"Ha!"
The students around were stunned by this bold move.
They let out a gossipy exclamation!
It's a pity.
The instant before the lips touch.
Ethan, reacting with lightning speed, dodged the attack by tilting his head.
It barely touched the fine hairs on my face, like a dragonfly skimming the water.
It made Ethan feel itchy.
Now, Ethan's unchanging, gentle smile was gone.
Instead, there was obvious surprise.
It became a bit more vibrant.
Ethan: "You...you put poison in your mouth? Impressive!"
Hibiscus:
'
'
Furong's smug smile instantly vanished.
"you!"
She clenched her teeth, unable to utter a word.
All I could do was stomp my feet in frustration.
"Hmph! Just you wait! Next time, don't think you can get away with it so easily!"
This seemingly coquettish "threat" was uttered.
With a flick of her silver hair, Furong boarded the carriage without looking back.
His back view exuded arrogance.
"
...What a courageous girl!
Ethan scratched his face and sighed.
At this time.
Suddenly, I felt an extremely sharp gaze.
The hairs on his back stood on end.
Turning his head, he met Luna's smiling blue eyes.
I don't know why.
Ethan always felt that there was a bright red "danger" character hovering above his head.
at the same time.
Without the headmaster leading the team, Durmstrang and his group silently boarded the ship and left.
Viktor Krum stood at the bow of the ship.
Gazing at Hogwarts as it recedes into the distance.
His eyes were deep and profound.
"Shouldn't you say goodbye to Ethan, Viktor?"
A classmate who was familiar with the student stepped forward and asked.
Krum withdrew his gaze, shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "I look far too pathetic right now."
I have no face to face Ethan.
Not only did they fail to achieve their long-cherished wish when they left—to defeat Ethan.
even.
Even Ethan's subordinates couldn't compare.
"To choose to flee in the face of the enemy for the sake of so-called 'victory' is truly shameful!"
Krum murmured.
The image of waking up from a coma flashed through my mind.
What came into view was a pillar of light that pierced through the sky and the earth.
Krum: "Even though I didn't get to fight Ethan, I knew I was destined to lose..."
'
"Viktor..."
'
The classmate was surprised.
Viktor Krum, a Quidditch genius whose skills are in no way inferior.
He has always been extremely arrogant.
Let alone admitting defeat voluntarily.
Even those he considers his rivals are few and far between!
It seems this "Ethan Vincent" is really something else.
The student thought with admiration.
ponder for a moment.
Krum's eyes hardened.
We can't keep going down this path of despair!
Since Ethan is the leader of Hogwarts.
Then let him lead Durmstrang!
Let's prepare in advance for the future crisis in the magical world!
"Leading the weak"—I'd never thought of that before... Ethan, you've really taught me a lesson."
Krum thought admiringly.
then.
He turned around with an air of authority.
Look at the students whose mood was low because of the principal's escape.
A thunderous roar erupted!
It seems like only yesterday that fourth grade was over.
The red train rumbled once more, heading towards the former Cross Station in London, England.
in the carriage.
Luna wore a gentle smile.
He cast the eighteenth cleansing spell on Ethan's face.
They successfully tormented the great demon king Ethan to the point of despair.
The Weasley twins were having a heated discussion.
Who will be their "annual" Defense Against the Dark Arts professor next?
Harry, on the other hand, saw his wizard chess set defeat the opposing king for the first time.
He leaned back in his chair with a sigh of relief.
Then, to my horror, I discovered...
The Wizard's Chess set left by Ethan.
There's even a second stage!
A new round of torment has begun.
Although a new Dark Lord is about to rise, this is not the case for these students who still harbor "pure folly".
Nothing is happier than a holiday.
But on the other side...
Ministry of Magic.
The atmosphere, however, was not so relaxed and harmonious.
Minister's Office.
Minister Scringer stared intently at the photographs spread out on the table.
His brows were furrowed.
Upon closer inspection.
These photos are all about "Mr. Lamp" and Ethan Vincent.
"Knock knock."
There was a knock on the door.
Two Ministry of Magic members pushed open the door and entered.
One of them is the newly appointed captain of the Auror, Connie Rozier.
The other one had a fierce-looking face.
It doesn't match her gorgeous outfit at all.
Captain Connie was about to say hello.
But one glance.
I caught a glimpse of a photo of the minister's desk lying limply.
He exclaimed with delight, "Are those photos of Mr. Ethan Vincent? I have a stack of them at home!"
talking.
He then chuckled foolishly.
"
'
The office was silent.
Connie: *sobs*
Until the official who came later slowly stepped out of the shadows.
He gave an elegant bow, breaking the awkward silence: "Coban Yaxley at your service, Minister Scrinker."
He said that.
A man named "Yaxley".
His gaze, however, was alert and quick, rapidly scanning his surroundings.
He seemed to be trying to figure out why the minister had summoned him this time.
"Um."
Minister Scrinjee led the way.
His gaze was sharp and fixed on the two men.
He slowly began to speak: "Mad-Eye Moody will be stepping down as professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts next semester."
"In order to strengthen the protection and supervision of Hogwarts, I intended to recommend our personnel to Dumbledore."
"But surprisingly... Headmaster Dumbledore refused."
Upon hearing this...
Connie was still lost in thought.
What business is it of theirs to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts?
The man with the fierce look on his face spoke up: "That's a bit strange. Leaving aside the fact that this semester just ended, Headmaster Dumbledore was able to find a successor so quickly..."
'
"You know, this position is like it's cursed; every person in charge encounters all sorts of accidents, and nobody wants to take it anymore."
"Moreover, even if someone is chosen, the position should be given to the Ministry of Magic."
talking.
He grinned, a serpentine smile.
It clearly means flattery.
For some reason, Connie felt a little awkward.
He couldn't help but frown.
"Yes, that's a good summary." Minister Scrimgeour nodded and continued, "What's even stranger is that when I asked Dumbledore who would succeed him..."
His attitude was ambiguous.
He paused for a moment.
Minister Scrinzer pushed the photos on the table forward.
He said sharply, "Considering all the events that have occurred this semester, I suspect there's collusion between Dumbledore, Mr. Lamp, and Ethan Vincent!"
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.
When this passage ends.
Not just Connie and the Aurors in the office.
Even Yaxley, whose expression was always unfathomable, stared wide-eyed in astonishment!
—The greatest white wizard of the century, Albus Dumbledore.
And the new savior, Ethan Vincent.
Is he connected to the suddenly rising and terrifying "Mr. Lamp"?!
How is this possible?!
Connie immediately blurted out, "Are you sure you haven't misunderstood something?!"
"How could Ethan, such a bright, righteous, kind, and gentle person, as harmless as a lamb... possibly be involved with evil forces!"
Everyone:
'
'
The first two sentences are fine.
Isn't what follows a bit outrageous?
You used an 800-meter filter, didn't you?
Minister Scrimgeour: "When Ethan was a sophomore, the Chamber of Secrets mystery happened at Hogwarts, and this year, while he's hosting the Goblet of Fire, Mr. Lamp is here again..."
'
"Ethan is always present whenever Mr. Lamp appears."
"Moreover, every time Mr. Lamp attacks, Ethan's approval rating skyrockets!"
Connie said urgently, "But based on this alone..."
Minister Scringer interrupted, "More importantly..."
He frowned and rubbed his temples, his head throbbing with pain.
"With such creative and unorthodox magic, is it possible for two people to suddenly appear in the magical world at once?"
Connie was taken aback: "Oh, this..."
'
Everyone fell silent.
Speechless.
indeed.
The aesthetics are so consistent, and the level of the evil is so profound that it seems to lead straight to the underworld.
Let alone two people appearing at the same time.
There hasn't been a third person like this in the entire history of magic over the past thousand years!
Yaxley thought to himself, "So you mean...."
'
Minister Scrimgeour nodded: "That's right. Although the conclusion is outrageous, after ruling out all other possibilities, this is the only one left. That is—"
"Ethan Vincent is Mr. Lamp's apprentice!"
"And Headmaster Dumbledore tacitly approved of all of this."
"6
'
After a few seconds of silence.
Connie raised her hand: "Huh? I thought you meant Ethan and 'Mr. Lamp' are the same person?"
"It can be done with an aging agent, and Mr. Lamp always wears a mask..."
"
"Ha," Minister Scrimgeour scoffed, "Miss Rozier, you're dreaming. How could that be possible?"
"Does Ethan, at such a young age, dare to declare the end of the world?"
"Don't forget, he's still just a child!"
Connie: "Oh, I see..."
'
Inside the office.
Silence fell for a moment.
Until an Auror, trembling, raised his hand and said in a tearful voice, "Um, I'm so sorry, I suddenly remembered that my mother back home is unwell and needs someone to take care of her..."
Can I resign?
What?
Fighting Dumbledore, Ethan, and Mr. Lamp?
I?
Minister Scringer:
'
'
"Never let me see you again!"
"Thank you, Minister!"
The Auror scrambled out of the office.
It seems he's destined to live off his pigs, cattle, and sheep.
"6
'
Minister Scrinje let out a heavy sigh.
He rubbed his forehead vigorously.
It seems that things are different now than when he first took office.
I look ten years older.
May you meet Ethan when you go out, having killed Fudge in one day!
Finally, he said in a deep voice, "I have a preliminary suspicion that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor next semester is very likely the disguised 'Mr. Lamp'!"
"Miss Rosier, Mr. Yaxley, you are both outstanding members. I will be sending you to Hogwarts..."
'
"Do everything in your power to find weaknesses in the new professor and in Ethan Vincent!"
Connie froze.
His clenched fingers dug deep into his flesh.
He gritted his teeth and slowly nodded.
The minister's orders cannot be disobeyed.
Then she would do everything in her power to find evidence of Ethan's innocence!
Connie's eyes sparkled.
For the indelible image of the hero in our hearts.
After giving the instructions...
The two then left the office.
Yaxley fell back one step.
His fleshy face suddenly broke into a twisted grin, which he couldn't suppress: "Ethan Vincent... the terrifying Death Eaters are coming for you...!"
On the left arm, hidden in the cuff.
It was a Dark Magic Mark!
Cobban Yaxley, a senior official at the Ministry of Magic.
His true identity is Voldemort's most loyal henchman!
"Ah... Lord Dark Lord, is your era finally about to begin...? Your loyal servant will surely remove all obstacles and pave the way for you!"
In my mind.
A fierce glint flashed in Yaxley's eyes.
