"It doesn't matter, after all, plans are not as fast as changing," Angela said with a hint of helplessness when she heard the apologetic voice over the phone, "If I want to say sorry, I should say it to you... Okay. , that's it, if you still can't get to London by the end of the New Year's holiday, it's okay, I can go back to Los Angeles anyway."
After ending the call, Angela threw the phone away and sighed in dismay. She didn't know what she was depressed about. As she just said, the plans don't always keep up with the changes, and everyone has their own things to do, Kate is just going to a friend's party, which is normal isn't it
Probably because it was the first time that Kate was back in the UK but was not around, Angela covered her mouth and rubbed her face. After all, she is always with herself when she returns to London at the end of each year, so it's normal to be a little unaccustomed to it now... Well, that's it, absolutely nothing to do with Rachel who is throwing a party!
Xia Xia jumped from the inside to the balcony at this time, her eyes lit up when she saw Angela, and she rushed over and hugged her: "So you were here, I thought you slipped away halfway."
"How come, if it really slips out halfway, it won't save Joe's face?" Angela immediately pinched her tender face, "Although it was a party organized by the crew, Joe was also one of the organizers, no ?"
Chris Columbus worked so hard for the filming of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", and even took his family over from the United States to stay in England for a whole year. So when Angela was visiting Rowling, Mama Magic proposed to hold a party in the name of the crew and invite everyone to be lively.
Angela agreed without thinking, and she soon regretted it. It was originally planned to be held at Columbus's or Rowling's, but after sorting out the list, I found that it was impossible. Because the invitation object is the entire crew, that is to say, from the director to the lighting engineer, props engineer, various assistants and actors are all within the scope!
Even though many Americans have gone back to China for the holidays, there are many who stayed here like Columbus, and all the actors are British. As a result, both the Columbus family and the Rowling family looked small, and Angela didn't think it was a good idea to hold a party at her grandfather's manor, so she settled on a hotel in inner London. As for how the paparazzi would react, Angela knew after the invitation list was released that these guys would inevitably come to join in the fun, so she simply forgot about it, as long as they didn't let them join the party.
After being dragged into the room by Xia Xia, Angela soon had a bunch of little devils around. In addition to the "Gryffindor Golden Triangle", there are quite a few small actors - mostly children of the cast members, who have basically made cameos in the film as Hogwarts students, such as John and Michael of the Columbuses. Lulu, one of Xia Xia's best friends, also happily came to join in the fun after receiving the invitation. Coupled with Rowling's daughter Jessica, these guys were noisier than 100,000 ducks together. . Fortunately, the adult area and the children's area were divided at the beginning, otherwise God knows what these little devils will toss the scene into.
"Listen, little guys, this is a party, you should do what you want to do unscrupulously, instead of asking this and that around me!" Angela said with a big headache, and she didn't care what she said. Whether it is appropriate or not, as long as you divert the troubles around you. It seems that being popular with children is sometimes not a good thing.
"But the problem is, what we most want to do now is to ask that by your side!" A hilarious voice came from the group of children, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.
"Really?" Angela raised her eyebrows and glanced at the little boy who was talking. Although that kid Lulu was very covert, the act of talking in the boy's ear with a smirk still didn't escape her eyes.
"You all have to understand that everyone can do whatever they want without restraint, so—" Angela looked around solemnly, "Let me see, which angle is easier to escape from?"
Some of the little guys immediately started booing, but fortunately Xia Xia stood up and stood in front of Angela: "Okay, can't you guys come over in order? Anji is not an ornament in the museum."
How many come here? Am I doing anything else? What kind of relief is this? Angela rolled her eyes and immediately waved her hand: "Okay, I'm going over there now, and I'll say that when I come over later... I'm sorry."
After shrugging his shoulders, he left a group of little devils and walked towards the adult area, and they could vaguely hear their arguing.
"Look at what you've all done. Are you satisfied now? Please, can't you be more mature?"
"Hey hey, look, look, Emma has turned into Miss Jack of all trades again. No wonder she is the most suitable for her image."
"Don't interrupt, take me seriously, I'm not joking!"
Angela couldn't help but look back, Xia Xia was waving her fists and shouting something. The older children all looked disapproving, but those of the same age listened attentively.
Even though Rupert folded his arms and tilted his head to ignore her words like Ron, his ears were still high.
It seems that my little Xia Xia has the potential of a strong woman. Angela said something mockingly in her heart, resisting the urge to go back and eavesdrop on what the little devils were discussing, and took a few steps to the adults' area. After greeting Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, and Chris Columbus in turn, Angela came to Rowling, who was saying goodbye to Sir Harris.
"It's a pity that I can't stay for too long. It's too old for me." The old sergeant was seventy years old. If it wasn't for his grandson clamoring to come, he would rather read a book quietly at home. .
"It's okay, Sir Harris, I promise to send David back in good condition," Rowling said.
"If this guarantee is not enough, how about adding me?" Angela took over the topic with a smile.
"Oh, I should feel honored when I wear it. After all, not everyone can get the guarantee of Miss Genius." The old Sir looked at the girl and said solemnly.
"Since you said it so solemnly, can you make a promise for me too?" Angela blinked, "Promise that in the next seven movies, the role of Dumbledore will always be yours!"
"Um... can I see this as a means of squeezing old actors?" Sir Harris suddenly asked after thinking for a long time. The seriousness on his face seemed extremely serious, making the two women in front of him almost burst out laughing.
"If you want to complain to the Actors Guild, I have no choice." Angela spread her hands helplessly.
"That depends on the content of the long-term contract that Ainge gave me." The old jazz shrugged with a smile, then said goodbye and left.
"How did you play with the children?" Rowling turned to Angela after sending Sir Harris away.
The girl who was still smiling suddenly dropped her face, and she waved her hand weakly: "Forget it..."
Before he could finish speaking, a familiar voice sounded with a narrow smile: "Angie escaped halfway, she can't handle it."
"Lulu!" Angela rolled her eyes and stretched out her hand to drag the sneaking Pilu into her arms, and pinched her fleshy face fiercely: "Don't think I didn't see the little action you just made to fuel the flames."
"But Angie," Jessica Rowling, who was sneaking over behind Lulu, raised her little hand, "Lulu actually wanted to help you, and I heard her say to Jensen: I want you to be perfunctory. Who knows that the family has asked such a sentence."
"Well..." Angela was stunned for about five or six seconds, then let go of the little guy in her arms: "Perhaps I shouldn't refuse Willie and Ike's request to follow, otherwise you will definitely show off in front of them when you go back. ."
That nonchalant appearance seemed to have never pinched Lulu's face before, but Angela was also quite capable of changing the subject, and Lulu, who had already pouted, suddenly became complacent: "Why not? Oh, poor Willie and Ike are so unfortunate, why would their sister refuse?"
"Hey, your tail is up!" Angela rolled her eyes, she's really a guy who shines with some sunshine, didn't you see the mother and daughter over there snickering
Fortunately, Xia Xia ran over at this time, and seeing her blushing excited look, she knew that "Miss Knowing Everything" had settled those noisy guys.
"Is there any good news, Miss Granger?" Angela asked jokingly.
"Are you going to call me like that in the future?" Xia Xia glared at her with her hands on her hips.
"Don't be nervous, darling," Angela waved her hand, "you said it yourself, you and Hermione are different. Do you really become another if you say a few words to Miss Granger?"
Having said this, she smiled slyly: "Okay, I'll call you Hermione in the future until you get used to it."
"Angie!" Xia Xia whispered angrily, "Obviously, all my efforts are in vain. Then you can laugh at others here, I will chat with them and tell them, Miss genius rejected the proposal."
"Oh, dear, don't be like this, can I apologize?" Angela quickly stopped her, "Tell me, what conditions do those little devils want to let me go - first clarify, something like that The form of taking turns to ask questions is still waived.”
"Don't worry, the final agreement was to invite you to play a song for them," Xia Xia waved her small hand solemnly, "You can choose any instrument, but it has to be played very well and recognized by them. They have long been I want to listen to the talented lady who has quite high attainments in classical music and play music with her own hands.”
"Ha, it's a good idea, and approval can also be called disapproval, right?" Angela pursed her lips and snorted coldly.
"Of course, but I think it should be a good solution for you." Xia Xia said with a smile.
Angela didn't speak, just raised the corner of her mouth to reveal an unfathomable smile.
