At seven o'clock in the evening, Qin Weijie and Tom came to the Hufflepuff Headmaster's office. Both of them looked embarrassed at this time.
As soon as they entered the door, Aunt Katie couldn't help but look at them with laughter and asked, "What's wrong? You really don't want to come to my class?"
As he spoke, he pretended to be cold and frightened Qin Weijie. When Qin Weijie saw this, he quickly apologized and said, "Aunt, how is that possible? Of course I like your class the most. Aunt, you are beautiful and gentle, and class is interesting to me." Of course I’m eager to take your class.”
"Glib tongue." Aunt Katie chuckled and rolled her eyes at Qin Weijie, then looked at Tom: "What about you?"
"Professor Selwyn, I...I don't want to take your class!"
I go! Qin Weijie looked at Tom with a shocked expression. This boy usually pretends to be a good student. Why did he change his gender today? Doesn't he think he has a long life?
Ordinarily Tom also knew that Aunt Katie was a cruel person.
At least half of the assassinations against Qin Weijie last year were planned by Aunt Katie. Although the plan was exposed later, she gave up on Qin Weijie, and her views on Qin Weijie also changed obviously.
But a ruthless person is a ruthless person. If you make Aunt Katie angry, I might throw you into the "Bone Piranha" flower bed tonight and destroy your body.
"Oh, why?" Aunt Katie asked coldly without getting angry.
Seeing Aunt Katie's expression, Qin Weijie sighed inwardly, "It's over, it's over, you're a good young man, why bother trying to die." '
"Professor Selwyn, I don't want to take your class, at least not today." Tom said neither humble nor arrogant, but slightly apologetic: "I was selected for Slytherin's Quidditch team. We will join you at 7:30 tonight. There is training, it is my first training, so I want to ask you for leave, you can punish me, but please let me participate in the first training."
Haha, young man, you still want to ask for leave. I'm afraid you are dreaming about eating roast chicken. Just watch, Aunt Katie won't kill you later!
Qin Weijie was teasing secretly in his heart, looking like a spectator.
However, the slap in the face was always unintentional. After listening to Tom's explanation, Aunt Katie was not angry, but showed a rare smile: "I'm teasing you, the teacher is not angry. Tom, you can ask for leave if you want, just apply in advance." alright"
"Thank you, Professor Selwyn. I'll ask you for leave today. I won't delay other classes."
After saying that, Tom turned and left with a smile on his face, not forgetting to cast a demonstrative look at Qin Weijie before leaving.
Seeing Tom leave Qin Weijie was also moved at this time. He also planned to take leave to stay in the dormitory and continue to look for clues about the "spiritual inheritance" of the Welfare family left by his mother on the statue of Rowena Ravenclaw.
"Auntie, you see I'm the only one today, why don't I ask for leave? I won't run around and will go back to the lounge later."
"Impossible!" Aunt Katie said with a cold face, completely different from before.
Auntie, you are an internationally famous double standard! Don't play like this!
"Also, I want to inform you that not only you and Tom will come to class in the future, but after the principal's research and decision, you, Tom and Elena will be allowed to come together for make-up classes. After all, you were the three highest-achieving students among the freshmen last year. You can come to class with Elena when Tom is on leave from now on." Aunt Katie said, turning around and searching for something in the drawer of her desk.
Qin Weijie: "What about today? Why isn't Elena here?"
"I specifically asked Elena not to come here today. There are some things I want you to talk to me about."
Aunt Katie said as she took out a stack of parchment from the drawer and handed it to Qin Weijie.
Qin Weijie subconsciously took the parchment, glanced at it, and started reading it, and then he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
The first page of parchment reads:
employment agreement
Assassination target: Heir to the Foley family, grandson of August Foley
Mission description: The target will arrive in England around February 10th. Hogwarts Transfiguration Professor Dumbledore will be responsible for picking up the target at the port, and then taking the target to Welfare Manor in London.
Mission purpose: Assassinate the target person at all costs.
"Hiss..." Qin Weijie looked at the parchment in his hand. The following pages contained similar employment agreements, and he was the target of the assassination. This seemed to make Qin Weijie frightened.
Qin Weijie didn't even think of it, but he had been involved in more than thirty assassination-for-hire agreements last year.
Aunt Katie obviously came to have a showdown with him today, but seeing Aunt Katie's non-malicious expression at this time, Qin Weijie could only pretend to be calm.
"finish watching?"
"Yeah," Qin Weijie nodded.
"What do you want to say?"
"I'm a little curious..." Qin Weijie thought for a moment and continued: "If my aunt wanted to kill me so much, why did she give up at the end last year?"
"You're a very smart little guy, you really knew it was me." Aunt Katie smiled bitterly before explaining:
"To be honest, I actually don't know why I gave up in the end. Maybe it's because I see the shadow of Sister Diana in you.
I think you have already guessed that I was the one who attacked you in the corridor on the second floor last semester. Many of your friends came to protect you at that time. Being able to gather so many friends around you reminds me of Sister Diana, who was at school. Like you, there will always be a group of friends around you who are willing to sacrifice for her.
What really made me hesitate was your performance that day. At that time, all your friends lost their ability to fight and you were also facing the threat of death. However, in that situation, you did not live in despair or despair, but immediately asked for help. I asked about the current situation of your friends. When you learned that I had not killed them, what surprised me was that you actually said thank you to a person who wanted to kill you. "
"Does this make you give up on killing me?" Qin Weijie was still a little unbelievable.
"This is part of the reason, but it is also a very important reason. Because after this incident, my impression of you has changed a lot. At that time, I had an inexplicable belief in my heart that you are different from the pedantic Qin family!
That night, Laurus finally arrived, and what he said moved me. There is no need to involve you with the grudges of the previous generation. After all, you are the inheritance of sister Diana’s bloodline. It was not until then that I discovered what happened. After a few months of getting along with each other, I have grown to like you, my little nephew, more and more. Just like Laveulus said, I can no longer do it."
Aunt Katie said, reaching out and touching Qin Weijie's head lovingly. Qin Weijie didn't resist at all, but just looked at Aunt Katie with a naive smile.
