Chapter 199 They're actually family.
It really happened—it actually came!
Roy lowered her head, her pointed ears twitching rapidly up and down—she had thought that at most Lady Vida's men would come to assassinate her—but she never expected—she never expected that they would actually come to Hogwarts!
Dengdengdengdengburido—what are you doing?! Aren't they...aren't they UMNO? Arrest them!—why did you let them in?!
Although I am also a member of the UMNO party—but—Loila felt her head was in complete chaos, her mind filled with nothing but thoughts of escaping.
What? You're saying it's possible she just happened to be a professor at Hogwarts?
Please, didn't you see that murderous look in her eyes just now?!
Loila was certain that's how Ms. Vida had looked at her back then! Just like she'd been stared at a parasite!
This—this new Professor Rozier—is definitely up to no good! Could she poison me? Or will she attack me with a curse?
Does this mean I'm going to cast an Avada Kedavra curse on myself right after the opening ceremony?!
"What's wrong, Professor Hamilton?" Hagrid asked in a low voice, looking at the trembling Loila with a puzzled expression. "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No—no—I—" Loila's social anxiety, which had improved considerably in Hagrid's presence, relapsed.
"Maybe my cousin is just a little nervous." At that moment, a gentle voice came, making Loila tremble again.
"Cousin--cousin--cousin?" She raised her head slightly and looked at the person who greeted her.
It was Mr. Peterson Hamilton, whose face now showed no trace of the previous hostility, but rather a gentle demeanor.
"That's right." He lowered his voice and said, "I'm sorry, cousin, I didn't investigate properly beforehand."
"Investigate—clearly?" Loila's mind didn't quite process what she was seeing.
"Hmm." He nodded and said, "Do you remember our conversation before?"
"At the time, I thought my cousin was some kind of scammer," he said, giving an apologetic smile. "I only found out after asking around."
"Your cousin's father is Philip Hamilton, right?"
"Hmm—hmm!" Loila pursed her lips and nodded. "But—but I've never heard of—I've heard of Daddy having—"
"Uncle Philip is naturally carefree; he probably just didn't think of us," Peterson chuckled, seemingly unconcerned. "But—you are his daughter—"
"Then according to the family tree, you are indeed my cousin." Peterson said, bowing slightly. "I apologize for my previous rudeness."
"Hmm."
Roy looked at the scene before her with a bit of embarrassment—she was still a little confused—according to Peterson—was she actually a member of the British Hamilton family?
But Dad never mentioned them.
Could this be some kind of new type of scam?
Loila instinctively became a little wary, and she shrank back behind Hagrid.
"I—I don't have much money—"
Peterson was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then shook his head with a wry smile: "Cousin, you've misunderstood."
"I'm not a liar." With that, he took a piece of parchment from his pocket and placed it on the table in front of Hagrid.
"Cousin, you can take a look at this Gringotts deposit slip."
"————" Loila peeked out slightly and glanced at Hagrid.
"————"
Hagrid scratched his beard and then picked up the parchment to read it.
"By Merlin!" he exclaimed after glancing around, his voice immediately drawing the attention of the young wizards and professors present.
"Hagrid?" Professor McGonagall's voice came through.
Hagrid quickly put on a smile: "Ah—it's nothing, it's nothing—it's just this one—"
"Professor Hagrid?" Just as Hagrid was about to say something, Peterson stopped him.
"It's best if too many people don't know about this."
"Hahaha—sorry, sorry—"
What are you doing?! Loila's lips twitched, and she lowered her head somewhat awkwardly, gently waving her wand to take the parchment into her hand.
Is there anything on this that's so surprising?!
"By Merlin!" Even Loila couldn't help but exclaim when she saw what was written on it, but fortunately her voice wasn't loud, so only Peterson and Hagrid heard it.
Hearing Loila's surprised voice, Peterson smiled and said, "This is my personal compensation to you, my cousin."
"Please forgive me—and believe me, I really am your cousin."
"I—believe it!" Loila immediately looked up at Peterson, her blue eyes filled with disbelief. Let alone her cousins, I would nod if you said you were Dumbledore!
The reason is simple—this slip shows Gringotts' transfer record, in which Mr. Peterson Hamilton transferred a full five thousand Galleons into Miss Lois Hamilton's account!
Five thousand Galleons!
What an enormous sum of money! Loila's Dark Magic Array business has never made this much money before!
Five thousand Galleons!
Loila felt like she could sleep with them until she died!
Could this amount of money even buy Hogwarts? If I could buy Hogwarts, would that old man Dumbledore finally be kicked out?
*Ahem*—Realizing her own arrogance, Loila coughed lightly and said, "This money—this money is a bit too much!"
Yes, that's right, too many!
Loila was a little scared—she had learned in Durmstrang that there is no such thing as unprovoked kindness, only unprovoked evil—aside from your friends and family, no one would be kind to you for no reason! Of course, this excludes Lord Grindelwald and Muller—
"It's alright," Peterson chuckled. "This amount of money is nothing to the Hamilton family."
If you say that, then I'll really accept it?
"Cousin, no matter what you've been through—I want to tell you now." Peterson said, taking off his glasses, revealing sincere eyes just like Loy Shu's.
"The Hamilton family welcomes you back anytime."
"Hmm!"
Although—although she had never met anyone from the Hamilton family before—Loila felt a genuine warmth at that moment!
Especially—especially since I have 1,000 Galleons in my hand—that's 1,000 Galleons!
Loila's mind was completely blank except for the shock of those five thousand Galleons!
Excuse me.
Just then, a clear, cold female voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Loila's immersion in joy. She subconsciously clenched the bill in her hand as if it were five thousand Galleons.
But when she looked up, that joy vanished without a trace.
Those were purple eyes, and a cold face.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Loila Hamilton."
I didn't sense you were happy at all!
