Harry had long been immune to Cassandra’s sarcastic remarks. He could now let them roll off his back completely, no matter what Cassandra said.

He stepped forward and gently pushed open the large door.

In the room behind the door was a crystal bed, on which lay Annie Saru, dressed in a Slytherin Robe.

Her face was calm, and she had fallen into a deep sleep, unaware of the outside world.

"Annie?" Vivi stepped forward, crouched beside Annie, and reached out to touch her hand, intending to check her condition.

After a while, she stood up and turned to Harry, saying, "Annie’s condition is relatively good. I should say, Omnius’s secret technique is quite effective. Look... at least she’s sleeping peacefully."

Yes, quite peacefully, not even knowing someone has entered.

Harry commented inwardly, then asked aloud, "What should we do? Just wake her up directly? Or should I first use a Dispel Curse on her?"

"Hmm..." Vivi thought for a moment before saying to Harry, "Let’s wake her up first... I see, just take away the crystal pendant Annie is holding, and she can be awakened from her sleep."

Harry stepped forward as directed, reaching for the green snake-shaped pendant in Annie’s hand.

However, after pulling it once or twice, the pendant didn’t budge, almost as if it were welded to Annie’s hand.

He hesitated pulling further and turned back, saying, "It won’t move."

Cassandra approached and somehow pressed a spot on Annie’s hand, causing her tightly held hands to loosen.

The pendant slipped from Annie’s hand, and after a moment, Annie opened her eyes.

"Where am I?"

Annie murmured, her voice hoarse and sounding frail.

She looked up, seeing several friends concerned about her, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.

"Vivi, my throat..."

Vivi reached out and gently stroked Annie’s throat, and Annie felt a warm current soothe her.

"Uh... Vivi, Cassandra, and Pabi... have you all come back?"

Her voice hadn’t fully recovered but was no longer as hoarse as before.

"Yes," Vivi nodded, "Harry has already found a way to dispel the Black Magic Curse on you. Don’t speak for now; let him remove the curse from you first."

Saying this, Vivi stepped aside, exposing Harry standing behind her.

"Hi, Harry." Annie greeted with a smile, trying hard to endure the discomfort in her body, "It looks like you’ve found Harry, it’s truly delightful..."

"Indeed, we’ve found Harry." Cassandra emphasized the word ’found’ with a heavy accent.

What finding Harry, it was obviously Harry who found us...

Cassandra thought bitterly. In fact, it was true. She had been lying in the Secret Chamber for so many years and ultimately was saved from the grip of Death God by Harry, returning to the world of the living.

If Harry hadn’t restored her Life Force, she might have long been dead.

"Let’s dispel the curse first." Harry stepped forward and aimed his Magic Wand at Annie.

Annie closed her eyes, trusting Harry and these friends utterly, without a hint of doubt.

"Purusor (Swift Purification)!"

Instantly, a milky white light burst from the tip of Harry’s wand, illuminating the entire dim room.

Under the influence of this light, Annie’s body slowly rose into the air.

She felt the shackles and chains that bound her fate shatter in an instant.

"I..." she murmured, "I feel better than ever, everyone..."

The light disappeared, followed by a shadowy black snake figure rising from behind Annie, which dissipated under the white light.

"It should be over," Harry said, putting away his wand, and the light vanished accordingly: "If nothing unexpected happens, the Black Magic Curse on Annie should be gone now."

"How are you? Annie?" Pabi squeezed his little head between Vivi and Harry, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?"

"I feel better than ever..." Annie joyfully raised her hands, a bright expression on her delicate little face, "Thank you, Harry, and thank all of you..."

"Oh, thank you, Harry," Cassandra quipped with a sarcastic tone from the side. She always felt like Annie would come and share their moment of glory.

But actually, Harry had no such thoughts. Like Sebastian, he only saw Annie as a sister.

After all, Annie was really caring, like a warm little cotton jacket that inspired affection.

"Kathy!" Vivi chided, gently slapping Cassandra on the bottom, "No sarcasm, what are you doing!"

"Hmph." Cassandra pouted, thinking you’ll regret it later, arrogant Grindelwald!

"Since everything’s settled, let’s head out first," Pabi suggested, "Annie hasn’t eaten in a long time. Let’s return to White Island and have something to eat, shall we?"

"How is my brother?" Annie hadn’t agreed yet.

"Oh, Sebastian," Harry decided to tell a lie first, "He and Omnius are both at Hogwarts right now, but it’s too late, they are probably resting already. We’ll visit Hogwarts tomorrow, okay?"

"Well... okay." Annie hesitated, remembering a century-old memory—back then, Hogwarts was quite strict, and trespassing the campus would earn one a flogging.

At the very least, it was a flogging. In severe cases, they might even have their shoulder blade pierced and be locked underground in a dungeon.
