"Of course not, His Majesty just said that I look a lot more beautiful, and as the nominal sovereign of England, she couldn't possibly pay all her attention to me. In fact, on that occasion, no one would ask This kind of rude and embarrassing question, it's etiquette, darling, do you understand?"
The two little guys on the sofa looked at her with a vague understanding, Xia Xia basically understood what she meant, while Jessica Rowling asked at a loss: "But I heard a lot of people say that because of that movie , the royal family doesn't like you."
"Okay, dear, even if the royal family doesn't like me, as long as I don't do anything out of the ordinary or affect their image, they won't show it publicly, let alone in this kind of public place." Angela had a headache. explaining.
Sure enough, little Rowling still didn't quite understand, and seemed to want to ask further, but Xia Xia interrupted in time: "Why don't you tell us about Her Royal Highness Princess Wang."
Too bad she chose the wrong topic.
"Xia Xia, Her Royal Highness Princess did not attend the New Year's dinner." The girl spread her hands with a wry smile. Because the separated Crown Prince and Princess kept exposing family scandals to each other, Queen Elizabeth II finally publicly and forcibly ordered Charles and Diana as soon as possible on Christmas Eve. Divorce, if the princess will still show up at the New Year's dinner, that's hell.
Fortunately, before little Rowling could continue to ask questions, Aunt Rowling came out of the kitchen with Kate with a plate of freshly baked odd cookies: "Hi, girls, the best cookies are ready."
Little Rowling jumped up with cheers, ran to her mother and jumped up and shouted to try it first.
"Okay, greedy cat. Wash your hands first, or you won't be allowed to eat." Rowling patted her daughter on the head affectionately. Before, although she ended the days of living on welfare, the burden of life still made her a little overwhelmed until "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was published.
It was different from what Angela imagined. "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" did not make much waves in the book market. In 1995, the sales volume in the United States for a whole year was only 70,000 copies. In the United Kingdom, it was better, and it was also 70,000 copies. She did not appear at all. The situation claimed by that time and space caused a sensation as soon as it was published.
The girl was puzzled by this. She thought that she had caused some changes, but the whole book was not much different from what she remembered. Even if some parts were unclear, the main line of the whole story had not changed. So why does this happen? Fortunately, even if it is not high, the total sales of 150,000 copies on both sides of the ocean still let Rowling get rid of the previous embarrassing situation, otherwise Angela will definitely die of guilt.
"Would you like a piece?" Rowling brought the plate to Angela with a smile. Although the baking time was a little long, and the edges of the golden-yellow cookies were slightly burnt, the fragrance of the cream still made people drool.
"Of course, Aunt Rowling's cream cookie is eaten every year, but every year there is not enough." The girl smiled and picked up the best baked piece in the middle, and took half of it in one bite.
"It's not doing very well today. Jessica and I just moved house and we don't have many ingredients to work with. I thought you guys would be here in a few days or I could bake some honey apple pies." Rowling shrugged. .
"That's a pity." The girl sighed and shook her head. Rowling's baked ground cookies and apple pie have a wonderful flavor that she likes very much. Every time she comes back to London to visit her in recent years, she always has to taste it.
"Your coffee, cappuccino." Kate, who was serving the drink, pushed the cup to the front, and the white foam looked very sweet.
"Thank you." Angela has been in love with this type of coffee since that time in Kate's apartment. Although she doesn't drink much, if there is coffee, she will definitely want this flavor.
"Aren't you worried about getting fat?" Looking at the girl with coffee in one hand and odd cookie in the other, Kate suddenly laughed.
Angela was stunned for a while. To be honest, she had never considered this issue. After all, it would be impossible for her to think about herself getting fat again, to maintain her figure, and so on. Thinking about the weight loss she had seen in her previous life A model with ribs, she felt a little chilly, at least from the perspective of her former male, it was the most suitable to be neither fat nor thin, such as Kate's figure!
"I don't have to worry about it, I have my own secret to staying in shape." The girl finally shrugged.
"Really? What is it?" Kate suddenly became interested, Rowling's eyes also lit up, and Angela immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing. Obviously, as long as women are interested in the topic of maintaining their figure - except for her !
"Well, well, to put it simply, it's doing yoga or something. In short, it's like releasing the excess heat." Angela said nonsense, seeing the two women in front of them in disbelief, and quickly added: "Of course. , I practice... Kung Fu to keep myself active, remember, Kate, I told you that my grandmother knows Chinese Kung Fu, and I have learned a lot from her.
Then she changed the subject: "Instead of worrying about me getting fat, it is better to worry about these two little guys, look, there are biscuits all over the cheeks."
Xia Xia and Little Rowling on the side suddenly raised their heads and looked at them. The eyes of the two little guys were wide open, and their innocent looks made people laugh, but even so, their mouths still didn't stop.
"Well, I'm just talking." Angela scratched her head and changed the subject again: "By the way, Joe, yours
How was the second episode? When I was in New York, Mr. Vincent mentioned it. If I remember correctly, it should be called "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". "
Speaking of which, her heart suddenly lit up, although Vincent mostly complained when he talked to her about "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". After all, the sales volume of 70,000 copies was too ordinary. Compared with what he boasted at the time, Ra was a typical thunderstorm with little rain, but at the end he revealed that he had contacted Rowling to ask.
When will the second episode be finished!
As a publisher who is still successful at present, Vincent will certainly not be out of sight. After complaining about sales, he contacted Rowling to prepare for the publication.
The second episode, then only one thing can be said, the sequel has a lot to do!
So Angela suddenly understood, thinking about the Harry Potter series that she had read in her previous life, no doubt, only after reading two or three books in a row will she appreciate the splendor of them, so it is normal for the first book to sell mediocrely. As long as Rowling continues to write, keeps the story in her memory with the girl unchanged, and uses a movie to hype it up after two or three episodes, there will be absolutely no problem in blowing a magical whirlwind.
"Yes, Vincent did contact me," Rowling nodded regretfully. "But there is still only an outline. I have to go to work and take care of Jessica. It may not be completed until the second half of the year."
"Really?" Angela originally wanted to say that it's better to resign and concentrate on writing books at home, but after thinking about it, she let it go, so she nodded: "Okay, then I'll wait for your new book to be published."
Immediately, she raised her hand and blinked: "Don't reveal the plot, let me have a surprise then."
Rowling laughed, thought for a while before asking again, "Angie, can you tell me which character you like the most?"
"Of course it's the Gryffindor Golden Triangle." The girl blurted out without thinking, and looked at the future Miss Hermione beside her. Well, there is still a face full of cookie crumbs.
"Golden Triangle? The name is quite interesting." Rowling couldn't help raising her eyebrows.
"Oh, I just thought of it suddenly, if it doesn't fit..." Angela explained quickly.
"It's okay, I said it, this name is very interesting," the future magic mother didn't care, and continued to ask: "Then what about the three of them?"
"That's a lot. Several main characters are quite interesting, Neville, Weasley brothers, McGonagall, and Dumbledore." Speaking of which, Angela suddenly paused, and seemed to think carefully before saying: "If there is one that is most special."
"who is it?"
"Snape!"
If you choose the ten most unforgettable chapters in the Harry Potter series watched in the past life, the "Prince's Tale" in "The Deathly Hallows" is definitely on the list, and no one would think of that annoying betrayal. Snape who betrayed the past, there will be such a story on the greasy big bat, and even die-hard fans claim that they can't stop crying after reading this.
"Why?" Rowling was a little surprised.
"There is a saying in China that hateful people must also have pitiful things. Although Snape is really annoying, I don't think you should arrange such a simple role, right?" Angela blinked, she didn't want too much Interfering with Rowling's creation, but indeed sympathizing with Snape, I had to say a few words.
"Well... Well, I know, but I think I'd better leave you a surprise." Rowling looked at Angela and stroked her chin thoughtfully.
"What are you talking about?" Xia Xia turned her head at this time. After she and Little Rowling had completely divided up the cookies, they finally remembered to wipe their mouths clean.
"It's nothing, dear, we are discussing "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"." Angela took the girl into her arms, and Rowling also took Jessica into her arms, teasing her daughter from time to time.
"Is that the book that my mother read to me?" Xia Xia opened her eyes wide, "Written by Aunt Rowling?!"
"God, dear Xia Xia, you listened to our discussion for so long, wouldn't you just react now?!" Angela shook her head and sighed, but Xia Xia didn't listen at all, got out of her arms and immediately pulled it Rowling, chirping with bright eyes, pushed Jessica aside.
The girl could only continue to shake her head, but seeing this scene was full of warmth, her heart moved, and she suddenly looked at Kate who had been listening to them quietly: "Kate, can you give me my guitar?"
"What are you going to do?" Kate handed the guitar slightly surprised.
"I may have a good word." Angela took it over with a smile. Of course, a piece of work needs to be constantly revised, but the usual inspiration also needs to be accumulated. Just like the original song "Light", it was also because of the recording of his own acting. I wrote it out of feeling, but she has always paid no attention to the occasional clips in her life due to various emotions. The songs she sang in the manor a few days ago because of venting were not very good, but they were bright. But there are quite a few, so she decided that there will be similar things in the future, and as long as the conditions allow, they should be sung or recorded as soon as possible, even if they will not be used in the future.
In fact, it was this move that made her music take another step in its own direction.
After the strings were plucked, Rowling and the others looked at the girl, and Angela smiled lightly: "Want to listen to a song? Sing at will, it may not sound very good, but it is a reflection of my mood at the moment."
The guitar's voice is gentle and smooth, which makes people feel very comfortable. The girl gently opened her lips and sang this song about mother and daughter...
