Chapter 209 Dumbledore’s new ideas

Hearing Dumbledore read his name aloud, Glenn sighed slightly in his heart, with a cultured and indifferent expression on his face.
At the same time, he silently turned off the system notification tone.
"In the process of defending the Philosopher's Stone, he stepped forward at the most critical moment, showing strength far beyond that of his peers, and completely shattered the bandit's dream."
Dumbledore's voice paused slightly and his eyes fell on Glenn.
"One thing, I must admit - even I, at this age, am still not at such an outstanding level..."
hiss...
Glenn managed to maintain a calm expression, but he took a breath of cold air in his heart.
Although he had been mentally prepared, he still didn't expect that Dumbledore's plan was to praise him so highly.
He was really eager to establish Glenn's tall image, even going so far as to publicly admit that Glenn was better than him, even if it was only in comparison to his school days.
As expected, there was an uproar in the auditorium.
Who would have thought that such a big thing could happen at an ordinary year-end dinner.
If there were reporters from the Daily Prophet present, I’m afraid they would have already thought of the next day’s front page headline——
"The Man Stronger Than Dumbledore - Glenn Ollivander, Identity Revealed"
Glenn's friendship level jumped wildly again, and the exchange currency instantly exceeded the one hundred thousand mark.
Dumbledore did not ask the young wizards to quiet down as he had done several times before, but quietly watched them discuss animatedly.
But neither he nor Glenn found out——
Among the excited crowd, Master Draco's eyes flashed with a stern look.
When the noise died down, Dumbledore spoke again.
"To that I'll add - fifty points for Ravenclaw!"
The eaglets of Ravenclaw, whose hearts had been hanging for a long time, finally returned to their original position.Fifty points, enough for them to return to the Academy Cup title.
Dumbledore waved his hand gently, and the gems in the huge hourglass changed, and Ravenclaw returned to the number one position.
"I think you all probably already know the story about the Philosopher's Stone, right?"
His eyes swept around the auditorium, and the cheers and chatter gradually died down.
"I think that as a member of Hogwarts, you have the right to know what happens in the school. As you can see, Professor Quirrell is the robber who covets the Sorcerer's Stone."
This news has spread to every corner of Hogwarts, and everyone knows it even if Dumbledore doesn't say it.
"As for the real reason why he stole the Sorcerer's Stone, we are not yet clear." Dumbledore said meaningfully, "But I think everyone should already know the efficacy of the Sorcerer's Stone, right?"
The little wizards didn't understand the purpose of his question and were a little confused for a while. Only a few scattered people responded.
"So, there is such a question that is worth thinking about." Dumbledore nodded slightly and continued, "Who has been waiting silently for so many years, eager to make a comeback? Who is clinging to life and waiting for the opportunity?"
He asked a question suddenly, but stopped abruptly.
Most people listened with blank expressions, except for a few people.
Glenn frowned slightly, feeling as if he had heard this sentence somewhere.
Until he saw Harry's reaction, he immediately realized that these words were exactly what Firenze said to Harry in the original book.
This confused him.
For some reason, Dumbledore actually mentioned the information about Voldemort so early this time.If the development of the original work is followed, it should not be until the year of the Goblet of Fire that he mentioned this matter to the public for the first time.
And what’s interesting is that he chose such an ambiguous and strange statement.
I said it, but I didn't say it completely.
Speaking of which, this statement seems more like a foreshadowing. Could it be that the old fox is planning to change to a new publicity idea this time?
Glenn tasted it carefully.Rather than suddenly announcing Voldemort's resurrection, this method of setting the stage in advance and slowly infiltrating it is indeed more appropriate.
At least for most people who are not superstitious about the authority of the Ministry of Magic, it will be easier to accept.
"Okay, I won't take up everyone's time to enjoy the delicious food!" Dumbledore clapped his hands again, "Let us congratulate Ravenclaw again!"
The long table in Ravenclaw once again erupted into deafening cheers, and the friendliness prompts that finally calmed down ushered in another wave of small royalties.
The eaglets, who had long been unable to restrain themselves, crowded around Glenn and pulled him around like a stuffed toy.
Glenn was like a small boat in the wind and waves, drifting involuntarily with the current.
However, relying on his tenacious desire to survive, he politely declined all hugs from the opposite sex, and only touched them lightly with the goblet in his hand.
Roger was sour at this time. Although he helped the team win the Quidditch Cup as captain, Glenn took the limelight alone.
A whole year has passed, and Pansy, the goddess in his mind, has not even looked at him.
Fortunately, with Glenn's subtle persuasion, he gradually let go of his obsession.
...
The last few days before leaving school flew by.
Overnight, their wardrobes were empty except for an outfit suitable for today's weather.Everything else was packed and put into the suitcase.
Notices prohibiting the use of magic during the holidays were also sent to every student.
Since Glenn told the twins about Trace's secret on the train, this notice was no longer much of a deterrent to them.
But for little wizards like Harry who live in a Muggle family, they are not so lucky.
If nothing goes wrong, he will meet a house elf named Dobby in more than a month and be tricked severely.
The trio on the boat boarded the train earlier because they set off earlier.
By the time Glenn and Qiu arrived on the platform in the Yeqi carriage, they had already chosen a compartment and were leaning at the window to greet them.
"Woo~"
With the whistle blowing, the train swayed slightly and set off on time.
Harry sat by the window with a sad look on his face.Until the train drove some distance away, he was still looking back reluctantly at the disappeared castle.
Looking at his disappointed look, Qiu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Look at you, Harry! You keep making a face, as if someone else owes you dozens of Galleons and you won't pay back."
Harry sighed and turned around and said aggrievedly.
"Don't mention it, if you can prevent me from going back to Privet Drive, I'd be willing to pay a hundred Galleons!"
At the same time, he silently turned off the system notification tone.
"In the process of defending the Philosopher's Stone, he stepped forward at the most critical moment, showing strength far beyond that of his peers, and completely shattered the bandit's dream."
