The more familiar he was with Elaine, the more he could feel these qualities in her.
Unlike Fred and George's pranks, Elaine was used to lying with a serious face, as if she was telling the truth.
She didn't have any bad intentions, she just thought it was fun. This guy had no resistance to fun and interesting things.
But Elwyn knew her too well, and Hermione was smart enough to recognize the truth, so she was rarely fooled.
After failing several times with them, Elaine began to shift her target to Ron.
Speaking of which, Ron was a little too easy to be fooled. Anyone who heard this absurd legend of the Headless Knight would know it was fake.
"Well, this invention of theirs is quite amazing!" Hermione looked at the hat in Fred and George's hands with interest. "They must have used some kind of invisibility spell, but expanding the area of invisibility beyond the enchanted object is quite a clever method. I'm not sure how they did it."
"They used the method of making invisibility cloaks as a reference!" Elwyn said. "They found the information in the Blake family library."
There were many advanced magic books in the library, as well as the magic research notes of the ancestors of the Blake family.
After Fred and George suggested this idea, Elwyn recommended a magic book and related information to them, and it seemed to work well.
Harry didn't participate in their conversation. He was still uncomfortable, staring at the fire with his textbook in his hand.
He really felt terrible. After being pierced by Snape, his body only felt a kind of emptiness, just like that night when he dreamt of the Evil God.
"I'll do it tomorrow." He put back the textbook he had just taken out of his bag.
"Write it down in your homework book!" Hermione suggested hurriedly. "So you won't forget it!"
Harry did as Hermione told him. He took out his homework book from his bag and carefully opened it.
"Don't talk about doing it in the future, you second-rate goods!" Ben scolded.
Harry jotted down the homework for Potionology and Divination. Hermione smiled in satisfaction.
"I'm going to bed." Harry stuffed the homework planner into his schoolbag, thinking that he would throw it into the fire as soon as he had the chance.
He rose to his feet, then paused. In front of him, bright flames danced.
Harry stared at the flames in a daze. The feeling became more and more obvious. He couldn't help but wonder if he was going to contact the Lord Voldemort again.
Not long ago, Sirius had clearly told him that the Lord Voldemort would not easily contact him now.
But the scene in front of him was getting more and more blurry. What was it this time?
In a trance, Harry didn't know where he was, whether he was standing or lying down. He didn't even know his own name.
He didn't see anything, but the crazy laughter echoed in his ears. He hadn't been so happy in a long time!
Elation, ecstasy, ecstasy, a great and wonderful thing had happened.
What was it? Harry wanted to feel it more clearly, but the other party seemed to be guarding against him.
"Harry, Harry!" Someone slapped him in the face.
There was a cry of pain in the midst of the crazy laughter. The joy gradually faded, but the laughter continued.
Harry opened his eyes and saw that the maniacal laughter had come from his own mouth.
As soon as he realized this, the laughter disappeared.
In the common room, everyone looked at him in fear.
Beside him, Elwyn had just woken him up, and he had a serious expression on his face.
Hermione was holding the homework book in her hand, as if she had been petrified. Ron's gaze was indescribably strange.
Elaine was the same. She didn't even notice that the bloody lollipop in her hand had fallen to the ground.
Harry lay on the sofa, panting, staring at the ceiling. The scar on his forehead pulsed horribly.
"What's going on? What did Lord Voldemort show you?" Elwyn asked, pulling Harry into a corner.
"I didn't see anything. He cut off the connection with me, but he's very happy. Something good happened!" Harry mumbled, panting. He felt very uncomfortable, as if he could faint at any time. "It's something he's been looking forward to."
"Harry, you shouldn't have seen this!" Ron said worriedly.
"I know!" Harry said irritably. "The Brain Seal didn't work. Instead, it weakened my resistance."
"Obviously, after Snape tormented your brain, your resistance is very weak now!" Hermione said. "The connection between you and him has strengthened, but it's strange. Why is he happy? What good thing has made him so happy? "
"Could it be that thing in the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mystery Affairs?"
"It shouldn't be. The Order of the Phoenix has sent people to watch over it!" Elwyn thought for a moment and continued. "If there's no progress with the Evil God, then those Death Eaters have probably broken out of prison, and his strength has increased."
He had already considered the current situation. The Soul Catcher's betrayal and the Death Eaters' prison break were inevitable.
They had no way to stop it. Foggy and the Ministry of Magic were not willing to trust them, and the Order of the Phoenix did not have the ability to guard Azkaban.
Although it was terrible, it was indeed within their expectations and within the scope of their plan.
If they wanted to lure Lord Voldemort out again, they had to make him feel that his strength had increased. Otherwise, he would continue to hide.
From this point of view, the Death Eaters' prison break was not entirely a bad thing.
However, there were indeed a few troublesome fellows among them.
"God, Elwyn, you mean those Death Eaters …"
"Yes, they've broken out of prison!" Elwyn said in a low voice, noticing that the others were looking at them.
"If that's really the case, we should inform Dumbledore!"
"The headmaster already knew that this would happen sooner or later. I've talked to Sirius, and the Order of the Phoenix has made some preparations!" Elwyn said. "Just wait for tomorrow's newspaper. There should be a detailed account of what happened there."
"But, I mean, what should we do? Just sit here and do nothing? "Ron said worriedly.
"You can also seize the time to learn a few more spells in preparation for future battles!" Elwyn said. "But I suggest that you and Harry go back to sleep. He's in a terrible state right now. Hmm, Harry, try to clear your mind and continue practicing Cerebral Occlusion. But nothing should happen tonight."
There was a moment of silence. Harry and Ron looked at Elwyn in shock.
The Death Eaters had broken out of prison, and Elwyn actually suggested that they go back to sleep …
But after thinking about it carefully, there was really nothing they could do. They could only wait and see.
Elwyn buried his head in his herbal textbook again. This incident was a major turning point. Their peaceful life was over!
As expected, they saw the report in the newspaper the next day.
As usual, when Hermione's Daily Prophet arrived, she opened it and looked at the front page first.
Then she slammed the newspaper down on the table, knocking over the glass of milk.
"Look!" She pointed at the thirty small black and white photos that filled the front page. The faces of twenty-nine wizards and one witch.
Some were laughing silently, some were arrogantly tapping their fingers on the frame. Each photo had a name and the crime of being imprisoned in Azkaban.
Antonin Dolohov, a wizard with a long, pale, twisted face, was sneering at them.
He had brutally murdered Gideon and Febianpwit, the brother of Lady Weasley and the uncle of Ron and Ginny.
August Rookwood, a pockmarked man with greasy hair, leaned against the frame with a tired expression.
