Chapter 220: Pan Xi's Transparency

~10 min read 1,844 words

"Good plan, let's do it," Ma Erfu breathed a sigh of relief. "The next step is for you to talk to Pan Xi, right? I will also talk to her."

"Let's go, this cellar is really stuffy and smelly," Eve suggested.

Of course it would be smelly, after all, a troll had died here.

Harry laughed awkwardly a few times, then opened the door and watched Ma Erfu leave in a hurry.

"There is a Christmas ball this year, I like balls so much," Eve said suddenly. "But who should I open the dance with?"

"Another ball?" Harry showed a look of annoyance. After all, he had just come down from the Beauxbatons ball. However, even if he was not interested, he admitted that this would be a good idea.

"With Luo En... No, what about Alina?" Harry felt a headache. "Things are coming one after another, I really can't stand it. No hurry, when is the ball?"

"On Christmas Day."

"As expected of Hogwarts, as stingy as ever on holidays," Harry curled his lips. "Alright, then it's really not urgent. I'll arrange these things later. Now I have to prepare for the conversation with Pan Xi."

On the way back to the dormitory, Harry figured out one thing. Eve might still be young and didn't understand that marriage was a lifelong matter. Ma Erfu's personality was also a bit nasty. If they really got married, and when Eve was old and yellow, there would be a lot of trouble.

Therefore, Eve must absolutely not be married to Ma Erfu. At most, he could only let him see it but not eat it. After confirming this, Harry also figured out the tone of the next conversation. He must persuade Pan Xi back, and then pull Ma Erfu back. It is best to let them be locked together for a lifetime, let Ma Erfu always be under restraint and eager to move, which is also convenient for himself to use him. After all, people are like this. Only what they can't get is good. If they get it, they won't cherish it.

Before dinner, Harry suddenly thought of a question: if he intended to act as Pan Xi's emotional mentor, he must not ignore that she actually had another emotional mentor. And under the persuasion of two big smart people, perhaps she had already sought help from that mentor.

Harry couldn't help but rejoice that he thought of this question in time. He entrusted Luo En to help him leave some food, and then ran to the Torchwood headquarters in a hurry, turning into that discussion room.

"Tang Mu, tell me, what did Pan Xi talk to you about today?" Harry ordered in a hurry.

The diary seemed to fear him, and the handwriting began to emerge line by line. Harry browsed through it ten lines at a glance.

"Earlier today, Pan Xi asked me if Ma Erfu seemed to have fallen in love with Eve. I told her that Ma Erfu might not really like Eve, or he might be pretending to like Eve to win over Harry.

A man gives his most precious things to whom he really likes. For most students, time is the most precious thing, so companionship is the longest confession. However, for nobles like Ma Erfu, power is his most precious thing, so interest is the most solid oath.

You might as well think about who is controlling Ma Erfu's career, who is helping him manage the huge organization, and who is providing him with strong support, and once pulled away, he will be destroyed?

It's you, Pan Xi. So don't worry, his heart has always been on you."

Harry couldn't help but sigh. Tang Mu and Renata were the same, and they both found the key to the problem at once. Ma Erfu shouldn't have handed over most of Torchwood's work to Pan Xi while preparing to abandon her. However, if he stood on the starting point of wanting to pick up Eve and wanting to develop Torchwood, handing the work to Pan Xi was his only and best choice.

However, fortunately, Tang Mu was also persuading peace. Harry only needed to speak along his train of thought, and he should be able to stabilize Pan Xi. However, if Tang Mu pointed out this matter, perhaps the girls' club could no longer be handed over to Eve, which would instead arouse Pan Xi's vigilance.

No, Harry thought again, if Ma Erfu handed the girls' club to Eve, this would of course make Pan Xi suspicious. But if Harry proposed to let Eve take over the girls' club, then in Pan Xi's eyes, perhaps it was just a simple struggle for the right to speak, not so sensitive.

And, in the eyes of Torchwood people, Harry and Neville were split. The two sometimes cooperated and sometimes looked like strangers. They wouldn't know that Harry and Neville had formed deep trust because of similar fates. In this way, Neville and Hannah's rise was just an external event in their eyes. Even if Harry successfully took back all the forces into his own hands, Ma Erfu and Pan Xi wouldn't feel urgent. They should continue to feel good about themselves in terms of power while pulling and pulling in terms of feelings, wasting energy.

After figuring all this out, Harry sat down on the comfortable sofa at the headquarters, waiting quietly for Pan Xi's arrival.

Pan Xi didn't let him wait too long. She should have come here as soon as she finished dinner.

"Oh, Harry, you are already here? Have you eaten?" Pan Xi said softly. Harry admitted that this girl had really improved a lot.

"Thanks, I've eaten. Now let's talk properly," Harry said with a smile.

"I figured it out, Harry," Pan Xi nodded. "All this is in your plan, right?"

Harry felt a bit confused, but he chose to smile without saying a word.

"Your secret conversation with Draco before you left was actually telling him Eve's bloodline, right? You were worried that the situation would exceed control after leaving Hogwarts, so you left this backhand," Pan Xi said. "In order not to brush your face, Draco had to make a show of Muggle Lives Matter and pretend he was a bit fascinated by Eve."

Harry felt very speechless. Why did you deceive yourself before I started deceiving you?

"Then, once Eve's bloodline was exposed, I couldn't allow Draco to be so intimate with her anymore. Although I trust him, this matter will also become a thorn in my heart that cannot be pulled out," Pan Xi continued. "I admit, if he continues to do so, I will really use everything in my hands to retaliate against him, although these things were originally given to me by him."

"Now you are here, you have long been ready to call off all this, right?" Pan Xi smiled and said. "You will say that Eve's bloodline is fake, you will say that you are ready to marry her to Luo En, and then take the opportunity to propose that Eve take over the girls' club."

Harry widened his eyes all of a sudden. It was okay for Renata to have this insight. After all, she was a champion selected by the whole school, but even Pan Xi could see through all his layouts, which made it hard for him to doubt whether he was relatively stupid.

"But it doesn't matter," Pan Xi changed the subject. "I am actually very grateful for this game of yours, which let me see my heart clearly. It turns out that compared to power and status, what I really like is Draco himself. So you take it, you be the soul of Torchwood, I just need Draco."

This is not bad... Harry thought. Maybe it's not that he is relatively stupid, but Ma Erfu sold himself in advance. He added fuel to the fire and said these things, and suddenly Pan Xi was coaxed. This is very possible. Otherwise, all his actions were guessed by others? Harry didn't want to scare himself like that.

"It seems we don't need to say much," Harry opened his mouth. "You have figured it out, then we can reach a consensus."

"Now Gryffindor is controlled by the girls' club, Slytherin is in the hands of me and Draco, and although Luna has her own opinions, she will not leave Torchwood," Pan Xi said. "Although Hufflepuff is a bit restless, Cedric will be able to calm it all down once he comes back. Congratulations, Harry, the school is completely in your hands."

"Ah ah, actually it doesn't feel that good," Harry scratched his head. "I haven't had a good rest since I came back. It's all things."

"Hahaha, then enjoy this sweet pain," Pan Xi blinked. "Draco invited me to be his dance partner, we have to go practice first."

"Dance partner, yes, I have to get busy with this too," Harry patted his head. If Hogwarts also wanted to hold a Christmas ball, he still had to help Eve find a dance partner, which was another headache.

Harry didn't rush to find Zhang Qiu and Alina. He returned to the common room first, ready to sit down and eat something. After all, his stomach was already very hungry. He didn't eat well at noon either. He missed the meal time when he came back from talking to Renata, and only ate a sandwich Luo En left in the dormitory. The fast-food sandwich tasted bland. If there were other choices, Harry would absolutely not want to eat it.

Luo En scraped a large piece of roasted ribs from the dinner table for Harry. The meat juice soaked the mashed potatoes on the side, plus another apple pie and egg tart wrapped in oil paper, and he gobbled it up all of a sudden.

"Oh, Eve, you don't look very happy," Luo En said.

"Yes, I didn't expect that Lavender seems to be a bit out of control," Eve's tone was a bit guilty. "She doesn't listen to what I say."

"What do you mean? You just asked her not to attack Neville, but she refused?" Luo En asked.

"Yes, not just her, these girls have tasted the sweetness of doing whatever they want and don't intend to stop," Eve said. "Now they are preparing to launch public opinion, calling on boys to send more valuable Christmas gifts, and they want them to send them to strange girls too."

"This is too outrageous, right?" Luo En wanted to scold loudly, but suddenly he let out his breath again. "But undoubtedly, every girl will support this point of view, but what is the necessity of this? I mean, girls have to be superior to others, oh yes, everyone wants to do this, so I can't blame..."

Harry's mouth, which was full of roasted meat, gradually stopped. He never felt that the roasted ribs in the cafeteria were actually as hard to eat as the White Ferret sandwich. ===== CHAPTER 221 =====
