Killing intent!
Not only Harry, but even Cassandra clearly felt it.
Harry had every reason to suspect that Vivi had used her prophetic talent to see everything that was about to happen, which was why she left Austria to come to Hogwarts Castle to "catch them in the act."
Although he didn't know what this word meant, the words and scenes that flashed in Harry's mind at a certain moment were exactly this.
At this moment, he shifted his pleading gaze to Cassandra.
Kathy, say something!
Cassandra showed a slightly mocking expression and gave Vivi a sideways glance, signaling to Harry that he should handle his own matters.
At this moment, Harry knew that he could only take this on himself.
He took a deep breath and braced himself to say, "Oh, I was in an abandoned classroom on the second floor, with Kathy."
"Oh?" Vivi's phantom pretended to be surprised and asked, "Second floor? Abandoned classroom? Do you have something important to discuss together?"
"Yes."
Harry gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, with a determined look as if he were about to join a party.
"I invited Kathy to the Christmas Ball with me."
After speaking, he added another sentence.
"As my dance partner."
"I see." Vivi's gaze was gentle. "Well... Kathy is indeed a good choice, but... as a Gryffindor, would your professors and classmates hope you invite a Slytherin as your dance partner?"
"Of course, they wouldn't mind." Harry patted his chest and said, "After all, I'm the warrior representing Gryffindor, and, uh..."
"And what?" Vivi asked with a smile.
"And Fred and George said something good," Harry evasively said, "Let a Slytherin woman bear the child of a Gryffindor..."
"Oh." Vivi nodded and said, "That is indeed a great ambition... So, which classroom are you in? I'll come up and find you now."
As she said this, Vivi's expression was extremely gentle, as if she were speaking sweet nothings to Harry.
But Harry knew, the situation was very dangerous now, very fucking dangerous.
After finishing, Vivi disconnected the communication.
Leaving Harry and Cassandra in the classroom, staring at each other.
"What should we do?" Harry asked.
"What else can we do?" Cassandra sneered, "This is a matter of love you got into yourself, you'll have to handle it yourself—Merlin, I'm just attending the ball with you as a friend and becoming your dance partner, so why have I attracted Grindelwald, the biggest love rival ever? Alas..."
"Just friends?" Harry looked up and asked.
Damn, making such a big fuss, causing the top jealous king of Austria... no, the top jealous king of Austria-Hungary to erupt in jealousy and now you tell me we're just friends?
Then wasn't I enduring all this anger for nothing?
"What else?" Cassandra looked at Harry mockingly, "What do you think our relationship should be? No, right—Grindelwald is your girlfriend now, don't you think..."
Before she could finish, Harry stood up, stretched out his arms, and pulled Cassandra's neck down with force.
Off guard, Cassandra was bewildered by Harry's sudden attack.
Not until their lips parted did Cassandra realize what had just happened.
"Potter!"
She yelled angrily, "What on earth are you doing to a lady so rudely!"
"As you can see." Harry wiped his mouth and said with a mischievous smile, "Now, we're more than just friends, Kathy—We're in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, do you agree?"
"Huh." Cassandra squinted, "And Grindelwald? What do you think your relationship with her is, right now—"
"She's also my girlfriend." Harry shamelessly said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Vivi's voice called out from outside.
"Harry? Kathy? Where are you?"
Hearing this, Harry shivered.
Talking nonsense is one thing, causing trouble is another, he had enough guts to say this in front of Cassandra—but if he had to say it in front of Vivi, Harry felt that even being hit by an Avada Kedavra or kissing Snape was better than facing Vivi's wrath.
He had heard all about what Newt had gone through back in the day.
Gellert targeted him in every possible way because Newt was Dumbledore's favorite student, repeatedly chased him, and even left him with two famous sayings.
"Do you think Dumbledore would mourn for you?" and "Why does Albus Dumbledore like you so much?"
As Gellert's sister, Vivi was quite similar to him in certain ways, especially in terms of jealousy.
Not only similar, but she might surpass him.
Harry was really afraid she'd say something like "Do you think Cassandra Malfoy would mourn for you," and then use her signature Protego Gubraithian on him...
Although he wasn't afraid of that spell, the castle couldn't withstand that woman's violent destruction.
Hogwarts Castle was already too ancient; it couldn't endure such events.
Just at this time, a door in a classroom outside suddenly banged open.
"Harry? Kathy?"
Vivi's voice followed.
"Oh~ not here..."
The footsteps got closer and closer, Harry looked at Cassandra and mouthed silently, "Do something! Now!"
Yet at this moment, Cassandra had no intention of running; her eyes burned with fighting spirit, as if she was eager to meet Vivi.
Harry was pondering his strategy when the classroom door suddenly blew a big hole with a bang.
