Hogwarts and the Holy Grail War

I just wonder what expressions Harry and the others will have when they see me opening the portal?

Ahem, that’s too far off topic.

"Okay, you guys go back first." Ethan quickly collected his thoughts and waved his hands back and forth at the three of them. "It's almost time for breakfast. Are you all hungry?"

"You're not coming back with us?" Harry asked, looking disappointed.

Could it be that Ethan is doing some interesting training without telling us?

"No, I have to go have some emotional exchange with Hagrid." Ethan smiled maliciously.

Who is the best at leaking information? Go to Hagrid at Hogwarts!

"Hagrid, Hagrid, open the door! I know you are in there, open the door!"

Ethan banged on the wooden door of Hagrid's hut and shouted with all his might.

Even if Hagrid wasn't awake yet, all this noise would surely wake him up.

"What are you doing? Why are you making so much noise so early in the morning? Can't we sleep?!" Hagrid, wearing a pink strawberry print small...big pajamas, opened the door sleepily and shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Great, Hagrid! I knew you were awake." Ethan had a genuine smile on his face, "I have something to ask you."

Hagrid was awakened: ???

"Ah, it's Ethan. Why did you come to see me today? Why didn't you go for morning exercise with Harry and the others?" Hagrid rubbed his eyes, saw who it was, forced himself to cheer up, put away his bad temper after waking up, and asked kindly.

By the way, ever since Hagrid saw Ethan's boomerang training one day, he has been very interested in it. He gets up early every morning, then sits on a small stool at the door of his cabin, holding a basket of rock cakes while eating and watching Harry and the others being tortured with relish, and occasionally he raises his voice to comment on Harry and the others' eating operations, just like the uncles in the park who point fingers and give advice on other people's chess games.

As Harry and the others became more skilled, Hagrid lost interest in watching and returned to his normal routine within a few days.

"Harry has a Quidditch match tomorrow, so let them have a day off today." Ethan pointed in the direction of the castle. Harry and the others were still walking slowly on the lawn towards the castle gate. "Let's not talk about this, Hagrid. I came here to ask you something. How much do you know about the red light on Halloween night?"

"I didn't see the red light myself. The professors told me about it afterwards. Professor McGonagall told me after the search that the red light was very strange. She told me to be careful when patrolling in the Forbidden Forest and not to get close to the place where the red light was emitted."

After Hagrid said a lot of things, he finally realized: "I shouldn't have told you this."

"Then do you know where the red light comes from?" Ethan continued to ask without saying anything.

"Look, right there." Hagrid pointed to the path leading to the Forbidden Forest. "Follow this path, pass a thornback spider's nest, turn right and keep going. When you see a small lake, follow the lawn around the shore. That's the deepest part of the Forbidden Forest. It's very dangerous. The troll that broke in on Halloween also broke in from there."

Hagrid said, with a look of sudden horror on his face:

"I shouldn't have told you this."

Chapter 120 Something’s wrong with you

"Ethan, please, forget what I just said, okay?" Hagrid slapped his big hands on Ethan's shoulders, shaking him constantly, almost begging.

"Okay, okay, I didn't hear anything. Hagrid, can you stop shaking me? I'm going to vomit last night's dinner." Ethan was dizzy from being shaken by Hagrid. His head swayed back and forth uncontrollably, and he felt helpless.

Hagrid, you use your physical Obliviation skill quite well.

"Great, Ethan!" Upon hearing this, Hagrid immediately loosened his hand that was squeezing Ethan's shoulder, turned around and went back to the cabin ecstatically to search, "I still have some eel jelly that I just made last night, I'll give you half of it!"

"No need, you didn't say anything, I didn't hear anything, that's it!" Ethan was horrified when he heard this, and without caring about his sore shoulders pinched by Hagrid, he turned around and ran towards the castle without looking back.

What a joke, Hagrid's cooking skills were amazing, and I could only swallow the rock cakes I had before because of my good teeth. Now it's the traditional dark cuisine of the Ying Empire, plus his amazing cooking, I'm afraid I'll die on the spot if I take a bite.

I dare not eat it. I dare not eat it at all.

That night.

After Ethan finished his Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson with Snape and came out of the dungeon, he did not walk up the marble stairs leading to the Gryffindor common room. Instead, he turned a corner, opened the door and came to the Transfiguration courtyard.

"Shenfeng Wuying, good stuff, good stuff." Ethan slowly closed the wooden door, and kept exclaiming in admiration.

I didn't expect that the old bat would really not hide anything and dare to teach me this powerful spell which is easy to use and has high damage.

However, when he saw himself chopping the training dummy into pieces with a single strike, the expression on his face was quite distorted.

If only I had a camera, it would be interesting to take some pictures and share them with Alana and Harry later... Forget it, I'm afraid Snape would use his invisible strike on me and make me and the camera break into pieces.

Life is precious, don't waste it.

As for why I came to the Transfiguration Academy, the reason was very simple.

I had originally planned to go to the Forbidden Forest tonight to find out what was going on, but now it was curfew time, and the hall leading to the main entrance of the castle was full of patrolling prefects, and even Professor McGonagall was there. My half-baked Disillusionment Charm couldn't hide it at all.

In order to prevent Gryffindor's already poor score from getting worse, they had no choice but to implement Plan B and find another way.

Fortunately, there was no one patrolling in the Transfiguration Courtyard. All he had to do was climb to the top of the corridor in the courtyard, pass the greenhouse and Professor Garrick's office from the roof, and he could perfectly avoid everyone's eyes and ears and easily reach the outside of the castle.

If there were still people in the Transfiguration Courtyard, Ethan would have several other routes to take, but we will not discuss them here for now.

Can you believe that he did nothing else in his first week at Hogwarts but figure out some magical routes to move around the castle without being noticed?

The main thing is that he really has the ability to move along these amazing routes.

Ethan did what he said. He looked around again and made sure that there was no movement at the doors leading to the interior of the castle. Then he came to a pillar next to the corridor, took a few steps back, and started running.

"Drink!"

When he was only one step away from the pillar, Ethan pushed the ground hard, stepped a few steps on the side of the pillar, climbed up the pillar like parkour, grabbed the side beam of the roof with both hands, and hung himself in the air.

Then he exerted force with his arms and sent his upper body onto the roof. Then he raised one leg and grabbed the edge of the roof. Then he turned over and lay on the tiles.

With Ethan's current strength, coupled with the strengthening of his body through ancient magic, it's not impossible for him to jump directly onto the roof. However, doing so would make too much noise, and someone might come following the sound; secondly, with that level of strength, it's very likely that the roof would be crushed or leave other traces, and if someone discovered anything, it would be a loss.

Anyway, I am not unable to get up, so I don’t care about these details. I will just do it in the least noisy way.

Ethan slowly stood up on the roof, trying not to make any noise from the tiles under his feet, and then tiptoed along the roof towards the greenhouse area.

The simulated daylight from inside was faintly visible through the glass dome of the greenhouse. Ethan jumped lightly on the top of the corridor, grabbed the metal greenhouse frame with both hands, and climbed onto the glass roof.

Some plants don't like being disturbed, so you should be as gentle as possible when you move them.

Ethan climbed up and down the small greenhouse domes of varying sizes, trying not to make any loud noise.

We are about to reach the outside of the castle, and we can't fail here.

Hey!

Ethan's feet landed on the roof of Professor Garrick's office. This was the only building in the entire greenhouse area that did not use glass as a dome. The first floor was Professor Garrick's office and living area, and the second floor was Professor Garrick's bedroom and bathroom. The roof where Ethan was standing at this time was the extra area on the first floor compared to the second floor, and the bedroom window was right next to him.

However, the windows were tightly closed, the curtains were drawn tightly, and Garrick didn't grow any difficult plants in the office, so he could take a break and relax here.

After that, you just need to pass through the first greenhouse where only plants that are harmless to humans and animals are grown to end this thrilling journey.

"Little Ethan~"

The sound was not that loud, but it was so clear in the silent night that Ethan froze in place, with cold sweat breaking out on his back.

It's over, Professor Garrick found out.

Without waiting for the expected scolding, Ethan slowly turned his head and looked. There was no one on the roof, and there was no sign that the curtains behind the window were opened.

Is it an auditory hallucination?

Ethan swallowed and slowly moved to the window on the second floor. He pressed his face against the window glass and peeked into the room through the gap in the curtains.

Behind the window was the bedroom, facing Professor Garrick's bed.

Professor Garrick was lying on his side on the bed facing the window, curled up and falling asleep. His peaceful sleeping face looked very well behaved, with a kind of virtuous beauty that was different from his usual energetic and graceful appearance.

It seems to be a dream.

Ethan breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to leave the window, he heard Professor Garrick mumbling in his sleep again:

“No… Little Ethan, please be gentle… I can’t stand it anymore…”

Ethan's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Chapter 121 Sister Ka, I love you

Ethan's hands, which were clinging to the window frame, trembled slightly. He silently withdrew his gaze and moved his body away from the window.

I seemed to have heard something extraordinary just now.

Well, it’s a misunderstanding. It must be a misunderstanding.

Sister Mirabell is a professor at the school and the head of Hufflepuff. She is a role model, well-educated, gentle and considerate. She treats me like her own brother. How could she have such inappropriate thoughts about me? What I said just now must be ambiguous. It must be ambiguous. She must have said something normal. It's my impure thoughts that made me think the wrong thing. Haha, ahhahahahahahahahahaha...

What a liar!

Look at the unnatural blush on her face. If she really only dreamed about things that can be broadcast, I, Ethan, would eat the eel jelly made by Hagrid on the spot!

I was really stupid. I just knew that she suddenly recognized me as her brother for a reason, and there must be some hidden reason behind it. But I never expected that you, a professor with thick eyebrows and big eyes, were secretly lusting after my body!

Is the next step to unlock the CG of overcoming the tribulation at the office entrance?

You see, Alanna is just a child, she has never experienced love, she is ignorant of love, it is understandable that she has some bad intentions towards me; look at you, you are already a mature professor, how can you still use a student as a target for your spell? Even rabbits know not to eat grass near their nests!

This body of mine is only fifteen years old this year!

Ethan rubbed his temples and walked slowly away on the roof with a sad face. He took a big step forward and came to the glass roof of the first greenhouse. The old-fashioned thoughts engraved in his soul were still making him constantly make up some nonsense in his mind.

If he didn't have this sister, he could brag about how he likes to drive big cars and how he hopes a car-loving big sister will like him. But that's just talk. When you really encounter such a big car that wants to run you over, you will be scared and put away all your thoughts. You will keep a safe and polite social distance and never dare to cross that red line.

After all, this is not a book plot. You can't just use your lower body to think and then leave. You have to take responsibility for some things you have done. At least I still keep this bottom line in my heart.

If I were to be irresponsible and cheat on others, I would probably end up drinking with Brother Cheng sooner or later.

"Oh, I'm going!"

Apparently, the incident just now distracted Ethan's attention. He didn't pay any attention to the glass plate under his feet, and he stepped on empty air and fell from the glass dome of the first greenhouse. He first landed on the low wall that separated the greenhouse area from the outside of the castle and was caught in the middle. Then, due to inertia, his upper body hung on the wall and tilted forward, and he fell headfirst onto the lawn outside.

"what sound?"

Professor Garrick, who was in a light sleep, was awakened by the muffled sound of Ethan falling to the ground. He quickly got up from the bed and walked to the window, pulling open the curtains and carefully looking out the window. After making sure there was no unusual movement, he closed the curtains again, sat down on the bed, covered his face with his hands, and let out a cry like a small animal.

That dream I just had was so shameful.

How could I dream of such a strange thing? I actually did such a shameful thing with Ethan, and I took the initiative, not acting like a teacher at all.

It must be because Ethan always brings girls around in front of him, and it definitely isn’t because he has any weird thoughts about him.

Absolutely not.

On the other side, Ethan fell on the grass with his head on the ground, not daring to make a sound. After a long while, he dared to move his body only after hearing the sound of Professor Garrick's window opening and closing.

"This is really bad luck." Ethan groaned, adjusted his body position, lay on his back on the grass, rubbed his side that was hit by the low wall, and sighed with a sad face.

I could have been a happy old man, driving and chatting with a few bad friends every day, and occasionally going for a walk on the street with the chicks from the snake hospital next door to attract some hatred. My life would have been so comfortable.

Now, I don't know how I have attracted a bunch of girls. No matter whether I know them well or not, whether I have any interactions with them on weekdays, they all come to me one by one to lust after me. Can there still be some pure friendship?

It’s all my fault for having this charm that has nowhere to go.

"wrong!"

Ethan sat up in shock from his dying illness and thought of a blind spot.

It seems that there is another girl I know who definitely doesn't have any dirty thoughts about me.

Cassandra!

Although there were some misunderstandings between us before, and after they were resolved, she was not so friendly to me on weekdays, and even had a little prejudice. But she definitely did not have the slightest idea of ​​crossing the line with me, and the relationship between us was completely just ordinary friends, which was really great.

I’ve decided. As long as she doesn’t openly say that she hates me, I will be her friend for life!

No, not just friends, I want to become sworn brothers with her!

Ethan thought so, and without even noticing it, Cassandra's status in his heart had quietly risen.

After feeling that the discomfort in his waist had almost disappeared, Ethan finally stood up, cast an Disillusionment Charm on himself, and walked towards Hagrid's hut next to the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid was currently tending to his crossbow at the door, apparently he was going to patrol the Forbidden Forest.

It seemed that I had arrived at the right time, and I could just follow Hagrid into the forest. I would have to cast a Luminescent Charm to illuminate the Forbidden Forest, and it would be very embarrassing if I ran into Hagrid in the forest with a light spot.

Next to Hagrid, Fang, the unusually large hound, was quietly lying on the ground taking a nap. As Ethan got closer and closer, it seemed to sense something, and stood up, twitching its nose in Ethan's direction, wagging its tail and sticking out its tongue, and purring. It looked very excited, as if it would pounce on Ethan in the next second.

"Ya Ya, be quiet."

Hagrid scolded without even looking up, and Fang obediently stopped talking, whimpering and lying back on the ground, staring intently in Ethan's direction.

Ethan broke out in a cold sweat and silently distanced himself from Hagrid and the others.

Fortunately, I approached slowly. It seems that I have to keep my distance in the forbidden forest. Otherwise, if this big dog that I am very familiar with really discovered me and pounced on me, it would be a lot of fun.
