The horrifying body that was rotting and filled with ravines appeared in front of Elwyn. It grew larger and larger, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.
An Evil God wasn't something a dark creature of Boggart's level could conjure. Even without Iven's incantation, he would still be done for. However, when the gigantic body of the "Evil God" disappeared, the entire house shook slightly.
"What was the monster that appeared at the end?" Hermione asked softly. Only the sound of Lady Weasley sobbing could be heard in the room.
"The evil god that I've been telling you about. The true form that I saw in the illusion." Elwyn put his wand back.
There was a short silence. Hermione had imagined the appearance of the evil god countless times, but she had never thought that it would be so terrifying.
"Thank you, Elwyn. Thanks to you, I thought that I could deal with that Boggart!" Lady Weasley said, her tears falling uncontrollably. Then, she suddenly covered her face with her hands and wailed.
Elwyn and Hermione had never seen her like this before. In everyone's eyes, she had always been the image of a smart and capable person.
"I've been dreaming lately. I saw them die, die, die!" She said, sobbing. "I can always see them. Sometimes, when I'm busy, a terrifying thought will suddenly appear in my mind …"
Just then, the living room door was slammed open. Everyone downstairs ran up in a panic.
Lupin was the first to rush in with his wand in his hand. Kingsley and Mr. Weasley followed, followed by Tonks, Harry, Ron, Ginny, Fred, and George. Finally, Moody dragged his heavy steps over.
"What was that sound just now … God, Molly, are you alright?"
"Mother, why are you crying?"
"What happened?" Mr. Weasley hurried over.
In the blink of an eye, Lady Weasley was on his shoulder, crying her heart out.
"It's the Boggart hiding in the table. It …" Hermione explained what had just happened to everyone.
"Alright, it's alright, Molly. That's just a Boggart!" Mr. Weasley said gently, gently lying on his back and handing her a handkerchief. "Everything you see is not real!"
"I'm such a fool. I can't even handle a Boggart," Lady Weasley said, blowing her nose.
"Don't talk nonsense. You're just too worried!"
"Yeah, I'm really, really, really worried." As she spoke, tears streamed down from her eyes again. "Home, home, half of our family is in the Order of the Phoenix. Unless there's a miracle, we'll all escape from death. That's what happened to Gideon and Fibian back then. They just went out to carry out an ordinary mission, and then never came back. And Po, Po, Percy, he won't talk to us anymore. What if something terrible happens and we never get a chance to reconcile with him? If we're all killed, what should we do? Who will take care of Ron and Ginny? "
Seeing her like this, Elwyn, Harry, and Hermione recalled the old photo of the Order of the Phoenix that Moody had taken out. Everyone in the photo had a cheerful face, but who would have thought that most of the people in the photo were now gone?
"Molly, that's enough!" Lupin said decisively. "This is different from last time. The Order of the Phoenix is more tightly organized now. We have a good start and know what Lord Voldemort plans to do …"
When Mrs. Weasley heard the name, she let out a scream of terror.
"Oh, Molly, be brave. You should be used to hearing his name now!"
"Listen, we can't guarantee that no one will be hurt. No one can guarantee that, but our current situation is indeed much better than last time. You weren't in the Order of the Phoenix at that time, so you don't understand the death of your brothers … Last time, the Death Eaters outnumbered us twenty to one. They killed us one by one."
Would it really be that easy?
Lord Voldemort was not a fool. He would constantly expand his army in search of greater power. The number of Death Eaters did not mean anything.
Not to mention the mysterious and terrifying Evil God, even in the original plot, many people died when the war started again. Sirius, Moody, Snape, Fred, Corin, Lupin, Tonks, and even Dumbledore …
Elwyn admitted that he knew the whereabouts of the remaining soul vessels of Lord Voldemort, but it was not as simple as finding them and chanting 'Avada for your life' to Lord Voldemort.
Lord Voldemort could continue to split souls to make soul vessels. He was already a lunatic anyway.
"Don't worry about Percy, Molly," Mr. Weasley said, hugging Lady Weasley tightly. "He will change his mind. One day, Lord Voldemort will reveal his true colors. When that time comes, the entire Ministry of Magic will beg us to forgive them. "
"I'm not sure if I will accept his apology," Fred added.
"If he admits that he is a hopeless fool …" George said.
"That's right. As for who will take care of Ron and Ginny if you and Arthur are killed," Lupin said with a smile, "What do you think we will do? Let them starve?"
Lady Weasley smiled shakily and looked at Ron and Ginny who were still standing there in a daze.
"I was so stupid," she said again in a low voice and wiped her eyes.
"Don't be sad, Mom. As long as we are here, we won't let anything bad happen to you."
"Yes, everything is going well. Ron even became a prefect."
"I can take care of myself now. I'm not as bad as you think …" Ginny added hurriedly.
Elwyn, Harry, Hermione and the others left the living room to Weasley and her family. They must have a lot to talk about.
After what happened, no one was in the mood to do anything else. Lupin asked Elwyn, Harry and Hermione to go back to sleep. They returned to the kitchen to discuss how to escort everyone to the train station the next morning.
Elwyn accompanied Hermione back to her room. He could see that she was also worried and had a lot on her mind. She didn't mention anything about the president of the Student Union and the prefect again. She just hugged Elwyn in the dark quietly. That way, she would be at ease.
The two didn't speak. The previous promises and discussions were enough.
Elwyn also proved that he was trustworthy. He hoped that Hermione could leave everything to him. Although it was not her personality, at least she could be completely at ease when she was alone with him.
