Hogwarts Homecoming

Harry and Hermione went downstairs with their Gryffindor classmates. It was already dinner time. Many young wizards emerged from the classrooms on various floors of the castle and rushed to the auditorium with hurried steps to eat in a hurry. After lunch, they will return to their dormitories to change textbooks and then start their afternoon classes.

This rush always made people feel a little embarrassed, but Harry, who had been isolated for a few days, felt a pleasant sense of fulfillment.

But at the same time, the feeling of contrast intensified in his heart.

He originally thought that the situation would take a turn for the worse immediately, and everyone would take action in a hurry to fight against Voldemort. However, the current situation was very different from what he imagined, even though Professor Dumbledore had already issued a warning to all teachers and students in the auditorium. , but look at these little wizards in front of you

After seeing Harry, many people subconsciously avoided him, as if he was carrying some kind of plague.

This made the joy in Harry's heart quickly dissipate, and his face turned cold. He knew what it meant. He didn't trust him. In the second grade, when everyone thought he was the heir of Slytherin and thought he was the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets. , he also enjoyed this kind of treatment.

"We'll all have your back, Harry."

Neville and Fred were going to the Great Hall for lunch, while Harry and Hermione planned to visit Hagrid. When they were saying goodbye in the foyer, Neville said solemnly,

"The dark witch who pretended to be Professor Moody, her words have no credibility, but since you said that the mysterious man has returned, and Professor Dumbledore and Professor Blaine both confirmed your statement, then this must be the truth."

Apparently, Neville also noticed the behavior of many people along the way after seeing Harry.

"I never thought that one day Neville would become so reliable."

Harry shook his head and smiled as he hurried towards Hagrid's hut.

Ron was running alone on the playground. Hermione called his name loudly several times, and then smiled and said to Harry,

"I never thought you and Ron would be so diligent one day."

Harry shrugged and smiled, they both knew what had caused the change.

The bright sunshine spread all over the land, the lawn and the black lake were filled with light, and even the forbidden forest behind the wooden house was no longer a place of black crows.

As soon as they approached, a small, screaming creature emerged from the shadows of the room and rushed towards Hermione with tears in its eyes.

"Master Granger!"

Dom, who was as tall and tall as an adult house elf, burst into tears the first moment he saw Hermione. He blamed himself for failing to fulfill his responsibilities, failing to protect Hermione and allowing her to experience danger. But after the first hegemony competition, Hagrid sternly warned it. If it dared to interfere in the competition again, Hermione would probably be removed from the competition or even expelled.

Hermione sighed and comforted Dom. She heard from Harry that Winky had grown into a free elf who could ignore the master's orders, but Dom had 'no progress'. She and Dom had the same feelings for each other. Hold on to self-blame.

Harry and Ron looked at each other. They both knew that this scene might not end soon, so they took the lead to walk towards Hagrid, who was standing at the door with a smile to greet them.

"It's so nice to meet you, little ones!"

When they walked in, Hagrid hugged Harry and Ron happily, then turned around and took them into the house.

"I just heard that you were released!"

Hagrid went to the cupboard and took out a few cups. He made tea and brought some rock cakes to share with everyone. Harry took a look at them. They were obviously made by Hagrid himself and not by Dom, so, He decided not to touch the food.

"How do you feel?"

Hagrid reached the edge of his bed and asked angrily.

Ron's lips moved but he didn't say anything. He himself felt that he was not normal. He personally experienced the mysterious man's resurrection ceremony, and before the mysterious man personally dealt with them, he had a wave with Harry and Hermione. Cooperating to defeat the arrogance of Barty Crouch Jr., a Death Eater, he would definitely brag about such a wonderful experience, but now...

Living in the campus hospital for the past few days, late at night, he would always think of the death curse that hit his chest. It was like a real death experience, and all the unwillingness and reluctance he felt before his consciousness disappeared. These emotions left him with no trace of emotion. What's the mood to brag about.

Harry instinctively wanted to tell Hagrid that he was fine, but when he was about to say so, he found that he could not make a sound.

Everything that happened that day was as vivid as a dream.

The despicable Karkaroff, the fearless Barty Sr., the shameful Barty Jr., the loyal Twinkle, and the evil Voldemort who has simply escaped the word "human".

Noble, despicable, evil, death, war. These words became vivid and vivid in his heart.

In his third grade, Professor Brain took him to visit the underground world of Diagon Alley. The chaotic scene he saw there helped him realize one thing: Hogwarts is not the entire magical world, and the real magical world is also Not being so perfect is cruel and realistic, and everything he experienced that morning once again helped him solidify this understanding.

Hermione led Tom into the house. She stood by the door frame, her face also pale and her lips pursed without saying a word.

"It doesn't feel good, does it?"

Hagrid smiled sadly and twirled his thumbs.

"I should have known he would come back."

Harry, Hermione and Ron all looked at Hagrid in surprise.

"--I've known it all these years, I've known him hiding in the shadows, biding his time. This is bound to happen. Well, it's happened now, we have to admit reality, we have to fight, we can organize him Gain power and dominate the world. Dumbledore is determined to do this. Dumbledore, he is such an amazing person. As long as he is here, I don’t worry much. What’s more, we still have Professor Blaine. To be honest, , I don’t think Mystic could handle either one of them, but we have both of them now.”

"But the Ministry of Magic—"

Hermione said worriedly,

"If the Ministry of Magic sticks to its guns, many people who don't know the truth will not realize that You-Know-Who has returned. This will obviously create opportunities for You-Know-Who to grow in power."

Harry and Ron turned to Hermione in surprise. This was something she had never mentioned in their conversations over the past few days.

"Oh, I can't help but praise your clever mind again, Hermione--"

Hagrid also blinked his black beetle-like eyes in surprise,

"Yes, that's right. Cornelius Fudge is a loser. He is always afraid of being taken away from his position as minister. Just wait and see. He will regret it."

"That is to say--"

Harry frowned,

"Voldemort won't take any action for the time being, right? He wants to quietly develop his power. But he already has those Death Eaters, doesn't he?"

"This is not the group duel you practice in gym class, Harry. You-Know-Who can't just rely on a few Death Eaters to attack the wizarding world. He needs an army."

Hagrid said.

"But who would turn to him?" Ron was puzzled.

"The mysterious man is more capable than you think, Ron. He will always find a large group of bad guys who have done something wrong, and tell them that they can gain power and wealth as long as they follow him. There is no shortage of enchanting wizards."

Hagrid said seriously,

"This is also what Professor Dumbledore is mainly considering now - to prevent him from gaining more support."

"Dumbledore also assigned you such a task, right?"

Harry's eyebrows moved slightly and he blurted out,

"That day in the school hospital, I heard him dragging Professor McGonagall to send you a message. He said he had something he wanted you to do. What was it, Hagrid?"

"I can't tell you that, Harry. Dumbledore won't let me tell you much."

Hagrid shook his head and said, and upon hearing this, Harry was shocked for a moment, and then his face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
