Struggling to survive at Hogwarts

Chapter 347 Once Upon a Time

Listening to the argument downstairs gradually subside, Thea had her own guess;

Her suspicions were confirmed when she was allowed to come downstairs for a meal.

As a result, Thea, in a good mood, ate two more small cakes.

If it weren't for the strange looks from some people at the table, I could have easily finished that plate of small cakes!

Thea subtly tugged at her belly, though she still craved the taste of the little cake.

Just as she was savoring the moment, Harry brought up their upcoming itinerary.

"They should all be repaired by now, right?"

"Then it's time to start preparing for the next stop—"

As Harry spoke, he tapped the simple map on the wall with his hand.

"—Diagon Alley."

Hermione's murmured voice sounded beside Thea, and for a moment, Thea felt as if she were in a dream.

Harry believed her so easily?!

When did his authority in the Order of the Phoenix become so great?

So many doubts were so easily suppressed?

That said, wasn't Dumbledore basically robbed of his home?!

Eh!

She had said long ago that when a person dies, it's like a lamp going out.

I wonder what Dumbledore will think when he returns and sees his Order of the Phoenix transformed into the Saviors' League...

In the blink of an eye, many thoughts raced through Thea's mind, but when she came to her senses, she met Harry's gaze.

What a coincidence!

Oh, it seems... it's not a coincidence.

As the other person's gaze gradually shifted from probing and suspicion to calm and composed, and even extended to a slight smile, Thea couldn't help but curse inwardly:

Bah!

What a brilliant scholar!

Thea's daze lasted only a moment, but her eye contact with Harry was completely witnessed by everyone around them.

This resulted in the following scene:

Ron wanted to continue joking around, but when his eyes met the intense, fiery gaze between the two, he... silently touched his nose.

Help! It's not that he didn't try, it's just that the enemy was too strong!

Although Hermione was prepared for this, seeing the two exchanging affectionate glances in front of her, she still couldn't help but cough softly—

But she still didn't cough, because their gazes had already parted.

"Is...is there a problem, Hermione?"

Harry glanced at Mrs. Weasley's stiff face and Ginny's blank stare, sensing something was amiss, and turned his questioning gaze to Hermione.

Looking at Harry's innocent face, Hermione wished she could grab his ear and explain to him what it meant to be cautious in speech and action!

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Thea standing next to me, head down, trying to appear harmless.

Hermione: "…………"

Indeed, birds of a feather flock together!

The two of them are truly... in cahoots!

Hermione bit down hard, then said firmly, "It's nothing!"

Harry, completely bewildered: "???"

Thea, who looked down innocently, was bewildered.

What happened?

Thea, who considered herself intelligent, was unusually puzzled.

"Cough cough!"

Forcibly ignoring the ambiguous atmosphere between the two, Hermione cleared her throat and continued talking about Harry's plan.

"We're going to Diagon Alley next—"

For the next ten minutes, Thea was immersed in a world-saving plan (the ultimate version).

The plan sounds highly feasible, the personnel arrangements are reasonable, and the funding is ample…

Thea instinctively began analyzing the feasibility of the action plan, but after a while, something felt off—

until--

correct!

Speaking of which, shouldn't she also be labeled as "a ruthless killer with zero honesty and a former Death Eater defector"?

So! Such a! Secret! Plan! Why! Let her! Listen in!

Thea was in a state of confusion, unable to understand why the rescue team would believe her so easily.

Normally, shouldn't she have been awarded the "trustworthy" medal only after going through a series of perilous missions?

A glass of truth serum?

A few tears?

Plus a little imprisonment that's better than nothing?

They actually believed it?!

Voldemort at least used an "unbreakable oath"!

"Thea, what do you think of this plan?"

"I think there's an even simpler way to do this plan: I know a fairy—"

Thea's words came to an abrupt end!

What terrified her even more was the eager look in the eyes of the people around her!

"Thea?"

Thea turned her head and met Hermione's questioning gaze, which was full of "Why don't you continue?"

In a flash, Thea understood!

They must be testing her!

snort!

I wanted to test her using this method!

Think beautiful!

Don't you know that the most important paperwork she did within the Death Eaters back then was turning those wild imaginations into a practical plan!

At this moment, Thea revealed an unyielding air of professionalism that was not to be trifled with:

"I mean, I know someone who can make it easier for us to get into Gringotts!"

"First, we need to rendezvous with it..."

"Secondly..."

"Next step………"

"if…………"

"And then..."

Thea's resilience and adaptability honed from her time as a Death Eater made her shine at this moment!

Aside from some initial stumbles, Thea quickly regained her former feeling.

Faced with the questioning, she pondered for two seconds, then carefully crafted a point that the other party could not refute, and finally pressed her advantage by incorporating this point into the entire plan.

Every hurdle is difficult, but you'll overcome them all!

It wasn't until the midnight bells rang that the group looked up as if waking from a dream.

At the dining table, Mrs. Weasley raised the corners of her mouth and pointed to the food on the table:

"Would you like to take a break?"

"Of course!"

Thea didn't realize what was happening until Mrs. Weasley had piled the plate up into a small mountain.

Didn't she just break up Harry and the others' plans and then put them back together?

Was Mrs. Weasley really going to be so subtly sarcastic, trying to embolden her to death?!

Thea angrily distanced herself from Mrs. Weasley.
