Chapter 429 Durmstrang's Big Sister
"call----"
As Roy disembarked from the Durmstrang students' ship, he let out a deep sigh of relief—and then unconsciously pursed his lips.
It's finally over—I never want to do something like this again in my life—rushing into someone else's dorm, making a huge scene, and then rudely ordering them to be quiet and listen to my instructions.
Loila had clearly conveyed Dumbledore's and the Ministry of Magic's message to the Durmstrang students. In reality, it wasn't anything special; they were just told to stay calm, that the Karkaroff incident was under investigation, and that people from Germany would be arriving soon.
Incidentally, there's also the matter of telling Professor Hamilton if anything happens, and she'll try to resolve it—but what could possibly happen?
Loila didn't think they could have any needs—after all, this was a school, not some strange place like Azkaban or anything like that—
But the situation was much more complicated than she had imagined.
These students do have a real need, and this need is particularly—tricky.
That is the problem of food —
Eating in the Great Hall has become somewhat troublesome ever since they clashed with Hogwarts students, especially Gryffindor students.
Because Gryffindor students would come looking for trouble the moment they saw them, and they agreed to this—and were particularly annoyed with these Gryffindor students.
So conflicts can erupt in just a few seconds—it's okay if it happens once in a while, but if it happens every time you eat, how can you eat at all?
The Hogwarts students outnumbered and outmatched the Durmstrang students, who were less inclined to provoke them.
Therefore, their most urgent hope is whether there is any way to eat safely.
Loila instinctively suggested that they might be able to take the food back to Durmstrang's dormitory—but this provoked fierce opposition from the students.
"We can't do that, Professor Hamilton. It will make the people at Hogwarts think we're afraid."
"We are proud Durmstrang students!"
Eating alone is perfectly fine—why insist on squeezing into the auditorium? And what's with all this pride? Loila has never been proud of her background—although Durmstrang is fine too, it's really too much to ask Loila to be proud of a bunch of guys who bully her every day.
Unfortunately, these students weren't as easy to manage as Roy—they absolutely refused to eat in the cabin—but that's true, isn't it? It's a problem that needs to be addressed.
After all, you can hide from meals, but you can't hide from classes too, right? Roy didn't want to come all the way here just to tutor them or anything like that.
I finally managed to complete the mission of killing Karkaroff—
So, having just stepped out of Durmstrang's cabin, Loila had no choice but to head towards the office of the Head of Gryffindor, Professor Minerva McGonagall.
She felt that perhaps she should discuss this matter with Professor McGonagall.
However, she had just reached the office door when she heard noises coming from inside.
"Professor McGonagall, how can those Durmstrang students talk about us like that!"
"We're just trying to protect the school's reputation!"
"That's right, that's right!"
"What does that Karkaroff have to do with us? How can they blame us like this!"
Is it really that coincidental?
She instinctively tried to get away to avoid being seen by the students, but before she could do so, the office door was opened.
Several Gryffindor students walked out with their heads down, clearly having been reprimanded by Professor McGonagall.
However, upon seeing Loila, they immediately said, "Professor Hamilton, you must support us too, right?"
"How could those people say such things!"
"We clearly don't know what happened either—"
"Hmm... Ah..." Loila nodded a little awkwardly, after all, she was here to speak up for Durmstrang's students, wasn't she?
Only after they had all left did Roy breathe a sigh of relief—and then walk into the office through the slightly ajar door.
"Professor Hamilton?" McGonagall seemed a little surprised to see Loila enter. She didn't know that Loila had been assigned as a supervisor, so she raised an eyebrow and subconsciously asked, "About what happened this morning—"
"No, no, no—" Roy quickly shook her head to indicate that she hadn't come for what happened that morning. She sat obediently opposite Professor McGonagall, and after considering for a moment, she continued, "Um—Professor McGonagall—"
"I'm here to report—to report the demands of Durmstrang's students," she added. "Dumbledore—has assigned me—to temporarily oversee their situation—"
"Therefore————"
"I understand." McGonagall was a little surprised, but she still said instinctively, "We all believe you can do it."
No way—is this some kind of formulaic reaction?—Why do I subconsciously say things like this whenever the topic of what kind of work I've been assigned comes up?
Loila's pointed ears twitched, and she puffed out her cheeks, saying, "Professor McGonagall—I'm here to give some feedback!"
"Ah—I'm so sorry, so sorry." McGonagall rubbed her forehead helplessly. "I've been really busy lately, Professor Hamilton—please forgive me."
"Tell me about the problem—I think I can help you."
"Hmm—it's about food—" Loila nodded slightly and then relayed the Durmstrang student's request.
"————" McGonagall listened to the whole story with a frown, then pursed her lips slightly and said, "Professor Hamilton————This matter is a little complicated."
"Complex?" Loila was taken aback. Wasn't Professor McGonagall just telling them not to cause trouble? Why was it a little complicated?
"The complicated reason is that—not all Gryffindor students are so obedient," McGonagall said slowly. "Even if we tell them that they will be punished—they won't give up."
"Because in their view, they are protecting the school's reputation—and they really are," McGonagall said, shaking her head. "It's just that they're doing it the wrong way."
"But if you try to discipline them because of this, they will most likely not listen."
"Hmm————" That seems to be true———— In Loira's memory, the most disobedient students should be Gryffindor———— And it seems that every time something happens, it is related to them———— Actually, it is not related to them, but to Mr. Potter.
"Then—what should we do?" Loila asked after thinking for a moment. "The Durmstrang students—can they only last a week at most?"
"Hold on for a week?" McGonagall paused, somewhat confused. "What are they going to do?"
Is it possible they'll cause trouble if the issue isn't resolved within a week? — That would be absurd —
Loila pursed her lips and looked at Professor McGonagall seriously, saying, "Because if a person doesn't eat for a week, they might—they might die."
"————" McGonagall nodded silently, then after a few more seconds of silence, she said, "How about this, Professor Hamilton?"
"Tomorrow morning, we'll invite the heroes from Hogwarts and Durmstrang to breakfast—and resolve this matter temporarily over breakfast, how about that?"
"For the students at this stage of the Triwizard Tournament, the prestige of those heroes among them might be more useful."
