Summoning the Nether Dragon

"I'm ready." Harry stretched out his hands and held his head high.

It was just a simple sentence, but two voices came out of Harry's mouth at the same time.

The two sounds blended together, creating a strange and beautiful effect.

In a dimension unseen by those around him, Harry's outstretched hands were clenched by another pair of hands, and then a dark, faceless figure appeared.

At the end of the sentence, the two figures overlapped.

Roar!

A loud roar came from the pool in front of Harry.

A huge red head emerged from the calm water.

Its thick, intertwined horns formed a crown-like shape, along with the mane around its neck, its dark golden eyes, and the figures around it that seemed to be struggling to stand because of its roar—all these things proved its identity.

The strongest Ancient Dragon species— Nether Dragon!

"It seems this is true." Dumbledore gripped the Elder Wand tightly, watching the enormous figure soar into the clouds.

His hands trembled slightly, along with his vast, ocean-like magical power.

He glanced at Hagrid out of the corner of his eye, surprised.

Among the three figures still standing, he was actually there!

Even Riddle couldn't help but clutch his chest and bend slightly over.

But Hagrid, like Harry the Summoner, acted as if nothing had happened.

Riddle looked at Harry with a gloomy expression, his fingers clenched tightly, turning slightly white.

"Come back!" The mixed voice came from Harry's mouth again.

The Nether Dragon, which was baring its jet-black fangs and preparing to announce its existence with another roar, vanished into thin air the instant its voice fell.

"Are you all alright?" Harry's voice returned to normal.

Even his double pupils, which were not very noticeable under his glasses, returned to their original appearance.

However, even as he said this, he only looked at Ginny, touching her face with concern and holding her in his arms.

"Harry! One more time!"

"I want to see that child again!" Hagrid's small, black beetle-like eyes shone with an unprecedented light.

Even when Norberta was born, it couldn't compare.

Behind him, Charlie, who was sitting next to Bill, had the same expression.

Harry felt a little rude, as this was the first time he had met Ginny's brother.

"Harry, one more time!"

"I haven't had enough of Percy's stupidity just now!"

"It looks like he just wet his pants!"

Without a doubt, it was Fred and George.

They also collapsed to the ground, pointing at Percy was covered in cold sweat not far away, and burst into laughter.

"Harry, how did you beat that one of yours?"

"I mean, how did you manage to talk to Nether Dragon!" Ron stood up, his face pale, still trembling as he leaned on the table.

"Harry, how dare you—" Sirius's eyes reddened, his face filled with lingering fear.

Before facing this behemoth, he optimistically thought that Harry had already defeated Voldemort head-on, so what was Harry in the Mirror World?

But now, he only feels fear and anger.

He was terrified because he almost never saw his godson again.

He was angry because of his son's recklessness in teaching him.

This was the first time he had ever hated Harry for looking so much like James.

They are equally bold and prefer to fight alone.

In the early days after Hogwarts, James liked to face Snape alone, as if to make himself more worthy of Lily.

But after losing more than they won, Sirius started following James around all day.

What followed was Snape's long struggle against the four of them.

Looking at Harry like this, Sirius was lost in memories again.

"You silly child, you can just not look in the mirror!"

"Why take such a big risk!" Mrs. Weasley, her eyes also red, walked over to Harry and embraced Harry and Ginny.

Mr. Weasley also stood up. He was excited and wanted to say something like "let's do it again" like Hagrid and the others, but because of Mrs. Weasley, he stood there awkwardly.

But the next second, Fred and George's mockery of Percy gave Mr. Weasley something to do.

"Don't do this, Dad!"

"There are so many people!" Fred and George cleverly ran behind Bill and Charlie.

"Isn't this a good thing?"

"I just noticed that Dumbledore seemed slightly uncomfortable when facing Nether Dragon."

"We're guaranteed to win this time!" said Tonks.

Perhaps to fit the occasion, Tonks' hair turned fiery red.

Not only Bill, but all the other Weasley were also there—because of the Mirror World, the Order of the Order of the Phoenix and the Weasley family had all come to 10 Rosaceae Drive the day before the engagement.

"Tomorrow is Harry and Ginny's engagement day. Should we throw a celebration party while we're at it?"

"How about we put down the magic fireworks? The sky will be full of shooting stars, wouldn't that be fun!" said Dedalus Diggle Diggle, Dean's guardian in the magical world.

"No, let's not!"

"When Voldemort fell last time, your misbehavior led to Millicent Bagnore's resignation," Professor McGonagall said coldly.

"She was originally on our side, the Minister for Magic."

"As a result, that idiot Fudge came to power because of this!"

"I don't want Madam Bones to resign because of this again." Mad-Eye Moody's Magical Eye and his normal eye both stared at Diggle.

His hands were in his pockets, gripping his wand tightly, as if he would give Diggle a hard slap if Diggle said anything stupid again.

"I think we might be able to summon the Nether Dragon directly from the surface of the North Sea, when Voldemort is resurrected," Kingsley said excitedly.

"This is too dangerous!"

"Harry should stay in the safest place." Snape narrowed his eyes, as if he wanted to kill Kingsley with his gaze.

Harry found it very noisy.

He had planned to go to bed early the night before the engagement party.

But unexpectedly, after lunch, Sirius opened Anywhere Door and took him to 10 Rosaceae Drive.

The place was packed with people he knew and people he didn't know.

He finally got to see the entire Weasley family.

Because of Charlie Weasley, the legendary figure that Gryffindor always talked about also came.

Harry was almost startled when they first met.

Dark brown skin, dense freckles, and a broad, gentlemanly face make up this Weasley who is completely unlike Weasley.

But what surprised Harry the most was the large, shiny burn scar on Charlie's muscular arm, and the thick calluses and blisters on his hands.

Hagrid and Professor McGonagall also came.

There were even Snape and Riddle.

Harry wasn't surprised by Dumbledore's appearance; he seemed to have always valued him highly.

But to Harry's surprise, in their very first meeting, Dumbledore asked Harry to show him everything in the Mirror World.

He had assumed that all these people had arrived a day early for his engagement party.

And that's how the scene we just witnessed, and the subsequent conversations, came about.

Harry, still held tightly in Mrs. Weasley's arms, recalled this.
