After Vivi left, James immediately whistled at Harry.
"Way to go, Harry." James gave Harry a look that said 'that's my boy,' praising him: "You've managed to woo such a stunning girl, looks like you're truly my good son, inheriting my strengths..."
Unexpectedly, when Sirius heard James' words, he couldn't hold back anymore.
He covered his face and said painfully, "Stop, Forky—I'm sorry to you!"
Sirius' outburst left James momentarily stunned.
"What's going on? What's this?" he asked, puzzled, "Why are you saying that? How have you wronged me?"
"That blonde girl earlier is a Slytherin! A wicked Slytherin!" Sirius shouted angrily, "Just look, Harry will definitely be led astray by her, I knew it, Slytherin women..."
But to Sirius' surprise, not only did James not get angry, he even slammed the table.
"Who said Slytherins are no good? Slytherins are simply amazing!" James said excitedly, "What was that saying? Do you remember the Gryffindor motto back in the day—let Slytherin women bear Gryffindor children..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lily gave him a chop on the head.
"You'll lead the kid astray! James!" Lily scolded.
James held his head but didn't forget to continue expressing his admiration for his eldest son: "Anyway, well done! Harry! Truly my good son!"
"But..." Sirius was still trying to explain: "They're really not suited for each other, Miss Grindelwald is just too... too cunning, I'm afraid Harry will be played by her..."
He held onto a last shred of hope, betting on Lily's motherly love.
No mother wants to see her son toyed with by a bad woman, even less Lily, a typical Gryffindor.
"Wait, what did you say her surname is?" James asked, frowning, "Grindelwald? Is that the one Dumbledore has imprisoned at Nimongard?"
"Yeah, that's her brother." Sirius shrugged and said, "Though it's a long story, anyway—Lily, you must talk some sense into Harry. I think that Hufflepuff Miss Swedding fits him much better..."
By now, Lily understood exactly what was going on.
She wondered why that blonde girl looked so familiar earlier...
Turns out she was Miss Grindelwald from the Map Secret Room!
But wait a minute...
Back in the Map Secret Room, Vivi had imparted so much to her, they were both teacher and friend to each other.
The current situation is that my teacher somehow walked out from the painting, and now she's... hitting it off with my son? Seemingly about to become a couple?
Even if they're not now, it's pretty much a sure thing.
Lily, being a woman, certainly understands women.
The current situation says...
My teacher has become my daughter-in-law?!
In Sirius' shocked gaze, Lily also gave Harry a look of approval.
"Nicely done, Harry!" She also gave Harry a thumbs-up, "That's my son!"
Sirius held his head, incredulously looking at James and Lily.
Wait, guys, ladies?!
But, that is a wicked Slytherin!
How can you tolerate a S! L! Y! T! H! E! R! I! N! becoming a daughter-in-law of the Potter family!?
Aren't you two supposed to hate Slytherin the most?
Just then, Vivi walked in from outside.
Lily looked up, meeting Vivi's gaze directly.
"Long time no see, Vivi." She said.
"Indeed, long time no see." Vivi nodded in acknowledgment, "Lily."
Sirius was disoriented in the wind, he couldn't believe that this wicked Miss Grindelwald actually knew Lily?!
And apparently, they had quite a close relationship...
"You two know each other?" James asked with interest.
"Yes, of course we know each other." Lily grinned at James, "Remember I told you about the Map Secret Room before?"
"I remember." James nodded, "Ancient Magic—right? Inside there were Professor Lachham, Professor Luke Wood, Principal Fitzgerald and Miss Grindelwald hiss..."
At this point, James gasped.
"My Merlin little darling..." He looked at Vivi, shakingly pointing at her, then at Lily: "She... she and you... that is... back in the Map Secret Room..."
But James accepted it pretty quickly, he had experienced time travel, so why couldn't Miss Grindelwald from the Map Secret Room play around like this.
Besides, having a daughter-in-law who's Grindelwald's sister, made James feel it was quite face-giving.
He felt his head held higher than others.
"Yes." Vivi sat beside Harry, not appearing awkward, "We have known each other for ages, in fact, I've always been guiding Lily in Ancient Magic."
Lily looked at Harry.
"Attaboy (good job)!" She gave a thumbs-up yet again.
"Dumbledore is still at the Ministry of Magic, it'll be some time before he comes back." Vivi told Sirius, "Godfather, you'll be the one to tell them what happened next."
God... Godfather?!
James regarded this with profound respect, his admiration for his son reached almost reverential levels.
You see, this is Grindelwald's sister!
Lily too watched Vivi with amusement, thinking about how Vivi might change her address for her in the future...
Hmm... from teacher and student, to good sisters, then to mother-in-law and daughter-in-law...
