Chapter Twenty-Nine: Reckoning and Departure

Seeing the Dark Lord leave in such a dashing manner, leaving Harry Potter who fainted after being too nervous and the stone that fell to the ground, Holly and Erinka looked at each other helplessly, not knowing how to deal with such a situation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but seeing the tasteless and discarded magic stone, Holly finally made a decision. After Holly worked hard to destroy the Philosopher's Stone, Dumbledore finally returned to Hogwarts. Dumbledore, who appeared in the final hall, didn't ask what was going on with Ron, who had been cast a petrification charm and abandoned outside, and walked straight to Harry, who was being despised by the two girls watching the excitement. After seeing the fragments on the ground, Dumbledore was only slightly surprised, the legendary Philosopher's Stone was still very attractive to most people. It's just that I didn't expect these two girls to have such a strong determination and dare to destroy this stone directly. "What an unusual girl. Dumbledore sighed slowly. Watching Dumbledore use his magic to levitate Harry Potter in the air and drag him out of the hall, there was no point in the two of them staying there. Following Dumbledore, the two of them still clearly felt the gap between the current and Dumbledore's magic. The difference between the seventh order and the legendary tenth order is far from being a quantitative difference on the surface. In terms of the control and use of magic alone, Dumbledore was too much stronger than the two, which made the two more eager to improve their strength. This desire reached a peak when the two watched Dumbledore take Hermione and Ron out of the secret door along the way. In some ways, the summer vacation of these two people may not be too easy. Three days later, --- news of Potter's awakening was first spread throughout Hogwarts by the Weasley brothers, and what happened between him and Kula in the dungeon became a mystery once again. In fact, the first person Harry saw when he opened his eyes was a person he didn't want to meet, and of course, that person didn't want to have much contact with Harry Potter - Holly Parker. Harry clearly remembered that the previous Gryffindor inexplicable point deductions had come from this girl, and according to Hermione, her absence from Transfiguration class had even been tacitly approved by Professor McGonagall. Standing in front of Harry Potter's bedside, Holly also had mixed feelings, if she could, she really didn't want to face this boy, the savior who had changed her life. Originally, she was going to appear here with Erinka, but Erinka said that it would be better to be alone for a day than two people staying in the school hospital together. God knows when Harry Potter won't wake up well, but he chose to wake up today, which made Holly have to face Harry alone. What happened at Hogwarts quickly reached the ears of the Ministries of Magic through the Slyerjelin students, and it was hard not to draw attention to the famous Harry Potter and the cursed professor of the dark arts. As the High Procurator of Hogwarts, it is difficult to tell anyone about the roles played by Holly and Erinka, and who would believe that two first-year girls would be the High Procurator of Hogwarts and save another first-year boy under the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. After many negotiations, this matter was finally set up as a lone hero vs. villain. The two senior prosecutors who need to submit the report again also need to learn the "truth" in the dungeon from the mouth of the "client" Harry Potter in a "legal" way as soon as Harry Potter awakens. "I have to say that Dumbledore's memory magic is still quite good, and the modification of Harry's memory makes Harry himself not have the slightest doubt about his memory. "Hello, Mr. Harry Potter. Before I talk to you formally, please sign this agreement to prevent you from leaking the news of our upcoming conversation, which is required by the Ministry of Magic and allowed by Dumbledore, of course, if it leaks, it will not make you expelled from Hogwarts, but it will require you to be punished in other ways, and these punishments will not affect your life at Hogwarts. Holly pulled out a piece of agreement out of thin air, and the sparse clauses on it made Harry a little puzzled. Harry, who had hastily skimmed through the agreement and found nothing wrong, hastily signed his name where he signed it below. Seeing the Y letter written almost identically to herself, Holly suddenly felt that her current behavior was a bit excessive, but thinking of her plan, Holly still relented and handed Harry several agreements that looked similar. When both of them signed these agreements and made a magical contract, Holly finally returned to today's topic. "Alright, Mr. Potter, first of all, let me introduce myself, Holly Parker, the special investigator for this incident, who needs to ask you about the situation. "You're a special investigator, why did they make you an investigator?" asked Harry, slightly surprised. "It's only temporary, and besides, there are two special investigators for this incident, and of course there is another one, so you don't need to know her identity. Okay, off topic, Mr. Potter, can you tell me why you were in the dungeon that night?" I got word that someone was going there to steal the Philosopher's Stone... So I'm going to go..."Then why don't you tell the school professor or ask for help from the other seniors?" "We told Professor McGonagall, but she ignored us, and as for the seniors, we didn't know if they were going to prepare for exams, so we didn't tell them..."Harry Potter was already a little flustered, he knew that this matter couldn't involve Hagrid, otherwise the spread would be too wide, and no one was sure that he could save the large number of people involved at the same time. "Well, that's good. Dumbledore said that you single-handedly defeated Professor Qura and then protected the Philosopher's Stone, right?" "Well, that's all for today's inquiry. If you need to know more, we will continue to contact you. The investigation period for this matter may be relatively long, so please be sure to keep the communication open this summer, otherwise, we do not guarantee what the consequences will be. With that, Holly turned and left the hospital, replacing Dumbledore with him.

It wasn't clear what Dumbledore and Harry Potter had said, and Holly wasn't in the mood to know. The only thing Holly cared about was that among the agreements that Harry Potter had signed, there was a more stringent agreement mixed in. It was an intra-family agreement, an agreement that allowed Holly to extract as much potential resources as possible from the Potter family, because it was automatically effective as soon as Harry told anyone else about his conversation with Holly. When the two need to go to Gringotts together to execute that last will, this agreement will give Holly enough leverage. So Holly decided to keep this agreement with her, believing that with Ron Weasley's character, he would not give up without revealing what happened that night.

The time without homework always passes quickly. Under Dumbledore's bullets, Potter's last few days at Hogwarts were enjoyable, with no students surrounding him asking questions or that. It should be said that all students are celebrating the end of a semester.

On the last night before leaving school, the school's usual big dinner, Holly and Erinka didn't have the idea of being the center of attention, and the two of the students at Ravenclaw House were not as relaxed as the others. Slajelin decorated the hall early, with a combination of green and silver, so that everyone knew which team would win the year without looking up at the hourglass.

When Harry Potter arrived late, he was the last to enter the hall, and the already noisy hall was raised again.

Seeing everyone gathered, Dumbledore clapped his hands and stood up. "Another year has passed! But I'm going to have to bother you with an old man's nagging before you let go of your belly and eat these wonderful foods. What a year it has been! I hope you will find that your brains are a little richer than they used to be...... You've got a whole summer to make it pretty and empty! Now, as far as I know, the Academy Cup is going to be presented here. The specific points are: Gryffindor is fourth with 262 points, Hufflepuff is third with 352 points, Ravenclaw is second with 426 points, and Slajelin is first with 472 points. ”

Hearing this, there was a cheer at Slyerjelin's long table. Winning the title for seven years in a row is already a new record for Hogwarts... But seeing Dumbledore's desire to stop talking, Holly knew that the old bastard was definitely going to do something shocking.

Just as Slajelin's cheers fell, Dumbledore spoke again...", but given what happened inside, I think some special points are necessary. First, it was Mr. Ron Weasley, because he played the best game of Hogwetcher in many years, for which Gryffindor added 50 points, and secondly, Miss Hermione Granger, who remarkably used calm logic in the face of fire. For this, Gryffindor added another 50 points, and thirdly, Mr. Harry Potter, for his great courage and fearless courage, Gryffindor added 100 points. Dumbledore paused, smiling at everyone, "There are many kinds of courage, it takes a lot of courage to stand up to our enemies, but it also takes a lot of courage to stand up to our friends. For that, I would like to add another 20 points to Mr. Neville Longbottom. The hall was silent, and after Dumbledore's series of bonus points, Gryffindor had surpassed Slyerjelin in points. The silence at this moment is a foreshadowing of louder cheers to come.

"That said," Dumbledore clapped his hands, "the décor needs to be changed..."The Slyerin decorations in the hall were all Gryffindor decorations, and the cheers around the Gryffindor table seemed to turn the whole hall upside down.

The subsequent announcement of the results made everyone's mood a little better. Everyone, even Neville, passed the exam without any problems. Probably the only one who wasn't so happy when she saw the results was Hermione, where the grade rankings were, and the little 3 stung her eyes, even though she was all excellent, she didn't get the first place. And according to her investigation, there is a juxtaposition of grades... Harry, for example, tied with a girl in her dorm room. This 3 clearly tells her that Hogwarts has a better rating than the "O", but she just hasn't encountered it. Thinking of this, Hermione secretly decided that she would study harder next school year.

Suddenly, everyone's dorms have changed a lot. Their wardrobes are empty, while their suitcases are full. The school has another announcement prohibiting students from using magic during the holidays.

On the train back to London, the trio found a compartment on their own. Hermione and Ron had so much to ask Harry. And when Harry rejected Ron for the seventh time, he finally didn't hold his hand and relented. At this time, Holly, who was staying at the family box at the end of the train with Erinka, almost jumped up with excitement when she noticed the completion of the contract.

When the train arrived, all the students stepped off the train one after another, and the originally empty booth immediately became crowded. The old wizard at the exit let them pass in groups of two or three, so as not to have too many people at once.

Say goodbye to Erinka at the exit of the train station and return to the Muggle world of Holly, dragging his luggage, facing the sun, towards the orphanage. It's going to be a different kind of holiday.
