Struggling to survive at Hogwarts

Chapter 118 Honesty

Thea had intended to observe the other party further to confirm her suspicions, but she never expected that the other party would stop her directly after the banquet!

Seeing the girl's somewhat incoherent invitation due to her excitement, Thea, after determining that the other party indeed had no malicious intent, gestured to Draco and the others, and then led the girl into a private room in the Slytherin common room.

This is where Thea and Draco usually meet. To ensure that no one else can hear their conversation, Thea also cast a few silencing spells.

"Speak, what do you want from me?"

Thea sat in the head seat with an air of authority, looking down at the nervous girl in front of her, making the wooden chair feel like a throne!

"...Let me introduce myself, I come from the wizarding world of 2065!"

Even though she had guessed the other person's origins, Thea was still taken aback by what the other person said.

Seeing that Thea looked "calm," Gella's once sure plan became somewhat uncertain.

But since things had come to this, Gella could only bite the bullet and say what she had prepared beforehand, "I'm from another time! By the way, you know what time travel is, right? It's like..."

Thea interrupted Gellar's explanation, "Get to the point! For example, why did you tell me all this?"

The girl squinted, and the assessment and contemplation in her eyes terrified Gella.

Thea waited a long time for Gella to speak, then said to herself, "Judging from your behavior, the wizarding world must be very peaceful, otherwise why would you rush up to me so recklessly?"

"You claim to have traveled from the future, so why are you looking for me?"

Thea put away her thoughtful expression, her bright eyes sparkling with interest. "Perhaps I can make a bold guess, like I possess something you need, or maybe we'll have some kind of connection in the future?"

Gella was speechless. Various reasons to conceal his true purpose quickly flashed through his mind, but when he looked at the living person in front of him, he couldn't utter a single lie.

It was only then that Gellar truly understood that the person before him was not just a series of emotionless words, but a great man who had forged a glorious legacy with the magic wand in his hand!

Gella smiled bitterly to herself, then quickly suppressed any thoughts of hiding the truth and said in a dry voice,

Would you be interested in hearing my story?

"Of course, I've been curious about this for a long time!"

Next, the lonely soul told Thea a story that ended in tragedy.

If you had the chance to travel through time, would you want to go back to the wizarding world of the 1990s?

Suddenly, a post appeared on the forum. The original poster seemed to have just posted it casually, but the number of replies reached hundreds of thousands!

Keep in mind that the entire wizarding world only has a population of about one million.

Gella was also drawn in by the buzz and clicked on it with great interest.

The first comment I noticed was the one with the most likes:

"I don't want to time travel, because for me, time travel means completely abandoning everything I have now, including my family, friends, lover, and so on."

At the same time, I don't believe that with our current strength, if we were to travel back to the 1990s, we could survive that turbulent period safely..."

The reply was quite long, so Gella scrolled straight to the bottom to read the bold text: "Not all parallel worlds follow the same trajectory as our current history. People like Miss Blake are one in a hundred years."

Gella wasn't surprised that the other person mentioned Miss Blake. In fact, since the post went viral, Miss Blake's name has once again become a hot topic on all social media platforms!

When scientists discovered the existence of parallel universes a few years ago, the name Dorothea Black instantly surpassed all the famous historical figures, becoming the number one historical icon, leaving a huge gap between her and the second place!

It was then that the wizarding world truly realized how fortunate it would be to have Miss Black!

It was only then that Gella realized that the few lines in the textbook contained the remarkable achievements of that great man that have gone down in history!

Gella scrolled up again, read the entire post carefully, and then casually gave it a like. After that, she came here.

"That's all? Just a like?"

Thea was full of surprise, but she didn't think the other person was lying to her.

Gella smiled wryly, "It is indeed very simple. Where I'm from, anyone who can read knows that you once..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Thea waved her hand, indicating that the other person didn't need to continue. "I don't want to know about my future. The future is the future. Focusing on the present is what I need to do."

"Don't you want to know your specific achievements in the future?" Gella's tone couldn't hide her astonishment.

“I don’t want to,” Thea said firmly, then added seriously, “You’ve said so much, but you still haven’t told me why you’re trying to drag me into this.”

"Drag you down?"

Gella was completely baffled.

"Yes, anyone with eyes can see that your attitude towards me is quite special. And think about it, a little wizard who transferred from France,"

Thea pointed at the other person, then at herself, "And with my identity as the suspected daughter of the Dark Lord, do you think others won't become suspicious?"

"Huh?" Gella finally realized what was happening, then looked apologetic. "Did I do something wrong?"

"Alright, stop acting. I don't believe you didn't consider the consequences beforehand!"

Thea scoffed and impatiently urged, "Speak, what's your purpose in telling me all this?"

Gella also put away her apologetic expression and said solemnly, "I want you to help me find my way back. I want to go back to where I belong!"

"go back?"

“Yes, I want to go home,” Gella said firmly, a hint of pain flashing in her eyes. “This place doesn’t belong to me. I left all my family and friends behind and came to this strange world for no reason. Apart from a few words in the textbooks, I know nothing about this world!”

At this point, the girl's bewilderment and unease immediately transformed into trust when she saw Thea, which made Thea freeze in place.

"If there's anyone in this world who can help me, I believe that person is you!"

The trust in Gella's tone felt like a sharp knife piercing Thea's heart. Amidst the intense pain, Thea heard her own calm voice:

"...If I help you, what kind of reward will you pay me?"

"...I will help you, I will do everything in my power to help you!"

In the quiet private room, the girl's voice was firm and resolute, like a gambler who had thrown all his chips onto the table, waiting for his last chance.

"Then, as you wish, miss."
