116. Hermione’s opinion (modified)
"Elaine" Hermione, who had just come out of the room, looked at Elaine who was sitting on the sofa in a daze in surprise, "Why did you get up so early today? Why didn't you sleep all night?"
"It's okay, I'm just thinking about something."
Elaine rubbed her bloodshot eyes. As the time for shopping with the Weasley family approached, she became more and more anxious. She knew clearly that Adair was planning to cause trouble in Diagon Alley, but she was powerless to stop it. Feelings, as well as various thoughts and reflections, made her irritable and confused.
The education he received in the past told Du Chen that he should abide by the law, maintain order, and limit his own desires, but Adair laughed at it as Muggle brainwashing; because Muggles themselves have no power, they find ways to make rules and require everyone to abide by them. Protect their own rights and interests.
They are all wizards, and they still cling to Muggle values. Why should they deliberately limit their own power?
What's wrong with taking revenge on Death Eaters? Why waste time by talking down to Muggles?
There is a limit if you really want to restrict it. If you give in and feel wronged, your opponent will only look down on you even more.
What Adair said was right. Du Chen didn't know, maybe he was indeed wrong somewhere.
But is it right to just use black magic to take away vitality and transform the human body?
Du Chen shuddered when he thought of the scene he vaguely saw in his dream when he fell asleep recently; and that was not a dream, it was the process of Adair using Elaine's body to prepare prisoners elsewhere.
The prisoners' wails and all kinds of disgusting misery, the visual effects when using black magic were quite shocking. Even if they were only vaguely seen, Du Chen began to doubt his choice.
Is it too much to compromise with Adair and get prisoners to be tortured?
Will Adair's actions in Diagon Alley cause greater chaos and more deaths?
Although Elaine's body is controlled by Du Chen most of the time, Adair can still seize control of her body, but he has never done so before.
But after breaking up, Adair began to do whatever he wanted.
Although the superficial harmony is still maintained, for example, there will be no fighting when Duchenne is conscious, but Duchenne's consciousness cannot always be awake. Adair's opportunity is when he falls asleep, and physical fatigue can be eliminated with potions or magic. That’s fine, five hours of sleep a day is enough to do a lot of things.
Hermione once saw Elaine suddenly appear covered in blood, which shocked her.
"What are you thinking about?" Hermione came over, sat next to Elaine, and asked. "You've been acting weird lately. You're always busy, and you keep writing letters to other people. Daphne said you seem to be preparing something with Mr. Adair. Can you tell me?"
"If I can, I'd like to say that I don't know what he wants to do." Elaine said in annoyance, her hands pinching her thighs tightly, "It won't be a good thing anyway, that guy plans to seek revenge on the Malfoy family. Because the entire Shafik family died at the hands of Death Eaters, and Malfoy was a Death Eater."
"That's right." Hermione said, "Then you are worried that Mr. Adair will lose."
"I don't have to worry if he loses." Elaine replied, rolling her eyes. "Please, I'm worried that his unscrupulous behavior will affect other people, and even kill Lucius Malfoy."
"Well, why are you worried about this? Don't you hate that Lucius Malfoy?" Hermione asked puzzledly, "Besides, if Malfoy's father was a Death Eater, he would have been imprisoned in Azka long ago. Since he can escape from the trial──"
"Hermione, the Ministry of Magic has long been infiltrated and controlled by pure-blood families." Elaine sighed and said seriously. "The other party was cunning enough and didn't leave any evidence behind. With Garen opening the way, he's not the only Death Eater who can get away with it. There are many others."
"So Mr. Adair wants to take revenge and kill those Death Eaters who escaped trial." Hermione nodded and asked, "It's understandable, but how did he know that the other party was not controlled by the Imperius Curse, but joined voluntarily?"
"Death Eaters will all have the Dark Mark on their left arms. Voldemort will not just carve the mark on the people under his control. Those who can carve the mark at least have a certain degree of trust." Elaine answered. "He also said to kill the other party now to prevent these people from betraying us when Voldemort returns later, but this is not right."
"What's wrong?" Hermione asked, looking a little hesitant. “It sounds bad, but it does make sense.”
"No, if he does this, the Second Wizarding War will explode early without waiting for Voldemort to come back." Elaine said loudly. "The Death Eaters have not only attacked the Shafik family. If he were to kill Lucius in public in the name of revenge, what would the families of the other victims think, and what would the former Death Eaters do? It’s creating chaos.”
"" Hermione opened her mouth, but hesitated. "You talked to Mr. Adair."
"No, he ignored me, but I sent a letter to Dumbledore and Slughorn. The problem is that neither of them had time to come back. They only said that they would send people to help." Like a deflated ball, Yi Lian leaned back in frustration and collapsed on the sofa. "I can't do anything damn it"
"Well, uh." Hermione thought for a moment and said. "How about we practice magic theory"
""
"Or you can go back to sleep"
"That's not funny." Elaine wiped her face and looked at Hermione helplessly. "This is not funny at all. I am telling you seriously─"
"I'm serious too," Hermione explained. "Since Dumbledore has made arrangements, leave it to him. Instead of worrying about these things, you should do something seriously."
"How could you not be troubled? You don't know what he did to say this. He──"
"Even if I knew what he did, I couldn't stop him because I couldn't." Hermione looked at Elaine strangely, "I thought you knew him better than me. Isn't he your father?"
"I don't have this kind of father." Elaine said, "You know him."
"He occasionally sends me messages." After hesitating for a while, Hermione admitted frankly. "Tips on how to use magic, powerful spells, recommended books, etc., and then encourage me to work hard. Although my attitude is not very good sometimes, I am actually a pretty good person─"
"Ha wait, why don't I know?" Elaine's eyes widened, "He has a personal relationship with you."
"Maybe it's because I'm your friend," Hermione explained. "He said Daphne has the support of the Greengrass family, you have the Shafiq family, Ron has the Weasley family, Harry has the Potter family and Dumbledore, but I have nothing, and I won't be able to keep up if this continues. your steps, so he will give me some help.”
"Forget it, let's put that aside for now." Elaine said with a headache, "Just because he taught you magic, you think he is right and so easy to bribe."
"He may not be right," Hermione replied, "but he must know the magical world better than us and know the consequences of his actions."
