His series of questions suddenly changed the atmosphere. Everyone seemed to hold their breath.
Even Aberforth was listening, and kept rubbing the same glass with the soiled rag, and making it more soiled.
"What's the truth?" Zacharias asked proudly. He looked at Elwyn provocatively, as if daring him to say it.
"The truth is that Lord Voldemort is back. Harry and I saw him come back with our own eyes!" Elwyn said, looking straight at Zacharias. "Dumbledore already told the whole school what happened last year, including Cedric's transfer. If you don't believe him, then you won't believe us either. Harry and I don't want to waste another afternoon trying to convince others to believe us."
"Yes, I don't want to talk about what happened," Harry said. "Dumbledore has made it very clear!"
"Humph, Dumbledore didn't say anything last term. He only told us the result. He didn't tell us the specific details. He didn't tell us what happened to Diggory," Zacharias said contemptuously. "I really want to know..."
"That's enough. I think he didn't let you know the specific details because you don't have the power to do so. Knowing more is useless except to satisfy your meaningless curiosity and as a boring after-dinner conversation topic," Elwyn said bluntly. "Think about it. What can you do? Should he charge forward and fight Voldemort, or avenge Cedric? You can't do anything. People have the right to know the truth, but with your current level of magic, you are not qualified to know the truth. "
Elwyn's words made Zacharias's face turn green and white. He seemed to want to refute, but thinking of Elwyn's past experience and the rumors in the school, he really didn't know what to say.
But he still stared at Elwyn, as if he wanted to see how bizarre Elwyn's lie was.
"I repeat, if any of you came here for this, you can go back now. I won't teach you magic, and I don't welcome such people." Elwyn continued, looking away from Zacharias. "I also hope you understand that I promised to teach you magic not because I expect you to fight Lord Voldemort or do anything for me. You don't have to worry about this, because you don't need to. With your current strength, you won't be able to withstand a single blow from a true Dark Magus. Voldemort doesn't even need to do anything, his Death Eaters can easily kill you. To put it bluntly, you are now complete trash. Apart from dying or dragging others down, you are useless trash. I of course don't need the help of trash. "
The atmosphere was extremely tense. Under the pressure of Elwyn's sudden outburst, no one spoke.
Although his words were harsh, it was the truth. Whether they were willing to admit it or not, they were indeed very weak.
As long as Elwyn wanted to, he could easily defeat everyone present.
This was a crushing defeat in terms of strength. He had the right to say this to them. In his eyes, these students were all trash!
"I'm willing to spend my precious time teaching you magic because you are Hogwarts' students. I hope that when danger comes, you can have the strength to protect yourself and the people you protect. Stand up and fight like a real wizard. Even if you die in battle, it will be glorious, and it will be remembered by others. Because you have worked hard, struggled, and fought, not helplessly or kneeling down to beg for mercy, not cowering under the robes of Lord Voldemort or the Death Eaters."
With Elwyn's words, everyone's expression became much more serious than before.
As long as there was courage, no one was willing to beg for mercy or run away. If possible, everyone wanted to fight to the end and do their best to protect the people and things that needed their protection. Many of the people present had a deep feeling about this.
Most of them had already agreed with what Elwyn said, including the girls.
Only Zacharias seemed to be a little unwilling. He still said stubbornly, "If the danger you are talking about is the mysterious man..."
"It's not just Lord Voldemort. I have experienced many things in the past few years that you have not experienced. I have also witnessed many evil and terrible powers that are countless times more than Lord Voldemort, and these dangers can come at any time." Elwyn interrupted, "That's why I decided to teach you magic and help you with combat training. I can tell you clearly that the Ministry of Magic and Umrich will not agree to this. I know that some of you may be unable to bear the pressure and tell on me, but I don't care. Because when the terrible evil comes, all the disputes in front of us will be nothing but a joke."
"Greater danger? A danger more evil and terrible than Lord Voldemort? "
Everyone discussed in low voices with interest. Many of them did not seem to believe it, but they could not refute Elwyn's words.
At the very least, the aura that Elwyn had displayed earlier was not something they could resist.
Moreover, what he said made sense. Elwyn was willing to spend time teaching them magic, and this in itself was a good thing beyond their imagination.
Behind the bar, Aberforth did not even bother wiping the dirty glasses and threw the rag aside.
His mouth was wide open, and his azure blue eyes stared straight at Elwyn, as if he thought he had gone mad.
"If you have no more questions, I hope we can continue..." Elwyn nudged Hermione with the tip of his foot.
"Yes, that's right!" Hermione reacted immediately, and her voice became shrill and shrill again. "Elwyn has made it very clear just now, and I think you should understand. Now I ask again, do you all agree to let Elwyn teach us?"
There was a short silence, and then everyone murmured in agreement. Only Zacharias crossed his arms, his face full of disdain.
"Come on, you don't believe his stupid words, do you? A danger more terrible than Unknowns..."
"Of course we are willing to believe in Elwyn. He has never let us down," said Corin. "If he said that Unknowns has returned, then he must have returned. If he said that a more terrible danger is coming, then it will definitely come. Elwyn is right. I hope to learn more magic before that day comes, to protect my family and friends, to protect the Hogwarts! "
"You're crazy..."
"Oh, shut up!" Ron shouted. "Elwyn made it very clear. Either get out of here, or stay quietly. And you better stay away from my sister. You're sitting too close to her."
He glared at Zacharias as if he wanted to beat him up. Zacharias blushed.
Ginny blushed as well. She glared at Zacharias and moved closer to Hermione.
