Days wandering around Hogwarts

Chapter 452 Huge Doubt
"Is Hogwarts fun?"

"Quite interesting."

Fleur spread a piece of baguette with jam and placed it on Charles' plate.

Lavender and Parvati on the other side saw how skilled and natural she was and couldn't help but look at Charles in surprise.

Charles ignored the old father's gaze from the professor's chair and ate and chatted with Fleur.

Harry sat on the other side of Charles, grinning from time to time, obviously recalling how Malfoy ate that horrible pie today.

After dinner, Charles and Fleur came to the Night Light Garden and found a place to sit down.

Fleur asked Charles, "You went to Erica's room last night?"

Charles replied, "She's a little hungry."

Furong asked again, "I heard that she bit your lips when she sucked your blood?"

Charles pretended to be calm and replied: "She was drunk that day."

Furong continued to ask: "Are you two kissing?"

"How is that possible!" Erica appeared and sat down on the other side of Charles. "I have a girlfriend, stop spreading rumors about me!"

After saying that, she looked at Fleur, grinned wickedly and said, "Hehehehe, if you are willing to be my girlfriend for a year during your year at Hogwarts, it's not impossible."

Fleur immediately shook her head and hid behind Charles.

Charles stabbed Erica in the head, then turned to Fleur and said, "It's true that she wants to taste you."

Erica rubbed her head and whispered to Charles, "Let's find a place where no one is. I have something to tell you."

Charles saw that she was serious, so he said, "Come with me, there is no one in my lab."

The students then saw Charles walking towards the castle with Fleur and Erica.

Various materials are being received in Charles' private laboratory, and the study on the top floor has been set up before the experiments begin.

Everyone sat down on the sofa, and Erica said seriously: "We are under the Imperius Curse."

Charles and Fleur's expressions suddenly turned serious.

Erica continued, "I slept last night after getting drunk and discovered something was wrong at breakfast."

"There are a few people among our Durmstrang students who I have never seen in school. Not long ago, I thought I knew them, but this morning I found out that I didn't know them at all."

This matter was a little unusual. She discovered this morning that other classmates were accustomed to the presence of those people just like she was before. She thought it was not a trivial matter and there was no one in the school with whom she could communicate, so she quietly came to find Charles.

Charles heard her talk about several people, including Helen and the two people who attacked Malfoy yesterday.

He initially thought it was a Death Eater pretending to be someone else, but the Death Eater who escaped from Azkaban should have been rescued by Lucius Malfoy and Barty Crouch Jr. There was no reason for the Death Eater to attack Malfoy and use such heavy hands.

Furong asked Erica: "Could it be that your principal has found external aid from other magic schools?"

Erica immediately said excitedly: "Impossible, our Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the school that taught a powerful wizard like Grindelwald, how could we find someone from outside to impersonate him!"

Every magic school has its own signature boss. Hogwarts has Dumbledore, Beauxbatons has Flamel, and Durmstrang naturally brings out Grindelwald to compete.

Students from every school are proud of their alma mater. Now Fleur's words look down on Durmstrang, Erica is very angry.

"Hmph!" Erica pulled Charles' arm, "Look, I'll take Charles away and suck him dry before I give him to you."

Furong said calmly, "You can apply some garlic sauce."

Charles immediately changed the subject and said to Erica, "Just pretend you don't know about this matter and wait and see what they are going to do."

He then said to Furong, "Don't tell Madame Maxime about this for now. It might reveal some clues and harm Erica."

"Let's wait until the competition. Report them if they participate." Fleur nodded. It was one thing to insult Durmstrang, but it was another to harm Erica.

She asked Charles: "Could it be done by your mysterious people in the UK?"

Charles didn't want them to get involved in this matter, so he said, "No, with Dumbledore here, he wouldn't dare to do anything."

He then said to Erica, "I hope you won't be discovered by them."

Erica shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter. No one usually pays attention to me anyway. If we hadn't communicated frequently and knew about the herbs here, you wouldn't have brought me along this time."

"I'll just be like usual. If no one pays attention to me, I won't pay attention to them either."

The bitterness revealed in her words made Furong feel emotional, as she had also been treated unfairly because of her appearance in the past.

After that, Furong took Erica away.

Charles returned to the dormitory and took out a red communication notebook.

He now has three communication notebooks, the purple one is for his own personal use, the red one is for internal use within the company, and there is one for Ministry of Magic employees only.

Chris Hemsworth's portrait was lit up, and Charles drew a Galleon and sent it over.

This Galleon was Charles' code for talking to him about the Death Eaters, and others thought they were talking about financial matters.

Chris quickly responded with “Want to give me a raise?”

Seeing that he was not in a convenient position at the moment, Charles casually responded with a few inspirational jokes.

More than an hour later, Chris sent a plug and we could talk about Voldemort.

Charles asked: "Are there any Death Eaters who have a deep hatred for Malfoy?"

Chris replied after two minutes: "Lucius Malfoy is a very good person. I have never heard of him making enemies with anyone before."

Charles asked again: "Draco Malfoy was attacked by a Durmstrang student with the Cruciatus Curse. What do you think?"

Chris immediately replied: "The headmaster of Durmstrang is a despicable person who can do anything dirty!"

Charles smiled. If he had not been betrayed by Karkaroff, he would not have been arrested and imprisoned in Azkaban for more than ten years. Now he could only change his appearance and hide his identity.

Chris continued, "As far as I know, the Dark Lord has not contacted Karkaroff."

"I suspect that Karkaroff may have guessed something from what happened on the night of the Quidditch World Cup final, and guessed that there is a relationship between the Malfoy family and the Dark Lord, so he wants to force some questions."

"Karkaroff sold us out in exchange for our freedom. The Dark Lord could tolerate him, but we cannot."

"I guess he must be panicking and worried about being found."

Charles thought what he said made sense, so he told him about Erica's incident and asked him, "Do you think those people are Death Eaters?"

Chris immediately replied: "I don't think so. No Death Eater would dare to play tricks in front of Dumbledore."

Charles responded: "That makes sense."

Chris added: "By the way, please check if there are any grammatical errors in these documents."

He then sent over several documents, and among the normal company reports, he included a monthly intelligence report that should have been given to Voldemort.

Charles read it and made some comments, asking him not to overemphasize his relationship with Fleur and others, so as to prevent Voldemort from using it to make trouble.

This also reminded him that Voldemort had many cases of threatening wizards with their families before.

So he told Chris to just talk more about his good relationship with the old man as before.
