Chapter 1037: Chapter 430: I Will Always Love Cassandra_2

At that time, he didn’t know what it meant, but now he does.

Indeed, this feeling is akin to Lady Vida Rozier liking Gellert Grindelwald.

Chasing straight women 1, it’s endless, right?

In Gellert’s heart, there’s always a red-haired country girl from England residing (not really).

But speaking of which, if transformed into the opposite gender, Dumbledore at that time really resembled the typical female lead in various novels—a personality-dependent weak big sister genius type.

"I advised Ignatius not to do this back then, but he didn’t listen." Cassandra turned her head, seemingly stifling a laugh, "You see, he even thought I was prejudiced against Hufflepuff... But honestly, I’ve never been prejudiced against any Hufflepuff."

"Impossible!" Pabi suddenly protested, "You called me a donkey! A stupid donkey, just two days ago!"

"Oh." Cassandra made an ’oh’ sound, "I only have a prejudice against you, not Hufflepuff, Miss Donkey."

"Ahhhhh!" Pabi was angrily ranting and suddenly flopped next to Harry, squeezing his arm to act cute: "Look at her, Harry! Say something!"

"Uh..." Harry scratched his head and said, "If classified by biology, unicorns are indeed like donkeys, both are equids?"

Pabi took a deep breath...

"Not necessarily, given they’re magical creatures." Vivi rested her delicate hand on her chin, smiling, "Unicorns may not be equids, but should belong to the odd-toed ungulates group—look, donkeys are odd-toed ungulates too."

Pabi couldn’t catch her breath and almost fainted.

She really hadn’t thought that big sister Vivi, known for being fair and impartial, would also gang up with silly Cassandra to bully her.

Is it just because they’re both Slytherins?

"Am I really a fool?" Pabi asked Harry, tearfully.

"Little fool." Harry reached out and ruffled Pabi’s head: "How could you be a fool?"

Pabi angrily punched Harry’s arm, then felt maybe it wasn’t so bad, so she punched it again.

"You all teamed up to bully me!" Pabi said angrily, "I’m not talking to you anymore!"

With that, she turned her head in a huff, sulking by herself and being mad.

Harry coaxed her for a while before she finally started to smile again, looking happy.

Cassandra sighed helplessly.

This fellow... is really easy to appease.

The class reunion party lasted until late into the night, ending with everyone reluctant to leave.

Before leaving, Vivi left a contact address for Professor Garrick, planning to temporarily bring her to the European Ministry of Magic for research on hybrid plants.

Professor Garrick happily agreed, as she was already very interested in plants, and now that someone invited her to do research, why not?

No cost to her and she can have fun, nothing could be better.

"Do you also see promise in these hybrid plants?" Cassandra asked, reaching out to Vivi in the carriage, "I mean, do you truly see promise rather than just placating Professor Garrick?"

"I indeed think it’s very promising." Vivi held Cassandra’s small hand in white lace gloves and used it to get into the carriage, "Not every wizard is like us, Kathy... As for those hybrid plants, they can serve as effective attack methods for them... Of course, these plants should be controlled and certainly shouldn’t spread among ordinary people, which I think is very necessary."

"My intuition tells me you’re intending to profit from this." Cassandra said disdainfully, "You’ve become the Minister of Magic, do you still care about these petty profits?"

Of course, Cassandra wasn’t thinking that Vivi was interested in money, she was just teasing her with that comment.

"Ha, I never thought of profiting off others." Vivi smiled, her lips curling.

"If you don’t profit off others, who are you planning to profit off?" Cassandra asked curiously, "Potter’s? I remember he’s quite the wealthy, he has lots of gold in the Gringotts vaults—he’s boasted to me many times."

"No, I’m profiting off you." Vivi said, sitting beside Cassandra, and reached out to pinch and play with her face.

The return trip was quick, within half an hour they were back at No. 13 Grimmo Square.

Since Little Sirius was still in Argentina, No. 12 was completely empty, and Harry didn’t plan to visit.

They returned to their respective rooms, Harry initially planned to head back to Hogwarts, but upon seeing Cassandra’s slender and straight, black silk-clad beautiful legs, he quickly changed his mind.

...

The next day, Harry returned to the school via Apparition Displacement.

Hogwarts remained unchanged, everyone living three-point-one-line lives: dormitory—hall—classroom, which was dull, flat, and tasteless.

"I really want to find some excitement." Neville sat on the chair, boredly and said, "Living like this every day, I feel like all my joints are going to rust..."

"What kind of excitement are you looking for?" Seamus turned and asked, "Shall we... have Harry find you some Level 5X magical creatures to relax and stretch your muscles?"

Seamus shivered.

"Maybe not." He said, "I suddenly feel life is full of fun—"

He still remembered the summer where Harry found them that Chimera.

It was terrifying, not something students could handle—but they overcame the difficulties and managed to defeat the Chimera.

These difficulties shouldn’t belong to them, but when there aren’t any, Harry creates them, that’s the logic...

"I think the Dueling House should indeed reopen." Harry said with a smile, "I don’t have much to do recently, maybe we can go to the Forbidden Forest, what do you say? If I remember correctly, there are quite a few magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest... Hagrid’s friend, Argo, is an Eight-eyed Giant Spider, and I’ve heard Hagrid bought it a wife. Over the years, considering spiders’ breeding capacity, there must not be a shortage of those in the Forbidden Forest."

Thinking about it, Harry was reminded of Little Sirius.

It seemed when Little Sirius survived in the Forbidden Forest, besides dead rats, he mostly ate Eight-eyed Giant Spiders.

It’s said he ate them raw, all one can say is that the Godfather is quite the tough guy!

"Maybe not?" Ron said, fearfully, "Spiders and such... I really can’t deal with them!"

"No problem, just spiders." Seamus waved his hand dismissively, "It’s just spiders, what’s an Eight-eyed Giant Spider? With all of us together, are we really afraid of that?"

"Afraid." Ron nodded rapidly, eyes full of fear.

"You see, that’s not realistic?" Seamus patted Ron’s shoulder and said, "The best way to eliminate fear is to face it! Bravely defeat it! Otherwise, you’ll always live in the shadow of fear..."

"Really?" Ron asked skeptically.

"Of course it’s true." Harry said beside him, "You don’t believe Seamus, but surely you believe me? Let’s go to the Forbidden Forest, let’s face the Eight-eyed Giant Spider, I think this is a great opportunity—a chance to help you overcome fear."

Saying this, he leaned in close to Ron and whispered: "Ron, you wouldn’t want Hermione to know about your fear of spiders, right?"

Unexpectedly, Ron didn’t follow the script.

"Oh, she already knows." Ron said nonchalantly.
