Pity is actually a very lasting emotion, especially when every day you can see a big crowd of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students wandering stupidly around Hogwarts.
Every time they appear in front of Link, it is equal to reminding Link once again how miserable they are.
So, even though more than a month has passed since the dragon project ended, as long as Link sees people from these two schools, he will always let out a sincere sigh.
To lament the misfortune of these people.
At the beginning, John and the others around Link didn't really understand, but after a long time, even the other students of Hogwarts began learning from Link, sighing at those Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students.
This made Link think that the British Ministry of Magic's secret plot had been exposed.
In the end, after asking, he found out that John and that group of idle people with nothing to do had treated sighing as some new style of mockery invented by Link.
'A bunch of brats!'
Link cursed them angrily in his heart, then quickly walked into the library.
That day was the weekend, and he planned to brush up his experience in Transfiguration in the library.
Not many people were as diligent in studying as him, so the library was empty at that moment. As soon as he entered, Link saw Hermione, and beside her, the bear-like Krum.
The two of them still kept a certain distance, but they still gave people a rather close feeling.
Hermione had even rarely put down the thick book in her hand, constantly saying something to Krum.
But from how Hermione and Krum occasionally waved their arms while talking, it could be seen that their conversation wasn't going very smoothly.
After all, this guy Krum's English was terrible, so communication needed body language to help.
This situation had already lasted for several days.
At first, it was Krum who made the move.
He seemed to have developed some inexplicable feelings toward Hermione and began occasionally striking up conversation with her.
And Hermione, who had recently been worrying about the expansion of the "House-elf and Dragon Rights Promotion Association," after meeting someone like Krum, who had fame and influence, and would be very helpful to the Association's development, naturally treated Krum as a very necessary recruit.
So now she basically lectured Krum every day about house-elf and dragon rights.
In order to make Krum understand, she even taught him English and began self-studying Bulgarian.
For this kind of crazy behavior from Hermione just to expand her Association, Link really didn't know how to evaluate it.
But it was undeniable that, after seeing this scene, Link's mood became rather sour, and along with it, his last bit of pity for the Durmstrang students completely vanished.
He took a deep breath, then carried a book to the seat farthest away from Hermione and Krum.
This didn't matter much, but Link still kept glancing up at Hermione from time to time.
Then Link made up his mind.
He definitely couldn't let Hermione be together with Krum.
Of course, Ron also couldn't be together with Hermione.
That was certain.
To be honest, Link felt he was very shameless.
Clearly he thought Hermione's personality wasn't very good, and she wasn't a good match for him.
Yet he still refused to let go and let her have feelings with someone else.
Link didn't plan to find any noble-sounding excuses to persuade himself. He simply blamed it all on his own possessiveness toward beautiful things.
This was just an instinct of male creatures.
After all, Hermione was very beautiful, and for Link, as a transmigrator, Hermione also had another important meaning, she was an obsession.
In short, the matter was decided.
Link made his final decision, and only then began focusing on reading.
Unfortunately, Heaven seemed to be a bit displeased with the shameless decision Link had just made.
So, not long after Link had calmed down, a familiar fragrance drifted over from nearby.
Link twisted his body to the other side on purpose, pretending not to notice Fleur who had suddenly arrived.
Seeing this, Fleur wasn't annoyed. She simply propped her chin up with both hands, watching Link read.
After a long while, Fleur, while playing with her hair, finally said to Link, "You are the only heir of the Flamel family. Even if the owl exams turn out a complete mess, you can still become someone above others. Do you really need to study this hard?"
Knowing that Fleur wanted to persuade him to leave the library and chat somewhere else, Link curled his lip disdainfully and said, "What do you know? Precisely because I am the heir of the Flamel family, I must work even harder! Otherwise, how can I become a qualified heir, a qualified head of house in the future? How can I continue the Flamel family?"
Seeing Fleur look confused at these words, Link continued, "Not just me, but all children of true big families are like this. The richer the family, the more hardworking the children."
"Otherwise, that family will decline. That is the rule of our world! If you don't believe it, look at Draco Malfoy. No matter how stupid and vile that guy is, his grades at Hogwarts are still pretty good!"
After saying this, Link ignored Fleur and turned his head toward an owl that had suddenly flown into the library and was being chased by Madam Pince, the librarian.
This was the Flamel family's owl, big and extremely strong. Even being hunted, it still successfully delivered the letter to Link and eventually escaped, completely ignoring Madam Pince.
The same went for Link, who also completely ignored Madam Pince.
He didn't have the slightest intention of explaining or apologizing, just made a "hurry along" gesture at her, then opened the letter under her furious yet restrained gaze.
The letter was from Krell.
In it, he said that he had already followed Link's orders, gathering men and moving toward Hogwarts.
These fierce magical beast hunters would all be assembled by the time of the third task at the latest, waiting near Hogwarts for Link's possible orders until the end of this term.
This was the advantage of growing up.
If it were a few years ago, Link definitely wouldn't have been able to mobilize such great power, since labor in the wizarding world was very expensive, and hiring so many hunters was even more costly.
But now, Link had already proven, by killing that Hungarian Horntail dragon, that he had grown up and possessed great ability.
So, with just two letters explaining that he needed some external force, a large group of fierce hunters who fed off the Flamel family's huge magical creature business were immediately summoned here, quietly waiting for his orders.
In this way, even if the situation worsened, he still had enough power to deal with it.
Link nodded in satisfaction, then tucked the letter into his robe.
Fleur seemed to have been dazed by Link's earlier words, still in a nearly trance-like state.
This state was probably faked, after all, Fleur was a woman with self-awareness and dignity, and she wouldn't and didn't dare peek at Link's letter.
That was exactly why Link dared to open the letter right in front of her.
Of course, if Fleur really was dazed, that was even better.
Because Link didn't plan to continue staying here, suffering the double torment of Fleur and Krum. After quickly organizing his books, he quietly slipped out of the library.
