As soon as Harry walked into the Great Hall, he felt a myriad of eyes staring at him, and he couldn't help but sweat on his forehead. He felt uncomfortable, he knew that people were very curious about his experience of being kidnapped these days, but it was difficult to explain, and he wouldn't have attended the school leaving party if he hadn't wanted to know the latest developments.

The real Mad Eye Moody is now sitting at the faculty desk, his wooden legs and enchanted eyes back in their original positions. He seemed so nervous that he jumped in shock whenever someone spoke to him. Harry knew he couldn't be blamed for this, he himself had only been imprisoned for a few days, and Moody had been in his box for ten months, which must have added to his fear of being attacked. Karkaroff's seat was empty. Harry sat down with the rest of the Gryffindor classmates, wondering what had happened during the time he had been kidnapped, and Headmaster Dumbledore was reluctant to say anything more to him.

Madame Maxim was still there, and sat next to Hagrid. They were whispering something. On the other side of the table, sitting next to Professor McGonagall was Snape. When Harry looked at him, his gaze lingered on Harry for a moment. The expression on his face was elusive. He still looked as gloomy and nasty as ever.

Professor Dumbledore suddenly stood up from the faculty desk, interrupting his train of thought. The auditorium was already much quieter than the usual departure banquet, but it was even more silent.

"Another year," Dumbledore said, looking at everyone, "it's over." ”

"I have a lot to say to all of you tonight," said Dumbledore, "and I'm sure you've heard of a lot of unusual things lately, I think. If I don't explain it now, then I probably won't have this opportunity in the future. ”

"Yes, Voldemort has returned, and his minions attacked Moody, using Polyjuice Potion to disguise himself as Moody and enter Hogwarts. The next series of events are inseparable from Voldemort and his minions.

A nervous whisper rang out in the auditorium. Everyone stared at Dumbledore in horror and disbelief. Harry was calm, watching their muttering fade to silence.

"The Ministry of Magic doesn't want me to sue you about this. Dumbledore continued, "Some of my classmates' parents may have been shocked by what I had doneβ€”either because they couldn't believe that Voldemort had really returned, or because they thought I shouldn't have told you about it, because you were still young. However, I believe that it is always better to tell the truth than to lie. Especially in this situation. You know, if it weren't for Jack Silver being a good wizard, we'd probably only see his corpse or more. ”

At this moment, almost every face in the Great Hall was facing Dumbledore, and almost every face had shock and horror written on it.

"When it comes to the kidnapping of Harry Potter and the abduction of the bag that was so much reported by the Daily Prophet, it is important to mention another person. Dumbledore continued, "Of course, I'm talking about Jack Silver. ”

There was a flurry in the Great Hall, and several people turned their heads to Jack Silver, and then quickly turned back to look at Dumbledore.

"Jack Silver managed to escape Voldemort's clutches," Dumbledore said. He risked his life and Fleur Delacour and Harry Potter brought back to Hogwarts. I salute him for his fearlessness in every way, and few wizards can show it in the face of Voldemort's prowess. ”

Dumbledore turned sternly to Silver and raised his goblet again. Almost everyone in the auditorium did. Whispering Silver's name and toasting him.

Once everyone was seated again, Dumbledore continued, "The purpose of the Triwizard Tournament is to enhance and promote mutual understanding in the wizarding world. In light of what is happening now - in light of Voldemort's resurrection - this connection is more important than ever. ”

Dumbledore looked at Lady Maxime and Hagrid, Fleur Delacour and her Beauxbatons alumni, and Victor Krum and Durmstrang at the Slytherin table. Harry saw. Krum, with gauze wrapped around his head, looked dejectedly at Ravenclawβ€”he had heard that he was unconscious in an abandoned women's bathroom, and that Myrtle had appeared to him.

"Every guest in this auditorium," Dumbledore said, his gaze resting on Durmstran's classmates. "Whenever you want to come back, you are welcome. I say it to all of you again - in view of Voldemort's resurrection. We are strong only if we are united, and if we are divided, we are vulnerable. Voldemort was clever at creating conflict and hostility. We can only fight it to the end if we show the same unbreakable friendship and trust. As long as we have the same goal and open our hearts, differences in habits and languages will not be an obstacle. ”

"I believe - I wish I was wrong - I believe that we are all going to face dark and difficult times. Some of you in the Great Hall have been directly mutilated by Voldemort's poison. Many of your families have been torn apart, and I hope that you will be united at this time. ”

"To dispel the darkness, we must unite anyone who yearns for the light, and although the process is likely to be long and painful, I hope that all of you will remember that. ”

"Hermione, I mean, you should let your parents travel abroad for a while, and I'm afraid the Muggle world won't be peaceful for some time to come. ”

Hermione bit her lip and didn't answerβ€”in fact, she hadn't spoken to him since the wolf-stricken Silver appeared on the field with the unconscious Fleur in her arms.

"I swear, I'm really nothing like Fleur,"

Hermione glared at him angrily, "Idiot. ”

"Well, I'm stupid, but you've finally spoken to me. ”

"Don't be a hero in the future, I just want you to be safe, don't be like that again. The little girl suddenly hugged Silver tightly, and her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

Silver looked at the sobbing Hermione in amazement, and then gently stroked Hermione's back with his hand - "Don't worry, it's all over." ”
