After all, he is a well-known double agent who once worked under You-Know-Who. His understanding of Bellatrix surely surpasses that of most people.
Since he said it's exactly the same, it can't be any different.
"You've all been deceived by her!" Cassandra glanced disgustedly at Vivi's version of Bella, "This, in fact, is her true character."
Seeing Vivi raise her magic wand, Harry promptly said, "Alright, Vivi, stop, quick, stop!"
Vivi's version of Bella unwillingly glanced at Harry, her arm paused in mid-air, lowered her head, bit her tongue, and shot a reluctant glance at Cassandra.
"I think we should let Alastor take a look." After a while, Newt said, "Isn't he a veteran Auror? And that Demon Eye... I wonder if he can see through Miss Grindelwald's disguise."
Don't you say, with Newt's suggestion... even Dumbledore was a bit tempted.
Being a seasoned old facilitator...
Forget it, it's better to wait until this matter is over to talk about it.
"Alright, alright." Dumbledore spoke, "Our urgent task now is to go to Gringotts and check whether there's a Soul Artifact from Tom there, such as Marvolo Gaunt's ring or Mr. Omnius Gaunt's portrait."
"Okay." Harry and Vivi nodded in agreement.
"I'll have the Nightmare Horse Carriage take you to Gringotts." Dumbledore added, "Also, Miss Grindelwald needs some concealment, like wearing a veil and a wide-brimmed sun hat, to avoid attracting Aurors..."
"Alright." Vivi gave a sweet smile, but a hint of madness flashed in her eyes.
Those familiar with her know that perhaps... she's planning something.
Harry also brought some Polyjuice Potion; this time, he was going to transform into Rodolphus Lestrange, Bellatrix's husband.
They split into two groups, leaving Hogwarts and heading to Gringotts.
Harry and Vivi sat in the same carriage, and as the carriage took off, Vivi sat on Harry's lap.
"Potter?" Vivi wrapped her arms around Harry's arm, "How do you feel... do you like this feeling?"
"It's not yet time to pretend to be Lestrange himself." Harry said helplessly, "You don't have to act like this, alright?"
"But how do you know this isn't my true nature?" Vivi's tone carried a hint of madness, "Perhaps... Potter..."
"Alright, alright—" Harry quickly dodged, "You're now Bellatrix Lestrange, not Vilatia Grindelwald. If you were to say this in Vivi's appearance, I might be happy... but not in this form."
"So, what you like is my appearance, isn't it?" Vivi pretended to look aggrieved.
"I like both." Harry replied emotionally, "But I prefer you with both inner qualities and outer appearance, not this Lestrange appearance... this old woman."
"Hmm." Vivi pinched Harry's nose, "Alright then, I'll let you off for now—"
Soon they arrived at Gringotts, and before getting off, Vivi put on a scarf and a wide-brimmed sun hat.
Harry also drank the Ageing Potion—he chose not to drink it upon departure because he feared Vivi would do something crazy with Bella's insane woman's face.
Of course, Harry's face was the pass, and the fairy guards immediately recognized him and offered to lead the way.
The two proceeded to the office of Scard, the fairy supervisor, who had been waiting inside.
"Welcome, welcome, Mr. Potter." Scard said with a smile, "What brings you here?"
"I need to enter the Lestrange vault, Scard." Harry stated concisely.
Upon hearing Harry's words, Scard didn't hesitate for even a moment before saying, "No problem, Mr. Potter—Gringotts is at your service..."
Harry wasn't too surprised by Scard's response, he told Scard, "To minimize impact, I think it's best to stage a play."
Then, he nodded to Vivi.
Vivi removed her veil and sun hat, revealing Bellatrix's face.
"Mrs. Lestrange?" Scard gasped, "Aren't you... in Azkaban?"
Vivi laughed twice, teasing Scard while shaking her head, with a crazy grin on her face.
"Ahem." Harry coughed twice, "This is actually my friend disguising herself with Polyjuice Potion, but the magic wand truly belongs to Mrs. Lestrange."
As he spoke, Harry signaled Vivi to take out the magic wand and hand it to Scard.
"After all, we are partners," Harry said using what Mr. Septimus once taught him, "As partners, I wouldn't want Gringotts' reputation to suffer because of this, would you agree, Mr. Scard?"
"Yes, a true partnership!" Scard nodded happily, his movements pronounced, "If that's the case, then you two..."
Harry said nothing but pulled out the Polyjuice Potion, drinking it in one gulp.
Before long, Rodolphus Lestrange appeared where Harry stood.
"Let's go." Harry told Scard, "Inform Lahgan, we'll be using the Soul-snatching Curse on him later."
"Alright, thank you, Mr. Potter."
Scard's eyes were moist.
The two of them returned to the hall of Gringotts; this time, they didn't use anything to hide their faces.
