Chapter 845 The So-Called Hero
While the research on Horcruxes was at a standstill, Ivan's exploration of the Deluminator made good progress. He successfully deciphered the magic attached to it by Dumbledore, but the results left him speechless.
After the Deluminator is fully charged with magic power, it can communicate with people from a distance, as long as you are thinking about the other person.
This looks a bit like a gadget used by couples to enhance their relationship.
Of course, it can also be used to convey information.
However, this thing has no effect on Ivan. After all, the effect of the deluminator conflicts with his magic mark, so it can only be left to Hermione as a souvenir.
As for the other relic, the Sword of Gryffindor, it was also taken out of Hogwarts by the Ministry of Magic. However, Ivan did not rush to ask Pierce to send it over, but returned it together with the Deluminator and the letter. Ministry of Magic, ask them to come to Hogwarts when the time comes and announce the will in the presence of everyone.
…
The Christmas vacation ended soon, and on the first day of school, the little wizards took special trains back to Hogwarts one after another. However, compared to the lively atmosphere in previous years, this year's Hogwarts seemed to be cast in a shadow.
Dumbledore's funeral had just ended a few days ago, and the Dark Lord was even more frenzied in doing evil everywhere. Even the Ministry of Magic and Gringotts were not spared. Many people even speculated that Voldemort's next target is Hogwarts!
For this reason, many parents of students are not confident about letting their children come back to class.
Fortunately, Pierce promptly issued an announcement through the Daily Prophet, promising to ensure the personal safety of every student, and the Ministry of Magic would also dispatch a large number of elite Aurors to station at Hogwarts and activate the school's protective barrier. Make it an absolutely impenetrable fortress.
In view of this, parents of students have asked their children to return to school on time.
In order to appease people's hearts, Delis publicly announced various measures of the Ministry of Magic at the dinner on the first day of school. He also announced Dumbledore's will. After the dinner, he deliberately left Ivan and others behind.
"Part of Dumbledore's will is related to you. To be precise, he left you several relics." Delis walked up to Ivan and others and said.
"You mean us, did Principal Dumbledore also leave me a relic?" Ron was extremely surprised, he did not expect this at all.
Harry and Hermione were also a little unexpected, looking at Delis with a bit of expectation.
"Yes, Mr. Ron, including you, and of course, Mr. Hals and Miss Granger!" Delis replied.
"What about Harry?" Hermione suddenly asked, and she was keenly aware that Delis did not say Harry's name.
"I'm sorry, Dumbledore didn't leave anything to Mr. Harry Potter in his will!" Delis shook his head, looking businesslike.
"This is impossible!" Ron couldn't help shouting. Everyone in the wizarding world knew how much Professor Dumbledore cared about Harry!
Hermione nodded in agreement. Professor Dumbledore had left something for them all, and there was no way he would be left alone.
Harry looked at Deluxe with confusion on his face, and he was obviously a little puzzled.
"Indeed not. The Ministry of Magic has confirmed this repeatedly. If you really don't believe it, I can apply to the higher authorities to show you Dumbledore's will." Delis said with certainty.
After receiving the confirmation from Deluxe, Harry's performance suddenly became a little disappointing. He didn't quite understand why Professor Dumbledore didn't mention him in his will. Could this be because of his performance over the years? The principal was very disappointed.
"Maybe Professor Dumbledore has forgotten! You know, the professor is over a hundred years old this year, and his memory must not be very good." Ron quickly comforted him.
"Yes, it must be so!" Hermione said.
"Maybe..." Harry responded casually, but deep down he knew that Dumbledore would never forget this matter. He smiled reluctantly, and then changed the subject. "Captain Delis, you haven't said what the professor left for Ron and the others."
"Ah, by the way..." Delis slapped his head and took out a small, delicate, lighter-like object from the pocket of his wizard's robe and handed it to Hermione. "This is the Deluminator. Dumbledore said in his will that he hoped you would make good use of it."
Hermione took it carefully and fiddled with it for a while, and quickly found a way to use it. She flicked the deluminator with her right hand, and the candlelight in the auditorium was instantly absorbed, and the surrounding area suddenly disappeared. It got dark.
"Oh, sorry!" Hermione quickly cast a fire spell and lit the fireplace in the auditorium. The flames were strung high, and the firelight re-mapped everyone's figures.
"It doesn't matter. This deluminator was probably made by Mr. Dumbledore himself and cannot be seen elsewhere. It is a very commemorative thing." Delis said with a smile, and then turned to look at Ron. , handed over a letter.
"Then there is you, Mr. Weasley. Dumbledore left a letter specifically for you. It is enchanted and no one can open it except you."
Ron quickly took it and opened it without hesitation.
"What did the professor say in the letter?" Ivan asked curiously. He knew several relics left by Dumbledore, but the content of this letter was a secret to him. .
Harry and Hermione also turned their heads to wait for Ron's answer.
"Well, the professor said in the letter that he chose me as prefect this year after careful consideration, and he also believes that I can do a good job..." Ron said rather embarrassedly.
"Of course, you have always done a great job, Ron, you are the best prefect!" Harry encouraged.
Ron nodded sarcastically. In fact, his work as a prefect this year was a complete mess. Many Gryffindor wizards did not listen to his orders at all, and even privately said that they only recognized Ivan Hal. Si was a prefect, which once made him very embarrassed.
So much so that he even doubted whether Dumbledore had typed the wrong name on the prefect appointment letter.
Now this suicide note had dispelled his doubts. Appointing him as prefect was indeed Dumbledore's decision after careful consideration. Ron was very moved by this heavy trust.
In addition, there was also the second half of the letter that he did not say in public. Dumbledore told him in the letter not to limit his vision to one aspect. Everyone has something he is suitable to do.
Ivan and Harry are great, but because of this, they cannot focus on mundane things, which are often equally important.
The so-called heroes do not necessarily have to do great things. Those who work silently behind the scenes, inspire people to regain their confidence in times of crisis, and unite them are equally worthy of respect!
