Struggling to survive at Hogwarts

Chapter 322 Solution

As Thea finished speaking, the room fell silent once again.

Seeing that the wound was starting to congeal, Thea stabbed it again.

If only Voldemort had used modern blood-drawing equipment…

Furthermore, if the blood is released like this without any preservation methods, can it still be used tomorrow?

Or is it that science has no jurisdiction over this magical world?

Thea's head was spinning more and more, and her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. She could only remind herself not to close her eyes by letting her mind wander.

"You hit Little Barty?"

"He spread rumors in private, disturbing people's peace of mind. Shouldn't he be punished?"

Thea put the hat on with a clear conscience.

She understood it from the very beginning.

Killing Dumbledore was her achievement, and also Voldemort's achievement. This achievement secured her position among the Death Eaters and further solidified Voldemort's morale within the Death Eaters.

Therefore, Voldemort could never admit that Dumbledore was not dead!

In other words, anyone who says Dumbledore is not dead is questioning Voldemort's authority.

For such people, Voldemort only has one course of action—kill.

[It's such a pity, if only Barty hadn't made such a big deal out of this—]

[If it were... you would see their bodies tonight.]

[It really is true love, they can't bear to kill him even after all this.]

[Not true love,]

Thea retorted expressionlessly.

[It was the quality of the Death Eaters that prevented Voldemort from killing Barty Jr. If he did, who would do the work? Lucius?]

[…If Uncle Lucius heard what you said about her, he would cry…]

[This is not an evaluation, but a fact.]

[To be honest, sometimes I really suspect that the Malfoy family are actually undercover agents planted by the Order of the Phoenix among the Death Eaters.]

[The phrase "malicious intentions turned into good deeds" perfectly describes them.]

The brief conversation cheered Thea up, and soon Voldemort spoke again.

"So... Thea, what do you think we should do now?"

Voldemort laughed.

Thea looked at the blood in the cup with unwavering eyes, her tone sincere.

"Strike while the iron is hot and kill him!"

Thea's answer was clearly taken to heart by Voldemort, because the next day, Thea learned that Voldemort planned to use her engagement party as an excuse to summon the Death Eaters back.

Thea was having afternoon tea when she heard the news, with Gella, who had just returned from St. Mungo, beside her.

How are their injuries? Are they almost healed?

"They're all young people with good physical condition. How could they not be better after being given a bunch of Galleons worth of potions?"

Gella's words implied that she felt sorry for those potions, which Thea found amusing. She simply didn't reply, instead flipping the book pages over her face and taking a nap.

Gella was amused by Thea's actions, but didn't want to bother Thea.

Looking at Thea, Gella slowly fell silent.

She heard about Thea hitting someone.

I've also heard that Bella went crazy and slapped Thea one day.

She came over to comfort Thea.

But looking at Thea's calm expression, she suddenly felt that even the most beautiful words in the world seemed pale at this moment.

She silently pushed a box of ointment towards him; it was something she had taken from Professor Snape, and the exquisite bottle indicated that it was one of his masterpieces.

"Don't be sad, it will all be over."

"……Um."

After a long while, a muffled reply came from under the book.

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Not long after receiving news that Voldemort planned to gather the Death Eaters for a final battle, that group of "talented individuals" brought Thea an expected "defeat."

On the table, freshly brewed honey tea was steaming, and a gentle breeze was blowing outside the window. But Thea had no choice but to sit properly in front of the table and listen to the stammering complaints of a group of defeated soldiers.

"That bastard Lovegood..."

"Can't even act well..."

"Delaying it won't help..."

"Even if you only have five more minutes... I'm sure I can catch Potter!"

Only after hearing the last part did Thea look up at this "talented person".

Damn it, in just ten minutes, the boasts they made in front of her were enough to feed Hogwarts for half a year.

Thea was internally ranting, but outwardly remained calm, until the leader lowered his voice and cautiously gestured a number to her.

Only then did she smile.

"It's just that Potter got away again..."

After a few polite words, Thea's savings were much fuller.

Hmm... what kind of subtle writing style should we use to describe the "failure" of this group of talented people in front of Voldemort?

Thea fell into deep thought.

But soon, Thea had no time to ponder.

Lucius brought her some "good news"!

This "good news" undoubtedly excited him so much that the news came out of his mouth in a fragmented and disjointed manner.

"Greyborough and his men have caught someone..."

"Not one less!"

"They succeeded...and I succeeded too!"

"All... Malfoy Manor!"

"Come here quickly!"

From the fragmented words and the other person's extremely excited tone, Thea could easily guess what had happened.

Potter and his friends were captured and taken to Malfoy Manor.

This was the worst news she had heard recently, bar none!

But she still had to find a way to break the deadlock.

If Dumbledore notices that she isn't making any move, he will definitely come out!

What she wants...

Thea's heart skipped a beat when she thought of a certain possibility.

She forced herself to remain calm and began to think about how to break the deadlock.

Known characters: Potter trio (tentative), Lucius, Narcissa, Greyback and other Death Eaters, and...

Bella!

She's Narcissa's sister, she'll definitely hear the news too!

Lucius, honor, power, cowardice...

Greyback, a werewolf, greedy, reckless...

Bella, loyal, hot-tempered, honorable, reckless...

What happens when two reckless men meet?

What if we add a cowardly person who drags us down?

What if she were to add fuel to the fire from the sidelines?

Just before stepping out from behind the fireplace, Thea had a general idea in mind.
