Harry shivered, it seemed that both the portrait and Vivi were equally dangerous.
He began to mourn for Gellert, oh dear, your sister is about to settle scores with you!
"Looks like I need to make a trip to Nimongard myself." Vivi snorted coldly, "I need to personally question my foolish brother why he took all the money I had stored at Gringotts!"
"And the alchemy materials," Harry added, "He only left you a crown... hey, this crown looks quite familiar."
"It's the one I was wearing," Vivi said softly, "Do you remember? In 1888, in Vienna, the crown you helped me take down from the tree."
"Oh, I remember now," Harry realized, "I was wondering why it seemed so familiar... Speaking of which, what happened to those who bullied you later? I haven't heard anything about them?"
"They're all dead," Vivi said with a smile, "Well, it's been so many years, they must be dead by now, right?"
Harry suddenly remembered a Chinese professor named Hao Ying, who once told them about an emperor named Zheng Ying. Apparently, when he was a child in the Zhao Kingdom's capital, Handan, he was bullied. But after he became king, he prepared an army and attacked Zhao, and because of his childhood grudges, he buried those kids who once bullied him.
He shivered, thinking that Vivi shouldn't be such a vengeful person.
"Haha," Harry chuckled dryly, "So what about Gellert? What do you plan to do? After all, he is your younger brother. You wouldn't want his life, right?"
"Hmph," Vivi snorted, "Being defeated and then being recorded on a Chocolate Frog Card, it's just disgraceful! In comparison, I would have preferred he did something significant with my money! But I really didn't expect him to waste my money and achieve nothing..."
"I think he should pay it back," Harry suggested indirectly, after all, Grindelwald is Vivi's own flesh and blood, he should be spared...
Look at Pabi, he's got two nephews and nieces, and their offspring too, rounding it all up it's four generations living together, just a blissful family.
But Gellert...
Harry thought, if Gellert could marry and have children like Newt, perhaps Vivi would take pity on such cute juniors and spare poor Gael.
But...
He came out of the closet.
This is just...
But since Vivi has just returned, it's obviously not the right time to bring up such a sensational piece of news.
What if she loses control of her magical power and floods the entire study?
It wouldn't matter if just the study gets destroyed...
But if she ends up blowing the whole castle away, that would be a disaster.
Fortunately, Vivi didn't seem too angry. Thinking this, Harry said to her, "Vivi, I think we should find another place... After all, you're not a student at Hogwarts now, you can't just live in our dormitory, can you?"
"It's vacation time now, what's the harm in staying in your dormitory?" Vivi asked with a light smile, she didn't mind sharing a bed with Harry.
"No way, Ron and Seamus are both at school," Harry quickly replied, "They didn't go home for vacation, apparently there are some issues at home."
"Ron? Seamus?" Vivi asked with interest, "You haven't told me about your little friends yet. After several years at Hogwarts, you must have made new friends, right?"
Her tone was so convincing, causing Harry to believe she was genuinely interested in asking.
"Oh, Ron and Seamus are my roommates, and there's also Neville," Harry said with a smile, "We also hang out with Hermione, but..."
"But what?" Vivi asked with a smile.
Harry leaned over to her ear and said, "But I always feel that Hermione seems to like Ron, and Ron quite likes Hermione too... But Hermione always likes to boss Ron around, so Ron is a bit afraid of Hermione because of that—yet neither of them wants to admit they like each other, and they bicker all the time..."
"Oh? There's actually something like that?" Vivi laughed even more, this time, her eyes were also full of amusement, "But why do I always feel, that such a story feels so familiar?"
"Is there?" Harry thought for a moment, but couldn't think of anyone he knew who had a similar relationship to them.
"Of course there is," Vivi said.
"Who?" asked Harry, intrigued.
Vivi looked at Harry as if he were a little fool and gently said, "I'm not telling you."
Harry sniffed and turned away with a humph.
"Haha..."
Vivi extended her hand to support Harry's face and smiled as she ruffled his messy hair for a while.
"See, the texture's still nice, just as good as ever—I haven't ruffled you at this age yet."
"Really?" Harry blushed.
"Hmph." Vivi flicked Harry on the forehead, "Speaking of which, what about Cassandra? Have you heard anything about her?"
"No," Harry replied truthfully, "I've only seen one letter from Trelawney to her, that's the Prophet, Cassandra Trelawney."
He recounted the contents of that letter to Vivi verbatim.
Vivi fell silent.
"I can imagine how much that letter must have affected her," Vivi sighed softly, "Back then, I had tried to persuade her whether she wanted to enter the time seal with me... but she disdainfully said she didn't want to find a boy unrelated to her... But it turns out, Harry, she cares about you more than anyone else."
"Really?" Harry asked in a sour tone.
"Of course," Vivi reached out to rub Harry's head, "Trust me, I know Cassandra better than anyone."
As she spoke, she slowly stood up.
"I've rested enough, I think it's time for us to go," Vivi said to Harry, "Come on, since your dormitory is unavailable, we'll go to the Broken Cauldron Bar... Fiona!"
Fiona, sensing her master's call, flew onto Vivi's shoulder.
However, after grabbing Harry's arm, Vivi fell into a long silence.
"What's wrong?" Harry asked with concern.
"I think..." Vivi's voice was very soft, "I've... lost my magic power."
