Hollywood Secret Garden

The corner is very ordinary, like most seats in the cafe, nothing special, but the problem is that there is a small stroller next to it, a very old stroller, and there is a coffee cup on the round table. Small pieces of paper.

Angela's heart was raised at once, this is unlikely, she remembered asking in every cafe, but no one said that she had seen the woman she described.

She stood up hesitantly, thought for a while, pretended to be curious about observing the cafe, and walked over slowly. After a few steps, she came to the round table in the corner and looked at the stroller. There was no child in it. , also, it is impossible for a mother to leave her child and walk alone.

The coffee cup on the table was almost bottomed out, and the small pieces of paper under the cup were densely written on. Angela's eyes were always good, so even though the letters were small, she didn't need to pick them up to read them clearly. Then the word Hogwarts entered her eyes the next second.

The little girl was a little dizzy, meow, my mother almost visited all the cafes in the old city, and almost planned to go to the new city to look for it again, but it was actually in the first cafe I visited at the time. Which idiot said that there is no such person? !

Of course, put these aside for the time being, the most important thing now is to see what the original version of "Harry Potter" is like, Angela unceremoniously pulled out these small pieces of paper from under the cup, and read them carefully .As before, she first became interested in the novel after watching the movie. Of course, like most people, she likes this book very much, otherwise she would not 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 only has three houses, the golden triangle is all there, but Ron's two twin brothers haven't appeared yet. Judging from some separately written fragments, it seems that Aunt Rowling is conceiving Quidditch. As the most interesting idea in the whole novel, I have to say that the magical mother is really very thoughtful.

Just as Angela was looking at the piece of paper in her hand, a dry cough suddenly came from her ear: "Miss... can you give me back my things?"

The little girl woke up with a start, and hurriedly looked around. A lady of unknown age was holding a baby girl who was a few months old and was looking at her with a little vigilance.

"You... hello, ma'am." Angela suddenly felt a little at a loss, like being caught while stealing. Although the woman in front of her looked very young, there was a haggard look on her brows. The appearance, although still standing there, gave people a feeling of crumbling.

The little girl wasn't sure if it was Aunt Rowling. After all, it had been many years since I saw her photo last time, and she didn't see it every day. Besides, at that time, she was successful and radiant, and she didn't look like she was poor.

"Is this...is this your...work?" Angela raised the piece of paper in her hand and asked carefully.

Perhaps it was too much movement, the woman involuntarily clenched her fist, and a trace of anxiety flashed in her eyes. Angela, who noticed this, hurriedly slowed down, neatly stacked all the pieces of paper, and pressed them under the coffee cup again.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief. After putting her child in the stroller, she hurried forward to sort out the pieces of paper. Perhaps the little girl's actions just now won her a little favor. She looked up and smiled at Angela while sorting out.

A few seconds later, the woman was sure that all the things she had written were there, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled again at the little girl: "I'm sorry, I was too nervous, this kind of thing happened before, but the things I wrote with great difficulty got lost."

"It's okay, I also like to write, I can understand." Angela responded with a smile. Seeing that the other party seemed to want to pack up and leave, she hurriedly said, "Well, may I finish reading it?"

The woman was stunned, and pointed to the pieces of paper in her hand: "You mean... this?"

"Yes, I find it very interesting," Angela said from the bottom of her heart, "Is it okay?"

Seeing that the other party was a little embarrassed, the little girl who understood what was going on quickly said, "I won't waste your time for too long. As compensation, how about I buy you a cup of coffee?"

The woman was a little moved, but seeing that the little girl was only eleven or twelve years old, she was a little hesitant. Fortunately, Kate's voice came over at this time: "Angie, where are you?"

The little girl hurriedly turned her head to look at her desk, and said, "I'm here, Kate, come here, please."

Kate also saw Angela when she turned her head, and immediately walked over: "I remember I said, don't run around."

"Okay, Kate," Angela hurriedly wanted to change the subject, pointing to the young woman beside her and said, "This is..."

She got stuck before she finished speaking. Since just now, she hasn't asked the other party's name. Although she is 80% sure that it is Aunt Rowling, she doesn't want others to have any bad associations, so she was stunned for a while. Luckily, the woman helped her out and reached out to Kate: "Hi, I'm Joanne Catherine Rowling."

"Hello, I'm Kate Beckinsale." Kate was a little confused, but she shook hands with Rowling.

"By the way, I'm Angela Mason." The little guy also quickly shook hands with Rowling, but unfortunately he couldn't take out the camera to take a picture. Ten years later, it will definitely be very collectible and commemorative.

"Well, Kate," Angie explained for Kate, "I accidentally saw the novel that Ms. Rowling was writing. I like this story very much, so I want to buy her a cup of coffee so that I can finish reading her story." .”

While talking, she stared at Kate with her bright eyes and launched an emotional offensive. Although Kate didn't understand what novel she saw and was so excited, she still followed her words and said, "Of course it's okay." Then she looked at the future magic mother : "Can you, Ms. Rowling, this little guy has always liked reading."

Rowling naturally wouldn't refuse, and the three of them sat down in the corner. Kate then called the waiter and brought over what she and Angela had ordered, and then ordered a cup of coffee and a small cake for Rowling. Although Rowling declined, but after looking at Angela who had already started reading, she accepted it.

The next half an hour was spent in the little guy’s reading. Kate chatted with Rowling at first, and after reading a few pages of the paper that the little girl handed over after reading it, she was also attracted Stop, and read together.Rowling did not take advantage of this gap to continue writing. Apart from looking after her sleeping daughter, she kept stirring the coffee with a little anxiety. After all, this was the first time her work was read to a stranger.

Finally, Angela finished reading all the chapters of Rowling at this stage, raised her head and said, "Is there any more?" There are too many differences in the ones I have read. Of course, the overall structure is the same, but there are many wonderful ideas. Although some places are not well written, they are harmless.

"I'm—sorry, Angela, I haven't thought through the following. Even the first ones are—there are still things that are not perfect, and I still need to make revisions." Rowling seemed a little excited.

"What a pity." Angela said regretfully. I believe that every time Aunt Rowling revises, the novel will be closer to the final version, which would lack a lot of novelty.

"I believe that if it can be published, it will definitely cause a sensation. This is a wonderful novel. From the setting of Quidditch, it can be seen that you put your heart into it. Ms. Rowling, you are great." Angela sincerely said, Kate, who had just finished reading the story, also nodded a little bit, echoing the little girl's words: "Yes, Rowling, it's really good."

Rowling was silent for a moment, then suddenly lowered her head, and then her shoulders kept twitching. It could be seen that she was trying her best not to cry out. The stunned Angela and Kate hurriedly supported her. she.

"I'm fine, don't worry, I'm fine." Rowling lowered her head and held the hands of the two, whispering, she raised her head after a while, her face was covered with tears.

After taking the tissue from Angela and wiping her eyes, Rowling finally regained her composure. She smiled softly: "I'm sorry, I was rude."

"It's nothing, I think you must have a lot of sad things, if you don't mind, you can tell us, we won't say it." Angela couldn't help holding Aunt Rowling's hand.

Rowling smiled wryly, and after a moment of silence, she opened the chatterbox. The beginning was like a faucet that couldn't be turned off, and it kept running. She talked a lot, mostly about her jerk husband, if it wasn't for that Asshole, she wouldn't be staying in a small dark apartment now, and she would come to the cafe for heating. Her daughter seemed to know that her mother had a rare vent, so she slept soundly and didn't make trouble.

Although Angela already knew about these things on the Internet in her previous life, but now she heard Aunt Rowling say it with her own ears. He didn't plagiarize "Harry Potter" on a whim, otherwise how dare he face Rowling now.

"Everything will be fine, Ms. Rowling, please believe in yourself." Angela comforted, "My grandpa often told me that when God closes a door for you, he will open a window for you, so please keep going." , even for your daughter."

"Thank you, Angela," Rowling held her hand, as if because of venting just now, her complexion improved a lot.

"You know," she said softly, "I have almost lost the courage to survive these few days. The reason why I am still holding on is entirely because of my daughter. Until today, I met you, Angela, and I Knowing that God has not abandoned me, thank you, like your name, you are my angel."

The little girl blushed, and her heart was full of mixed feelings. At this moment, Kate suddenly exclaimed: "Oops, the plane!"

Angela was startled, she looked at her watch, damn it, it was almost 6 o'clock, she hurriedly packed up her things, and at the same time said to Rowling: "I'm sorry, Ms. Rowling, we have to go, but before that, please You leave me your address."

As she spoke, she took a small piece of paper, turned it over and handed it to Rowling: "There is not enough time, so I will write it on this, my parents have a few friends from the rescue fund, I think they may have a way to temporarily Let me help you solve your current predicament."

Rowling was not pretentious either. She wrote down her address in a few strokes and handed it to Angela. She thanked her gratefully again. The little girl who had packed up her things hugged her and said as if exhorting: "I am now Let's go, but promise me, Aunt Rowling, if you suffer from psychological pain, you must go to a psychiatrist, don't do anything stupid, I'm still waiting for your novel to be published."

"Okay, I see." Rowling laughed.

"I'm leaving, I'll write to you!" Angela waved her hand, and quickly went out with Kate who had settled the bill.
