Chapter 57: The Holidays Begin
It was nearly midnight, and the two of them were the only ones left in the Hufflepuff lounge
"Dumbledore has rewarded you," Betty said
"! You know that! Ivy was amazed at Betty's intuition
"You can guess by looking at the way you hide it during the day"
During the day, Ron and the others asked for a long time, and Ivey kept being sloppy.
"So powerful, then guess what was given to me?"
"What else can there be - academy points, medals?" Betty was pretty much what he had thought at first
"Wow" Ivy decisively took out the Philosopher's Stone and threw it at her
"A ruby? It's ok," Betty fiddled with the stone
"This is not an ordinary gem, it is a philosopher's stone"
"Philosopher's Stone? It's the Philosopher's Stone of Immortality! Generous spending—"
"Good things are good things, they just don't work for us." Ivy lay upright on the couch
"Anyway, it's famous, so it's okay to keep it and bluff people......

On the third day, Harry finally woke up. Dumbledore had also told everyone what had happened that night in the past two days, except for his part.
Unsurprisingly, with the exception of the Slytherin students, the other young wizards were impressed by the bravery of the three Harry. Harry was the brightest of them all. The savior once again thwarted the conspiracy of the mysterious man - and such news spread.
"We've only been five minutes" in front of the hospital, Ron was grinding with Pomfrey.
"No way!"
"But you let Professor Dumbledore in!" Ron looked at her disapprovingly
"yes. He's the headmaster~ There must be privileges," Ms. Pomfrey said naturally
"Please, we won't bother him" Hermione joined in
"Alright, alright, but—only five minutes," Madam Pomfrey may have been annoyed
"Thank you, you are so open-minded"
The four of them entered the hospital, and Harry was alone in the empty room, who lay quietly on his bed in deep thought. At the bedside, the gifts from the worshippers had been piled up into a small mountain.
"Harry!" Ron yelled
Harry turned his head and saw several people running towards him.
"How does it feel?" Hermione asked
"It's okay, it's just that my head hurts a little."
"We've wanted to come in and see you, but you've been talking to Professor Dumbledore." Ron squeezed over
"Well, we talked for a while. The Headmaster just answered a lot of my questions," Harry nodded
"Really! Tell us about it," Ron urged eagerly as he sat on the edge of the bed
"Like Ivy said, it's Dumbledore who has been guiding me to the point of suspicion. In order to facilitate movement, the invisibility cloak was also given. He told me that the Cloak of Invisibility had been given to him by my father."
"It's too risky! What if, I mean, if you're in danger? Hermione didn't understand
"It's okay, Professor Dumbledore has been protecting me in the shadows" Harry didn't care
"Anything else?" Ron continued to ask
"And then there's Voldemort—"
"Please—Harry, don't say that name," Ron was a little apprehensive
"Ron, we beat him! No need to be intimidated! Dumbledore said that fear of a title deepens fear of the thing itself. Harry snapped
"That's right. Ron, Voldemort is nothing to fear. Not only did he lose to Harry, he lost to us. Isn't it~" Ivey echoed in
"That's right," Hermione, a Muggle-born, was less afraid of Voldemort
"Uh- I'll try to get over it" Ron had heard horror stories about the Dark Lord since he was a child, and it wasn't realistic for him to change immediately.
I continued. Voldemort never really disappeared, and although he was now very weak, he remained in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback. ”
"Then why didn't Dumbledore find him and kill him while he was weak?" Hermione asked
"Dumbledore said that Voldemort was now half-alive and half-dead, and no one could kill him. And I am responsible for his fate like this, and Voldemort will definitely try his best to get revenge. That's why Dumbledore guided me to face Voldemort and prepare myself mentally for it. ”
"I still don't think it's the right arrangement. Harry, you're human! Not a tool! Hermione didn't accept that
So, the professor said. This is the first and last time. "Harry wasn't really well, either
"That's good," Hermione satisfied
"Unfortunately, because you were unconscious, you didn't make it to the last Quidditch Cup. Without you, we'd be beaten to the ground by Ravenclaw. Luckily, Gryffindor won the House Cup! Ron was both regretful and happy
"It's okay, Harry is only in his first year, come back next year," Ivey reassured
"Well, yes," Harry thought more openly, "but the semester is almost over, and we're going to be separated"
"We're just on vacation, not dead, and we'll be in touch for the summer," Ron said
"Alright," Hermione said happily

Outside King's Cross train station
"Ivey, Betty~" As soon as the two of them stepped out of the platform, they saw Erin waving at them
"I miss me—"
Walking forward, Erin kissed her and hugged her fiercely. At this time, the passenger driver's door was also opened, and Wendy walked out.
"Auntie"
Wendy was much softer, and she just hugged the two gently.
"Let's go, go home"

Dinner
"It's really ghostly~"
At the dinner table, Ivy told them what had happened this semester. Erin sighed
"What is Dumbledore going to do?" Wendy asked
"Voldemort can't be killed now, and Old Deng doesn't have a good way. He wanted to train Harry and let him deal with Voldemort in the future. Ivy didn't stop talking and gulped down the food.
Now that the weather is getting hotter, they rarely eat hot pot. Ivy simply made a table of home-cooked dishes and steamed a few drawers of beef buns. The three ladies also liked this way of eating.
"Harry Potter? The reputation is very good. I also observed it when I picked you up, but I didn't feel anything special. Can he defeat Voldemort? Wendy tore a piece of bread, her beautiful face unwavering. The indifferent tone did not have the slightest hint of ridicule or sarcasm, as if it were stating the facts.
Unlike other wizards, Wendy didn't believe in the idea that a savior had defeated a mystery man in the first place. She thought that Harry's escape must have been the result of James and Lily's death.
"What can you see when you meet simply~" Ivey didn't refute either, "At least his three views are quite complete, stronger than Malfoy and the like." Besides, even if he can't do it, won't he still have me~ Sensei worried"
"You?" Erin turned her head casually and glanced him up and down, "You can't even beat me now, right?"
"Not necessarily. Besides, you two are not cabbages. Without Voldemort, even Oddfall wouldn't be a match for the two of you. ”
Erin and Wendy are strong. Just a single mother can take her child to escape the Death Eaters, you can imagine it. At least the Ministry of Magic's rice buckets are far inferior to them.
"What's more, I'm only twelve years old, and when I finish refining my body, in two or three years, I can cut off Voldemort's head." Ivy was confident, especially after the news of the Demon Breaker.
Even if these people are much stronger than the original book, they will not be his opponents in the future. With Betty on her side, Ivy was able to pick them up as a whole group.
"Don't be careless. After all, you're the last man of our two families~" Wendy said playfully as she shook her glass
"Just believe me" didn't say anything grandiose, just responded with a smile. He turned to Erin again, "Is the bone quenching potion done?" ”
"It's been done a long time ago. You pick a time, and the place is in our backyard. Erin replied
"Still outside the house? There's a lot of movement? Ivey began to make up for it, and the scene of shaking the ground and mountains caused by the promotion of the male protagonist of the novel was "Well, it's also reasonable"
"It's not a lot of movement, it's a matter of the venue. In short, I'm a professional, just listen to me. Erin didn't bother to explain to him
"Okay, now that you're ready, let's do it the day after tomorrow. Prepare for these two days, and set it up again. ”
