Chapter 395 Mrs. Maxim's Kindness
"Ah—Loila—how about we call it a day?"
Lupin scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and looked at the girl who had been holding her wand for a while without doing anything, saying, "Isn't it getting a bit late now?"
"Okay—okay." Lupin wasn't the only one feeling awkward; Loila felt extremely embarrassed too.
This is the third time I've studied this—why haven't I made any progress at all? Luna mentioned it the other day—but I still subconsciously think the worst of things.
Loila sighed softly, looking at Lupin with a hint of self-reproach.
"It's not your fault, Loila—" Seemingly sensing Loila's self-blame, Lupin scratched his face and said, "It must be a problem with my teaching—"
"Perhaps I'm not that good at—the Guardian Charm?"
"Because another student—for some reason—hasn't made much progress either," Lupin muttered, then sighed.
Has the other student made no progress either?
Loila raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, and much of her distress vanished instantly. After all, her purpose in learning the Patronus Charm was simply to learn it before Mr. Potter, so that she could disguise herself as him and secretly travel with Karkaroff to some secluded places.
Then we'll just take down Karkaroff.
Although I haven't made any progress myself, if Mr. Potter hasn't either, doesn't that mean that I'm actually doing pretty well?
Mr. Lu, you did a great job! I don't know if there's something wrong with your teaching methods, but anyway, you did a great job, please keep it up!
Loila, whose mood had improved considerably, smiled and said, "It's alright—it's alright, Remus."
"There's no need to rush this matter."
"Is that so?" Lupin looked at Loila, who was laughing for some reason, and felt a little strange.
Did I just say something that sounded like a joke?
Lupin looked at Loila with a puzzled expression. The two walked towards the auditorium. It was already dinner time, and they had wasted an entire afternoon of time and energy.
Although Loila mostly just stood there waving her wand like an idiot —
Hmm—I can't do this again next time—after all, I'll never learn the Guardian Charm if I do this—Loila bit her lip and thought for a few seconds, then a different idea came to her mind.
Maybe I don't really need to learn the Guardian Charm, do I?
For example—you can pretend that you have already learned the Guardian Charm—after all, the Guardian Charm is just a faint silver light, isn't it?
Karkaroff definitely won't learn the Patronus Charm either. As for the reason—Loila heard it from Mr. Lupin: only wizards with righteous hearts can learn the Patronus Charm, while evil wizards will only cause their wands to backfire.
Karkaroff's heart must be nothing but darkness—and even the righteous Miss Loila couldn't learn the Guardian Charm, so how could the evil Karkaroff learn it?
Absolutely not!
So it seems unnecessary for me to actually learn the Guardian Charm—maybe using something to disguise myself wouldn't be a bad idea—
Lloyd has been busy with a magic circle project lately. This magic circle can solve problems related to his alibi, the details of the third match, and now it can even be used to fabricate information about the Guardian Angel Spell.
Loila couldn't help but let out a sly smile; she really was a genius!
"Good evening, Professor Hamilton, Professor Lupin."
"Huh?!" Loila, who was suddenly called, quickly looked up and was a little surprised to see a rather tall figure.
That was Mrs. Maxim. She looked at the two of them with a smile, and then finally sat down slowly.
"Good evening, Mrs. Maxim." Lupin nodded gently and said, "Did you enjoy dinner at Hogwarts?"
"Of course," Mrs. Maxim chuckled. "The French cuisine at Hogwarts is quite good."
"While it may not be as good as Beauxbatons, I can taste their dedication." She said, gracefully raising her glass and taking a sip.
She glanced around as she spoke, then suddenly lowered her voice: "It is precisely because of this dedication that I have some things I would like to discuss with the two Hogwarts professors—"
Let's exchange ideas?
Loila suddenly remembered something. Wasn't this the time before—the time she went to gather intelligence?
When I last met Mrs. Maxim in the auditorium, she seemed to have asked me some questions about the first match—although I wasn't very clear about the specifics at the time, she must have revealed quite a bit of useful information, right?
Is Mrs. Maxim here to repay a debt of gratitude?!
But it seems—it's not very meaningful—Loila hasn't been paying much attention to the competition; her mind is all on killing—knowing the details of the competition probably won't help her kill anyone.
After all, why would anyone choose to kill someone during a competition? Unless there are special circumstances, the level of patrol during a competition seems rather...
"Is that so?" Mr. Lupin seemed quite interested, and he also lowered his voice, saying, "I heard that the second match is being handled by Beauxbatons Academy, isn't that right?"
"I wonder if Hogwarts has a suitable venue?"
Mr. Lupin—how professional! Hearing Lupin's question, Loira felt for a moment that she didn't recognize him anymore. He seemed so gentle and refined, yet his voice was so mature—
Are you Mr. Lupin? Could it be that Dumbledore's nonsense is true?
Loila glanced at Lupin warily, almost instinctively.
"There's a suitable venue, isn't there?" Mrs. Maxim shrugged. "After all, Black Lake is quite large, isn't it?"
Black Lake?
Is it in the water?
Is it really that cold in the water? Although it's only autumn now—but autumn at Hogwarts is already quite chilly.
Loila couldn't help but feel a little sorry for those who had to participate in the second match.
I wonder if Miss Hibiscus and Miss Emma will get cold?
Wait a minute—even if I don't support Durmstrang, I should at least support Hogwarts, right? Why is the only student I can think of being Beauxbatons?
It's definitely because they're related to me in some way, right?
One is Miss Shiloh's sister, and the other is also a half-Veele, right? — That should be it —
"Black Lake?" Lupin nodded knowingly. "Looks like the students need to get ready for their diving."
“Diving is far from enough—” Mrs. Maxim chuckled softly and slowly rose to her feet. “Perhaps they also need wisdom.”
After saying that, she left. It was obvious that she hadn't actually come there to eat.
"Wisdom?" Lupin stared thoughtfully at the contents of the plate, and nodded slightly after a few seconds of thought.
"Loila, do you have any clues?"
Are you asking me?
All I know is that killing someone in the water would be a bit troublesome.
