Chapter 308: Sleepless Night

Bruce understood what Dumbledore meant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Voldemort, plus his Death Eaters. Not to mention a fourth-grader, even if a professor at school wanted to escape from there, it would be impossible. Aberforth had said that Dumbledore would not be influenced by his emotional preferences, so he must have been skeptical when Bruce could return from the graveyard unharmed.

Bruce said, "Professor, I know what you mean. ”

Dumbledore nodded and smiled, "You're a smart boy, Bruce. No need to think about it, I'm sure you'll be telling the truth. ”

Bruce said, "Actually, I was able to leave the graveyard thanks to the Dark Lord. ”

Upon hearing this, Harry hurriedly said, "Bruce, what are you talking about. ”

Bruce said, "Don't worry. Actually, Voldemort left me on purpose, he wanted me to be his follower. I took advantage of this gap to escape, and of course I used some shady tricks. ”

"Tricks?" Harry was surprised and asked, "What kind of trick can deal with Voldemort?" ”

Bruce laughed, "Learned in China." ”

As soon as he heard this, Dumbledore felt a dull pain in his abdomen, he had also been to Shushan, and he had been old friends with Qingsong Daoist for many years. Coincidentally, he had asked the same question as Bruce, and Dumbledore would never forget the smile and the sudden kick from his old friend.

"We wizards rely too much on magic, so many times this becomes a flaw, and no magic can be used by the enemy when they are close to each other." Dumbledore explained with a wry smile.

The two immediately understood Bruce's so-called tricks, and Cedric asked in surprise, "Merlin's beard!" Bruce, you're not going to beat Voldemort, are you? ”

Harry excitedly said, "Great, that's how it should be." ”

Dumbledore stood up and walked up to the three of them and said, "Children, I'm so proud of you. In this conspiracy, you have overcome the difficulties and stood firmly on the side of justice in the face of adversity. Not only that, but I want to thank you for all you do. But you also need to understand that darkness and danger are coming. ”

Harry said firmly, "Professor, no matter what the danger is, we will not be afraid. ”

Bruce nodded and said, "Evil is invincible!" ”

Dumbledore said, "I'm glad to hear you say that, and I'm sure you can do it. But I have to remind you that the difficulties we face are far beyond your imagination, not only from the darkness but also from our side. ”

All three knew what Dumbledore was referring to. They could even guess the contents of tomorrow's Daily Prophet, as Cedric had said, to continue to whitewash the peace, and what happened to the cemetery seemed to Fudge and the others to be non-existent.

"You can go back." Dumbledore said, "Oh, yes. If anyone asks you about something, you don't have to tell them, just say that it is my command. ”

Regarding Voldemort's resurrection, whether everyone believes it or not, Bruce and the three of them who have experienced it first-hand will be asked by many people. No matter how they answered those people, they would have doubted that Dumbledore's words would save them a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"Thank you. Professor! ”

The three of them left the principal's office and walked through the hallway to the courtyard, where Cedric took a deep breath of the night air and sighed, "It's hard to imagine coming back alive from that place. Bruce, Harry, I owe you my life. ”

Harry said, "We're all friends, do we need that?" Besides, thank you too. Without your Ten Thousand Arrows Piercing Spell, we would really be lying in the cemetery. ”

Harry remembered that. Diggory, how can you have a thousand arrows piercing the heart curse? Bruce asked.

Cedric explained: "It was Hermione who taught me, just before the third game, and I wondered why she was helping me, and now I know why. ”

"Damn it!" Harry suddenly slapped his head and hurriedly said, "Bruce, let's go to the school doctor's office." Hermione fainted when you didn't come back! ”

"What?"

Bruce panicked and ran towards the school infirmary, followed by Harry and Cedric. By the time Bruce rushed into the school doctor's room, Hermione had woken up and was about to get out of bed.

"Hermione!" Bruce also ignored the "no noise" rule and ran over with a shout.

Ron heard the news of Bruce's safe return after taking Hermione to the hospital, and Ron told Hermione when she woke up, feeling relieved that Hermione couldn't stay any longer.

When she saw Bruce, Hermione burst into tears and ran over quickly, and the two hugged each other tightly. Madam Pomfrey smiled at the sight of the two, put the potion down, and left.

Looking at the haggard Hermione, Bruce said guiltily, "I'm sorry, dear! ”。

Hermione was afraid that Bruce would disappear in the next second, and hugged him tightly. Bruce had been in danger before, but Hermione was there for him. This feeling of knowing the danger but only hoping for it is extremely uncomfortable for both oneself and the people it cares about.

Ron teased as he looked at the two of them who were still hugging each other after asking about Harry. "Almost, Hermione! I can even say hello to Bruce! ”

"Huh!"

The two parted, and Bruce laughed, "You can ignore it." ”

"You bastard, I was crying." Ron said with a "furious voice".

Bruce smiled and said, "That's a shame I didn't get to see you cry." ”

Lavender smiled and said, "Anyway, it's great that everyone can come back safely." ”

Hermione nodded, and said with trepidation, "yes, it's good to come back safely." We haven't seen you since Fleur and Krum came out, and we're really scared. ”

Bruce reassured, "Aren't we back now?" How are you doing? ”

Hermione said, "I'm fine, I'm fine now." Bruce, what exactly did you encounter? ”

After feeling the happiness repeated by their friends for the rest of their lives, the experience of the three of them naturally became the most important thing for Hermione, Ron and Lavender to know. Especially the earth-shattering words Harry said after the game.

For Hermione, the three of them, Bruce and Harry, of course, would not hide anything, and told the three of them what had happened.

Bruce's experience with the three of them was a wonderful and exciting "blockbuster" both in the game and in the cemetery, and I admired their experience and the courage they showed, Hermione Ron and Lavender, but more than that, the same fear that everyone had after hearing Harry's words on the field.

Unlike those people's suspicions, the three of them were convinced of this. In addition to Lavender, Hermione and Ron had all seen Voldemort with their own eyes, and even if it wasn't "fully formed", it showed that the demon was not dead at all. Bruce once said that Voldemort would make a comeback sooner or later, and now that day has come.

A deathly silence lingered between them, and after a moment Ron spoke, "What to do?" ”

Harry said, "What else can I do when the soldiers are coming?" He can be defeated once, and he can be defeated a second time. ”

"Harry, I didn't mean to hit you. But you shouldn't think of the mystery man too simply, and none of us should think so. Cedric reminded.

Harry nodded, "I know how to do it, but I don't believe it's possible that so many of us can't beat a single Voldemort and those Death Eaters." ”

Hearing Harry say Voldemort's name, Ron Lavender and Cedric's bodies trembled involuntarily.

Bruce said, "You'd better keep it simple, Harry!"

"Am I not right?" Harry asked rhetorically.

Bruce said, "Yes, very much. But only theoretically correct, unity is strength. But what about the facts? Our fathers have proven that only a small percentage of wizards in the wizarding world were willing to fight against the mysteries. ”

Cedric said helplessly, "That's right, Harry! We only know about that history in books, but we don't experience it ourselves. My dad has said more than once that too many people choose not to act, and to say something that shouldn't be said, the world would be a terrible place without you and Mrs. Potter's sacrifice. ”

Ron immediately said, "But we can't run away from this, the Weasleys are not going to compromise with those damn bastards." ”

"We're all the same, Ron! You don't have to be so excited. Hermione persuaded, "Do you know what I think?" Submit...... The mystery man matter has nothing to do with us for the time being, what I care about is the reaction of the Ministry of Magic, Cornelius Fudge to be exact. ”

Cornelius Fudge, the leader of the wizarding world, may be a qualified leader if he were a "peaceful and prosperous world", but in the turbulent times, he lacks not only the courage of a leader, but also the most important courage and responsibility.

Harry smiled wryly, "I don't have much hope when I see his face in the ring. ”

Ron said disdainfully, "Counting on him? Hehe! Then we would rather choose to do the same inaction as many people. ”

"Not really!" Lavender said, "He's also the Minister of Magic. ”

"Nope! Ron was right. Cedric said helplessly, "Minister Fudge...... Alas! I think he himself knew that the mysterious man was not dead, but in the face of fear he chose to deceive, including himself. ”

Hermione shook her head and said with emotion, "Bruce, do you remember the book you gave me about Mr. Lu Xun?" It seems that Ah Q also exists in our world. ”

Bruce smiled and said, "Forget it, don't talk about it!" How bad could it be if it's already like this? We just know how to do it, let's go back! It's late. ”

The group left the infirmary and returned to their dormitories, the Gryffindor common room was empty, and today was the final battle of the Triwizard Tournament and the day the championship was announced. It was supposed to be an exciting day, but who can be happy now? Whether they wanted to believe Harry's words or not, fear was destined to take over their hearts.

Back in the dormitory, Neville inquired about Bruce and Harry's situation with concern, but did not ask about Voldemort. The daytime games and the fierce battles at the cemetery had exhausted Bruce Harry, but they couldn't sleep.

Not only tonight, but they are destined to have many sleepless nights in the days to come.
