Became good friends with the Boy Who Lived

Chapter 139 Farewell

"Looks like we have to say goodbye, Harry!" Aris said helplessly, letting go of Dudley, almost letting Dudley push Harry to the ground.

“Don’t… don’t go…” Harry held Dudley with difficulty and said through gritted teeth, “Don’t… don’t abandon me again… Aeris… please… you…”

"Don't worry, Harry," said Aries. "Professor Dumbledore will definitely make some arrangements. We will definitely meet again in four or five days at most, and you will leave here. Please believe Professor Dumbledore. He has done the best he can."

"Excuse me, Mrs. Figg!" Aris said finally. "Let's go, Drago!"

Draco also patted Harry's shoulder, said a few words of comfort, and then left with Aeris.

"Do you think it was him, Aeris," Draco whispered on the taxi ride back home, "the one who sent the Dementors... to kill Potter?"

"Not necessarily," Aris groaned and answered in a low voice, "This is more like a conspiracy, a conspiracy that got out of control. Someone in the Ministry of Magic wanted to frame Harry, so they sent out one or two Dementors... no more than ten at most, but the Dementors got out of control. How much obedience can you expect from these monsters that act only on instinct?"

"So, the Ministry of Magic just wants to find an excuse to expel Potter?" Draco asked puzzled.

"I think so," Aris said solemnly, "Harry told Professor Dumbledore the news of Voldemort's return. Although I was also a witness, the halo around Harry was too dazzling. It was easy for them to ignore the grandson of the Dark Lord, but they could not ignore the boy who survived. They wanted to cut off the truth they were eager to deny from the root, and even used Harry to threaten Professor Dumbledore."

When Aeris and Draco returned to the Greene family's house, an old man who looked both strange and familiar walked towards them.

"Grandpa?" Aeris said incredulously.

Draco looked at Aeris without hesitation, then he thought of something and was so scared that he almost sat on the ground. "The first...the first...the first...Dark Lord..." Draco stuttered.

The person who came was an old man who had changed his clothes and looked energetic: Geralt Grindelwald.

Garlot took off his exquisite black hat, smiled gently and said, "Don't make such a fuss, children. I was invited by Albus to spend my later years in London. In order to prevent the Death Eaters from causing trouble for your adoptive parents...Eris...I will also shoulder the responsibility of protecting them. I bought a house not far away. You can come and sit down when you have time. Do you mind introducing me to your adoptive parents? Eris!"

"Of course," Aeris said with a smile, and rang the doorbell of Greene's house.

It was Ariana who opened the door. "You're back, Draco," Ariana said happily, and then rolled her eyes at Aries, which made Aries' smile freeze on his face. Ariana finally looked at Geralt.

Garlot was also looking at Ariana, his eyes were complicated, with surprise, regret, and reminiscence...

"My name is: Gehlot," Gehlot said, "Can you tell me your name, little girl?"

"Hello, Gale..." The word... Gale... made Gerlot a little distracted. Ariana continued, "My name is: Ariana Greene."

"Nice to meet you, Ariana," Gerlot said gently, smiling.

"Well, Ariana," Aerys said, "you plan to have our guest stand outside the door?"

Ariana glared at Eris, took Geralt's big hand with her small hand, and walked into the house.

Draco's expression was a little stiff. Aeris patted Draco's shoulder with a half-smile. "Don't be jealous all the time," Aeris said. "Don't tell me you can't feel Ariana's feelings for you."

Draco smiled with relief and followed Aeris into the hall.

"Any visitors?" Jim came over and said, "You're back, Aris! Who is this?"

"Oh! Father, let me introduce you. This is my biological grandfather, Gerlot," Aris said somewhat unnaturally. "Grandpa, this is my adoptive father: Jim Greene."

Jim, a social terrorist, was a little stunned at the moment. It was still Gallot who stepped forward and shook hands with Jim. "You have taken good care of my grandson," Gallot said gently, "Please accept my most sincere gratitude!"

Ariana threw herself into Aires' arms. Aires looked at Ariana in confusion, only to see that Ariana's face was pale and her eyes were a little red. Noticing Ariana's appearance, Draco was a little at a loss.

With a "crack", Selina, who followed over, dropped the plate in her hand to the ground and broke into pieces.

The atmosphere here was a little subtle for a moment.

"Please don't misunderstand me," said Gerlot. "I am just an old man who is about to die. I have been living abroad before. My return will not make Aries leave you. I bought a house nearby. I am just going back to London to spend my old age. If you don't mind, after Aries' school holidays, you can allow him to visit me from time to time."

The atmosphere suddenly eased a lot. Selina embarrassedly picked up the broken plates on the ground, Ariana hit Aris' chest in annoyance, and Jim also showed his strength as a social terrorist.

After a while, Jim and Garlot were talking and laughing. Jim also invited Garlot to move to Greene's house and live with them. After Garlot declined, Jim invited Garlot to have dinner with him.

After dinner, the family was happily enjoying dessert when the doorbell rang. Aries opened the door and saw Professor Dumbledore with a serious expression.

Professor Dumbledore was invited into the hall and then to the kitchen. Apart from the initial greeting, he said nothing and seemed to be thinking about something.

"You're here, Albus!" said Garlot. "I've left you some lemon sherbet..."

"Thank you, Geralt," said Professor Dumbledore. "Jim, I'm sorry. Aris's summer vacation is going to end early. I need him to give remedial lessons to one of his classmates. I know you only have one and a half months to spend together each year, so... I'm really sorry..."

"It's okay... Albus..." Jim looked at Aris reluctantly, then said, "When will Aris leave?"

"This evening..." said Professor Dumbledore.
