Chapter 107: To the Warriors, to the Dead, to Yourself! (End of Volume IV)

The professors and principals in the faculty seat had their own concerns, and the student benches below were also in a mess at this time.

However, the students still had smiles on their faces, and it was clear that they were not affected by what happened in the referee's box on the day of the Six Finals Tournament, and they didn't know what had happened during that time.

Only Fleur learned a lot of important news, but she kept her agreement with Harley and didn't reveal it to the outside world.

At this time, Fleur sat beside Harley with concern in her face, and whispered to Harley:

"Hallie, aren't you really thinking about moving to Beauxbatons to continue the rest of your studies? Ms. Maxim said she would be more than happy to accept you. ”

"And Mr. Nicol Lemay is willing to teach you alchemy there himself, and your learning effect will not be much worse than at Hogwarts."

"Now that British Dark Lord Voldemort has come back to life, and he still has a hatred for you."

"He's in the dark, you're in the light, how can you keep an eye out for him all the time?"

"So Britain is too dangerous for you right now, you really should think about it and leave yourself a way out."

Although Gabrielle on the side didn't understand what was going on, she nodded again and again, expecting that Hallie's sister could go to Beauxbatons to go to school.

On the other side of Hallie, Hermione was listening intently to the conversation.

When she heard Fleur's suggestion, she glared at Fleur angrily, but she didn't refute it for the first time.

After all, what Fleur said was all the truth, and it was a more cost-effective solution from Hallie's point of view.

It's a pity that Hallie shook her head and righteously rejected Fleur: "Sorry, Fleur, I won't be going to Beauxbatons." ”

"As a wizard of Great Britain who grew up in this land, as a student who attended Hogwarts for four years, how could I abandon my school at such a time?"

Of course, this is only a superficial statement.

The real reason is: just kidding, how could it be possible for Harley to abandon her hard-earned anchor and run away!

More importantly, what is Voldemort? It's just an experience baby who provides materials for himself and helps him accumulate anchors!

He also deserves to call himself the Dark Lord? It's just a shockwave!

Fleur, who didn't know the truth, was still worried, but she was touched by Harley's spirit.

Aren't the wizards of France lacking this spirit of Hallie? If they had a little backbone, the French "military salute" would not be so famous and enjoy an international "reputation".

A hint of strangeness flashed in Fleur's eyes, and she stopped persuading, just gave Harley a hug:

"If the situation is really too bad to be recovered, you must not insist, and you will move the position when it is time to do so."

Hallie smiled and didn't say anything more.

…………

The dinner finally began, and Professor Dumbledore stood up from the long table in the faculty seat.

The noisy auditorium fell completely silent in an instant, and became silent. Everyone looked at the old man with a white beard.

"Another year," Professor Dumbledore said aloud, looking around the Great Hall, "the semester is over. ”

"It's been a great year as we re-hosted the Triwizard Tournament and upgraded it to become the Six-Wizard Tournament."

"And the final result is also very clear, after the competition, Harley Potter won the championship of this competition."

Although it had already been celebrated once, there was renewed applause in the auditorium.

Amid the applause, Professor Dumbledore raised his hand, and the auditorium suddenly became quiet again.

"The purpose of the Six Powers Tournament is to promote mutual understanding in the wizarding world, so that the future of the magical community of various countries can communicate, enhance mutual understanding, and generate strong friendships."

Professor Dumbledore paused slightly, and raised the glass in his hand,

"For the sake of everyone's quality time together throughout the year, and for the sake of the friendship between our six magic schools, let's raise a glass together!"

The students stood up, and the auditorium was filled with the sound of stools moving.

After everyone was seated, Professor Dumbledore slowly moved on to the most important topic:

"I know you've been wondering about what happened on the day of the third event of the Final Six Tournament all this time."

"Indeed, there were quite a few unexpected things that happened that day."

"In the umpire, Mr. Barty Crouch suddenly used spells indiscriminately, even using the Diamond Heart Charm on Fudge and the Reeling Charm on me."

"And something unknown happened in the labyrinth, Harley mysteriously disappeared and returned more than an hour later."

"And in the period after the competition, everyone must have wondered why I was constantly missing, and why the professors looked so anxious."

"I think everybody is hungry for the truth."

All eyes were on Professor Dumbledore, and the students pricked up their ears.

After a three-minute pause and glancing, Professor Dumbledore spoke slowly:

"I regret to inform you all here...... Voldemort was resurrected, on the night of the Final Six of the Tournament! ”

Shocking whispers rang out in the auditorium, and many of the students stared at Professor Dumbledore in disbelief with horror on their faces, as if he had just drunk too much mead and was talking incomprehensible nonsense.

Many of the students at the Slytherin table didn't look shocked or frightened, apparently they already knew something.

"Yes, on that night, the Death Eaters manipulated Mr. Barty Crouch with the Imperius Curse to create chaos and resurrect their master, Lord Voldemort."

"The trophy of the Grand Six Tournament was also turned into a portkey by them, and Harley Potter, as the first person to touch the trophy, was naturally swept away by the portkey."

"It took a big battle before Hallie was able to return to us."

A lot of eyes were on Hallie in an instant, including the professors in the faculty chair.

Under the gaze of most wizards, Harley took a sip of tea with poise.

"The Ministry of Magic doesn't want me to tell you this, and many of my classmates' parents may be shocked by what I've done."

Professor Dumbledore's voice grew deeper,

"I think some of them don't think it's something that you minors should be exposed to, and some of them simply don't want to believe it."

"But my personality and heart refuse to lie, and I believe that the truth is always more valuable than a lie."

"I hope I'm mistaken, that Voldemort isn't resurrected, and that it's all just me being alarmist."

"But what I'm saying is an irrefutable truth, and we're going to have a dark and difficult time."

"I know everybody's scared, and I'm scared, but I guess we're afraid in different places."

"I'm afraid I'll never see you young faces anymore who are eager to go to school, I'm afraid I'll see the children who have just graduated disappear into the darkness without a trace, I'm afraid your families will be torn apart by those inhuman thugsβ€”"

"And that's exactly what I saw during the years of the First Wizarding War."

"I remember it forever and am bitter and terrified by it."

"I would be afraid of this wizarding world, but Voldemort, I will never be afraid of him."

"Because I believe that love, friendship, integrity, kindness, and courage are the most powerful forces, and Voldemort is vulnerable to them!"

"It's like thirteen years ago, Voldemort fell under the magic of love and was defeated by Hallie."

"Four years ago, he tried to seize the Philosopher's Stone, but once again fell to Harley's men."

"Three years ago, the descendants of Slytherin opened the Chamber of Secrets, and Voldemort tried to resurrect it once at that time, but was still defeated by Hallie."

"And that night not long ago, although he managed to resurrect and regain most of his strength, he was still beaten by Harley and fled."

"Such a loser, he is cruel, but he doesn't understand love, friendship, or the beauty of the world."

"He's been failing, and he's running away from it, like a coward. Why should we be afraid of him? ”

"I hope that everyone can also summon up the courage not to fear him, because fear makes the darkness stronger."

"At the end of the dinner, let's pay tribute to Harley Potter, to all those who fought valiantly against Voldemort, to all those who died fighting Voldemort."

"Also, let's honor ourselves!"

Professor Dumbledore raised his glass high again and drank it down.

The professors and students also stood up neatly, holding their cups aloft.

…………

Professor Dumbledore's speech had a huge impact on the young wizards.

Although it was night, it was not the right time to send letters, but the owls were still flying out of the castle in large numbers.

By the next morning, at least half of the parents had learned of Professor Dumbledore's statement, and had begun to prepare to send a new round of howling letters to Fudgeβ€”

I don't know if it's true or not, but there's never too much wrong with what a great wizard like Headmaster Dumbledore.

In addition to delivering news to the outside world, the students' hearts are full of struggle and curiosity.

They don't want to believe in Voldemort's resurrection and try to numb themselves with lies, but they are curious about what happened that night and want to inquire about the details of Voldemort's resurrection.

In particular, Professor Dumbledore revealed to everyone that Voldemort had tried to resurrect twice four years ago and three years ago!

Isn't it pure seductive curiosity that such a big thing has happened, and the students don't know it?

The little wizards have evolved into Ru in the melon field, constantly jumping up and down.

And after digging deeper, I really don't know where to dig some news.

These messages include, but are not limited to–

Four years ago, the mysterious man lodged on Professor Quirrell in an attempt to recreate a body from the blood of a unicorn and the precious Philosopher's Stone;

Three years ago, it was actually the mysterious man who secretly manipulated Professor Lockhart, controlling him to open the secret room and help the mysterious man prepare for the resurrection ceremony;

And on the night of the Six Wizard Tournament, Harry Potter was indeed sent to the resurrection scene of the mysterious man by the Portkey.

As a result, after the mystery man was resurrected, Harley single-handedly defeated the mystery man, and along the way, captured a large number of Death Eaters.

I don't know where this information came from, and it seems that the person concerned has experienced everything.

The students naturally believed it, and at least they had a very pleasant time eating melons.

The initiator was very satisfied with this, especially with the fact that the quality and quantity of his anchors had once again been greatly improved.

The students' melon-eating meeting didn't last long.

Early the next morning, all the luggage was loaded onto the train and the students were going home.

When they returned home, they would bring back detailed versions of Dumbledore's speech and all the rumors they had heard at school, and bring them to their parents who had no idea or knew nothing about it.

And with their help, this information will be disseminated in the wizarding world in a new round.

Before leaving Hogwarts, Harley had to say goodbye to the Delacour sisters.

By this time, the rest of the schools had left, leaving Beauxbatons' carriage parked outside the Hogwarts gates.

"Hallie, aren't you really going to go to France with us?"

Next to the carriage, Fleur was reluctant to let go of her hand, and asked while hugging Harley.

"Sister Hallie, come with us to Beauxbatons." Gabrielle also persuaded pitifully.

"Of course," Harley deliberately ignored Hermione's deathful gaze, "but not now. ”

"During this holiday, Professor Flitwick invited me to Spain to participate in the International Wizarding Duel Tournament during the holidays, and I certainly wouldn't miss it."

"Besides, Professor Dumbledore seems to have a surprise in store for me, suggesting that I am in a foreign country."

"I guess both of these trips will pass through Paris, right?"

Fleur sighed and shook her head with a sad face:

"Well, in that case, you must contact me when the time comes, and let me do my best to be a landlord."

…………

The train back was noisy, and the young wizards were making the most of their last moments of magic while continuing to share their melons.

But Hallie wasn't much affected, just reading the book with Hermione in the box at the end of the train.

Unfortunately, the tranquility did not last long.

Halfway through the trip, Fred and George made a special trip to share the opening of the store with key shareholders.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's it for the latest sales. I have to say that after you won the championship, the sales of many products have increased significantly. ”

George said excitedly, his eyes full of dreams.

"Speaking of which, the news you asked us to spread out spread really fast."

After talking about important business information, Fred chatted with Harley while eating Bibi multi-flavored beans.

The news that was circulating in Hogwarts was spread by him and George at Hallie's behest.

"Harley, why do you need us to spread the word?" George couldn't help but be a little curious about this,

"Shouldn't these messages be classified?"

"A lot of times, instead of letting other young wizards think about it, it's better to just tell them something they can know."

Harley shook her head and whispered,

"Keeping it mysterious only makes people more afraid of Voldemort, and that's exactly what Voldemort wants."

Fred and George quickly figured this out, and couldn't help but suddenly realize.

"Hallie, do you want to come to the Burrow during the holidays?" Fred suddenly remembered something else,

"I'm talking about our house, and we call it the Burrow, after all, it's a bit shabby...... Speaking of which, you've never been to our house yet. ”

"Ginnico is your biggest fan, and she's in your various support clubs."

"Our little sister often wants to invite you to play at home, but unfortunately I haven't found a chance to speak."

"Mom also wants to get to know you, after all, the last Quidditch World Cup was led by Dad to us, and Mom didn't go with her."

"I'll think about it, if I have time." Hallie didn't make a decision directly,

"After all, Professor Flitwick plans to take me out for dueling matches during the holidays, and I don't know if I have time."

"Wow!" The Weasley twins' attention was suddenly diverted, "Duel match...... We want to go too! ”

For the rest of the journey, Harley completely lost the right to read in peace.

Teammates from the Quidditch team, younger Gryffindor students, and friends from Hallie's houses......

As if agreed, everyone squeezed into this box one after another, inquiring about all kinds of news.

Amid the noise and laughter, the train pulled into King's Cross Station.
