For Dumbledore, and for most of the professors, today was destined to be a sleepless night.

The next day, Kyle discovers that there are suddenly fewer people in the castle.

Sirius was gone, along with Snape and Professor Moody.

Hagrid and Ms. Maxim of Beauxbatons also seem to have gone to the principal's office.

"We could have stayed a few more days." "But Ms. Maxim insisted on leaving today, she seemed to have something important, I asked, but she wouldn't tell me." ”

They were outside the castle, ready to see off the Beauxbatons students.

The door to Hagrid's hut was closed, and the tall runes pulled carriages the size of the house to a stop in the open space not far ahead.

As for Durmstrang's students...... Maybe he got some news, as early as the early hours of the morning, another professor in the same group drove back in that boat, and also took away Victor Klum, who was recuperating from his injuries.

Soon, all the Beauxbatons students were in the carriage, poking their heads out of the doors and windows and waving goodbye to their new friends outside.

Fleur delivered Gabrielle and a suitcase to the carriage, then turned and hugged Connor.

She was actually quite reluctant in her heart, and this year at Hogwarts was the best school life she had ever experienced.

She was also very reluctant to give up on the Hufflepuff house dormitory, where most people were sincere and didn't get along with each other for any purpose.

Although those boys were inevitably influenced by her girly blood, they didn't make any rude or annoying behaviors.

There are also girls who rarely have jealousy in their eyes.

The influence of the half-breed girl is minimized here.

The situation of the other three houses was unclear to Fleur, but Hufflepuff was arguably the house life she wanted the most.

It's a pity that the Triwizard Tournament is over, and she has to go back, but fortunately, she will graduate this year and can come here again at any time.

At this time, Professor Rocknier's urging voice was also heard from the carriage.

Fleur gave Kyle a final hug before quickly turning around and running back to the carriage.

A few minutes later, the huge rune horse soared into the air, pulling the carriage into the distance.

The carriage grew smaller and smaller, until it was no longer visible, and the people on the grounds returned to the castle.

Although there were only about two dozen students missing, the auditorium seemed to suddenly become a lot empty.

"I still don't realize that the Triwizard Tournament is over."

"yes, Hogwarts is so lively this year......"

"Hopefully there will be more competitions like this in the future, I think it's a lot more exciting than Quidditch."

"What did you say?"

"Triwizard Tournament isn't as good as Quidditch!"

Similar voices can be heard all over the castle, but some people are not in the mood.

Cedric, Cho, Fred and George, they have been preoccupied since the morning.

"Kyle, are you sure you're not kidding, the mystery man is really back?"

"I'm pretty sure, Fred." Kyle said, "You've asked three times in this hour, and Mrs. Weasley knows about it, so you could write a letter to the family." ”

"Of course we believe you......," said George, "but it's unbelievable, and you'll have to give us some time to accept it." ”

Kyle glanced at them, "Seriously, I always thought you were going to be a little better than Cedric, but he only asked twice. ”

"We've got to react normally." Fred exaggeratedly said, "That's a mysterious man, is there anyone in the entire wizarding world who can accept his comeback?" ”

"Not a single one." George said categorically.

"We won't be able to come to school next year."

At this time, Qiu, who had been silent, suddenly said: "If Voldemort attacks Hogwarts, then the school will definitely be closed......

"You can rest assured of that." Kyle waved his hand and said, "Even more than a decade ago, when the Death Eaters were at their highest, Hogwarts was never closed, and it was the only place where students could be sheltered, unless they didn't want to......

"And the situation you said can't happen anytime soon, after all, Voldemort has just been resurrected now......"

"Oh, please Kyle, can you stop saying that name?" Fred said with a bitter face, "Every time you say it, my legs shake a little." ”

"Hmm...... All right. ”

Kyle thought about it for a moment, and it dawned on him that this really needed attention...... Voldemort had magically applied the name, and as soon as someone said it, he would immediately know where the other person was.

Kyle isn't afraid, but there are other people around, and it's not good to bother them.

"Mystery......" Kyle continued, "he's only just resurrected now, and there's still a lot to do...... Gather your subordinates and strengthen your power, and you can't take care of it here for the time being.

"And Professor Dumbledore just surprised him yesterday, and he probably wouldn't have the courage to come to Hogwarts to find trouble anytime soon."

"It's a shame." George sighed faintly, "Why didn't Dumbledore kill him again?" ”

"Because of the ...... Mystery people are not stupid. Kyle said, "There's no way he's going to fight Professor Dumbledore when he's just been resurrected." ”

"I know......" George muttered, "I'm just thinking about it, and it would be nice if it was really that." ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Fred sighed as well.

……

The Ministry of Magic moved faster than Kyle had thought.

By the next morning, a new Daily Prophet had been delivered to Hogwarts.

But it doesn't mention anything related to Voldemort, but about Harry, I don't know if it's Fudge's request, and the newspapers portray Harry as a mentally abnormal figure.

He also said that in order to be in the limelight, he made up an outrageous story, saying that he was kidnapped by the Death Eaters, in a vain attempt to use the scar on his forehead and Voldemort to win everyone's attention.

Then, when it was time for dinner, Dumbledore arrived, first denying the denigration of Harry in the Daily Prophet, and then asking everyone not to disturb Harry and not to ask him questions.

In the days that followed, no one was talking about the Triwizard Tournament that had just ended, or the other two schools that had left, and everyone was talking about what was in the newspapers, or whether Harry was really getting attention.

However, Dumbledore's words also worked, and at his request, everyone did not pester Harry to ask questions.

It's a bit too much of an effect, though, as most people have been avoiding Harry lately, occasionally walking around him in the hallways, covering their mouths with their hands and whispering to each other.

Without exception, these people were more inclined to the statement in the Daily Prophet that Harry had come up with this reason because he was not a warrior and was unbalanced.

But Harry himself didn't care, as long as Hermione and Ron didn't suspect him, it was enough.

Just as Kyle told Connor and Cedric the truth, Harry didn't hide it from his friends.

Thankfully, they all believed.

Fudge thought it was a joke that his scar would ache and he didn't believe it anyway, but Hermione and Ron didn't, and when they were in the dorm room, Ron called Fudge an idiot.

This made Harry very happy.
