She sat despondently on the bench, gazing blankly ahead, muttering to herself, "My money... my money..."
Harry knew she was upset about the money.
Even if it was less than four British pounds, Vivi cherished it greatly because she had truly grown up in poverty.
"I really like this style, Vivi," Harry said softly, "But don't worry, hasn't Mr. Leme moved to live near Hogwarts? Maybe we can ask for his help to modify this electronic watch so it can be used inside Hogwarts?"
"You're right!" Vivi regained her spirit, "Yes, there's Mr. Leme... I think he, as a legendary Alchemist, will definitely have a way to help us transform this electronic watch!"
Hermione opened her mouth, she actually wanted to say that something costing a few pounds wasn't really worth bothering Mr. Leme.
But she wasn't lacking in emotional intelligence, knowing that saying such things wasn't appropriate.
The Granger family's financial situation is pretty good. Ignoring that Mr. Granger himself has an extremely keen financial instinct, being a dentist in itself is a high-income profession.
Moreover, the Granger family runs a clinic, which makes far more than a regular dentist.
It's no exaggeration to say that the Granger family is among the top tier even within the middle class.
Plus, the Granger family only has Hermione as a daughter, and Mr. Granger spoils this only daughter endlessly.
So something like a few pounds is actually asking a legendary Alchemist for help, which resembles using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
Truly a bit of overkill.
The revitalized Vivi beckoned Harry to follow her.
Harry followed her all the way to an abandoned classroom on the second floor.
Vivi turned around, faced Harry, and spread her arms.
However, just as she was about to hug Harry, Vivi suddenly sniffed.
She smelled another woman's scent!
Vivi instantly became alert and looked at Harry.
"What's that scent on you?"
Harry didn't react, sniffed his clothes, and said with confusion, "No scent, I don't smell anything..."
"No, it's not right." Vivi stared at Harry, "This scent is very familiar, I've smelled it somewhere before..."
As she spoke, she was quickly searching in her mind the girls she recently met.
Miss Fari?
No, not her. Miss Fari's fragrance is distinctly different from this scent, hers is much softer.
Hermione?
That's even more impossible, Vivi almost immediately ruled out Hermione as an option.
No, it's not right, this scent...
Vivi suddenly thought of an old acquaintance.
No way!
Wasn't she trapped in some Secret Chamber? Why does Harry have her scent?!
"Is it Cassandra?" Vivi looked calmly at Harry, "Did she successfully escape?"
With Vivi saying this, Harry finally remembered he's still wearing Cassandra's robe.
"Oh, you're misunderstanding, Vivi."
Harry scratched his head and said, "I found Cassandra's deposit slip from a notebook and went to Gringotts... Look, the clothes I'm wearing are a gift from Cassandra."
Vivi: (ꐦಠಠ)?!
She was utterly shocked that Cassandra, whose situation was life or death, suddenly popped up to send a Valentine's gift before her!
No,
Notebook?
"Notebook?" Vivi asked softly, "Do you mean... Cassandra's notebook?"
"Yes, it got torn." Harry casually said without intending to mention Jack.
Vivi's expression became subtly sophisticated, and she turned her eyes toward Gellert's tent.
Far in the tent, Gellert playing with the Sniff suddenly sneezed twice.
He instinctively tightened his clothes, feeling something was off.
Clearly, the tent was warm as spring, why did it feel cold?
Vivi in the abandoned classroom on the second floor decided that she would definitely teach Gellert a lesson later, for his itchy fingers to keep tearing other people's notebooks.
Ha, now the woman is provoked out?
She simply remembered the "Parrot" the twin brothers mentioned and thought this "Parrot" referred to Gellert.
Vivi hadn't even considered that this "Parrot" might be an actual parrot...
However...
Vivi decided the little Harry in front of her needed a taste of lesson too.
"Harry," Vivi intoned, "Cassandra never told you not to wear her clothes when with other women?"
Harry recollected the armor incident and said to Vivi, "Do you remember the time we were at the Merlin Ruins trial together? That time I gave you the cloak to wear, and when we returned, Cassandra was very upset, even made me take off the robe..."
Vivi was a bit stunned for a few seconds.
She truly hadn't expected Cassandra to do something so childish.
"Then what do you think should be done now?" she asked from above.
Harry thought about having to replenish magic power later and said to Vivi, "Alright, how about I take off the clothes now?"
"No."
Vivi pulled Harry over and forcibly locked him in an embrace.
"This is just fine," she whispered softly in Harry's ear, "We must let Cassandra have some sense of involvement, right?"
"No, this isn't right."
