Harry returns from Hogwarts Legacy

Chapter 155 Grindelwald's PUA (14000rd update, monthly tickets for additional updates)
Vivi didn't expect Dumbledore to ask such a question.

"I don't understand you, Professor Dumbledore," she said.

"You should understand, Senior Grindelwald." Professor Dumbledore said, "I know your feelings for Harry, otherwise you wouldn't have traveled across time to a hundred years later... But, I heard from Newt that it seems that you want to wait until Miss Malfoy comes back before you can compete with her fairly?"

"That's exactly what I planned." Vivi said with a smile.

Dumbledore didn't quite understand Vivi's idea. He asked in confusion, "Why? As far as I know, Miss Malfoy is Harry's best friend since the first grade. Do you really have the confidence to defeat her?"

"I will convince Cassandra, Professor." Although Vivi's expression was humble, the arrogance in her eyes could not be concealed.

"I still think that you shouldn't take it lightly." A trace of worry flashed across Dumbledore's eyes. "If I were you, I would confirm the relationship with Harry first, and then rescue Cassandra..."

Having said that, Dumbledore is a staunch supporter of Harvey.

Apart from Mr. Flamel the fun-loving one and the portrait professors who couldn't come out from underground, Dumbledore was the only one left in Harvey's party.

The reason was not difficult to guess. After several conversations and indirect inquiries, Dumbledore already had a preliminary portrait of Vivi.

This is a person with greater ambitions than Gellert, or rather... Gellert is just a younger version of her.

Dumbledore is already old, and the new generation has been cut off by Voldemort. By the time Vivi completes her plan, I'm afraid no one will be able to stop her.

But he has always believed in love and believed that love can change everything.

That's why Dumbledore firmly supports Vivi and Harry to be together. In this way, there will be someone to restrain her ambition.

What's more, the fact that Vivi was able to travel through hundreds of years to find Harry shows that she has love in her heart.

People who have love in their hearts will not become like Voldemort and Gellert.

"Don't worry, professor." Weiwei said confidently: "If I can beat Cassandra once, I can beat her a second time. The final winner will be me."

Seeing Vivi like this, Dumbledore couldn't persuade her anymore.

"I hope so." He sighed, and at the same time planned to talk to Gellert about this topic...

However, he suddenly remembered that Gellert and Harry had always been at odds.

From what he understood about Gellert, this guy was definitely determined to break up Harvey's party.

The main character is a flexible person. Whoever breaks up Harry and Vivi will be his good friend.

No, it seems that Gail is not trustworthy either. We should find a suitable person to discuss this matter together.

Or... Newt?
Newt is no good either, and his aunt Pabbie... who knows what her situation is?
Dumbledore knew Newt's character, and he was a man who valued feelings and affection. He would definitely unwaveringly support Pappy's promotion.

When Cassandra returns, all the pure-blood families that are close to the Malfoy family will automatically join the Hakka Party.

Thinking of this, Dumbledore felt a slight headache.

I never thought that a small Hogwarts could accommodate three big factions at the same time?!

Early the next morning, Harry received a letter from the Malfoy family.

The gist of the letter was that the school board would meet tomorrow, Saturday morning, to formally announce the resolution to add a new director.

After getting the letter, Harry strolled all the way to Newt's tent.

"Professor Scamander," Harry greeted.

Newt turned around and saw that it was Harry, so he smiled and said, "It's you, Harry, didn't we say that you can just call me Newt..."

"This is at school. You should be called Professor." Harry took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to Newt. "This is a letter from the Malfoy family. The school board meeting will be held tomorrow. Where is Pappy? Is he still at Flamel's house?"

"My aunt is walking in the Forbidden Forest, and Mr. Flamel is over there."

Newt said, pointing Harry in a direction.

Harry looked in the direction Newt pointed, thinking, isn't this the direction I came from? I don't see any houses there either.

However, as soon as he turned his head, he saw a two-story small villa standing on the side of the road.

"This is Mr. Flamel's new home, protected by the Fidelius Charm." Newt said with a smile, "I never expected that he had found a way for Muggles to generate electricity. Now their building can actually be self-sufficient in electricity."

"He's a legendary alchemist after all, so it's normal for him to know more." Harry quickly accepted the fact that Mr. Flamel had so many talents. "Why did they think of moving to the edge of the school?"

"Mr. Flamel said that he is old and should spend more time with children so that he can feel more vitality." Newt said something he couldn't understand. "Also, he plans to keep an eye on my aunt's health and try to find a way to make her... well, healthy again."

"Mr. Flamel is such a nice guy," Harry exclaimed.

"Who says it's not true?" Newt also sighed: "Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer good people like Mr. Flamel."

Harry chatted with Newt for a few more words, then said goodbye to him and planned to go into the Forbidden Forest to see what Pabli was doing.

As Harry walked further and further away, Gellert suddenly appeared behind Newt.

"We need to talk, Scamander," Gellert said seriously.

Newt turned around and said quickly, "We have nothing to discuss, Grindelwald."

The string in his heart has been tense all the time. Ever since he learned that Gellert was going to be his assistant, he set a rule for himself.

Don't believe a word Grindelwald says.

Who would have thought that Grindelwald, instead of being discouraged, took a step forward.

"You might as well listen to what I have to say before you make your decision, Scamander."

Newt decided not to listen to his nonsense, and neither answered nor stopped. He just walked into the tent, intending to check on the physical condition of the Zouwu in the tent.

This is a good companion I got in Paris more than 60 years ago.

Seeing Newt walk into the tent, Gellert followed him in.

"Please put it this way, Scamander," Gellert said, "I am willing to cooperate with you to separate my sister from Scarhead..."

"Haha." Newt gave him an awkward but polite smile in return.

you?
Break up your sister?
Newt felt that there wasn't a single true word in that sentence.

"You should believe me, Scamander, I don't think it's a good choice for my sister to be with Scarhead," Gellert said in a persuasive manner: "That Scarhead... is lazy and arrogant. I really don't know what my sister likes about him... How about we work together? I think Miss Sweeting is a good match for Scarhead - although her current situation is not very optimistic." Newt said nothing and began to search for a cat toy in the cabinet.

Zouwu is a magical animal native to China. It looks like a giant cat and is as big as an elephant.

There are five colors on Zouwu's body, and it has a long feathery tail that is even longer than a python.

This creature runs extremely fast and can travel thousands of miles a day.

As for the cat toy, it is actually a bird toy made by Newt... This is Zou Wu's favorite toy. When he sees this thing, he is as happy as an ordinary cat seeing a cat toy.

"I know you don't believe me, but you see the situation now, Scamander."

Gellert was ignored but was not discouraged. He continued to persuade Newt: "A woman of my sister's rank is not someone Miss Sweeting can handle. The only one who can compete with her is Miss Malfoy, whose life or death is uncertain... But I have also heard my sister describe Miss Malfoy's character. If she were a little more normal, my sister would never have any chance."

"She doesn't know where she is now, so I think we can't let my sister get there first. We should send someone to fight her. So I think Miss Sweeting would be a good choice. After all, she also has deep feelings for that scar-headed Veela, right?"

Newt paused for a moment.

Seeing that there was hope, Gellert continued to warm up: "Well, Scamander, don't you want to fight for your aunt's happiness? Think about it, my sister is not terrible, but do you really want to see your aunt regret it for the rest of her life because of your momentary hesitation?"

Newt paused in his search for the cat toy.

He admitted that what Gellert said made sense.

Although he didn't want to believe what Gellert said, he couldn't ignore his aunt's happiness.

You know, the reason why my aunt became like this is because she likes Harry.

As a nephew, he must think what his aunt thinks and worry about what his aunt worries about.

With this in mind, Newt asked, "Why should I work with you?"

Gellert was delighted to see Newt take the bait.

Okay, I’m just afraid you won’t speak!
Thinking of this, Gellert decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Because we want the same thing, Scamander." Gellert snorted and said, "What I want is for my sister to leave that hateful Scarhead - and what you want is for Miss Sweeting to be with Scarhead, which also means that my sister must leave Scarhead before you can achieve your wish."

“I don’t deny it,” Newt said.

"So we have common interests, Scamander." Gellert said seriously: "Look, the core we are looking for is actually the same... So what are you waiting for?"

It should be said that Gellert is indeed worthy of being a man who once was a big shot, and he speaks in a very coherent way.

At least Newt had been fooled by him and was seriously weighing what Gellert had just said, considering whether to recruit him into the Harper Party.

He was brainstorming in his head, thinking in his heart... Miss Grindelwald now had a huge advantage, and she had already seized the opportunity to 'replenish magic', so it was a situation where she didn't know how to lose.

Under such circumstances, there was no need for her to send her brother to act undercover.

Besides, she is a proud person and it is impossible for her to do such a shameful thing.

Then... perhaps it can be understood as two possibilities.

The first is that Gellert goes alone.

The second possibility is that Gellert really wants to separate his sister and Harry.

"I've decided to observe you first, Grindelwald." Newt didn't completely believe Gellert. He just said ambiguously: "If you pass our assessment, I will formally absorb you into our core... But now you can only be in the observation period."

"I understand." Gellert smiled meaningfully. "Of course I can understand your suspicion, Scamander. After all, she is my biological sister. No one would think that I would want to separate the two of them."

Newt struggled for a long time and finally gave an evaluation.

"Then you are really...not a human being." He said with a complicated expression.

Gellert smiled.

"If I am really a good brother who respects my sister's choice, can you still fulfill your wish and make your aunt happy?"

As soon as these words came out, Newt fell silent.

He admitted that Gellert was right.

But Newt doesn't have any moral baggage. After all, Harry and Miss Grindelwald are not boyfriend and girlfriend yet, so theoretically it can't be considered a "breakup."

Everyone is just competing fairly. Although we start from different starting lines, we are still competing.

Newt felt that he had to fight for his aunt's happiness no matter what.

In that case, it’s no big deal to temporarily cooperate with this evil Grindelwald.

"I remember Miss Grindelwald said that we should wait until Miss Malfoy comes back before we can have a fair competition." Newt suddenly said, "Where is your Eye of Prophecy? Please help me see when Miss Malfoy will come back?"

"I seemed to have told you to wait until next Christmas. Why are you in such a hurry?" Gellert said leisurely.

“You didn’t tell me.” Newt said firmly.

Gellert said, "Well, that's what they said in Nurmengard and Al. Get nervous, Mr. Scamander, and try to let Scarhead, that stupid wooden man, know your aunt's feelings within this year..."

"Stupid wooden man?" Newt asked puzzledly, "Why do you say that about him?"

Gellert sneered and said, "My God, if you knew the story between Cassandra Malfoy and that idiot Scarhead, you would think he is a loser just like me!"

After complaining, Gellert told Newt the story he had heard from his sister, adding some embellishments.

Of course, he also mixed some personal grudges into it. In short, it is a spiced up version of the "Miss Malfoy wants me to confess my love" story of a teenage boy.

After listening to Gellert's detailed account of the grievances and hatreds from a hundred years ago, Newt's expression became complicated.

This kind of wood... can really...
