So Harry began to grow into a pseudo-lion who became a small snake in lion's skin.

Although I am not old Deng Hei, but this does not prevent my daughter from stumbling over old Deng, anyway, the fact that Opal approached Harry was also acquiesced by old Deng, right? When I think of Lao Deng lifting a stone and hitting himself in the foot, no matter how I think about it, I think it is a very pleasant thing.

Anyway, the most basic structure of HP Horcruxes have been changed by me.,Then I don't mind letting the whole text start to deviate from the trajectory of the plot.,Anyway, from the time I drew lots to decide that the male protagonist was V big (not split),It's already doomed to my three views of this article are not correct.,Hmm......

As for the problem of incurrry, haven't you gotten used to reading my article for so long?

Sword 4 (upright): Dispels uneasiness.

Cappadocia Manor, England

"Opal, have you seen Cerberus?"

When he woke up early in the morning, he found that the big black dog that had been sticking to him had suddenly disappeared, and Harry felt that he was really not used to it.

[Nick?] Mr. Yeji took it for a health check-up this morning. I won't be back until the afternoon. ]

Opal, who was reading the letter from the owl, didn't take his eyes off the letter, but he did give the answer, [Draco was reading a book in the study, Pansy and Blaise went to Diagon Alley today to buy the essentials for the new semester.] Does Harry have a plan? ]

"I was going to play with Cerberus, but since it's not there, forget it."

Harry pursed his lips and sat down directly beside Opal, flipping through a casual magazine she had placed on the edge of the table - Opal liked to read Muggle magazines during his breaks, and several of them knew that the three aristocratic children never commented on it, but Harry found Opal's approach very kind.

Then, without waiting for Opal's answer, he turned to another aspect: "Hasn't the school's notice letter been sent yet?" Why do Pansy and Blaise run out to buy books now? It's not an excuse to go on a date, is it? ”

At this time, Sebastian thoughtfully brought the refreshments that both Opal and Harry liked, and then quietly withdrew as if he had come after giving some hints in Opal's ear.

Opal is used to it, so he doesn't feel anything—although Sebastian and Charles are both demons, they have left their original plane, and then made a pact with Sister Qianwei to stay in this world.

And it was also because of the contract that the position and attributes changed, so Opal, as the "son of Gaia", did not have much disgust with these two demon deacons. On the contrary, she felt that the presence of these two deacons had saved her a lot of strength - at least Opal didn't think that she could keep the castle so well organized without Sebastian alone, and Charles had helped her a lot in handling her official duties.

But Harry blushed slightly—every time he saw Opal with her two deacons, probably because of his temperament, the picture was so beautiful that no matter how many times he looked at it, he couldn't be immune.

[The textbooks at Hogwarts have basically not changed much, and most of the books can be purchased in advance, and it is good to make up for the ones that were not purchased after the official notice is sent, so that there is no need to crowd the bookstore with the large number of book buyers.] ]

Opal smiled and put down the letter in his hand, then took the quill and the letter next to him and began to write back, [Speaking of which, has Harry already contacted your friend?] ]

"Absolutely. Just contacted two days ago. ”

At the mention of his friend, Harry's emerald blue eyes immediately narrowed happily behind the glasses, and he pushed his eyes and smiled, "Although Hermione was taught a good lesson for using magic, Ron was very much in favor of me - well, but he resented that I didn't choose to ask him for help." ”

[Harry, Mr. Weasley, though he works for the Ministry of Magic, is not a good department to talk to.] ]

Opal said casually, [The Ministry of Magic will embarrass everyone if it comes to the door, and Harry doesn't want to trouble Headmaster Dumbledore, right?] ]

"That's right...... However, it seems that Ron's prejudice against Slytherin is difficult to eliminate......"

Spreading his hand, Harry looked helpless at the mention of this, "I just vaguely told him that I was fine now, and I didn't dare to answer him if he asked me where I lived. Otherwise...... Opal: Do you think he's going to just send a rant letter? ”

[That kind of letter can't pass through the manor's protective network.] ]

Opal was confident in this, and while chatting with Harry, she was able to tease and sarcastically address someone who was a sweet-hearted person in Hogwarts in a rather written, aristocratic language - when she couldn't see that the letter was specifically designed to sidekick Harry's whereabouts?

Hmph, even if I directly admit that I kidnapped your planned "savior" and disrupted your original arrangement, could it be that you could still rush directly to my manor and bite me?!

After deciding that he would give the Hogwarts letter owl to Riddle later, Opal sealed the letter and put it aside in a good mood, and began to write the following reply.

"Speaking of which, I really didn't expect to get along so well with Draco, who was completely out of step in the past......"

Watching Opal's movements, Harry grabbed his hair with a look of nostalgia, "I really don't understand why Ron is so prejudiced against Slytherins...... Obviously, as long as you get along seriously, you can find their advantages. ”

[Don't think of us too kindly.] ]

Opal felt a little powerless at Harry's simple thoughts, [Do you think Slytherin friendship is so easy to get?] If it weren't for the fact that I'm holding it down here, Harry, to tell the truth...... I don't think you, who had turned down Draco's friendship on the Hogwarts train, would have been recognized so quickly. ]

"Huh?!"

Harry's eyes widened in astonishment as he heard the unexpected words, "Opal, you ......"

[I was entrusted by Headmaster Dumbledore to help look after you in the school as an exchange for my admission.] ]

While speaking in an unusually relaxed tone that bordered on cruel truths, Opal casually wrote a reply to Fred - I don't know why, although they are twins, Opal and Fred are obviously closer than George, although there are also twins to discuss prank goods, but there are also a lot of private messages with Fred, [Slytherin never does things that don't make sense, I think you should already know that.] ]

"But ......"

It would be a lie to say that he didn't receive a blow, but when Harry thought of the help he had received over the past two years, he finally reacted, raised his head firmly and looked at Opal, and then showed a big smile as usual, "I see, thank you for the reminder, Opal." ”

It was nothing more than a reminder that as a Gryffindor, if he maintained this kind of closeness to Slytherin during the holidays after the start of school, he would cause quite a lot of trouble, both to the people of Slytherin House and to the Gryffindors.

Although they are much more frank than Draco, Slytherin is Slytherin, and it is really common to express one's feelings awkwardly......

If it weren't for the fact that he had grown somewhat over the past few years due to various things, and the time he had spent with the Slytherin Foursome, it would have been an unnecessary misunderstanding for everyone else - but Harry also had to admit that he really didn't react to the first time he heard these words.

After seeing that Harry understood what he meant, Opal nodded in a good mood, showing his usual warm and soft smile, so that Harry, who was still not immune to it, couldn't help but blush and reopened his eyes.

Then, at this moment, a black falcon suddenly fell from the open airlight, stood in front of Opal's table, and stretched out one of its paws towards Opal, on which a bound letter box showed the purpose of its visit.

Opar, who knew who the owner of the black falcon was, almost immediately got up and gave up the reply letter he was writing, and first took out the obviously urgent letter on the black falcon's feet and read it.

And the black falcon was also very quiet, and after Ren Opal took out the letter, he turned around and flew to the shelf on the table that was specially used for birds to perch, and drank a few sips of the special mountain spring in a very Slytherin manner.

"Opal, what's wrong?"

Opar's brows tightened as he noticed that he was reading the letters, and Harry couldn't help but ask.

[It's something going on at home.] Tut...... It's damn...... I hate dealing with this kind of 10,000-year-old spirit the most. ]

Opal grunted as he put down the letter in his hand. Harry glanced curiously, only to see that it was all made up of ornate floral letters that he had never seen before, slanted to the left—not in any language he knew.

Why did Riddle write to her out of the blue, asking for the weapons used by modern Muggles?

You must know that it is difficult to get this kind of controlled firearms if you go through normal channels, but fortunately, some time ago, Senior Sister Qianwei threw a certain property in Italy to her to take care of, otherwise it would be really difficult to meet Riddle's request.

If only some firearms and weapons are needed, the Gabrine family should be able to provide them, and there shouldn't be any problems in exchanging them for healing potions - but then again, Sena-san Qianwei wouldn't have gone to such lengths to stuff things into her hands because she had foreseen this, right?!

Merely...... Considering the alliance between the Gabrine family and the Penglie family, making such a deal would definitely not avoid the possibility that she would have to meet directly with Penglie's nine generations. Although the current young leader Dino Gabrione, who has just inherited the Gabrigne family, is relatively easy to fool, he is the ninth generation of Penglie......

The thought of haggling with that kind of old fox with a kind skin made Opal reflexively feel a stomachache.

Forget it, for Riddle's sake. She endures!

"Huh?!"

Harry, as for him, didn't understand it at all.

[It's a family matter, and although it's a little tricky, it's not very difficult to deal with, it's just a bit of a waste of time.] ]

Smiling at Harry, who looked worried, Opal put down the letter back to Fred for the time being, and began to deal with the task that Riddle had assigned to her.

Speaking of which, it's been a long time since she'd lived in Cappadocia Manor, and she hadn't seen Riddle. I don't know what Riddle has been busy with lately, and he won't even go back to the secret realm of the lake.

“…… Opal ......"

As Opal struggled as she wrote, Harry's voice pulled her mind back.

[What's wrong?] ]

Raising his head in some confusion, he found that Harry looked completely speechless, and after raising his eyebrows with a little curiosity, he realized that Harry had an extra copy of the Daily Prophet in his hand.

As for what Harry was struggling with, it didn't take much thought to guess.

So Opal couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: [Do you want to know about your godfather?] ]

"Uh-huh!"

A black-haired, blue-eyed child immediately nodded wildly.

[Why did you choose to ask me, aren't you afraid that I will tell you some wrong information?] ]

Putting down the quill in his hand for a while, Opal looked at Harry with his hands crossed under his chin, [Do you trust me so much?] ]

"Huh? Yes...... Uh......"

When Opal asked this, Harry immediately opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. So in the next moment, his face had turned a blush comparable to that of the Weasleys' hair.

At this time, it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with Opal and put down his work, and the black falcon jumped on Opal's table, and its black wings directly slapped her hand, as if it was urging.

[Okay, okay, I see...... Really, can you make it a little easier? ]

Although he was so urged by a messenger bird, Opal's temper was as good as ever, and he didn't care about the red mark on the back of his hand that was fanned by the wings, but raised his hand to help the slightly less good-tempered black falcon smooth its feathers, and then continued to bury his head in the letter he was about to write.

Harry also saw that Opal had more important matters to deal with, so he simply continued to hold the Daily Prophet, patiently reading the newspaper while waiting for Opal to finish processing.

Although Opal repeatedly told him that he couldn't trust her completely, and even played Slytherin wordplay with him that would completely stun him, he always had a firm instinct that Opal wouldn't hurt him.

It was precisely because of this inexplicable intuition that Harry was able to dig out the real advice and consolation for himself from the layers of aristocratic awkward words.

At this point, Opal quickly wrote three letters, two of which were sealed directly with the ring on his finger and placed aside as expedited file binding. The other one was very simple and sealed, and then put it in the letterbox on the black falcon's leg: [Then please reply, thank you.] ]

The Black Falcon gave Opal a fixed look, then gently pecked at her silver-white hair before getting up and flying out of the room. Opal, on the other hand, looked at the back of the black falcon with all kinds of envy and jealousy - this black falcon was specially used by Riddle to communicate with her, but the problem was that she hadn't seen Riddle for a long time, unlike this black falcon that could still follow Riddle.

"Opal, are things done?"

For a moment, Harry thought he was mistaken - how could Opal look at the back of the black falcon as it left, gritting his teeth and looking like he wanted to stew the other for lunch?

[Ah yes...... This is something that needs to be expedited. ]

Alerted by Harry's voice, Opal came back to his senses almost instantly and looked back at Harry, [Do you still want to know about Siris Black, even though you may get the wrong answer from me?] ]

"The more 'facts' you know, the closer you get to the truth."

Harry replied firmly.

[But it is also possible to be misled by false facts and move further and further away from the truth.] ]

"That's better than doing nothing and waiting passively."

After Harry said this, Opal stared at him fixedly for a long time, but Harry didn't look away this time, his emerald eyes were full of determination.

[Oh well......]

After discovering that Harry seemed to be growing up in a way that she didn't expect, Opal narrowed his eyes approvingly, [I can only tell you a few things that we investigated, as for how to judge, that's Harry's own business. ]

It seems that after two years of growth, the famous golden boy has become more mature, so that he will not be led by Dumbledore's 10,000-year-old fox in the future, and choose self-sacrifice, right?

Glancing at the corner of Harry's forehead, and the lightning-like scar he'd been hiding with makeup, forehead hair, or some trinkets, Opal sighed inwardly.

For some reason, sometimes she felt that Harry always had the illusion of looking at her own mirror image - obviously it was not at all like her own in appearance or personality - and she could feel that there was a very familiar fluctuation of power belonging to Riddle hidden in Harry's lightning scar, but now Harry was completely unable to mobilize this power.

And now, after Harry learned to think for himself, he no longer listened to Dumbledore.

Harry Potter, the surviving boy and the immortal savior, is destined to be a "fierce rival" to Voldemort - I had heard Riddle mention it when he was about that prophecy, but if he tried so hard, the results should be better...... Right?
