Time passed by, and soon the school ended, like every year, the students soon will be separated and everyone went home as usual...
In the shared room, Gray was sitting with the trio who was happily talking about what will they do next, and somehow excited about the next year...
Harry got his wish and will be able to live with Sirius Black... And leave the ducks house...
Since the other Death eaters were caught, and Dumbledore gave enough evidence about everything, Sirius Black became a freeman right now...
While Ron still the same, getting in a fight with Hermione from time to time... Gray really wonders how did both of them ended together...
As for Hermione, she was the calmest... Studying more, squeezing knowledge from Gray more... And planning what she should learn till the next year... A typical Hermione for you...
No wonder she will become the next minister of magic... She really deserves it...
Gray looked at those three and was lost somehow...
After all, it has been four years with them...
When he came to this world for the first time, it was them who he first met...
If it wasn't for this, he might not really care about their life or death, to begin with... But after a long time, he saw them growing up every year with his eyes... Even though it also hit him many times...
Gray thought about kidnapping them back with him before... But after some thought, he gave up...
Ron has his own family... And a big family... He won't be willing to leave his family and go to the unknown... Besides he doesn't have this courage...
And Harry's life right now was just getting better, and he already got some of what he dreamed of when he was a child... What's more... this kid actually hooked up with Ginny earlier... So his happy life was coming faster... Without Voldemort, this kid protagonist's luck started growing wildly in another way...
Just thinking of the many times he extracted and failed to get luck attribute, Gray felt annoyed...
So taking Harry will be a very cruel thing to this boy... Even though he will gain more with him... Still not good...
As for Hermione... She was the only one who Gray hesitated to whether he should kidnap her or not...
I mean, come on... She really has great potential!! In Gray's mind, she won't even lose to Tauriel... And this girl was a very hard worker... If more knowledge opened to her with some support, she can achieve a very high level easily...
But just like Ron... She has a family and her own goals in this world... So Gray can't simply take them from the world they live in and go to another unfamiliar and dangerous world...
And most importantly... They are still so young...
So with all of this, it wasn't a real good idea to take them...
He did this before? Legolas has a father in his world...?
Hmmm... let's talk about it...
Looking at Gray's partners, every one of them was somehow special...
How old Legolas and Tauriel are? Both of them lived for a long time, that Gray was simply a child in front of them...
Tauriel doesn't have any family in the middle-earth, and her life used to belong to the elves of the wood realm...
One of Thranduil's guards, her old master/king... A normal elf, can't be more normal in the eyes of the high-elves.... that Thranduil didn't even accept her as a match for his son...
So Gray played the idea of kidnapping her out... With her situation, there was nothing for her stay for...
As for Legolas...
Legolas wasn't a child either... but already more than 2000+ years!
Well... But he was somehow easy to catch, honestly... Gray knew that he was somehow shameless about his actions back then...
But at least he did nothing wrong...
Legolas was the prince of the wood realm? inherit the throne or something? Please.. they are elves... His father, Thranduil won't die even after tens of thousands of years... And there won't be a real war with Sauron after Gray stole the ring...
Besides Legolas's personality wasn't the kind that loves to stay in one place... He himself was somehow eager to go on in his own adventure, especially after fighting with Taureil and Gray at first against the dragon, this desire was stronger, and he also recognized Gray... So for him, it wasn't just following Tauriel blindly... It was more about his own heart...
When Gray used Tauriel as a bait, it was only a way to lead Legolas only, after all, this wasn't enough to really fool Legolas... He didn't live this long life as without learning anything, so he won't simply be fooled by Gray...
So he didn't fool him, but Legolas followed by his own will...
And most importantly... he gave Legolas the choice... And following him was completely his own will...
Then came Mary...
Hmmm... How to say it... Mary was his lifesaver... If Mary didn't save him, a complete stranger, in a world where no one could be trusted, after he came back from the first world he crossed to, and take care of him after that, Gray would have already become a zombie traveler right now... (That sounds like a funny idea)
For him, Mary was the only precious thing he still has from the main world... Such a Funny, lively, strong, and trustworthy Mary, can't even be exchanged...
So after losing both Ogi and Allen, how could Gray leave her alone?
Her personality? Hmm, let us ignore this... (Author: I think her personality is her charming point!)
And Baccarat... To be honest, even if she has everything, Gray wouldn't let go of her for any reason... At least he couldn't let go of her ability...
Taking Baccarat with him, was more like changing his life from nightmare to easy mode... How can he let her go?
In fact, he thought of extracting her ability many times before seeing her... But soon after meeting her, he stopped thinking about this... The more he gets along with her, the more, Gray can't really think of such things... Since Baccarat accepted joining him, even though she only accepted for elf immortality, he abandoned the last thoughts of taking her power... And only thought of how to let her join him for real, after all, there was a better ability for him... so yup... He poisoned her with the ring [idea] like the others, but a little bit more... Another shameless act...
But he was glad about this... Really glad that he didn't take her ability and turned back...
Let's not say... Gray still doesn't know that If he really did this, he would be dead by now...
And Perona, this funny girl, since she mixed up with them, naturally they won't leave her behind... She herself entered their pirate ship!
Lastly Nagini, this lazy snake/girl... For Nagini right now, Gray and Perona are her everything...
Even though his idea at first was to raise a powerful partner simply because he didn't want a mindless animal beside him... But after some time, Nagini for him was like the others... A part of his family... And he was more glad about his choice again...
So thinking of all of this... the trio simply can't be taken, and there is no need... for many reasons...
Compared to Gray, Perona didn't think much and wasn't sad at all, Even though she felt bad about not seeing the trio after, but thinking of going back to see Marry and the others, she was happier.
Besides she wishes to go to other worlds already! She felt the magic of this world, so she was full of expectations for the other worlds!
And like this, Gray and Perona spent their day with this golden trio...
...
The next day, the students left the school one after the other, Gray watched the three kids going away and was ready to leave with Perona...
He didn't try to meet Dumbledore or the others again... In fact since the prophecy thing, Gray already talked to Dumbledore again... So Gray doesn't need to greet this again...
As for the prophecy, there was nothing for him to study about... Nor it can be studied anyway... It's a piece of prophecy, made by Divination and prophecy magic... As simple as this... So he understands how did things happen...
"So what next?"' Perona looked at Gray and asked...
And Nagini also showed herself and looked at Gray...
Gray now has only three things that he wants to do...
First to look at a current man in his prison, and finding a parasite... Then collect what can't be found in other worlds...
"Hmmm... Let's collect some things for the last time...." Gray thought for a second and said...
But then he thought of something and looked at the school...
Well... Hogwarts also has many things that can be collected...
(Author: Hmmm... After writing this hard chapter... I found out that I really should go back and edit somethings about how Legolas and Tauriel joined his pirate ship...)
