Chapter 5: Captain Carlos for His Kindness

Surrounded by a group of reporters, Rove and Shirley trekked their way through a "bloody road" and finally boarded the May issue.

The reporters were holding cameras of all sizes and wanted to follow them again, but were stopped by the staff outside the boat.

It was an exclusive passage for first-class passengers, no one else was allowed to enter or leave, and reporters could only watch Scamander disappear into the Mayflower on the shore.

Of course, they want to follow suit.

But first class is too expensive!

Not to mention the ultra-long transatlantic route between Britain and the United States, just crossing the tiny English Channel to France can cost more than the monthly salary of many journalists.

Of course, if Scamander could be interviewed, it would be worth the money to buy first class.

As the most trafficked wizard in recent years, Rove has a large following, and whenever it comes to his news, it can significantly increase newspaper sales.

In addition, the recent resurrection of the mysterious man has been rumored, as long as you can interview Rove and talk about it, it will be even more wealthy!

However, the first class cabins are independent of each other, and each room even has its own access point.

In other words, after a trip, even if you live next door, you may not see Scamander from beginning to end, so isn't the money equivalent to a waste?

Of course, there are many reporters who buy cheap ordinary cabins, hoping to "bump into" Scamander on the ship, focusing on savings.

But after buying this kind of ticket, they can only go to the one-kilometer long queue next door.

And getting rid of the all-pervasive group of reporters Rove and Shirley, quickly walked through the passage and entered a VIP room.

A house-elf with the Mayflower badge on her body was already waiting there, and she bowed respectfully to them, and in a sentence half English and half French, greeted:

"Hello sir, ma'am...... Leave the luggage to me, and I'll take you two to the room. ”

This bilingual greeting is the usual way of greeting passengers on the Mayflower, without assumptions, and allowing passengers to respond in a language that they feel comfortable with.

"No need, I'll just take it myself." Rove refused.

Except for a few special people, he wouldn't let his box go, after all, there were too many magical creatures in the box, and once he let them out, it would not be a small accident.

Looking at the house-elf's confused expression, Rove smiled:

"Don't be nervous, Janie, I'm Rov Scamander, and I used Transfiguration to get to where I was."

Jenny's eyes widened, and she said happily, "I'm still wondering, I haven't seen you for two years, how did you become like this......"

Rove smiled and introduced her to Shirley again.

He and Jenny are old acquaintances.

Two years ago, he traveled to the United States aboard the Mayflower, and Jenny was the house-elf he served in his room.

Later, when Myssela's Cabloon attacked the Mayflower, Rove rescued the entire ship and a shipload of wizards.

As a token of his gratitude, Captain Carlos separated the room where Rove was staying, and the right to use it belonged to him permanently.

So, this time, it was Jenny who came out to greet them.

Led by Jenny, Rove and Shirley make their way down the hallway to a private suite with a brass plaque on the door, originally the room number "C4", now also - Scamander.

Rove pushed the door open and was greeted by a bright living room:

Rose-colored walls, decorated with gilded pewter lilies, marble floors adorned with violet motifs, and a vermilion sheepskin-faced sofa with long silk tassels draped......

Rove looked around and saw that the room was much larger than his last stay, and had become more luxurious.

"Captain Carlos specially explained and rearranged the room." Jenny explains:

"In addition to this, the area of the garden is also enlarged with a traceless stretching spell, and a small study room has been added......"

Listening to Jenny's introduction, Rove was also speechless, and said secretly in his heart:

Captain Carlos's dedication to such a big battle can't be a request from him, right?

Rove muttered in his heart, he thought about it and decided to take the initiative.

"Janie, can you help me get a message to Captain Carlos? Just say I have something important to interview him, and you ask him when he has time. ”

"Yes, I'll go to Mr. Carlos, and if you have any orders, just call me." Jenny disappeared into the room.

"Are you going to show Captain Carlos what you found in Azkaban?" Shirley asked.

"Yes." Rove put down the black leather suitcase, sat down on the soft sofa, and said, "I need Captain Carlos to help confirm...... Is it his old friend. ”

Shirley was silent for a moment, then curious, "Who is the old man we just met at the docks?" ”

"His name is Horace Slughorn." Rove explains:

"I used to be a professor of potions at Hogwarts and the head of Slytherin House, but when I retired, I gave the job to Professor Snape."

Shirley sighed, and her appearance returned to her original appearance in an instant, and she sat down next to Rove and said softly, "I'll help you restore your appearance." ”

Rov lay down, resting her head on the ponytail's bouncy legs, and she raised her wand strap to cast a little transfiguration on his face.

"Shirley, you don't have to worry about hearing something like Slughorn's in the future." The boy closed his eyes and said:

"Most people are like that, preferring to deny the facts rather than face the truth...... When Voldemort comes out, the truth will naturally be revealed. ”

Shirley lowered her head and said softly, "I know, but when I heard him speak ill of you, I was very angry." ”

Rove's heart warmed, and he opened his eyes, quietly admiring the girl's beautiful face, which was as gentle as water.

After waiting to regain her appearance, Shirley stood up and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window on the side of the living room.

She opened the window, and the sea breeze blew through the hall, blowing one curtain in and out the other, like two rolling waves.

Shirley stood in front of the window, looking out, and she saw the sparkling sea, and the rising sun, dyeing the sea gold, and exclaimed excitedly:

"Rov, come here...... You can see the sea here! ”

The first time she saw the sea was when she went to the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary that summer to look for Rove and saw the sea with him.

This is the second time in her life that she has seen the sea!

When Rove heard this, he walked quickly to the window, stood side by side with her, and looked at the sea view outside the window, and he asked:

"This is the room for our trip, do you still like it?"

"I like it!" The ponytailed girl nodded vigorously and looked at the sky with joy.

In the distance, the brilliant pink and golden morning glow rolls over the sea like marshmallows.

"It's beautiful." Shirley leaned forward slightly, she stretched out her hand, as if trying to grasp the cloud, and then the girl smiled softly, and the laughter was both nice and charming.

"Rove, I'd like to get a red cloud, put you on it, and push you around on the sea."

Rove laughed as well, reaching out and touching Shirley's ponytail.
