At the end-of-year banquet, when Allen rushed to the auditorium, it was already full of people. The auditorium was decorated with the blue and silver colors representing Ravenclaw to celebrate them winning the School Championship once again. On the wall behind the main seats, there was a huge banner depicting the Ravenclaw Giant Eagle.
When Dumbledore announced that Ravenclaw had won the School Championship once again, the little Magi of Ravenclaw raised their glasses to celebrate under the envious gazes of the little Magi from other academies. For them, winning the School Championship was no longer something worth celebrating. It was a routine operation. If they did not win the School Championship, it would be a rare thing!
"Another year has come to an end. Excellent. I have to say, Ravenclaw did well," Dumbledore said as he looked at everyone. "But at the same time, I have to solemnly announce one thing to everyone once again — Lord Voldemort is back."
There was a murmur in the auditorium, which gradually returned to silence. This was not the first time Dumbledore had announced this news, but everyone still stared at Dumbledore suspiciously.
Although Dumbledore was regarded as the greatest light Magus in history, the news he announced was too shocking. There was no reasonable reason or conclusive evidence. Except for a few of his die-hard followers, almost no one was willing to believe this news.
"The Ministry of Magic did not want me to tell you this." Dumbledore went on. "Some of your parents may be shocked by what I've done. Maybe it's because they can't believe that Voldemort is really back, or maybe it's because they don't think I should tell you this. After all, you're still young. However, I believe that telling the truth is always better than lying. If we try to hide this news, we may be caught off guard and suffer more damage. "
At this moment, every face in the auditorium was facing Dumbledore. Every face had a different expression, such as the pale Neville, the angry Harry, the expressionless Allen, and the arrogant elite Magi who belonged to Family Harris …
"The purpose of the Wizard Tournament is to enhance and promote mutual understanding between the Mage World. In light of what is happening now — in light of the Lord Voldemort's return from the dead — this connection is more important than ever, "Dumbledore added.
Dumbledore looked at Ms. Maxim and Hagrid, then at the slightly flustered Kakarov, then at Hibiscus Chinensis. Dracul and her Boothbottom alumni looked at Wickidall, who was sitting at Slytherin's table. He was a classmate of Krum and Demstrand.
Krum and Carla looked very nervous and even a little scared. They seemed to think that Dumbledore would say something harsh.
"Every guest in this auditorium," Dumbledore said, his eyes lingering on Demstrand's classmates, "is welcome at any time as long as you are willing to come back. I'll say it again — in light of the Lord Voldemort's return from the dead, we will only be strong if we are united. If we are divided, we will be vulnerable. The Lord Voldemort's method of creating conflict and hostility is very clever. Only by showing the same unbreakable friendship and trust can we fight it to the end. As long as we have the same goal and are open to each other, differences in habits and languages will not be obstacles. "
After the year-end banquet, the semester was over, and it meant goodbye.
For Kakarov, who was about to leave Hogwarts, leaving the protection of Dumbledore and Family Harris made him very nervous. Especially after he heard that Lunn Harris was promoted and could not protect him back to Demstrand.
Therefore, he wrote several letters to Owen Harris, urging him to send more bodyguards to ensure his safety.
Outside Hogwarts Castle, below the stone steps in the foyer, Allen was sending Hibiscus Chinensis off. At the far end of the field behind her, Hagrid was helping Lady Maxim to harness two huge horses, and Boothbottom's coach was about to set off.
Seeing this, Harry and Ron hurried down the steps to say goodbye to Hibiscus Chinensis.
"We will be able to see each other soon," Hibiscus Chinensis flipped her long hair and smiled at Harry. "I found a job at the Ministry of Magic in England. My English may improve soon."
"Your English is already very good." Ron's pretentious voice sounded behind them.
"I have to thank Mrs. Morgan-le-feil Harris. Thanks to her, I was able to get this job." Hibiscus Chinensis nodded.
Ron's face suddenly turned red. He looked like he had just swallowed an egg and accidentally got it stuck in his throat.
"Harry, Ron, goodbye. It was a pleasure to see you." Hibiscus Chinensis turned around with a smile, gave each of them a big hug, and left.
Allen watched Hibiscus Chinensis hurrying along the lawn toward Ms. Maxim. Her silver hair rippled like waves under the sun. He could not help but feel happy.
Krum came to say goodbye to Hermione.
"Can I have a word with you?" He asked Hermione.
"Oh, of course," Hermione replied, but her body did not move.
"Hermione, I hope I have a chance to see you in the future." Krum's voice was hoarse and dull.
Hermione looked at Allen, who was sitting not far away in the carriage pulled by Ye Qi, and a smile appeared on her face. Allen looked at her nervously and waved at her to come over.
Hermione, who was in a good mood, took the initiative to reach out her hand to Krum.
Krum was surprised and happy. He quickly held Hermione's hand.
Hermione smiled and said, "I hope you can find the right person for you."
"Then Hermione, goodbye." Hearing this, Krum looked at Hermione with a bit of sadness.
Ron, who was at the side, gently moved his feet a few times. Judging from Ron's expression, he seemed to be enduring some kind of painful inner conflict. He suddenly raised his head and happened to meet Krum's gaze.
The two of them looked at each other awkwardly for a few seconds. Then, they were suddenly awakened by a "hiss" beside them. At the same time, they turned their heads and did not look at each other.
Draco had appeared behind them without them knowing. Pency was nervously holding his chin with his hand. He kept muttering, "This is the consequence of going to Muggle for dental problems. I heard that Muggle's main job is to be a hairdresser. But you really shouldn't eat so much candy right after you came back. Didn't they tell you not to eat these few days? If you want to mock these two people, you should let me do it. Don't open your mouth again. "
On their way back to King's Cross, the weather was completely different from when they came to Hogwarts last September. The sky was cloudless.
Allen, Luna, and Hermione went straight to the end of the train. The compartment at the end of the train had been recognized by the little wizards as Allen's exclusive compartment. Interestingly, the compartments of the prefect and the president of the student union were at the front of the train. The little wizards did not feel any burden when they passed by. On the contrary, the compartment at the end of the train was Allen's, and no one would easily disturb it.
"This summer vacation, try to free up as much time as possible. We have to do combat training. Lord Voldemort is indeed back. We have to increase our combat experience and strengthen ourselves. "Allen opened a chocolate frog and smiled when he saw his portrait on the card.
"Professor Dumbledore wants to push Harry to the front in order to fulfill his so-called prophecy, and we can use the struggle between them to gain time to grow." Alan understood her thoughts instantly. "But Professor Dumbledore wants to push Harry to the front in order to fulfill his so-called prophecy, and we can just use the struggle between them to gain time to grow. Hermione, believe me, I will personally defeat Lord Voldemort. Next year, the conflict between the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore may make it difficult for you to be stuck between Harry and me. We need to be patient. If we go against Fudge now, we will waste the strength that we have just started to improve and can be saved to deal with Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters later. "
Hermione nodded and found a reason for herself not to ask any more questions.
Luna glanced at him and said, "We'll see each other often."
