Chapter 105: The True Savior of the Prophecy
Since the Death Eaters attacked, Hogsmeade had been far less crowded, and few people had gone out into the streets if they didn't have to.
It was obviously noon, and if it was usual, the streets would be full of wizards by now, but now there were only a few people on the streets, and they all hurried with their heads down and hoods, and even if they passed by, they were very vigilant, for fear of attracting an attack.
The fear of the people was what the Death Eaters were happy to see.
At this time, a group of wizards with red satin tied to their arms gathered at the pig's head bar and drank their drinks. They all seemed to know each other, but they didn't communicate with each other and were silent.
"Coax~"
The fireplace lit up, and Dumbledore and McGonagall stepped out of the fireplace. The wizards in the pig's head bar all put down their glasses and nodded respectfully to the visitor, paying homage to the greatest white magician in Benshijie.
"It's been a long time since all of us got together like this."
Dumbledore looked around, and the Order of the Phoenix was full of people who could come, and many of them were Aurors themselves. They quit their jobs at the Ministry of Magic and joined the Order of the Phoenix.
"Professor Dumbledore, is there anything important about bringing us all together?"
"It must be for the sake of the Death Eaters, what else could there be besides this now."
"That's right! There must be a big counteroffensive, I've endured it for a long time! ”
Many people began to talk, their voices getting louder and more excited, so that Dumbledore had no way to speak.
"Uh-huh!"
Dumbledore blessed himself with a [loud voice] in a silent and wandless way, and a snort silenced everyone's voices, making them realize that this was not a vegetable market.
"Comrades!"
"This is not the time to quarrel, we are about to have a chance to fight back, but not now, please listen to me carefully."
"I will announce a new message. A crucial, unbeatable message. ”
"A new hope!"
"Our hope is still not gone! The Son of Prophecy is still safe and sound, and I pledge my life for your peace of mind! ”
Dumbledore held his head high and declared it loudly with great confidence.
"Bang bang! Smack! ”
Although most people didn't understand what Dumbledore was talking about, it was necessary to cheer for their boss.
"But isn't Potter dead? It also affected Weasley's children. ”
At this time, an untimely voice interjected.
Hearing this, even the members of the Order of the Phoenix, who were loyal to Dumbledore, showed a little dissatisfaction when they looked at Dumbledore.
yes, Potter is killing people right under your nose, and that's the greatest white wizard of the century?
I can't even protect a child under my nose, and now I still tell us what is the son of prophecy who is still safe and sound, and something big has happened a long time ago, okay?
"You can rest assured on this."
"The child of prophecy is not dead, the one who died is just a stand-in."
Dumbledore smiled and said happily to everyone. Those who don't know really think he's telling the truth, but just look at the corners of Magna's occasionally twitching mouth to know what the truth is.
"That means - Potter is still alive? But ......"
Many members of the Order of the Phoenix cried out in surprise, but then their eyes darkened.
However, there were many witnesses to the death of Harry Potter, and the reporter had personally examined it, and it was confirmed that the death was correct, how could Dumbledore's comfort deceive these smart people.
"Hehe~ I know what you're thinking - Harry Potter isn't really a child of prophecy! The true savior is Neville Longbottom! ”
"Although I am also very saddened by Harry's sacrifice, it is precisely because of Harry's selfless dedication that he protected Neville, and Harry died for Neville."
Dumbledore said impassionedly with open arms.
"What! Neville is the savior, that stupid and clumsy Neville Longbottom? ”
"Merlin! Is this true? ”
The reason why everyone believed that Harry was the savior was because he had been staying at his aunt's house and had never been in contact with anyone else, and the other wizards didn't know if Harry was good or not.
However, Neville grew up in the wizarding world, and the wizarding world is so big, who doesn't know Neville's incompetent reputation, he has been a tear bag since he was a child.
Is he a savior?
Many people felt that the future was even darker on the spot.
……
No matter what everyone said, Dumbledore seemed to have fully decided on the matter. Fortunately, everyone is on the verge of despair now, and no matter what Dumbledore says, no one has raised any objections. Rather, they also hope that this is true in their hearts, so they still have Zuihou's hope.
This piece of information, proof of Dumbledore's personal promise, was regarded as a treasure by the members of the Order of the Phoenix, and they used it to spread it everywhere, but it saved the confidence of many wizards in the Order of the Phoenix.
Dumbledore declared Neville Longbottom to be the true Savior!
Not long after Dumbledore announced a new, true savior, Voldemort also learned this "ridiculous" information from the "secret channel".
"Huh? Neville Longbottom? Is Dumbledore already panicking? Who can be deceived by such deceptive words? However, in terms of time, it is not completely impossible. ”
Voldemort scoffed at this, and although he was unhappy that Harry was dead, he also admitted in his heart that no one else could stop his cause. Dumbledore, on the other hand, introduced a Neville Longbottom at this time in an attempt to stop him, which was tantamount to using the mantis arm as a car.
Even Harry Potter was killed, proving that Merlin was on his side as well, and that Neville Longbottom, a pure-blooded waste, could be of any use.
Unfortunately, Voldemort underestimated Dumbledore's grip on people's hearts after all.
In such dark times, people will grasp whatever they can give them hope with, and that is only an illusory light.
The Order of the Phoenix's resistance has hardened again, and a number of wizards have joined in to inject new blood into them. The Death Eaters' offensive was slowed down.
Of course, the pressure of the savior is not pleasant.
The next day, Neville wondered how Weishenme's gaze had changed when he looked at him after breakfast, and it had become so strange that it made him uncomfortable. Especially the Slytherin students, the eyes that looked at him completely changed, and they were so cold and piercing.
Neville, who had a bit of a low self-esteem and cowardice, didn't even dare to go out of his room now, and he was worried that if he walked around the castle, the strange-looking Slytherin student would give him a look behind his back.
"Savior? I? ”
Neville's doubts were quickly cleared up, as Hermione, who was also incredible, found him. The round, somewhat awkward face looked incredulous, and his mouth was wide open and he was in a daze.
"Neville, don't you know? This is what Professor Dumbledore admitted yesterday, and I can't believe it, so I came to you to find out. However, it seems that you don't know anything about it. ”
As a friend of the former Savior, Hermione knew very well that Harry had not volunteered to be a so-called double as Dumbledore had claimed, and that he genuinely believed that he was the prophesied child of fate.
The clever Hermione quickly guessed Dumbledore's intentions, but she wondered, did Dumbledore know about doing this? You know, the savior is not easy to be, just look at what happened to the previous savior, and if he is pushed to this position, those dark wizards will do whatever it takes to kill him.
Those people could poison Dumbledore for the first time, then they could come a second time, or even a third time, if they wanted to. Neville has been completely pushed to the cusp of the storm, and could be crushed at any moment.
To put it mildly, Dumbledore was completely driving Neville to his death.
Whether it's true or not, as long as Dumbledore says so, the Death Eaters will never let Neville go. After that phrase came out of Dumbledore's mouth, Neville and the Death Eaters were left to die.
"Neville, Professor Dumbledore is looking for you, please come to the Headmaster's office."
An upperclassman, a Gryffindor senior, shouted at Neville's dorm door.
"Go, Neville, go ask for clarification."
Hermione cheered Neville on.
Neville followed the senior out the door, and he could feel the surprise in the other party's gaze as he looked at him all the way, so he was helpless and embarrassed,
"That's right, it's you, Neville! According to the day you were born, you also meet that condition. Harry died, proving that he was not the man he had been prophesied. Listen to me, Neville, you have to carry this responsibility! No one else can take your place! ”
When Neville mustered up the courage to stammer and ask Dumbledore questions, Dumbledore said categorically, despite his frightened pale face.
"No...... Professor, I can't do it, I really can't, I'm not as brave as Harry. ”
Neville pleaded with a shudder.
"Listen Neville, you're a Gryffindor, you're in the bravest house. You should believe in yourself more, give yourself more self-confidence, and look for the courage hidden in your heart, and I believe you can do it. ”
Dumbledore played his trick trick, and the young Neville fooled him so much that he couldn't find the soles of his feet, and nodded his head in a daze, and took on the responsibility of being the savior.
Unfortunately, the timid Neville had just come out of the Headmaster's office when he met Snape, and under the cold gaze of the black bat, his blood instantly dropped to freezing point.
It was only when he remembered what he had promised in a dizzy mind, and this realization made him almost fall headlong in front of the headmaster's office.
Even Harry Potter, the great hero he admired, died in vain, what could a mere forgetful Neville do.
A flame of hatred ignited in Neville's heart, and he remembered his parents who had been tortured by the Death Eaters in the hospital, the dark wizards who had belost him since childhood.
"Mom and Dad, I will definitely avenge you!"
