"Elwyn, do you remember what Sirius said?!" Hermione analyzed, combining the information she had so far, "Kakarov is a Death Eater, he might be plotting something, and he seems to have a good relationship with Snape …"
"Don't think too much, Hermione!" Elwyn said, he knew what Hermione was talking about, but the truth was not what she thought.
Hermione had too little information, she could not completely analyze this incident, and the conclusion she got was wrong.
She had only seen part of the story, there was still a lot of information she did not understand, and Elwyn could not say it directly.
He thought for a moment, then continued, "Snape and Kakarov should have been talking about something related to the Lord Voldemort. You know, the Lord Voldemort's power is gradually growing, and Kakarov has the mark of the Lord Voldemort on him, he must be able to feel all this, so he is afraid, and wants to abandon them to escape."
"The Lord Voldemort's power is increasing, why would Kakarov be afraid?" Hermione said, "Isn't he a Death Eater?!"
"To be precise, he is a Death Eater who has already betrayed us. In order to not be imprisoned in Azkaban, he betrayed many of his companions!" Elwyn replied, "If I were the Lord Voldemort, I would definitely not let him go."
"But Snape …"
"Snape is trustworthy, Dumbledore believes in him, we should also believe in him!" Elwyn said quickly, "Alright, Hermione, don't think about this anymore! What we need to do now is to increase our strength, and find the remaining secret treasure keys as soon as possible. You and Harry also need to accumulate combat experience, and master a few more powerful spells, just in case. "
Hermione nodded nervously. Elwyn then thought of something else.
Based on the current situation, it was impossible to decipher all the Demon Language, Ancient Magic Text, and Silence Magic in a short period of time.
Elwyn estimated that it would take at least a year. Since that was the case, he did not intend to delay any further. He was ready to speed up the search for the secret treasure key left by the mermaid and Ravenclaw, and get the second Sorcerer's Stone as soon as possible.
The Sorcerer's Stone was a magic tool that could help a wizard increase his or her magic power quickly.
Since the return of the Lord Voldemort could not be stopped, it was urgent and crucial for him to improve his own strength.
Especially by increasing Hermione's strength, he would be able to protect himself when facing the Death Eaters.
Elwyn did not have to worry too much about himself, he had already made a lot of preparations.
Not long ago, Elwyn also received a letter from Sirius: Sirius had already helped him register the Phantom Manifestation with the Ministry of Magic. When he used this spell, he would not have to worry about being detected by the wizards of the Ministry of Magic because he was not old enough.
Of course, this was only the first step.
To fully master the Phantom Manifestation, Elwyn still needed to practice. He had only understood the theory.
Sirius told him that on the next Hogsmeade Day, he would come over to help him practice.
When Elwyn fully mastered this spell, he would have an extra layer of protection against the Lord Voldemort. If he could not win, he could escape.
The Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters would definitely not think that Elwyn would master the Phantom Manifestation spell and would not be on guard.
In fact, Elwyn estimated the strength of the Lord Voldemort. He was probably a little stronger than the current Dumbledore, but not by much. However, he did not have any confidence in that scary evil god!
In short, improving his strength was the most important and urgent thing at the moment.
After Snape and Kakarov left, Elwyn and Hermione were no longer in the mood for their date, so they planned to return to the castle.
Because they did not want to meet Ron and Lavender, they did not walk the same way they came, but took a detour.
After a few minutes, Elwyn and Hermione came to a large stone reindeer.
When they passed the stone reindeer, they saw a tall fountain with water splashing and sparkling.
Two huge vague figures were sitting on a stone bench, looking at the spring under the moonlight.
Then, Elwyn heard Hagrid talking.
"I knew it the moment I saw you," he said in a very strange hoarse voice.
Elwyn and Hermione were stunned and looked at each other. This scene seemed to be something they should not disturb.
They were ready to slip away, not wanting to eavesdrop on the conversation between Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim.
Hagrid definitely hated people eavesdropping, especially when this was the time for him to muster up the courage to confess to Mrs. Maxim.
If this matter was ruined by Elwyn and Hermione, it would be even worse.
As soon as they took two steps forward, they saw Hibiscus Chinensis and Roger Davis walking along the path towards them.
Hermione looked at Elwyn in panic. If this went on, they would definitely be seen by Hibiscus Chinensis, and then Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim would be alarmed.
What should they do? They must hide!
This was Elwyn's first reaction. He did not have time to think about it. He pulled Hermione and went into the bushes next to the path.
When they went in, they realized why they had to hide. If they were discovered, wouldn't it be even more difficult to explain?!
He and Hermione did nothing, but if they were seen huddling in the bushes …
Then, Elwyn found that the space inside was really small. How did those couples squeeze in?!
The space in the low bushes was very small. It was impossible to stand or squat. They could only lie on the ground or lie flat.
Elwyn and Hermione were now in an awkward position. When Elwyn came in, he found that the size of the space was a bit wrong. He just turned around, and before he had time to adjust or retreat, he was pushed by Hermione, who came in behind him, and fell to the ground.
Hermione had just entered the bushes in a panic. Because of the uneven ground, she tripped and fell forward.
Then, she directly lay on Elwyn's body.
No matter how you looked at this scene, it was Hermione who pushed Elwyn.
Their bodies were close together, very close, and their posture was very ambiguous.
Elwyn saw Hermione's flustered little face in front of him, and could even feel her breathing.
He reached out to cover Hermione's mouth, not letting her scream. He blinked, indicating that there were still people outside.
Hermione nodded slightly, indicating that she understood. Only then did Elwyn let go of his hand.
They were no longer in the mood to pay attention to the situation outside. The atmosphere in the bushes suddenly became hot, and the temperature gradually rose. Both of their bodies had a reaction.
Hermione, whose face was flushed red, didn't know where to place her head. It was too tiring to just hold it like that.
The feeling of looking Elwyn in the eyes at such a close distance was too awkward and nerve-wracking!
But if she put her head down, where could she put it?
There were two choices. One was to turn in another direction and place her head on Elwyn's shoulder, giving up on resisting and placing her center of gravity on Elwyn. The other was to put her head down vertically and continue using her hands to support herself on the ground. But right now, her head was directly below Elwyn's face. If she put her head down vertically, wouldn't that be kissing?
