Chapter 504： School leaving party

Chapter 504

When Harry looked at him, his gaze stayed on Harry for a moment. The expression on his face is elusive. He still looked as gloomy and annoying as before. Harry looked at Snape for a long time after he looked away.

When Harry looked at Snape, he had an inexplicable feeling that he had never imagined before. It was weird that Snape actually liked his mother.

He didn't underestimate the charm of his mother, but he felt like a person like Snape, such a cold body, how could he like someone.

In Harry's eyes, hatred and insidiousness ran through Snape's veins. How could such a person have love in his heart? Or, in fact, love does not change a person. Evil and spiteful people can also have selfish and evil love that belongs only to them?

Ha used his hand to touch his chest, where his blood was flowing and beating. He always knew that his mother's protection curse was still flowing in his blood. This power, this love, still protects him and helps him.

He realized for a while, "Maybe love is not noble, and evil and spiteful people can have their own selfish and evil love. Just like Malfoy can summon the curse of the patron saint, his father Lucius has always treated him well, they The family atmosphere is much better than that of Batty Crouch."

Harry was thinking about it. Professor Dumbledore suddenly stood up from the staff desk and interrupted his thoughts. The auditorium was already much quieter than the usual school leaving banquet, and it was even more silent at this time. This year is a special year, and everyone has a more complicated mind than previous years.

"It's another year," Dumbledore said, looking at everyone, "it's over."

He stopped talking and set his eyes on Hufflepuff's table. Before Dumbledore stood up, the emotions on this table had been the most depressed, and the faces beside this table were also the saddest and palest in the entire auditorium.

"Tonight, I have a lot to say to all of you," Dumbledore said, "but I must first declare in a painful manner that we have lost a very good man who should have been sitting here."

He pointed to Hufflepuff’s classmates, “Enjoy this dinner with us. I hope everyone stands up and raises their glasses to Cedric Diggory.”

Everyone stood up, and there was a sound of moving benches in the auditorium. They all raised their wine glasses and said in a deep, deep voice in unison: "Cedric Diggory."

"Cedric fully embodies the unique qualities of Hufflepuff College," Dumbledore continued. "He is a kind and loyal friend, a hardworking student, and he advocates fair competition. His departure, It's all our losses."

Dumbledore added: "The purpose of the Triwizard Tournament is to enhance and promote mutual understanding in the magical world. Given what is happening now, given Voldemort's comeback, this connection is more important than ever."

People in the audience began to whisper, you know, the first thing Voldemort's resurrection was to attack Hogwarts, and accused Dumbledore of conspiracy to resurrect him, and even said that his previous defeat was also Dumbledore. Conspiracy.

After this, whether it is the Daily Prophet or the students in the school, these days, there are many criticisms against Dumbledore.

Dumbledore looked at Mrs. Maxim and Hagrid, looked at Fleur Delacour and her Busbarton alumni, and looked at Victor Krum and Dem at the Slytherin table. Strong's classmates.

"Every guest in this auditorium,"

Dumbledore said calmly, his eyes rested on Durmstrang’s classmates, “As long as you are willing to come back, you are welcome at any time. I will say it to you all again, in view of Voldemort’s comeback, we can only unite It will be strong, and if it is divided, it will be vulnerable."

"Voldemort's methods of creating conflict and hostility are very clever. We can only fight with them if we show the same unbreakable friendship and trust. As long as we have the same goals and open our hearts, differences in habits and language will not become obstacles."

George nodded slightly. At this point, it was true that Voldemort's methods were not unwise. Voldemort first used the trophy of the Triwizard Tournament as a trap. When everyone was most excited and looking forward to it, he directly killed Cedric, the champion of the Triwizard Tournament.

The mark of the black demon that appeared in the sky after that was like the declaration of the demon king, showing the return of the demon king with the death of the warrior.

Then he and the Death Eaters suddenly appeared in everyone's fears, and the entire Triwizard Tournament became his stageAll the students and teachers, and all the preparations seemed to set off his return.

Such a situation brought everyone a boundless shock, unforgettable, the devil descended on the earth like darkness, ruling all living beings under the night.

After that, Voldemort used questioning and accusation to dissolve Dumbledore's myth and push Dumbledore into everyone's suspicion. The light pillar of the magic world was completely disintegrated in just a few words.

Dumbledore maintained the trust built for many years, and the bright image he built was overturned by Voldemort in an instant.

The great wizard in everyone's heart, the elder who supported the bright future of the magic world, was instantly pushed by Voldemort into the ranks of conspiracy careerists.

This defeat in trust is worse than Dumbledore's defeat in strength.

Capitalists will trample everything for high profits, and people will bravely resist for the faith in their hearts and for the mission on their shoulders, even without fear of sacrifice.

But the fall of this person who puts people's faith and is given to support the bright future of the magical world, this person who is given the mission of justice, makes people completely lose confidence in the future.

This heavy blow was of great help to Voldemort's rule.

When people find that no one can trust, even if they heard big names since they were young, the great wizard who was regarded as the savior and the pillar of light is also a liar.

At this time, there will be nothing to be able to unite them, and everyone will become a piece of sand and be slaughtered.

"Fortunately, I was prepared."

George secretly rejoiced that if he really hoped Dumbledore and Harry could defeat Voldemort according to the so-called plot, there would really be a dead end.
