Chapter 95 — Seventh Diary Entry

June 30, 2024

”Mr. Harry Potter came to visit me today.

”I was surprised because he rarely comes here. Or rather, we usually only meet at the cemetery. I never expected him to come to my home.

”I asked him to sit down and asked why he had come this time.

”Mr. Harry Potter gave me a small stone. He said it was a gift from Mr. Nicolas Flamel, and that it could also be considered a keepsake.

”I was stunned. The old man had already...”

”Mr. Harry Potter told me that Mr. Nicolas Flamel and his wife had embarked on the same journey and passed away together.

”I can’t describe how I felt. So many people have died in recent years. Why does my chest still feel so tight?”

”Mr. Harry Potter and I remained silent for a while.

”I thought he was going to leave, but he didn’t. He continued sitting there, as though he wanted to talk to me.

”I welcomed him. After all, there were many things I wanted to know. I even had many questions for him.

”Previously, I was simply worried that he would become impatient with me, a Muggle who was always asking questions, so I tried not to bother him.

”Now that he had taken the initiative to talk to me, of course I would listen carefully.

”Mr. Harry Potter told me that he planned to resign from his position as Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

”He wanted to travel for a while. If I ever wanted to find him, I could write to him.

”He also gave me an owl.

”The owl was beautiful. I hugged it in surprise and decided to name it Milan.

”Mr. Harry Potter saw how much I liked Milan, and a smile appeared on his lips.

”He is usually very serious. You can tell just by looking at him. He always keeps a straight face and looks like a very old-fashioned person.

”But I still remember the big boy who used to make funny faces in front of Vesey just to make her laugh.

”After Vesey died, he could no longer truly smile.

”I saw that he seemed to be in a good mood today, so I cautiously asked him how Vesey’s former friends were doing.

”He told me that everyone was doing well.

”For example, the Weasley brothers had opened a joke shop and had even taken the entire wizarding world by storm.

”He also told me that Cassandra had already become the head of the Woley family.

”I knew about that, but he told me something else.

”He said that the Woley family had also played a part in Vesey’s death.

”After Cassandra became the head of the family, the first thing she did was turn against her own family. As a result, she was heavily criticized by them.

”My heart suddenly sank.

”I couldn’t understand why the Woley family had contributed to Vesey’s death. I didn’t think Vesey’s survival had anything to do with them.

”Harry tried to smile at me, but he couldn’t.

”He told me miserably that the Woley family had opposed Cassandra being with the Savior’s sister.

”They believed Vesey’s bloodline was impure, that she was destined to die young, and that Vesey had indirectly caused the deaths of many nobles during the summer after her first year, including a child of the Woley family.

”Harry also told me that Vesey knew about all of this.

”She even knew that those families had poisoned her.

”Harry told me, his voice trembling, that those families had already poisoned Vesey while she was still at school.

”They simply hadn’t known about it at the time. He had only discovered the truth by following the clues.

”The saddest part was that, as Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, he had no way to arrest all those families.

”Those clues weren’t evidence.

”His own suspicions, without evidence, were useless.

”He decided to resign because he was frustrated.

”But something about him still felt wrong to me. I felt deeply uneasy.

”I told him, ’Don’t do anything unnecessary. Vesey only wants you, her brother, to live well.’

”Mr. Harry Potter didn’t answer.

”But his eyes became slightly red.

”There was another moment of silence.

”Then he told me that he had lost many relatives.

”His parents.

”His sister.

”His respected elders.

”His friends.

”He said that Ronald Weasley had been killed during an operation carried out by the Ministry of Magic.

”He had lost his last good friend.

”Sadly, he now only had me, a Muggle friend.

”I asked him whether he still had an aunt and uncle. He seemed to have a cousin as well.

”Vesey had told them about the Dursleys and had even given them gifts several times.

”Harry shook his head.

”He said that three years ago, a Death Eater who had been imprisoned in Azkaban escaped and found the Dursleys...

”He didn’t say anything more, but I already understood.

”I looked at him with pity.

”This man must have been heartbroken.

”He shook his head and remained surprisingly calm.

”He said that he had already avenged the Dursleys.

”The Death Eater had died in his own village after Harry used multiple Cruciatus Curses and Killing Curses against him.

”I stood up in shock and stared at him speechlessly.

”I remembered Vesey telling me that she and Harry were both soft-hearted people.

”They couldn’t use the Cruciatus Curse or the Killing Curse.

”Killing someone wasn’t that easy.

”The Unforgivable Curses were like a Muggle holding a gun. Ordinary people simply couldn’t pull the trigger.

”Vesey had told me that Harry hadn’t even used the Killing Curse during the final battle.

”Yet now he had actually used both the Cruciatus Curse and the Killing Curse?

”Harry Potter laughed when he saw my expression.

”He waved his hand and told me that using the Cruciatus Curse and the Killing Curse was compulsory training for Aurors.

”How could someone who had grown so arrogant still be afraid to kill?

”He was lying!

”When Vesey was still alive, he had never used the Cruciatus Curse or the Killing Curse.

”They weren’t compulsory courses at all.

”Not even close.

”I suddenly asked him loudly to show me his Patronus.

”He stared at me for a long time.

”The smile on his face gradually twisted into something restrained and painful.

”I knew then.

”He no longer had a Patronus.

”His soul was no longer pure.

”How had he allowed himself to become like this?

”I looked at him sadly.

”I thought about how devastated Vesey would be if she knew.

”She had always admired and loved her brother.

”How could she possibly want him to become like this?

”But what choice did I have?

”What could I do?

”He needed revenge.

”How could he possibly allow those people to continue living freely?

”Why were they still alive when Vesey was dead?

”Why were they allowed to remain alive in Azkaban when his relatives and friends were dead?

”Why were they still alive?”

”I watched him roar through his sobs until his voice became hoarse and broken.

”Finally, Harry Potter told me that some debts had to be repaid with blood.

”He would never let those people go.

”I watched his back as he strode away.

”I collapsed to the ground and remained there for a long time, unable to recover.

”Vesey once told me that what Dumbledore wanted most was peace.

”That was why Dumbledore had always been suspicious of her.

”And then Dumbledore killed her.

”After that, his Savior became a murderer.

”What a fucking peace.”
