Hogwarts and the Holy Grail War

"Uh... raise your head first." Cassandra looked at Ethan who was bowing at a standard 90-degree angle, and decided to give him a little sweetness first, so she smiled in a standard aristocratic etiquette and said, "Don't be so nervous, I'm Alanna's friend. Your name is Ethan, right?"

"Yes, I'm Ethan." Ethan felt relieved when he heard the other party's tone. He breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his body, and replied, "Just call me Ethan."

"Okay, Ethan. My name is Cassandra, Cassandra Worley." Cassandra maintained a polite smile and said, "You can call me Miss Cassandra."

"Okay, Miss Cassandra. Miss Cassandra has been waiting for me outside the greenhouse for so long. Is there something important?" Ethan asked with a smile and frowned slightly, noticing something strange in Cassandra's words.

Generally speaking, the British will only call people they are familiar with by their first names. For people they are not very familiar with but have some interactions with, they will just call them by their last names. Or, if they are even more unfamiliar, they will add a respectful title such as Mr. or Ms. after the last name to indicate that they are not familiar with each other.

Of course, this does not include the sarcasm between friends.

Although Cassandra asked me to call her by her name, she added a polite title like "Miss" at the end. This title, which was very disconnected, was a bit contradictory.

But maybe there is some unspeakable secret in her family, so she doesn't want people to mention her family name, who knows.

Anyway, she tells me to call her whatever I want, so I just have to do as she says, I can't go wrong.

"Yes, I do have something to ask you." Cassandra put away her smile and said indifferently, "I didn't say anything just now, but Mr. Ethan suddenly apologized to me. Did you do something wrong?"

Chapter 88: The Waves That Will Never Match

"Did Mr. Ethan do something wrong?"

Cassandra didn't want to waste time talking to Ethan, so she went straight to the point.

"Ah this..." Ethan was caught off guard by Cassandra's sudden change in attitude.

Here it comes, she is still ready to blame herself.

At this time, you must be sincere when admitting your mistakes. The British are old gentlemen and they are reasonable. As long as you have the right attitude, they will not be so embarrassed as to embarrass you.

"Yes, I did do something wrong to others." Ethan put on an extremely exaggerated look of regret and began to apologize, "I shouldn't have made some strange noises during class. This behavior not only disrupted the order of the class, but also may distract Miss Cassandra when you are performing dangerous operations and hurt yourself..."

"Ah?" Cassandra looked puzzled. "What are you talking about? I'm not looking for you for such an insignificant matter!"

Where is this going?

"What? Isn't it because of this?" Ethan leaned back and instantly became confident, "Then what did I do?"

Since it wasn't because of my bad mouth, I really had no idea what I had done to offend Miss Cassandra, whom I met for the first time today.

Cassandra saw that Ethan was a stubborn person who would not give in to any persuasion, and her attitude suddenly turned cold: "Don't you know clearly what you did?"

"I don't know, not at all." Ethan shook his head, looking sincere, "Too many things have happened recently, could you please give me a heads up, Miss Cassandra?"

"Okay, then I'll give you a warning." Cassandra gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "Have you done anything excessive or against your conscience to girls recently?"

"That's too much..." Ethan rested his chin on his hand and fell into deep thought.

Speaking of excessive things, I insulted Abby Anderson in public in Hogsmeade the day before yesterday. If we ignore the cause and effect and just look at the incident itself, it was indeed excessive.

But it didn't go against my conscience at all.

No, could it be that this sister is here to seek justice for Abby?

No way, no ...

Let yourself test her first.

"Miss Cassandra is right. I did do some very excessive things in Hogsmeade." Ethan nodded and said seriously, "But those things did not make me feel guilty about my conscience. It is better to say that it was the justice in my heart that drove me to do such things."

First, be humble and admit that your methods were a bit excessive, then express your attitude and the legitimacy of doing this. As long as she is a reasonable person, she will surely understand you.

"What?" Cassandra clenched her fists. "At this point, you still dare to call it justice? Do you know how much harm your actions will cause to a girl? Have you never felt even the slightest bit of shame?"

"Ah? Isn't that what she asked for?" Ethan's attitude towards Cassandra suddenly became sarcastic. "I don't feel the slightest bit ashamed of what I did. I'm actually proud of it."

Alanna held the black book in her hand, looking blankly at the increasingly tense conversation between the two people closest to her at school, feeling somewhat helpless.

I always feel that there is some serious misunderstanding between them.

No, I must reconcile the relationship between the two of them. I can't let my two friends become enemies for unknown reasons.

"Well, can you guys stop arguing?" Alana said weakly, "If you have anything to say, you can talk about it properly. There's no need to be so angry."

"Alanna, can you please stop indulging him?" Cassandra put her hands on her hips, feeling indignant at her friend's partiality. "Can't you just be clear-headed? What's so good about him that makes you so partial to him?"

"But Ethan didn't do anything wrong. Cassandra, why are you making things so difficult for him?" Alanna tilted her head, puzzled by her friend's sudden anger.

"Look, Alanna, the person involved, doesn't have any objections." Ethan spread his hands and took the opportunity to get ahead of himself. "Doesn't this just prove that there's nothing wrong with what I did?"

"You approached Alanna because she's easy to please, right?" Cassandra said, getting angrier and angrier. She raised her voice, "It must be very satisfying for you to play with the feelings of such an honest girl, right?"

"Huh? When did I play with her feelings?" Ethan looked humiliated and raised his voice higher than Cassandra's. "What do you mean? Do I look like a frivolous person?"

"You didn't?" Cassandra responded sharply. "Didn't you just admit it yourself?"

"What did I admit?" Ethan felt angry and amused. "Are you making fun of me?"

"Alanna, please judge for yourself!" The two turned to Alanna and said in unison, "Who is wrong?"

"Huh?" Alanna blinked. "Why don't you just talk about your thoughts first? I feel like you're not talking about the same topic."

This kind of behavior that is subtly dissonant but happens to connect with the topic is unique.

After a brief explanation to each other.

Ethan and Cassandra stared at each other, looking awkward, as if they wanted to say something but couldn't.

“…I’m sorry,” Ethan said with a constipated look on his face, but he still apologized first. “I was too self-righteous. I didn’t explain myself clearly and caused you to misunderstand. I’m really sorry.”

It's really outrageous. How could she think that she would have any improper thoughts about Alanna?

Miss Cassandra, you may not believe it, but it is actually this harmless girl next to you who has improper thoughts about me.

"It's my fault that I attacked you without fully understanding the whole story." Cassandra blushed and said reluctantly, "Please forgive my mistake."

Damn, the topic was completely off topic. How did he think he would stand up for that Anderson guy? Was he that bad?

Also, this man really has no awareness of what he has done!

"Yes, I accept your apology." Ethan nodded, and took the opportunity to start to push his nose and face again, "Don't make such low-level mistakes again in the future, Miss Cassandra."

"You..." Cassandra clenched her fists, looking very upset.

Although my thinking was wrong in the first place, didn't you make any mistakes? If he hadn't been a riddle teller and didn't make his point clear, I wouldn't have been playing riddles with him until now, and ended up in such an unpleasant situation.

It turns out that I really hate this guy named Ethan!

"I have to say it in advance, Ethan. I apologize to you only because I misunderstood you due to my inappropriate expression, that's all." Cassandra gritted her teeth, looked at Ethan with a bad face, and said, "I still don't believe that you don't have any inappropriate thoughts about Alanna. I will always be on guard against you in the days to come."

"Yeah, yes, yes, okay, okay, as long as you are happy." Ethan said perfunctorily.

Anyway, he thinks he is doing the right thing and is not afraid of others being wary of him.

Cassandra looked at Ethan's nonchalant and exaggerated appearance, and the anger that she had suppressed in her heart began to rise again.

No, this guy is totally unmovable. I really can't let him go so easily.

Ethan watched the murderous intent gradually spread on Cassandra's face, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Did I offend Miss Cassandra by being too perfunctory just now? Is she going to fight to the death with me next?

No, I still have classes to attend later and I can’t waste time here.

If all else fails, use Ming (Tai) Liang (Yang) Ru (Fist) Day on her and then take the opportunity to run away.

"Um, Miss Cassandra? If you have nothing else to do, I'll leave first. I have classes later." Ethan asked Cassandra weakly, with his wand in his sleeve ready for use at any time.

As long as she doesn't let me go, I'll have no choice but to do it.

"Okay, you can go." Cassandra pursed her lips fiercely and agreed to Ethan's request. Then she pointed at Ethan and said, "But I want to challenge you to a wizard duel, one on one, tonight!"

She changed her mind and decided to teach this guy a lesson.

Well, I was notified this afternoon that it will be on the shelves tomorrow.

I was quite panicked when I heard the news, after all, it was my first time writing a book. I heard that after it was put on the shelves, the number of collections and follow-up readings would drop significantly, and I didn’t know how many people would still read my book.

As a new author with a new book, there are definitely many negative and discouraging points in it. I can only say thank you to all the readers who have persisted with me until now.

After being notified, I reviewed the chapters I had written before. In a word, the rhythm was terrible.

Originally, the outline planned to be a little more detailed for the first week after school, and then quickly jump to Christmas to start the cup war.

But now you can see that I was just writing too much. After all, I felt that there were too many things in the original book that could be expanded upon, and it would be a pity to just brush it over. Adding some of my own ideas, I found that I had written 20 words.

Well, it’s only been a week since school started.

All I can say is that it can be used next time.

happy.

Now let’s talk about the future plans for this book.

Basically, it's about the troubled life at Hogwarts and various cup battles during the holidays. In addition, I have some bold ideas. I'll see if I get the chance to write them down.

The plot before Goblet of Fire is basically consistent with the original work, without any major changes.

After all, one of the reasons I wanted to write this book was that after playing Hogwarts Legacy, I wanted to use the abilities of the game's protagonist to resolve some of the regrets in the original book, and to kill Nose with a slap.

Well, there are also various scenes of tearing servants apart with bare hands.

Also, this book is basically still about the magical world, and Muggle affairs will not be involved too much. The Muggle world will basically only exist as a background, and the protagonist will not interfere in certain historical processes.

Because I think people watch Harry Potter just to see the fancy magic. No one would think of finding reality in Harry Potter, right?

There is also the issue of the protagonist's combat power. Personally, I think it is okay to use cheats, but the cheats cannot exceed the original combat power system too much or differ too much from the style of painting.

It’s impossible for Ultraman to suddenly appear in a book about Western magic, right?

Except for unlimited streams.

Therefore, some of the protagonist's cool moves have traces to follow, which will be elaborated on later.

I have almost reached 1,000 words, so I will leave it at that for now. I will occasionally write some of my own thoughts in the author's comments.

And don't worry, although the performance is not good, this book will not be postponed. After it is put on the shelves, even if the performance is poor, I will insist on completing it. At most, it may return to one update per day? It depends on the situation.

Ben Pujie has always been particular about seeing things through from beginning to end.

Oh, and there's also the bounty thing.

The bounty will be set for three days, until 6pm this Sunday (June 25). The current data is as follows:

Based on this data, with two updates a day and 2k words each update:

Every additional 50 yuan for monthly tickets will add 1k words.

For every 500 recommendation votes, 1k words will be added.

Every 500 yuan reward will add 1k words.

Every 50 blades add 1k words.

We’ll decide whether it will be a large chapter of 3k words or an extra update. It will be marked in the chapter name.

I heard from a big guy that it is better to update on the evening of the day the game is released, so I will update it tomorrow evening. As for how much I will update, it depends on your support (crazy hint).

Chapter 89 Hahaha, I'm not going

"I challenge you to a wizard fight, one on one, tonight!"

"Ah?" Ethan, who was about to run away, stopped where he was when he heard Cassandra's declaration of war.

How could she be so desperate as to duel with her own wizard? Did she think she was very strong?

A wizard's duel is a formal contest between two or more wizards in wizarding culture, where only magic may be used.

During a duel, both parties first bow to each other to show respect, then assume a universal duel stance. After the referee counts three times and says start, both parties will use various magic to try to disarm, stun, injure, defeat or kill the other party, forcing the other party to surrender and win.

Well, physical attacks such as throwing stones, raising sand, stealing weapons, and physical contact are not allowed, so Ethan can't knock out the opponent with one punch.

It looks like Cassandra might be able to save her life (happy).

However, in addition to actual combat, wizard duels also exist as a sport. It can be presented in the form of friendly matches and is very popular among young wizards.

But looking at Cassandra's aggressive attitude, she probably wants to play more than just a friendly match with me.

"What's wrong? Why are you in a daze?" Cassandra looked at the silent Ethan and urged, "Are you afraid? A hero who can kill a giant monster won't back down from a duel between students, right?"
