Chapter 317: Voldemort's Game

The next morning, when Edward had just woken up from a shallow meditation, Ron burst in with a newspaper in his hand. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Hey, Edward, check out the new Daily Prophet with good news. ”

Edward took the newspaper and read it, and soon noticed that the narrative tone of this issue of the Daily Prophet had completely changed.

The front page of the daily newspaper carried a headline about the battle that took place yesterday on the Privet Road, and there were many magical images in it. And the headline on the front page is eye-catching: Hogwarts Guardians are back, and they are fighting off Voldemort with their companions!

The daily newspaper spends a great deal of space detailing Edward's experience and the events of the great battle, and equally extolling his great strength and achievements in exaggerated language, as if he were slapping him on the back.

In addition, there are some personal introductions of Edward's companions.

"These wall grasses, when Voldemort was raging, they became his mouthpiece. And now that things have taken a turn for the better, I immediately let go of singing your praises. Ron said angrily.

"Ron, ...... do you mean?" asked Edward.

Ron flipped the newspaper over, and a headline appeared in front of Edward: The Dark Lord is in Fear! Hogwarts is closed!

"Voldemort didn't run?" asked Edward, surprised.

"Yes, that evil guy didn't run. "A large magical barrier was seen near Hogwarts, with a large number of werewolves, half-giants, and Death Eaters gathered inside. It's clear that the Dark Lord intends to use Hogwarts to fight us to the death!"

"Good, that's what I want. Edward smiled, tossed the newspaper aside, and quickly began to put on his armor.

"Edward, your armor is so cool, where did you get it, and what are these three shiny runes on it?" Ron said enviously, touching Edward's "Enigma" armor.

"You won't understand, Ron. Edward smiled and said, "Now, are you going to stay here, or come with me to Hogwarts?"

"With you, of course. Ron frowned, "Not only me, but Harry, Hermione, Hagrid, and Lupin will be with you." And now, there are many people waiting for you to show up outside Hogwarts, many of them are parents whose children are trapped in Hogwarts, as well as some righteous people. ”

"What about my other companions?"

"Milhouse and Legolas have already set off, and perhaps the sudden change in the Daily Prophet has something to do with Milhouse and Aniah. ”

"They're fast, so we can't be left behind. ”

............

By the time Edward and Harry and the others came out of the apparition migration, there had already been a crowd of people gathered around the wooden bridge at Hogwarts. These people were holding banners, shouting and scolding, and some even wept out of concern for their children's plight.

Most of these people were wizards, only a few were Muggles, and there were thousands of them, but none of them had the courage to approach the magical barrier of Hogwarts.

Rita Skeeter, a special correspondent for the Daily Prophet, scurried around the crowd like a fly that smelled stinking. She was accompanied by a notebook and a quill that could write.

"Wow! This is the savior of our wizarding world, Edward Lee! When Rita saw Edward's appearance, she immediately rushed to her body, "This medieval dress even more reflects your identity as a warrior!"

"I hate this female reporter!" Hermione whispered to Edward, "this woman likes to maliciously attack everything in the wizarding world, and she won't have anything good to say about this kind of thing." ”

"Miss Hermione Granger. Before Edward could speak, Rita took the lead, "Be careful with your manners, it's bad behavior to speak ill of people behind their backs." And, are you changing boyfriends? Wise choice, Mr. Harry Potter is far worse than the savior Edward. ”

"Shut up, you stinky woman. Hermione won't forget the rumors that the female reporter had made for her and Harry, "Don't you say bad things behind other people's backs!"

"Alright, Ms. Skeeter. Edward stopped the female reporter's rebuttal, "I've heard about you, the articles you wrote make me very disgusted with you, I don't want to be interviewed by you, and I don't have time to talk to you right now." ”

Rita froze there with a smile on her face, at a loss. Ron's guess was correct, and Milhouse and Annia easily took control of the Ministry of Magic and immediately built momentum for Edward. This special correspondent was sent here to say good things about Edward. Before she arrived, she had been scolded by the editor-in-chief of the newspaper for her slanderous articles against the wizarding world and her copy of Dumbledore's Black Secrets, and the newspaper was harshly criticized by Ania, the interim minister of the Ministry of Magic.

Edward ignored Rita, but couldn't turn a blind eye to the psychologically complicated parents. Voldemort's intentions were clear, he wanted to take the students trapped in Hogwarts as hostages in this final war.

If he insisted on attacking the Academy of Magic regardless of the feelings of his parents, Edward would be criticized even if he successfully eliminated Voldemort.

Edward looked at the parents who were messily surrounding him, and looked down in thought.

At this time, on the opposite side of the magic barrier, a group of students and professors of the Academy of Magic were escorted out of the gate by the Death Eaters, standing in a row in the square with their hands tied. Behind them was none other than Snape, the current dean and Edward's former confidant.

Seeing their children being tied up like prisoners on the execution ground, a large number of parents began to cry bitterly, and some even fainted because they could not bear to see such a scene.

"Edward, long time no see. Snape looked at Edward with a twinkle in his eyes, and said to him with a magic amplification.

"Snape, you've disappointed me, where the disgusting-looking Hogwarts professor has gone. Edward said in the same way.

"I was a Death Eater by heart, and your own vision is inaccurate. Snape smiled bitterly, "Now, I'm here to convey Voldemort's master's orders. You, Edward Lee, take off your armor, put down your weapons and gloves, and stand alone at the wooden bridge! If you refuse, I will kill a cadet every minute. ”

"You're going to be attacked by my magic. As a reward for this game, for every minute you persevere, we'll release a student!"

As soon as Snape's words came out, the parents all looked at Edward with complicated expressions.

Edward raised an eyebrow and immediately began to take off his armor without hesitation.

"No, Edward, you can't promise him!" Hermione said anxiously, "This is Voldemort's conspiracy, he will never play this game with you fairly!"

"Trust me, Hermione, it's the best of all my abilities. Edward smiled and patted Hermione's hand, "And I also believe that Snape will not defect!"
