Chapter 334: The Impact of "Voldemort's Return".
"Seamus, did you quarrel with Harry?" Bruce asked. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Seamus nodded helplessly and told what had happened. It turned out that because of the "help" of the "Daily Prophet", the image of Harry and Bruce changed from classmates and friends to liars and conspirators in everyone's eyes. Students are very simple-minded, so there is often a "rumor" or "gossip" or something like that.
Especially "news" about someone, like what he did and what he said. While it's ridiculous to think about it, once it gets spread among students, a lot of the same things happen to them, and many people believe it, both in the East and the West.
Seamus and Bruce Harry had a very good relationship, but even so, because of the bombing of the Daily Prophet, he still had doubts in his heart, if only suspicion was nothing, but after dinner, when everyone was talking in the common room, Seamus and a few other classmates talked about Harry and Bruce.
The language was inevitably a little intense, but Harry and the others were heard back in the dormitory, and several people quarreled.
Bruce had expected something similar before coming to school, but he didn't expect it to go so badly.
"Seamus, listen! People shouldn't listen to everyone else's everything, we are friends and have lived together for more than three years. You should know what kind of people Harry and I are, a lot of things have happened during this time, these things can't be explained in a sentence or two, it's normal for you to have doubts, but I don't want you to doubt your friends just because of these doubts and the rumors outside! Also, I'm sorry about asking me to apologize for you! I think you should go find Harry yourself! ”
After saying that, Bruce left, and Seamus stood there awkwardly and hesitated for a long time back into the house.
When Bruce returned to the dorm, Harry sat on the windowsill, unusually silent, Ron and Neville sitting beside him comforting, and Hermione as well.
"You're back, Bruce!" Hermione saw her boyfriend come back and tell her what had just happened.
Bruce said, "I know all about it, I just met Seamus and he told me everything. ”
Ron said angrily, "Didn't you beat him up? ”
"Ron!" Hermione reprimanded, "Don't you think things are messy enough?" ”
Bruce said, "Seamus asked me to say sorry to Harry, but I refused. ”
Harry said in frustration, "I should have wanted Seamus to apologize, I shouldn't have said that about his mother." ”
Hermione persuaded, "Don't say any more, we thought it would be like this before, didn't we?" Harry, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault. ”
Bruce walked over to Harry, patted him on the shoulder, and said; "We're all with you, and the big man always has a raped look!"
"Poof!"
"Haha!"
The three of them were amused by Bruce's words, and Hermione blushed and said angrily, "Phew, how can you be so comforting." ”
Harry laughed too, and said, "Huh! At least Bruce's approach works, doesn't it? ”
"Harry, Bruce......"
At this time, Neville walked over a little "shyly", looked at Bruce Harry and said, "I want to say sorry to you. ”
Bruce quipped, "Neville, your apology is a bit inexplicable!" ”
Neville turned grimacing and said, "No, Bruce! I should apologize to you, I believe you! It's true! I believe everything you said, and Grandma also saw the Daily Prophet report, and she also said that she believed Dumbledore. And...... And I know a little bit about Mom and Dad, just like the Potters and the Sterlings...... Members of the Order of the Phoenix! ”
"Yes! Neville, I know a lot. Ron said in some surprise.
Hermione was surprised by Ron's thought Neville was stupid, and said dissatisfied, "Neville is much smarter than you." ”
"Granger, why did I mess with you again!" Ron said angrily for some reason.
"Alright!" Bruce said, "Listen to Neville. ”
Neville's expression turned ashamed, and he said, "Actually, I wanted to tell you in the car, but ...... But I don't have the courage to see everyone like that...... I...... I'm sorry, Bruce, Harry. ”
Harry said hurriedly; "No, no! You don't need to apologize, Neville! I should thank you for that. ”
"That's right!" Bruce put his arm around Neville and smiled, "Dude, you're great!" Also very brave! You know, not everyone has the courage to say what is in their hearts. ”
Hermione kept nodding her head and said, "That's right, Neville! Your progress is very great. ”
Neville was a little afraid to be a little embarrassed, and said shyly, "Thank you!" ”
The originally silent anger came alive, and Hermione said, "All right, boys! Some misunderstandings can be solved with a sentence or two, like Neville! I think you should know what to do. ”
Neville said; "If Bruce had been here, he would have been able to stop this."
Neville reminded Hermione by saying this, and she asked, "By the way, Bruce, why did Dumbledore look for you?" ”
"yes!" Ron said, "I forgot if Hermione didn't say anything. ”
In fact, Bruce didn't plan to tell them about the conversation with Dumbledore at first, because there were already a lot of troubles now, and there was no need to increase the pressure on them, after all, Dumbledore's "warning" would bring more pressure. Secondly, it is not known what exactly the "terrible" thing Dumbledore said is, and saying it will only add to the annoyance.
But in the end, Bruce told them this, the reason is simple: he needs the help of his friends to face and solve the problem together, just like Ron's saying that it is better to face multiple people than to face problems alone.
Just as Bruce had expected, the four of them were stunned when they learned of his conversation with Dumbledore.
"O Merlin! This ......," said Harry in disbelief, "I hate my crow's beak!" ”
"No, Harry!" Ron said "with difficulty": "The problems caused by the crow's beak will not leave Dumbledore helpless. Guys, this semester is probably more than just trouble. ”
Hermione said, "No, this is Hogwarts after all!" Fourteen years ago, Voldemort was in the middle of the day, and he didn't fight here. ”
Ron said, "You also said it was fourteen years ago, who knows what he thinks now." ”
Harry said, "I don't think Ron is exaggerating. If we think about it for ourselves, we have lived like mud like a mud beach for fourteen years, and now that we are resurrected, anyone will be full of anger. ”
"Huh!" Bruce suddenly laughed and said, "Harry, the root cause of this is because of you, you defeated Voldemort. Or will you sacrifice yourself? ”
"Huh!" Harry laughed and said, "If it's just for me, I'd love to!" It's worth it to have one less person and so much trouble! ”
"Haha." Ron and Neville were amused by their words.
Hermione was helpless and said, "Please, this is not the trouble we encountered before, this is related to this wizarding world you are still joking." ”
Bruce immediately hugged Hermione and said, "Don't be so nervous, honey! What do we come up with now, so why not take it easy? ”
"I can't take it easy!" Hermione pushed Bruce away and said, "Bruce, Dumbledore must have told you these words, thinking you could solve this problem." What are your thoughts now? ”
Bruce touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "To be honest, there is no way to say anything, and I don't think the reason why Dumbledore is looking for me is because I can solve it, I don't have the ability to do it yet." You're too uplifting to put your husband. ”
Harry immediately said, "Bruce, I think Hermione's words are right, Dumbledore won't tell you this for nothing." ”
Bruce thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he thinks I'll tell you this." ”
"What's the reason for that?" Hermione wondered.
At this time, Neville suddenly said: "I think Bruce is right, Bruce's popularity in school is very good, and both grades and magic are recognized by everyone. Perhaps Dumbledore thought Bruce had a way of bringing everyone together. ”
Bruce nodded appreciatively and said, "Neville, that sentence from you really helped me a lot. But I'll say you're right, at least that's what I thought. ”
"Hmm!" Harry pondered, "It makes sense, if Dumbledore really had an accident, then no one could protect Hogwarts and protect the students here, and only everyone united could make Voldemort fearful." ”
Ron laughed, "If that's you, Bruce." It's a pity that you're only in the fourth year this year, otherwise I would definitely suggest you run for student council president. ”
"I'll admit you have some truth to it, but I don't think it's a reasonable idea!" Hermione spoke, "It's not easy to bring Hogwarts together, not to mention anything else, but the Slytherin people...... I don't think I need to go on. ”
"Huh!" Ron was like a deflated ball: "If Voldemort makes a comeback, it would be good if those purebloods in Slytherin didn't applaud and welcome, and I don't expect them to fight back." ”
Harry smiled wryly and said; "I still can't say why, but trouble will come to the door at any time."
"Ahh Bruce yawned and said, "Okay, if you can't think of it, think slowly, now I think we'd better think about how to deal with the trouble in front of us." ”
Hermione said in surprise, "The trouble in front of you? You mean...... Umbridge! Damn, I forgot about her! ”
"Damn!" Ron jumped up and said, "Damn, this is a big problem!" I can bet she's definitely going to be looking for trouble. ”
Hermione said, "No one is going to bet on you, Ron!" Because we all think so. ”
Harry said, "I don't think she would have found us if we had been careful not to make mistakes." Who is going to get along with a bunch of students? ”
Bruce Pi snorted without smiling and said, "Harry, all I can say is that you are too innocent! ”
