Chapter 352: Dream Come True

After lunch, Harry went to the Headmaster's office again. He could understand that Sineipu seeing Bondarev off personally was because he was worried that he would wander around the campus and do something bad. However, the morning's conversation itself lacked a conclusion.

"Professor, I found that magic in Grindelwald's notebook," Harry raised the notebook in his hand. "And it doesn't seem very dark."

"Just controlling corpses, not imprisoning souls?" Sineipu looked at the spell's explanation seriously, then put the diary aside. "This is one thing, another thing is, we cannot completely be manipulated by the Soviets."

Harry nodded seriously.

"I vaguely understand what you wanted to do with the lie about leaving the painting. Foreign wizards reach out to our side again and again, which never happened when Deng Buliduo was alive," Sineipu pursed his lips. "If we want to make Bondarev believe that Deng Buliduo can be resurrected, it is impossible to refuse the opportunity to completely destroy Voldemort. And if he finds that Deng Buliduo is clearly not dead but we are stammering, then he will inevitably suspect whether Voldemort can also not be resurrected."

"Deng Buliduo is clearly not dead?" Harry froze for a moment, then thought of that painting. "We were careless and let him see the Headmaster's portrait!"

"He specifically wanted to see it. He said he wanted to visit the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts. If I didn't let him, that would also be a kind of cover-up, a kind of lack of confidence," Sineipu took a deep breath. "Only by showing the fact that Deng Buliduo is not dead generously, and then showing confidence, can I have a chance to fool him... or drag the time."

"Drag time?"

"Don't need to drag for long. Ge Xuan hasn't been idle this year either. He seems to be developing a new kind of magic, which can attract Yanayev's attention again," Sineipu looked at Harry. "Time is enough for you to grow up."

Harry felt the pressure was a bit high, but he still reluctantly agreed.

"We still have to find a way to kill Nagini and steal the Golden Cup. This is also a signal, predicting that we accepted the Soviet suggestion. The two factions among the Death Eaters cooperate with the White House and the Kremlin respectively, which is not too bad, barely able to maintain balance, it is a game rule that everyone can accept," Sineipu's fingers rested on that diary. "The problem is, how do we win the game under this rule."

"Will the Death Eaters know our intentions?" Harry asked.

"This depends on how you want to set this plan. If you want to use the Phoenix Society, then the Death Eaters will definitely know," Sineipu said. "Even if there is really no mole among the increasingly many and messy personnel now, the Death Eaters themselves will closely monitor the movements of the Phoenix Society."

"And once they notice that the Phoenix Society has any big moves, they will definitely prioritize protecting the venue, then it will be difficult for us to take action on Nagini."

"If we don't want to start a full-scale war, it's difficult for us to mobilize personnel," Harry analyzed. "We can only quietly delegate tasks to some people that Death Eaters never pay attention to."

"And the Golden Cup..." Sineipu said somewhat hesitantly. "I don't really want to get the Golden Cup, but Bondarev contacted a goblin for us, and this goblin will also report our actions."

"For example, we send Mundungus to steal the Golden Cup, which can be considered professional alignment. But after this matter is known by the Soviet side, they will feel strange. Sending this kind of person, is it really sincere to want to steal the Golden Cup?" Harry quickly understood this concern. "But if we send someone powerful enough, for example Kingsley, and he really steals the Golden Cup back, then it becomes a hot potato. Unless we can find someone who can act, is good at acting, can fool the goblin, and must make him understand..."

A name instantly jumped to his lips, Tonks. Harry believed that as a Metamorphmagus, her acting skills must also be quite good.

"I'll handle this matter," Sineipu looked out the window. "You need to have more time to study, and practice Occlumency."

Seeming to see Harry's hesitation, he added: "I will establish contact with the Magical Congress. There are factional struggles within them too. We need more information to have a complete understanding of the situation before we can formulate this plan."

To some extent, this was good news for Harry himself. Because there wasn't much time left before the exams, he indeed needed this time to review his lessons. And under the Headmaster's lead, Slughorn didn't always warmly invite him to the Slug Club anymore.

Harry put most of his spare time and energy into reviewing his lessons. Anuo De even privately hinted that he could write his homework directly in the Minister's office. The Minister definitely couldn't raise any objections to this, because he was convinced that the current Minister for Magic definitely couldn't understand fifth-year homework.

It wasn't until mid-May that one thing broke his life: the paternity test report finally came out.

Harry submitted the report truthfully, and the test results didn't exceed Harry's expectations. Instead, the Muggle expert responsible for the test felt very surprised by the test results. In the report, he recognized that Harry and Dai Erfei had a kinship and were highly likely to be paternal half-siblings, but didn't exclude the possibility that they were actually cousins or something.

Of course, this was because the Muggle expert didn't know about the existence of the resurrection ritual, which was the reason why William had to have a copy of the report—he began to try hard to popularize genetics knowledge for the Death Eaters, but the result was that this report, just as Clara predicted, meant nothing and couldn't prove anything.

After the dispute over Harry's background reached a stalemate, the Death Eaters also temporarily shelved this matter. Perhaps it was because they all started to pin their hopes on the election: Bella and Lucius believed that Nagini would act according to their ideas, while Harry and Sineipu were preparing to kill Nagini in advance before the election.

"I feel life is a bit oppressive now," Harry said during a review session. "This feeling of undercurrents surging while the surface is calm is really not good."

"Calm on the surface?" Luo Nade looked at him. "Did you forget that we are about to play the last Quidditch match against Ravenclaw?"

"No suspense, everyone knows we have already booked the House Cup," Harry's tone carried a trace of boredom. "Will you lose to a fish-belly team like Ravenclaw? And have to lose by four hundred points."

"My meaning is, even if you don't think this is a wonderful match," Luo Nade said confidently when eating breakfast on the day of the match, "at least we will have one more reason to have a party."

Harry and Eve walked toward the high stands. They noticed that Hemin and Ailina were already sitting in the middle of a group of Gryffindors in the second row. Although Harry wanted to change to another place, Eve still pulled him to walk there.

"Ha," Nawei, Seamus, and Dean caught up with them. "Where is Zhang Qiu?"

"She's not in the mood to watch this match," Harry shrugged. "She went to help Hagrid settle Grawp."

"We are going to do something big this time," Nawei said somewhat regretfully. "Why didn't Zhang Qiu come herself?"

"What?" Harry revealed a surprised expression. "No one has ever told me about this..."

"When we were at the Deng Buliduo's Army gathering—" Eve suddenly laughed. "Ah, maybe only you and Luo Nade didn't know about this."

With a feeling of curiosity and skepticism, Harry sat in the crowd of Gryffindors with them. Under the bright, sunny sunshine, the players began to enter the field, and the match was about to start soon.

"The match begins, Dai Weisi gets the ball immediately," Lee Jordan's voice sounded in the commentary box. "He dodged Johnson, dodged Spinnet... he rushed straight toward the goal!"

Immediately after, everyone's focus was on the first shot of the opening, and Luo Nade, after swaying left and right for a while, very easily stretched out his arm and blocked the Quaffle. A cheer erupted from the Gryffindor seating area instantly.

Just after Luo Nade threw the ball out, the Quaffle returned to Ravenclaw's hands in the blink of an eye. Harry only then noticed that Fred and Angelina were guarding Jin Ni on the left and right. They looked like they were prepared to make a quick decision—for this, they didn't mind losing a few points.

Soon, Bradley controlled the ball again, and he rushed toward the goal. After making a slight feint, he threw the ball hard toward the ring on the right—and Luo Nade had been waiting there for a long time.

A cheer erupted from the Gryffindor seating area again, and this time it lasted for an exceptionally long time, so long that when the cheers began to weaken slightly, Luo Nade easily blocked another shot from Chambers.

Suddenly, Harry saw more than half of the students wearing red school uniforms stand up abruptly, and a strange singing voice followed: "Wei Wei Silai is our king, Wei Wei Silai is our king, he never lets the ball in, Wei Wei Silai is our king..."

Even across half the stadium, Harry could see Luo Nade's ears turning red.

What made Harry feel even more coincidental and just right was that just after Luo Nade blocked another attack by Dai Weisi, and the chorus began to be slightly weak, another crisp voice sounded on the other side of the stadium: "I caught the Snitch!"

After just half an hour of the match, a large group of crowds wearing red and gold clothes held two people high and moved slowly toward the castle. They were a bit too enthusiastic, squeezing Harry to the back.

"Clean and neat," Luna caught up with him from behind. "Congratulations to you guys."

"Then, Zhang Qiu's experiment can be considered a success," Cui Ge said sourly. ===== CHAPTER 353 =====
