped his fingers lightly, and Talia screamed in pain as if she had been burned, and quickly withdrew her arm.
】
"Good day, everyone, my name is Rove Scamander...... is Shirley's classmate and her boss. So don't do anything to my assistant, or I'll be very angry. ”
"I'm going to take her out of here today, and before I go, I feel like I'm going to tell you anyway...... Dean Agatha. ”
Rove looked at the wrinkled old nun, took another bag from the box, and put it on the table, he smiled:
"I know that the Sisters of Sisters have some financial problems, here is seven thousand pounds, which is my donation, I hope you can get through this time, and thank you for taking care of Shirley all these years."
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief at the pounds on the table.
Rove paused and continued:
"By the way, the girl who came the day before yesterday was me...... Sister, she had left beforehand, and she asked me to convey my apologies without saying goodbye. ”
For a while, there was silence in the room, and everyone was stunned by the young man's aura and words.
After a while, Dean Agatha asked softly, "Shirley, are you going to leave with him?" ”
The ponytailed girl nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, Dean Mama." ”
"Well, I see." Dean Agatha looked at Rove again, and asked, "Mr. Scamander, I hope you can take good care of Shirley, so let's go." ”
"I will...... Dean Agatha, you are not only wise, but also measured. Rove smiled: "Then we will say goodbye first." ”
He took Shirley's hand and walked out the door.
Walking down the road, Shirley whispered, "Where are we going next?" ”
"Let's go to Dorset first, and then go back to Scamander's old house." "The Quidditch World Cup is about to start, and my grandparents should have come back from the United States," Rove said. ”
Shirley suddenly felt a little uneasy, he had seen Newt, but he had never seen Tina.
Rove understood the girl's mood and smiled at her: "Don't be afraid, my grandmother is very good, but ......"
He hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "My sister Margaery may also come, she is a little eccentric, her brain is not good, you stay away from her, don't be led astray by her." ”
Shirley had heard of Margaery and had long wanted to meet her, so she cheered herself up and said, "I'll get Margaery." ”
Rove sighed and said, "I hope so." ”
The two of them took a few more steps forward, and Shirley suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at the monastery from a distance, a little dazed.
Rove stood quietly aside, accompanying the ponytail girl in a daze.
"Why are you reluctant to leave?"
"There are some." Shirley looked into the distance and said honestly: "I always wanted to leave here before, and I didn't want to come back on vacation, but now I am a little reluctant." ”
"This is where you grew up, after all." Rove held Shirley's hand tightly and said with a smile: "If you want to come back in the future, I will accompany you back." ”
Shirley nodded vigorously and said softly, "You donated 10,000 pounds before and after...... It's five thousand Galleons, and I'll pay you back!" ”
Rove is not short of money now, especially since he has a large number of fairy silverware from a thousand years ago, and he can sell an antique at will, and the base is tens of thousands of Galleons, and a mere five thousand Galleons is just a small amount of money.
But he nodded anyway:
"Of course you have to pay me back, I've calculated, with your current salary, you only need to be an assistant for me for free for twenty years, and you can almost pay it back."
Shirley didn't speak.
"How...... Too long? ”
The ponytail girl shook her head, she looked up at Rove, her face full of tears, but she smiled happily:
"I'm too short, it's only been 20 years...... Are you undercounting interest or something?
I think I'll have to be your assistant for at least thirty or forty years before I can pay off what I owe you. ”
Rove turned to the side and stretched out his hand to help her gently wipe her tears, but he couldn't wipe them clean, so he kept wiping them and quipped:
"Then you might as well sell yourself to me."
The ponytailed girl threw herself into the boy's arms at once, hugged him tightly, pressed against his chest, and murmured:
"Rove, I'm already yours."
