Scrimgeour's demands were all one-sided. He hoped that Elwyn and Harry would help him and create the impression that the Ministry of Magic was still in control of the situation. However, he refused to accept Elwyn's suggestions, and he had nothing to offer in exchange.
At the very least, in Elwyn's opinion, there was nothing in the Ministry of Magic that could move him.
Naturally, his demands could not be approved by Elwyn, Harry, or Dumbledore.
After his efforts failed, Scrimgeour tried to find out Dumbledore's plans and whereabouts, but he was also rejected by Elwyn and Harry. In the end, he said that Elwyn and Harry were "Dumbledore's people" and left.
Obviously, in Scrimgeour's eyes, Dumbledore and his people were part of the people who were against the Ministry of Magic.
In a sense, they were "enemies". Elwyn did not know how Scrimgeour formed this wrong impression, but looking at his and Percy's figures, he felt that the first-class medal of Sir Merlin Regiment had nothing to do with him.
Scrimgeour and Percy's visit quickly dissipated the happy mood created by Christmas.
Lady Weasley would cry from time to time. Even the slightest thing would make her sad.
Ever since Christmas, when Fred, George, and Ron splashed parsnip sauce on Percy's glasses and dashed out of the house without looking back, she had been like this. No matter how much Fred, George, and Ron apologized, it was useless.
Even when everyone had to return to Hogwarts after the holiday, she was still worried.
No, this seemed to be the thing that worried her the most.
"Don't cry, Mom, it's okay …" Ginny patted her back.
Lady Weasley hugged Ginny and sobbed on her shoulder.
"Don't worry about Percy, he's just a stupid pig, not worth worrying about, right?" Ron said.
Mrs. Weasley's only answer was to throw her arms around him and sob harder.
No matter who it was, even if it was an outsider like Elwyn, Harry, Hermione, or Elaine, Lady Weasley's reaction would be the same.
She would hug everyone and cry for a long time, then repeatedly told them to take good care of themselves at school.
She was just too worried. Worried about everyone. Her heartstrings were too taut.
The minister's visit, Lady Weasley's sensitive reaction, and the end of the holiday made everyone's heart heavy.
The only comforting thing was Sirius's letter, which was delivered by an exhausted owl on the day after New Year's.
In the letter, he briefly described the current situation. Due to the need to keep it a secret, it was not very detailed, but from the few words, it could be seen that the "Raven's Claw" was very difficult to deal with, and his actions were related to whether or not they could defeat Lord Voldemort, which was a big deal.
To be more precise, it was related to understanding and defeating the Evil God.
Regarding this big deal, Elwyn had some doubts. What did Sirius discover?
The letter did not say, and it was impossible to ask Sirius in a short period of time.
It seemed that he could only ask Dumbledore.
In addition, Sirius did not seem to have any plans to return to England in the short term, which was also Dumbledore's request.
In the letter, he asked everyone if they liked his Christmas present, which he had ordered a few months ago …
In the last few days of the holiday, the topic was focused on raising elves at home and the big things that Sirius was doing.
In the evening a few days after New Year's, Elwyn, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Elaine, and Ginny lined up by the stove in the kitchen, ready to return to Hogwarts.
The Ministry of Magic arranged a one-time flight network connection for the students to return to school quickly and safely.
Only Lady Weasley saw them off. Mr. Weasley, Fred, George, Bill, and Hibiscus Chinensis all had to work.
When saying goodbye, she cried again. She hugged each of them one by one and told them worriedly.
She even said a lot to Elaine, whom she had just met.
In Lady Weasley's opinion, Elaine's current biggest problem was that she was too thin. She did not care whether Elaine was a vampire or not. Anyway, her habit of drinking only dragon's blood was not good. During this Christmas holiday, under Lady Weasley's strong request, she developed the habit of drinking milk before going to bed.
Of course, there still had to be a little blood in the milk to suit her taste and be able to drink it …
However, this little blood was not dragon's blood.
Elaine said that dragon's blood was food. It contained too much magic, so it was not good to drink it before going to bed, so there must be a substitute.
But why was this substitute Elwyn's blood?
Elwyn had asked Elaine before. First, she was not interested in the blood of other animals. Second, there was no magic in his blood, so there was no problem of not being able to digest it. Lastly, she liked the taste very much, which was something that Elwyn could not refute.
Ever since she had bitten him on the bed during the night attack, she had been obsessed with his taste.
Elwyn suspected that she agreed to Lady Weasley's request to drink a glass of milk every night. Was it because she wanted his blood?
In order to prevent herself from being ambushed, Elwyn finally agreed to add a drop of blood to Elaine's milk every night.
This bit of blood was nothing to him, but it still felt weird. It was as if he was really raising a vampire. Although he had been raising a vampire for a long time, using gold coins to buy dragon's blood and using his own blood to feed it were two completely different feelings, okay?!
However, if he did not pay this bit of blood, it would mean that he did not support Elaine's growth by drinking milk. Other than that, he also had to be careful of her attacks. Elaine would not really bite through Elwyn's skin, but there was no problem holding it in her mouth. Imagine the feeling of being suddenly pulled over by an Elaine and sucked hard …
It was better to give her some blood. After witnessing Elaine's "attack," even Hermione advised Elwyn.
This was something that couldn't be argued about. Elaine was a vampire to begin with, so she had this privilege. She did not really want to drink Elwyn's blood. She just needed to mix a little in the milk for flavor. This had nothing to do with evil or morality. It was completely the personal hobby of the vampire Elaine.
Before leaving, Lady Weasley also told Elaine to drink milk on time when she returned to school, so that she could grow taller.
Elaine gladly accepted it. Who knew if she really liked milk, or if she liked to drink the condiments in the milk?
Anyway, before Elaine got tired of milk or her body grew up, Elwyn had a heavy task and responsibility …
The next time he saw Keresis, he must make this guy pay a lot of money for the meal.
In addition, Lady Weasley told Elwyn to take care of himself and keep an eye on Harry and Ron. Don't let them get into trouble.
Elwyn agreed and said goodbye to Lady Weasley. He walked into the fireplace of the Shack and took a last look at the Weasley's kitchen and Lady Weasley's tearful face.
