The Great Celestial Empire Is the Safest Place in the World / Harry Has Connections in the Great Celestial Empire Too

Although he had made all these preparations and even settled many things, he still didn't know how to confront the Mr. and Mrs. Granger... because he didn't know how to bring it up.

The Mr. and Mrs. Granger are just ordinary people, and staying in Britain would definitely be risky and would become Harry's biggest weakness, so Harry must persuade them to leave.

But what will Hermione do then?

She certainly wouldn't leave him, so would her adoptive parents really entrust their daughter to him and watch Hermione venture into danger with him?

'Kid, you're actually insecure, aren't you?' Suddenly, this line appeared in the notebook.

"I... lack confidence?"

'You're afraid you'll break your promise.'

"This..." At that moment, Harry felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Yes... what he was really afraid of was not knowing how to assure his adoptive parents that nothing would happen to Hermione.

Harry was also very uneasy, doubting that even if he made the vow, he might not be able to keep it.

Because he broke his promise once before.

Harry didn't know if, in his previous life, when he took Luna Lovegood away, he had made a similar promise to Xenophilius Lovegood, guaranteeing that he would always protect Luna Lovegood's safety.

If so, then in the end, he must have broken his promise.

'The key issue is not confidence, but choice.' At that moment, another line appeared in the notebook.

Upon seeing these words, a relieved smile gradually appeared on Harry's face.

"The Grey Lady, you truly are a wise woman."

The other person's advice was indeed helpful; in just one short sentence, they had clearly explained Harry's current situation.

Sometimes, even without confidence, you still have to make a choice.

Because if you don't choose, you'll have nowhere to go!

With a sigh of relief, Harry closed his notebook and got up from his seat. But when he opened the door, he found the girl who was so important to him standing there.

When their eyes met, Harry already knew that the other person was thinking something similar to his own.

"Let's go," Harry said with a smile, taking Hermione's hand. "Time to confront Mom and Dad!"

(P. S. Something came up today, so I'll have to release Chapter 3 after midnight. I apologize to those who have been following my updates, so please don't wait up~)

Chapter 431 The Great Celestial Empire is the Safest Country in the World

In the living room that evening, the Mr. and Mrs. Granger were leisurely watching television, while Dobby was tidying up the dishes in the kitchen—a scene of peace and warmth.

Just then, they heard a sound coming from the stairs. The three of them looked over at the same time and found that their two children were walking down the stairs hand in hand.

Seeing this scene, especially the slightly tense expressions on the two children's faces, the Mr. and Mrs. Granger exchanged a glance, seemingly knowing what was about to happen.

"Uh... Mom and Dad, there's something I want to tell you..." Faced with his adoptive parents who were already scrutinizing him, Harry hesitated for a moment before speaking first.

In his opinion, it should be the boy who brings up these kinds of things.

"Hermione and I, we..."

"Are you together?" Before Harry could finish speaking, Mrs. Granger answered with a smile.

"Harry, if that's all you wanted to say, then Dad and I already knew back during last year's Easter holidays!"

"Last year?"

Harry was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, while Hermione behind him lowered her head in embarrassment and punched Harry in the back.

It's all this guy's fault! He insisted on giving me that kiss before we went to Azkaban, and sure enough, Mom and Dad caught him red-handed!

"Anyway, I hope Mom and Dad can agree to us dating...?" Harry pleaded, bowing his head slightly, a hint of embarrassment inevitably creeping into his heart.

He begged his parents for permission to pursue his younger sister...

Hermione: It's my sister!!

"We have no objection to this, after all, you are indeed a very good child."

Mr. Granger seemed to nod in agreement, but meeting his somewhat mournful gaze, Harry felt as if he wasn't looking at his adopted son...

Instead, he was watching a treacherous pig infiltrate his home and then steal his cabbage.

However, Harry is determined to eat this tender little cabbage today, and no one can stop him!

Thinking of this, Harry straightened his back with renewed determination.

"Hey, honey, can you talk to me properly? Stop being so sarcastic with Harry!" Mrs. Mrs. Granger, eager to become a mother-in-law, rolled her eyes at her husband, then smiled at Harry. "Dad's acting like that is all an act. He's actually overjoyed. Besides, he's been planning that once you two come clean with us, we'll take you to dissolve the adoption."

"That's right! Dobby has heard those things too!" Dobby, who was busy in the kitchen, poked his head out. "Dobby can testify that the master really likes the gentleman!"

"I promise I'll treat Hermione well, and we'll get married when she's old enough!" Unlike Dobby, who was just Dobby for the fun of it, Harry understood Mrs. Granger's true intentions and immediately gave her his assurance.

"Harry, what... what are you saying?"

Upon hearing this, Hermione blushed deeply and quickly hid completely behind Harry to avoid her parents' incredibly teasing gazes.

Upon hearing Harry's answer, the Mr. and Mrs. Granger both showed expressions of satisfaction.

They certainly liked Harry very much, but when an adopted son and his biological daughter fall in love, if things go well, it can be a beautiful story; but if things don't go well, it could easily turn into a mess.

Upon hearing about the termination of the adoption, Harry's immediate thought was marriage, demonstrating the depth of his relationship with Hermione and proving it was far from casual.

"Ah, that would be perfect!" Mrs. Granger smiled with great satisfaction. "That way, we're still family."

"That's right, we'll always be family... no matter where we live!" Perhaps it was a heartfelt statement, Harry's promise was solemn, yet also carried a touch of depth.

"Child, has something happened?" Mr. Granger asked with concern.

The Granger family had always kept the matter between Harry and Hermione a secret, so Harry didn't need to be so formal if it were just about this.

But his current hesitant demeanor clearly indicates that there's something else going on.

"So, you two want to sleep in the same room?" Mrs. Granger became increasingly serious as she considered a possibility. "Harry, my father and I want to refuse, but if you've already tried it in private, I can only remind you to be careful..."

"Oh dear! What are you thinking, Mom?" Hermione quickly blushed and explained as the conversation veered off course. "Harry, I told you not to be so slow! Anyway... Harry and I think it would be better if you moved away from here."

"Huh?" *2

Upon hearing this, the Mr. and Mrs. Granger were stunned.

Good grief, how dare you criticize someone like that?

This suggestion is way more domineering than just living together... The Mr. and Mrs. Granger originally thought Harry was lusting after their daughter, but now they realize it's the other way around.

Sigh, daughters really do grow up and leave home.

After a long pause, Mrs. Granger asked in astonishment, "Hermione, isn't it enough that you and Harry are secretly dating at school? Now you're going to live together?"

"Mom, I really didn't mean that..." Hermione clutched her hair wearily, feeling like she was about to burst into tears from her mother's antics.

"Hermione, let me say it." Harry shook his head slightly, his expression gradually becoming serious. "Dad, Mom, Britain is about to descend into chaos, and the next few years will likely be turbulent throughout Europe. So, for your safety, I hope you can leave Europe."

"Leaving Europe?!" *2

"Could it be... sir, you're in danger? Has that person, whose name can't even be mentioned, returned?!"

Upon hearing Harry's words, the Mr. and Mrs. Granger exchanged bewildered glances, while Dobby quickly grasped Harry's meaning and was immediately filled with worry.

"It is indeed related to Voldemort, and the entire Wizarding World will become increasingly chaotic from now on." Harry bowed his head apologetically. "After this, I will encounter many enemies who may try every means to harm you... So, I am truly sorry that you took me in, but I have caused you so much trouble..."

"Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about?" Just as Harry was bowing his head in apology, Mrs. Granger suddenly stepped forward and hugged him. "You're our child, we love you so much, how could we feel burdened by you?"

"What Mom said is what I also wanted to say, and the ones who should really feel ashamed are us." Mr. Granger also looked remorseful. "Harry, you and Hermione are both grown up now, and we can't interfere in these matters, so you should make your own decision. Mom and I will support you."

"Dad, Mom, thank you." Harry nodded gratefully, then said seriously, "Hermione and I have discussed it, and we think the best option for you is to go to China, with Dobby coming along, so you can look after each other."

"China is absolutely the safest place in the entire world!"

(P. S. Here's a recap of yesterday's update, sorry everyone~)

Chapter 432 Harry also has connections in the Great Celestial Empire.

The Great Celestial Empire in the world today is basically similar to what Harry knew in his previous life, but at the same time there are also many obvious differences.

First of all, it is extremely famous.

Whether in the world of ordinary people or the world of magic, China is recognized globally as the fastest-growing country, and its every move attracts the attention of countless people.

Especially in the Britain and even the entire Europe Wizarding World, wizards are particularly keen to discuss and explore everything about China... You can even find the weather forecast for Jixi City on the international section of the Daily Prophet!

Secondly, and quite importantly, China is not a magically impoverished country; on the contrary, it holds a pivotal position in the Wizarding World and possesses many unique Fantastic Beasts and plants that exist only within China borders.

For example, the Chinese Fireball, the Yeti, and the Biting Cabbage are all things you can't find anywhere else.

There's even a saying among naturalists that the phoenix native to China is the true phoenix (FengHuang); while the four Fantastic Beasts widely known in the Wizarding World, the totem creatures of the Dumbledore family, should actually be called Phoenix.

In addition, Garrick Ollivander collectively refers to the three genera of the world's three-sequoia family—redwood, giant sequoia, and dawn redwood—as redwood and considers them to be high-performance wand woods; the first two of these grow on the west coast of the America, while the dawn redwood is native to China.

Incidentally, unlike some sports that require eleven people to kick together, the China in the magical world can be described as a sporting powerhouse.

They have their own national Quidditch team, and since 1950, the China national Quidditch team has consistently secured at least a place in the round of 16 in every Quidditch World Cup, and this time is no exception.

In short, it's simply impossible for a foreign wizard to go to China without connections.

The Mr. and Mrs. Granger had absolutely no reason to object to Harry's suggestion.

Harry was a big fan of China, Granger family had been influenced by it over the years, always finding the mysterious country fascinating.

"Harry, that's a good suggestion, but the immigration procedures will probably be difficult to complete. After all, this is different from when we go to France for tourism."

However, while agreeing, Mr. Granger also considered some other difficulties.

Since the couple wanted to enter the country, they would definitely have to follow the proper procedures. Moreover, Mr. Granger was quite certain that Harry was referring to mainland China, not any other place.

"Actually, I've already asked someone to handle this," Harry explained with a smile. "When I was sorting through my grandfather's inheritance, I discovered that he actually had some connections in China. So I contacted a very close friend of my grandfather's, and the friend recently replied, saying he would be happy to help."

Harry never expected that his grandfather would have any connection with wizards in China.

When I was introducing the Great Celestial Empire, there was one thing I forgot to mention: the best-selling and most highly regarded hair care potion in the Wizarding World — the Sleekeazy's Hair Potion —is clearly labeled "Made in China" on every bottle.

The Sleekeazy's Hair Potion was invented by Harry's grandfather, Fleamont Potter Potter, and the legacy he left Harry was amassed by selling the shampoo company and its patents.

Through this connection, Harry found a wizarding family within China that was currently responsible for producing and selling the Sleekeazy's Hair Potion.

They were simply asking for help settling in and taking care of their adoptive parents, and Harry would definitely pay them well. He and Hermione probably wouldn't have to worry too much about the Mr. and Mrs. Granger' future life in China.

"If that's the case, then that would be wonderful. My father and I can take a good look around there, and doesn't China have a lot of delicious local cuisine?" After Harry explained the situation, Mrs. Granger lit up with joy.

Of course, she might have acted this way because she didn't want her two children to worry.

"Of course," Harry quickly added with a smile. "You and your father can treat it as a trip, wandering around and experiencing the local customs and culture. As for the food, don't worry, there's definitely more than you can eat."

When it comes to China cuisine, Harry couldn't be more confident.

After all, everyone on Earth knows that trying to eat all the delicacies of China is simply impossible... even the China themselves can't do it.

Harry laid it out there: give the Mr. and Mrs. Granger a year, and they'd be lucky to eat their way through an entire province!

"So when exactly do we set off?" Mr. Granger asked with concern.

"They also need to help us smooth things over. The current schedule is for late August," Harry replied. "At that time, Britain will be hosting this year's Quidditch World Cup. I was thinking that you two, Dad and Mom, could come along to watch the games and experience the most famous sport in the Wizarding World. They'll also be coming to Britain then, so we can meet them and then have them take you two to China."

"This is a great arrangement," Mr. Granger said, his interest piqued by the mention of sports. "I'm also curious about what the Wizards' Quidditch World Cup will be like. By the way... Quidditch, is it similar to football? Our Britain teams should be doing quite well, right?"

"Uh, well..."

Harry looked slightly embarrassed when the topic of the Britain Quidditch team's performance came up.

Speaking of which, because the Weasley Brothers were betting on football, Harry also paid a little attention to the Quidditch World Cup... It has to be said that the performance of the Britain teams can only be described as mediocre.

That's right, it's the teams.

Similar to football, the Britain can field three teams simultaneously in the Quidditch World Cup: England, Scotland, and Wales.

But when it comes to records, Scotland's best result is a runner-up finish in the World Cup, Wales occasionally reaches the round of 16, and as for England...

Anyway, it's said that after each Quidditch World Cup, quite a few wizards would go to the entrance of the Ministry of Magic and cause a scene, demanding that the officials of the Department of Magical Games and Sports be dismissed immediately.
