Chapter 465 The End of the Semester (Modified)

At the year-end banquet, when Alan rushed to the auditorium, it was already full of people. The Great Hall was redecorated in the blue and silver colors of Ravenclaw to celebrate their return to the House Cup. On the wall behind the guest table hung a huge banner depicting a Ravenclaw eagle.

When Dumbledore announced that Ravenclaw had won the House Champion Cup again, the little wizards of Ravenclaw raised their glasses to celebrate under the envious eyes of other little wizards. For them, winning the Academy Cup is no longer something to celebrate, it's the norm. It would be a rare thing if he didn't get the Academy Cup!

"It's another excellent year, and I must say, Ravenclaw has done a great job," said Dumbledore, looking at everyone, "but at the same time, I must once again solemnly tell you one thing— — Voldemort is back."

There was a murmur in the auditorium, and it gradually fell silent. This was not the first time Dumbledore had announced this news, but everyone still stared at Dumbledore suspiciously.

Although Dumbledore is considered to be the greatest white wizard of all time, the heavy news he cast is really amazing. There is no reasonable reason and conclusive evidence. Except for a few of his diehards, almost no one wants to believe this news.

"The Ministry of Magic doesn't want me to tell you this," continued Dumbledore. "Some of the parents of some of my classmates might be shocked by what I did - either because they couldn't believe that Voldemort had really returned, or because they thought I shouldn't have told you this because you are young. However, I believe it is always better to tell the truth than to lie, and if we try to hide the news, we may be caught off guard and suffer even more. harm."

At this time, every face in the auditorium was facing Dumbledore, and the expressions on each face were different, such as the pale Neville, the angry Harry, the expressionless Alan, the arrogant The elite wizards who already belonged to the Harris family...

"The purpose of the Wizarding Tournament is to enhance and foster mutual understanding within the wizarding community. In light of what is happening now - in light of Voldemort's return - this connection is more important than ever," Dumbledore added.

Dumbledore looked at Ms. Maxime and Hagrid, at Karkaroff who was a little flustered sitting on the teacher's bench, at Fleur Delacour and her Beauxbatons alumni, and at Stanley Viktor Krum and Durmstrang's classmates at Leitlin's table.

Krum and Kara looked tense, even a little scared, as if they expected Dumbledore to say something harsh.

"Every guest in this Hall," said Dumbledore, his eyes resting on Durmstrang's fellow students, "is welcome to come back at any time. I repeat to all of you— —Given Voldemort's return from the dead, we are only as strong as we are united; we are weaker as we are divided. Voldemort created conflict and enmity with great skill. We can only fight it if we demonstrate the same unbreakable friendship and trust. As long as we The goal is the same, the heart is open, and the difference of habits and language will not be an obstacle."

After the year-end banquet, it means the end of the semester and parting.

For Karkaroff, who was about to leave Hogwarts, leaving the protection of Dumbledore and the Harris family made him particularly flustered. Especially after he heard that Len Harris had been promoted and couldn't protect him back to Durmstrang.

Therefore, he sent letters to Owen Harris many times before and after, strongly requesting additional guards to ensure his personal safety.

Outside Hogwarts Castle, below the stone steps in the foyer, Allen was seeing Fleur Delacour off. On the other side of the field behind her, Hagrid was helping Madame Maxime harness two giant horses, and Beauxbaton's carriage was about to set off.

Seeing this, Harry and Ron hurried down the steps to say goodbye to Fleur.

"We will meet soon," Fu Rong shook her long hair,

Smiling to Harry, "I found a job at the British Ministry of Magic, and my English may improve soon."

"Your English is already very good." Ron's voice sounded a little pretentious behind them.

"I have to thank Mrs. Morgan Le Fay Harris. Thanks to her, I can get this job." Fleur nodded.

Ron's face flushed suddenly, and he looked as if he had just swallowed an egg raw and accidentally stuck it in his throat.

"Harry, Ron, goodbye. It's a pleasure to see you this time." Fleur turned around with a smile, gave each of them a big hug and left.

Allen watched Fleur rushing along the lawn towards Ms. Maxim, her silver hair rippling like waves in the sun, and his mood couldn't help but cheer up.

Viktor Krum came to say goodbye to Hermione.

"Can I say a few words to you?" he asked Hermione.

"Oh, of course." Hermione replied, but her body didn't move at all.

"Hermien, I hope to see you again in the future." Krum's voice was hoarse and dull.

Hermione looked at Alan who was already sitting in the carriage pulled by thestrals not far away, with a smile on her face. Allen was looking at her nervously, beckoning her to pass.

Hermione, who was in a good mood, took the initiative to reach out to Krum.

Krum looked both surprised and delighted, and quickly took Hermione's hand.

Hermione smiled and said, "I hope you can find the right one for you."

"Then Hermione, goodbye." Hearing this, Krum gave Hermione a sad look for the last time, and he finally called her by the right name this time.

Ron on the side moved slightly. Judging from Ron's expression, he seemed to be enduring some kind of painful inner conflict. He raised his head suddenly, and happened to meet Krum's eyes.

The two looked at each other in embarrassment for a few seconds, and then they were suddenly awakened by a "hissing" beside them, and at the same time turned their heads away from looking at each other.

And Draco didn't know when he appeared behind them. Pansy was helping him with his hand on his chin nervously, and he kept muttering: "This is the consequence of going to Muggles for dental treatment. I heard that Muggles The main job of a dentist is a hairdresser, but you really shouldn’t eat so much sugar right after seeing your teeth. Didn’t they tell you not to eat it for a few days? You want to ridicule Ron that they should let me come Say, don't open your mouth again."

On their way back to King's Cross, the weather was nothing like it had been when they had come to Hogwarts last September. The sky was cloudless.

Allen, Luna, and Hermione walked straight to the end of the train, and the box at that end had been defaulted by the little wizards as Allen's exclusive box. Interestingly speaking, the carriages of the prefects and student union chairmen are at the front of the train, and the little wizards pass by without any burden on their hearts. On the contrary, the most end is defaulted to be Allen's box, and no one will easily disturb it.

"This summer vacation, you should spare as much time as possible. We are going to conduct special combat training. Voldemort is indeed back. We must strengthen our combat experience and strengthen our own strength." Allen opened a chocolate frog and saw that the card was himself portrait of smiling.

Hermione was taken aback when she heard the words, and Allen instantly understood her thoughts: "Principal Dumbledore wants to push Harry to the foreground so that he can fulfill his so-called prophecy, and we can just use the struggle between them to gain time to grow Believe me, Hermione, I will defeat Voldemort myself. The conflict between the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore next year may make it a little difficult for you to be caught between Harry and me. We need to bear with it. If we fight Fudge now, it will To waste unnecessarily the strength that we had at first, that we could have saved up to deal with Voldemort and his Death Eaters later on."

Hermione nodded, as if she had found a reason for herself not to ask more about it.

And Luna glanced at him lightly: "We will see each other often."

Allen straightened his body, and after a fake cough, he pretended to be serious and explained: "I copied the projection from the battle between Dumbledore and Voldemort, which is a good learning material. Luna, you should let your wand grow as soon as possible , In order to be able to absorb the soul and strengthen yourself, this requires a lot of practice, and what kind of magical creature do you want as the object of the Animagus, we can find it by ourselves during the free time of the summer vacation, by the way Holiday travel."
