Chapter 128 The So-Called Regulations
"This is a misunderstanding!"
In the study room, Timothy Wayne, the headline subject of the "Gotham Gazette", was full of despair, explaining in vain to Bruce who was seriously interrogating him on the sofa, and beside him was a face that was about to merge with the Muggle black suit on his body. All in one, locking the Potions Professor with his death gaze.
Diana, Wonder Woman, was there too, her thick black curly hair falling over her shoulders and her pajamas.Apparently she was using the Wayne House as a vacation spot, and was relishing the newspaper specials listing Tim's various girlfriends.
Behind the Potions Professor was a tired man with graying hair, who also looked at Tim from top to bottom with eyes that made people feel hairy - as if he was appraising him?
And Damian, who was yawning and happened to pass by the study, after understanding the ins and outs of the incident, smirked at the newspaper, making no secret of his gloating.
As for whether Damian himself will be treated in the same way as Tim is now because he has "unreasonable thoughts" about Harley in the future, it is obviously ignored by this silly boy-Tim really wants to knock Damian's Head, see which piece of brain area has not been developed.I don't understand how this silly boy lost even the most basic association and reasoning ability.
When the day comes, he will also gloat over Damian's misfortune!Tim promised himself!
"There's really nothing between us." Tim raised his hands-people in the Bat family seldom swear, because this kind of false behavior has no practical effect, but Tim now thinks of 1 oaths-as long as they can The four adults let him go.
"I swear," Tim said in his most sincere tone, "Harry's just my sister, and I don't have any other thoughts about her—how old is she! I don't either...' Taste shifts from older women On to Lolita... trust me, Bruce, Professor Snape."
"I took Harley to the dinner party because Clarke was there and Harley couldn't be locked up at home... She needed socializing outside of us and the wizarding world; Advantages can reduce the vigilance of the subjects under investigation..."
Well...he shouldn't have added a second reason, Tim swallowed, the black-haired potions professor and the mysterious man behind it all wanted to eat him now.
"The crisis is over...we won..." Tim added in a low voice, hinting with his eyes that Bruce was at least on the same side as me!
He doesn't count on Damian, it would be nice not to make him worse.
Things are pretty grim...who would have thought that Harley's first appearance on the Gotham social scene would be taken as Tim's rumored girlfriend?
This group of reporters is too crazy, probably because Harley's dress last night was a bit mature and simple, and this reporter only showed Harley's back in order to attract attention, so it can be regarded as a short 15- or 6-year-old girl ——And, the picture that was captured was that she and Tim were biting each other's ears.
Of course Bruce knew that the two children were secretly exchanging information, and Tim couldn't do such a frenzied thing like attacking a 13-year-old girl—but others didn't know...such as the Potions Master who came to him behind him.
Bruce suddenly had a headache...
"Okay," Bruce nodded, and he was dragged to "interrogate" Tim before he got up to refill his coffee/coffee/caine, which made him feel that he was still not fully awake, "I see, I believe you."
Damian actually looked disappointed that Tim was let off so easily...
"Both you and Damian can go. By the way, call Harley down, if she wakes up."
"Why?" Damian interrupted, "She did nothing wrong."
"It's not to criticize her, but in our opinion, there are some things that must be clearly emphasized with her." Bruce looked up at Snape, and the other party nodded, who should have the same opinion as him.
So Harley was called downstairs early in the morning, and sat obediently in front of the three elders with a puzzled face - she didn't understand what the interrogation posture was for.
"Mr. Lupine...good morning." Harry first saw the kind werewolf behind Snape who helped them last night, "Have you recovered? Sorry for hurting you last night."
Lupine shook his head and smiled at Harry, "I'm the one who needs to apologize. I'm very grateful for your decisiveness last night, otherwise I might have hurt innocent people - that's what hurt me the most . If it happened, I would never forgive myself."
Harry nodded, and took the newspaper that Uncle Bruce handed him.Her eyes widened as soon as she saw the title—and she was so shocked that she was speechless.
"Don't worry about the headlines fabricated by these reporters to catch people's attention. As public figures, the Wayne family cannot avoid these..." Bruce paused, gritted his teeth, and suppressed his embarrassment, "However, this is not what I want to talk to you today. The main topic of discussion... Now that you are on your period..."
"No... don't tell me it's a one-time education again... the bird and the bee story or something." *Harry put down the newspaper and couldn't help but interject, she was also embarrassed-there are so many people in the study now nah!She wanted to cover her ears. "Dick and Tim told me that years ago. Why do you always try to tell me this..." She winced and whispered.
"Because this kind of thing can't be overemphasized." Snape said suddenly, his tone was ironic, which shocked everyone, especially Lupine, "Only when the emphasis is not enough! The next second, An innocent girl was fooled by a bad boy because of her own stupidity! She became pregnant with a bang! This is an extremely irresponsible behavior for myself!"
Lupine was tempted to say that people don't get pregnant "with a bang"...but Snape's serious expression made him hold back.
How could Snape say such a thing?Lupine couldn't believe it...
God, if James knew that Snape would educate his daughter like this one day, what expression would James show...
"Although...the details are open to debate," Bruce added, "I agree with your Potions Professor. And, I must make a rule - you are not allowed to have a boyfriend until you are of age."
Diana on the side couldn't help laughing because of this "rule".
"You can have friends, and he's a boy, but not boyfriends," *Bruce said.
Harry froze.
"Uh... How old was Brother Dick when he had a girlfriend?"
"...It's not important. And it has nothing to do with today's topic about you."
"...that's not fair." Harry snorted.
"I don't care about fairness," Bruce said brutally.
"...Okay." Harry bowed his head.
Snape nodded in agreement.Lupine suddenly began to worry...James was at Harry's age...had already begun the long journey of chasing his wife.
In case Harley also inherited James' ups and downs in love... I really can't find a boyfriend in the future to see how anxious their elders will be.
Of course, caring about the inheritance of James' bloodline is not the main purpose of Lupine's visit today.
"When I first joined the pack of wolves led by Greyback, he had been wandering in the United States for several months, hurting many people, especially children..." Several adults have now dismissed the children and sat around In the study room, several important topics were seriously discussed.
"According to my investigation last night, a total of more than a dozen children in the United States survived - transformed into werewolves." Bruce called up a data report on the screen at hand. "They're all ordinary people who don't know magic. The Magical Congress of America has told Tim that they won't interfere with our werewolf management."
"Are we going to kill them?" Diana frowned, not having the heart to hurt these innocent children.
"It's like AIDS, or some kind of physical disability, that doesn't kill your hope of living." Bruce tapped his fingers on the table, considering possible solutions.
Subsequently, in the name of the Justice League, Bruce established a fund for these children whose fate had been changed, to support Snape and other American potion masters to brew wolf potions for them, as well as possible follow-up education support.
On behalf of the American Potions Association, Snape accepted the commission and told Bruce that they would only charge for the raw materials forever.
At least the transformation process of these children in the future life will not be so painful, and it will not hurt people again.
This way of handling made Lupine, who is also a werewolf, feel grateful from the bottom of his heart, and deeply admired this new member of Harley's family - Mr. Wayne is indeed a great person.
However, these are all things for later, and there is another question that Lupine is thinking about at the moment——
"Mr. Wayne, can you... let me see those two big black dogs?" Lupine was thinking about his words. He always suspected that he had read wrongly last night. The Werewolf - because that couldn't be that man, it couldn't be Sirius Black...
Bruce raised one eyebrow at the odd request, "Mr. Pennyworth—my housekeeper—took the dogs to the doctor after eating burritos the day before."
"I've checked, Lupine, it's not an Animagus." Snape said coldly, with the usual sarcasm in his tone. "Are you suspicious because you lost to two dogs? Sorry for the blow." Your self-esteem. It is possible for a giant dog to subdue a werewolf, not to mention that neither of those dogs is an ordinary dog."
"One of them was cultivated by the craziest and most dangerous lunatics in Gotham—you just came to the Muggle world of Gotham, and you don't understand the situation and background here. Compared with the lunatic Joker, the Dark Lord is an angel."
At least the Dark Lord's actions have their own purpose and basis, Joker?Just for the sake of spoiling, just for what he thinks is "fun"... Nobody can understand what this madman is doing.
"Are you sure?" Snape checked?Lupine was even less confident about what he saw last night, "Mr. Wayne, may I ask when the two dogs were adopted/adopted?"
"Ace is very early. On Christmas of a certain year, I need to check the record for the exact time, or wait for Ah Fu to come back and ask him... Titus, it was Jason—my other adopted son—who died in more than two years. I picked it up and brought it to Harley."
Lupine nodded silently, lost in thought...
"By the way," he suddenly remembered another matter, took out an envelope from his pocket, and pushed it to Mr. Wayne, "here is...a photo of Harry's father receiving the Quidditch trophy when he was a student... me and Her father was a childhood friend. Please give it to her as an apology from me, or a Christmas present."
After hearing the contents of the photo, Snape snorted coldly.
Bruce took the envelope, "Don't you want to hand it to her yourself?"
"No." Lupine smiled gently with bitterness, "Judging from last night's experience, Harley can completely protect herself, and I will only bring disaster to her."
Bruce looked at the obviously discrepant atmosphere between the two wizards in front of him, and didn't say much. He just put away the envelope and said that he would hand it to Harry.
*************
But at this time in the kitchen, the three children all had their own concerns, sitting around the dining table, silently eating the breakfast that Ah Fu had left early in the morning.
Tim is depressed, while Halle and Damian are embarrassed.
It was so embarrassing that even after accidentally meeting their eyes, they had to move away quickly.
Harry didn't dare look up for fear of finding Damian looking at her again, and she didn't know what to say.
So she could only lower her head, stare at her milk, and reach for the jam jar according to the impression just now—but she grabbed the hand that Damian reached out at the same time.
"Uh..." Harry quickly pulled back his finger, feeling hotter than last night's ring, "You first, you first..."
This was the first sentence she said to Damian today, she couldn't even say good morning just now.
Damian didn't accept Harry's refusal, but remained silent, pushing the jam jar in front of her.
"I can't stand it anymore." Tim, who had watched the whole pantomime, put down the toast in his hand and pinched the frown between his brows. "Did you have a good communication today? At least, go out and play together? Since you Haven't seen each other for a long time... and Damian doesn't have any 'Titan affairs'."
He wisely didn't use the term "a date"...
Damian pursed his lips and was silent for a while.The unspoken "date" plan almost made Tim choke to death on the coffee.
"Do you want to go to space? The Teen Titans just captured an advanced alien ship last night."
This calm tone is like the two of them are going to watch an animated movie...
