Harry returns from Hogwarts Legacy

Chapter 223: Resurrection of Pappy, James and Lily
"You're right."

Harry nodded seriously and glanced up at Pappy.

"I don't recommend you rush, Harry." Pappy floated to Harry's side, and his transparent arm passed through Harry's head. "Listen to me first - you should know that Mr. Flamel has found a chance for me to regain my body. I don't really need this gem right now."

"But wouldn't it be better if you could use this gem to regain your body?" Harry said puzzledly, "What if - I mean what if, Mr. Flamel's method doesn't work, maybe his method is an unproven dark magic learned from a book?"

"Hey, Potter boy!" Mr. Flamel raised his arm mechanically and shouted in dissatisfaction. "I'm still here!"

"I'm just giving you an example, Mr. Flamel." Harry turned back to Mr. Flamel, "It doesn't mean I really think so."

But Mr. Flamel gave an expression that said, "I don't believe you." He thought Harry did it on purpose.

She said that to his face on purpose!

"Listen to me, Harry." Pappy was still rubbing Harry's head with his transparent arm. The cold feeling gave Harry a headache. "Someone needs the help of this gem more than I do. Do you remember Annie? She is Sebastian's sister. She is suffering from the erosion of the black magic curse. With the help of this gem, perhaps we can use its power to solve Annie's curse and break the seal... What do you think, Harry?"

After hearing what Pappy said, Harry fell into deep thought.

What she said did make sense, and Mr. Flamel had actually found a way to help Pappy recover.

This gem is the icing on the cake for Pappy. With the help of this gem, he will be more confident. But even without this gem, he still has Mr. Flamel's method to fall back on.

Anne's situation is different. No one can lift her black magic curse, so she can only hope for this gem.

"I have a proposal."

When Harry was hesitating, Vivi said, "Maybe we don't need to use this gem in a hurry. We can wait until after the resurrection ceremony for Pappy and see how effective the ceremony is before making a decision. What do you think, Harry? If the ceremony is successfully completed, then we can use this gem on Annie; but if something goes wrong in the ceremony, this gem can still cover for Pappy... Anyway, Annie is now in a sealed state, so there is no rush to remove the curse on her, right?"

Vivi's words enlightened Harry. He nodded and said, "You make sense. Then... we will wait for Mr. Flamel to prepare the ritual. We will keep this gem as a backup. If the ritual fails, we can use it again."

"What about Annie?" Pappy floated in the air as if swimming on his back.

"As Vivi said, Annie is currently in a sealed state. As long as we don't break the seal, nothing will happen to her." Harry said to Pappy.

Pappy nodded, accepting Harry's suggestion.

"Then it seems that you will have to wait a few more days." Mr. Flamel said at this time: "If my estimate is correct, the potion will be successfully brewed in four days, and then we can start to revive Miss Sweeting - but we still need the blood of Miss Sweeting's enemies, I wonder if you..."

"Use mine." Weiwei glanced at Pappy and said, "In a sense, we are indeed enemies, so... it's okay to use my blood."

Mr. Flamel said nothing, but gave a mysterious smile to a few people.

As we all know, a love rival is also an enemy, and there is nothing wrong in saying that Vivi is Pabbi's enemy.

After hearing what Vivi said, Pabbie hid behind Harry guiltily, trying to avoid the sight of the queen (bushi).

"As for the servants' meat..." Mr. Flamel looked at Harry, "Perhaps you could do it for me? Newt is not in the UK these days. He has been invited to the United States by the Ministry of Magic again..."

"Use mine." Cassandra said. After noticing Harry's gaze, the corners of her mouth twitched down. "This is a decision, not a discussion with you, Pot—"

"Cassandra..."

Pabbie's eyes were wet - she didn't know why a ghost's eyes were wet, but she was very moved.

She never expected that Cassandra would come forward to help her.

"But why did you..." Harry didn't quite understand why Cassandra suddenly stood up.

Cassandra did not answer his question and turned her eyes away.

In fact, her motive is completely understandable. After all, Vivi has already stepped forward to help Pabbie, and as another... well, it's not right for her, Cassandra, to just sit there and do nothing, right?
That would seem a bit too inhumane.

"Perfect!" Mr. Flamel clapped his hands happily. "Then it's settled... In addition, I have found old Sweeting's bones and stored them in my alchemy room. We will use them in a few days."

"Thank you... thank you..."

Pabbie whimpered, blowing a biting cold wind and giving Vivi and Cassandra a hug.

"If I were you, I wouldn't be so sentimental." Cassandra said with disgust, "A-choo... Look, I'm almost catching a cold because of you."

"Sorry, sorry..." Pabbie apologized helplessly.

Now that the resurrection has been decided, the next step is to get ready and wait for Papi to resurrect.

Sirius and Lupin returned to the castle and continued their teaching careers.

And Sirius not only had to teach, but also had to take on other things, such as learning some things that he originally scoffed at.

"I would rather deal with sticky slugs with old Snotlout than learn these dirty things!" Sirius complained to Lupin viciously.

"But if you want to take this path, this is what you have to learn." Lupin sighed, "Think about it, how many people's expectations are on you, do you want to disappoint Harry?"

Sirius took a deep breath.

That’s right, his earnest expectations as a godson are indeed the driving force behind his progress.

"Okay." He rubbed his head and said, "Then I'll continue reading--"

These days are still a long way from the start of school, and it will take a few more days before school officially starts.

So Harry didn't have any classes after returning to school. When he had nothing to do, he would walk around the castle or go to Mr. Flamel's alchemy laboratory to check on the progress.

Finally, on the fourth day, Mr. Flamel's potion was officially ready.

It was not appropriate for too many people to come to the resurrection ceremony, so apart from one person who needed to donate flesh and one person who donated blood, Mr. Flamel only allowed Harry to be present to observe.

Of course, there was also a Lady of Death, who didn't seem to have anything else to do, so she sat nearby, intending to watch the entire resurrection ceremony of Papi.

Mr. Flamel set up a large cauldron in his alchemy room, and in the cauldron was the potion he had already prepared.

When they reached the alchemy room, Mr. Flamel reached out and waved his wand, and soon, an orange flame began to burn under the pot.

The liquid in the crucible seemed to heat up very quickly. Not only did the surface begin to boil, but sparks flew out as if it were on fire.

The steam grew thicker, enveloping Mr. Flamel's figure and blurring him out.

"Well, Miss Sweeting," said Mr. Flamel, pointing his wand at the cauldron, "you may come in—"

Pappy looked pitifully at Harry and then at Vivi.

"Go quickly." Harry said to her, "Don't worry, you are a ghost, this pot can't cook you..."

Pappy spat at Harry's words.

Then, she walked into the pot, looking back every few steps, with a small transparent head sticking out of the pot.

"Everyone go in," ordered Mr. Flamel.

Pabbie let out an "oh" and put his head into the potion.

Mr. Flamel raised his wand and intoned, "A father's bones, donated unintentionally, can give your daughter a new life!"

There was a sudden noise nearby, and a box opened with a bang, which scared Mr. Flamel.

A large bone club flew out and landed gently in the crucible.

The diamond-like liquid surface broke with a hissing sound and sparks, and the liquid turned into a turbid yellow.

"It is your turn, Miss Malfoy," Mr Flamel continued.

Cassandra walked forward, holding a dagger, and calmly cut a long strip of flesh from her arm. Blood gushed out immediately, but fortunately, Vivi used her magic wand to restore Cassandra's arm in time, as if she had never been cut.

Harry's heart skipped a beat and he admitted that he felt very sad.

However, Cassandra said nothing and threw the piece of meat into the pot.

"The flesh of a servant, voluntarily donated, can bring your master back to life!" Mr. Flamel continued to chant.

Suddenly, the potion turned emerald green, and there seemed to be silver liquid flowing around it.

You can tell at first glance that this is the purest Slytherin color scheme.

"Well, it's your turn next, Miss Grindelwald," Mr. Flamel said again.

Vivi stepped forward and took the dagger from Cassandra's hand.

"No, you can't volunteer." Mr. Flamel stopped Vivi and said to Harry: "Use the Imperius Curse to control her - quickly!"

"Imperio!"

Cassandra took the first step. Without any hesitation, she controlled Vivi to hold the dagger and slash at her wrist.

The bright red blood gushed out, flowing along the jade-white wrist and into the boiling pot.

The moment the potion in the pot came into contact with Vivi's blood, it crackled again.

Soon, the potion changed from emerald green and silver to violet.

At the same time, Cassandra also removed the Imperius Curse.

After regaining consciousness, Vivi used her magic wand to heal the wound on her wrist.

"It seems that the ceremony went smoothly?" she asked.

Mr. Flamel did not speak, but said to Vivi: "It should be - I'm going out first, Harry, are you sure you don't want to go out with me?"

"Huh?" Harry didn't respond.

He really didn't know why Mr. Flamel asked him to go out.

Mr. Flamel ignored him and trotted out on his own.

Alas, although I am old, I still look at things I shouldn’t look at. I will get stye…

Outside, Sirius and Lupin, who had been waiting for a long time, surrounded Mr. Flamel and asked, "How is it, Mr. Flamel? What's the situation?"

"It went smoothly." Mr. Lemay was like an obstetrician and gynecologist in a white coat, all he needed to say was that both mother and child were safe.

In the alchemy room, a white cloud gradually rose from the huge crucible.

The liquid in the pot gradually dried up, and finally, the pot cooled down.

After a while, the smoke dissipated.

Cassandra's eye twitched suddenly.

What blinded my eyes?!

"Harry!" Vivi reacted quickly. Without thinking, she cast an eye-damaging spell at Harry.

Harry:?!?!

He covered his eyes, not knowing what to do.

No, I haven’t seen anything yet!

Of course, at this time he also realized what the scene was like in the white fog.

Maybe I shouldn't watch it, he thought.

There was a rustling sound beside his ear, and just when Harry was getting a little impatient, his eye-damaging curse was finally removed by Vivi.

What comes into view is justice and fairness.

"Harry!"

Harry's final thought was that dribbling the ball into people was strictly prohibited in Quidditch matches!
By the time he regained consciousness, Sirius and Lupin had already arrived in the alchemy room.

"It seems that you have indeed recovered." Sirius looked at Pappy as if an old woman was looking at her daughter-in-law. "This is indeed something worth celebrating..."

"Okay, now that I have recovered my body--" Pappy's first thought was Annie, "Then can you use the gem? To remove the curse on Annie?"

"Yes." Harry nodded. "I'll go ask Omnis where the secret room where Anne is hidden is..."

Just as Harry was about to leave, Mr. Flamel suddenly spoke.

"If the gem works, a healthy Annie will appear before you."

Harry thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

He pulled the gem from his wallet, looked at Lady Death and asked, "Madam, how should this gem be used?"

"Hold it and think of fulfilling your heart's desire," Lady Death replied.

Harry nodded, taking a deep breath and thinking about curing Anne of the curse.

At the same time, his fingers pressed towards the gem.

At this moment, the house suddenly fell into darkness, and even the magic light was swallowed up by the darkness.

"What happened?" Harry asked in amazement.

"I don't know," Sirius sniffed.

Just at this moment, there was a noise suddenly coming from outside.

"Who is it?" Sirius asked alertly.

Judging from the voice, there should be more than one person, and the voice obviously does not belong to Dumbledore.

He opened the door cautiously, but as soon as he opened it, he heard a curse.

"Stupefy!"

A clear female voice sounded, followed by a red spell.

Sirius quickly stepped back, avoiding the spell.

Just at this moment, Vivi also lit up her wand.

Following the light, Sirius saw the wand in his hand fall to the ground with a thud.

His voice was cautious, filled with a sense of loss and recovery, yet a sense of brokenness that he couldn't believe.

"Fork? Lily?"
