After Ryan and Hermione left the Forbidden Forest, they walked around the edge of the Forbidden Forest and turned to the front of Hagrid's hut, where the sun was shining brightly and making people feel much more cheerful.

As soon as they approached the door of Hagrid's hut, Fangya jumped out of the open door, screaming merrily and wagging his tail.

"Who?" Hagrid asked, as he walked to the door, "Ryan!" he strode over to meet them, put Ryan in his arms and said, "I'm glad to see you, friend." It's really nice to meet you. ”

They walked into Hagrid's hut and saw two sets of bucket-sized teacups and saucers on a wooden table in front of the fire.

"Had a cup of tea with Olym," Hagrid said, "she just left." ”

"Sounds like you're getting some progress in your relationship right now. Ryan quipped, and Hagrid immediately squirmed, and a small piece of skin on his face that was not covered by the beard turned red at once.

"Speaking of which, I really want to thank you for your advice, it has really not been easy for her for so many years. I almost got her in trouble. But now I find out that the two of us have a lot of common language. Hagrid said merrily, pulling a few more cups out of the cupboard. He made his tea, brought a plate of rock skin cakes to Ryan and Hermione, and leaned back in his chair, scrutinizing Ryan with dark eyes.

"How does it feel to win the Triwizard Tournament? I heard that you've invested most of your money in the Weasley twins' business, and hopefully they'll save them from being cleaned up by Molly for your sake—"

"Do you know Mrs. Weasley?" asked Hermione, somewhat surprised.

"Of course I do. Hagrid nodded. "You know, I've been a ranger at Hogwarts since I was young. When I first met Molly, she was a first-year student with the surname Puwit, and at that time her strong personality was already reflected-"

Listening to Hagrid tell those stories of the past, Ryan and Hermione realized that although the half-giant in front of them looked about the same as a middle-aged man, he was actually from Voldemort's generation, and today he is also in his 60s. Of course, the giant blood gave him a longer lifespan, and he was still physiologically middle-aged.

"By the way, what is Madame Maxim looking for from you? As Hagrid stopped at the end of some of his story, Ryan seized the opportunity to ask.

"Get me some work for the summer," Hagrid said, "but it's a secret." I can't say, even if I know that you two have received an invitation from Dumbledore. Olim — what you call Madame Maxim — might be with me. I think she will, and it looks like I've convinced her. ”

"Does this have anything to do with the mystery man?" asked Hermione, curiously.

"Probably," he said vaguely, "I'm sure I won't say it, and don't ask me any more." ”

It seems that Hagrid has been sent to contact the giant this year, but I just hope that he will have a little better luck this year. After chatting for a while, Ryan and Hermione said goodbye to Hagrid and went back to the castle for lunch.

That afternoon, Ryan and Hermione walked into the Great Hall to find that the winning house emblems that adorned the Great Hall were missing from the usual departure banquet and had been replaced with the Hogwarts coat of arms and decorated the entire Great Hall with the emblems and colors of the four houses.

Dumbledore first announced the House Cup for this year, with Gryffindor House narrowly beating Ravenclaw to win the House Cup thanks to Ryan's triwizard victory. Gryffindor students raised their glasses in celebration. After watching everyone celebrate, Dumbledore tapped his cup.

"Another year is over. Dumbledore looked at them and said, "But at the same time, I must tell you once again solemnly that the Dark Ages may be upon us. ”

After much deliberation, Dumbledore decided to hide the news of Voldemort's return in public for the time being, and only to tell the truth to those who would listen to him, and to the general public with a vague slogan of darkness descending. Of course, this may also be due to the fact that although Voldemort's resurrection caused serious problems, no one was killed. So Dumbledore also felt that there was no need to take such an extreme plan to announce the news to everyone as in the original book.

There was a whisper in the Great Hall, but it quickly fell silent, this was not the first time Dumbledore had announced the news, but because this was the first time they had heard Dumbledore announce it so solemnly, everyone discussed it below. In view of the various events of the recent past, the vast majority of people still believe what Dumbledore says.

"The Ministry of Magic doesn't want me to tell you this. Dumbledore continued, "Some of my classmates' parents may have been shocked by what I had done—either because they couldn't believe that more than a decade of peace was over, 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, and if we try to hide the news, we can be caught off guard and hurt even more. ”

At this moment, every face in the Great Hall was facing Dumbledore, and every face had shock written on it. Because the students here were born and raised in peacetime, it was naturally difficult to accept the news of the possible outbreak of war for a while.

"The purpose of the Wizarding Tournament is to enhance and promote mutual understanding in the wizarding world. In the light of what is happening now — and in view of the danger that we are now facing the outbreak of war — this link is more important than ever. Dumbledore said again.

Dumbledore looked at Miss Maxime and Hagrid, at Karkaroff in the teacher's chair, slightly flustered, at Fleur Delacour and her Beauxbatons alumni, and at Victor Klum and Durmstrang at the Slytherin table.

Krum looked nervous, even a little scared, as if he thought Dumbledore was going to say something harsh.

"Every guest in this hall," said Dumbledore, his gaze resting on Durmstrand's classmates, "will be welcomed at any time if they want to come back." I say it again to all of you – given that the war is likely to be more than confined to British territory, it is likely to be larger than anyone expected. We are strong only if we are united, and if we are divided, we are vulnerable. In war, you can't just hide and hide to keep yourself. 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 we are all going to face dark and difficult times. But remember, as long as we keep hope in our hearts, we will eventually win. ”

It seems that even though Professor Dumbledore decided to hide the news of Voldemort's resurrection in order to unite more people, he still described a darker future in a very serious tone, hoping to arouse everyone's vigilance.

Ryan knew that it was because Professor Dumbledore's sense of responsibility had led him to choose the current statement after weighing it for a long time in awakening everyone and uniting the majority. This statement will try to arouse the vigilance of all on the premise of uniting the greatest number of people. However, it is inevitable that it will attract hostility from the Ministry of Magic later, but it should be much better than the opposition of the entire wizarding world in the original book.

Thinking of this, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as everything was better than what had been in the original books in the past, that would be enough.
