Hogwarts and the Holy Grail War

"Yes, that's him." Mad-Eye raised his eyebrows. "Why? You know Ethan too?"

"I know him, but he may not know me." Alexios sighed, "I came to the Ministry today just for his matter - no, it's all right now. You just said that he has returned safely, so I can go back without any worries."

Mad-Eye laughed and said, "Why, did that kid Ethan provoke you? Why do you care so much about him?"

"You didn't provoke me..." Alexios looked melancholy, "My daughter has grown up... She even ignored everything for a young man. A few days ago, I heard that the guy was missing, and as a result, she lost her appetite all day long and looked so haggard. I feel sorry for my daughter, so I can only come here to ask if there is any trace of Ethan."

"It's little Cassandra... Then you can go back and tell her that the guy she's worried about is doing well, so she can rest assured." Mad-Eye's expression was a little complicated. "By the way, ask me to give her a good message, just tell her that Uncle Moody wishes her a happy Christmas."

"Why don't you go and see her yourself?" Alexios smiled helplessly.

"Forget it, that's not safe for you." Mad-Eye turned around simply, "We should go, Tony--!"

Tony had been frowning and thinking about something since he mentioned Ethan's name. Now he was talking to himself:

"That's not right. I remember Ethan wasn't with...hiss——"

Halfway through his words, Tony suddenly realized something and immediately stopped talking, his eyes widened in horror.

Could it be that the boy is two-timing?

Alexios keenly grasped the message in Tony's words: "And what?"

"Nothing..." Tony changed the subject with sweat dripping from his face, "Mr. Wally, the weather is nice today, with a clear blue sky, hahahaha..."

"Tony, tell the truth." Mad-Eye sighed, "You can't hide it. Alexios will know about this sooner or later. It's better to speak out in advance to avoid hurting others."

"Ethan..." Tony looked at Alexios hesitantly:

"He is in love with another girl named Alanna Shannans. The girl has been hospitalized in St. Mungo's these days, and he is accompanying her there. I don't think he is pretending, right?"

"...St. Mungo's? Which ward?" Alexios asked with a dark face.

"The Yaoyaodongguai ward on the fifth floor." Tony answered honestly.

"Excuse me, I have something to do, so I'll leave first." Alexios nodded to Moody, turned around and walked quickly towards the fireplace on the other side of the hall.

The Floo network in the fireplace led directly to the tea room on the sixth floor of St. Mungo's. Instead of going home to tell his daughter the good news, he had to go and see if Ethan was really unclear about other girls besides Cassandra as Tony said.

If this is just a misunderstanding, then everything is fine. I am not an old-fashioned person who can't bring myself to put on airs. If I explain it properly and apologize, maybe I can improve the relationship between them... Girls can't be kept at home when they grow up, so as an old father, I can only give them a push.

But if this is true... then Ethan can pack up and pick a good day to prepare to die. I think today is a good day.

Without even a moment's preparation to mourn Ethan's death, the one who immediately rushed to St. Mungo's was Alexios!

Tony looked at Alexios' figure being engulfed by the green Floo flame in the fireplace, and asked with some fear:

"Old Moody? Do you think I did something wrong just now?"

"No, you didn't do anything wrong. If there really is such a sign, you should warn him in advance."

Mad-Eye said calmly, "Besides, Ethan... won't do anything that would harm the world. Alexios is not an unreasonable person either. As long as we communicate well, we can resolve the misunderstanding."

"What if he really did it?" Tony skillfully began to choreograph Ethan. "I think that boy is doomed to have a lot of romantic relationships, and the girls he's been involved with are all very pretty. What if he gets confused and does something he shouldn't do..."

"It can only be said that I really misjudged him. It's a good opportunity for Alexios to teach him a lesson." Mad-Eye curled his lips indifferently.

Tony began to sigh again:

"Actually, what I'm most worried about now is not that Ethan is cheating on me, but... think about it, this guy and Miss Shanans should be a couple, right? He has done so much for a girl, there is basically no room for doubt."

"If he's not two-timing, then that means he has no feelings for Cassandra. And according to what Mr. Volley said, Cassandra doesn't look fake, so she must have feelings for Ethan. Doesn't that mean it's all Cassandra's wishful thinking? Or maybe Cassandra is trying to steal someone's girlfriend... No matter which case, do you think the relationship between these three people can be easily sorted out?"

"Tsk, I didn't expect you to be so sensitive when it comes to relationships." Mad-Eye smacked his lips and asked sarcastically, "Then why did you leave your underage girlfriend at the Three Broomsticks for so long when you were in Hogsmeade? I heard that she even knelt on the washboard afterwards?"

"…Old Moody, if you can talk, just keep your mouth shut."

-

I used AI to run a few Cassandras today, but for some reason, the pictures I ran out of were either too young or had an old lady's face...

These are a few pictures that are barely acceptable. I guess I have to find a few more models to try tomorrow.

Chapter 248 Sister, sister, how many girlfriends does Ethan have?

St. Mungo's, Janus Hitch ward.

"...What do you think Kashan should do in the future? This is the first time I've seen her so devoted to a boy. If they are in love with each other, that would be great, but what if Ethan doesn't have any feelings for Kashan... Kashan is such an excellent child. She has never suffered any setbacks since she was a child, especially in love. In the past, she was always pursued by a bunch of boys and treated like a jewel in the palm of their hands. How could she show her affection to others unilaterally and get no response? I am now worried that she will be hurt..."

Myrrine sat beside the bed and spoke sadly to Alice Longbottom and Frank Longbottom, who were sitting in a row on the bed like elementary school students.

To be honest, Myrrine knew that what she said was meaningless to Alice Longbottom and Frank Longbottom. They had been tortured crazy by Voldemort and his Death Eaters, and it was impossible for them to understand her problems, nor could they give her any useful advice or suggestions. But it was not a good thing to keep these worries in her heart. She had to have someone to vent all these feelings.

Alice Longbottom blinked and asked timidly:

"So Sister Myrrine, how many girlfriends does Ethan have?"

"..."

Myrrine held her forehead with her hand as if she had a headache. Although she had expected this kind of incoherence, Alice's question still made her feel a little uncomfortable.

What does it mean to have several girlfriends?

The problem that bothered her now was what Ethan thought of Cassandra, and whether there was any sign that they could be together. Was it related to how many girlfriends he had? ... It seemed that it was indeed related. If the term "girlfriends" of Cassandra's boyfriend dared to be in the plural form, she would use a cutting curse to cut his third leg into pieces!

So, with some inappropriate expectations, she turned her gaze to Frank Longbottom, who was looking down and picking his fingers.

"Don't look at me like that."

Frank looked up and glanced at Myrrine, and continued in a tone that seemed no different from that of a normal person:

"Myrrine, you know me well. I'm already crazy and can't offer any useful suggestions. Instead of asking two lunatics like us for advice on this kind of issue, you might as well go directly to Ethan and ask him what he thinks."

Frank's condition is different from Alice's. Both are permanent soul damage caused by the Cruciatus Curse. Alice's symptoms are mental regression to that of a toddler, while Frank's is another strange condition. Although he looks no different from a normal person now and can talk and communicate normally, this is only an extremely rare situation. In most cases, the conversation with him is always irrelevant.

You ask him what the weather is like today, and he replies that rabbits are so cute how can you eat them.

Fortunately, they are not dangerous and do not show any aggression towards other people. However, this condition is somewhat dangerous for them. If left untreated, it is easy for something to go wrong, such as getting a kidney cut or something. Therefore, they still need to receive professional care at St. Mungo's.

They were indeed crazy, and could no longer recognize their family and friends. Even if they remembered them again, they would forget them quickly. In the past 11 years, Myrrine had reacquainted themselves with them dozens of times, and today was no exception. Myrrine introduced herself to them again as soon as she entered the door.

"Frank?"

As if she was a little surprised by Frank's normality, Myrrine felt her nose a little sour.

"what happened?"

Frank lowered his head and continued picking his fingers:

"I'm just crazy, not stupid."

"Frank, how could you do this!" Alice screamed in dissatisfaction, and suddenly realized that her voice was a bit loud, so she covered her mouth and muttered softly:

"Sister Myrrine is worried, can't you give her some serious advice?"

"Okay, I think we should let Myrrine go to Ethan to ask for Cassandra's help," Frank said, rolling his eyes unnaturally.

"You don't have to ask him if he likes Cassandra, just ask him if he has a girlfriend. If Ethan doesn't have a girlfriend, regardless of whether he likes Cassandra or not, just beat him to his knees with a brick and carry him to Cassandra's bedroom, so that Cassandra and him will have a done deal. Getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later is better than any bullshit."

Myrrine's face was filled with black lines.

It's really okay to make up stories about her daughter in front of her mother... Well, they really don't realize this problem.

Difficult to stretch.

Alice then asked, "What if Ethan has a girlfriend?"

"If he has a girlfriend..." Frank laughed and patted the pillow and yelled, "Then let Cassandra snatch his girlfriend away. Then make love with his girlfriend in front of him and make Ethan regret it for the rest of his life!"

Myrrine slapped herself on the forehead.

It's even harder to hold on.

On the other side, the stinky man Ethan slipped very quickly driven by the desire to survive. His agile figure twisting and turning on the stairs looked like Jackie Chan with full stunts. While running wildly on the steps, he would look back from time to time to see if there was an angry little tsundere chasing him with a treasure.

He soon arrived at the door of Yaoyaodongguai ward, opened the door, turned around and stared at the movement towards the stairs, then slowly retreated into the room like a Tom cat.

Alanna was half lying on the bed, watching Ethan the cat sneak into the room, and couldn't help but laugh:

"What are you doing, Ethan?"

"Nothing." Ethan leaned against the door and let out a long breath:

"I just met Cassandra."

"Cassandra?" Alana was a little excited and turned over to get out of bed. "What is she doing here? I want to meet her."

"Don't!"

Ethan pushed the girl back onto the bed and said earnestly:

"It's best not to meet her now."

"Why?" The girl looked at Ethan with eyes full of curiosity and agility.

(Note: The dialect used here is meant to express cute emotions)

"I played a joke on her when I met her just now." Ethan scratched his ear and briefly explained to the confused girl, "She thought I was dead."

"???"

Alanna began to think seriously about what Ethan had said to Cassandra. You just appeared in front of her like a living person, and yet you made her think you were dead...

What on earth did you do to her? You're stronger than the Imperius Curse!

"It's hard to explain it in a few words. Anyway, she will soon realize that I was lying to her. If she meets me again in extreme anger, she might do something irreversible. For the safety of your boyfriend, you should stay out of the spotlight for now."

"I understand, Ethan, you're talking nonsense again... Ugh, it hurts! I poked it, stop pinching..."

Ethan released his hand from the girl's delicate face, and while pulling it back in front of him, he made a gesture of pinching the face in the air.

Well, it feels as good as always.

No, I can't keep bullying her like this, otherwise sooner or later she will awaken something strange.

But it feels really good...

Alanna rubbed her red cheeks indignantly and pouted: "You just made a joke with her? Didn't you say anything unnecessary?"

"What do you mean?"

"That's right..." Alanna's eyes were filled with jealousy:

"The things I told you before... that you were allowed to date your sister and Cassandra as girlfriends, you haven't told her yet, right?"

Someone was too confident at the beginning, and now that the time has come, he is starting to panic.

"How could I possibly tell her such a thing?" Ethan said with a frown, "If I were to tell her directly, 'Alanna said that she wants you and her to be my girlfriend, and I agree, and I'm just waiting for your opinion,' then she would be kindhearted if she didn't cast a killing curse on me."

"Who told you to be so blunt? Can't you be more tactful?" Alana carefully tested Ethan's tone, "For example, you hid the fact that we were dating from her, tricked her into it first, made her love you so much that she couldn't help herself and couldn't leave you anymore, and then you confessed these things to her, forcing her to accept it or something like that?"

Ethan nodded seriously. "Yeah, that's a good idea. Why didn't I think of it? You're worthy of being my girlfriend. You're so thoughtful! Then I'll follow your guidelines in the future... Oh, oh, oh, I was wrong, I was wrong, don't hit me..."

The girl withdrew her fist from his chest in embarrassment and said, "Don't do this! Even if you really want to find more girlfriends, you can't lie to others like this!"

"I know, and I won't look for other girls. Isn't having you enough?" Ethan saw the girl's face fall again, and quickly changed his words, "Of course, at most Ariel can be added, and having you two sisters together is enough for me."

I swear to God, I am not a scumbag! He said this against his will only to take care of Alanna's feelings. It was definitely not his original intention!

But why did he say these words so naturally? There was no discomfort or awkwardness at all, as if this was his true nature...

It seemed that with the girl's previous words, something strange really awakened in his body.

"Then..." Alanna blinked again, "Would you like me to help you with some advice on how to pursue Cassandra? I know her preferences, and with my help, you will be able to capture her easily!"

"I refuse!" Ethan made a "da-me" gesture. "I just find it strange, Alanna. Why are you so anxious to pair me and Cassandra together? Do you have some special fetish?"

"You are the one with the special fetish!" The girl glared at him, threw herself into Ethan's arms in dissatisfaction, and planted a strawberry mark on his neck.

She actually wanted to hear Ethan say such a rejection. The girl's mind was strange. Although she knew that Ethan really had no worldly desire for Cassandra, she would still involuntarily test Ethan's thoughts again and again. Now Ethan's "rather die than surrender" pure love warrior speech made her happier than hearing any love words.

But if Ethan had really nodded in agreement just now... then unfortunately, Mr. Ethan might not be able to go back to Hogwarts today, or he might not be able to leave this ward today.

Alanna: I will attack in juicer form!

So the person who was planted with strawberries skillfully occupied the strategic high ground:

"The therapists are busy right now, and your sister's transfer to another ward will have to wait for a while. How about we..."

"Goodness!" The girl slapped his dirty hands away, then immediately hooked her arms around her boyfriend's neck, then closed her eyes and slowly moved herself towards the pervert in front of her...
