Harry Potter: The Party of the Orient at Hogwarts

Chapter 144 Go Back

Jiang Li, who was concentrating on treating Newt's wound, felt the sudden heat from her wrist, and Newt's gray-green eyes were staring at her face.

"I'm Lita's friend, I heard that you are her fiance's younger brother." Jiang Li answered him, she tried to calm herself down with a straight face.

"Thank you, what did you use to take me out of the Ministry of Magic just now?" Newt asked tentatively, he felt that the skill just now didn't feel like Apparition.

"Apparition." Jiang Li wiped the last bit of baixian on his arm, then patted the grass clippings on his skirt and stood up.

"Then you are really good, you went directly from Paris to Hogwarts!" Newt showed a surprised expression, and then asked immediately, "Where are Lita and Tina?"

"They should be taken away by your pets, can you still walk, Mr. Scamander?" Jiang Li looked down at Newt who was still lying on the grass.

Newt was staring blankly at her face, she read surprise and surprise in his eyes, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

"Are you all right, Mr. Scamander?" Jiang Li bent down and shook his hands in front of his eyes.

Newt quickly came to his senses: "Sorry, I should be fine."

The woman in front of him looked very similar to the little girl he knew, but without that childishness, she was even more charming, but Jiang Li seemed to have said that there was no older sister in the family, only an older brother who was on business trips all year round.

After getting his reply, Jiang Li took his arm and slowly helped him up.

"I'll take you back to Paris, Rita and your girlfriend should be safe, I think they should be worried about you."

Jiang Li supported him and walked slowly along the black lake. The wind lifted her loose hair and scratched Newt's neck, but it left an itchy feeling in his heart.

"I think you look like a friend of mine. You are prettier than her, but she is younger, about ten years younger than you." Newt scratched his neck, trying to find something to say.

Jiang Li turned to look at him, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Mr. Scamander, is this how you approach girls?"

Newt looked at the girl beside him with a smile and bright eyes. He felt a familiar feeling. He felt the strong beating of his heart.

"No, no, I'm not striking up a conversation, I'm telling the truth." Newt was a little embarrassed by what she said, and didn't want the other party to think he was an apprentice.

"Then who is that friend of yours? A child?" Jiang Li asked him pretending to be ignorant.

"Although she is not very old, she is a very kind and brave girl. She likes to laugh very much. Her eyes are as beautiful as yours, always shining."

When Newt talked about Jiang Li, he couldn't help but put a smile on his face. He gestured to the girl in front of him. He didn't know why. He who doesn't like to talk to strangers, suddenly talked so much today.

"Is it someone who is important to you?" Jiang Li looked into his gray-blue eyes.

"Yes! A very important person." Newt answered her without thinking, and smiled shyly as she looked into his eyes.

Jiang Li felt like time had stopped at this moment, and the gentle look on his face almost made her cry.

"If she hears you say that, she will be very happy." Jiang Li smiled and said to him, this was her heartfelt voice.

Newt smiled at her and scratched his hair embarrassingly: "She is still angry with me and doesn't want to talk to me. Leta said she was at the Ministry of Magic and she knew I was there, but she didn't want to." Come find me."

"Actually, I talked too much that day. I wanted to apologize to her face to face, but I couldn't find where she was. Tell me, am I really bad?"

Newt lowered his head and continued talking, through the scattered hair on his forehead, he could see his clear eyes, hiding guilt and sadness.

"No, Mr. Scamander, I think that child, like me, thinks you are a gentle and strong person, I think she must have forgiven you secretly in her heart, waiting for you to find her." Jiang Li affirmed She said that no one knew what she was thinking better than herself.

While her words comforted Newt, he felt surprised at the same time. He looked back at her inadvertently, and found that she was staring at him, with a gentle light shining in her shining eyes, like stars falling into them. He felt The heart seemed to be hit by something.

"We have to go to Paris by ship. I don't dare to apparate you again. If you split into two parts, I will be guilty." Jiang Li half-jokingly said to him.

Newt clutched his heart, and he could still feel the violent throbbing in his palm through the flesh and ribs.

"What's the matter? Mr. Scamander, is your heart uncomfortable?" Jiang Li, who had already let go of him, held his arm again and asked with concern.

When she approached, Newt smelled the familiar scent of roses again. He looked at her in a daze, and had a bold speculation in his heart that he couldn't believe himself.

"No, I'm fine. Maybe it's because of excessive blood loss. By the way, you can call me Newt. I don't know your name yet." Newt suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked her name yet, and he was suddenly very upset. I don't want the other party to call me Mr. Scamander.

"I think, Scamander... oh no, Newt, maybe we won't meet again in the future, so we don't need to know my name." Jiang Li didn't want to tell him who he was, I also don't want to give him a fake name to perfuse him.

Hearing what she said, the thought in Newt's mind became even stronger.

It took them some time to finally board the ship to Paris. Jiang Li roughly calculated the time. When they arrived in Paris, the effect of the medicine Rozier gave would expire. Newt had to leave.

She and Newt sat side by side on a bench on the deck. The sea was calm today, with only a gentle sea breeze blowing on their cheeks.

After traveling for so long, from Hogwarts to the Ministry of Magic and here again, Jiang Li was already extremely tired. Because Newt was by her side, she felt an unprecedented sense of security, so she fell asleep with her head tilted on Newt's shoulder. up.

Newt suddenly felt his shoulders sink and saw her falling asleep leaning on his shoulders. She was sleeping peacefully, her slender eyelashes were trembling slightly, but her hands were tightly clutching his sleeves. Believe in yourself.

Newt remained in this position for several hours in order not to wake her, all the way to the port in Paris.

Awakened by the sound of a huge siren approaching the shore, Jiang Li found that she had fallen asleep leaning on Newt's shoulder, and Newt seemed to have fallen asleep next to her head.

She quickly looked at Newt's clothes, and found no suspicious water stains. Fortunately, she didn't drool while sleeping.

"Here?" Newt rubbed his sleepy eyes.

Jiang Li nodded and disembarked with him to the port of Paris.

"Newt, I have to go back, I think Rita and Tina should go to Père Lachaise."

Jiang Li felt that the potion's potency was fading little by little, she couldn't hold back in the end, and hugged Newt.

"Good luck, Newt, be brave, I'm sure Tina likes you too."

Newt froze, and before he could say anything, she disappeared from his sight.

He looked at the endless stream of people at the port, covered his heart, opened his mouth, and made an almost inaudible sound.

"Thank you, Li."
