Chapter 383

No matter what the students think, the Triwizard Tournament is over. The result was not satisfactory, although Hogwarts would have won the championship anyway - either Solim or Harry, but when the students recalled everything that happened during the Triwizard Tournament, they found that except for the first game, the other matches seemed to be very different from what they had imagined, not the difference in the outcome, but the incongruity between the direction of the whole event and the outcome they expected.

It's as if a great painter has done the upper body of a character, and then the lower body is painted by someone who doesn't know anything about drawing – that's how the whole Triwizard Tournament feels like that. All the events that were supposed to take place on the night of the end of the race were cancelled, and the judges hastily declared the end without even announcing the champion. Because of this, I don't know how many students discussed it until the early hours of the morning last night.

But for those students who know more or less inside information, they are actually similar to ordinary people. Harry's school hospital was sealed off and no one was allowed to visit. So Solim became the only one who could tell them the truth.

However, Hermione of Gryffindor didn't have a chance to make it to Slytherin's side this morning - Dumbledore arrived at the Great Hall to everyone's surprise, along with the principals of the other two schools. As the headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore rarely came to the Great Hall to eat, but today he not only came, but the headmasters of the other two schools also came, which obviously had something to announce.

Maybe it's the Triwizard Tournament winner who has finally decided?—— many students thought.

"This year has been an extraordinary one for all of us. Dumbledore was at the front of the professorship, so that everyone could see him.

"If you think I'm going to declare the Triwizard Tournament champion, you're wrong. This championship is not worth mentioning to all of us at all......"

The students couldn't help but start whispering when they heard Dumbledore's words.

“...... Yes, not worth mentioning. Dumbledore didn't bother with the students' exchanges, but continued, "You may wonder what could be more important than winning the Triwizard Tournament, after all, we have been working on it for a whole year. "

Solim sat down expressionlessly and looked at Dumbledore, but he couldn't help muttering to himself: he didn't just want to resurrect Voldemort in the Great Hall......, did he? It's so irrational.

Now the relationship between Fudge and Dumbledore has not reached the point of tearing his face, and although Fudge is frightened and helpless, he can be regarded as accepting the fact that Voldemort has been resurrected. He may have different opinions about some of Dumbledore's thoughts and actions to put into action, but for now, Fudge is still on Dumbledore's side, and he and the Ministry of Magic can always bring some help to Dumbledore.

But if Dumbledore really released the news of Voldemort's resurrection, then who was the last person who wanted Dumbledore to do this? Was it Voldemort? Of course not! The person who didn't want Dumbledore to do it the most was Fudge. Although in Solim's view, the so-called Ministry of Magic is a puppet organization, replacing the Council of Elders to manage ordinary wizards, doing some cookie-cutter, non-nutritious rough work, but for ordinary wizarding society, the Ministry of Magic is still a ruler. And what do the rulers last want to see? It's instability, it's social upheaval. The news of Voldemort's return will definitely cause social unrest, which is the core reason for the tearing between Fudge and Dumbledore, because social turmoil and instability are the biggest threat to the ruler - even if he Fudge is only the nominal ruler of the puppet organization of the Ministry of Magic.

Dumbledore is doing this to dismantle Fudge's platform, Fudge wants to hide the news, and the matter of dealing with Voldemort can be carried out secretly, after all, involving the general public, in addition to causing chaos and turmoil, will not bring any positive effects, if the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix led by Dumbledore can't do anything, do you still expect these ordinary wizards to do it?

Solim understood Fudge's thoughts and felt that the news of Voldemort's resurrection would not have any positive effect, but apparently Dumbledore didn't think so, and he wanted to draw people's attention to the impending danger and make them more vigilant.

"While the Triwizard Tournament was in the midst of its final project, a terrifying thing happened – Voldemort had returned – and he was back in the wizarding world. "

Instead of raising his voice or playing up his tone to tell people about this fact, Dumbledore said it in a flat tone as usual, which even made many people think that Dumbledore was joking.

The students were stunned for a moment, after all, one second they were still talking about the Triwizard Tournament, but who would have thought that the next second, their headmaster would be on Voldemort? They thought that Dumbledore would say something related to the Triwizard Tournament or make a summary of the semester, such as strengthening the unity between the three schools and improving the communication between the schools, but who would have thought that Dumbledore would say such a thing as Voldemort's return? The vast majority of students felt an eerie, unreal feeling – they were not mentally prepared for anything.

"I know it's hard to accept. "

Without much time for the students to digest the news, Dumbledore continued, as if by heart, "But that's the way it is—Voldemort is back in the country and ready to do it again. "

It was as if someone had pressed the mute button in the Great Hall when Dumbledore first uttered the name "Voldemort", and now that the students seemed to have finally come to their senses, a nervous whisper rang out in the Great Hall. Everyone stared at Dumbledore in horror and disbelief.

"The Ministry of Magic doesn't want me to tell you this. Dumbledore continued, "Some of my classmates' parents may have been shocked by what I did—either because they couldn't believe Voldemort had really returned, or because they thought I shouldn't have told you about it, given your young age. However, I believe that it is always better to tell the truth than to lie, and you need to know what is going on. "

Dumbledore glanced at Karkaroff behind him. Karkaroff's face was much better now than the last time Solim had seen him—at least not so pale. He stood up in a panic and walked over the table to Dumbledore, then in front of all the students in the three schools...... Roll up your sleeves.
