Harry picked up his Magic Wand and used a Transformation Spell to change a nearby chair into a bed, placing Annie on it.

It took quite a while before Annie gradually regained consciousness.

Upon seeing her brother who had turned into a Ghost, she hiccupped.

Harry: Huh?

"Sebastian!"

Annie burst into tears, reaching out to hug her brother, only to find that they were already separated by life and death.

"Don’t cry, Annie." Sebastian placed his transparent hand on Annie’s head and gently ruffled her hair, "At least we can still see each other—aah, you’re still the same as back then, still that cute little girl."

"But, but..." Annie hiccupped with tears, "You’ve turned into this... What on earth happened? Why did you become a Ghost?"

"Oh, Annie." Sebastian said with a chuckle, "That’s an abso-bloody-lutely long story, and I suppose you wouldn’t want to hear it. Besides, I don’t feel like talking about sad things with you."

"Of course." He turned back and waved at Omnius in the picture, "Omnius is here too, you can say hello to him."

Only then did Annie notice Omnius in the picture, who was waving at her.

She felt the world spinning and fainted once again.

"What’s wrong with her?" Pabi asked curiously, "Is she physically weak from just waking up from the seal?"

"No." Vivi shook her head and said, "It’s a self-protection mechanism of the human body... She is so saddened that it triggered her body’s defense mechanism to prevent any harmful impact due to extreme sorrow."

"What can we do about it?" Cassandra glanced at the unconscious Annie, "We can’t just let her stay fainted like this, right? She will have to face these things eventually."

"She will have to accept it, that’s all." Harry reached out and patted Annie on her cheek, "Hey, Annie, wake up—"

"Harry!" Sebastian was anxious, "You bastard! How can you treat Annie like this? Take your hand away! You heartless scoundrel! I don’t allow you to touch Annie!"

"What’s the matter, guys?" Harry looked up, "I just wanted to wake her, why are you so startled?"

At that moment, Annie gradually regained consciousness again.

"Stop fighting!" Annie cried softly, "I’m sorry, brother... and Omnius..."

"Alright." Harry sighed, unable to comfort girls, he just said, "I suggest you not be so sad, because you wouldn’t want them to waste their lives for nothing, right? Living well is more important than anything—at least they left behind paintings and souls. Look at me, my parents didn’t even leave a painting..."

Annie sobbed twice, tears still falling down her cheeks.

"I have no clue." Harry spread his hands, "Vivi, your turn!"

"I have nothing to say, Harry." Vivi shook her head, "This kind of trouble can only be resolved when she figures it out herself; persuasion from us won’t work."

"It’s not your fault, Annie." Omnius said with a cheerful tone, "Sebastian wasn’t thrown into Azkaban because of you, but because your uncle Solomon informed on him for using Unforgivable Curses he was imprisoned. As for me, well, I was born with a Curse in my bloodline, I wouldn’t live long anyway."

"Even so..." Annie sobbed, unable to accept that two living lives were gone because of her.

"I told you, it’s not your problem, Annie." Sebastian said carelessly, "Being a Ghost, perhaps I can stay at Hogwarts like Professor Bin and Sir Nicholas forever, which isn’t a bad thing, don’t you think?"

"If it were me, I’d think it’s nice." Pabi said, smiling.

And she wasn’t lying, considering she had been existing in the world as a soul all this time.

If it weren’t for the unseen force of Harry’s hand bringing her back to life, how could she have been resurrected?

"Come on, don’t be sad, Annie." Omnius said with a cheerful tone, "Neither your family nor your friends would want to see you like this... You should accept all this and live well, understand?"

"I..." Annie said, wiping her tears.

"We should talk about what’s next." Harry said, looking up, "Annie left school in the second semester of her fourth year, so... well, I think she can enroll with our current year, don’t you think, Sebastian?"

"That would be great indeed." Sebastian laughed, "You should really get your life back on track, Annie... The Curse of the Dark Magic disrupted your life, and I don’t want you to stay down because of that; it’s better to accept this fact, otherwise, I died for nothing—"

"Hey, Seber." Harry corrected, "Your death has nothing to do with Annie, it was your uncle Solomon who reported it—"

"I get it." Sebastian rolled his eyes, floating in the air, he even flipped over.

"Here’s another problem," Cassandra suddenly said with a serious face, "Where will Annie stay during the holidays? The Salu family is long gone, so... perhaps having her stay at the Malfoy family would be better, what do you think, Vivi?"

At this moment, to unite the front, Cassandra even refrained from calling Grindelwald but used a much closer term of address.

"I think that’s a good idea." Vivi nodded, "I think the Malfoy family is indeed a suitable place for Annie to stay temporarily, after all, Malfoy Manor is large enough to accommodate a little girl with no home—besides, most importantly, she is still a Pure-blood Wizard, which aligns well with the Malfoy Clan’s beliefs, right?"
