Chapter 53: Aunt Rowling

The corner is very ordinary, like most seats in a cafe, nothing special, but the problem is that there is a small stroller next to it, a very old stroller, and a coffee cup on the round table. A small piece of paper.
Angela's heart was lifted. This is not possible. She remembered asking in every cafe, but no one said that she had met the woman she described.
She stood a little hesitantly, thought about it, pretended to be curious about observing the cafe, and walked slowly. After a few steps, she came to the round table in the corner and looked at the stroller. There were no children in it. Also, it is impossible for a mother to leave her child and walk alone.
The coffee cup on the table is almost bottoming out, and the small pieces of paper pressed under the cup are densely covered with words. Angela's eyes have always been good, so even if the letters are small, she doesn't need to pick them up to see clearly. Then the word Hogwarts entered her eyes the next second.
The little girl was dizzy and meowing. The old lady almost visited the cafes in the old city. She almost planned to go to the new city to find it again, but it was in the first cafe that she visited at that time. Which idiot says that there is no such person? !!
Of course, these are left behind for the time being, and the most important thing now is to see what the original version of "Harry Potter" looked like. Angela took the polite paper out of the cup and read it carefully. . As before, she first became interested in novels after watching a movie. Of course, like most people, she likes this set of books very much, otherwise she won't want to see Magic Mom now.
However, this original version of "Harry Potter" is much less than the version she has "seen", at least Hagrid is not a giant, and Hogwarts has only three colleges. The Golden Triangle is even, but Ron's two twin brothers haven't appeared yet. From some separately written snippets, it seems that Aunt Rowling is conceiving Quidditch. As the most interesting idea in the whole novel, I have to say that the magic mother is really very idea.
As Angela looked out at the paper in her hand, a sudden cough came from her ear: "This ... miss, can you give me back my things?"
The little girl woke up and looked around, a lady who couldn't see her age was holding her baby girl a few months old and was watching her with a little vigilance.
"You ... Hello, ma'am." Angela suddenly felt at a loss as if she was caught while stealing. Although the woman in front of her looked young, she was very nervous. It looked like it was still standing there, but it gave a crumbling feeling.
The little girl wasn't sure if it was Auntie Rowling. After all, it had been many years since the last time I saw her picture, and it wasn't every day. Besides, at that time, she had become famous, she was radiant, and there was no poverty.
"Is this ... Is this your ... work?" Angela lifted up the paper and asked carefully.
Perhaps the action was too large, and the woman involuntarily squeezed her fists, and a flash of anxiety flashed in her eyes. Angela, aware of this, was busy in slow motion and pressed all the pieces of paper neatly under the coffee cup.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief, put her child into the stroller, and hurried forward to sort out those pieces of paper. Perhaps the little girl's movement just won her a good impression, and she looked up and smiled at Angela while finishing.
A few seconds later, the woman was sure that what she had written was finally relieved, and she smiled again at the little girl: "Sorry, I'm too nervous. This happened before, but what happened was not easy to write. Was lost. "
"It doesn't matter, I like to write things too, I can understand." Angela responded with a smile, seeing that the other party seemed to want to pack and leave, she said again and again: "Well, may I please read it?"
The woman froze and pointed at the pieces of paper in her hand: "Do you mean ... this?"
"Yes, I think it's interesting," Angela said from her heart. "Can you?"
Seeing the other party was a little bit distressed, the little girl who understood what was going on was busy and said, "I won't delay you for too long. As compensation, how about I ask you for a cup of coffee?"
The woman was a little emotional, but she looked at the little girl at the age of eleven or two, and hesitated. Fortunately, Kate's voice came over: "Angie, where are you?"
The little girl looked back at her desk and said, "I'm here, Kate, will you come over?"
Kate turned around and saw Angela, came over immediately: "I remember I said, don't run around."
"Well, Kate," Angela hurriedly wanted to change the subject, pointing at the young woman around her, "this is ..."
She was stuck before she finished speaking. Since then, she has never asked the other party ’s name. Although she is 80% sure that she is Auntie Rowling, she does n’t want others to have any bad associations. Once in place, the girl fortunately relieved her and reached out to Kate: "Hello, my name is Joanne Catherine Rowling."
"Hello, I'm Kate Beckinsale." Kate was a bit unclear, but still shook hands with Rowling.
"By the way, I'm Angela Mason." The little guy also quickly shook hands with Rowling, but unfortunately couldn't take the camera out and take a picture. It will definitely be very collectable and memorable after 10 years.
"That's it, Kate," Angie explained to Kate. "I didn't mean to see the novel that Ms. Rowling was writing. I love this story, so I want to buy her a cup of coffee so that I can read her story. . "
While talking, she stared hard at Kate with sparkling eyes and launched an emotional offensive. Although Kate didn't understand what novel she saw, she was so excited, but she followed her words: "Of course it is OK." Then she looked at the future magic mother "Can you, Ms. Rowling, this little guy has always liked reading."
Rowling naturally wouldn't refuse. The three of them sat down in the corner. Kate then called the waiter and brought her and Angela's order. Then he asked for a cup of coffee and a small cake for Rowling. Although Rowling quit, she looked at Angela, who had begun reading, and accepted it.
The next half hour or so was spent in the little guy's reading. At first Kate also talked to Rowling, and after reading a few pages of paper that the little girl handed over after reading, she was immediately attracted. Stayed and read along. Luo Lin did not continue to write while taking advantage of this gap. In addition to looking after her sleeping daughter, she has been stirring coffee with a little anxiety. After all, this is the first time her work has been read to a stranger.
Finally, Angela finished reading all the chapters of Rowling at this stage, raised her head and said endlessly, "Are there any?" This is not a pretense. This first edition of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is related to the previous life. I have seen too many differences. Of course, the overall structure is the same, but there are many wonderful ideas. Although some places are not well written, they are not harmful.
"I'm-sorry, Angela, I haven't thought about everything below, even the previous ones are still-there are still imperfections, and I need to modify them." Rowling seemed to be a little excited.
"It's a pity." Angela said with regret, believing that every time Aunt Rowling revises, the novel will approach the final version once, and then it will lack a lot of freshness.
"I believe if it can be published, it will definitely cause a sensation. This is a wonderful novel. You can see from the Quidditch setting that you are very attentive, Ms. Rowling, you are great." Angela sincerely Said that Kate, who had just finished reading the story, nodded somewhat, echoing the little girl's words: "Yes, Rowling, it's really good."
Rowling silently for a moment, suddenly lowered her head, and then kept her shoulders , seeing that she was struggling to make herself cry, and the stunned Angela and Kate were holding each other right and left Got her.
"I'm okay, don't worry, I'm okay." Rowling lowered her head and held their hands, and whispered, raising her head only a short while later, her face already covered with tears.
After receiving the paper towel that Angela handed in and wiped her eyes, Rowling finally recovered her calmness, and she smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, I'm rude."
"Nothing, I think you must have a lot of sadness. If you don't mind, you can tell us, we won't say it." Angela held Aunt Rowling's hand involuntarily.
Rowling smiled bitterly, and opened the box after a moment of silence. This opening was like a faucet that couldn't be shut off. She talked a lot, she talked a lot, mostly about her husband, if not that Asshole, she wo n’t stay in a small dark apartment right now, and she has to come to the cafe for heating. Her daughter seemed to know that her mother had a rare vent once, so she slept soundly without messing up.
Although these things were already known online by Angela in her previous life, at this moment I heard Aunt Rowling say it, and don't just turn it over, she could not help but sympathize with her, and she was ashamed at the same time, okay There was no whim to plagiarize "Harry Potter", otherwise how dare to face Rowling now.
"Everything will be fine, Ms. Rowling, please believe in yourself." Angela comforted. "My grandfather often told me that God closes a door for you, and he will open a window for you, so please stick to it. , Even for your daughter. "
"Thank you, Angela," Rowling held her hand, as if it had just been vented, and her face looked much better.
"Do you know," she said softly, "I have almost lost my courage to survive these days. The reason why I am still supporting it is entirely because of my daughter. Until today, I met you, Angela, and I Knowing that God has never abandoned me, thank you, like your name, you are my angel. "
The little girl's face was red and her heart was full of emotions. At this moment, Kate suddenly exclaimed: "Oops, the plane!"
Angela was taken aback, looking at her watch, hell, it was almost 6 o'clock, and she started to hurriedly pack up, and said to Rowling: "I'm sorry, Ms. Rowling, we have to go, but before that, please You leave your address to me. "
Saying she took a small piece of paper, turned it over and handed it to Rowling: "Time is too late, so just write on it. My parents have a few rescue fund friends. I think they may have a way to temporarily Help you solve your current predicament. "
Rowling didn't play up her feelings either. She wrote down her address and gave it to Angela. She thanked her again and thanked the little girl who had packed her things. She hugged her and said, "I now Gone, but promise me, Aunt Rowling, if you are suffering, you must go to a psychiatrist. Do n’t do stupid things. I'm waiting for your novel to be published. "
"Well, I know." Rowling laughed.
"I'm gone, and I'll write to you!" Angela waved her hand, and Kate, who had settled the bill, went out quickly. 2k novel reading network
