Harry returns from Hogwarts Legacy

Extra: First-year summer vacation with Cassandra (Part 1)

With the arrival of summer vacation, the Hogwarts Great Hall is not as noisy as before.

The students left one after another, and only a small number of students remained in the school, waiting for the next bus to arrive.

Little Harry didn't leave, he didn't know where to go.

He had just gone to the principal's office, Phineas Black, to apply to the principal for permission to stay in school during the holidays.

"Harry?"

Gareth's voice rang in little Harry's ears.

Little Harry looked up and when he saw that it was his good friend, he forced a smile at him.

After spending a year in this lonely era, Harry always felt that he didn't quite belong here.

But no matter how bad it is, it won't be worse than Number 4, Privet Drive, Little Whinging, a hundred years later, right?
But he is now facing an embarrassing problem. During the summer vacation, everyone has to go back to their respective homes, and Hogwarts generally does not allow students to stay on campus during the holidays.

This means that he has nowhere to go.

However, Principal Phineas Black said that if he wanted to stay in the school, it was okay, but he had to stay with him.

"Gareth." Little Harry hugged his legs and gave Gareth a forced smile.

"What are your plans for the holidays?" Gareth sat next to him and handed him a candy. "Do you really want to stay in school? With Principal Black? Oh my God... How about you come home with me, how about that?"

Little Harry hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head.

He has received too much kindness from the Weasley family since he entered school.

But as cautious as he is, he really doesn't want to go any further, for fear of being disliked by others.

"Don't worry, Gareth." Little Harry forced a happy smile and said, "In fact, Principal Black is also very..."

He thought for a long time but still couldn't come up with a suitable adjective.

"Oh my God, I don't want you to stay with that annoying guy." Gareth said quickly: "Honestly, buddy, you should come home with me, my parents want to meet you..."

Before they could finish their words, a sweet but arrogant voice sounded behind them.

"Weasley, if I heard you correctly, you want my little follower to go home with you, right?"

They both turned their heads and saw a girl's face that was extremely arrogant.

The girl's eyes were full of pride, and the teardrop mole under the corner of her eye added a touch of coolness to her temperament.

It was Cassandra Malfoy.

"Malfoy!" Gareth couldn't sit still anymore and stood up. "I won't allow you to bully Harry!"

Girls always grow taller than boys. Even when Gareth stood up, he was still a head shorter than Cassandra.

It seems that Gareth is inferior to Cassandra in terms of momentum.

"Bullying?" Cassandra curled her lips and looked down at Gareth condescendingly: "If you think so... Well, you should leave here. I have something to discuss with my little follower."

Seeing that Gareth wanted to say something else, Harry tugged at the corner of Gareth's clothes.

"Gareth..."

Gareth turned around.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, see you later." Harry whispered.

He didn't want to implicate Gareth because he had also heard about the status of the Malfoy family in the wizarding world.

"Are you really okay?" Gareth asked worriedly.

"It's okay, don't worry." Harry said.

Gareth sighed. Now that Harry had said that, there was no reason for him to stay.

So, he could only leave the hall and stand far away from the door to prevent Cassandra from abusing Harry. "Well, now there are only two of us, Miss Malfoy." Harry whispered, not confident enough, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."

He was really afraid of offending the eldest daughter of the Malfoy family. If he was expelled from school in this era, the fate that awaited him would be even more miserable than that of the Dursleys - he wouldn't even have the chance to live in a compartment under the stairs.

"Oh, you're smart." Cassandra crossed her arms over her chest and looked down at Harry. "You're not allowed to go anywhere during the holidays - do you understand? You have to come back to Malfoy Manor with me. You are not allowed to go with Weasley or stay in school!"

"W-why?" Harry felt a little suffocated.

Malfoy is so annoying, he thought to himself. Looking at her, she really looks like a poisonous snake seeing its prey.

"why?"

The girl smiled and said, "Ah... no reason. You are my follower, so you should follow me home. Do you expect the scholarship for next semester to cover your expenses for the whole school year?"

"You mean?" Harry whispered.

"Like I said before at Christmas, my father and brother are very busy and don't have time." Cassandra snorted, "And I need to practice spells... understand?"

"Do you want me to be your target?" Little Harry asked pitifully, with his head down.

From an angle he couldn't see, a trace of heartache flashed across the girl's eyes.

"Then why don't I buy some dummies?" The girl raised her chin and said arrogantly, "I need an opponent who can fight against me, at least half of my strength. I hope you can meet my requirements. If you can't meet my standards, I will fire you and let you come back to accompany Principal Black! Do you hear me?"

"In addition, your salary is thirty gold galleons per holiday." The girl's tone began to become impatient. "I'll give you a minute to think about it."

Harry did a quick calculation in his head.

Thirty Galleons...

This was a huge sum of money for him... Thirty gold galleons meant he could buy some spell books, a good cauldron, or some new clothes...

"I, I understand, Miss Malfoy." Harry agreed quickly. He didn't want to miss this opportunity to make money.

It would be fine even if Miss Malfoy used her as a target, he thought.

"Humph."

Cassandra smiled with satisfaction.

"You're smart, Pot," Cassandra said briskly. "Then I'll ask Kiki to help you pack your luggage, and the Malfoy family's carriage will wait for you at the school gate."

"Thank you, Miss Malfoy," said Harry quickly.

He was still curious about who Qiqi was.

The girl walked away with brisk steps, her heels tapping on the floor of the auditorium, making crisp sounds.

……

I read some comments before, and someone said that I deliberately portrayed Harry as a wooden man, a Japanese-style asshole male protagonist, and that it was impossible to tell Cassandra's feelings for him.

No, man...

Have you really read the novel? Do you understand what kind of person Harry is?
Bro, tell this to Ginny in the original novel and see if she ignores you and that's it.

In the original book, Harry is the savior of the wizarding world, with all kinds of halos and no worries about food and clothing, but he is still as wooden as Ginny...

Do you expect Harry, who has no relatives, no money, knows no one, and has to rely on others for support to survive, to understand the feelings of a proud and arrogant young lady?

Then Harry can't even be described as feeling good about himself, right?
Even the Harry in the original book, who had friends who were willing to die for him, a headmaster who tolerated him, Hagrid who loved him selflessly, a godfather who was willing to eat mice for him, and endless wealth, still could not get rid of his inferiority complex. What about the Harry who lived a hundred years ago?

I write fan fiction, not original work...Harry's character will evolve, but it will never be separated from Rowling's creation.

Anyone with a bit of logic would not think that Harry a hundred years ago could feel Miss Malfoy's feelings...

Okay, without further ado, please give me your monthly vote.

I will write a sequel when I am in a good mood——
