Hogwarts and the Holy Grail War

Ethan tried to push the wooden door inwards. It trembled slightly but did not open. It seemed that the latch inside had automatically stuck.

"Alohomora."

Unwilling to give up, Ethan tried the unlocking spell on the door again, but the wooden door remained motionless and there was no sign of it being unlocked.

"Tsk, quite interesting." Ethan spread his hands towards the door, the corners of his mouth stretched to the sides in a smile because of his interest.

I can ask Professor Figo about the principle of this thing later.

By the way, I was thinking of asking Professor Figo about Professor Garrick, but the old man slipped away so decisively that I didn’t even have the chance to ask.

Alas, next time will definitely be sometime in the future.

The get out of class had not yet ended when the two left the office, so the hall of the Black Magic Defense Tower was empty and extremely quiet.

Since there was no one around, Ethan relaxed and walked slowly side by side with Alana in the empty corridor of the tower. Their footsteps were particularly clear in the empty hall.

Alanna suddenly said, "It feels... so quiet."

"Yeah, there's no one in the hall or corridor. It's not as noisy and crowded as usual." Ethan also enjoyed this atmosphere.

"After all, it's still class time, and both students and professors are in the classroom." Alana smiled softly, "It would be great if this atmosphere could last forever."

"Yes, it would be nice if it could continue forever."

Now Ethan doesn't need to think about those random plans, nor does he need to think about homework and study. He just needs to be accompanied by the beautiful woman around him, empty his mind and indulge in this quiet environment.

No one can refuse it.

"You seem very happy, Alanna."

"Of course. Since I met you, Rozier and the others haven't bothered me in the past two days. Everything is getting better, isn't it?"

"Yes, everything is getting better. I have to work harder too. Since I promised to protect you, I can't fail in my duty."

That's right, not all my efforts were in vain. Now most of the prefects are on my side, and the professors also have the support of Snape, the head of Slytherin. Everything I have accumulated in the past few days is meaningful.

As long as he didn't stop, the road ahead would continue to extend. All he had to do next was to get rid of Neil's group in one go to prevent future troubles. Without any worries, he wouldn't have to stand shoulder to shoulder with her only when there was no one around like he was doing now.

Ethan, who was in a good mood thinking about this, couldn't help but slow down his pace. Then, he met Jill and Carlos who suddenly walked out from the corner of the corridor.

"Hey, Ethan." Carlos raised his hand and greeted Ethan, "What are you two doing..."

Before Carlos could finish his words, Jill covered his mouth from behind.

"Oh, what's going on?" Jill blinked and said, "Who suddenly cast a blinding spell on us? Why can't we see anything? No, we have to go back and find the professor to remove the curse."

After saying that, Jill dragged Carlos, who was struggling desperately, and disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Ethan: ...

Coincidence, just a coincidence.

Ethan took a deep breath, comforting himself that it was just a coincidence, and then walked down the stairs with Alanna. At the corner of the stairs, he saw Rebecca holding a pile of books again.

Rebecca stopped on the steps, looked the two of them up and down, then walked straight past them with a book in her arms, muttering to herself.

"This pile of books is so annoying. It blocks my view. I can't see anything."

Ethan: ...

If you want to act, just act awkwardly.

Are there any other surprises that I don’t know about?

I just don’t believe this. Can I meet all my acquaintances today?

Ethan's good mood was almost ruined, so he came to the door of the black magic defense tower with a gloomy face. He stretched out his hand to push the door open, but the door was pulled open by someone from the outside, leaving him empty-handed.

"Hi, little Ethan~" Professor Garrick outside the door greeted Ethan in a playful manner.

Ethan: ...

Destroy it, hurry up.

tired.

Chapter 52 My dormitory is quite big

"So, what's going on again, Ethan?"

In the Gryffindor common room, Harry and several other first-year students gathered together, looking at Ethan, who was slumped on the sofa in Ge You's posture, with a look of confusion on their faces.

I always feel like I've seen this scene somewhere.

"I don't know. He's been like this since I met him at dinner." Ron shook his head. "When I asked him what was going on, he just replied with a few "ums", "ahs" and "ohs" to get by."

"Did something happen this afternoon?" Harry scratched his head. "Did Professor Figo assign a lot of homework again?"

"That's impossible. Professor Figo teaches ancient runes." Hermione shook her head and frowned. "This elective course doesn't start until the second week. It's hard to assign homework to someone like Ethan who hasn't learned anything yet."

"What could that be?"

Several people fell into deep thought again.

"We do know a little bit about this." Fred and George appeared from behind them at some point, put their arms around the necks of several boys, and acted mysteriously, "Do you want to hear it?"

"Tell me quickly." Several girls, led by Hermione, looked expectant about gossip.

"Ethan accidentally ran into a few passing prefects while dating Alanna at the Black Magic Tower this afternoon," Fred concluded neatly.

"Alanna?"

"afternoon?"

"Dark Magic Tower?"

"Dating?"

"several?"

This sentence contained a lot of information, and several people paid attention to different key points.

"That's all?" Ron looked at his two brothers with a look of disdain, "Just so-so." "Tell me more quickly, don't make me beg you."

"I know you're anxious, but don't worry." Fred cleared his throat and began to move the melons. "According to reliable information, Ethan asked Alanna to meet him at the Black Magic Defense Tower this afternoon."

"And in order to avoid being seen by others, I specially chose the afternoon class time to walk with Alana while chatting and laughing. It was so pleasant." George smacked his lips.

"I see!" Ron slapped his thigh and understood everything instantly. "I was wondering why Ethan left early this afternoon and said he had an appointment with the professor. It turns out he had an appointment with someone else!"

"That's right, not only did he go on a date with a girl, but he actually lied to us. That's so despicable!" Harry's face was full of the scent of lemon.

Qi Kexiu, I also want to date a beautiful girl!

"I don't think Ethan is the kind of person who would lie." The honest Neville began to excuse Ethan, "It could be that she made an appointment with Alanna after having an appointment with the professor."

"Huh?" Everyone's eyes suddenly became sharp.

A master of time management, huh?

"But the good times didn't last long. A few prefects who passed by accidentally saw this scene, but they pretended to ignore it out of kindness, thinking it would rather destroy ten temples than break up a marriage."

“But Ethan did notice that someone was watching them, otherwise it wouldn’t have turned out like this.”

"After all, he had previously insisted that there was nothing going on between them, but now that his story has been exposed, he must be feeling very ashamed."

"You know, Ethan is always arrogant. This is no different from a public execution."

"And it is said that the two people first came out of the professor's office. As you know, the door of the professor's office will automatically lock, so the two people inside may have taken advantage of the fact that no one was around..."

"Hiss——" Everyone took a deep breath and their pupils trembled slightly.

"Is this incident such a big shock to you?" Fred raised his eyebrows, very satisfied with everyone's reaction.

"We can't help it. After all, the two of them are playing a really big game." George shook his head and sighed deeply.

"No... bro..." Ron pointed tremblingly behind the twins and swallowed, "Look behind you."

"Hey," Ethan, who had been standing behind them since some time ago, put his arms around their shoulders, "You two guys seem quite cheerful. Tell me what's going on. Let me hear it."

"hiss……"

Fred and George both gasped, their pupils trembling slightly.

"Well, Ethan, we can explain it." Fred gritted his teeth and tried to seek a glimmer of hope.

"Yes, yes, listen to our excuses... no, explanations." George tried to calm Ethan down with cold sweat on his forehead.

"Well, I know. I will listen to your explanation slowly." Ethan looked at the two of them with a kind smile on his face, hugging them on both sides. "But it must be very uncomfortable to talk here standing there? My room is quite big. How about we go there and talk in detail?"

"Sorry, Fred and George want to talk to me about life, so I'll have to excuse myself first." Ethan gave a healthy smile to the shivering children, hugged the two chatterboxes on both sides and took them away.

The two unfortunate guys who were held on the shoulders had tears in their eyes. When they passed the fireplace, they turned around and made crazy looks at the seniors sitting on the sofa, trying to ask for help.

As a result, several class leaders who had turned around to watch the show turned their heads back instantly.

Chris/Claire/Patti: There's no hope. Just wait to die.

Patty watched Ethan and the Weasley twins disappear on the spiral staircase with their arms around each other's shoulders, and whispered to the other two for their opinions: "So do you think Ethan and Alanna are really dating?"

"Don't ask me if you don't know," Chris spread his hands, "I didn't happen to pass by and eat the melon."

Qi Kexiu, why did I suddenly want to go to the toilet at that time?

If I could hold it in, I could be there with Jill and the others to watch the show first.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get!

Why can't I control my leg?

"That's not important. What's important is..." Claire looked around warily, waved at the two of them to bring their heads closer, and then whispered, "It is said that Ethan is going to Hogsmeade for a date with Alanna tomorrow."

"Oh my god! Sister, is this information true?"

"Shh - brother, keep your voice down. Don't let Ethan hear you." Claire quickly made a shushing gesture and said unhappily, "It should be true. You can ask Ethan."

"Come on, Ethan's mouth is harder than Hagrid's rock pie, do you expect him to tell you?" Chris pretended to laugh and mocked his sister's clever plan.

"Alas, brother, your IQ is not enough at this point." Claire sighed, "I didn't ask you to ask Ethan directly, can't you just ask indirectly?"

At this time, Ethan came down the stairs, dragging Fred and George, who were lying on the ground unconscious, one in each hand. He threw the twins casually on the sofa, sat on the sofa next to Chris, and stretched.

Patty gave Chris and Claire a look that said "watch my show" and then turned to Ethan and asked, "Hey, Ethan. I want to ask you something."

-

I saw two nice ones today and would like to share them with you.

Chapter 53 Let me see if your clothes are good.

"Hey, Ethan. I want to ask you something."

"Go ahead." Ethan replied concisely.

"I heard you're going to Hogsmeade tomorrow, right?"

"Huh?" Ethan became alert instantly. "Who told you?"

"It doesn't matter who it is. I just want to ask you to bring something back for me." Patty began to act cute and pitiful. "I want to eat Honeydukes' chocolate balls, but I have to finish my homework this weekend and can't go to Hogsmeade. Can you bring some back for me?"

"Is that so? OK, no big deal." Ethan readily agreed to Patty's request and held out his hand to her. "But you have to pay first."

"No problem." Patty smiled brightly and took out a few silver Sickles and handed them to Ethan. "That's all the money you have. Buy as much as you can."

Ethan shook the silver coins in his hand and looked at Patty with a playful look on his face: "This money can buy a lot, is it really okay? Girls will get fat if they eat too many sweets."

"What the hell is it to you!" Patty's face turned dark in an instant.

"Goodbye!" Ethan, who was in a good mood after having caused a series of deaths, saw that the situation was not good and quickly slipped away.

Pi was very happy at this moment.

"Hey, Ethan! When can you come back from Hogsmeade tomorrow?" Patty stood up and asked, watching Ethan's back as he walked up the spiral staircase.

Ethan stopped and thought for a while, then turned around and said, "I'll go buy a broomstick. I'll go at 10 a.m. tomorrow and I'll definitely be back in the afternoon."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the auditorium during dinner."

Patty nodded, watched Ethan walk up the spiral staircase again, sat back on the sofa, and spread her hands to Chris: "Done."

Chris, who had opened his mouth wide, lowered his jaw and pointed at Patty, then at Ethan's back: "Is it that simple?"

He got the information out of him in just a few words, and even found out the time.
