Chapter 219 Some are happy and some are sad
The next day, when the Daily Prophet was published, Hogwarts was in an uproar, and the entire wizarding world was in an uproar. A spy war and action drama set by Yang Tian, expanded by Fudge and Scrimgeour, supplemented by many Aurors, and polished by Rita finally appeared in the newspaper, occupying a full eight pages. The ups and downs and twists and turns in it really made readers unable to stop.
At the same time, the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts also received applause. In particular, the nine members of Hogwarts became the objects of pursuit by the majority of wizards, and letters of greeting and concern came like snowflakes.
Of course, among the numerous praises and admiration, there are also many doubts. Many people firmly believe that the Dark Lord had died at the hands of Harry Potter in the last wizard war, and the Ministry of Magic and the teachers and students of Hogwarts are undoubtedly putting on a show. Moreover, as time goes by, such doubts continue to spread...
However, a notice from the Ministry of Magic shut up all these people. The content of the notice was very simple. In the commendation meeting for relevant personnel later, there would be a segment where the Dark Lord's soul would be displayed to the public. The details of the meeting would be announced later. The Ministry of Magic sincerely welcomes every enthusiastic wizard to come and watch the ceremony. Good man, what else can we say? Just wait and see the evidence......
Almost at the same time, the group of nine was surrounded by several sad faces. It was speechless. The nine of them finally got rid of the enthusiastic crowd and ran towards the abandoned classroom in a panic, but they were intercepted by these old people halfway. The Weasley brothers, Angelina, Elena, Cedric, and the Malfoy trio... Yang Tian couldn't figure it out. How could these people who were so hostile to each other before come together to block them? Moreover, what the hell is this expression?
Before Yang Tian and the others could ask, George took the lead and fired: "Yang Tian! There is such a fun thing, but you didn't call us. You don't treat us as brothers at all."
"That's right, that's so mean." Fred also shouted.
Although the others did not speak, the resentment in their eyes was visible to the naked eye.
"That's not the case. It's not that I won't take you with me this time. It's just an accident, okay?" Yang Tian was speechless. I really can't take you with me. We haven't reached that level of trust yet! But can I say this?
"Hmph!" There was no need for anyone else to speak, as Senior Elena's tone had already expressed everyone's views.
Penelope hurriedly explained, "This time it was indeed an accident. Remember the dark holy water from before? It almost killed Yang Tian."
Several people nodded when they heard this. It was obvious that their attention had been diverted by Penelope's words.
"After Yang Tian returned home to recuperate, we have been investigating the truth of the matter. We unexpectedly discovered that Qi Luo seemed to be involved in this matter. A few days ago, we found him sneaking around again, and we thought he was going to harm Yang Tian again, so we decided to follow Qi Luo temporarily. We never thought that there was such a big trap here!"
After hearing this, several people suddenly realized what was going on. Yang Tian and other friends also quietly gave a thumbs up. It must be said that with Penelope here, it’s really nice!
"So what are you going to do next?" Cedric asked curiously.
"What else can we do? Leave everything to the school and the Ministry of Magic. We are just a group of little wizards, what else can we do?" Yang Tian said helplessly.
"No matter what, we can't just let this go. It's all Yang Tian's fault!" Angelina suddenly shouted, "Arrange some Chinese food for me!"
"Hahaha!" The friends were all amused by Angelina's funny look.
"Senior, don't steal our lines!" The Weasley brothers exclaimed...
The play helped to eliminate the gap between the old and new members of the study group, but some were happy while others were sad. In sharp contrast to the joy here, Harry and Ron in the corner were in a low mood.
But Ron grabbed Harry's shoulders and shook him hard. He asked hysterically, "Harry! Do you believe what the newspaper said?"
"Ron, we should stay calm. The Daily Prophet and the announcement from the Ministry of Magic are all telling us that this is true." Harry said in a low voice, "I just didn't expect that Snape really had nothing to do with this."
Hearing this, Ron immediately sat down on the ground like a deflated ball: "Maybe, maybe there are other possibilities..."
"No, Ron." Harry interrupted Ron and said, "There is no other possibility. We should let it go!"
"Harry, you..." Ron's eyes were full of disappointment and confusion.
"Ron, listen to me. No matter how much you hate Yang Tian, all of this has become a fact. Just like no matter how much I hate Snape, he has nothing to do with this matter! I know that we have been investigating this matter for so long, but it ended up like this. It is normal that we can't accept it. But everything is really over!" Harry looked at Ron seriously and said:
"Look at us now. Don't you think we have fallen too far behind? Let's not talk about the little wizards around Yang Tian for now. Let's just talk about us in Gryffindor, Seamus Finnigan, Dean Thomas, and even Lavender Brown... They all admire Yang Tian and are working hard to catch up with the pace of that study group, hoping that one day they can join this group with their own strength."
"What do you mean by that?" Ron asked.
"I want to tell you that we are in Hogwarts now, and this is a magic school. Only if we have strong strength can we gain everyone's recognition." Harry said firmly.
"Harry, aren't you being too absolute? Except for Seamus Finnigan, the people you just mentioned aren't as hardworking as you say, right? I often see them playing wizard chess, chatting, or going out at night?" For some reason, Ron felt that Harry seemed to be more abnormal than himself today. Harry's statement seemed a little too extreme. He no longer cared about being angry, but comforted Harry instead.
"No, Ron! You've always known that I don't want to bear the reputation of a so-called savior! I didn't know what was going on at all! Now it seems that the so-called victory of me over Voldemort and saving the wizarding world is just a complete joke, isn't it?" Harry's voice lowered.
"Don't talk nonsense, Harry. You didn't say this yourself. It's all been clearly recorded in various books and magazines. It's a fact recognized by the wizarding world!" Ron advised.
"That's not important! What's important is that I have the reputation of a savior, but I don't have the strength to match it! We need to be strong!" Harry said stubbornly.
"But...but we are just first-year wizards." Ron said a little at a loss.
"Yang Tian is also a first-year wizard! But he and his friends did it a few days ago!" Harry persisted.
"Harry..." Ron didn't know how to persuade Harry anymore.
"Ron, you asked me before, now I ask you. Come with me, we need to be strong!" Harry said with finality.
Ron was also helpless. Today's Harry really made him feel strange, but this was his best friend! Without saying anything more, Ron followed Harry's footsteps with a heavy heart...
