Hogwarts and the Holy Grail War

"Yes, that's exactly what I really think." Ethan answered stiffly, "Admittedly, I do have some expectations of Aurors, and maybe I will change my mind in the future. But I really can't let go of the things in Hogwarts now, so..."

"I knew you would say that."

Mad-Eye listened to Ethan's words and suddenly revealed a malicious smile, which made his ferocious face look even uglier. "What if I tell you that these won't affect your studies? They won't make you run back and forth all day like Tony?"

"What do you mean?" Ethan frowned, suddenly feeling something was wrong.

"Do you remember back in September - after the incident in Hogsmeade, you promised the professors that you would train with me during the holidays? I think it's not impossible to use the winter and summer vacations to train you first."

Mad-Eyes blinked like a child: "I have already made concessions for you to this extent, you should have no reason to refuse, right?"

Ethan slapped his forehead and covered the upper half of his face in pain.

Good man, you’re trying to compromise with me again, right?

So those who play tactics have dirty minds... What, I play it too? That's fine.

"But wasn't it to prevent the Salamanders from attacking me while I was on vacation and not at Hogwarts? Now that their ashes have been scattered by me, I don't think this is necessary anymore, right?"

Admittedly, Ethan was indeed looking forward to becoming an Auror, but he couldn't just agree to be one when someone asked him to, as that would make him seem easy to talk to.

Let's fight for at least two more rounds.

"Ethan, this has nothing to do with the reason. You promised the professors about this." Tony patted Ethan's shoulder in a serious manner, looking gloating. "As a man, you should keep your word. You don't want your girlfriend to look down on you because of this, right?"

"Don't give me that!" Ethan slapped Tony's hand away and said unhappily, "Don't try to use Alanna to pressure me. She obviously doesn't want me to be an Auror, okay?"

"Let's not talk about whether he can be an Auror or not. I think it would be better for Ethan to receive training." Alanna said suddenly.

"Alanna?!" Ethan looked at the girl who suddenly stabbed him in the back at the critical moment with some disbelief, with the words "You plotted against me!" written all over his face.

"After all, I always feel that you will be involved in all kinds of troubles in the future, Ethan, so it is better to improve your strength as much as possible." The girl glanced at Ethan with some anticipation and whispered:

"And if you can stay in England during the summer vacation, I can see you often..."

So the last sentence is your real thought?

"I……"

Ethan held his temple with a headache, not knowing what expression to put on. Now he didn't know whether he should be angry or not, and who to be angry at.

"Look, since your girlfriend has said so, then it's settled." Tony continued to smile maliciously, stood up and punched Ethan on the shoulder, "I'll pick you up at King's Cross Station when the holiday comes, don't run away."

Mad-Eye glanced at Alanna casually and said, "Our training place shouldn't be open to the public, but as long as you give us a heads up in advance, you can still come in."

"Then we'll leave first and not disturb your time alone." Tony gestured:

"We withdraw."

Having successfully recruited a new recruit, the three of them looked very happy, and they walked out of the ward with almost no recognition of their relatives.

The door of the ward closed tightly again. Alanna felt Ethan's death gaze and shrank back to the wall with a guilty conscience, avoiding Ethan's sight.

"Ethan, please talk nicely...don't make such a scary expression..."

Ethan reached out and lifted the girl from the corner into his arms, ravaging the girl's delicate face with ease, and said viciously:

"Okay, you are bold now, aren't you? How can you sell out your boyfriend like this? Just wait and see how I deal with you!"

"Oh, oh, oh, Ethan, I know I was wrong, but you just shook me... I won't dare to do it again next time... Ah, no! Not there..."

Outside the door, Mad-Eye limped in front of the two of them and suddenly said:

"I really like this little guy."

"Really? I said I didn't make a mistake in choosing him. You will definitely like old Moody very much." Tony said with a grin.

"Yes, both his personality and his way of doing things are very much to my liking." Mad-Eye glared at Tony with his evil eye, "And he's very frank and says what he thinks. He's not like that guy who talks a lot all day long. Compared to him, Ethan is much better."

Tony said stubbornly, "That's just my rhetoric... Talking like this can give people a frivolous impression, so that the enemy can let down their guard. How can such a thing that facilitates action be called glib talk..."

Sarah was still a little hesitant: "Are you really not going to tell him about the Holy Grail War? Even though he doesn't know about it, he saved the lives of the entire town after all. He should know what he did."

"No, he's still just a child. There are still a lot of things involved here, which is a bit too dangerous for him." Mad-Eye shook his head. "Like he said, it won't be too late to tell him these things when he really intends to become an Auror."

"I think that day will not come too late. Although he is so self-deprecating and says that he is not a good person, he is indeed a guy with a strong sense of justice. If he really encounters any injustice, he will definitely be the first to rush forward."

Tony added confidently, "Don't forget why he got involved with the Rozier family? He did something that I didn't dare to do back then, so he definitely won't sit idly by when it comes to things that are against the will of heaven and earth."

Then he looked at Mad-Eye tentatively and said, "But old Moody, I have to tell you in advance. I'm sure you've figured it out this time. Ethan is not someone who follows the rules. He is a bit rebellious and off-line in his bones. If you really start training him, I'm afraid his way of doing things may be...something you can't accept..."

"What's the big deal?" Mad-Eyes tapped the ground with his cane. "I survived all the trouble you caused, so why should I be afraid of a 15-year-old kid like him? Besides, he looks much more sensible than you. Even if he might cause some trouble, can he make as much trouble as you?"

"Don't judge a person by his appearance. Some people may look honest, but they are actually full of evil intentions..." Tony muttered softly, "I wasn't so arrogant as to challenge a whole group of dark wizards alone. I just wanted to pick on a few solitary ones... He dares to do such a thing now. It's hard to say whether he will cause a bigger disturbance in the future."

"Then just make an example of you to scare the monkeys so that he won't dare to do anything wrong." Mad-Eyes said unhappily.

"Old Moody, you have to be conscientious in what you do. I am a law-abiding citizen now, you can't accuse me of anything." Tony said with a bitter face, "No matter what, I am still the captain of the team now. How can I hold my head up in front of those teammates in the future if you do this? I don't care about my face, do I?"

"Then you should stop being the captain." Mad-Eyes rolled his eyes at him. "It just so happens that I heard from Scrimgeour that he recently intends to reform the Auror's operational organization, changing the original action team of more than ten people into an action team of a few people. Maybe you, a troublemaker, will become the first experimental subject of the reform."

"An action team?" Sarah nodded. "I know something about this, too. I think Scrimgeour learned it from the Muggles. It's called the Three-Three System or something..."

"Whatever it is called, it is always a good thing to make changes. The current style of the Ministry of Magic... Alas, it is pedantic and bloated. Especially in this troubled time, Voldemort, who has been hiding for a long time, has shown signs of activity, the goblins are also not honest, and the Holy Grail War has emerged again... If we still abide by the old dogma from several centuries ago, something will definitely go wrong!"

Mad-Eye sighed, and then muttered to himself:

"This is a ritual that disappeared centuries ago, but it has reappeared now... This is definitely not a good sign. We must pay extra attention..."

In the ward.

Ethan withdrew his hands contentedly and let go of the girl in his arms. Alana blushed and glared at him, then sat back on the bed panting and tidied her messy clothes.

If you have anything to say, just talk it out nicely. Why would you just start tickling someone's armpits and soles of their feet without saying anything?

How could I fall for such a bad guy who likes to bully others! (grievance.jpg)

"Okay, it's getting late." Ethan coughed twice and stood up from the chair. "I'll go take care of your sister, and then go to the information desk to ask if you two sisters can be moved to the same ward. Anyway, your sister has woken up now, and it would be a shame if she continues to stay in the Sen Bakar ward and disturbs other patients."

In the past two days, Ariel often walked back and forth in the ward with his support to do rehabilitation training. Those patients who could only lie in bed and could not move independently were very anxious when seeing this. They were almost going to have problems with their condition. It was really not a good thing for them to continue staying there.

On the other hand, there are only two beds in this ward, and the two sisters live together, so they don't have to worry about disturbing others no matter how noisy they are.

However, the only inconvenience is that they may not have the space to be affectionate with each other in the future. They can't have a wave of "sister-in-law abuse", right?

"Wait a minute." Alana softly held Ethan's hand. Ethan's punishment just now made her feel a little numb and she had no strength at all. "If my sister moves here, where will you live?"

Ethan slept on the empty bed last night. If his sister moved in, it would mean that Ethan would have no place to sleep.

Qiudou Madai, wouldn't it be legitimate for Ethan to share a bed with her...

"Me? It's time for me to go back." Ethan thought for a moment and smiled helplessly, "The professors are still waiting for me to go back to Hogwarts to receive the punishment, and I can't let them wait too long. But don't worry, the professors won't make it too difficult for me. This matter is just a formality at most. I will come back to you after everything is settled."

"Oh, is that so... Then don't rush to go, come here first." Alanna also realized that this might be their last chance to be alone, and with a weak hand she pulled Ethan back to her side. She turned over and sat on him, and once again offered her love to him in his helpless and doting eyes.

The following texts are all weakened versions. For the full version, please see the reader group file... What, I don’t have a reader group? That’s fine. (Laugh))

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Alanna panted and lay softly in Ethan's arms with a look of satisfaction on her face.

"Ethan?" the girl suddenly called out.

Ethan came back to his senses from his trance and gently stroked the girl’s hair: “Well, what’s wrong?”

"Nothing, just calling you, is that okay?"

"Okay, okay, of course. You can yell as many times as you want, and you can yell at me however you want."

"Hehe..." The girl smiled innocently, very happy about her boyfriend's unconditional indulgence.

The kiss yesterday may have turned on the taboo switch, and since then, the two of them have become more and more inseparable. Like any newly married couple in the world, they wish they could stick together 24 hours a day.

Although they had been together almost all day before, now that they thought about it, they could even be considered an old married couple. But some things are like paper on windows, if you don't break it, you can still control it, but once you break it, your eyes will no longer obey you.

"Look at you, why were you like a piece of wood before? No matter how much I flirted with you, you never responded. Now I don't feel safe at all." The girl drew circles on his chest with her fingers resentfully and said coquettishly.

"I didn't dare to do that before. You looked worried at that time, so I didn't dare to respond rashly. And there were also some personal reasons for me... But it's different now. I'm your boyfriend. I can give you as much security as you want."

Ethan hugged the girl tightly, and the girl lay comfortably on his shoulder, quietly feeling his heartbeat.

(This is the end of the weakened version.)

Boom——

It seemed like something had fallen to the ground, and the dull sound it made entered their ears. The two stopped lingering and turned their heads to look at the place where the sound came from.

Ariel, wearing a hospital gown, was standing blankly at the door, looking in disbelief at the two people hugging each other. She was holding a tilted plate in her hand, and the fruits in it had fallen to the ground.

Chapter 245: I got excited when I heard my girlfriend urging me to start a harem

Ariel stood at the door of the ward in a daze, looking at the two people whose faces still had a slight blush, and suddenly felt dizzy.

Who could tell her what this strange scene was all about?

Why would a man who likes me and whom I like also get together with my most important sister? And it seems that her sister is more proactive?!

Why did it turn out like this? I had someone I liked for the first time, and my sister had a boyfriend who could support her. These two happy things happened together, which brought me even more happiness. I should have had a happy time like a dream... But why did it turn out like this?

"Sister?!" The girl in his arms screamed and quickly moved away from Ethan. Like a third party caught having an affair, she straightened her messy clothes and looked at her sister's increasingly dark face with some horror.

She knew her sister well. Although her sister was usually a little fierce, that didn't mean she was angry. Only when her face showed no expression and looked very calm did it mean that she was really angry.

Just like it is now.

Ariel's bloodless lips kept trembling. She ignored her sister's shouts and fixed her red eyes on Ethan, who was still lying on the bed at a loss.

It was all this man's fault. He must have deliberately seduced Alanna! If, as Alanna said, he helped Alanna out and that's why Alanna fell in love with him, then it was even more certain that this bastard came prepared.

After all, Alanna was not like her, having dealt with people in society. She was just a princess in an ivory tower, without any scheming. If someone helped her when she needed help the most, she would definitely fall for him with her unguarded character!

Ethan, Ethan, I didn’t see it before, but I didn’t expect you to be so calculating!

I was so ashamed that I once liked him. I was so blind!

The plate in her hand fell to the ground with a bang and shattered into pieces as her grip loosened. Ariel dragged her disabled body and stumbled to the deepest part of the ward. She tremblingly picked up the coat rack by the window and smashed it towards Ethan.

"You beast! How dare you do this to Alanna!"

Ariel cried helplessly and feebly:

"Alanna is only 14 years old! How could you...how could you do that to her?"

Ethan grabbed the sword with his bare hands and caught the clothes hanger that Ariel threw down. He exchanged a confused look with Alanna.

Ethan: What does your sister mean? She thinks we're moving too fast?

Alanna: It shouldn't be like this? When I told my sister about this yesterday, she was quite supportive of our relationship. How did it suddenly become like this?

Seeing these two people flirting with each other in front of her, Ariel was so angry that she was shaking all over. Her hands and feet felt cold in the heated room. She held the railing at the end of the bed with one hand and yelled at Alanna breathlessly:

"Alanna, come here! If you are dating him, I will never allow it!"

"Ariel, let's talk it over nicely." Ethan smiled apologetically, "I can understand your reluctance to part with your sister, but the relationship between Alanna and I is really..."

"Don't call me Ariel! I really misjudged you before!" Ariel's face flushed and she pointed at Ethan, gritting her teeth and said angrily:

"Is it fun for an old cow to eat young grass? Are you happy to take advantage of a helpless girl? Do you feel a sense of accomplishment when you deceive a girl who is much younger than you? And after deceiving my sister, you want to deceive me. Do you want both of us to serve you next?"

"What?" Ethan's face suddenly twisted. He took the coat rack from Ariel's hand and put it aside, complaining angrily and amusedly:

"Let's put aside the bunch of weird things you said. What do you mean by an old cow eating young grass? I'm only 15 years old!"

"what?"

Ariel stared at Ethan's physique, which looked to be at least twenty years old. For the first time, she felt that the memory in her brain was not enough to handle things.

Ethan's eyes followed Ariel's line of sight and fell on his own pectoral muscles that were as hot as fire. He immediately understood the origin of this farce and sighed helplessly.

Well, it’s all because of my ugly physique.

It seems that I can’t get around the stereotype that I look old.

"Sister, you misunderstood Ethan..." Alanna tugged at the corner of Ariel's clothes, blushing and speaking humbly:

"He and I are classmates in the same grade, not some... old cow..."

"Ah? A student of the same grade?" Ariel still stared at Ethan blankly, "Then why have I never heard you mention him before?"

"Transfer student." Ethan spread his hands in a very humble manner, "Just arrived at Hogwarts this year."

Ariel glared at him, "I wasn't talking to you!"

"Oh." Ethan shrank his head and remained silent obediently.

The lady in front of me is still angry, so it would be better not to offend her by doing something unlucky.
