HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 287 French Rumors

Seeing Harry's disappointed look, Gloria said, "No matter what, it is true that the owner of this book is excellent and has given you a lot of help. As long as you know how to use it properly and learn the formulas and steps of these potions by heart, they will all become your knowledge."

Hermione seemed to be thinking about something, but she said nothing.

Harry said, "I know."

"I have memorized all those spells. I will probably need them in the future." Gloria said, "Draco is very smart. As long as I cast a spell once, he will learn it."

"I didn't invent this spell." Harry showed no dissatisfaction. "I hope we won't use these spells against each other in the future."

'But...' Hermione hesitated, "These are all curses."

Gloria consoled him, "The situation is so dangerous now, it's a good thing to use a spell to protect yourself."

Hearing this, Hermione no longer objected.

The three of them parted ways quickly. They would leave for the holiday tomorrow and need to have a good night's rest.

Just as Gloria said, Draco had learned all the spells except the Shadowless Spell before curfew, and had successfully used them on people.

The next day the students boarded the train home.

Draco didn't eat much for lunch, and he was hungry in the afternoon, so he simply got up and went to the dining car to buy some snacks.

Gloria was with him. When they passed other carriages, they saw Hermione sitting with Ginny, laughing and chatting. Maybe because Krum was going to her house for Christmas, Hermione was in good spirits.

Going further ahead, I saw Ron's girlfriend Lavender. The girl with two braids was leaning on the door of the box, breathing, drawing a heart, and writing the initials of her and Ron's names.

Draco frowned the whole time and couldn't bear to watch, and Gloria clenched her palms to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

After drawing these, Lavender clasped her hands together, looked at Ron in the box affectionately, and whispered, "Love you."

After saying that, she ran away shyly.

Harry and Ron were in the box, but before they could finish feeling awkward, they saw Gloria and Draco appear at the door of the box, staring at the words on the glass with a half-smile.

Gloria saw Harry pulling at the handle of the seat in a panic, and Ron with an awkward smile on his face, and saw that the smiles on their faces disappeared completely.

She opened the door to the box, looked at Harry and asked, "Are you going to the Burrow or Sirius's for Christmas?"

Harry replied immediately: "The Burrow."

Gloria nodded, "Then I might have to go to the Burrow for dinner."

Harry is at the Burrow, and Sirius and the others must be having dinner there.

Ron sat up straight, "I'll tell Mom."

Gloria said, "I'll let you know when I go."

Draco suddenly asked Ron: "Do you need help wiping the words off the glass?"

There was a hint of mockery in his words.

Ron gritted his teeth and said, "No—no—"

Draco smiled brightly, took Gloria to find the dining car, and closed the door of the box.

·

During the Christmas holidays, Gloria would sometimes look out the door. Perhaps Grindelwald was there with a group of wizards, admiring the beauty of the new world.

What she didn't expect was that Conrad would come to the manor at this time.

"The Ministry of Magic should be very busy."

She poured herself a glass of water and drank it slowly.

Conrad looked a little haggard, but that was not surprising, after all, almost everyone in the Ministry of Magic was very busy this year.

"I know you're going back to the manor for the holidays, so I took the time to come here."

Gloria leaned against the desk and asked, "What's the matter that makes you come here so urgently?"

Hogwarts can give teachers and students a holiday, but the Ministry of Magic does not have such preferential treatment this year.

"I'm not anxious..." Conrad lowered his head and whispered, "I'm just curious about something."

Gloria calmly held the cup and said, "Tell me what you are curious about."

"The French Ministry of Magic did get some news. Privately, the French wizarding community spread a message." Conrad said slowly: "When Grindelwald gathered, he said that he could lead wizards to the New World. That is a world that belongs only to wizards. There are only magical creatures in the New World."

It means a world without Muggles.

Conrad looked at Gloria and saw that she had no particular reaction. He continued, "Some wizards said that they had witnessed the magic of the new world with their own eyes."

At this point he hesitated to speak.

Gloria put the cup down casually and said, "Go on."

Conrad thought for a moment and said, "You mentioned the location of the manor to me before..."

He didn't continue talking, as he didn't think much about it at the time. But when he heard about the so-called new world from France, this was the first place he thought of.

Slytherin Manor, is it in the new world?

Even Grindelwald was released, which was...

Gloria said in a very calm tone: "It seems that you already have the answer in your heart."

There is no direct answer, but it can be regarded as an indirect acknowledgement.

Conrad continued to remain silent. He was so powerful that he could delay the magic triggering of Nurmengard Prison and take people away safely. Few people in the entire wizarding world could do that.

Gloria fought Voldemort twice without any harm, which shows that she has such strength.

Combined with the things happening in the new world, several clues can be basically confirmed when put together.

At this moment he finally asked in an uncertain tone, "Is this the new world?"

Gloria turned her head and looked out the window. "Isn't it beautiful?"

Conrad was stunned for a moment and said, "Well, it's beautiful. There are no Muggles, no tall buildings, and no need to worry about the Ministry of Magic's confidentiality agreement."

This world truly belongs to wizards.

"It's a wonderful feeling," Gloria said, "so don't worry about following me and getting involved in another war."

Dark wizards have always wanted to break the confidentiality agreement and rule over Muggles, but time flies, Muggles have more powerful weapons, and their numbers overwhelm wizards. Even if they are individually powerful, there are too many Muggles, and those weapons are indeed terrifying.

In the previous two world wars, many wizards were affected.

"It's a pity that the number of wizards is too small compared to Muggles." Gloria sighed, "I hope the number can increase in the future."

Conrad said, "So you always ask us to do our best to protect every wizard we see."

"Voldemort's persecution of innocent wizards is too stupid." Gloria said: "If this kind of rule succeeds, we don't even need Muggles to discover wizards, we will be in danger."

"But..." Conrad said in a worried tone, "I can associate everything in the New World with you, so people who have been to the manor may be able to guess it one by one."

Gloria asked, "Is there any evidence?"

Conrad was confused.

"Is there any evidence that the location of Slytherin Manor is the New World?" Gloria was not worried at all. "Besides, they didn't hear what Grindelwald said with their own ears. It was just news from unknown channels."

Conrad was silent for a moment before he spoke: "We will not mention this connection."

The "we" he mentioned was naturally the spies in the Ministry of Magic.

Gloria just nodded. Others might not be able to think of it for a while, but Headmaster Dumbledore was not stupid. He had already discovered the magical location of the manor.

Fortunately, he was cursed and had limited energy, so it was not appropriate for him to talk to her about this at this time.
