Harry returns from Hogwarts Legacy

Chapter 228 I, Tom Riddle, a great man, would be with a villain like you...

After Ms. Grindelwald said this, the whole room fell into silence.

Everyone was trying hard to digest everything she said.

The first to break the silence was Sirius.

"What?"

He asked in confusion: "Who are you? Merlin? God? Don't be ridiculous, how can there be a God in this world..."

"Whether you want to admit it or not, this is the truth."

Ms. Grindelwald smiled faintly, ignored the wands pointed at her by the people present, and sat down in the guest seat.

"Is this how you treat your guests?" she said, "or have you forgotten how to be a graceful wizard and chosen to be a poorly mannered ape instead?"

"I don't think of you as a guest." Cassandra said sarcastically, standing behind Harry.

Ms. Grindelwald looked up at Cassandra, as if recalling for a moment, and said in a daze: "Oh... it's you, Malfoy. It seems that in this timeline, you are still alive and well, right?"

"Don't bother." Cassandra said coldly. It was obvious that she didn't like this uninvited guest.

"You really shouldn't welcome me, Miss Malfoy." Ms. Grindelwald raised her chin slightly. "As the leader of the Malfoy family who attempted to defy my will, let me think... they disappeared ninety years ago. What a pity... We are classmates, but you are unwilling to follow me. Is it because of your self-esteem? I am very curious."

Cassandra clenched her hands but said nothing.

"So this is why you disguised yourself as the Grim Reaper and chased us in our dreams?" Harry asked from the side.

"No." Ms. Grindelwald held up a finger. "I am not pretending to be the God of Death, and I am not the God of Death... I don't have the leisure to play these strange tricks. For me, to be able to conquer the whole of Europe, and even the whole world, this is what I want to do most."

"But what's more ironic is that it seems that the hero of the British Isles, Tom Riddle, is a pitiful creature that everyone hates in this timeline..."

When Ms. Grindelwald said this, the expression on her face was indescribable, as if she had never expected things to develop in this way.

Not to mention Ms. Grindelwald, even Dumbledore found it a bit... hard to accept when he suddenly heard that Tom Riddle would become a hero who resisted the tyrant.

"I can't even imagine..." James said with emotion, "If, I mean if, our Voldemort met Tom Riddle, what would they say?"

He seemed to be completely oblivious to the pressure brought by Ms. Grindelwald, and the first thing he thought of was to tease Voldemort.

But it was not surprising. After all, they had three strongest fighters. Dumbledore was distracted by Anna's words, and his daughter-in-law Vivi could not cause any harm to him... As for Harry, it seemed that Harry was using the magic developed by the other party to deal with her.

So in this case, it doesn't matter whether there is tension or not. What matters is that Ms. Grindelwald doesn't seem to want to have any conflict with them.

"Say what?" Sirius asked promptly.

As James' good brother, Sirius's supporting role is always invisible.

"I, Tom Riddle, a great hero, am actually on par with a villain like you..."

At this point, James couldn't hold it back any longer.

Harry didn't know what to say.

No, Dad, these two sides are confronting each other...

Could you please stop being so off-line?
"I'm looking forward to it, too." Ms. Grindelwald smiled.

She looked up at Dumbledore and said to them, "It seems that... no matter which timeline it is, Albus is destined not to stand on the same front with Tom Riddle."

"Why?" Harry suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Yeah, why?"

Ms. Grindelwald repeated, seemingly unwilling to delve deeper into the topic.

She simply said, "Tom Riddle is the only force in the British Isles that is still resisting me. I have to admit that he does give me a headache, and I don't have the leisure time to deal with him, so I can only trouble Albus and little Anna to encircle and suppress him... But what I still don't understand is why they are so resistant to joining my empire..."

"Maybe they want freedom," Harry said, raising an eyebrow.

"Hmph." Ms. Grindelwald just snorted coldly but didn't continue speaking.

She didn't want to refute what Harry said. In her opinion, the so-called freedom was nothing but the pursuit of power.

Harry didn't continue talking, but walked to Vivi's side.

"How is it?" he asked in a low voice.

"Use the method I taught you before." Weiwei whispered in his ear: "It was on Christmas Day... um, Christmas Day in fifth grade, when I taught you how to tie me up..."

As she spoke, Vivi's ears turned red.

This matter... is indeed a bit embarrassing to talk about.

Harry picked up his wand and touched the ropes that bound Vivi.

Of course he remembered what Vivi taught him that night. In fact, he would never forget it in his life.

"What a touching love..."

Ms. Grindelwald sat on the chair with her legs crossed, looking at Harry and Vivi with a teasing look and speaking in a sarcastic tone.

"Po Te, how about we make a deal?" she said again.

"What deal?" Harry looked at Ms. Grindelwald cautiously.

"You..." Ms. Grindelwald raised the corners of her lips, "hand over your girlfriend to me, and I will use the power of magic to protect Sweeting and Malfoy, and even your parents... How about it? As long as you hand over another me."

“Good advice.”

Harry nodded, but he was grinning.

"But I refuse."

Lady Grindelwald raised an eyebrow and looked at Harry.

"I know you very well, Ms. Grindelwald." Harry seemed to be reminiscing. "Remember, in the second semester of our fifth year, we went together to wipe out the Fire Ash Snake Gang. At that time, you said the same thing to the leader of the Fire Ash Snake Gang. Of course... he did it, and you..."

"And I broke my promise, didn't I." Lady Grindelwald narrowed her eyes.

"Perhaps that's your fault, ma'am." Harry shrugged.

Weiwei is a qualified hunter, but she has an obvious flaw, which is that she seems to like playing with her prey.

This kind of thing has happened more than once. It has happened in the Fire Ash Snake Gang's camp and the poachers' lair.

But at that time, Harry just thought that Vivi was depressed and didn't say much.

He is not Vivi's mother who would warn her not to play with food.

Lady Grindelwald's expression darkened.

"Did you see that?" Ms. Grindelwald looked at Vivi and said sarcastically in standard German-accented English, "This is how Potter sees you... So, this is how you look in his eyes... How pathetic."

"Is it sad?" Weiwei smiled faintly: "I don't think so."

"This doesn't mean that I don't love her, Ms. Grindelwald." Harry raised his wand again, "No matter what kind of person Vivi is, I will always carry out my love for her, so... I will protect her until we decide the winner!"

Vivi was stunned.

She didn't expect that at this critical moment, Harry would be able to confess his feelings to her... and the other her.

Pabli and Cassandra were also stunned. The former opened his mouth with his chin almost touching his chest; the latter pouted in disgust, and the sour smell almost overflowed the entire alchemy room.

"Good job, son!" James raised his hands high and applauded his eldest son like a gorilla.

"I didn't bring shame to your father!" he said again.

"That's right, very energetic!" Sirius also echoed.

The more James looked at his son, the more satisfied he felt. Whether in terms of magical attainments or as a human being, he thought his son was simply amazing.

No wonder there are three girls who are crazy about him, crazy about him, and bang their heads against the wall for him...

"I understand."

There was a barely perceptible cunning glint in Ms. Grindelwald's eyes.

It was at this moment that Mr. Flamel finally pressed the switch on the wall.

The room suddenly became as bright as day, and bright red symbols appeared on the ceiling and the ground where Ms. Grindelwald was standing.

The talisman looked extremely mysterious, as if it contained endless magical energy.

Emerald green vines gradually climbed up the chair, and soon, they tied up Ms. Grindelwald.

Lady Grindelwald raised her head and looked at the ground again.

"That is not the way to treat an old friend, Monsieur Flamel."

"I have to do this, and I hope you can forgive me." Mr. Flamel said this without showing any apology.

"Do you think you can trap me with just this magic circle?" Ms. Grindelwald said calmly.

"Although I can't trap you, at least I have limited your magical abilities." Mr. Flamel said with a smile.

Lady Grindelwald gave Mr. Flamel a long look, then looked back at Harry.

Her figure gradually faded and dissipated into the air like mist.

"I hope that you will still be so persistent when we meet next time... Of course, Albus, my promise is always valid. If you can turn from evil to good, I will reunite you with little Anna."

Harry finally breathed a sigh of relief after Ms. Grindelwald disappeared from the spot.

It was simply because the oppressive feeling that guy gave him was too strong.

There had never been a day when Harry wanted to become stronger as badly as he did today.

This has nothing to do with myself, but I hope to protect Weiwei.

If one day in the future, Ms. Grindelwald comes to his door again, Harry does not want to be as powerless as he is today, and can only hope that the other party will retreat on their own initiative.

"If you have such a magic circle, why didn't you take it out earlier?" Sirius asked, panting. He was indeed scared just now.

He even glanced at Weiwei with lingering fear, thinking that this daughter-in-law was not as oppressive as that one...

"Because she didn't sit on it just now." Mr. Flamel also had a cold sweat on his face, and he was still holding his old heart.

Sirius:……

What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless.

"Thank you, Harry."

Vivi sighed softly beside Harry.

Harry raised his head, glanced at Vivi, and reached out to hold her soft little hand.

“That’s what I have to do,” he said, laughing. “Because I’m a man.”

Just at this time, Lily came over with the house-elves, carrying plates and bowls.

"What happened just now?" Lily asked curiously, "Why couldn't I leave the kitchen just now? Jesus, I thought something was wrong. Fortunately, I was able to get out..."

"Nothing." Weiwei said quickly. She didn't want her mother-in-law to hear the horrible rumors about another herself.

James was eager to share and wanted to tell what had just happened.

But he was not a man with low emotional intelligence. Seeing that his daughter-in-law was obviously unwilling, he did not say anything more.

"Try it, Sirius." Lily placed the plate in front of Sirius: "It's the ones you used to like... Sorry, we are in such a rush that we can't prepare too much."

"I couldn't ask for more," Sirius said happily, taking the plate.

The dinner was very warm. Except for Dumbledore who looked like he had something on his mind, and Snape who had a sour face, everyone was talking enthusiastically, even Cassandra.

Lily obviously took into consideration the feelings of this cold-faced little girl (perhaps an aunt), and often chatted with her so as not to ignore her.

Not to mention, Lily is a sweet talker, and after this meal together, Cassandra has begun to like her.

"Can you please not leave?"

After dinner, the first person to speak was Cassandra, and no one would have thought that she would be the first person to try to keep him.

"We still have a destiny to fulfill." Lily smiled faintly and reached out to push Cassandra's hair back. "Perhaps we will meet again in the future, Cassandra."

"Hmm..." Cassandra's eyes were red, and she looked at Lily reluctantly.

"So……"

Sirius' voice was trembling as he placed the Desire Gem on the table.

"Are you ready?" he asked.

The two nodded and held each other's hands.

Harry closed his eyes, picked up the gem and threw it hard to the ground.

At this moment, Lily and James' figures slowly disappeared from the spot.

Sirius seemed to have used up all his strength and sat down on the ground with a plop.

……

1981 years.

"Jingle Bell……"

The phone rang, waking up the still sleeping Potter couple.

"Hey?"

James picked up the phone.

It was Sirius calling.

"Yeah," James responded, "Yeah... Yeah, I know, by the way, Padfoot."

He tilted his head and Lily nodded at him.

"I just had a dream..." he said.
