Chapter 242 Miss Loila's Halloween (Part 2)
What am I doing?!
Loira herself didn't know when she left Miss Shiloh's office, nor when Luna dragged her to the other professors' offices, nor when she found herself with a few honey candies—
If I'm a professor too, why am I a student here? And why am I looking for Miss Shiro?
Alas!
The thought of Miss Hilo's appearance just now terrified Loila. She was exactly like Ms. Vida, and that oppressive, cold terror made Loila feel like she couldn't breathe.
She had only thought she was just playing around with Luna, but she never expected that Luna would actually be asking the professor for candy as Dumbledore had arranged—and she never expected that the first person to ask for it would be Miss Heero.
Miss Hilo's words were truly terrifying—Ms. Vida said the same thing back then! In Nurmengard, she said it would be her last Christmas—and it seems she was right.
That really was the last Christmas I ever spent in Nurmengard!
What is Miss Hero trying to do to me? What should I do—should I resist? Or tell Dumbledore—no, no!
You mustn't tell Dumbledore! He's—he's a real enemy! Miss Heero is Lord Grindelwald's woman—
Ugh! Being a spy is so hard! Lord Grindelwald, can you hear me? I don't want to do this anymore!
"Ah, Miss Lola and Miss Lovegood?"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Loila trembled slightly.
"Good evening, Professor McGonagall!" Luna cheerfully lifted the white sheet covering her. "Trick or treat!"
"Ah! That's a bit... scary." McGonagall chuckled softly, then took out a box of chocolate frogs from her pocket.
"Thank you, Professor!"
Seeing how easily Luna got the candy, Loila pursed her lips—she wasn't envious!
Well, I am a little envious. If I were as good at communicating with others as Luna, I would definitely not be misunderstood, right?
And it won't be that you don't want the candy—oh no—you don't want the candy! It's definitely not that you want it!
"Miss Lola, don't you want some candy?"
"Hmm."
Don't use this to test seasoned UMNO members!
Loila pursed her lips and whispered, "Um—no candy—trick or treat."
I actually said it out loud—how incredibly embarrassing!
Loila felt her face must be burning red—but if she didn't take it, Luna would definitely give her the candy again, and she was a mature adult.
How can you take candy from students?
So Professor McGonagall—were you scared?
Loila looked up at Professor McGonagall with pleading eyes.
'
McGonagall was silent for a few seconds, then gave a gentle smile: "Miss Lola is also...terrifying."
Why did you pause?!
Although it was a little awkward, Loila still got her chocolate frog.
Holding the chocolate frog, Loila actually felt a little happy—how could she not be scared at all when she had just been threatened with death by Miss Shiloh?
Perhaps he was used to being threatened in Durmstrang?
But at least I have some candy now, right? I shouldn't need to go find other professors anymore.
"Shall we go find Professor Hamilton?"
"Um?"
Am I not right here?
"I'm talking about Professor Peterson Hamilton," Luna blinked. "If you're talking about another Professor Hamilton."
She leaned close to Loila's ear and whispered, "I'll just call you Loila from now on."
Even if you say that, I still don't want to go! If Peterson recognizes me or something, my authority as an elder will be completely ruined!
Hey! Wait a minute!
Watching Luna leave quickly, Loila pursed her lips and jogged after her.
When she reached Peterson's office door, she saw Luna looking somewhat dejected and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems Peterson isn't here—that's great. No wonder we share the same surname, Hamilton; we both chose to escape Dumbledore's plans on Halloween.
Not having to face her cousin made Loila feel a lot more relaxed—even though he probably wouldn't recognize her—
Suddenly I feel a little sad.
"I didn't expect Professor Hamilton to be absent," Luna said, shaking her head. "What a pity."
"I also want to see if he still has any swarms of horseflies on him by Halloween."
Luna walked over to Loila and asked, "Which professor does Loila want to see?"
Loila wanted to go back to her office and lie down.
But seeing Luna's happy expression, Loila pursed her lips and said, "I—I'm fine with anything."
"Really?" Luna thought for a moment and said, "Then let's take a look at the Chocolate Frog."
"Did you know there were cards in here?"
Of course I know, I even bought one for 100 Galleons.
Loila scratched her pointed ears a little awkwardly. Although Luna's topic jumped around very quickly, it was still great that she didn't have to look for the professor or anything like that.
As she was thinking this, Luna had already opened her chocolate frog.
Loila had also tried Chocolate Frog and knew that this snack was dangerous. A chocolate frog that could jump once would jump out, and if it landed on the ground, the money was basically wasted.
What? You're saying people buy snacks just for the cards inside? Please—a snack is a snack, okay?
Cards and the like aren't anything special.
"Huh?" Luna exclaimed, causing Loila to instinctively look over.
"I got a card I've never seen before!"
A card I've never seen before?
Roy paused for a moment and carefully examined the card in Luna's hand.
Wait a minute—isn't this—isn't this Lord Grindelwald? (Note: There is no Grindelwald card in the original Harry Potter series.)
Gellert Grindelwald: The most notorious dark wizard of all time! Defeated by Albus Dumbledore in a legendary duel in 1945, he was imprisoned for life.
What does "infamous" mean, and what does "defeated" mean? It was clearly Dumbledore who cheated! Although I don't know how he cheated, it was definitely him who cheated!
Loila pursed her lips and looked closely, and was surprised to find a line of small print below: This card was added to the Chocolate Frog card at the suggestion of Albus Percival Dumbledore in 1991, and the probability of drawing it is about 0.01 percent.
Dumbledore, you damned bastard! Do you really have to humiliate Lord Grindelwald in these ways? And why does his name appear twice on Lord Grindelwald's card?!
Doesn't Dumbledore have his own cards?
"Does Loila want this card?"
"Hmm? I—"
I kind of want it—I really want it! This is Lord Grindelwald! Even if it's only one percent of him, I still want it so badly!
No, no—how could I possibly accept something a child collects?
But this is Lord Grindelwald—
Loila shook her head violently and looked at the Chocolate Frog in her hand. It seemed that she had no choice but to open it herself!
Taking a deep breath, Roy carefully opened the box of chocolate frogs.
"Hmm."
"Smack."
Loila threw the cards and the Chocolate Frog on the ground.
This kind of trash with Dumbledore's name on it should be trampled underfoot!
"Doesn't Royla want Headmaster Dumbledore's?" Luna casually picked up Dumbledore and wiped it clean.
Hey! Don't do that, it's dirty. I'm not talking about filth, I'm talking about Dumbledore!
"Indeed—I don't want it." Lori thought for a moment and said, then looked at Lord Grindelwald, who was being held in Luna's other hand.
"Sorry, Loila, I can't give you this card." Luna seemed to have read Loila's mind, and she chuckled softly, saying, "Grindelwald and Headmaster Dumbledore are a couple, you know!"
Stop spreading Mr. Lovegood's rumors! Besides, Miss Heero is at Hogwarts now! She'll be furious if she hears them!
But—but because of this rumor, will I not be able to get Lord Grindelwald's card?
Why don't you buy it yourself?
Will Luna give herself 1,000 Galon?
Seeing Loila deep in thought, Luna smiled gently. She picked up Grindelwald's card, looked at it, and then gently placed it in Loila's hand.
"Why?"
Under Loila's surprised gaze, Luna said softly, "Of course I'll give it to Loila."
"Trick or treat!"
Is this — Luna's — "prank"?
"So—" Luna whispered close to Loira's ear, "Where's my candy?"
"Ugh————"
"No—Luna, don't get so close!" Royla blushed and lowered her head, trying to figure out what to say, when she suddenly noticed the pendant on her chest emitting a faint blue light.
Wait, this seems to indicate that someone broke into my office.
Why would someone break into the office at a time like this?!
