Chapter 217: Emotional Dispute

After a burst of frolicking, the werewolves, led by Lupin, began to set up barbecue grills, move raw beef out of the warehouse, and prepare to feast. Of course, there were also some guys whose wolf nature was still greater than human nature, who directly hugged the raw meat and gnawed it. For this, they also chose to understand.

"Let's go, they are going to play here all night," Sirius said.

"Lupin also used a fake name, right?" Harry found it a bit funny. The people who used fake names to make the Marauder's Map in the beginning were now also using fake names to lay out everywhere.

"Ah, you have to know, the Fontroy family gave us a lot of investment," Sirius lowered his voice. "The Kingdom of Gilneas and King Greymane, taking these two names was one of Tang Tang Nade's requirements."

Why did Tang Tang Nade do this? Harry secretly pondered. Would this have anything to do with the legendary lost civilization?

"Oh, Harry, I still have to stay here to continue arranging the factory and union affairs," Sir Crowley shouted at him. "You go back to school and spend Christmas with the children!"

Harry's mouth twitched. Sir Crowley was always full of energy once he talked about workers and unions. He didn't refute. It was very good for the elderly to have their own things, so with Sirius's help, Harry successfully returned to Hogwarts, and without wearing an Invisibility Cloak, he still successfully slipped back to the dormitory before being caught by Filch.

Early the next morning, Harry explained his general strategy to Neville while walking toward the Great Hall. But just before breakfast, a Daily Prophet sent by Hedwig made him fall into deep thought, so much so that when he came back to his senses, he couldn't even remember whether he had eaten or not.

The front-page headline of the Daily Prophet was still boring content like Minister Scrimgeour making an important speech, but on the second page, a report suddenly attracted Harry's attention.

"Some foreign students at Hogwarts, she was once a royal noble!"

Harry quickly browsed through this article. It introduced Zhang Qiu and Trig in a lukewarm tone, and then spent a lot of ink describing Eve Crowley.

"... Until today, we always thought Miss Crowley was an ordinary Muggle-born. However, with the visit of Soviet champion Renata Yevgenyevna Chicherina, we accidentally uncovered a secret that had been sealed for a long time: Miss Crowley is actually the last pure-blood descendant of the Tsarist Russian royal family.

Under Renata's identification, we confirmed that Miss Crowley's original name was Izelonova Razumovskaya Romanov, flowing with the pure bloodline of the Tsarist Russian royal family in the Wizarding World. Due to Yanayev's ruthless persecution of pure-blood nobles, her parents and relatives all unfortunately died in the Great Purge, and this royal descendant had to take refuge with her British relatives..."

Harry took a deep breath. He found it hard to imagine this was true, but why did Renata want to tell this lie? To some extent, this instead provided a divine assist for him to continue fooling Malfoy.

If Eve was proven to be a pure-blood noble, Malfoy would undoubtedly be even more eager to move. Of course, perhaps she would not be able to continue to participate in and lead the Muggle Lives Matter movement—but originally, the leader of Muggle Lives Matter was Trig, and this article also confirmed his Muggle bloodline in a stroke.

If... Harry suddenly changed his train of thought. If Renata was not adding trouble to him, but showing favor to him? He felt this point was very critical. Originally, he thought Malfoy was making little moves, but later he found that Malfoy just misunderstood his meaning, which almost completely changed Harry's strategy.

"I need to find Renata to talk," Harry stood up suddenly, and Luo En stood up immediately after.

"I'll go with you," he said.

"Then our meeting?" Neville looked at Harry and said tentatively. "Postponed again?"

"Yes, Renata's move is very strange. I need to confirm some things," Harry said. "If things are not quite the same as I thought, perhaps our entire plan needs to be reformulated."

Just as he walked out of the Great Hall, Harry suddenly remembered something and turned to Luo En: "No hurry, I need to find Eve to confirm her true bloodline first, to see if Renata is deliberately operating, or if she just accidentally leaked the truth."

"Okay, then I'll go to the Three Broomsticks pub first and make an appointment for you," Luo En said. "If I can't find her, I'll leave a note for her to wait for you at the pub tomorrow morning."

"Good, that's trouble for you," Harry nodded and turned to walk upstairs. However, just as he ran through the fourth-floor corridor and passed the Torchwood headquarters, a faint cry for help attracted Harry's attention.

He slowed down and approached the headquarters quietly. The sound was clearer; it was Pan Xi.

"You say it, Draco, why don't you explain?" Her tone carried despair. "You knew it long ago, right? That day you sent me away to meet Harry alone, what did you two talk about?"

"Why don't you speak? I worked so hard to help you support Luna, help you suppress the Lionheart Society, and contact Macmillan. I was busy every day, and I thought I was sharing your worries. It turns out I was the one who was in the way, right?" Pan Xi said, choking up. "Do you know how happy I was when I did those things? I thought I could help..."

"You speak, Draco, you speak!" She screamed hysterically.

"Boss, why don't you explain?" Gao Er's dull voice came. "I believe it's not like this."

"Uh, why not ask Tang Mu?" Crabbe came up with a smart suggestion.

"I don't know how to say it, Pan Xi," Malfoy's voice was slightly tired. "You are indeed helping me a lot; this is all part of the plan..."

"Yes, then what is the plan?" Pan Xi said dejectedly. "Is it for Torchwood? But what is Torchwood for? What else do I have to look forward to?"

"Don't say that, big sister," Gao Er persuaded clumsily. "Once Torchwood becomes increasingly strong and controls the whole school, we can do whatever we want."

"The whole school, heh," Pan Xi's tone carried a crying voice again. "I can't even keep my lover; what meaning does this school have?"

"Isn't it good to get the school? Tang Mu always longs to get the school," Crabbe also joined the ranks of persuasion.

"Draco, you just refuse to say it, right?" Pan Xi cried. "You just need to say one sentence. You say that you and Eve have nothing. You say it, and I will believe it."

"I love you so much, Draco. Everything I do has no meaning in your eyes, right? Woo..."

"I said, I am very grateful to you," Malfoy said hesitantly. "But if it's about love, I think we are all too young."

"I can wait, but I want to wait with hope," Pan Xi said. "You tell me, is there me in your heart, even if there is only a little bit? I want to wait for the day you change your mind."

"Of course there is..." Malfoy's tone couldn't be heard at all as if there was.

"Then what about Eve? What is she?" Pan Xi's tone contained a trace of expectation.

"To be precise, she is Harry's sister, which is very critical. You also know that Harry is a very powerful person. We can only form an alliance with him and absolutely cannot go against him," Malfoy's sentences suddenly became smooth. "You also saw the newspaper. He holds secrets that even the Dark Lord doesn't know."

"Yes, of course, so everything between you and her is just acting, right? Is Eve seducing you, right?" Pan Xi's tone suddenly brightened.

"You can think so," Malfoy said vaguely. "The main thing is, if Harry doesn't think this is bad, it's not convenient for me to brush his face."

"I will go talk to Harry and let him hurry up and marry Eve to Luo En, so the matter will be solved, and we can return to the right track again." A noise came from inside; it should be Pan Xi standing up. Hearing a sound of footsteps coming, Harry hurried away from the door.

Just as he was standing on the stairs, walking up as if nothing had happened, a hand climbed onto his shoulder. Harry looked back; it was Pan Xi. Her eye sockets were red, but that face was not as fierce as it was a few years ago, although it still looked a bit like a pug, but the cuteness and beauty that a girl should have were also slightly revealed.

"Harry, you are here," she said. "I have to tell you something, uh, what kind of situation is it..."

Harry sighed. Although Pan Xi had no friendship with him, the kindness and sympathy that came with birth made him unable to bear to leave her alone, so he said as kindly as possible: "Don't worry, you can say it slowly if you have anything."

Pan Xi's mood was not very good at this time, and her train of thought was also a bit chaotic, so of course she couldn't say anything. After a slight silence, she said: "Sorry, I'm a bit anxious, but I do need to talk to you properly."

"Is tonight okay? I will wait for you at the headquarters." After finishing, Pan Xi smiled awkwardly, then bowed and turned to leave. Harry looked at her back, and she seemed to be wiping tears.

Harry thought he should be able to understand Pan Xi. She was not a fool. Perhaps she had discovered Malfoy and Eve's interaction long ago, but Eve's Muggle bloodline gave her a sense of security. Now that the sense of security brought by bloodline was gone, she would of course collapse a bit.

However, Renata couldn't specifically target Pan Xi, who was eight poles away, right? Harry scratched his head. Maybe this was just being affected. The top priority was still to determine the nature of this incident from Eve and Renata, so as to facilitate his planning of the next step of action.

After dealing with Pan Xi, Harry returned to the Gryffindor common room. Ginny and Eve were still sitting in their usual place, and the two were chatting happily.

"Eve, tell me the truth," Harry took out the newspaper from his robe. "What's going on with your background? Is this true, or is Renata talking nonsense?"

Eve was obviously startled, but when she took the newspaper and looked at it carefully, the expression on her face became more and more wonderful. ===== CHAPTER 218 =====
