Chapter 138 – Interview
Durmstrang was in shambles. Not because the castle suffered some superficial damage but because they lost eight staff members in under an hour, including the previous headmaster and his killer. For the following week, students were ordered to either stay home or within their rooms but not to interfere with the teachers. When the mood finally calmed down, and all the people, allies of the previous regime, were chased away or arrested, life seemed to finally have a chance to return to a kind of normalcy.
The most significant change may have happened to Dimitris, who still had trouble adjusting to it. Those who previously bullied him turned eerily kind, so much so it creeped him out. Then, those who had never interacted with him before, but seeing how he stood up to the twins and saved his own bullies changed a lot of people's perspectives.
"If you need something else..."
"No, no, Sebastian, it is all good, thanks!" Dimitris answered, sitting in the library, being served snacks by one of the guys who were under Conrad's imperius curse.
"No trouble. Are you still trying to figure out where they escaped? This time, we will go with you and make sure they get what they deserve!"
"A-ah... yeah, yes." He answered, looking nervous, but it wasn't strange considering all that happened. "But I don't think I will find them, haaah... Are you guys okay? You don't need to humiliate yourselves. I just did what was... right."
"It is not about that. Look, we screwed up, okay? Our families were paid well to screw with you, and we didn't even bother to learn why. It was our fault. After what happened, most of our eyes were finally opened! What I am doing now is not even enough to ask for forgiveness... so at least let me do this much."
"I heard Mika has been sent to prison..." Dimitris whispered, wanting to change the topic because he felt himself blushing. He didn't even feel a shred of sadness about Mika, as he was the worst of them all and a staunch supporter of Andrei and Karkaroff.
"Well, yes. He may also be able to rethink his choices while locked away. Anyway, if you find anything, just call us, okay?"
"Sure... and Sebastian?"
"Yes?"
