Chapter Eighty-Five: Words Are Power

"I admit that your will is quite tenacious. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info But I also want you to think about it with your brains -- do you have any hope of winning, and what do you rely on to stop me and my men?"

"By Hogwarts, the Wizarding War Fortress that has lost its energy is just a sturdy eggshell, by the wands in your hands? many of you don't even make it through O.W.L. and N.E.W.T, by your courage and will? Not to laugh, this kind of thing will only make your death a little more ugly. ”

"You can't stop me. So, who are you resisting now? for Harry Potter, or for Jack Silver?"

The sound was amplified by magic many times, resounding throughout the playground, shaking everyone's eardrums.

"Harry Potter, a wretched creature who survived by his mother's sacrifice, and you called him 'Savior'? Oh, look, when you laid down your life for him, he didn't stand up and fight me. Is this coward worth sacrificing for it?"

"Jack Silver, a rich boy who grew up in the shadow of his family. He's caused me a little trouble, but what's the use? You think he's the backbone of resistance against me? Let me tell you that he's sent his family's vast fortune and other members of his family to South America! He's only stayed in England to make trouble for me because he didn't want to give up his real estate. You think he's going to stand up against me for you? No, he's doing it for himself. He started an illegal radio station and financed the madman Xenophilius Lovegood to publish an illegal publication called "Singing the Opposite" to trick you into coming against me. If he's so selfless, then what about his Golden Army, why haven't I seen a single alchemy puppet until now?"

"You were deceived, and we won. So far, all we have lost here is some cannon fodder, and the wizards on my side have completely crushed you in terms of numbers and strength. Without the protection of the Wizard War Bastion, you will be vulnerable, and if I attack, it will surely be a river of blood. Listen, whoever resists, whether it is a man, a woman, or a child, will be killed, and his family will be put to death. Now, get out of the castle and kneel before me, and you will be forgiven. Your parents, your children, your brothers and sisters will be forgiven and you will continue to live as you and I enter the new world that we will build together. ”

There was silence in the playground and in the castle, except for the sound of stones falling from the gaps that had just been blasted open by magic.

"He was such a brilliant orator, and I was almost convinced by him. Silver looked at Dumbledore and said, "How many people in Hogwarts do you think he would keep fighting?" ”

"Words are sometimes more powerful than magic. Dumbledore looked at the struggling Harry Potter with a hesitant expression.

The white scales had spread to Harry Potter's face, and he now looked like a scaled snake man.

"Is that what makes my question so difficult for you? Dumbledore. I just wanted to get a little idea of what that half of the gibberish parchment you left Harry behind when you 'died' was. Silver said.

"Is this important now?" Dumbledore didn't seem to want to answer the question.

"Of course it's important, you can almost guess the identity of that guy. Silver shook his head, "If I choose to surrender, I don't dare to say anything else, my life can be saved after all." But you and Harry Potter can't be, he can spare everyone, but not the two of you. ”

"Sounds reasonableβ€”" said Dumbledore, "What do you mean by that if I don't answer your question, are you going to surrender directly?" Sirius and Ron nervous when they heard this, and they both clenched their wands.

Silver grinned, "Sure enough, when it comes to playing with people's hearts, Professor Dumbledore, you don't have to do much." ”

"Of course I won't surrender directly, otherwise wouldn't it be in vain to do so much? ”

He raised his wand, and a golden light sprang out from its tip and rose rapidly, leaving a trail of gray smoke in its wake. A brilliant firework burst into the air with a snap, and then split into countless tiny points of light, forming the image of a raven in the air.

There was a deafening roar from afar, and a white cloud of steam appeared in the sky. There was a rumbling sound from the earth, like a herd of elephants rushing towards it.

"You should be satisfied, Dumbledore. Silver said, "The Golden Legion is out, and now you should satisfy my curiosity." (To be continued.) )
