Levin's delay in inviting her wasn't because he didn't care about her, but because he was genuinely too busy to think about it.
However, the thought that Levin had already invited Hermione made her feel like she had swallowed a sour fruit, and she couldn't help but provoke him with a remark.
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Qiu regretted it.
So she waited anxiously for a while, but Levin didn't catch up with 810.
As Zhang Qiu walked, he pondered, feeling increasingly guilty.
She began to recall each and every moment she had spent with Levin.
Levin gave her such precious elixir of power, gave her a new fairy silver wand, and made her fully versed in arcane magic.
What Hermione and the others had, Cho Chang also had.
How could she think Levin didn't care about her?
Ultimately, it all comes down to her low self-esteem...
She clearly swore she wouldn't cause Levin any trouble, but now she's throwing a tantrum...
If Levin could hear Cho Chang's heartfelt words, he would be deeply moved.
Because this girl is just too...
Saying "lick" is too harsh; "cherish" is just right.
Even if she occasionally loses her temper, she can't hold it in for long; after only two days, she's already convinced herself to calm down.
As Zhang Qiu walked, she blamed herself. When she aimlessly reached the lobby on the first floor, she suddenly heard someone call her name.
Turning around, the girl saw a handsome face with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a boyish charm.
It was Cedric Diggory, the prefect of Hufflepuff.
“Zhang Qiu, can you be my dance partner at the Christmas ball?” Cedric Diggory quickly came up to Zhang Qiu and handed her a small pink box.
Zhang Qiu didn't take it. Just as she was about to refuse, Cedric quickly said, "Zhang Qiu, when we first met at a Quidditch match, I was deeply attracted by your beauty and elegance."
"Every time I sweat it out on the Quidditch pitch, it's so you can see my abilities. Every time I go to the library, it's so I can see you and have more opportunities to be with you. No one has ever moved me like this before. I really like you, and I hope you can give me a chance."
Cedric's thick, long eyebrows were unusually not furrowed, his lips trembled slightly, and his gaze toward Zhang Qiu was completely devoid of his usual composure. The pleading look in his eyes made him appear exceptionally vulnerable. He once again handed the small pink box to Zhang Qiu, which contained a beautiful necklace.
“This is a gift I picked out for you in Hogsmeade. I saved up money for a year and spent a lot of time working for the Weasley twins to finally buy this necklace for you.”
Zhang Qiu was touched, but still intended to refuse. Just as she was hesitating about how to say it, Cedric interrupted her again.
He's gone. Being around him will only get you hurt.
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded behind him: "Unfortunately, I'm going to disappoint you. With me, Zhang Qiu will not be harmed in any way, and it's none of your business what she does."
A man emerged from the shadows behind them—Levin Green.
"Slandering your rival behind his back? I never thought someone as handsome as Cedric Diggory would do something like this." Levin glanced at Cedric with disdain.
Zhang Qiu was already a little angry because of Cedric's words, and when she saw Levin appear, she immediately became anxious and hurriedly explained to him, "Don't misunderstand, Levin. If he hadn't kept interrupting me, I would have rejected him long ago."
Then she turned to Cedric: "I'm sorry, Mr. Diggory, I cannot accept your invitation."
Levin didn't say much, but gently took Zhang Qiu's hand.
His actions immediately turned the girl's worries into joy.
Levin led Zhang Qiu away from the hall.
Halfway there, Levin suddenly turned back and said, "By the way, I invested in George and Fred's business. They told me that your alchemy skills are quite good, and the badge prototypes you make are of excellent quality... Anyway, thank you for making money for me."
Having said that, they ignored Cedric, whose face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water, and walked away.
The two walked to a secluded corner, and Levin activated [Mansion Spell] to send them back to the tower.
“I’m sorry, Zhang Qiu.” In the cozy bedroom of the girl Zhang Qiu, Levin gently held her hand and expressed his apology: “I was too engrossed in the experiment before and neglected your feelings. It was my fault.”
Zhang Qiu felt the warmth of Levin's hand, her eyes welled up with tears, and she quickly shook her head: "No, I'm also responsible. I was too willful. I shouldn't have doubted you, and I shouldn't have thrown a tantrum when you were busy. I'm sorry, Levin."
Levin shook his head slightly, indicating that he did not blame Zhang Qiu.
“Luna and I have already talked.” Levin gently stroked the girl’s long hair, his movements soft and tender, as if he were handling a precious treasure. “I never realized that you were under so much pressure. As your boyfriend, I should care for you more and understand you.”
Zhang Qiu felt Levin's gentleness, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
She tilted her head slightly, looking into Levin's eyes as if asking him what he was about to say.
“Now, I want to tell you that you are unique to me.” Levin’s voice was full of sincerity and determination. “You don’t need to care about Cerira, or Hermione. To me, you are all unique, and each of you holds an irreplaceable place in my heart. No one is more important than anyone else; you are all in my life.”
The most precious wings.
Zhang Qiu was moved by Levin's words, and her watery eyes filled with deep affection.
The girl gently bit her lower lip, as if trying to control her emotions, then she raised her head, looked into Levin's eyes, and said firmly, "I believe you, Levin."
“If you want,” Levin suddenly leaned close to her ear, his warm breath tickling her heart.
“I can prove all of this to you.”
Levin had his own way of comforting Cho, a way that the naive Luna had never even considered.
Although it was broad daylight, Zhang Qiu warmly accepted Levin's apology.
The two argued until 2 p.m. before finally returning to the castle.
At this point, Zhang Qiu had been infused with Levin's love and positive energy, and no longer harbored any resentment towards him.
Chapter 332 Azkaban and the Disappearance of the Account Book
After Levin reassured Cho Chang and Luna at Hogwarts, good news also came from the Ministry of Magic.
Jaina sent a message inviting him to the tower for a detailed discussion.
The moment the two met, she dropped a bombshell on Levin:
“Did you know? Just a few days ago, there was another prisoner breakout in Azkaban. Someone actually attacked the Auror guards, cleverly used Polyjuice Potion to infiltrate the prison, and then used Polyjuice Potion in the chaos to switch the prisoners who were about to be released with the Death Eaters who shouldn’t have been released.”
"Really?!" Levin exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief. "How could something like this happen? Azkaban is utterly rotten!"
“Who says otherwise?” Jaina curled her lip in disdain. “Back when you designed that Arcane Eye live-streaming system for the Triwizard Tournament, I even suggested that the Ministry of Magic purchase a few sets and install them in Azkaban as surveillance equipment. But that old man Fudge vetoed it outright.”
“He might be using this as a way for you to further expand your power,” Levin guessed, having a fairly good understanding of Fudge’s character.
“You’re right.” Jaina nodded, her eyes filled with disdain. “This guy is so power-hungry, yet he’s completely incompetent. When something goes wrong, he just tries to cover it up. Like this time, he didn’t have the courage to admit to the wizarding world that another breakout had occurred in Azkaban, so he could only investigate in secret. But…”
How could he possibly catch the mastermind behind this with just an internal investigation? Ha!
Levin frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I suspect this incident is related to Barty Crouch Jr. There are many Death Eaters under the Dark Lord, but few are truly loyal to him and willing to work hard for him. After thinking about it carefully, I think only Barty Crouch Jr. has the resources and conditions to do so."
He paused, then added, "When I was monitoring him before, I heard him say that he urgently needed to find some helpers. Think about it, at a time like this, anyone who could help him would be a die-hard loyalist of the Dark Lord. Besides recruiting from Azkaban, where else could he find helpers?"
At this point, Levin recalled what Helena had recently reported to him—Professor Moody's whereabouts had indeed been somewhat mysterious recently.
Levin suddenly looked up and asked, "Speaking of which, which Death Eaters have successfully escaped from prison?"
Gianna hesitated for a moment, then uttered a series of names: "Antonin Dolokhov, Bellatrix Lestrange, Labastan Lestrange, Rodolfos Lestrange..."
Each of them is a core member of the Death Eaters, and each possesses unique skills: each has their own extraordinary abilities, each has their own unique moves, their fighting spirit and patience are astonishing, and their secret dark magic brings unexpected surprises!
Fortunately, they did not use violence to escape this time, so not many Death Eaters managed to get away.
With Levin and his team's current strength, plus the elite Auror squad they control, these people pose no threat whatsoever.
"Speaking of which, it was because of their prison break that we were able to get those death row inmates for you. Shireira was quite decisive. After being ordered to support Azkaban, she found an opportunity and immediately kidnapped four people. Afterwards, these four people were all included in the list of escapees."
Speaking of this, Jaina's face showed an expression of admiration.
Upon hearing this, Levin was both amused and exasperated.
He then thought of that bank robber joke.
News reports stated that a bank was robbed of 100 million yuan, but the robbers only counted 20 million yuan.
Even the robbers had to admit, "You guys are really good at robbing, aren't you?"
In fact, it is not uncommon for Muggle organizations to take advantage of natural disasters or man-made calamities to settle accounts or deliberately set fires to warehouses.
Who would have thought that Azkaban would also pull this stunt?
"I never expected Cirira to do something like this," Levin said, somewhat surprised.
Perhaps influenced by Levin after spending so much time with him, the current Ciri is significantly more decisive than the witch hunter in The Witcher 3.
Jaina remarked, "This girl really likes you; she would do anything for you."
She paused for a moment, then said, "She and those four death row inmates are in my house right now. You can grant them access in a bit."
Levin understood immediately. Entering and exiting the tower using the [Mansion Technique] required an intelligence mark. Apart from Levin himself, anyone else who wanted to bring outsiders into the tower needed to apply to Levin.
At this point, Jaina added a reminder:
"Oh, by the way, Xiruihong is going to Albania soon to hunt down World Cup fugitives. Since the Auror reforms, the crackdown on these fugitives has intensified, forcing many criminals to flee the country. This job won't be short, so remember to say goodbye to her properly later."
Albania's Black Forest is somewhat similar to the Golden Triangle, a veritable no-man's-land in the magical world.
Since it's unmanaged, it easily breeds darkness and chaos, making it a favorite haunt of all sorts of dark wizards.
These days, when fugitives want to live under assumed names, this is the first place they choose.
“Of course.” Levin nodded; he certainly wouldn’t let the girl who had made such a huge sacrifice for him down.
"Don't worry, I definitely will." Levin nodded in agreement. He knew that this girl had done a lot for him, and naturally he didn't want to disappoint her.
When Albania and the World Cup were mentioned, Levin suddenly remembered something:
"By the way, Jaina, I remember there's a witch in the Ministry of Magic named Bertha Joggins. How is she doing lately?"
"She's just an ordinary Ministry of Magic employee, why are you suddenly asking about her?" Jaina asked, puzzled, not understanding why Levin would notice such an ordinary employee.
0 ??????
“I recently heard Crouch mention something while I was monitoring him. It seems Mr. Crouch used a powerful forgetting spell on Bertha,” Levin replied, half-jokingly.
In fact, this is a clue mentioned in the original book. When the woman was getting Barty Crouch Sr.'s signature, she overheard the house-elf Sparkle talking to Barty Crouch Jr., who was supposed to be in prison, and discovered the secret that Crouch Jr. was still alive.
Therefore, old Crouch had to cast a powerful forgetting spell on Bertha to make her forget the incident.
However, the spell was too powerful; it caused permanent damage to Bertha's memory. Bertha became forgetful.
“She just returned from a vacation in Albania, no wonder she’s becoming increasingly forgetful. She’s a crucial witness exposing old Crouch’s crimes, I’ll have someone protect her.” Jaina immediately became interested upon hearing this.
After a few more words, Jaina hurriedly went home with the authority badge given to her by Levin.
