Chapter 227 The Curse of Hogwarts

"No—no," Loila said, tapping her fingers. "Of course not!"

Dumbledore chuckled softly upon hearing this: "Really?"

What does this mean? Don't you trust me?

Okay, I think I did chat with her—

Loila pursed her lips, lowered her head, and whispered, "I—I didn't contact her first—"

"I've heard a little about that," Dumbledore said with a slight nod. "Professor Rozier seems to have a good relationship with Professor Hamilton."

You two seem to have a good relationship? Where did you hear that from?

"We—" Loila thought for a moment and said, "Our relationship isn't exactly good—"

"It's probably not a good thing —"

"It could be very bad—right?" Loila's voice trailed off. She didn't really want to talk badly about others behind their backs, except, of course, Dumbledore.

Moreover, Miss Shiloh is essentially on the same side as Loila.

Hearing Loila's words, Dumbledore nodded knowingly: "I've heard some rumors about Professor Rozier before."

"Do you know—Vida Rozier?"

"Ugh!" Loila shuddered and dared not speak.

"Of course you know, right?" Dumbledore chuckled softly. "I almost forgot, you once fought against the Mublists."

"Miss Shiloh Rozier's aunt is Vida Rozier, and there are rumors that she might become the new head of the Rozier family." Dumbledore paused, then continued, "However, these are probably just rumors."

Why are you telling me all this? Are you just trying to scare me by bringing up Ms. Vida's name?

Or... or are you starting to suspect Miss Shiloh? How could Miss Shiloh not be suspected? Her surname is the biggest problem.

So, should I help Miss Hilo? Should I open it up for her?

Loila carefully observed Dumbledore's smiling eyes and felt unprecedented pressure—if she spoke up for Miss Shiloh, wouldn't Dumbledore become suspicious of her?

While Loira was brainstorming, Dumbledore coughed lightly, changing the subject: "Miss Hamilton, shall we talk about something more interesting?"

"Hmm...okay...okay." Loila was happy to stop discussing Miss Hilo; it was really making her blood pressure rise.

"I plan to reopen the Duel Club."

"Um?!"

Something's not right! Loila immediately stared wide-eyed at Dumbledore, her pointed ears twitching nervously.

Even she understood why Dumbledore had told her this.

"Dumbledore—I have to—make a lot of necklaces—and magic array textbooks—and research new magic arrays—" Loila whispered, "I'm a little—a little overwhelmed—"

“I’ve heard about this from Minerva,” Dumbledore nodded slightly. “However—it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the dueling club I mentioned.”

"Because Miss Hilo volunteered to become the instructor of the Duel Club."

"what?"

Loila breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news—thankfully, Dumbledore wasn't asking her to be some kind of instructor. Why would someone like her, who could only talk eloquently about magic arrays, be an instructor?

That's a bit too much—too much of a human touch.

Even Veela would find this difficult, okay?

"but----"

Geek!

Upon hearing Dumbledore's "but," Royla felt the hairs on her body stand on end.

"Professor Rozier hopes you can participate as a teaching assistant for the first class."

"—" Loila lowered her head, her face pale, her pointed ears twitching. "This—this isn't quite right—"

"Isn't that a good thing?" Dumbledore asked thoughtfully. "Why?"

Why?!

Why do you think that is?

Miss Hilo isn't planning to kill me at the dueling club, is she?! No way! What if she unleashes a killing curse or something—then everything's over!

Roy really doesn't want her to be exposed! But if he fights her, then she'll definitely—she'll definitely be exposed, right?!

"I'm a little... a little busy..." Loila had just started to speak when Dumbledore gently tapped the table and said, "It's alright, Miss Hamilton."

"This will only take one class period," he said, shrugging. "Just like last year, you don't need to say anything."

"All I need to do is fight Miss Rozier."

Why is she called Miss Rosier here?! Dumbledore, are you doing this on purpose?!

Royla shrank back, trying to find another excuse, but Dumbledore sighed again.

"If Miss Hamilton is truly unwilling—then I'll have to go." He shook his head with a regretful look: "I wonder if my old bones can still—"

"I—I'll go—" Loila said tremblingly.

Please—Dumbledore go? Is Miss Heeroux going to fight Dumbledore?

Loila was really afraid that before the duel even started, Miss Hilo would unleash the Killing Curse—

"That's wonderful." Hearing Royla's words, Dumbledore immediately smiled. "I'm looking forward to seeing how you do."

Why...why do I feel like I've been tricked?

As Roy walked out of the principal's office, he hung his head helplessly—was he really going to have to fight Miss Shiloh?

We're all members of the UMNO party—what if—what if we expose something? That would be terrible!

Although Miss Shiloh might want to kill him, Roy didn't want her to go to Azkaban or anything like that—she and he were both loyal to Lord Grindelwald, yet now they were going to kill each other on Dumbledore's territory.

Is there really such a cruel thing?

And he also had to do everything in his power to prevent Miss Hilo from being exposed—in case she used the Killing Curse—

But how can I prevent her from using the Killing Curse?

After much thought, Loy could only come up with one solution.

----------------

That is to end the battle quickly—just like when I fought Mr. Lockhart—just end the battle quickly, right?

That way—that way Miss Shiloh won't have a chance to use the Killing Curse—

Loila nodded to herself, deciding to do some special training when she got back. Dumbledore mentioned the Duel Club, and there were still two days left—two days should be enough time for her to practice, right?

But—but why did Miss Hilo volunteer to take on this task?

Could it be that she wants to train all these students to be Lord Grindelwald's saints?
