Struggling to survive at Hogwarts

Chapter 301 Getting Along

"So, how long are you going to keep me tied up?!"

In the corner, Harry looked utterly devastated. Between saving face and a certain physical need, Harry decisively chose the latter.

"I'm sorry," Thea said with feigned apology, "I forgot."

Forgot?

This is the good thing you did last night!

As soon as I entered the church, they knocked me unconscious, took my wand, and then tied me up!

Harry was filled with accusations, but in the end he just glared at Thea and ran out of the room to look for a bathroom.

Under the pretext of going to the toilet, Ha quickly searched the church, but the results were not satisfactory.

The church is actually not very big, with only two floors in total. The first floor has a large chapel for worship, two small chapels for small gatherings, and two washrooms.

The second floor was more simply furnished, with several priests' rooms, a large kitchen, and a storage room where they were temporarily staying.

I don't know how Blake got him up to the second floor last night. Was it a levitation spell?

There was also a cellar where wine, bread, and all sorts of pies that Harry couldn't name were stored.

This discovery made Harry somewhat happy; at least he didn't have to worry about being starved to death by Black, who knew how long that madman would keep him locked up.

After touring the entire church, Harry tentatively ventured outside, but the locked doors and high walls made him abandon the idea.

What makes a wizard without a wand any different from an ordinary person?

No, it's still a little different.

Looking at the shallow pit on the ground, Harry walked into it without changing his expression. With this kind of destructive power, even if he managed to get out, Black could easily catch him back in five seconds!

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. 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.

Harry, who had resigned himself to his fate, eventually began to defy it under the influence of food!

"Blake!"

Harry was so imposing that his aura instantly reached 2.1 meters, making Thea next to him appear even "weak and pitiful".

"How on earth did you manage to ruin this food like this?!"

Looking at the dark, unappetizing plate in front of her, Thea immediately looked away guiltily, glancing left and right, determined not to look at Harry.

"I...I don't know why the fire was so big...I accidentally...it got burnt..."

"careless?!"

Harry sneered and listed Thea's past achievements one by one: "I won't mention the sweet potatoes you stewed yesterday morning, they were still edible with a little water; the toast you made last night was alright too, at least a third of it was still edible."

"And now?"

"It's just a stewed potato!"

"How did you manage to turn it into a stew of charcoal?!"

In the end, Harry's anger subsided, and he began to ask questions with genuine sincerity.

It was precisely this sincerity that made Thea's already dwindling conscience ache.

"Why don't you... do it?"

"okay!"

Harry's quick agreement aroused Thea's suspicion.

But Thea thought again, it's just cooking, Harry couldn't possibly poison her... right?

Forget it, I'll just watch him do it!

And so, there was one more person in the kitchen.

Amidst the rising smoke, the forces of good and evil found a rare moment of peace.

But everyone knows that superficial peace will always vanish.

"Potter, do you want those Death Eaters to die?"

"……what?"

Harry thought he had misheard, but Thea repeated it again.

Harry: "..."

Am I playing the savior role?

But these lines... why do they sound like they came from that wicked concubine next door who brought ruin to the country?

Why are you suddenly asking that?

Harry asked the question carefully, his guard rapidly rising.

Do you think traitors should die?

Thea ignored Harry's question and instead threw out another one.

Just as Harry came up with a perfect answer, Thea asked again, "Do you think a dog-eat-dog situation is good?"

Harry: "…………"

He got it.

This little brat doesn't need his answer at all!

She's just acting crazy all the time!

"Whatever you like!"

Feeling tricked, Harry threw down a remark and turned to run to the kitchen; his ham sandwich was about to burn!

As Thea watched Harry's departing figure, her gaze gradually became unfocused.

"...dogs fighting...fishing in troubled waters..."

Alex is not going to survive.

His ambition killed him.

He believed he could take the biggest credit, and if he handled things properly, he could even turn around and threaten Thea. It would be best if he could get back the benefits that Thea had taken from him, or at least use them as leverage.

This plan is actually quite good. As long as we stop the Death Eater companions who are going down to rescue Harry, and as long as we wait for Nagini to exhaust Harry's strength, he can easily get the greatest credit!

As for Thea's injury?

It was just friendly fire during combat!

They just didn't have time to rescue them!

Compared to the great achievement of killing/capturing the savior, Voldemort wouldn't care about the minor flaw of not being able to rescue him in time.

But this savior defied all logic; not only did he escape successfully, he even managed to take Thea with him!

Not to mention Theodore, who cut in from the side, and the video camera that Thea carried with her.

Alex lost this round.

His ambitions outweighed his loyalty to Voldemort!

No matter who it was, whether it was Voldemort's pet Nagini or Voldemort's chosen successor, none of that mattered against his personal interests.

If he can temporarily abandon Thea today for that vague and uncertain merit, then tomorrow, the day after, wouldn't he also betray Voldemort for greater benefits? Betray the Death Eaters?

After this incident, no one could tolerate Alex anymore.

After all, everyone is afraid of being stabbed in the back by someone close to them.

After thinking it through, Thea slowly put her hands into her pockets, silently counting the healing and energizing potions inside.

Theodore did a great job this time, very well.

He arrived at Godric's Hollow within Thea's estimated time, not only replenishing Thea's potion in time, but also rushing to bring the video that could have sealed Alex's death sentence to Voldemort...

As for why Theodore was able to arrive at Godric Valley in time, Thea took a gamble.

Before setting off, she learned from Gella that Theodore's new potion development was nearing completion. Knowing his personality, he would definitely come to her in person to claim credit, so he would know the time and place of her mission.

In addition, as a pharmacist, he knew better than anyone the dosage of potions that Thea's body needed on a daily basis.

Thea knew this, so that night she took Harry hostage to avoid the Death Eaters' sight and try to prolong the operation. In the end, she waited for Theodore.

Why doesn't Thea go back to the Riddle mansion by herself?

First, she didn't have enough potion to go back.

Secondly, she didn't know if any of Alex's accomplices were among the Death Eaters in this operation, and she didn't want to gamble on the fighting ability of a desperate madman.

Why did Thea kidnap Harry?

First, it was a twist of fate.

Secondly, she needs a "bodyguard".

So, should she go back?

No, there's one last thing to do.
