Chapter 412: A Large Wave of Exchange Students Arrive
Harry only needed to worry about the overall situation, but Luo Tang Nade had a lot to consider. He really wanted to invite Hermione, but he couldn't be sure if Hermione would agree; he was worried that Elena would continue to occupy Hermione and destroy their relationship, but he didn't know whether Elena was coming or not; he wanted to find Hermione to ask around, but he was worried that if he went to ask, it would cause Hermione's misunderstanding.
"So you stammered for a long time just for this?" Harry said helplessly. "I've been in a bad mood for the past two days. Snape hasn't come back yet. Who knows what happened at the Ministry of Magic? And you also know that mass-produced knights are about to appear, but our power here is still like this, without any progress."
Luo Tang Nade's face flushed. He himself knew that a large part of Saber's combat power came from his swordsmanship. Regarding the degree of development of knight power, he was actually not as good as Ma Erfu.
"Still, still go and ask," Luo Tang Nade instigated. "If you can't, change to another girl to ask around."
"Oh?" Harry said with dissatisfaction. "Why are you so concerned about Elena? If you really like Hermione, then no matter if this white hair comes or not, you can bravely pursue Hermione."
"Wait," Harry suddenly changed the topic. "I'll go and ask for you. Maybe it's better to ask."
He suddenly changed his attitude because Harry remembered the matter of the Half-Blood Prince. It was not a bad thing for him and Hermione to have more contact. Instead, it could become evidence, which would be more credible when laying out a trap to pit Tang Tang Nade in the future.
"Haha," Luo Tang Nade immediately began to giggle.
"If Elena doesn't come, do you want me to invite her to be your dance partner by the way?" Harry looked at him sideways.
Luo Tang Nade stopped laughing immediately, and his expression became hesitant.
"Forget it, I'm teasing you. I'll only ask about Elena," Harry smiled. "If you really like it, then you have to take action yourself, buddy!"
"Ask first, I'll wait for your news," Luo Tang Nade prevaricated noncommittally.
Harry came to the library. He looked at the seat Hermione often sat in. At this moment, transfer students had arrived at the school, but she was still sitting there alone. Judging from this, there was a high probability that Elena was really not coming.
"Hermione, how have you been lately?" Harry sat down beside her and greeted her casually.
"Don't mention it, I'm so busy that my feet don't touch the ground, I'm exhausted," Hermione said generously. "What are you looking for me for? Is it related to Luo Tang Nade?"
Hermione was too smart. Harry was sweating profusely at this moment. He couldn't admit that Luo Tang Nade was afraid of even Elena's unspeakable lesbianism, and had to beg himself to ask around, right?
"Ah, actually, I acted on my own initiative," Harry hurriedly took the blame on himself. "Luo Tang Nade's state has been very low recently, which seriously affected... his... performance on the court. Yes, that's it, so I want to ask if... you know?"
"You're not talking about the court, are you?" Hermione sighed. "I've also heard a lot about Kamen Riders. I also know that the combat power of knights is closely related to their mentality. Zhang Qiu is very happy to tell me these; the three of you being hospitalized at the same time is also quite a big piece of news. I guess he probably held back?"
"However, I want to say that Luo Tang Nade's problem really has nothing to do with me, and it's not something I can solve," Hermione said helplessly. "He is fighting with himself. Sometimes he looks down on himself, sometimes he is overconfident—honestly, if you expect me to adjust his mentality, you might as well try to see if I can also become a Kamen Rider."
"I'm afraid it's quite difficult. People who are too rational cannot become knights, and I can't either," Harry used a bitter smile to cover up his probing. "According to this, Elena actually has quite a lot of hope. She is like Luo Tang Nade beside you."
"With her personality, if there is a chance, maybe she can really succeed," Hermione shrugged. "But who knows? She lost contact, not even a letter."
"Ah? Then what are you going to do? Have you written to her?"
"Wrote, no response. I decided not to think about these things first," Hermione used a very cold tone, but this couldn't cover up the loss on her face. "Sometimes from talking about everything to being strangers, you don't need any reason."
"Not to that extent, right? Could it be that she encountered something?" Harry asked in surprise.
"Is there anything that Tang Tang Nade can't handle?" Hermione asked back.
Harry was silent. The biggest difficulty he could imagine Elena might encounter was exactly Tang Tang Nade, who was omnipotent in Hermione's eyes.
"Then the Christmas dance..."
"If you want to know," Hermione's quill, which had stopped, began to shake again, "then let him invite me in person, don't hide behind the Savior."
Harry was sweating profusely again.
In order to find a line of thinking in this field he was not good at, Harry sat on Zhang Qiu's desk before returning to the dormitory.
"Too many doubts..." Writing furiously appeared to be contagious. Zhang Qiu also seemed to be troubled by something.
"Miss Qiu?" Harry asked with a smile. "What are you worrying about?"
"Moon Knight and Decade, too coincidental," she said. "No, no, you can't believe in coincidences."
"Yes, the knight matter," Harry nodded seriously. "But should we talk about the dance first?"
"Is there anything to talk about? I'm going to wear a white-bottomed red peony one, you just wear your tuxedo normally," Zhang Qiu was still staring at the notebook, Harry noticed that there was a word "Decade" circled repeatedly on it, he guessed this was the English spelling of Decade.
"I mean Hermione's matter. Elena is not coming this year." Harry's instinct also told him that there was something tricky about the knight matter, but the truth he learned from that failure was: strength can break any plan.
"What's wrong with her again?" Zhang Qiu closed the notebook suddenly and said somewhat impatiently.
"Elena is not just not coming, she lost contact."
"What?" Zhang Qiu's thinking finally turned around. "Then the worst case is—"
"She exposed her thoughts, and then was silenced by Tang Tang Nade?"
"Silenced? Not to that extent, right?!" Harry was incredulous at her guess. "At most, it's forbidden to contact Hermione, etc., but there are other possibilities. She didn't necessarily expose it, right?"
"The possibility is not high," Zhang Qiu frowned, tapping the table. "Tang Tang Nade's bottom line is far lower than you think. There is nothing he can't do... right? Hiss—could it be that he also played a role in this?"
She spread out the notebook again and wrote D. F. D as a substitute for Tang Tang Nade on the blank page where the lines were most chaotic.
"Why don't you solve the problem of Luo Tang Nade and Hermione for me first?"
"Direct ball overcomes tsundere. Just let Luo Tang Nade confess directly," Zhang Qiu shook her head perfunctorily.
"But if Tang Tang Nade really has a share in the Knight Project," Harry pointed to the notebook. "Doing so is undoubtedly attracting more enemies to ourselves."
"Yes," Zhang Qiu sighed. She put her hands together, covering her nose. "I have to go back and ask my master carefully about the specific situation, but judging from the existing information, Tang Tang Nade seems to have gained nothing, but this is impossible... Will Elena be the transformer he trusts?"
"Is Tang Tang Nade suspecting Cui Ge, or does he feel that Cui Ge is not easy to control? If the beneficiary of the change is only Tang Tang Nade himself, do the others in the Magical Congress just watch?" Zhang Qiu threw out a series of questions. "Is it unpacking? But would Tang Tang Nade really be kind enough to share with others? Or is it that Master Xuanjun sold it twice?"
"Yes, Tang Tang Nade and some other councilors are at odds, they are divided into two factions. Theoretically, we have to include both factions in our consideration," Harry followed her line of thinking. "Then will this year's transfer students—"
"Is anyone boarding at Luo Tang Nade's house?" Zhang Qiu asked suddenly.
"No... no, yes!" Harry suddenly realized. "I heard Jin Ni mention it, it's a fifth-year girl named Lucine White."
"This is also Tang Tang Nade's smoke bomb. He has learned to borrow the power of another faction to set up a maze," Zhang Qiu analyzed while touching her chin. "You can let Luo Tang Nade invite Hermione. If he is too shy to go, just give him that White. White will definitely agree."
"You mean to say that all fifteen transfer students are smoke bombs, and White is a maze within the smoke bombs, and his killing move against Hermione is hidden in a place we can't see?" Harry blinked.
"Yes, and I have a premonition that he won't give up on Elena so easily. There must be some kind of backhand in this."
"I feel very suffocated," Harry sighed. "We are always passively analyzing problems. If only there was some way to actively obtain information."
"Is this the first time you realized the importance of intelligence agencies?" Zhang Qiu suddenly smiled. "You are right, our own poor analysis is useless. I have decided, I will run to the Embroidered Uniform Guard again after I go back."
"Then who can I ask? The Ministry of Magic didn't set up a Military Intelligence Section 7." Harry sighed.
"Actually, according to what I heard, there are wizard agents in MI6," Zhang Qiu said. "What you need to do might be, write a letter to Jim Hacker?"
"Me?" Harry opened his innocent eyes wide. "I write to the Prime Minister?"
"Then let the Minister for Magic write." Zhang Qiu shrugged.
Harry dragged his feet toward the dormitory. What made him feel disappointed was that Zhang Qiu's mind was obviously not on the dance. Of course, she was right, and she also reminded herself that it was wrong to indulge in the dance at this turbulent time.
But what could he do? The knight he had the highest hopes for was waiting for him to bring back news about the dance.
When Harry walked into the common room, he saw Yifu and Jin Ni sitting between two unfamiliar girls—and these two transfer students were both blonde with red lips, broad-chested, and looked charming and moving.
"It's not bad for Luo Tang Nade," he thought. "Tang Tang Nade is still very willing to pay." ===== CHAPTER 413 =====
