Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs
Chapter 67 Gifts and Oaths
The morning before the funeral.
The professors walked out of the castle with Lu Ke, and Lu Ke and Hagrid carried the white stone coffin together.
They finally decided to keep Dumbledore at Hogwarts.
"Many of the students have already been picked up by their parents."
Professor McGonagall stood at the door of the castle and looked around.
She is no longer the panicked person she was just after Dumbledore left. Professor McGonagall is now someone who can calm others down.
This is particularly important because most of the professors here are unable to calm down.
"Is it necessary for Hogwarts to remain open?"
"We can no longer protect the students..."
Although this is just what one professor said, most professors think this is right.
They didn't feel this way because of the lack of security caused by Dumbledore's departure. In fact, most professors felt this way because of the attitude of the students' parents.
They took their children away because they felt that Hogwarts was now a place where students could not be protected.
Professor McGonagall shook her head firmly: "Hogwarts will continue to stand. It is still the most powerful force in the wizarding world."
"It's not just one person who protects the students, it's the whole of Hogwarts."
They came to the lake together.
There were hundreds of seats ready, with some students and others from outside Hogwarts sitting on them.
They watched quietly as Lu Ke and Hagrid put Dumbledore in front of everyone.
Then everyone found their seats and sat down.
It was a bit of a long funeral.
In his long life, Dumbledore accumulated a lot of prestige and connections, and the Ministry of Magic valued him.
But anyone who really knew Dumbledore knew that this overly solemn funeral was not what he wanted.
Of course this is one thing that living people need.
Lu Ke did not sit down, but stood aside and tried to maintain order.
The Forbidden Forest, the Black Lake, and the intelligent races that had been taken care of by Dumbledore all appeared in Hogwarts. The mermaids and centaurs were okay, but Lu Ke had to comfort the house elves who cried too loudly, and did not Let the herbs spread and wrap around your guests' legs.
The Minister of Magic Scrimgeour personally spoke in memory of Dumbledore and also announced that Professor McGonagall would be the new Headmaster of Hogwarts.
Of course he also mentioned the Ministry of Magic's response to the Death Eaters, the threat of You-Know-Who, and the like.
But almost everyone in the audience was distracted.
Dumbledore left. This fact was so important that few people could calm down and think about it.
Finally, the funeral ended.
Everyone dispersed and Professor McGonagall sent the guests away as the principal. The professor and the students returned to the castle together.
Not long after, Professor McGonagall came back.
It was in the Great Hall that she made her first decision as Headmaster of Hogwarts.
"The exam is going on normally!"
"Classes will resume as normal tomorrow!"
The hall was incredibly quiet, and for some reason, Harry wasn't unhappy at all after hearing the news.
There’s even an incredible feeling of relaxation.
…
After a long time, Harry studied hard, and for the first time he felt that studying was a good thing.
At least this would give Harry the illusion that life was going on normally.
Although Harry knew better than anyone that this was an illusion.
A week later, the three of Harry went to sneak attack Lu Ke.
As a result, they were all thrown into the Black Lake by Lu Ke.
Of course, Lu Ke fished them out next, and then told the three people from beginning to end all the mistakes they had made and how to correct them.
But in the end Lu Ke said: "But your biggest mistake is that the target chose me."
Although this sentence is a bit strange, Harry and the three of them really can't find a reason to refute it.
Draco Malfoy was almost completely broken, he was now a homeless kid, and Hermione hated him.
Although Harry felt that Malfoy was very pitiful and that he just made a mistake in doing the right thing, Hermione didn't think so.
"Dumbledore's departure was not his fault, but in order to become a hero, Lu Ke had no choice but to give up the villain in the bottle. Of course you don't know what that is, so you think Malfoy can be forgiven!"
Every time Malfoy appeared not far from the three of them, Harry would try to get Hermione to forgive him, and then Hermione would repeat the words angrily.
And every time she said this, Harry and Ron could only remain silent.
Of course they know what the man in the bottle is.
After all, Hermione had told them countless times.
But Harry still felt that the man in the bottle was not that important.
"Lu Ke is as strong as he was without the villain in the bottle."
When Hermione was still unwilling to forgive Malfoy after a long time, Ron finally told him the truth after another Harry frustrated.
"Hasn't it ever occurred to you that after Malfoy has done so much to become a hero and attract Hermione's attention, any show of support from Hermione would be extravagant?"
Harry suddenly realized.
Then he could only look at Malfoy with a sympathetic expression every day, and then look at Hermione cautiously, hoping that she would stop saying that.
Finally, after a long time, the school year is coming to an end.
Another important thing is finally happening: Lu Ke is graduating from Hogwarts.
"You are all excellent in the Ultimate Wizard Level Examination. If you are willing, I can let you be a professor in a few years."
Professor McGonagall and Lu Ke stood together in the principal's office.
There are still traces of Dumbledore everywhere here. Professor McGonagall has changed very few things, except that Fawkes the Phoenix is no longer there, and there is a portrait of Dumbledore on the wall.
"I don't think so for now. I don't want to be a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."
Lu Ke and Professor McGonagall laughed together.
Then they walked out of the principal's office together: "Dumbledore left the real trouble to you, right?"
As they walked down the stairs, Professor McGonagall said casually.
Lu Ke was silent for a moment.
Professor McGonagall smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, I just hope you can protect yourself. Don't think that you can be like Dumbledore. All teachers in the world always hope that their students can live to be a hundred years old. Then lay on the bed and sleep."
Lu Ke smiled: "I will."
Then the two walked to a room together, where the three of them, Harry, Neville, Luna, and Draco Malfoy, had been called over by Johanna.
"I'm graduating, so I can't stay at Hogwarts, but there are two things I want to stay at."
As he spoke, Lu Ke took out Ravenclaw's map and Hufflepuff's badge.
"Luna."
Lu Ke said and put the Hufflepuff badge in Luna's hand: "I know you always know what is right. I hope you can become friends with them. Although centaurs and mermaids are very simple, raising small children at home Elf..."
"Even I have a headache."
Luna raised the Hufflepuff badge and glanced at Lu Ke through the circle in the middle: "It's a beautiful gift, thank you."
Lu Ke smiled, then turned around: "Neville, I know you have learned a lot, but this thing is very complicated."
As he spoke, he handed the map to Neville: "The reason why I dare not give this to Harry is that anyone who thinks of using it to take risks will bring danger to themselves. I hope you will only use it when necessary." It doesn’t matter whether you can understand it or not.”
Neville was a little surprised. When he was hesitating whether to take it, Harry pushed him: "What Lu Ke means is that this thing is only safe in your hands. It's best not to use it."
Lu Ke and Harry laughed together.
Neville tried his best and finally took the map.
Then Lu Ke turned and looked at the three Harrys: "I won't leave anything to you, because I know you don't need it. I asked you to come here for one thing, Draco."
Malfoy looked at Lu Ke a little surprised.
Luke walked up to Harry, put his hand on his shoulder, and held Draco Malfoy with the other hand.
"The Sorting Hat was right."
"When the real threat comes, Hogwarts must unite. The differences between Slytherin and Gryffindor have gone on long enough. I hope you understand that none of that matters now."
Harry glanced at Malfoy and nodded.
But Malfoy shook his head: "Now...does it still make sense to say this to me? I am a disgrace to Hogwarts..."
Lu Ke smiled and shook his head: "Of course, I think what you did is indeed doomed to fail."
"But I think there are very few people who dare to resist Voldemort in Hogwarts. You are one, so it doesn't matter whether you fail or succeed. At least I hope you can let other Slytherins learn from you instead of following their parents. , to become a Death Eater."
Malfoy was silent for a moment, then finally nodded.
Lu Ke breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Professor McGonagall: "Finally, Principal, we need a powerful spell."
Professor McGonagall looked at Lu Ke and shook his head: "I don't hope..."
Lu Ke smiled helplessly: "I am the guardian of Hogwarts, and now the students of Hogwarts need protection."
Professor McGonagall looked puzzled: "You mean?"
Lu Ke opened his arms: "There is an ancient and powerful spell that requires the principal of Hogwarts, four students, and the guardian himself to complete it."
"Luna, Ravenclaw."
"Neville, if you hold the Hufflepuff badge first, you can be considered a Hufflepuff."
"Harry, Gryffindor."
"Draco, Slytherin."
Professor McGonagall raised her wand: "But Lu Ke..."
Lu Ke smiled: "This is the best choice. After all, at least if the guardian does not die, Hogwarts will have endless power."
Professor McGonagall hesitated and finally nodded.
"The oath is established!"
At that moment, an invisible wave swept through the entire Hogwarts, and even the entire Anglican Empire. All Hogwarts students, whether they were in Hogwarts or not, felt that something was happening.
Hermione looked at Lu Ke curiously: "What kind of oath is this?"
Professor McGonagall took a long breath: "Unless Hogwarts is completely destroyed, no student will be harmed."
She turned around and looked at Lu Ke, shaking her head: "You must protect yourself..."
Lu Ke smiled: "Of course, don't worry."
Professor McGonagall hugged Lu Ke, and she almost cried, but she still held it back.
"You are welcome back to Hogwarts at any time, Lu Ke."
Lu Ke smiled: "I will be back soon."
"soon."
