Chapter 128 Life on the Boat
Chapter 128 Life on the Boat
Alayya was already very familiar with life on the ship, because when she returned to Newt's time, she had lived on the ship with him. The only difference was that there were two noisy pets around her, always disturbing her when she wanted to be alone and look at the scenery by the window.
He either licked the back of her hand or ate her hair, with only one purpose and that was to "attract her attention." Although Newt felt a little disturbed because he was drawing a portrait of Alaia, but that was a small animal~ Newt was both angry and loving.
Of course, there are more guys who "can't stand being lonely", such as Barty Crouch Jr., who would come to visit him with desserts that came from nowhere. Although they all have their own dormitory rooms, it is obvious that only Peter's room is the most lively, with all kinds of noises.
His arrival made the two pets a little excited, especially the black dog, who pounced and tried to bite little Batty's leg. However, little Batty was also a ruthless man, and he kicked the black dog in the stomach. The black dog whimpered and shrank behind Alayya in grievance, pretending to be pitiful.
Barty pretended to be apologetic. "Sorry, it was a reflex. Is it okay?" But his expression was still that of a proud nobleman. He placed the plate steadily on the table next to Alaiya. He turned around and grabbed the antlers that rushed towards him. "Your pet is really - elusive~"
"Blackie!" Alaia was really scared. She didn't expect Barty to be so cruel and really attack small animals. Although Sirius was the first to start it, it was a bit too much. But when she thought about it, he was a little pervert, everything seemed to make sense.
"You're going too far. You're not welcome here!" Alayya picked up the plate of dessert and stuffed it back into Little Barty's arms. "You can leave now!"
Newt immediately went to Sirius' side, wanting to check his injuries, but when the black dog raised his head and found that it was not Peter, he stopped whimpering instantly, his tail drooped, and turned his head to support James and Peter, without any trace of the pain just now.
Little Barty also realized that his appearance this time seemed a bit out of line. He underestimated the importance of the two beasts to the senior. So he changed his attitude a little. "I'm really sorry. I was acting out of instinctive self-protection. Next time I will let it bite me."
After this self-inflicted self-torture, Alayya had no choice but to accept his dessert. "It's okay. My pet was frightened and met a stranger, so it bit you. I hope Mr. Crouch doesn't take it to heart." Don't take revenge on that guy Sirius.
"It's okay~" Little Batty smiled again, "If I come a few more times, he will recognize me!" Without waiting for Alayya to say anything else, he bowed slightly and walked out, "Then see you next time~"
Before leaving, he even touched the fawn's back in a seemingly friendly manner, which made James a little crazy. He rolled on the floor like he was stained, or jumped up and turned around to bite the fur on his back. It really pissed him off! He was stained!
After sending little Barty away, the black dog quickly lowered its body and came to Alayya's feet, and began a new round of pretending to "wail woof woof" and turned its belly over for comfort. Newt, who knew the truth, was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and went up to "treat him" again. As a result, the black dog quickly rubbed its body away from Newt and got closer to Alayya.
Of course, the other person who was arranged to come, Regulus, also kept in mind his mother's instructions to always pay attention to Peter's movements and to "socialize" with him well. Of course, he also wanted to understand his brother's current situation through Peter.
So when Regulus appeared at the door, he also received a fierce warning from the black dog. In order to prevent the same dispute from happening again, Regulus was stabbed out by James's antlers before he even entered the door. Sirius pushed the door shut tacitly, and the dog and the deer proudly high-fived the deer's hooves with their dog paws, which made Alaia laugh.
Of course, there are guys who can be avoided, and there are also guys who cannot be driven away, such as Lucius Malfoy, who acts on orders. In order to ensure Peter's safety and alienate Peter and Newt, he has come to comfort Peter many times.
He either came to deliver some food, beds and quilts, or a set of anti-seasickness potion. At the very least, he came to deliver a letter from the Dark Lord. He stayed there for quite a while, asking him indirectly about the relationship between him and the Dark Lord, without avoiding Newt at all, and it was obvious that he didn't take him seriously.
And Newt really hated Malfoy, he had some issues with the Malfoy family since his school days, and now he was annoying Peter every day, causing Newt to even take the initiative to talk to Lucius, even though he was not good at it.
"Um, that - Master Malfoy, don't you need to accompany your woman?"
"Well, if it's my lady, she is currently on vacation in France with her sisters."
"Well, I want to talk to your father. Can you show me the way?"
"Um - my father has passed away a few years ago."
"Oh, sorry, please accept my condolences!"
After several attempts, Newt finally gave up. It was too embarrassing. He couldn't do it! He couldn't stop Lucius from chatting with Peter. He was really not good at chatting.
Alaiya looked at Newt who was sitting down and seemed to be about to break. Finally, she used her trump card, "Um - I want to take a shower! Mr. Malfoy, please step aside first~"
This trick worked well. Lucius didn't want Riddle's spies to think that he was spying on Peter, because then he couldn't explain it clearly. But after so many times, in Lucius's mind, Peter was just a sissy who loved to be clean. He didn't understand why the Dark Lord saw him? Could it be -
In this way, Alayya spent every day in a lively manner. The only bad thing was that the time when the ship floated to the surface was not fixed every day, so she might not receive Lupin's letter on time, and she always felt sorry for him.
She did receive letters from Lily Evans quite often, but every time James would return to his nest with the letter in his mouth. She didn't know what they talked about, but sometimes she could see some scraps of paper. She didn't quite understand, but she respected her friends for being themselves.
Finally, after half a month of wandering, they finally arrived at the American continent. Alayya walked down the deck with Newt's help and returned to the familiar yet strange place again. She looked at Newt, and he seemed to be somewhat moved, with red eyes.
He is back!
