HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 289 De Vries

Ginny didn't want to hear them praise how popular Harry was, so she just said, "I'll go help in the kitchen."

Harry looked up several times in a short period of time, secretly paying attention to Ginny's back until she entered the kitchen.

Gloria sighed. Harry still fell in love with a girl who had a boyfriend. What was wrong with the people around her?

Fred said casually, "After we finish eating, let's go outside to set off the fireworks."

George said, "As much as we'd like to have it in the house..."

"Don't even think about it!" Mrs. Weasley took the time out of her busy schedule to say this, pointing at the twins with great authority.

"We'll finish those fireworks outside the door," Fred promised.

Mrs. Weasley then returned to the kitchen.

The meal was very delicious and the laughter at the table never stopped. Perhaps, given the tense situation, this was the only moment of relaxation at the Burrow.

After the meal, the Weasley twins took a few people out to set off fireworks.

Thanks to the protective magic provided by the Ministry of Magic, only they can see the fireworks.

Gloria found an opportunity to come to Tonks and said, "The person you like is Mr. Lupin."

Tonks was not surprised. After a moment of silence, she asked, "How did you know?"

"When you were eating just now, you couldn't help but look up at Mr. Lupin. Of course, you would look away quickly every time." Gloria said, "But the first person you looked at was always him."

"Yes." Tonks said in a low voice, "I like him."

Gloria didn't quite understand, "Why?"

"I don't know either." Tonks smiled unconsciously as she spoke. "Maybe it's because he's smart and gentle. When I was healing the pain caused by the Cruciatus Curse and when I was living alone in the house in London, he would always take time to visit me and talk about interesting things. I fell in love with him over time."

Gloria thought of Lupin's identity as a werewolf, "Even if he knew, he might not agree to you."

"I expected that," Tonks said, "but I like him, and I have no intention of letting him know that."

Gloria wanted to sigh when she heard this, but in the end she could only say, "If you like it, then like it."

Tonks put her arm around her shoulders, "I envy your relationship with Draco. It's smooth and stable."

"It's rare for someone to mention my relationship with Draco." Gloria said, "Sirius seems to have forgotten about it, and the topics of our conversations are always about life and study."

Tonks understood why Sirius didn't want to talk about it.

For a moment, everyone was looking at the particularly brilliant fireworks in the night sky. Gloria looked up and saw Harry silently staring at Ginny's back.

Tonks isn't the only one who likes someone but wants to keep silent.

There were only a few days left in the Christmas holiday, and Gloria decided to spend it well at the manor.

But before going back to school, I have to see someone.

"Dear Miss Gloria, a visitor has arrived, but he has been standing at the door looking outside."

When the elf mentioned this, Gloria realized that someone had arrived.

"It's okay. He can stand there as long as he wants."

Van der Vries sent a letter to the Ministry of Magic during Christmas. Conrad and his friends had been paying attention to various letters, so they naturally discovered the unusual recipient of this letter at the first time.

The content of the letter was very simple, just wanting to meet someone.

It has been more than half a year, so Gloria simply sent a letter to the address where the letter came from, with a password that could be used separately at a fixed time.

After finishing the tasks at hand, I went to the hall and saw Fan, who looked crazy, at the door.

Hearing the footsteps, Fan said, "My ancestors were right. Decades ago, when I heard that a descendant of Slytherin had appeared in the British wizarding world, my grandfather was very excited and went to verify it. However, he returned disappointed as he found out that the half-blood of the Gaunt family was from the same family."

Gloria simply stood by the door and listened to him chattering.

"Originally, my father's generation had given up. Perhaps after hundreds of years, the magical Slytherin family had died out." Fan said this and looked at Gloria. "But when he was about to die, he saw the report about you. I have never seen him so happy. Before he died, he asked me to find you."

In fact, there is another important point, which is to strengthen the De Vries family again.

The De Vries family was once very famous in the Netherlands. After a series of events, the family began to decline, but they still believed in what that person said, that all wizards would go to a different world.

Gloria, not knowing what was in his mind, said, "But you found Voldemort."

"Yes." Fan said, "Because you are all of Slytherin blood, although I don't know you well enough, I know that you will not be able to coexist peacefully. It is better to come to the Death Eater camp in advance and collect some useful information for you."

He knew very well that as long as he showed enough sincerity, he could still get on Gloria's side.

Besides, his previous performances have shown his attitude.

Fan stared at Gloria and said, "As long as you are willing, even the title of Savior Star can be given to you."

He observed Harry and realized that he had limited talent and did not have the ability to defeat Voldemort.

But Gloria was different. Although Voldemort didn't say it explicitly, he was actually very afraid of her.

"No, I'm not interested in being a savior." Gloria waved her hand. "Harry and Voldemort are enemies. Let them pursue their own destinies to the end."

Van nodded, "If you wish."

After a moment of silence, Gloria asked, "Is this what you came here to talk about today?"

"That was just small talk." Fan said, "Before you started school, Voldemort asked two students to find something in Hogwarts. It was mysterious but very important. During this Christmas holiday, I specifically asked those two students to find something."

Gloria said: "If I'm not mistaken, Voldemort must be in a bad mood after asking this question."

Fan was a little surprised, "You already know?"

"Yes." Gloria did not deny it, "But the thing is gone. Even if you turn the whole Hogwarts upside down, it will be useless."

She was not interested in this kind of thing that she had known for a long time, so she asked, "Since you want to show your sincerity, do you know which wizards have joined the Death Eaters?"

Fan mentioned a few families, and then said, "In fact, some families chose to remain neutral because of Dumbledore and you. In order to avoid trouble, they used their connections to buy alarms, set up protection around their houses, and were very careful when traveling. Because of this, Voldemort targeted some ordinary young wizards and cast the Imperius Curse on them."

Gloria understood. "So the Ministry of Magic arrested the wrong person."

"Of course there are." He said, "There are no Dementors in Azkaban now, and those who are wrongly arrested will not be tortured, but their freedom will be restricted."

"Speaking of which, there was a man who had just graduated from Hogwarts and was captured." Fan had a good impression of this man. "His name is Montague. He was about to leave England when he was spotted by the Death Eaters. He claimed to be a graduate of Slytherin College, and was taken to a hiding place by them."

Gloria didn't expect to hear from this man again, "He was the Slytherin Quidditch Captain before he graduated."

"That's what he said. He wanted to learn something about you, but he kept expressing his hatred for Gryffindor." Van said, "Since he was still very young, he was sent to do simple tasks."
