"What we have to admit is that Voldemort is really back."

Dumbledore glanced at Brian intentionally or unintentionally, and announced in a calm tone. Obviously, he was sure that Brian did it, but that didn't stop him from taking the opportunity to tell the truth.

There were nervous murmurs in the Great Hall, and everyone stared at Dumbledore in horror and disbelief, as if expecting him to be joking.

"The Ministry of Magic doesn't want me to tell you this. The parents of some students may be shocked or unwilling to believe that Voldemort is back..." Dumbledore continued, "But I think that under the current situation, it is best to hide it from you. This is the biggest irresponsibility..."

"I think you are all very curious about what happened in the maze last night. I will tell you what happened... But what I want to say is, please don't bother the warriors about it anymore. They have all gone through a period of time. It's not a wonderful experience," Dumbledore said.

"Last night, as you can see, we lost two outstanding warriors. The dark wizard who broke into the maze was a follower of Voldemort. He was ordered to come here and attacked the warriors frantically," Dumbledore said. .

"Fortunately, we finally caught him, and Harry escaped from Voldemort again... Let us know that Voldemort is not omnipotent and can cover the sky with one hand."

"I hereby pay tribute to Harry Potter and his fearless spirit in facing the power of Voldemort. I hope you understand that in the not-too-distant future, only extraordinary courage and wisdom can protect us from being harm."

Dumbledore said seriously, the atmosphere in the auditorium was very quiet, and people felt heavy.

Blaise sat aside with a pale face, holding the spoon tightly with his fingers, bending the handle. His expression was gloomy, and there was an aura that kept strangers away from him. Theodore opened his mouth next to him, but stopped talking.

The breakfast ended in silence, and the little wizards left the auditorium in twos and threes, discussing the matter with serious faces.

The final exams are over, and they will spend some time on campus during the holidays. But now, the little wizards are obviously in no mood to go to Hogsmeade to play.

Cedric said a few words to his girlfriend, Cho Chang, and then walked over to Brian alone. A group of people nearby looked at them, as if they wanted to ask them, but had to hold back.

"Are you okay, Brian?" Cedric asked, his handsome eyebrows furrowed deeply. "Would you like to...go to the school hospital to see them?"

"I'm fine, Cedric. Let's go together." Brian nodded. He said something to Draco and the others, and walked out of the castle side by side with Cedric.

"How is Harry?" Cedric said in a low voice.

"He's in pretty good shape, I think..." Brian said, "Although he did have a few brushes with death last night."

"Did you see it?" Cedric's gray eyes stared at him nervously, "He is really back?"

Brian nodded and said nothing.

Cedric took a deep breath and his expression became determined.

"Thank you for saving me last night. I never had time to thank you." Cedric said again.

"You're welcome. In fact, I'm also saving myself." Brian said calmly.

The two of them chatted for a while, and the school hospital was right in front of them. When they walked in, Madam Pomfrey was sitting drowsily on a chair, and she stared over in annoyance after hearing the sound.

"Oh, it's you." Her anger subsided and she said gently, "Are you here to see your friends? Potter is in the third room on the left. He drank sleeping pills last night and may not have woken up yet. "

"Let's go see him... we won't disturb him." Cedric lowered his voice.

The two people were walking along the corridor led by Madam Pomfrey. Cedric asked: "Madam, are the others okay?"

"Oh, not so good." Madam Pomfrey said sadly, "The two boys from Durmstrang didn't have much of a problem, and Beasley finally calmed down... But the girl from Beauxbatons... alas, We can only send her to St. Mungo's and hope she can get over the pain."

She sighed as Harry's room arrived. They stood outside the door and took a look. Harry had woken up, had put on his clothes, and seemed to be getting ready to go out.

The three people stayed in the room, and the atmosphere was a bit silent for a while, as if everyone didn't know what to say.

"It's great that you're okay, Harry." Cedric was the first to break the silence.

"Fortunately, nothing happened to you either..." Harry said sincerely, "And Brian... I'm sorry, I wrongly blamed you last night."

Brian shook his head, and the atmosphere fell silent again. At this time, they obviously couldn't celebrate the victory.

"What happened to Lopez?" Harry said, "I saw her being picked up by a group of people."

"She was under the Imperius Curse and killed Brand with her own hands." Brian's tone did not waver.

"..." Harry opened his mouth and said reluctantly, "It's not her fault, right?" He stopped in a daze, thinking that if he was controlled by someone and killed Ron and Hermione with his own hands... he He didn't dare to think about it anymore. If such a thing really happened, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

They stayed for a while, then walked towards the castle together and said goodbye to each other in the foyer.

Brian walked up the stairs, planning to go to the Room of Requirement to take a break.

As he climbed up to the third floor, he saw Luna again. She was looking at the scenery outside the window, and the black kitten, which seemed to be small, was lying on top of her messy hair.

Brian had a very strange feeling. He thought Luna was waiting for him here, not by chance, but waiting for him. He somehow believed in this feeling.

"You're here, Brian." Luna turned around and said in a light tone.

"Well, are you waiting for me?" Brian walked over, "Why are you here?"

"I thought you would come here." Luna's eyes widened with a smile, "So I'll wait for you here."

"What if I hadn't come over?" Brian wondered whether he should laugh or cry.

"Then there's nothing wrong with staying here." Luna pointed to the sparkling lake outside the window, which reflected the golden sunlight like a mirror. "It's very beautiful here. There are also these murals, I like them very much."

Brian glanced at the murals hanging next to them. Most of them were filled with strange and magical animals, as well as imaginary species that were difficult to look at.

"Well, it's indeed unique." Brian said, "I think you might have the gift of prophecy?"

"The divination class is indeed interesting, but I'm afraid I don't have any talent." Luna said with a smile, lifted the black cat off her head, held it in her arms and rubbed it. She whispered: "Congratulations on winning the championship, and congratulations on your safety."

"Then thank you for your protection." Brian showed off the bracelet amulet Luna gave him last year.

"You still have it with you." Luna said, and then she thought about it seriously and said, "Perhaps, I can make another wisdom crown for you... Dad has newly developed a spiritual light thruster that can People enter an advanced state of mind, coupled with the harassing siphon, and the airship Li..."

Brian twitched the corner of his mouth, imagining what he would look like wearing a strange crown. He said feebly: "Are you sure that thing is useful?"

Luna thought about it seriously and said, "Well... at least when I put it on, my mind will move very quickly."

"That's great, I'm looking forward to it." Brian said softly, and then asked curiously, "What will you do during the summer vacation?"

Luna's light eyes lit up instantly, and she said in a daze: "I will go to the forest with my father to look for magical animals. The Snorlax is very timid, and it takes a lot of effort to find them... Sometimes We would just stay at home, my dad would write the script for The Quibbler, and I would help him research information and make props.”

"Actually, you can come to my house as a guest... There are a lot of colorful ball fish over the valley bridge, the soup is very delicious, and there is Gordig root tea made by dad..." Luna said in an ethereal voice.

"If I have time, I will go." Brian nodded with a smile, but sighed in his heart.

The two of them talked some random things, Luna's topics were always random, but Brian couldn't help but feel relaxed.

She always has a magical power that makes people calm, like a mysterious and beautiful nature.

"Do you hope to see a world like that? Wizards can walk freely in the Muggle world..." Brian asked softly before leaving.

"Of course, I'm looking forward to that day." Luna smiled brightly.

Brian continued to go up the stairs, but his steps became brisk. Perhaps Luna was comforting him in her own way.

Hogwarts fell into calm again, but this calm may not last long.
