Chapter 97 — The Invisible Cloak of Death

After answering Professor McGonagall’s question, Vesey looked at Mrs. Weasley’s.

«Can you tell me how Ron died?»

Vesey fell silent.

She didn’t know either!

After all, she had made the whole thing up.

So she immediately ignored the question and looked at Hermione’s.

«Hello, who are Vesey’s wives?»

Vesey immediately became alert.

What did this girl mean?

What was she planning?

Was she trying to find out who his other wives were so she could curse them?

Ignore it. Ignore it!

She moved on to Cassandra’s question.

This second wife’s question was much more practical.

«What does Vesey like?»

Vesey really wanted to give her a lesson in science.

But after thinking about it, she gave up.

Right now, she represented an unknown existence—the mysterious being who had distributed the diary to these people.

Was she supposed to act like customer service and answer questions about what Vesey liked?

She abandoned the remaining questions.

Then she heard the system’s voice in her ears.

[Ding! The fourth diary entry has been completed. Evaluation begins.]

[Ding! Diary holder Dumbledore’s trust level: 95%.]

[Ding! Diary holder Snape’s trust level: 100%.]

[Ding! Diary holder McGonagall’s trust level: 100%.]

[Ding! Diary holder Voldemort’s trust level: 86%.]

[Ding! Diary holder Hermione’s trust level: 100%.]

[Ding! Diary holder Cassandra’s trust level: 95%.]

[Ding! Diary holder Nicolas Flamel’s trust level: 93%.]

[Ding! Diary holder Mrs. Weasley’s trust level: 80%.]

Another great harvest.

Dumbledore’s trust level had actually reached 95%.

It was probably because the contents of the diary had completely shaken him.

His faith had been shattered.

If Voldemort became a murderer, Dumbledore would consider it almost inevitable.

But the diary showed Harry becoming a murderer because of Dumbledore’s own actions.

Just thinking about those consequences would probably be enough to plunge Dumbledore into despair.

Everyone else’s trust had increased to some extent as well.

The only exception was Mrs. Weasley.

Only 80%.

Although that wasn’t bad, Vesey knew she could still raise it.

For example, if she wrote more about the Weasley family and arranged for Mrs. Weasley to appear again, her trust would definitely increase.

But after thinking about it, Vesey abandoned the idea.

Previously, whenever she wrote extensively about someone, that person ended up becoming a diary holder.

Dumbledore would definitely notice the pattern and realize that it was being done intentionally.

In other words, he might conclude that some unknown existence deliberately distributed the diary to the people who appeared in it.

So this time, Vesey had deliberately allowed Dumbledore to encounter the "mysterious man" first.

That created the illusion that someone else was behind everything—that the person who distributed the diary was not necessarily the one writing it.

That way, even if Dumbledore noticed who appeared in the diary or who received a diary, he wouldn’t find the pattern suspicious.

He would simply assume that the mysterious being behind everything was having fun.

[Ding! Evaluation complete. Congratulations to the host for obtaining an S-level evaluation.]

Vesey sighed.

It was understandable.

After all, Mrs. Weasley’s relatively low trust had dragged down the overall result.

[Ding! The host has obtained an S-level evaluation. A new diary holder has been randomly selected. Would the host like to draw now?]

"Yes!"

Draw it!

Vesey couldn’t be bothered to think about it any longer.

[Ding! Random selection of the next diary holder has begun.]

[Ding! Selection successful.]

[Ding! The next diary holder is Ms. Gray.]

Vesey: "??"

Vesey was stunned.

He remembered that Ms. Gray was a ghost, right?

The Ravenclaw ghost.

And Rowena Ravenclaw’s daughter.

Uh...

What could she possibly write about that would make this woman trust the diary?

Vesey felt a headache coming on.

But there was no rush.

She could wait until she had carefully studied Ms. Gray before writing the next diary entry.

Still, it was exciting to think about.

If Ms. Gray ended up liking her, perhaps Vesey could even use her to find Ravenclaw’s secret chamber?

She had heard in fanfiction that Ravenclaw had a secret chamber!

Vesey rubbed her hands together excitedly.

[Ding! Rewards have been prepared. Would the host like to receive them now?]

"Yes! Give them to me!"

Now!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining +200 charms Talent.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining +200 Magical Creature Talent.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Deathly Invisibility Cloak.]

[The cloak provides complete invisibility, absolute silence, and the ability to pass through objects.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Merlin’s Favor.]

[After equipping this ability, the host will be tested by Merlin. Merlin will create various incidents, and the host must turn danger into good fortune.]

[Each time the host passes a trial, the host’s appearance, physical fitness, magical power, talent, and other attributes will increase to varying degrees.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 500 Energy Points.]

Vesey was stunned again.

She would put the talent boosts aside for now.

As for the Deathly Invisibility Cloak, this was obviously far better than the Potter family’s Invisibility Cloak.

Then there was Merlin’s Favor.

Was this really not a protagonist’s halo?

Only protagonists seemed to constantly encounter bizarre situations and then have to survive them.

Come to think of it, with her harmless-looking appearance, wouldn’t she be able to avoid most of the deadly attacks anyway?

She was a little hesitant.

In the end, she asked the system about it.

After confirming that she would be able to survive all the trials Merlin gave her, she decisively equipped Merlin’s Favor.

Vesey put away all her rewards.

At that moment, the bell signaling the end of the examination rang.

She followed the others and handed in her paper.

"That was much easier than I expected!"

Harry walked out with them and said happily.

Hermione nodded.

"It really was. I didn’t even need to memorize the entire 1637 Werewolf Code, and..."

She continued talking.

It was difficult to tell whether she was actually discussing the exam or simply showing off how much she had studied.

They walked toward the lake.

When they finally reached the tree beside the water, Hermione’s voice at last fell silent.

She pulled Vesey down beside her, and the two sat beneath the tree, enjoying the warm sunlight.

"How wonderful. I don’t have to revise anymore!"

Ron saw Hermione and Vesey sitting down and lay down nearby as well.

But just as he was about to lie down beside Vesey, Harry pushed him away.

"Don’t get too close to Vesey. She needs to rest!"

Harry said this before lying down beside his sister.

Ron stared at him for a moment with open contempt.

But then he smiled again.

"All right, Harry. Cheer up. We’ve finally finished the exams. We’ll know how we did in a week. There’s no point being nervous now."

He assumed Harry was insisting on staying close to Vesey because he was under too much pressure.

Harry sighed.

He actually did feel somewhat uncomfortable.

He covered his scar and said,

"I really don’t know what this means. What does it mean? My scar has been hurting a lot lately, and I’ve been having nightmares every night.

"Could I really just be too nervous?"
