Chapter 582 Harry Is Targeted

Today was destined to be a sleepless night for Dumbledore and most of the professors.

When the next day came, Kyle found that there were suddenly fewer people in the castle.

Sirius was gone, as were Snape and Professor Moody.

Hagrid and Ms. Maxime of Beauxbatons seemed to have gone to the principal's office.

"We could have stayed a few more days," Fleur said, "but Ms. Maxime insisted on leaving today. She seemed to have something important to do. I asked her, but she refused to tell me."

They were outside the castle, preparing to send the students of Beauxbatons away.

The door of Hagrid's cabin was closed, and the tall rune horses pulled carriages as big as houses and stopped in the open space not far in front.

As for the students of Durmstrang... perhaps they got some news. As early as the early morning, another professor who was traveling with them drove the boat back, and took away Viktor Krum who was recovering from his injuries.

Soon, all the students of Beauxbatons boarded the carriage. They leaned out of the doors and windows and waved goodbye to their new friends outside.

After Fleur sent Gabrielle and a suitcase to the carriage, she turned around and hugged Connor.

She was actually reluctant to leave. This year at Hogwarts was the best school life she had ever experienced.

She was also very reluctant to leave the Hufflepuff dormitory. Most people there were very sincere and had no purpose when getting along.

Although those boys were inevitably affected by her veela blood, they did not do anything rude or annoying.

There was also little jealousy in the eyes of the girls.

The influence of half-blood veela was minimized here.

Fleur was not clear about the situation of the other three colleges, but Hufflepuff could be said to be the college life she wanted most.

Unfortunately, the Triwizard Tournament was over and she had to go back. Fortunately, she graduated this year and could come here again at any time.

At this time, Professor Lockneil's voice of urging came from the carriage.

Fleur hugged Kyle one last time, then turned around and ran back to the carriage.

A few minutes later, the huge rune horse took off into the air, pulling the carriage away.

The carriage became smaller and smaller until it could no longer be seen, and the people on the field returned to the castle.

Although there were only twenty or so fewer students, the auditorium seemed to have become much emptier all of a sudden.

"I still haven't realized that the Triwizard Tournament is over."

"Yeah, this year's Hogwarts is really lively..."

"I hope there will be such a game in the future. I think it's much more lively than Quidditch."

"What did you say?"

"The Triwizard Tournament is not as good as Quidditch!"

Similar discussions can be heard in every corner of the castle, but some people are not in this mood.

Cedric, Qiu, Fred and George, they have been worried since morning.

"Kyle, are you sure you're not kidding? The You-Know-Who is really back?"

"I'm sure, Fred." Kyle said, "You've asked three times in this hour, and Mrs. Weasley knows about this. You can write a letter home."

"Of course we believe you..." George said, "But this is too unbelievable. You have to give us some time to accept it."

Kyle glanced at them, "To be honest, I always thought you would be better than Cedric, but he only asked twice at that time."

"We should react normally." Fred said a little exaggeratedly, "That's the You-Know-Who. Is there anyone in the entire wizarding world who can calmly accept his comeback?"

"No one." George said firmly.

"Will we not be able to come to school next year?"

At this time, Qiu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "If Voldemort attacks Hogwarts, the school will definitely be closed..."

"Don't worry about this." Kyle waved his hand and said: "Even more than ten years ago, when the Death Eaters were at their most powerful, Hogwarts had never been closed. At that time, this was the only place that could provide shelter for students, unless they didn't want to come...

"And the situation you said is unlikely to happen in a short period of time. After all, Voldemort has just resurrected..."

"Oh, please Kyle, can you stop saying that name?" Fred said with a bitter face, "Every time you say it, my legs will shake."

"Well... okay. "

Kyle thought about it and suddenly realized that this really needs to be paid attention to... Voldemort has cast a spell on this name. Once someone says it, he will immediately know where the other person is.

Although Kyle is not afraid, there are other people around, and it would be bad to implicate them.

"The mysterious man..." Kyle continued: "He has just been resurrected, and there are still many things to do... Gather subordinates and expand his power. He can't take care of this place for the time being.

"And yesterday, Professor Dumbledore just gave him a surprise. He should not have the courage to come to Hogwarts to cause trouble in a short time."

"What a pity." George sighed faintly, "Why didn't Dumbledore kill him again at that time."

"Because Vol... The mysterious man is not stupid." Kyle said, "He can't fight with Professor Dumbledore when he just resurrected."

"I know..." George muttered, "I'm just thinking about it. It would be great if it's true."

"Who says it's not true?" Fred also sighed.

...

The Ministry of Magic moved faster than Kyle thought.

The next morning, a new copy of the Daily Prophet was delivered to Hogwarts.

But it didn't mention anything about Voldemort, but about Harry. I don't know if it was Fudge's request, but the newspaper described Harry as mentally ill.

It also said that in order to get attention, he made up an outrageous story, saying that he was kidnapped by the Death Eaters, and tried to use the scar on his forehead and Voldemort to attract everyone's attention.

Then when it was time for dinner, Dumbledore also came. He first denied the slander of Harry in the Daily Prophet, and then asked everyone not to disturb Harry and not to ask him questions.

In the next few days, no one discussed the Triwizard Tournament that had just ended, or the other two schools that had already left. Everyone was discussing the content of the newspaper, or whether Harry was really trying to attract attention.

However, Dumbledore's words also worked. At his request, no one pestered Harry to ask questions.

However, this effect was a bit too good. Most people have been avoiding Harry recently. When they occasionally met in the corridor, they would walk around him, cover their mouths with their hands, and whisper to each other.

Without exception, these people were more inclined to the statement in the Daily Prophet, thinking that Harry was not a warrior and felt unbalanced, so he came up with this reason to show off.

However, Harry himself didn't care. For him, as long as Hermione and Ron didn't doubt him, it was enough.

Just like Kyle told Connor and Cedric the truth, Harry didn't hide it from his friends.

Fortunately, they all believed it.

Fudge thought that his scar would ache slightly was a joke and didn't believe it anyway, but Hermione and Ron didn't think so. When they were in the dormitory, Ron even scolded Fudge for being a fool.

This made Harry very happy.
