Chapter 839 Conflict Breaks Out
"You're targeting my mother," Seamus growled.
"I would just target anyone who calls me a liar," Harry said.
"Don't talk to me that way!"
"I'll talk to you the way I want to talk to you," Harry said, his anger rising, and he grabbed his wand from the bedside table. "If you think there's a problem with living in the same dormitory as me, then ask Professor McGonagall if he can change it for you so that your mother won't worry -"
"Don't involve my mother, Potter!"
"What's wrong?" Ron appeared at the door. He looked at Harry with wide eyes, who was kneeling on the bed and pointing his wand at Seamus, and then looked at Seamus, who was also very angry.
"He's targeting my mother!" Seamus shouted.
"What?" said Ron. "Harry wouldn't do that - we met your mother and liked her..."
"That was before she believed every word written about me in the Daily Prophet!" Harry said at the top of his voice.
"Oh," a look of understanding appeared on Ron's freckled face. "Oh yes."
"What do you know?" Seamus said excitedly, giving Ron a malicious glance. "He's right. I never want to live in the same dormitory with him again. He's crazy."
"You've lost your mind, Seamus," said Ron, his ears starting to turn red - usually a sign of danger.
"Losing my mind, am I?" shouted Seamus, who, in contrast to Ron, paled. "You believe his nonsense about Voldemort, don't you? Do you think he's telling the truth?"
"Yes, I believe it!" Ron said angrily.
"Then you're crazy too," Seamus said in disgust.
"Really? Well, man, unfortunately, I'm still a prefect!" Ron pointed at his chest with a finger. "Watch what you say if you don't want to be incarcerated!"
Seamus thought for a few seconds as though confinement was a fair price to pay for what he had said; but with a squeak on his heels, Seamus jumped onto the bed, fiercely pulled down the curtains, and removed them from The bed was torn apart and left in a dusty heap on the floor.
Ron stared at him, then looked at Thomas and Neville. "Who else's parents are dissatisfied with Harry?" he said somewhat aggressively.
"My parents are Muggles, man," Thomas said with a shrug. "They don't know anything about Hogwarts, and I'm not stupid enough to tell them that."
"You don't know my mother, she will tell anyone anything!" Seamus snapped. "Anyway, your parents won't read the Daily Prophet. They won't know that our headmaster has been expelled by the Wizards' Jury and the International Wizards' Union for losing his mind—"
"My grandma said that was bullshit," Neville shrieked. "She said it was the Daily Prophet that was falling, not Dumbledore. She stopped subscribing. We believe Harry," Neville said simply. He climbed onto the bed, pulled the quilt up to his chin, and looked at Seamus seriously. "My grandma always said that Voldemort would come back one day. She said that if Dumbledore said he was back, he really was."
Harry felt a sudden surge of gratitude towards Neville. No one said another word. Seamus lowered his wand, mended the curtains on the bed and disappeared inside. Thomas got on the bed, turned over and fell silent. Neville, who seemed to have nothing to say, was looking lovingly at his strange plant illuminated by the moonlight.
While Ron hurriedly stood by the bed cleaning things from his bed, Harry lay down on the pillows.
He was shocked to have such an argument with Seamus, whom he had always liked very much.
So, how many people will think he is lying? Or do you think he's insane? Did Dumbledore experience something like this throughout the summer? First the Wizarding Jury, then the International Confederation of Wizards, excluded him. Could he be angry with Harry, and perhaps that's why Dumbledore hadn't spoken to him in months?
But after all, they were in the same situation; Dumbledore trusted him, Harry, and announced what he said to the entire school, teachers and students, and the wizarding world outside.
If anyone thought Harry was a liar, he must also think so of Dumbledore, otherwise Dumbledore was deceived.
One day they will know we are right.
Harry thought miserably as Ron climbed into bed and blew out the last candle in the dormitory. But he wanted to know how many more attacks like Seamus would come his way before that day came.
There is no doubt that this is not the case.
It can be seen from the weird look in his eyes after getting on the train. There is no doubt that he is the focus now because of his lies?
lie?
Why didn't anyone ask Cedric?
Well, Cedric is also a poor man who was forced to change his identity as a human wizard and became a vampire, living on that viscous liquid every day.
Harry felt very sorry for Cedric. If he hadn't insisted on dragging Cedric along with him, Cedric wouldn't be like this.
To face Voldemort and almost die there.
There seemed to be no difference between becoming a vampire and dying in that cemetery. Suddenly Harry was a little glad that Cedric did not stay in Hogwarts. Otherwise, would Cedric also be subject to this kind of doubt?
Or complete silence?
It would be impossible for Fan Lin to silence Cedric. Harry knew very well that with Fan Lin's character, he would do what was beneficial to things, but this would definitely be a very big burden for Cedric.
Just like the heir of Slytherin who was questioned at the time, in the eyes of more people, he is now an out-and-out liar, together with his crazy principal.
And that Umbridge, it made Harry feel really bad.
From where that woman sits, it makes people feel uncomfortable, and from everyone's attitude, it is obvious that few people will like this guy, and she is also from the Ministry of Magic, working for Fudge...
How could Dumbledore allow Umbridge, a guy who was obviously here to cause trouble, to become their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?
Harry couldn't figure out why Dumbledore would cause trouble for him, but...
Maybe Hogwarts was not as good as imagined. At least when he was in the Order of the Phoenix, no one went back to question him, but it was different here. (To be continued)
