Hogwarts becomes host

173. Remove the firewood from under the cauldron



Iron Triangle was speechless after these words.

Yes, Elaine saved her life from death this time, but what about next time?

Who can guarantee that they can escape from danger every time?

And Elaine is really crying now, wanting to dig a hole to harm others, but ends up falling into the hole herself.

She is already worried about Daphne's reaction after knowing that she drank the poison herself. She is even more worried about selling Hermione and Harry in the future.

"Anyway, Professor Slughorn will prepare the potion," Daphne cleared her throat and continued to take out several letters. "Professor Dumbledore will help me deal with the follow-up events. Mr. Lupin also replied. The Fike family will arrange everything, I just need to give birth to the child with peace of mind."

"How could Professor Dumbledore agree to such a ridiculous thing?" Ron scratched his head and said a little collapsed. "You are only ten or twelve years old. This is too exaggerated."

Elaine pressed her temples with a headache. This was probably a warning from the old principal, telling her not to take things too far. He really knew where his Achilles heel was. Rather than trying to dissuade or notify, letting Daphne make a fuss would make Elaine more happy. Lotus on the heart.

Well, it was probably just a bad, warning joke.

Daphne won't take it seriously. I shouldn't. Please don't.

"That's true originally." Daphne nodded and admitted, "However, special times require special methods, just like underage wizards can use magic when their lives are in danger─"

"No, wait a minute, that." Harry said dumbfounded, "I think it will be fine as long as Elaine survives. Why is there such a strange conclusion? I should do my best to protect her."

“Eggs cannot be put in the same basket, everything must be done with a back-up.”

"But, but" Hermione still wanted to try to stop it. This thing was completely beyond common sense and she couldn't accept it. "This is wrong. I mean, this kind of thing is just to continue the family. This kind of thinking is wrong. Children should be two people who love each other."

"Sometimes sacrifice is necessary." Daphne looked at Hermione innocently. "Besides, I love her. Do you doubt my feelings for Elaine?"

"It's not me, I just mean Elaine," Hermione's face was red, her face was embarrassed, and she hesitated in her defense. After hesitating for a long time, she swallowed the "Elaine doesn't love you" that came to her mouth back into her stomach. "Elaine, she, she probably doesn't want to see you sacrifice like this."

"I don't want to see her die either, but the reality is so cruel, someone has to endure it."

"Anyway, if it doesn't work, I object."

"Why does this have nothing to do with you?" Daphne looked at Hermione solemnly. "Wait a minute, is it possible that you also want to be pregnant with Elaine's child?"

The knock was the sound made by Ron taking a step back in surprise and hitting his head against the wall.

Harry hid his face. He couldn't stand it anymore. There was something wrong with Daphne's brain. This is what is called love making people stupid.

Elaine, on the other hand, had just gotten rid of her restraints. She tried her best to reduce her presence and planned to run away later. She decided to go straight to Dumbledore and threatened to burn his beard to take back the inexplicable permission.

"I, how could I possibly think that I was worried about you two's health?" Hermione growled, a little broken. "You are only twelve years old. Please have some common sense."

"It doesn't matter, if Elaine dies, I have no intention of continuing to live." Daphne calmly said the terrible decision, "It doesn't matter what happens to my body, as long as Elaine - the bloodline of the Shafiq family continues, I’m satisfied.”

"But, but"

Hermione was speechless and didn't know how to refute the words.

"Ahem, um, I think you're thinking too much, Daphne." Harry tried to smooth things over, "Elaine is still alive, right? Look at the bed."

The person on the bed disappeared at some point. The four of them looked up and saw Elaine standing by the open window with her feet halfway up, looking like she was ready to jump out of the window and escape.

Harry's back was sweating. The timing was so perfect. Elaine looked at him as if she wanted to give him to Voldemort.

"You actually plan to escape?" Hermione was shaking with anger. She started to take out her wand. Daphne also raised her wand to cast a spell, but Elaine immediately climbed over the window and slipped away. The second floor was not high for wizards. "We're arguing about you here, but you ran away, stop right here."

Only a fool would really stop.

"She can't talk now" Ron whispered, but Hermione and Daphne were already chasing after him. "Um, man, should we follow?"

"No, I went to Quidditch practice." Harry wiped his face, trying to convince himself that everything just now was an illusion. "Say sorry to Elaine for me."

In the end, the matter came to nothing. Elaine relied on the Disillusionment Charm to successfully evade the search of Hermione and Daphne, and entered the principal's office to find Dumbledore. While coughing up blood, she had a heart-to-heart talk with the principal, and finally got Dumbledore to cancel. license.

Of course, she was also severely punished by Hermione, Daphne, Professor McGonagall who came after hearing the sound, and Madam Pomfrey.

***

As the days passed, Elaine was discharged from the hospital long ago. Since the second attack had not yet occurred, the uneasy atmosphere of panic in the castle slowly dissipated and was replaced by a large number of live bats and giant pumpkin lantern carvings to remind everyone. Halloween is coming.

School life seemed to have returned to calm. Everyone was talking about Halloween and the upcoming Quidditch game with great interest, as if they had forgotten about Lockhart and the heirs of Slytherin. However, the Ministry of Magic still sent several Aurors to the castle. Riddle became increasingly unhappy.

He was very dissatisfied with Elaine's cancellation of the attack on Halloween and seemed a little agitated. However, he also admitted that with the Aurors and professors continuing to patrol, the operation became a little difficult, especially after Elaine revealed the basilisk incident. .

"Even without me, they will check out that it is basilisk venom." Elaine explained to him, "If you are bored, you can use another way to scare them on Halloween - for example, how about a crime notice?"

"Crime Preview" Riddle seemed to be intrigued. "Tell me carefully."

"We announced at the banquet who the next target of the attack will be. In addition to creating panic, if we successfully attack the opponent, we can disgrace the Aurors and professors. The effect is even better than a normal attack," Elaine said. , "Of course, it is also more difficult than usual attacks."

"Nothing is difficult in front of Lord Voldemort." Riddle said with a confident smile.
