Chapter 742: The Ma Erfu Family's Misunderstanding

In the Headmaster's office, Xiang Xien was silent, but Lu Xiusi was very clear about who Buliduo was talking about.

He was certain that this matter was not brought up by Buliduo; he had spent too many years with Buliduo, and the old wizard had no interest in playing that rule game with them.

Thoughts raced through his mind.

A wizard even more outstanding than Buliduo, the greatest wizard of the future.

He had heard too many rumors; there were certainly many rumors in the wizarding world, such as the recent Luohate—who could have imagined he had been bragging about himself for decades?

But also in the wizarding world, some news could not be spread as rumors.

Just like the young wizard standing beside Buliduo, who was watching this place quietly, his eyes revealing a thin indifference.

They should be on the same side.

Lu Xiusi forced himself to think this way.

The other party was an absolute pure-blood aristocrat, a descendant of wizards that even the Ministry of Magic had to keep secret.

Then which family would the other party be from?

He had a secret guess in his heart.

As for why there had always been rumors at Hogwarts about him opposing Voldemort...

That was too easy to explain. Just like how they once thought Ha Li Potter was a powerful dark wizard, and Voldemort only took action because he didn't want him to threaten his status, the other party naturally wanted to purge Voldemort's power, otherwise how could he unify the entire wizarding world?

If it wasn't to purge Voldemort's power and control the wizarding world, why would he bother opposing Voldemort?

The collision of two generations of wizards, now it seemed, was the one in front of him who had the upper hand.

And it was foreseeable that the final winner was unlikely to be anyone else.

He was too young, too full of potential; this even surpassed Voldemort.

What was even more terrifying was that he seemed to know how to disguise himself better than the Voldemort of the past.

Buliduo, whom Voldemort had not deceived, had been deceived by him.

Or perhaps, he was Buliduo's...

Lu Xiusi had heard that the Buliduo family seemed to have another girl.

Lu Xiusi's pale hands clenched into fists, then relaxed.

"Is there evidence?"

He said in a hoarse voice.

"Oh, no one can provide evidence,"

Buliduo looked at Xiang Xien with a smile and said,

"Now Riddle has disappeared from the book.

Also, Lu Xiusi, I want to give you a piece of advice: do not distribute Voldemort's old things from his student days anymore.

If these things fall into the hands of innocent people again, at least Arthur Wei Silai would certainly be able to find out that they came from you..."

Lu Xiusi Ma Erfu stood blankly for a moment; Xiang Xien clearly saw his right hand twitch, as if he wanted to reach for his wand.

However, he restrained himself; he cast his gaze toward Xiang Xien.

It was a strange look, like a plea for help and also like an inquiry.

Unfortunately, Xiang Xien could not understand it.

"However, I heard that the Ministry of Magic has discovered something recently, Lu Xiusi; it's best if it has nothing to do with you, otherwise the other eleven governors..."

While Buliduo was speaking, an owl flew in; it was Xiang Xien receiving a letter.

【Your will has been executed.

—Your most loyal, forever admiring, Rita Skeeter】

With the appearance of this letter, more owl messengers flew into the Headmaster's office, and both Buliduo and Lu Xiusi received letters.

"It seems my suggestion came too late. You have been dismissed, Lu Xiusi, and there is also a three-month investigation period to deal with."

Buliduo squinted his eyes.

Lu Xiusi's body trembled; he naturally saw the words "Dismissed" and "Investigation" bolded on the letter.

He dared not accept it for a moment—had Draco not accurately conveyed his meaning, expressing their intention to submit to the other party?

Or was it that the other party no longer valued them?

No, no, no... the Ma Erfu family still had many values that the other party did not know about.

He finally restrained himself and turned to his house-elf:

"Let's go, Dobby!"

He twisted the door open, the house-elf hurried over, and Mr. Ma Erfu kicked him out the door.

They could hear Dobby's painful screams echoing all the way down the corridor.

"I found that you have no friends in Slytherin."

After they left, Buliduo asked Xiang Xien as if making small talk.

Xiang Xien looked at Buliduo with a lack of understanding, as if he couldn't adapt to the topic changing so quickly.

"Yes, Headmaster Buliduo."

After Xiang Xien answered, he looked at Ha Li, who had been eavesdropping at the door for who knows how long.

He put away the diary and bid farewell to Buliduo, whose eyes were full of mischief.

"Ha Li?"

Xiang Xien walked to the door and called out softly toward a corner.

"Ah, Xiang Xien, oh, Xiang Xien, here, this, statue, is very..."

Ha Li walked out from the darkness, stammering.

Xiang Xien watched him quietly until his face turned red.

"You, you, you knew all along, right, Xiang Xien? You dismissed Lu Xiusi Ma Erfu! My god, I can't imagine we could still accomplish such things!"

Ha Li was stumbling at first, but in the end, he became more fluent.

"Mm."

Xiang Xien answered.

"I..."

Ha Li wanted to say something else, but was speechless for a moment.

Xiang Xien could make Lu Xiusi Ma Erfu receive the punishment he deserved, while he could only "elbow" Draco on the Quidditch field.

He certainly knew that it was Xiang Xien, but he felt a sense of unwillingness for a moment.

He thought again about how he had missed the Hope Cottage training for so long, and the passion he once had whenever Quidditch was mentioned had all disappeared.

It was as if everything had suddenly lost its meaning.

"Ha Li, do you want to become an Auror?"

Xiang Xien said suddenly.

"Auror?"

Ha Li repeated.

"A group of carefully selected, well-trained outstanding wizards, specifically responsible for investigating crimes related to Dark Magic, and responsible for arresting and detaining dark wizards."

Xiang Xien explained patiently.

"Can I become an Auror?"

Ha Li's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"Why not?

However, the Auror's task is to find and arrest criminal dark wizards, so their work is very dangerous, and the difficulty of joining is very high.

At least obtain five N. E. W. T. certificates, and the grades cannot be lower than 'Exceeds Expectations'. In addition, one must also undergo a series of strict character and talent tests at the Auror Office.

If you are willing, I can help."

Xiang Xien said slowly.

Ha Li was dazed for a moment.

Before leaving, Xiang Xien gave Ha Li a book introducing the deeds of Aurors, and also gave Ha Li the diary of Tom Riddle that had been destroyed.

"It will be useful."

Xiang Xien said.

And Ha Li suddenly looked up at Lu Xiusi and Dobby in the distance; he had just had some thoughts about rescuing Dobby.

He suspected for a moment if Xiang Xien had read his mind again.

The last day before Easter.

Ha Li suddenly found what he wanted to do; he didn't know that the sunset could be so beautiful. ===== CHAPTER 743 =====
