Chapter 583 The scuffle at school

 In the following period, Harry seemed to have become a very dangerous figure, and he received a lot of complicated looks wherever he went.

Even Hermione and Ron took some of the spotlight and became part of the group that everyone was hiding from.

Gradually, these looks turned into ridicule.

In the last few days before the holidays, some people seemed to have found teasing Harry a new kind of fun.

  After all, Dumbledore only said that they were not allowed to ask questions, but he did not say that he was not allowed to do anything else.

 For example, Malfoy and his two followers. He would always go out to Harry and discuss the contents of the newspaper in a loud voice.

Harry would argue and explain a few words at first, but after doing this for several days, he decided not to do this useless effort anymore, and chose to throw a book directly in Malfoy's face.

 Harry has been quite depressed these past few days.

First he was taken away by the Death Eaters without warning, and then he witnessed and participated in Voldemort's resurrection and the arrangement in the newspapers. With so many things piled together, Harry had long wanted to find an opportunity to vent his depression.

  Malfoy's recent behavior just gave him a ready opportunity.

As if they had agreed upon it, Ron and Hermione joined the battlefield without any hesitation, targeting Crabbe and Goyle.

Caught off guard, the three Malfoys were immediately stunned.

But this was just the beginning. As more and more people passed by, the incident soon spread, and then there was a big scuffle between the two colleges.

 In the narrow corridor, everyone tacitly agreed not to use magic, but chose more direct fists.

The school hospital that day was so crowded that Madam Pomfrey's wand almost smoked out when she waved it, so she managed to conjure enough beds and boiled three large pots of healing potion overnight.

Because there were too many people, Filch, who originally needed treatment for a few more days, had to be discharged from the hospital early in order to make room.

 The consequence of this incident was that both Gryffindor and Slytherin were deducted 500 points, which can be said to be the most points deducted in recent decades.

 But no one cares about this.

Although five hundred points sounds exaggerated, they still have to have that many points. Thanks to the efforts of Snape and Sirius, the scores of their two schools have long been at the bottom.

 Let alone five hundred, a hundred would be enough.

 But these did not affect Kyle.

 Perhaps it was because he did not participate in the confrontation with Fudge that day. His name was not mentioned in the Daily Prophet.

In addition, Dumbledore didn't say anything, so except for a few friends around him, no one else knew where he went when he disappeared in the maze.

 “I’ll tell you what you think.”

In the Hufflepuff common room, Kyle looked at Fred and George sitting there with grins on their faces, and threw a bottle of white essence to them.

 “Does this need to be said? Of course it is to fight against the power of the mysterious man.”

Fred took the white essence, lifted up his sleeves and applied a little on his arms.

“I dare say that among You-Know-Who’s Death Eaters, there must be Slytherins.” George also wiped a little white essence on his face, “At least Malfoy must be indispensable.”

"I'm not talking about this." Kyle said, "I'm talking about why you didn't go to the school hospital when you were injured, but came to me. Before this, I had only treated magical animals."

“There are too many people in the campus hospital.” Fred said nonchalantly.

“And we are only slightly injured, there is no need to go there…”

"You haven't seen Madam Pomfrey's appearance. It's really scary." George said with lingering fear.

 “So many people were injured, it’s strange that her face looks good...” Kyle muttered.

He glanced at the two of them. Their injuries were indeed not serious. They were basically bruises caused by collisions.

For this kind of injury, white fresh essence is actually not very effective, but the problem is that he doesn't have a completely suitable healing potion here, so he will make do with it first.

"Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle..." George continued: "These three names were all on the trial list more than ten years ago."

“You must have seen it that day too,” Fred asked.

“Maybe, but the Death Eaters at that time all wore masks, and I didn’t see what they looked like.”

Kyle shrugged, "I went a little late and missed a lot. Harry should know that."

"Ah, that's right." George shook his head, "But Principal Dumbledore didn't let us ask him."

“Dad also wrote and asked us not to pester Harry.”

"How do you think we'll ask him when we're on the train tomorrow?" Fred suddenly thought of something and said excitedly: "The school will be on vacation by then, so it will definitely be fine."

Cedric next to him looked at them speechlessly... You can't ask when you are at school, so you can wait until the holidays?

However, it does seem to make sense to say so.

　　On the last night before leaving school, Kyle and others went to the auditorium for a banquet. When he was at the door, he also met Harry with a bandage on his arm.

 As the protagonist of this fight, Harry was not allowed to leave the school hospital until just now.

But looking at his appearance, he didn't feel sad at all, but rather happy. This was probably because Malfoy, not far away, was also dressed in the same way.

 …

 This year's banquet was, as usual, decorated with flags representing Hufflepuff.

Keir won the Triwizard Tournament. In addition to the prize of one thousand galleons, Dumbledore also gave him an additional two hundred points.

This also made Hufflepuff the well-deserved first place, and also won the House Cup for the fifth time, tying the previous record of Slytherin.

Sirius and Professor Moody, who had disappeared for many days, were sitting in the classroom, talking to Dumbledore. Snape was also sitting next to Professor McGonagall with a gloomy expression.

There was also Ms. Maxim, she was also back, sitting there quietly discussing something with Hagrid.

 It should be a matter of giants. After all, the Ministry of Magic will definitely not send envoys to contact them, but Dumbledore must do so.

As for the candidates, only the two hybrid giants, Hagrid and Ms. Maxim, are the most suitable. They should take action during this holiday.

Just as Kyle was thinking about it, Dumbledore suddenly stood up from the teacher's chair, and the auditorium suddenly became silent.

“It’s another year.” Dumbledore looked at everyone and said, “Tonight, I have something very important to say to you all.

"The Ministry of Magic has repeatedly asked me to keep this matter secret, but I think you should be told the truth."

 Everyone’s eyes turned to him.

“Haven’t you always been wondering why Mr. Filch, our janitor, is in the school hospital?

　　"That's because he was attacked by a crazy Death Eater."

 “Death Eaters?”

 Everyone was talking about it.

"How can this be…"

 “Why do they dare to show up in school.”

　　　…”

Dumbledore stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

“As well as the content in the Daily Prophet, I can tell you that it is true and not Harry’s imagination.

“That Death Eater, disguised as Filch, took Harry Potter out of the school and brought him to his master, Voldemort!”

At this time, the auditorium was completely blown away. Everyone stared at Dumbledore in horror and disbelief, thinking that they had heard wrongly.

They were just Death Eaters just now, why are they suddenly involved with Voldemort now?

Dumbledore had to use magic to raise his voice in order to barely cover up the continuous humming below.

 “And I want to tell you that Voldemort has returned.” He said loudly:

“I know a lot of you don’t want to believe it, or are shocked by what I say, but this is what I saw with my own eyes.

"I can't convince myself to hide this truth from you, because blind avoidance can't solve any problem. You can doubt it, or you can sneer at my words, but remember, you must be prepared at any time."

Everyone in the auditorium looked at Dumbledore, with shock and fear written on every face.

 They couldn't believe it was true.

At the Hufflepuff table, Cedric and Connor, who had known about this for a long time, remained silent, but more people had complicated expressions.

There are those who believe in Dumbledore, and there are those who don’t.

For example, Mikel is completely leaning towards Dumbledore. As a wizard of Muggle origin, he has only heard about Voldemort and does not have much fear, so he is still more willing to believe in the principal.

But Ryan was struggling. He had heard about Voldemort's deeds and knew how terrible the war was more than ten years ago, so he subconsciously resisted the news of Voldemort's resurrection.

 But he also trusted the principal. In this case, Ryan struggled for a while and didn't know what to do.

 He did not say a word until the end of the banquet.

 …
