In the next few days, Vinda tested her strength and new wand. After that, she started to look for what type of material and spell would be required to build a city that could not be destroyed by Muggles.
She also helped Sasuke find ways to improve his strength. A month later, as Grindelwald started to get active to understand the status and help build the cities, she also participated in many events he was organizing.
Time passed bit by bit, and finally, the third year was complete. The biggest event of this year was the return of Grindelwald and the fight between Voldemort and Dumbledore outside of Azkaban. This shook many people since many of the prisoners were killed before they could escape, but the fight couldn't continue as the news of Grindelwald's return paused both of their battles.
But The main reason was that Dumbledore couldn't kill Voldemort even if he wanted to, and the same was true for Voldemort.
The sun rose over the new fortified castle on a special island in the French Sea, casting a warm glow on the magical barrier surrounding it. Inside, Sasuke was already awake, meticulously planning the day's agenda. The castle, once a place of refuge, was now buzzing with activity as everyone prepared for the escalating conflict.
Sasuke's sharp eyes scanned the various plans and maps spread across his desk. His clones were busy gathering information, training, and fortifying defenses.
As Sasuke stepped into the breakfast hall, he saw Hermione, Daphne, Pansy, and Luna, who had just arrived for vacation.
Looking at Hermione, who had a very serious face while reading the newspaper, Sasuke said with a joking tone, "Why are you making such a face? Like you've lost all your money in the stock market?"
Hermione, still sitting at the table, passed the newspaper to Sasuke with a floating charm.
As he looked at the newspaper, his eyes began to shine. "What a nice picture."
"Nice?" Hermione's tone was angry. "Do you know how much trouble you have caused by reversing Grindelwald's age? He's literally going around multiple countries and forcing them to give up their land."
"That's not forcing; he's purchasing the land," Sasuke corrected Hermione.
"Grindelwald doesn't even have the money to buy that land, just promising he will pay. If this isn't forcing, what is?"
"Hermione, you don't have to worry. We already have a plan to pay back."
"And what type of benefit did he give you for helping him that much?"
"It's a big woman," Luna said while playing with her food.
Hermione stared at Sasuke; her expression was clearly annoyed. "This is the reason you're helping him?"
"No," Sasuke tried to clarify. "I'm working with him because, if everything works out, we will be releasing lots of medicine for Muggles, which will be free for unmarried women, and it will also cure lots of diseases for wizards. We're also writing some books that will help them defend themselves."
Hermione's expression was skeptical. "And what do you want in return? For them to marry you?" As a young woman who had just finished her third year, she was no longer a foolish girl. She understood the implications of relationships.
"That's a great idea! I could put a label that says if somebody wants to marry me, they're welcome," Sasuke said jokingly, then he changed his tone. "You don't have to worry. It's just help; I won't be asking them to join me."
The real reason he was doing this was to earn system points for helping. Although the points per person were low and could only be obtained once from regular people, if done on a large scale, he could consistently accumulate a significant number of points.
After this, they continued eating. Hermione couldn't take it anymore and took out a letter after breakfast, placing it in front of Sasuke.
After reading the letter, Sasuke looked at Hermione. "Did he contact you?"
"No," Hermione explained. "It's my school principal who gave me this and asked me to give it to you."
Hermione questioned, "Is there anything special?"
"It's Dumbledore's letter asking me to meet. which would be about Voldemort, expansion off his forces, or probably discussing the recent events," Sasuke answered.
Pansy got near him, picked up the letter, and read it. Then she asked, "Why don't you just finish Voldemort? This way, you could be more famous than Mr. Potter."
"I don't need to be famous," Sasuke replied.
"You should not have this attitude. How many people are being hurt because of Voldemort?" Hermione was about to get angry.
"What's gotten into you?"
"It's Penelope. Do you know she was attacked by a Death Eater?" Hermione said, her voice filled with concern.
"Well, I know about that, and I also know she is dating that Weasley guy, so I think this should be his problem," Sasuke replied dismissively.
Luna chimed in, "I think you should go to that meeting so we can end Voldemort and have more free time to go on adventures."
Pansy, hugging Sasuke, asked, "Where are we going?"
"Back to my country where I am going to kill lots of people," Sasuke said with a dark undertone.
"No, I think it's better to go and catch some dinosaurs," Luna suggested with her usual whimsical tone.
"Well, I don't know about dinosaurs, but there is a chance to catch snakes and a few big monsters," Sasuke responded.
Shifting his gaze to Hermione, Sasuke asked, "So, have you decided?"
"Decided what?" Hermione replied, confused.
"If you want to join me," Sasuke clarified.
"With the growing number of girls around you, I don't think after joining you, there would be any time for me," Hermione said with a hint of jealousy.
Sasuke smiled reassuringly. "Well, I'm working on that. Probably some time magic in the future should solve this problem."
"Let's decide after the Voldemort problem is solved," Hermione suggested.
"Granger, if you don't want to join, just say it," Pansy interjected, her tone impatient.
"I think I have a better option," Sasuke said, standing up. He walked over to Hermione and picked her up.
As he took her to study room people like Pansy and Luna not wanting to left alone join.
Daphne who left alone was thinking what should she do, her relationship was little completed well saying little is really not suitable but she doesn't have anything to do now.
