Chapter 916: Chapter 370: Evil Ritual

Harry is such a clever person, although he doesn’t know how to respond for now, as the saying goes, if you can’t answer a question, then divert it.

He immediately thought of a solution to the problem.

He didn’t directly answer Vivi’s question, but instead chose to throw this life-threatening question to Gellert.

"I do have a question, Gellert." Harry said with a mischievous grin, looking at Gellert and asking, "Why do you think I want to give this crown to someone else? Do you think your sister doesn’t deserve this crown? Or is it..."

Gellert took a deep breath.

Okay, Scarhead Enchantress...

You’re playing like this, huh?

How should he respond to that?

This is trying to poke a hole and ending up blocked on both ends!

Once again turning to his sister, he found that her "gentle" gaze had already shifted onto him.

"Why would that be?" Gellert quickly said: "Scar—Potter, don’t slander me—I was just curious why you would put away this crown instead of giving it directly to my sister!"

"Oh~" Harry nodded, within moments, he already thought of how to reply.

So, he said: "Isn’t it appropriate to choose a suitable moment to give such a gift? Just because I sincerely respect Vivi, I wouldn’t choose to rashly give her this crown but would select an appropriate time, don’t you think?"

Gellert pulled a sour face, forcing a cold smile.

Rebut?

How to rebut that?

He’s already boxed into an endgame.

"You’ve got a point, Potter." Gellert wasn’t backing down easily, "If I discover you’ve ever wronged my sister, beware, we’ll never be done!"

Vivi withdrew her gaze and looked back at the files on the table.

Gellert and Harry exchanged a glance, and both saw the look of relief in each other’s eyes.

Damn, that was walking a tightrope.

"There are still a few soul artifacts next." Dumbledore tried changing the topic, "Harry, do you want to continue?"

"I suggest we take a break, Dumbledore." Vivi suddenly spoke up, "We aren’t in a rush to remove the soul fragments from the soul artifacts, right? Harry needs a rest too."

"Alright then." Dumbledore nodded, scanning the soul artifacts still placed upon the table, deciding to hold his tongue further.

Harry sat down next to Vivi, a house-elf brought him a cup of red tea.

He actually still had the drive for action, but since this was Vivi’s concern, he couldn’t bear to refuse her goodwill.

Might as well rest for a while, anyway, there’s no urgency to destroy all these soul artifacts at once.

After sipping a couple of times, Vivi put down the files she was holding.

"Come with me, Harry." Vivi stood up and said.

Harry stood up as well, turning his head, he discovered Gellert mouthing him, "You’re finished, Scarhead."

He resisted and resisted, finally controlling the impulse to cast a minor evil curse at Gellert.

This guy, why does he become so annoying lately?

He followed Vivi to a small partition in the office, just stood still, when he saw Vivi turning around.

"Don’t move." Vivi reached out her hand to hold his head, "I need to check if there’s any strain on your body."

A cool sensation spread over his forehead, subsequently, Vivi released her hand.

"As robust as a fire dragon, huh." Vivi said with a gentle smile, "So, let me guess—are you planning to give this crown to Cassandra or Pabi?"

"Why would you think that?" Harry felt the alarm bells in his heart.

This woman, isn’t she trying to con me?

"Why couldn’t I think that?" Vivi asked with a playful smile, "Don’t feed me the nonsense about waiting for some significant day to give it. How could a little rascal like you have such meticulous thoughts? Come on, is it Cassandra or Pabi?"

Alright, alright, since you’ve seen through me, I’ll stop pretending!

Harry asked: "Why not guess Annie?"

Vivi showed a ’Just as I thought’ expression, smilingly said: "It’s quite easy to tell, Annie is a very clever girl, she doesn’t need this crown at all... and Cassandra... I believe she could use a bit more wisdom."

"What about Pabi?" Harry asked.

"Pabi is too simple-minded." Vivi remarked while turning her face the other way, "I don’t suggest giving this crown to her as wisdom is not the same as common sense, you understand what I mean?"

"Alright." Harry shrugged, pulling out the crown and handed it to Vivi, "Here you go."

Vivi took the crown, said to Harry: "Later, I’ll hand it to Cassandra and say it’s from you."

Then, she paused for a moment, added: "Not getting to be Hogwarts’ Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts is indeed a disappointing matter for Cassandra, I can tell she harbors some resentment."

"It’s my fault." Harry lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "I shouldn’t have spoken to her before things were determined, giving her hope only to let her down..."

"The fact you can recognize your mistake is a good thing." Vivi put away the crown, reaching out to tousle Harry’s hair, "But I need to remind you, Cassandra is a very proud girl, she’s different from me."

Harry thought, you’re certainly prouder than Cassandra, but he couldn’t say that directly.

Truth be told, he even felt a bit touched.

Vivi was indeed wonderful, even now she still stood up for him.

She could indeed be the woman who becomes my mother!
