Harry returns from Hogwarts Legacy

Chapter 240 So I'm your backup option, right?

Remember your identity?
Harry was stunned by this. Why don’t I remember my identity?
Then he realized what Cassandra meant. He did not back off, but asked instead: "Remember what I am? Oh, I remember that last year, Mr. Septimus entrusted you to me."

Cassandra choked when she heard Harry's words.

This little guy is actually waiting for me here?
"Really?" Cassandra curled her lips. "But I don't remember you taking on the task of 'entrustment'. What do you think, Pot?"

"If you want me to, I will take responsibility." Harry was extremely thick-skinned now, and he was very skilled in teasing Cassandra: "So, how do you want me to take responsibility? Should I be a good brother like Ignatius, or a good son-in-law like Mr. Septimus wants?"

Such bold words were something Cassandra had never heard before, and she had never expected Harry to say them.

No, how dare he!

Her thin lips moved for a moment, and she trembled as she cursed, "Shameless!"

After saying that, she wanted to leave, but was stopped by Harry.

"What else are you going to do!" Cassandra asked angrily.

But Harry clearly noticed that Cassandra stopped.

Based on his understanding of Cassandra, if she was really angry, she would have cast a few spells on him and then walked away without looking back.

That is to say, Cassandra is not actually angry at the moment.

Harry felt relieved after receiving this information.

"You haven't told me yet how you want me to take responsibility, Cath." Harry called her nickname.

“Oh.” Cassandra showed a look of pity. “You have really become a bad person. You have been led astray by that abominable Grindelwald. Now you even dare to contradict me…”

Talk back at you?
I don't think so.

But Harry didn't say that after all, and continued with Cassandra's words: "After we leave Malfoy Manor, how about going to the Black Mansion with me?"

"So you are inviting me?" Cassandra smiled softly. "I think so, but... Pot, you also invited that woman Grindelwald, right?"

"Oh, that's not the case," Harry said honestly. "She wasn't invited. She's already left England for Austria and is said to have joined the Ministry of Magic."

Cassandra paused, her expression darkening.

"So I'm your backup option, right? Pot?"

"How come?" Harry responded quickly and explained quickly: "You have always been my first choice, Kate - whether it is before, now, or in the future."

"is it?"

Cassandra looked at Harry with a half-smile, but her tone was full of satisfaction.

"Of course it's true." Harry said sincerely, "Just tell me, when have I ever lied to you?"

Cassandra recalled that indeed, Harry had never lied to her.

In this regard, Harry is still very credible.

"I think so," Cassandra said proudly. "Well, if I have nothing else to do, I will go to the Black Mansion with you."

Harry nodded continuously, but he was complaining in his heart - what else could you do?

Since he had already promised Cassandra to go to Malfoy Manor together, Harry returned to the box, said hello to Ron and the others, and went to the Slytherin carriage.

Draco had been waiting outside. When he saw Harry, he happily stepped forward and said, "Come on, Harry. Cassandra has been waiting for you inside for a long time."

No, we've just been apart for less than five minutes, Harry complained in his heart, but still smiled.

He walked into the box where Cassandra was reading a book.

Hearing Harry walk into the box, Cassandra said without even looking up, "It seems you still remember the time we agreed on."

"Of course I remember." Harry did not choose to sit opposite Cassandra, but chose to sit next to her.

This was the first time the two of them were so close to each other during non-magic replenishment time - well, it wasn't the first time, the last time was in the Forbidden Forest.

With Cassandra's unique body scent lingering around his nose, Harry couldn't help but move closer to her face.

"looking at what?"

It was obvious that he had other intentions, and he took the opportunity of reading to get close to the girl next to him.

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone." Cassandra said this with a smile in her eyes. "It tells the story of a brave and fearless little wizard who tries to stop a murderous dark demon from obtaining the Philosopher's Stone."

Of course, this name was made up by her. She had heard about what happened to Harry in his first year, so she made up this name.

"This author's name is really bad." Harry raised his eyebrows, his face almost close to Cassandra's body, "But this story sounds good, can you tell me in detail?"

"Of course." Cassandra cleared her throat, picked up the book and began to talk. "After defeating the Dark Lord, this little thief named Harry Potter not only did not return the Philosopher's Stone to the poor old man, but also secretly took possession of the stone. This behavior is really shameful. I hope you can learn from it, Harry, and never be such a shameful villain."

"Yes." Harry nodded as if he had understood something. "It's shameful that this shameless man absorbed the Philosopher's Stone, but he still saved the life of an innocent girl. After all, she still needs to rely on the Philosopher's Stone to replenish her vitality, right?"

"Hmph." Cassandra just snorted to express her dissatisfaction.

Harry was about to say something when the train whistled for a long time.

"We've arrived." Cassandra stood up and handed the book to Harry. "Put it away carefully for me, Pott. Let's go say hello to Godfather Black first, and then go back to Malfoy Manor together."

So, you started calling me Godfather too, right?

Harry was delighted, but didn't point it out.

Of course he knew that Cassandra was thin-skinned, and if he pointed it out directly, it would make her feel resistant.

They got off the carriage, with Draco following not far behind. Draco was looking at his great-aunt and future great-uncle in front of him with an auntie's smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was embarrassed.

At the exit, not only Sirius came to pick up Harry, but the Malfoys were also standing next to Sirius, seemingly communicating something.

It seemed that the communication was quite pleasant, at least Sirius did not express any impatience.

With his personality, it is obviously unlikely that he would be nice to people who hold the pure-blood family concept - so there is only one truth, at least the Malfoys did not make Sirius dislike them by promoting the pure-blood theory.

Seeing Harry and Cassandra coming over, Sirius waved to them.

"Harry, Miss Malfoy, over here!"

Harry walked over and said to Sirius, "Oh, by the way, Godfather, Cassandra just told me that she wants me to go back to Malfoy Manor with her."

"Narcissa has already told me about this." Sirius said with a smile: "I will go with you. It just so happens that they have also invited me."

"That's great." Harry said with a grin.

He turned to the Malfoys again. "Hello, Mr. Malfoy, Mrs. Malfoy."

"Hello to you too, Mr. Potter."

Lucius didn't seem to be pretending at all, and the sincerity in that smile was more genuine than it had been to anyone else.

"Then let's go," he said.

They climbed into the carriage, and the Thestrals took flight.

However, when they arrived at the manor, Harry realized belatedly that there seemed to be one person missing from the car.

"What's wrong? Pot?"

Cassandra asked, noticing the change in Harry's expression.

Harry stretched out a finger and counted in the carriage, then turned to Cassandra and asked, "Cath, do you feel like we're missing someone?"

Few people?

After Harry said this, the Malfoys also realized that something was wrong.

"It's bad!" Narcissa suddenly sat up straight, "Little dragon! We left the little dragon at the station!"

At this moment at the station, Draco was looking at the direction where the carriage disappeared in the distant sky, feeling like crying but without tears.

"What's wrong with you, Malfoy?"

Ron came out of the station and noticed Draco, who looked devastated, and walked up to him curiously and asked.

"I……"

Draco turned his head slowly, wiped his tears and said: "My parents left me and went away with Harry and the others..."

Hearing this answer, Ron laughed out loud.

However, he held back. It was wrong to laugh at others at this time, especially... well, even Malfoy.

"If you have nowhere to go, you can come to my house for now." Ron invited. "Of course, my house may not be as good as yours, but it is also... well, like a home."

"That's all I can do." Draco said with some regret, "I hope they'll notice soon that I didn't get on the bus, but..."

Ron put one hand on the pergola, looked into the distance and said, "But they haven't come back to pick you up yet, which means they definitely haven't found you yet."

Draco took a deep breath...

He decided not to speak.

"How about this." Hermione suddenly took out something that looked like a brick and said to Draco, "I'll call Vivi first and ask him to tell Harry that you didn't get on the car... Well, let your parents not worry and pick you up at the Weasleys' house, how about that?"

"Thank you very much, Granger," Draco said sincerely.

From his perspective, Hermione pressed the brick-like thing for a long time, and after waiting for a moment, she began to talk to the brick as if she was crazy.

After a while, Hermione put down the brick and made an OK gesture to them.

"Okay." She said to them, "Vivi has called Harry, you can go to the Weasleys without worry, Malfoy."

However, Draco was clearly interested in the big brick.

"What is that?" Draco asked curiously.

"Oh, that one." Hermione nodded and said, "That's a mobile phone. As the name suggests, it can be used to make calls anytime and anywhere. As for the phone, you can think of it as a tool that allows people to talk in real time over long distances."

"Oh my Merlin!" Draco said in shock. "There is such a thing? How is it made?"

"This is Muggle technology." Hermione explained patiently: "You can understand it as Muggle magic - can you understand me saying this?"

"Technology?" Draco wrote down the word: "Well, although I don't know what it is, it still sounds very powerful..."

Influenced by Harry, Draco at this time no longer holds a contemptuous attitude towards Muggles as before, and he can quickly discover the advantages of things like technology.

If Dad could develop something like this in the wizarding world, would the Malfoy family...

Thinking of this, Draco felt it necessary to talk to his father about these things about "technology".

Of course, the most urgent task now is...

"Can you tell me about technology, Hermione?" Draco was like a sponge thirsting for the water called knowledge. "To be honest, I'm actually quite curious about science..."

Before he could finish his words, Mr. Weasley's voice rang out from behind.

"Hey, kids!" Mr. Weasley said with a smile, "I've made an appointment with Mr. Granger to have dinner at Granger's house tonight before going back - how about it, Ron?"

At this point, Mr. Weasley noticed Draco.

"A new face?" He looked Draco up and down. "You are the child of Lucius, right?"

"Hello, Mr. Weasley." Draco greeted very politely.

"Draco's parents forgot him at the station." Ron explained for Draco: "Hermione just called Harry and informed him of this, so he will stay with us temporarily-"

"If we're going to the Grangers', I have no objection," Draco said quickly. He still wanted to experience what Muggle life was like.

And Hermione's house... is a good choice.

Of course he had heard that Hermione's family was well off, so it was natural that good things from the Muggle world would also appear in their home.

When that time comes, let Hermione explain it to him.

Draco's idea was indeed good.

At this time, Harry also received a call from Vivi.

After hearing Vivi's voice and seeing Vivi's image, Cassandra's little face suddenly fell.

Why is this woman...always haunting me?

"Okay, I got it." Harry nodded and hung up the phone.

He said to the Forgotten Couple... no, the Malfoys, "Draco is at the Weasleys' house for now, don't worry, we can go to the Weasleys' house together to pick him up tomorrow."

"Since Arthur is the one taking care of the little dragon, I feel relieved." Lucius breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had some minor conflicts with Mr. Weasley, Lucius had always believed in his character.
