Struggling to survive at Hogwarts

Chapter 323 Collision

When Thea landed, she was met by a chaotic crowd.

At first glance.

Well, everyone she had in mind has arrived!

Werewolves, loyalists, speculators, cargo...

so fun.

Thea slowly walked forward, and the people arguing stopped.

"Uncle Lucius, this is..."

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Thea played the part of a helpful citizen, ignoring Bella's complicated expression and a disdainful snort beside her.

Lucius was initially pleased to see Thea, since she was the one he had invited to help him.

But when his gaze fell upon the black-haired woman beside him, and the obviously abnormal atmosphere between the two of them... he slowly swallowed.

I heard that the two of them had a "big fight" in front of everyone just a few days ago!

I heard that the owner is going to "exile" Bella to the frontier because of this!

The owner has even frozen the fuse that was malfunctioning, Barty!

So affectionate!

Such kindness!

Thea's position is unshakeable!

Thinking of this, Lucius's eyes grew even more eager.

He pointed excitedly at the ground.

"We've caught Potter—"

Before he could finish speaking, Graybury rudely yelled at Lucius, "This is clearly my doing, you shameless bastard!"

"You brute!"

At first, Lucius was a little embarrassed by being exposed, but as Graybury hurled insults at him, that embarrassment vanished immediately.

He retorted without holding back.

"If I hadn't shown up in time, you would have been killed by these three brats long ago!"

"You're talking nonsense! Potter's achievement is clearly mine!"

During the argument, the two were spitting everywhere, while Thea subtly moved aside.

With no one intervening, the argument naturally escalated until Bella, who had been standing quietly to the side, also became displeased and shouted angrily.

"Alright! Shut up, all of you! What's all the fuss about?"

"Shut up or I'll throw you all out!!!"

Bella's outbursts would normally have an effect on Graybury, but today it just so happened that Graybury was the one who lost his temper.

In a fit of rage, Graybury blurted out, "What's it to you?!"

Even Thea was amazed by the other person's lack of common sense after hearing that.

Sure enough, Bella's next move was to draw her wand and point it at Greyback.

Not to be outdone, Graybury sullenly prepared to charge forward.

Now, Thea could no longer stand idly by.

After muttering a curse at the other party for being brainless, Thea first used a spell to dispel Bella's spell, and then cast a petrification spell on Greyback.

Perhaps Thea's movement was too fast, because Lucius stood frozen in place, until Bella roared at Thea.

"Are you trying to rebel?!"

"You need to calm down."

Thea remained expressionless, but gripped her wand tightly in her hand.

"You! You traitor! Disgrace..."

Bella didn't get a chance to say what she was going to say next; it was Thea's turn to speak.

"So, Mother, are you planning to slap me again here?"

"Just like the time a few days ago?"

These words stunned not only Bellalusius, but also the three who were tied up in the corner and turned into spoils of war.

Aren't they mother and daughter?

Didn't they say they had a very good relationship?

Why would Bella attack Blake?!

Don't pure-blooded nobles value their children's upbringing?

Looking back now, was it a form of indoctrination through force?

Ron was more confused than his two friends.

Thanks to the Weasley family's strong family atmosphere, Ron had only ever witnessed his twin brothers being beaten half to death by their father once in his life.

But that time, they almost tricked him into making an unbreakable vow, and he almost lost his life!

As for punishments like slapping... no matter how angry they get Mom, at most she'll just have her ear pulled and get a few scoldings...

What did Blake do?

Ron blinked and looked around, successfully spotting the same question in the eyes of his other two friends.

While Ron and his companions were puzzled, the argument over there began to gradually subside.

Bella fell silent.

Greyback also calmed down.

As for Lucius... what can he say?

"The three of them..."

"We're not sure if it's Potter and his group; his face is badly stung!"

Lucius finally spoke, earning a surprised look from Thea.

"You...don't remember what they looked like?"

"This……"

Lucius was suddenly overwhelmed by a strong sense of shame.

After all, being the Dark Lord's right-hand man, only to find at the last minute that he doesn't even recognize his mortal enemy...

That's incredibly irresponsible!

"This...is just in case, after all, it's a gift for the Dark Lord—"

Now, Thea was starting to admire Lucius's quick wit and silver tongue.

"So what do you plan to do?"

"Just in case, let's kill them and be done with it!"

Bella's opinion was as bloody and frank as ever.

"But he was specifically requested by the Dark Lord!"

"........."

Bella was at a loss for words.

Thea quickly added, "When I arrived, the master was still in the laboratory."

This time, none of them mentioned reporting the Dark Lord.

Everyone present understood the importance of "immortality" to Voldemort.

They didn't want to be the scapegoats who interrupted the Dark Lord's "important matters"!

"Lock them up first!"

Thea made the final decision.
