Hogwarts and the Holy Grail War

"Now that we have finished talking about the more important things, let's go out first. Miss Shanans needs a quiet environment to rest now. And you, Mr. Ethan, you have to pay the price for your mistakes first."

Dumbledore hid his eyes behind the reflection of the half-moon lenses, making it difficult for Ethan to guess his emotions at the moment.

"As the first step of your punishment, you have to be Miss Shannans's companion here. You can only return to Hogwarts after she wakes up and fully recovers. Your further punishment will be discussed after you return to Hogwarts. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I will follow Professor Dumbledore's arrangements." Ethan nodded hurriedly.

Dumbledore looked at the other professors through the lenses. He had already made a preliminary judgment on the matter, but now was not the time to speak it out.

"Well, since we are here at St. Mungo's, let's go check on the other Miss Shannans. Remember to go to the sixth floor and buy some gifts first. You can't go to visit a patient empty-handed."

Ethan secretly laughed in his heart when he heard this.

I wonder if the professors would be scared if they saw that Ariel had woken up from her coma?

Anyway, this is not something I need to worry about, so I should just take care of Alanna first.

The group left the bed in an orderly manner, and Ethan escorted the professors to the door of the ward. Professor Garrick stopped at the end of the team, turned around and blocked Ethan against the wall at the door with his hands.

"Okay, little Ethan. If you hadn't skipped school this time, we wouldn't know how many times you have violated school rules in private." Professor Garrick looked at Ethan dimly, "What are you thinking? Or are you thinking nothing?"

"Sister, I don't understand what you mean." Ethan blinked, looking confused.

"What else do you mean? Miss Volley has already told us everything that happened between you and her in the Forbidden Forest!" Professor Garrick pointed his finger at Ethan's forehead and said unhappily, "Breaking into the Forbidden Forest at night, skipping school without permission... How much else have you hidden from us?"

No, Sister Mirabell, how come these words become unacceptable when they come out of your mouth?

Ethan rubbed his forehead, a row of black lines appeared on his temples: "You went to find Cassandra? Why?"

"Of course I'm looking for you!"

"How did you find Cassandra?"

"Don't forget your clothes!" Professor Garrick glared at Ethan. "After all, there are Hogwarts' things in there, so there are still traces to follow."

"You put positioning marks on my clothes? When did it happen?" Ethan looked alert.

Wow, the Sword of Ninja Love, right?

I have to go back and clean out all my luggage.

"...Alas," Professor Garrick's expression suddenly became gloomy for some reason, and he sighed and said:

"You must be more careful in the future. If you have any problems, please discuss them with us. Don't let those who care about you worry about you anymore."

"I know, sister, why are you more annoying than my mom?" Ethan pushed Professor Garrick out of the ward and complained casually.

"Who is your mother?" Professor Garrick's forehead was bulging with blue veins. He turned around and glared at Ethan, "Am I that old?"

"No, in my heart, sister will always be 24 years old."

"What did you say?!" The veins on Professor Garrick's forehead bulged even more. "Sister, I'm not even 24 yet!"

"Ah, this..." Ethan knew he had said something wrong, so he shrank his head and pretended not to hear anything, then slammed the door of the ward.

The girl was still lying on the bed, sleeping quietly. Ethan smiled, sat down in the armchair next to the bed, took out a notebook from his pocket, opened it, and continued to write on the paper with his eyes.

"I say, don't you find it strange that Ethan would actually do something so inappropriate?"

In the shop on the sixth floor, Professor Garrick leaned over to pick out a bouquet of flowers and said hesitantly, "This... I don't think he would do this. Think about it, he's definitely not pretending to be like that..."

"Listen to this kid's nonsense!" Snape snorted coldly, crossing his arms, "He is definitely hiding something from us."

Snape just habitually questioned Ethan's words, but he didn't expect Professor Figo to agree with his opinion:

"You're right, Severus. I also feel that there is something wrong with what Ethan said. He must be hiding something from us."

After recovering from his initial rage, Professor Figo began to reflect on Ethan's explanation and found that it was indeed full of loopholes.

If it was only related to ancient magic, Ethan would not have concealed it to such an extent. He would at least give a hint to smooth things over for him.

If he was hiding something from himself, then there must be something else he didn't want them to know...

Maybe it has something to do with Miss Shanansi. He has been trying to get Miss Shanansi out. There must be something fishy going on here!

"Albus," Professor McGonagall did not express her opinion directly, but looked at Dumbledore, "Did you find anything too?"

Dumbledore picked up a box of nougat, thought about it and put it back, then picked up a basket of fruit and turned to look at Professor McGonagall:

"Don't forget, Minerva, the purpose of our trip is just to find Mr. Ethan who is truant from school. Now that we have found him, and nothing serious has happened to the two students, that is actually enough for us professors."

"As for those insignificant details, I think we don't need to be too persistent in digging into them. Let's just handle this matter based on what Mr. Ethan said. Since he said that, there's no need for us to refuse his kindness."

"Okay, this fruit basket should be enough. Mirabelle, have you picked out the bouquet?"

In other words, the professors actually realized that something was wrong with Ethan, but they all chose not to expose his lies.

Back to the present, Ethan recounted in detail what happened after Alana fell into a coma, except for Xiao Mo's confession before he disappeared.

I really don't dare to say this now, otherwise I will definitely be beaten by the angry young lady in various postures.

Alanna: You two took advantage of my unconsciousness and started to run away, didn't you? (pulling a knife)

It's better to keep it secret for a while, and then find an opportunity to tell her everything after the storm has passed.

"Xiao Mo has left too..." Alanna was a little sad. She had been spending a lot of time with Xiao Mo these past two days, so she was a little reluctant to let her go. "I haven't said goodbye to her properly yet."

"Grandma once said that separation is for a better meeting next time. I have a feeling that we will meet her again."

Ethan raised his index finger to the sky with a frivolous look on his face, muttering to himself:

In fact, the meeting is an easy issue to resolve. The only thing I’m worried about is whether you two will fight at that time.

But women fighting and stuff... oh wow, it's exciting just thinking about it.

"what are you thinking?"

"Nothing." Ethan wiped the tears from the corners of his mouth and said seriously:

"By the way, your sister's treatment was also very successful. She woke up last night, but she is still a little weak and can't get out of bed. Otherwise, she would have come to see you a long time ago."

The girl's eyes quickly filled with joy: "Really? My sister is fine now?"

"Of course, the curse has been completely removed. She is now as pure as you. After all, it is something you entrusted to me. How can I not do it perfectly?"

"That's great..." Alanna breathed a sigh of relief, then took Ethan's hand with a smile:

"Well, how can I thank you, the great hero who saved my sisters?"

"You are being too polite. Considering our relationship, this little thing is not worth mentioning..."

Before she finished her words, Alanna suddenly pulled Ethan's hand behind her, dragged him in front of her, and blocked Ethan's unromantic mouth with her lips.

Alanna

Chapter 241 Three sentences made all the professors want to kill me

For a moment, the lips parted.

Ethan blinked blankly, still not recovering from the sneak attack.

Did I get molested by a girl?

Someone come here, there is a female hooligan here!

Alanna blushed and panted slightly, with a sly smile of triumph in her eyes:

"I think this is a good way to express gratitude. What do you think?"

Ethan is still too slow in this regard. My hint just now was so obvious, but he is still avoiding the question. I don't know if he did it on purpose or if he is really a complete blockhead.

So it’s better to take the initiative in this regard.

"I have no objection..." Ethan licked his lips belatedly, "I just didn't expect my first kiss would taste like a roasted chicken leg."

"What, you're not satisfied?"

"No, I like it very much." Ethan shook his head quickly, "I am fascinated by this taste. I can't wait to try it a few more times."

"That's more like it." Alana hummed in satisfaction, "So what do you think of the... kiss just now?"

"I... can I say that I'm not ready yet?" Ethan blinked. "It's mainly because you did it too suddenly. It really caught me off guard."

"If I have to wait for you to bring it up, then how long should I wait?" Alana glanced at Ethan resentfully, "You! Do you know what I just said means? At this moment, I will not refuse any request you make to me, not just what happened just now..."

Alanna leaned over to Ethan's ear and whispered something, then blushed and murmured softly:

"You can do this even if you want to."

Ethan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "What are you thinking? You are only 14 years old, and I am only 15, we are still children. How could I do this to you?"

"I'm not a child anymore!" Alanna angrily grabbed Ethan's hand and reached into her hospital gown: "If you don't believe me, try it!"

"No, no, no, stop it." Ethan stopped Alanna's free behavior in time, pulled back his hand and wiped the cold sweat:

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I take back what I said. You are not a child anymore. But we are not yet adults, so I think it is better to wait for this matter."

It was indeed too beastly to do such a thing to a 14-year-old girl. At least there should be a thin layer of paper between himself and the real copper alchemist.

"Oh, okay..." Alanna pouted, realizing that she was a little too impatient.

"...Then kissing is always okay, right?"

The girl blinked and looked at Ethan with anticipation:

"This was my first time, and I'm not very experienced yet. Do you want us to do it a few more times?"

Ethan: ???

My goodness, you are addicted to this, right?

"Alanna, can you please be more careful?" Ethan pressed Alanna's shoulders and advised earnestly, "Do you know what it means to have a sinister heart? I haven't said anything yet, but you've offered yourself up to me. Aren't you afraid that I'll eat you up and run away?"

"I'm not afraid," Alana tilted her head with a matter-of-fact expression, "I believe you won't leave me alone. And you're my boyfriend, who else can I kiss if I don't let you?"

"..."

Ethan found with some sadness that he couldn't think of any basis to refute her words.

It's over. She has me completely under her control now.

But Ethan was not the kind of person who would be controlled by others, even his girlfriend. In his inexplicable desire to win, he came up with a perfect way to get back on track.

So, in the girl's half-surprised, half-excited gaze, Ethan took the initiative to hug her into his arms and kissed her again.

(Note: In order to avoid adverse effects on underage readers, after a friendly reminder from the reviewer and a chapter rejection, the author came to his senses and changed his ways. The detailed action description of about 500 words has been deleted.)

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Ethan panted and smiled with satisfaction:

"This is what couples do. What you did just now was just a child's quarrel."

Woman, this is the price you pay for underestimating me!

"You're a hooligan!" Alanna's face flushed with shame and anger. Then she remembered something and pursed her lips to look at Ethan:

"Hey Ethan, how come you were so skilled just now? Did you do that with other girls behind my back..."

Ethan quickly denied: "No, I'm just gifted..."

"I don't believe it! Don't try to lie to me again!"

Facing the girl's questioning gaze, the unlucky guy who told the truth but no one believed him could only make up a lie with tears in his eyes to excuse himself:

"Actually, I practiced with a pillow in private, thinking that it might make you more comfortable when I come..."

These days, no one believes the truth! The world is going downhill and people are no longer the same as they used to be!

"That's it..."

The girl nodded gently, with the corners of her mouth rising unconsciously.

As long as he hadn't kissed other girls behind her back, it would be fine. After all, it was her first love and first kiss, so she naturally hoped that this had equal meaning to Ethan.

As if she felt sorry for her boyfriend's previous desires that could not be vented, Alanna tugged at Ethan's sleeves again and cautiously probed:

"So...was that enough for you? If you still want...you can continue for a while."

"...Forget it for now." Ethan looked at his free-for-all girlfriend in silence and gently poked her forehead. "We still have a long time to live together. There's no need to rush now."
