Hogwarts and the Holy Grail War

Ethan's fists unconsciously hardened as he listened to Abby's words.

What should I do? I feel like this is too easy for her.

"...I'm sorry! Can you forgive me?" Abby said, panting, looking at Ethan with a red face, "I'm done, can you let me go?"

"Don't be in a hurry." Ethan glared at Abby, turned around and shouted to the crowd watching.

"Did you all hear that? This man is called Neil Rosier! The woman is called Abby Anderson! Both of them are students at Hogwarts! In school, they rely on their family's power in the Ministry of Magic! They wantonly pour out their twisted malice towards innocent non-pure-blood classmates! That's why! I'm here to teach them a lesson!"

"See? This is the end of bullying others by taking advantage of your power! I don't care if your family is high-ranking or noble! As long as you do something this evil, you will be punished! You deserve to die!"

"You can spread this matter around! I'm not afraid of the Ministry of Magic finding out! I'm in Hogwarts! Anyone who wants to make things difficult for me can try! Let's see who will be the last one standing!"

He never expected these two psychopaths to realize their mistakes from the bottom of their hearts. The reason he asked them to shout out loud was just to let the onlookers hear what they had done.

After all, in the eyes of the crowd, he was the one who hit the man, so he had to have a legitimate reason for doing so. And the declaration just now was also to stir up their emotions. As long as the public opinion about this matter was hyped up, he would not become the target of public criticism in this magical world where non-pure-blood wizards accounted for the majority.

To put it bluntly, this was to embarrass them in front of everyone. He had seen reporters mixed in with the crowd, filming with cameras. If it was just an ordinary school bullying incident, they might not take it too seriously, but once it involved words like pure-blood and Ministry of Magic...

There is no way they would miss such big news. I'm sure there will be a page reporting this in tomorrow's Daily Prophet.

As long as everyone knew about it, Neil's father would not be able to go against the wind and embarrass Alanna. As long as he couldn't use his power in the Ministry of Magic to do anything to Alanna, even if he shifted his target to me and did something to me secretly, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Just deal with the opponent's moves directly.

After Ethan finished shouting, he looked at the passers-by, panting slightly, and continued: "Why are you still standing here? There's nothing to see anymore, you can continue to do your own thing!"

The crowd of onlookers dispersed slowly, and after a while, there were only four of them left in front of Mrs. Wayne's shop.

-

Oh, I've lost so many of my collections. I feel so sad.

By the way, I plan to change the cover, and I have selected a few pictures. Please vote for them.

As of 12 a.m. on the 8th, the new cover was the most posted picture among the following pictures.

Chapter 64 A Blow Close to Hell

"By the way, Alanna." Ethan watched the crowd gradually disperse, then turned to Alanna and said softly, "Although they have apologized to you, it does not mean that you have to forgive them. Do you understand what I mean?"

With all the bad things they have done, it is not possible to just apologize. Moreover, they apologized under their own coercion, so we cannot say that they will reflect on it. We can only say that they have no self-reflection at all.

"Yeah, I know." Alana blushed and nodded slightly.

After her sister, she is the second person who will do anything to stand up for herself in front of others.

Although he is not as close as his sister, he is more considerate than his sister. When he helps others, he always considers their feelings, instead of just venting his anger on the bully because he is bullied.

How could I not like him?

The girl had a shy look on her face as she looked at Ethan lovingly. Her strong gaze seemed to be able to penetrate all obstacles.

Ethan also felt Alanna's slightly aggressive gaze. His old face turned red and he coughed lightly, then shifted his gaze to the two people behind him.

"Then, the next thing is the second thing."

"Why is there still something else? Didn't we just apologize?" Neil glared at Ethan fiercely, with obvious resentment in his eyes.

Doesn’t he think he’s embarrassed enough today?

"Apologize already? You don't think that a few simple words of apology can settle all the bad things you did before, right?" Ethan looked at Neil with disgust in his eyes, "Ask yourself, how can such a good thing happen in the world? Especially for a scum like you."

"You!" Neil struggled to stand up and fight back against Ethan, but thinking of the strength Ethan had just shown, he finally gave in and said weakly, "...you say it."

"It's very simple." Ethan leaned over, deliberately not letting Alana hear the conversation, and whispered to Neil and Abby, "You just need to..."

Alanna stood aside and blinked as she watched Ethan and the other two whispering, her eyes full of confusion and curiosity.

I always feel like he's going to do something bad again.

Oh, that's not right. Why is it again?

"That's it." After a few brief words, Ethan straightened up, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked at the two of them jokingly, "Isn't it simple?"

"What?" Neil's eyes turned red, he punched the ground and said angrily, "Are you kidding me?"

"No, Master Rozier, I'm serious." Ethan shook his head seriously.

"Impossible! I would never do that!" Neil roared in a hoarse voice.

"So there's nothing to talk about?" Ethan shook his head, feeling very regretful, and rolled up his sleeves. "Then I can only talk to you about reason again."

"Wait a minute." Neil saw Ethan was about to raise his fist at him, so he quickly agreed, "I'll do it, I promise you!"

"Very good. I knew that the young master of the Rosier family was a man who knew the current situation." Ethan nodded with satisfaction, his expression full of praise for Neil, and turned his gaze to Abby, "What about you, Miss Anderson?"

"I..." Abby stammered, not knowing what to say. After being nudged by Neil's elbow, she finally agreed reluctantly, "I'll do it too."

"That's settled then. Tomorrow night."

"Okay." Neil was breathing heavily because of the intense emotion, "Can we go now?"

"Of course, let's say goodbye here." Ethan patted the non-existent dust on his hands, turned around and ignored their ugly appearance at the moment, "By the way, don't think that you can deal with it here and not fulfill your promise. Since I can beat you once, I can do it a second time."

"Oh, there is one more thing. Although I don't think you have the guts, I will still remind you. If you dare to use your family's power to bully others, including but not limited to Alanna, then no matter where you hide, I will find you and teach you a lesson. Do you understand?"

Ethan said without turning his head, nodded to Alanna, and walked away with her.

"Abby, help me up." Neil said to Abby intermittently while coughing.

"Okay, be careful." Abby put Neil's arm on her shoulders and slowly helped Neil up from the wall.

Neil stood up, stared at the two people who were walking away with gloomy eyes, suddenly pulled out his wand and pointed it forward with force.

"Bombarda!"

A thin dark red beam of light shot out from Neil's wand and flew straight towards Ethan's back.

Ethan, sensing something, turned around abruptly and looked in astonishment at the ominous red light coming towards him.

boom!

With Ethan as the center, the violent explosion stirred up a large area of ​​dust. The rubble on the surrounding ground spread along the shock wave generated by the explosion, covering the figures of Ethan and Alanna.

"What are you doing?!" Abby asked in disbelief, staring blankly at the center of the smoke.

"Need I ask? Of course I'll kill him!" Neil said bitterly, "As long as he dies here, I won't have to fulfill that bullshit agreement."

"You... killed him?"

"Of course, you saw it too. He had no time to react." Neil laughed, but that smile was full of distortion and madness. "This is the fate of disobeying me. There is no other way except death."

"I don't think so." Ethan's voice came from the center of the smoke.

Neil stared with wide eyes at the smoky center of the explosion in disbelief.

"Recover as before."

As the words fell, the rubble on the road that had been shattered by the explosion returned to its original position, the street became flat again, and the dust that had been raised also returned to the ground. The silhouettes of two people slowly emerged from the dissipating smoke.

Ethan turned sideways, put his right arm around Alana's shoulders to protect her behind him, and pointed the wand in his left hand at Neil's location.

"You're quite courageous, Master Rozier." Ethan sneered, "You even dared to attack from behind. You really deserved the beating you received."

If he hadn't reacted quickly and cast an armor spell to protect himself and Alanna, he might have been torn to pieces, or even worse, he might have been blown to pieces.

Thanks to the fact that he put the wand in his sleeve, he could just slide it into his palm and cast the spell without any pre-swinging. If he put it inside his coat or somewhere else, he would have to use his other hand to pull it out, which was a waste of time.

"Shut up!" Neil shouted in intolerance, "Even my father never hit me like this! How dare you, how dare you do this to me! You are ready to die!"

Neil said, waving his wand again.

"Confringo!"

"Armor protection."

Ethan waved his wand lightly and easily blocked the fireball shot from the opposite side.

"Levicorpus!"

"Finite."

"Reducto!"

"Armor protection."

"Diffindo!"

"Armor protection."

"Expulso!"

"Armor protection."

Neil kept firing powerful curses, but all his magic was easily blocked by Ethan. His face became more and more distorted, and after shouting out several spells in succession, he quickly and fiercely waved his wand in a strange trajectory.

"Avada Kedavra!"

Chapter 65: When Ethan Dies, the Girl's Rebirth

"Avada Kedavra!"

A dazzling green light burst out from the tip of Neil's wand, blinding Alanna. She heard something flying past her, accompanied by a chaotic and harsh sound.

The green light dissipated, and she was finally able to open her eyes and see the surrounding scene clearly.

Ethan, who was supposed to be standing beside her, was now lying on his back on the ground not far away, with his limbs stretched out weakly. There was no scar on his body, but he had stopped breathing.

For a long second, Alanna stared blankly at Ethan's gray face, his lifeless black eyes, and his half-open mouth. Finally, she came to her senses and let out a heart-wrenching scream that even she herself found piercing.

"Ethan!!"

Alanna dropped the bag in her hand and rushed to Ethan regardless of anything, tears in her eyes. Looking at Ethan's slightly stunned and lifeless face, her knees suddenly lost strength and she fell heavily to the ground.

"Ethan? Ethan, don't scare me, okay? Wake up, wake up, Ethan, Ethan?"

The girl's lips trembled constantly. She picked up Ethan's head from the ground with trembling hands, rocked him gently in her arms, and called his name incoherently.

But the only answer she got was silence.

Alanna's throat seemed to be stuck by something. She wanted to continue speaking to wake Ethan, but her throat was completely silent. Tears as big as beans slid down her cheeks. The girl held Ethan's upper body in her arms, her shoulders shaking constantly.

She knew it very well in her heart. Professor Snape had mentioned to her that the Avada Kedavra was the most vicious curse, which could not be defended against and there was no breaking spell. Once a person was hit by the Killing Curse, then the fate of that person was only death.

Although there is an exception of Harry Potter, there has never been a precedent of anyone surviving except him.

But she still held a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that Ethan would suddenly sit up as if nothing had happened, brush off the dirt on his body, tell her with a smile that he was fine, and then teach Neil and the others a lesson again while chatting and laughing.

He is so powerful that he could save himself from Neil's beating, could clearly see through Abby's lies, could defeat Neil as if it was a game, and maybe even save his life from the killing curse.

But why hasn't he woken up yet?

On the other side, after casting the Killing Curse, Neil retracted his outstretched arm and looked at his slightly trembling hand holding the wand.

I did it. I really did it.

Although he had practiced the Unforgivable Curse on small animals many times before with the tacit consent of his family, this was the first time he cast it on a living person. He did not expect that with his strong killing intent, the spell would actually work successfully.

It was also thanks to Ethan that he dispersed the crowd before. Otherwise, if there were so many people watching, it would be difficult for me to do this in front of everyone. In this case, I have to thank him.

If he could still hear.

"You...you actually..." Abby's breathing quickened, and she pointed her shaking fingers at Ethan, her whole body shaking violently, "You actually used the Unforgivable Curse! Aren't you afraid of being sent to Azkaban?"

"What are you afraid of? As long as we kill that mudblood, no one will know it was me!" Neil screamed hysterically.

At this point, there is no turning back for him.

Once you take a life, there is no choice but to go all the way.

As long as he could kill all the people who knew about it here, no one would know that he was the one who cast the spell. Without anyone testifying, even if his wand was checked, there was still a possibility of overturning the case.

Suddenly, he smiled self-deprecatingly, pointed the tip of his wand at Abby, and asked in a trance-like tone: "You will keep a secret for me, right?"

If the secret cannot be concealed, although it is a pity, Abby in front of me can only be killed to silence her.

"Crazy...you're crazy!" Abby knelt on the ground dejectedly, looking up at Neil, fear and anxiety all over her face, "You're still thinking about..."

"Hurry up and tell me! Tell me you'll keep it a secret for me," Neil interrupted Abby, grabbed her by the collar and lifted her up, pointed his wand hand at Ethan and threatened him fiercely, "Otherwise you'll end up like him!"

"I...I'll keep it a secret." Abby tugged at her collar, looking at Neil with a look of strangeness and fear, as if she was talking to someone she didn't know at all, "Please...please, don't kill me..."
