Chapter 3108 - Ch: 131-140

Chapter 131: Voldemort's Resurrection!

Harry kept running in a straight line.

After a short while, he saw a bright light ahead!

When he rushed out, he saw Hode lying next to the wooden platform holding the Triwizard Cup.

"I was wondering how you could possibly be slower than me, Hode, why didn't you take the Triwizard Cup and end the match?" Harry asked, puzzled.

Hode opened his previously tightly closed eyes, then stood up and said with a smile.

"Weren't I waiting for you? I'll let you have this Triwizard Cup, Harry."

Harry:???

"Let it to me?!!! You've got to be kidding! Why?"

Harry's eyes were practically popping out of his head, and his tone was filled with panic.

"Because I wasn't interested in the match at all; I'm purely here to smurf, so hurry up and take it."

"... B-But..."

Hearing Hode's words, Harry still felt he didn't deserve it. He didn't think Hode was smurfing; the guy participated based on real strength, and was only a month older than him.

But before Harry could finish his sentence, Hodeinterrupted him.

"Enough, if I want you to take it, then take it!" Hode directly teleported Harry in front of the Triwizard Cup.

Looking at the silver-glowing Triwizard Cup in front of him, Harry swallowed hard, then saw Hode's firm gaze, and finally extended his left hand.

"Bang——!"

The moment Harry touched the Triwizard Cup, he felt as if his stomach had been snagged by a hook. Harryimmediately realized this was a Portkey!

But a Portkey wouldn't give him time to react, and with an Apparition, it brought Harry to a strange place.

Harry barely managed to steady himself, then looked around with a bewildered expression.

"Holy crap! Where the hell did this bring me? Is this still Hogwarts?"

Strange lawn, strange graveyard, strange hill.

Everything made Harry feel unfamiliar and uneasy.

"Tap— tap—"

At this moment, Harry heard a series of footsteps, then gripped his Wand tightly and looked in the direction the sound was coming from.

"Peter Pettigrew!"

Harry exclaimed in surprise. He never expected Peter to appear before him again. Furthermore, it looked like he was holding a baby in his arms.

"Stop! Don't move! Peter! Where is this?! Why are you here?!"

Harry pointed his Wand at Peter, his tone filled with anger and murderous intent.

As long as Peter dared to move an inch, Harry guaranteed he would kill Peter on the spot to avenge his parents.

"Master... what should we do now?"

Peter asked tremblingly to the person wrapped in clothes in his arms, which left Harry very puzzled.

"Let me take a good look at our famous The Savior—Harry Potter!"

A hoarse voice came over, and Peter hurriedly stripped away the garments, causing Harry to widen his eyes in disbelief.

He saw that what Peter was holding in his arms was an ugly old man with wrinkled skin and a body as small as an infant.

But the pain radiating from the scar on Harry's forehead constantly reminded him that this ugly fellow right before him was his mortal enemy—Voldemort!

"You! You are Voldemort!"

Harry's face was completely distorted, and he said through gritted teeth.

"Hehehe! Yes, that's right! I am the Dark Lord who makes the wizarding world tremble in fear!"

Voldemort grinned and laughed aloud, making his already ugly face even uglier.

"Is that so?! Then go to hell!"

Harry roared angrily, pointing his Wand at Voldemort.

Just as Harry was about to attack, a bolt of red lightning struck from behind Harry, knocking his tightly gripped Wand flying.

Harry turned his head in surprise, and then saw a familiar face.

"Snape! It's you!"

Snape walked past Harry with a gloomy face, then picked up Harry's Wand, and finally stood behind Peter, saying nothing.

"Hehehe! Hurry up and start! I can't wait anymore!"

"Y-Yes! Master!"

Peter said hastily, then freed a hand to take out his Wandand cast a Binding Curse on Harry.

Harry was instantly hit and knocked flying back against the Statue of Death behind him, whereupon the statue's hands trapped Harry tightly.

"Let me go! You damned bastards!"

Harry struggled frantically, but to no avail.

Voldemort and the others paid no attention to Harrywhatsoever. Peter walked over to the prepared cauldron and placed Voldemort inside.

Scald him to death! Scald him to death!

Harry chanted frantically in his heart, as if hoping to curse Voldemort to death this way.

Then Peter picked up the bone from in front of the nearby grave and said: "Bone of the father, unknowingly given, you will renew your son!"

Next, he dropped that bone into the cauldron.

Harry watched this scene in horror; he couldn't believe Peter was resurrecting Voldemort! He wanted to stop it, but he couldn't move at all.

Then Peter took a dagger out from his cloak and said tremblingly.

"Flesh of the servant... willingly given... you will resurrect your... master."

After finishing, Peter fiercely swung the dagger tightly gripped in his left hand toward his right hand.

"Ah!!!"

Peter let out a painful scream, and his right hand had long since fallen into the cauldron.

Harry felt as though his heart was about to jump out of his chest; he had a premonition that Voldemort was truly about to be resurrected!

He didn't understand why the Triwizard Cup had turned into a Portkey, nor did he understand why Hode had made him touch it. If Hode had come instead, he believed Voldemort definitely wouldn't have been resurrected.

But there were no such ifs; right now he was just fish meat on a chopping board, completely powerless.

Soon, Harry saw Peter panting heavily, walking toward him step by step with the dagger in his left hand.

"Blood of the enemy, forcibly taken, you will resurrect your foe!"

Then Peter plunged the dagger into Harry's arm, and the fresh blood stained the dagger red.

Harry endured the excruciating pain without uttering a sound; he didn't want to scream in front of his enemies, as that would only boost their morale.

Peter placed the dagger stained with Harry's blood into the cauldron.

Realizing that his task was complete, Peter collapsed onto the ground, clutching his bleeding right arm in agony.

Soon, the water in the cauldron began to boil, and Harryprayed frantically in his heart.

Scald him to death! Drown him!

But Harry's prayers were unsuccessful.

In the cauldron, a thin, tall, skeleton-like figure slowly appeared.

When Harry looked closely, he discovered that Voldemorthad no nose!

"Clothes."

This was the first sentence Voldemort spoke after opening his mouth. Disregarding his bleeding severed arm, Peterhurriedly picked up the cloak and handed it to Voldemort.

After Voldemort put on the clothes, he took from Peter's hand that Wand which had originally belonged to him, the one that was like a brother to Harry's Wand.

"Well done, Severus. And you, Peter."

Voldemort ignored Peter, who was kowtowing frantically, and walked straight toward Harry.

Looking at that noseless face standing right in front of him, Harry knew.

Voldemort had resurrected!

Chapter 132: The Fated Duel

"Harry Potter! I have always wanted to have a little chat with you!"

Voldemort flashed a terrifying smile, then began pacing around Harry and the statue of Death.

"You know, you are standing on my father's grave right now. Just like your mother, he is filthy and base!"

Hearing Voldemort insult his mother, Harry struggled even more frantically, yet he still could not break free.

"However, they are still somewhat useful, aren't they? Your mother sacrificed herself to save you, and I killed my father. Look, now his remains are coming in handy! His base bones can resurrect the great Voldemort! This is his greatest honor!"

Voldemort returned to stand before Harry, spread his arms wide, and shouted.

Harry only felt disgusted, thinking Voldemort must be mad to utter such words.

Then, Voldemort pointed toward the distant hillside.

"See that house up there? My mother was a witch, yet she fell in love with a Muggle! And she used a love potion to make my father fall in love with her, but in the end, because of that ridiculous love, she restored his senses, and then my father left her! Potter, don't you find that ridiculous! Heh-heh-heh!"

Voldemort grinned widely and laughed, his tone filled with mockery and sarcasm.

"I only think that you are the most ridiculous one of all!"

Even though he was trapped, Harry still mocked Voldemort. He did not know if Hode knew where he was, nor was he sure if he could find him.

But Harry still bravely mocked Voldemort, and even if he were to die, he would never regret it.

However, Voldemort was not as furious as imagined, and instead continued speaking.

"Listen to me finish! Harry Potter! Listen to me reminisce about my family history! It makes me a bit sentimental, heh-heh-heh! But look! My true family has returned!"

Voldemort spread his arms and laughed loudly, and then Apparitions of Wizards manifested everywhere around them, all wearing black cloaks with their faces obscured.

Harry carefully observed the surroundings; there were over seventy Death Eaters in total arriving.

Voldemort seemed to notice this as well, and then knitted his brows tightly.

"Who can tell me how my Death Eaters have been reduced to just these few? Could it be that they all intend to betray me?!"

Voldemort's tone finally revealed anger, which made Harryextremely happy. As long as things didn't go Voldemort's way, he was pleased.

"Ma... Master! They... they have all defected to the one named Hode..."

A Death Eater said in a trembling voice. Voldemortunderstood, and then he rubbed his Egghead.

"Hode... yes, he truly is talented. But he is by no means a match for me, Voldemort! Severus ambushed him long ago, and now—Hode is dead!"

Harry opened his eyes wide in disbelief. Before he came, he had seen Hode safe and sound; how could he possibly be ambushed by Snape!

Then Harry's brain began to work frantically. Suddenly, Harry raised an eyebrow and then looked at Snape.

Seeming to notice Harry's gaze, Snape secretly winked at Harry, and then gazed devoutly at Voldemort like the other Death Eaters.

"Harry: Double agent! I knew it!"

Harry couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If Snapewas a spy, then the news of Hode's death must be a lie to fool Voldemort, and Hode must definitely know all about this!

Therefore, everything, absolutely everything, was according to plan!

Harry was now completely unfazed and instead began to mock Voldemort.

"Hey, Tom! With just you bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, I suggest you hurry up and honestly roll into Azkaban! You aren't even worthy of licking Dumbledore's boots!"

Hearing Harry's words, the Death Eaters were all terrified.

"Bro, seriously! Why are you provoking him? Don't you know that when he gets angry, he takes it out on us Death Eaters?!"

Just as they thought, Voldemort raised his Wand and aimed it at a Death Eater beside him.

"Cruciatus Curse!"

"Ah————!"

A bolt of green light struck a Death Eater, and then that fellow began to scream frantically.

However, Voldemort quickly lifted the magic, and then looked at Snape.

"Severus! Return his Wand to him! I want to have a proper duel with our Savior!"

Snape respectfully nodded, then walked quickly to Harry's side, returned the Wand to him, and said in a nearly inaudible voice.

"Go boldly, everything is according to plan."

After saying that, he retreated behind Voldemort.

Hearing those words, Harry's mouth involuntarily began to curve upward.

"In other words, I can go all out now!"

Harry cast a counter-spell, turning the statue of Death that trapped him back to its original form, while he himself executed a cool landing pose.

Watching this scene, Snape's eye twitched involuntarily.

"Snape: This fellow is indeed just like that damned James!"

Harry raised his Wand and aimed it at Voldemort, saying arrogantly.

"I have defeated you once before! So just a reminder! You—are the challenger!"

"The Death Eaters: This guy has gone mad! Is The Savioractually a fool?! Provoking Voldemort like that!"

"Heh-heh-heh! Arrogant brat! I'm going to peel off all your scales!"

Voldemort smiled with a hideous expression, then similarly raised his Wand.

"Avada Kedavra!"

"Expelliarmus!"

Green and red lightning collided between the two of them, the radiating light illuminating the entire graveyard.

Voldemort was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Harry to be able to contend with him relying solely on the Expelliarmus. This made him feel even more embarrassed, so he increased his strength.

The green lightning became even more dazzling, slowly suppressing Harry's Expelliarmus.

"Heh-heh-heh!" Seeing his magic begin to suppress Harry, Voldemort smiled once more.

However, Harry was no longer that weak version of himself from the original book!

Seeing this, Harry flicked his Wand, deflecting the magic of the two away, and then waved his Wand.

"Release!"

An invisible slash flew rapidly toward Voldemort, but Voldemort seemed to sense that something was amiss, and a Shield Charm instantly appeared.

"Bang!"

The slash hit the Shield Charm, and the two spells canceled each other out. The smile on Voldemort's face froze; he hadn't expected Harry to be able to shatter his Shield Charm.

"It seems I underestimated you! You truly deserve to be called a Savior!"

Voldemort said with a sigh, but his tone was filled with anger.

"Harry: Confringo!"

"Harry: Ambush! Little nobody."

The first lesson Moody taught Harry was never to give the enemy a chance to ambush, and definitely, definitely seize the timing!

Therefore, taking advantage of Voldemort speaking, Harryimmediately used the Blasting Curse.

But this little trick was still not enough to stump Voldemort.

"Protego Totalum"

Voldemort waved his Wand, and a semi-white, semi-transparent barrier covered himself.

"Have you figured out how you want to die? Harry Potter!"

Voldemort finally lost his patience, then used his Magicand shouted loudly.

"Avada Kedavra!"

"Expelliarmus!"

The two of them bombarded each other once more.

Chapter 133: Hogwarts — Assemble!

The Savior and the Dark Lord, Expelliarmus and the Killing Curse.

Their fateful confrontation!

Harry felt his Magic draining away rapidly, but he could not back down.

He didn't know what Hode's plan was, but he knew Hodemust be watching this place, so Harry didn't want to back down even a single step.

Voldemort increased his Magic output once more, and the green light of the Killing Curse bore down on Harry yet again.

"Harry, release Expelliarmus, and let Voldemort's Killing Curse hit you!"

Hode's voice suddenly echoed in Harry's mind, startling him.

"Hode?! Where are you?"

"It's not time for the protagonist to make an entrance yet! Harry, trust me! Do you remember what I said before? You have to die once!"

Harry recalled what Hode had said before; of course he wouldn't forget about this. Looking at the green light drawing closer and closer, Harry confirmed one last time.

"Right now?"

"Right now!"

"Alright!"

Harry said firmly, looking at Voldemort, who wore a triumphant smile, and said with disdain.

"This time, even if you win, the ultimate victor will definitely be us!"

With that, Harry released Expelliarmus, which they were using in a deadlock.

In just a split second, the green lightning struck Harry! Harry didn't feel anything at all, simply closing his eyes just like that.

...

Harry opened his eyes again to find himself in a vast, all-white place that looked just like King's Cross Station, which he visited every year!

"What the heck! Where did this drag me to again? Is this still domestic?"

Harry rubbed his head, looking around in utter bewilderment.

White, so white! White was everywhere!

There was only a single bench in front of him in the entire station, and nothing else.

At that moment, Harry suddenly heard faint gasping coming from beneath the bench, and he looked down out of curiosity.

Then he saw a naked child whose body was covered in red flesh, as if its skin had been stripped off.

The child was curled up, lying trembling under the bench.

Harry curiously reached out his hand to touch it, when a voice came over.

"That is the fragment of Voldemort's Soul remaining inside your body."

Hearing this, Harry immediately stopped his hand, then turned his head and saw Hode walking towards him.

"Hode! Where is this place? I remember getting hit by Voldemort's Killing Curse, right? So am I dead already?"

Facing Harry's series of questions, Hode first sat down on the only chair, then patted the spot next to him, motioning for Harry to sit down first.

Harry sat down very obediently, then waited for Hode to speak.

"First, Voldemort's Soul fragment blocked that Killing Curse for you, so you aren't actually dead. Second, everything you see and happen here is inside your mind."

Harry couldn't help rubbing his head, then said with wide eyes: "So all of this is my imagination?"

"Although these all happen inside your head, who says it isn't real?"

Hode tapped Harry on the head, then continued.

"Now, you and Voldemort are completely separated. As long as the remaining Horcruxes are destroyed, Voldemortwill have no possibility of reviving again."

"Aren't those Horcruxes with you? Then destroy them quickly! And then kill Voldemort!"

Harry said anxiously, as if afraid that Voldemort might escape.

"Of course, but don't you want to pull off something big?"

Harry:???

Harry tilted his head, not understanding what Hode meant.

Hode had Harry lean in to listen, "First you do this... then you do that... and finally..."

"Great idea! I knew this was the right way to fight villains!"

Hearing Hode's words, Harry immediately beamed with joy. But then he asked curiously.

"Then how do I get back?"

"Board the train and head all the way north!"

"Remember! Do not go south! Stick to the north!"

Hode's words rang in Harry's ears, but Harry could no longer see Hode's figure.

"South? North?"

Harry was a bit dazed, but still followed the instructions.

————

"Is everyone ready?"

"Pretty much."

Hode suddenly appeared from the center of the maze beside Dumbledore. The spectators looked over curiously, yet didn't find any sign of the Triwizard Cup.

Ron scratched his head in disbelief.

"Did Hode lose?"

"Guess."

Hearing Ron's words, Hode said playfully, then looked at the crowd preparing to go.

Dumbledore, McGonagall, Moody, James Potter, LilyPotter, Sirius, Lupin, Tonks, Flitwick, Sprout, the Weasleys, the Longbottoms, Kingsley, as well as former members of the Order of the Phoenix and numerous Aurors.

"Dumbledore, did you only call this many people?" Moodylooked at his own side's camp; he alone had called over thirty Aurors, and he never imagined that Dumbledore had merely summoned the former members of the Order of the Phoenix.

"It's enough; the opponents are just a bunch of small fries." Hode waved his hand dismissively, then looked towards Hermione, Ron, Neville, and the Weasley Twins.

"Hermione, and you guys too, Ron, go along as well."

"What? No! That's too dangerous!"

Molly immediately stepped forward to object. Making Harry face Voldemort alone had already caused Molly to fret for a long time, and now asking Hermione and the others to go as well made her even more uneasy.

"Rest assured, Mrs. Weasley. I guarantee they'll be fine. Don't forget I know resurrection Magic."

Molly opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything more; after all, Hode's abilities were truly reassuring.

"Where are we going? What are we doing?" Ron asked in a daze.

"Fight Voldemort and the Death Eaters. Oh right, Neville, catch! When the time comes, chop whatever I tell you to chop."

As Hode spoke, he conjured the Sword of Gryffindor and tossed it to Neville. Fortunately, Neville had quick eyes and nimble hands, grabbing the hilt accurately.

"Fight Voldemort and the Death Eaters?"

This time it wasn't just Ron and the others screaming, but also Karkaroff and others who were eavesdropping nearby.

"What is the meaning of this? Dumbledore?" Madame Maxime stood up, looking at Dumbledore with a horrified expression.

Dumbledore didn't explain to Madame Maxime; instead, he walked to the very front so that all the spectators could see him. Then he pressed the Elder Wand against his throat.

Immediately afterwards, images finally appeared on the huge display screen that had been blank. At the same time, regardless of the ends of the earth, all Wizards possessing mobile phones automatically entered the livestream room.

"Attention viewers!"

Dumbledore's voice resounded across the Quidditch pitch, also leaving Wizards everywhere looking at their phones in bewilderment.

"I am Albus Dumbledore! I am now broadcasting live to the entire world! Because I want to solemnly declare here that Tom Riddle! That is — — — — Voldemort! Has revived!"

"What?"

"How is this possible!"

"Voldemort has revived? Real or fake?"

"Has Dumbledore gone mad?"

Whether it was the spectators at the scene or the Wizards in the livestream room, none of them believed what Dumbledore said.

"I know everyone is unwilling to believe it, but this is the truth! Now! Myself and them — —"

Dumbledore pointed his finger at Hode and the others, and the camera in the sky also focused on them.

"These fearless heroes! We will head to Little Hangletonvillage! To defeat Voldemort! For those who have died! For those who have survived! And for a bright future!"

Hearing Dumbledore's words, all the Wizards watching this live broadcast were too shocked to speak.

Too sudden! Everything was too sudden!

They hadn't even accepted the fact of Voldemort's revival yet, and then they heard that Dumbledore intended to lead these dozens of people to confront Voldemort! Among them were even students!

"I don't have too many words for you all, I just hope everyone will watch closely! Watch us defeat Voldemort! Thank you!"

Having finished speaking, Dumbledore returned to Hode's side.

"When are we setting off?"

Hode: "Wait for Harry to say those words!"

——————

"Harry Potter is dead!"

Voldemort spread his arms and laughed at the Death Eaters. And the Death Eaters cooperated by laughing loudly as well, even Snape, who was an undercover agent, did the same.

But Snape's eyes were fixed on Harry's corpse. Although Dumbledore had already explained the plan, he was still worried: what if Harry didn't revive?

At this moment, Harry was slowly opening his eyes, and then saw Voldemort and the Death Eaters laughing wildly.

"Hode! Hode! Are you still there?"

Harry said in an extremely weak voice, and then he heard Hode's voice.

"Here! I've always been here! Now, proceed according to plan!"

Upon hearing Hode's words, Harry gripped his Wand and immediately stood up.

"Expelliarmus!"

Seeming to notice the movement behind him, Voldemortinstantly cast a Shield Charm to protect himself, then turned around and saw an incredible sight.

"You're not dead! How is that possible!"

Voldemort screamed in shock; he couldn't believe his Killing Curse failed to kill Harry Potter yet again.

Harry: "I'm back! I never left!"

Hearing Harry's words, Voldemort felt like he was about to explode with anger!

Why is this stinking Potter so damn hard to kill? He still didn't die from that?

When the Death Eaters saw that Harry wasn't dead, they also began to panic.

If even this couldn't kill Harry, does that mean Voldemortis bound to be defeated at Harry Potter's hands?

This was the thought in their hearts.

Seeming to sense the thoughts of the Death Eaters behind him, Voldemort said with disdain.

"I'd like to see if you really cannot be killed by the Killing Curse!"

Then, Voldemort raised his Wand, and the tip began to emit an eerie green light.

But Harry showed no fear whatsoever, not even picking up his Wand.

"Sorry, your opponent isn't me anymore!"

"What?"

Voldemort didn't understand what Harry meant by this; he thought Harry had been frightened out of his wits.

But very soon, he understood.

"To your left!"

A voice rang in everyone's ears, and then several golden portals appeared from behind Harry.

Harry turned around in pleasant surprise — —

Stepping out of the portal first was none other than Harry's close friend — — Ron Weasley!

Then — —

Neville Longbottom!

Draco Malfoy!

Fred Weasley!

George Weasley!

Harry looked at his friends coming to help him with tears of joy.

And from the other portals slowly walked people he was familiar with.

Dumbledore, McGonagall, Moody, and various Professors, and then Harry saw his parents, the Weasleys, the Longbottoms, and so on.

Harry: "Everyone!"

Amidst the incredulous gazes of Voldemort and the Death Eaters, the crowd from Hogwarts walked to Harry's side.

Then, several flying cameras began streaming out of the portals, broadcasting the entire scene live.

Finally, our protagonist — the fierce dragon crossing the river of Hogwarts, the one with all the firepower, the man of greatest stats, the man of peak mechanics, the ultimate cheater — — — —

Hode Dumbledore Grindelwald!

Makes a grand appearance!

Hode was seen flying through the portal holding Hermione, landing at the very front of the crowd with thunderous momentum.

"Hode! How is this possible!"

Voldemort looked at Hode in disbelief; Snape had clearly said Hode was killed by his sneak attack!

"Snape!"

Voldemort turned his head to look in Snape's direction, but Snape had already raised his Wand and shouted: "Confringo!"

A massive explosion suddenly erupted, instantly blowing five unprepared Death Eaters into pieces.

Then Snape Apparated into Hode's camp.

"You actually betrayed me! Severus Snape!"

Voldemort roared. He had never been this furious, being toyed with like a clown by countless people!

"Stop howling, little Tom."

Hode put Hermione down, walked to the very center of the two camps, and then said with a smile.

"Your daddy here once said, in Hogwarts, you only count as a — — little loli!"

"Hode! Dumbledore! I'm going to kill you! I want you dead!"

Voldemort shouted with a ferocious expression, veins bulging all over his bald head! Meanwhile, the Death Eaters behind Voldemort saw that things were going south and wanted to leave using Apparition, only to suddenly find that they couldn't use it.

As early as when Snape Apparated back, Hode had cast an Anti-Apparition Jinx over a radius of one thousand meters.

Looking at his parents, Dumbledore and the others around him, as well as Hode in front, Harry finally felt at ease, and then said arrogantly to Voldemort.

"Just for the record, you are the challenger!"

And Hode took over.

"Hogwarts! Assemble!"

Chapter 134: Voldemort — Death

The two sides stood facing each other in tense confrontation.

Voldemort looked at Hode with a ferocious expression, truly wanting to tear the few people in front of him to pieces.

But he knew that was unrealistic; the gap in strength between the two sides was simply too vast.

His side was filled with a bunch of good-for-nothings, and his main combat forces were either locked up in Azkabanor dead. And what about the opposite side?

Dumbledore, Hode, McGonagall, Snape, Moody... he even saw James and Lily, whom he had killed long ago!

"How is it possible! Why are you guys still alive too?"

James and Lily exchanged a glance, then said.

"We've returned from hell, and our purpose is to drag you down into hell!"

Hearing this, Voldemort was so infuriated he laughed. He had been kept completely in the dark like a clown, knowing nothing at all.

"Jie jie jie! Then let's see who dies! Death Eaters — get them!"

The Death Eaters exchanged glances, each seeing reluctance in the other's eyes. But there was no help for it; they had already chosen a side and couldn't escape, so they could only brace themselves and charge forward.

"Kill!!!"

One Death Eater let out a loud shout, trying to bolster his own courage, and then all the Death Eaters raised their Wands.

Seeing this scene, Hode also raised his Wand and issued a command.

"Hogwarts! GO!"

Everyone: "Oh!!!"

In an instant.

The magic of the two sides began to collide.

Red, green, white, yellow...

magics of various colors collided with one another, and the dazzling radiance left everyone watching this live broadcast dizzy.

Although Hode's side had fewer people than the Death Eaters, their combat power was completely on a different tier.

Just the Aurors brought by Moody could easily suppress their matched Death Eaters, not to mention existences like Moody, McGonagall, James, Sirius, and Snape who could take on multiple opponents at once.

And young students like Hermione, Harry, and Ron were also able to defeat ordinary Death Eaters.

The strongest two, Hode and Dumbledore, didn't even move, just standing there in a standoff with Voldemort.

Then, in mere dozens of seconds, the Death Eaters suffered heavy losses, with signs of defeat fully apparent.

But Voldemort wasn't panicked at all; as long as his Horcruxes hadn't all been destroyed, he would absolutely not die! This was his trump card for being so fearless! Even if he lost now, he still had a chance to make a comeback.

"Neville! Chop all of these up!"

Just as Voldemort was thinking this, Hode's voice rang out across the battlefield.

Then revealing the things he was incomparably familiar with —

Ravenclaw's Diadem

Hufflepuff's Cup

Slytherin's Locket

The Gaunt family ring

Those were the Horcruxes he had created! They were things of incomparable importance to him!

Hode tossed these items over to Neville, who was holding the Sword of Gryffindor in one hand and attacking Death Eaters with a Wand in the other, then said.

"Quickly chop these things up! I'll enchant you!"

As his voice fell, the sword in Neville's hand instantly began to spew flames and burn continuously, just like a flaming sword.

"No!"

Voldemort let out an angry roar, then black mist billowed all over his body as he flew towards Neville.

But Dumbledore blocked Voldemort's flight path.

"Tom, you should pay the price for the mistakes you committed in the past."

"Dumbledore!" Voldemort shouted loudly.

Then the two began a fierce confrontation; Voldemort's various magics emerged endlessly, while Dumbledorecountered every move.

The audience outside was deeply captivated by this battle.

Seeing how panicked Voldemort was, Neville didn't hesitate at all, immediately raising the Sword of Gryffindorand fiercely slashing down at the four Horcruxes.

"No! Don't!"

Voldemort widened his eyes, watching with a face full of terror, but he was powerless and could only watch as Neville slashed all of his Horcruxes apart with a single stroke.

"Clang!"

When Neville completed his task, Voldemort felt himself become incomparably weak, no longer able to sense the presence of any Horcruxes.

Then Voldemort plummeted from the air, collapsing limply to the ground.

"You! How dare you!"

Voldemort looked through gritted teeth at everyone opposite him; at this moment, his anger had reached its peak, and the Wand in his hand emitted an incomparably dazzling green light.

"I choose you! Harry Potter! Go smash that noseless fellow opposite us to Death!"

Harry: "Received!"

Seeing Voldemort so weak right now, of course Harry had to beat a drowning dog!

"Just you?! Avada Kedavra!!!"

Voldemort let out an angry roar, and then his tightly gripped Wand shot green lightning toward Harry.

Harry didn't show weakness either, immediately raising his Wand.

"Expelliarmus!"

The bright red lightning collided with it, and the resulting shockwave even shattered the grave of Voldemort's father nearby.

Just as the other Death Eaters prepared to help, Hodesuddenly said: "Release!"

Countless slashes instantly cut Voldemort's Death Eaterarmy in half.

Seeing Hode make his move and split all the Death Eaters in half, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, except for Voldemort who was confronting Harry, all other Death Eaters had been eliminated.

Harry: "You no longer have any chance of a comeback! Voldemort! I am going to completely kill you right here!"

Roaring angrily, Harry channeled all of his Magic into his Wand.

Then Harry's red lightning began to suppress Voldemort's Killing Curse.

"No! Impossible! I am Voldemort!!!"

Looking at the red light drawing closer and closer, Voldemort's face was filled with fear.

He feared Death; in order to live, Voldemort did not hesitate to split his Soul to achieve immortality.

He did not want to die, but fate did not favor Voldemort.

Harry's Expelliarmus completely overpowered the Killing Curse, and the red lightning instantly struck the extremely weak Voldemort.

His Wand was knocked high into the air, and finally snatched up by Harry.

When Harry's Expelliarmus struck Voldemort, everyone understood that Voldemort no longer had any possibility of winning, and everything was about to end!

Ron said with an excited mood:

"That means..."

Hode nods.

"That's right! Harry won!"

The greatest battle achievement, engraved in Little Hangleton!

The audience outside all stood up one after another, looking expectantly at the image on the screen.

Everyone looked at Voldemort —

Seeing his body begin to slowly decompose into something like dust —

Until Voldemort completely turned into dust and drifted away with the wind.

Voldemort was dead, just like that.

There was no earth-shattering Death, he merely vanished into dust, dying simply, ordinarily, and even somewhat ridiculously.

"Is he dead?"

Ron swallowed hard, eagerly wanting to hear the answer he desired in his heart.

"Yes, Tom is completely dead."

Dumbledore nods, then walked over to Harry's side and gently patted his shoulder.

"Well done, Harry! Now the wizarding world will be completely at peace!"

Seemingly feeling the sense of security brought by Dumbledore, or perhaps because his fated enemy Voldemort was dead, Harry now felt completely light-hearted all over without any pressure; he just wanted to go back and have a good sleep.

The audience outside and the Wizards watching this live broadcast all began to cheer!

Voldemort had been resurrected, and then killed once more! Everything had come to an end!

Ginny and Luna, who hadn't participated, hugged tightly together, and the Hogwarts students also enviously watched Ron and the others; being able to participate in such a war, even if they died, it would have been worth the price of admission!

"Alright, it's all over, we are going to return in triumphant victory too!"

Hode said, opening a portal once more.

"You guys go back first; we still need to clean up the scene."

Moody said as he ordered his subordinate Aurors to begin sorting through the bodies of the Death Eaters.

Tonks wore a helpless expression; she also wanted to go back with Lupin to thoroughly enjoy everyone's cheers, but who told her to be an intern Auror under Moody.

"Tonks, you go on first; this place doesn't need an intern Auror like you to help out."

Moody seemed to sense Tonks's thoughts, so he told her to hurry back.

Tonks: "Thanks, Boss!" (^ v ^)

Chapter 135: This is the genuine version after all! Unlike the neighbors who are always dying off!"

"It's finally over! What Voldemort, wasn't he still defeated by our hands! The few of us are truly strong!"

Ron said with his hands on his hips and an arrogant look on his face.

"Yeah! Everything is over!"

Harry said in agreement, then stroked the lightning-shaped scar on his forehead that had accompanied him for fourteen years.

Ever since Voldemort turned to dust and drifted away with the wind, his scar had not ached again.

He could feel that the connection between him and Voldemort was completely severed, a feeling of relief he had never experienced in all these dozen years.

"Stop waxing poetic, I think everyone at Hogwarts is already prepared to throw a proper celebration!"

Hode walked over slowly, holding Hermione's hand, followed by Dumbledore and the others.

"Hode, why did you want me to kill Voldemort? After Neville destroyed the Horcrux, you should have been able to kill Voldemort in an instant."

Harry didn't understand why Hode wanted him to kill Voldemort.

"Because you are The Savior after all! And I figured Voldemort definitely wouldn't want to die at your hands twice, so of course I couldn't grant his wish."

Hode said jokingly, prompting everyone to burst into laughter.

Harry also realized that Voldemort had indeed died at his hands twice, and each time had been so ridiculous.

"Let's go! Let us return in triumph!"

——Hogwarts.

In the Quidditch stands, everyone watched the portalemitting a golden glow with bated breath.

Including Krum and Fleur, who had already come out.

Originally, without the obstruction of Barty Jr. as in the original work, the two of them successfully reached the center of the maze, only to find that the Triwizard Cup was already gone, and they assumed it had been taken away by Hode.

Although it was frustrating, given Hode's strength, taking the Triwizard Cup was a matter of course.

Then the two walked out of the maze, only to find that neither Hode nor Harry was there, nor was Dumbledore.

Then they found images appearing on the screen above, and later understood the course of events through their classmates' explanations.

Under everyone's expectant gazes, Hode took Hermione's hand and stepped out of the portal first!

Immediately following were Harry, Ron, Dumbledore...

When they returned to Hogwarts, everyone took a deep breath, and then erupted into earth-shattering cheers!

Shouts! Cheers! Roars endlessly!

At the same time, countless Wizards drew their Wands, shooting pre-prepared fireworks into the sky.

Red, green, blue, yellow.

The night sky of Hogwarts had never been so bright!

Nor had it ever been so lively!

Hode looked at this scene——brilliant fireworks, passionate shouts, familiar friends and teachers all around. Not a single one was missing!

"This is more like it! This is the genuine version! Unlike the neighbors who are always dying off!"

"What are you talking about?"

Hermione looked at Hode strangely, not understanding what kind of thunderous language he was speaking again.

"Nothing, I'm just sighing with emotion that I created a perfect timeline!"

Harry, Ron, and the others waved proudly to the students of Hogwarts, enjoying the cheers brought by everyone.

Then they saw countless spectators coming down from the viewing stands and rushing toward them.

Everyone was shouting, surrounding Harry and the others, and then hugging them.

But soon, Harry felt someone touching him!

Arms, neck, abdomen, back, even his butt!

He could feel countless hands wildly touching him, pulling him! Desperately trying to make contact with him!

Hundreds of people crowded together like this, everyone wanted to touch the man who had defeated Voldemorttwice!

Because of him! The Dark Lord whose name must not be spoken had completely died!

Harry tried his best to protect his private parts, just in case someone was heavy-handed and caused injury to his little brother.

Ron, Neville, and the others suffered the same treatment, except their side didn't have as many people, nor were they as crazy.

Neville was surrounded by the crowd, all wanting to touch the Sword of Gryffindor that had destroyed Voldemort's four Horcruxes, which left Neville at a loss for what to do.

Ron wasn't shy at all, wildly boasting to the crowd about his battle achievements.

The Weasley Twins were also surrounded by a group of people, and then they were lifted up by the crowd.

The two accepted it readily, immediately taking a Hogwarts flag handed over by someone and holding it high.

Someone even wanted to touch Hode! But was scared away by the aura Hode exuded.

Then Peeves popped out from nowhere, singing a song he had made up himself.

"Hogwarts wins a complete victory, Voldemort's body dies and his soul disperses!"

"Hode and Harry show their divine might, all villains go see Merlin!"

"If you ask what on earth happened, everyone just needs to revel to their heart's content!"

"Hey! Peeves! Your singing is really terrible!"

The Weasley Twins laughed loudly, prompting others to burst into laughter as well.

"Tch, today this lord won't bicker with you."

Peeves made a face at the Weasley Twins, then flew away elsewhere while singing.

"Dumbledore! Is Vold... You-Know-Who really dead? Will he really not appear again?"

Karkaroff ran in a panic to Dumbledore's front, his eyes filled with nervousness and anticipation.

Following behind were Madame Maxime, Ludo, Barty, and Fudge.

"Yes, Karkaroff. You don't need to use the word You-Know-Who anymore, because Voldemort has been thoroughly and completely killed by Harry."

"That's great! That's great! Hahahaha! Voldemort was eliminated during my term of office!"

Upon hearing Dumbledore's words, Fudge immediately became so happy that he started dancing around with joy.

Voldemort was eliminated during his term of office! How much gold content did this sentence have!

Fudge could already imagine himself passing the Minister for Magic election with unanimous votes, serving consecutively as Minister for Magic for multiple terms.

But he didn't know that whether he could be re-elected as Minister did not depend on his resume, but rather on who Hode wanted to be Minister—that person would be the real Minister.

"Alright! I know everyone is happy, Voldemort has been eliminated by Harry, and the wizarding world has finally welcomed long-lost peace! But before we celebrate, we still need to let the Triwizard Tournament completely come to an end."

Everyone looked at each other, and then curiously looked at Hode and Harry.

Harry was put down by the crowd, then immediately ran to Hode's side.

"Hode, I think you are the true champion! It is only right that you should win the competition!"

Harry's gaze was very resolute.

He always had a feeling that without Hode as a person, he seemed like he would lose a lot.

It was as if someone he loved would meet an untimely Death!

He didn't understand why he had this kind of thought, but he knew that Hode really helped him a lot, lot!

His parents were resurrected by Hode, his godfather was able to clear his name, and his enemy Voldemortcompletely died.

Therefore, he didn't want to take away the glory that rightfully belonged to Hode.

Thus Harry grabbed Hode's hand and raised it high, then shouted loudly.

"The Triwizard Cup was ultimately won by Hode! The winner is——Hode Dumbledore Grindelwald!"

"OHHHHHHHH!"

Everyone started cheering!

The deafening shouts continued endlessly, and the lifted Weasley Twins also took out their Wands and pointed them at the sky.

The next second, an image of Hode's handsome face appeared in the sky above Hogwarts.

"Not bad, not indulging in vanity."

Hode patted Harry's shoulder admiringly, only to see Harrysmile helplessly.

"My title as The Savior is already enough to make people understand how troublesome these titles are."

And Dumbledore also opened his arms, smiling as he said to the students: "Then——I announce! The ultimate winner of the Triwizard Tournament is————Hode Dumbledore Grindelwald!"

The students could see the happiness in Dumbledore's eyes, and it was the first time they had ever seen Dumbledore so happy.

"Oh!!!" × N

The students also raised their arms and shouted high.

Dumbledore continued: "And! Tomorrow I'm giving all the students a day off! Let's celebrate properly!"

Chapter 136 Harry: What the heck happened yesterday?

Ouch!

It hurts so much!

Harry lay on the floor, holding his forehead.

It wasn't the pain from the scar caused by Voldemort, but rather a headache purely from last night's indulgence.

Harry barely controlled his weak body and managed to sit up.

Then Harry began to recall the blurry memory fragments of yesterday.

He remembered that at the beginning, he seemed to be drinking with his dad and godfather, and then he saw Snape hugging his mom.

After that, the three of them started beating up Snape... Then it seemed like his mom stopped them.

Then he seemed to be drinking with everyone again and chatting with Ginny...

Thinking of this, Harry suddenly became sober! Because in his intermittent memories, he seemed to have confessed to Ginny!

And Ginny actually agreed!

Harry jumped to his feet, and then saw Ron and Nevillealso lying on the ground sleeping.

Harry touched his forehead again, recalling what happened later.

It seemed that after his successful confession, he dragged Ginny to tell his parents and godfather about it, and then in front of Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, he said he would definitely give Ginny happiness and asked them to bless them.

Thinking of this, Harry was already sweating profusely.

He couldn't imagine how he could have been so bold!

He had forgotten everything that happened afterwards, remembering only that the last image was of him actually hugging Ginny and crying!

Not daring to guess further, Harry hurriedly shook the sleeping Ron and Neville.

"Wake up! Wake up! Ron! Neville!"

The two of them were shaken awake in a daze, then looked at Harry with blank expressions.

"Where is this? Harry! Let's keep the party going!"

Ron picked up an empty goblet from the side and raised it towards Harry, then passed out again.

Harry helplessly covered his face with his hand, only able to pin his hopes on Neville, who was still somewhat sober.

"Neville, do you still remember what happened yesterday?"

"Yesterday? I only remember we kept drinking, and then... and then..."

"And then what?"

Neville seemed to have thought of something, and then said tremblingly.

"I seem to remember that under their instigation, I sword-danced in front of the whole school... Oh god! I don't even dare to think about it! This is so embarrassing!"

Neville immediately covered his face with both hands and started writhing on the ground.

Although he didn't have the memory of Neville sword-dancing, and he was quite curious, the top priority was still to recall his own memories.

Then Harry walked out of the dormitory and headed towards the room of the Weasley Twins.

If he wanted to know what interesting things happened at Hogwarts, finding the Weasley Twins was the right choice.

And when Harry walked into the twins' room, his brow instantly furrowed.

He saw that the whole room was a mess, with clothes and socks everywhere. And that wasn't even the most important thing!

The key was that the two of them were naked, wearing only underwear, and sleeping together while hugging each other tightly.

Harry only felt that his eyes had been attacked.

However, in order to find out what actually happened yesterday, Harry forced back his discomfort and walked around the messy clothes to come to the side of the two.

"Wake up!"

Harry shouted loudly, but seeing that the two had no intention of waking up at all, Harry's eyes rolled as an idea struck him.

"Hode is going to blow up the school!"

"What! How could we miss such an important thing! Let's go quickly, George!"

"You're completely right! Hurry, hurry, hurry! Harry, tell us where Hode is?"

Harry looked at the two speechlessly, already praying in his heart that future children of his and Ginny's wouldn't end up like the Weasley Twins, otherwise his head would blow up.

"I was tricking you, I just wanted to ask if you remember what happened last night?"

Hearing that Harry had tricked them, both of them showed disappointed expressions.

So Hode wasn't going to blow up the school!

Disappointed.jpg

Hogwarts: What on earth are you disappointed about! Bastards!

The Weasley Twins sighed, then looked at each other.

"Fred, do you still remember what happened last night?"

"I only remember we seemed to have thrown a Dungbomb at Karkaroff again, and then there was Neville sword-dancing... Oh! That's right! I also remember you confessed to Ginny!"

Fred punched Harry on the arm and laughed loudly.

"Not bad, Harry! I said the two of you were bound to be a pair! Now Harry Potter is our brother-in-law!"

George also burst into laughter, and then the two grabbed Harry and began to interrogate him.

"Harry, tell the truth, how did you take a fancy to my sister?"

"That's right, Ginny is a bit violent! Don't come looking for us if you get domestic violence later, oh!"

Harry couldn't bear the teasing from the two and broke free.

"You guys had better sleep well, I have something to do and I'm leaving first."

Finished speaking, Harry immediately bolted out the door.

Returning to the dormitory, Ron was still fast asleep, while Neville was looking at his phone with a nervous expression.

"What's wrong? Neville, why so nervous?"

Harry was somewhat curious.

"Harry... you'll know once you open your phone and take a look."

Listening to Neville's words, Harry walked to his bed and picked up the phone that was vibrating frantically.

Then he found himself pulled into a group chat called Hogwarts.

There were hundreds of people inside, all of them Hogwarts students and Professors.

It was chatting away lively inside, with messages appearing so fast that people were scrolled past before they could even finish reading a single sentence.

Then Harry looked at the group owner——

Sure enough, the group owner was Hode!

And Dumbledore was still the co-owner of the group.

Then Harry began to watch the content of the chat group, inside which there were many videos taken by others.

There was Neville sword-dancing in the Great Hall, his confession to Ginny, the Weasley Twins throwing Dungbombs at Karkaroff, and the three of them—himself, his dad, and his godfather—ambushing Snape!

With trembling fingers, Harry didn't know which video to open.

At this moment, Hode suddenly sent a video, and then didn't say anything.

Harry curiously opened it to look:

9:00 PM

In the Great Hall, the four student tables had been moved away, and everyone started dancing, drinking, and celebrating.

Harry saw himself being wildly plied with alcohol by the Weasley Twins and his godfather, while James laughed aside.

9:10 PM

Harry, James, and Sirius spotted Snape crying and hugging Lily.

The three of them immediately dropped their wine glasses, then James took the lead and kicked Snape away.

Then Sirius sat on top of Snape, who had fallen to the ground, and began beating Snape's face, while Harry and James also frantically stomped and added blows with their feet.

The scene instantly descended into chaos, and finally the few were pulled apart by others, and Snape was carried into the Hospital Wing.

Then, under the instigation of those around him, Nevilletook the Sword of Gryffindor and started dancing with it, but because he had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, Neville's dance was all crooked and twisted, drawing laughter from everyone.

9:30 PM

Under the brainwashing of James and Sirius, Harrymustered up the courage to pull Ginny to the very center of the Great Hall.

Then he confessed to Ginny in front of everyone, and Ginnyactually agreed!

The crowd erupted into warm cheers!

Harry then held Ginny's hand and walked over to show off in front of his parents, and also walked up to Mrs. Molly to say that he would take good care of Ginny and so on.

Seeing this, Harry already had the urge to die.

Chapter 137: The Bizarre Turn of Events

Fortunately, Mrs. Weasley didn't say anything, merely teasing Harry that The Savior had become her son-in-law.

Then everyone began crowding around Harry and Ginny, frantically pushing drinks on them.

Anyone unaware would have thought the two of them were getting married on the spot.

10:00

The Weasley Twins noticed Karkaroff preparing to leave, and then secretly followed behind him.

Until Karkaroff left the castle, the two of them dumped a bunch of Dungbombs all at once, then immediately fled back to the Great Hall, leaving behind a wildly swearing Karkaroff.

10:40

Ron and Draco, who were already completely out of their minds from drinking, kissed each other right in full view of everyone. While kissing, Draco kept shouting Astoria's name, leaving everyone completely dumbfounded.

Astoria, standing to the side, covered her face in embarrassment, while the Weasley Twins went wild with jeers and cheers.

In the end, it was Astoria's sister Daphne who gave Ronand Draco each a punch, coaxing them to sleep.

11:30

James and the others left drunkenly, leaving only the students attending Hogwarts still partying.

12:00

Quite a few students had already passed out on the ground. A drunk Harry and Neville took the lead, singing the Hogwarts school song together with the students who hadn't passed out yet.

Listening to the singing coming from the phone, Harry's face instantly scrunched up.

He could guarantee that the singing of the Merpeople from the Golden Egg earlier wasn't half as terrible as their singing!

The sound made by Merpeople singing on land was at most ear-piercing, but what these guys were singing was outright life-threatening!

12:30

Harry had also drunk himself to sleep. The Weasley Twinswere still making a huge fuss, until Professor McGonagallcouldn't stand it anymore, treating the two of them as coolies and using the Levitation Charm along with various Professors to send the passed-out students back to their dormitories.

Just when Harry thought everything was over.

2:50

The Weasley Twins started acting up again, waking up Harry and the others who had passed out, and then starting a new round of partying.

In the Common Room, the girls were all chatting, screaming, and dancing.

Meanwhile, the guys were desperately forcing drinks on others, boasting, and performing talents.

Among them, Neville's consecutive backflips drew cheers from everyone. Then Ron, refusing to lose, also put on a thunderously awkward dance, making everyone burst into laughter.

In the end, Harry couldn't hold on again and fell back asleep. Then the Weasley Twins took out their phones, and one after another kissed the scar on Harry's forehead and took pictures.

When the others saw this, they followed suit. This directly resulted in the area around Harry's forehead scar being dyed red by many girls' lipstick.

Seeing this scene, Harry felt as though his lungs were about to explode with anger.

Furthermore, Harry reached out and touched the scar on his forehead again, then looked at his hand...

Mhm, red.

Harry furiously rubbed his forehead hard with his clothes, and then continued looking at the phone.

4:00

Scarcely a few people could still hold on. Seeing this, the Weasley Twins sent all the boys back to their dormitories. Meanwhile, a few girls who hadn't drunk much similarly sent the sleeping girls back.

After the Weasley Twins sent Harry and the others back, they finally stopped acting up and peacefully fell asleep.

Video ended.

Harry and Neville exchanged glances, both remaining silent.

Too awkward.

Harry didn't know how to face Ginny, and Neville felt awkward because of his uproarious performance.

Then the two of them looked at Ron, who was still sleeping, recalling the scene of Ron and Draco kissing.

"Pfft!" × 2

"Hahaha! Neville, we have to screenshot this! I'll hold this over Ron and Draco for the rest of my life!"

Neville: "That's right! I bet Fred and George will make photos of it and hang them up in their house once they see it!"

Harry nodded in agreement. Thinking about it this way, he felt he wasn't that miserable after all. At least he didn't kiss a guy.

"Hoo—"

Harry took a deep breath, and his originally flustered heart began to calm down.

Since he had already confessed, he had to take responsibility to the end!

Harry hurriedly washed up, then took out a clean set of clothes from his suitcase and put them on.

Then he took out the high-end perfume his godfather bought him and sprayed it on.

Finally, Harry combed his hair. Looking at himself in the mirror, Harry still wasn't at ease, so he cast 'Scourgify' on himself a few more times.

"Neville, do you think Ginny is up yet?"

Harry asked Neville while striking a pose.

"She should be up... Ginny doesn't seem to have drunk much."

Harry nodded in agreement, then waved to Neville and walked toward the Common Room.

"Ginny!"

As soon as Harry walked out, he saw Ginny sitting on the sofa, surrounded by a few of her roommates. They were chatting quietly with Ginny and giggling at her.

Harry mustered up his courage and shouted, and then Ginny and the others looked over at Harry.

Then Ginny's roommates laughed even louder, one after another nudging Ginny's arm.

Ginny stood up with a blushing face and walked up to Harry.

The two of them said in unison.

"Ginny, I have something to say to you!"

"Harry, I have something to say to you!"

"You speak first! No! I'll speak first!" × 2

Ginny's roommate: "Awoo~"

"Come with me!"

Harry immediately grabbed Ginny's hand and ran outside the castle. The students along the way all looked at the two of them with smiles.

The two of them didn't stop until they reached the bridge.

"Ginny! I love you!"

"Harry! I love you!"

As soon as they stopped, the two of them said in unison once more.

Then both of them froze, and finally Harry continued.

"Ginny, last night I confessed to you after getting drunk, that doesn't count! I want to say it when I'm sober! Ginny! I like you! Would you be my girlfriend?"

Hearing Harry's words, Ginny shed tears of happiness, then fiercely lunged forward and hugged Harry tightly.

"I'm willing!"

Then the two of them slowly moved their lips closer—

——————

On the other side, the Weasley Twins, who had been woken up by Harry, also finished watching the video Hodesent in the group chat, and then exchanged a glance and smiled.

Ron: Danger!

Fred and George were the type of people who acted as soon as they decided to. The two of them quickly used simple Alchemy to turn the image of Ron and Dracokissing into photographs.

And they made dozens of them all at once!

Fred looked at the two of their masterpiece with satisfaction and said with a smile.

"How much are we going to sell these photos for?"

"Sell? Fred, this is a photo of our Ronnie kissing his true love! Of course we're going to distribute them for free, so everyone can congratulate the two of them!"

Hearing George's words, Fred suddenly came to his senses, and then said with remorse.

"You're completely right! George! We have to make more, so every single teacher and student in the school gets a copy! It'd be best to save a few for Mom and the others!"

"That's right! Then let's get started!"

Ron, Draco: Listen to me, thank you, because of you, the four seasons are warmed.

Chapter 138 Both are possible, that is the answer!

Afternoon arrived.

Harry and Ginny were cozying up to each other for several hours.

From the bridge outside the castle to the Great Hall, and then from the Great Hall to the Gryffindor Common Room.

The two of them were completely intoxicated by the pleasure brought by love, completely ignoring everyone around them, just kissing back and forth like that.

This made Dumbledore keep sighing that youth is great.

Professor McGonagall by the side heard this and speechlessly rolled her eyes.

McGonagall: "Aren't you tired of saying that every day?"

And Ron also woke up, then saw Neville on the side looking at him while holding back a laugh.

"Neville, what are you laughing at?"

Ron quickly touched his face, thinking there was something on his face.

"Noth... nothing, just thought of something happy!"

Ron tilted his head and asked curiously, "What happy thing?"

"The pig I raised at home is pregnant."

"Is this matter so worth being happy about?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Watching Neville frantically nod while holding back his laughter, Ron always felt that Neville was tricking him.

At this moment, he found his mobile phone vibrating wildly, and Ron curiously opened it.

"Um... Ron, I still have something to do, I'll leave first!"

Neville immediately ran out of the dormitory without looking back, which made Ron even more convinced that Neville had a problem.

But the vibration coming from the phone made him even more curious, and then he clicked to browse...

"Draco Malfoy!!!!!"

After a while, Ron's roar resounded throughout the entire Gryffindor Common Room.

Then Ron angrily opened the dormitory door, and happened to run into the Weasley Twins.

Then Ron saw the two of them holding a large pile of photos in their hands, and he looked closely—that was precisely the scene of him and Draco kissing!

"Fred! George! How dare you!!!"

"Not good! Run, George!"

The Weasley Twins were caught on the spot, and then immediately ran with all their might.

Then the Gryffindor students looked at this kind of scene.

The Weasley Twins ran wildly in front, throwing the photos in their hands to everyone they saw while running. Behind them closely followed a ferocious-looking Ron, who was also running while shouting angrily:

"Stinky Fred, stinky George, don't run!"

Then everyone looked at the photos in their hands, instantly understanding why Ron was so angry.

And Harry and Ginny, who were cozying up in the Common Room, also got the photos thrown by the Weasley Twins.

"Pfft! Hahaha! Ron, you're going to be famous!"

Harry burst into laughter, attracting Ron's attention.

"Harry! Come and help me stop those two!" Ron shouted loudly, but his running speed did not decrease at all.

"Sorry, Ron. They are my brothers-in-law after all! How can I deal with them?"

The Weasley Twins ran while praising Harry: "Well said! Harry! We agree to your wedding!"

Ron said angrily: "Then I am also your brother-in-law!"

"Sorry, Ron. 2 > 1."

The Weasley Twins rushed out of the Common Roomlaughing, then looked at each other, understanding each other's meaning, and immediately ran away in separate directions.

Ron also rushed out, and just as he was thinking about who to chase, suddenly a voice sounded.

"Ron Weasley!!!"

Ron turned his head to look, and found Draco walking towards him angrily.

"Draco Malfoy! Give me back my reputation!"

"Ron Weasley! Give me back my reputation!"

The two said in unison.

The surrounding students looked at how tacit the two were, and immediately let out inexplicable laughter.

The two also noticed the problem and said simultaneously again.

"You are not allowed to copy me speaking!" × 2

"Shut up!" × 2

The surrounding sounds became even louder...

Ron couldn't take it anymore, and immediately pointed his index finger outside towards Draco and said: "Outside the castle! One-on-one! Whoever loses goes to explain to them one by one!"

"Come on!"

The two immediately walked towards the outside of the castle.

And what happened between them was immediately posted into the chat group by surrounding students, causing a large wave of students to become interested and rush to the battlefield one after another.

Even Harry and Ginny, who were cozying up, curiously headed to the destination.

Soon, Ron and Draco stopped at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

The people behind also stopped at a distance of twenty meters from the two. Wizard duels must be given respect, and they definitely could not step forward to disturb.

"Have you prepared your last words? Weasley, I allow you to say them now, otherwise you won't have the chance later."

Draco laughed arrogantly.

While Ron just shook his head disdainfully, and then pointed his finger at Draco.

"In case you got it wrong, I'll kindly remind you, you ———— are the challenger!"

Harry, who had just arrived holding Ginny's hand, watched speechlessly at the two's Hode-style language.

Draco was amused with anger by Ron, and also pointed his finger at Ron.

"Foolish Weasley! I'm going to peel your scales clean!"

Raise Wands —

Salute —

Duel — — Start!

"Diffindo!"

"Confringo!"

The two did not hold back at all, after all they knew Hodewas backing them up, so it was impossible for anyone to die.

And the two immediately passionately shot spells at each other.

Severing Charm, Blasting Curse, Fire-Making Spell, even Fiendfyre were cast out by the two.

Dumbledore stood by the window of the Headmaster's Office, watching this scene with a gratified face.

"This is youth!"

Other Professors also learned about the duel between the two, but most of them didn't care.

But Flitwick, who had won the dueling championship, was very happy, and also came to the place where the two were dueling, using his stature to weave through the crowd, successfully squeezing to the very front.

Coming next were also McGonagall and Snape.

After all, it was Weasley and Malfoy, the classic duel between Gryffindor and Slytherin.

The two naturally had to be present.

And Harry noticed Snape in the distance, and immediately hid behind Ginny.

He couldn't not hide; yesterday what he, James, and Siriussaid about not using lethal force was true, but they didn't hold back much of their strength either.

This resulted in when he was carried to the Hospital Wingby Slytherin students, Snape's face was already bruised and battered, completely unrecognizable from his original appearance.

Fortunately, Snape did not notice Harry.

And Ron and Draco were still passionately beating each other up, and the two had already entered the critical stage.

"Expecto Patronum!" × 2

The two Patroni collided with each other, and Ron seized the opportunity to charge up.

Ron: "Avis!"

"Protego Totalum!"

Draco laughed disdainfully: "You don't think I didn't notice, do you! Weasley!"

The Patroni of the two had also perished together, and Ronfelt the little Magic left in his body, then looked at Draco.

"Dare you settle the victory in one move?"

"Bring it on!"

Draco didn't have much Magic left at this moment either, and immediately agreed.

The two took a deep breath, and then pointed their Wands at each other.

"Is this the final strike? Will Ron win?"

Ginny tightly hugged Harry's arm, hoping that her brother would win.

Harry thought for a moment, and then said.

"Both are possible, that ———— is the answer!"

Chapter 139 For the Glory of Weasley / Malfoy!

"For the glory of Weasley!"

"For the glory of Malfoy!"

Ron and Draco both unleashed their most powerful ultimate moves!

The Wands of the two began to spew red and green light waves, and the impact generated by the collision of the two instantly knocked over most of the audience, with only a few people barely steadying themselves.

And Harry was one of them.

Harry hugged Ginny with one hand, and took out his Wandwith the other to use a protective charm to shield the people behind him from the impact.

McGonagall and Flitwick did the same, only Snape did nothing and showed no concern for the students falling at his feet.

Ron and Draco, who were beam-clashing, saw the opponent use the exact same move with a template name, and both realized something.

Going back to a certain day before——

Hode suddenly pulled himself (Ron / Draco) aside and asked in a low voice.

"Ron / Draco, do you want to learn a super awesome and classy piece of magic? I'll only teach you, oh~"

Ron / Draco: "Really?! Of course I want to learn! Once I learn it, I will definitely make that arrogant Weasley / Malfoy pay!"

Then Hode taught the two how to set up a binding respectively.

First: Inject almost all of one's Magic into the Wand in exchange for an increase in the power of this move.

Next: Through a loan, allow oneself to only use one-tenth of one's Magic for the next week, in exchange for another boost in the power of this move.

Finally: By being unable to use this move again within a month, boost the power once more!

Ron / Draco excitedly asked Hode the name of this move.

Hode said with a wicked smile.

"It is called——For the glory of Weasley / Draco!"

————

Returning to the present, the two realized they had been tricked by Hode. Especially after seeing the opponent also use the same ultimate move, the two didn't know how to describe this feeling.

Colliding moves is not scary, whoever loses is embarrassed!

The two exerted all their strength, neither daring to slack off. The two light waves suppressed each other back and forth, making it completely impossible to tell who had the advantage.

Before long, both could feel that their Magic had bottomed out, but neither was willing to admit defeat and could only shout again.

"For the glory of Weasley!"

"For the glory of Malfoy!"

The two shouted for themselves.

As their voices fell, the two light waves instantly exploded.

Another powerful impact knocked the standing audience back to the ground.

The dazzling light made it impossible for everyone to look directly at the two, and everyone stopped breathing, waiting for the final result of the match.

As the light dissipated, everyone saw Ron and Dracopassed out on the ground.

"A... That is to say..."

Ginny swallowed hard, looking at the two in disbelief.

"That's right!"

Harry smiled and nodded beside Ginny, happy for his two friends' strength.

"It's a tie!"

"Oh!!!!!!"

Instantly, everyone burst into enthusiastic cheers.

"So awesome! Ron! You didn't disgrace our Gryffindor!"

"Well done! Draco! As expected of our Slytherin!"

Students of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw: "As expected of our great Hogwarts!"

Gryffindor · Slytherin: You guys are really trying to muscle in.

Hufflepuff · Ravenclaw: Just tell us whether what we said is right or not! Proud face.jpg

Even though they knew Ron and Draco couldn't hear their cheers, the audience still tirelessly shouted for the two.

"Alright! Mr. Weasley and Mr. Malfoy need to rest now! Everyone disperse!"

Professor McGonagall clapped her hands, had everyone make way for her, and then used the Levitation Charm to take the two unconscious people towards the Hospital Wing.

"Ron won't be hurt, right..."

Ginny asked worriedly, while Harry gently hugged Ginnyand comforted her softly.

"Rest assured, they just ran out of Magic and are exhausted. Madam Pomfrey has great medical skills, and once they drink the Potion and wake up, they'll basically be fine."

Ginny breathed a sigh of relief.

"I told you there's definitely something going on between them!"

"Well said! Fred! I hope Mom and Dad can accept Ron and Draco falling in love! But who do you think will marry whom when the time comes?"

Fred: "I think Draco should be the one to marry our Little Ronnie! After all, Malfoy only has him as an only son, and Lucius definitely wouldn't want Draco to marry into the family!"

The voices of the twins rang out in the crowd, and then they shouted loudly.

"Free photos of Ron and Draco kissing! Come and get them if you don't have one!"

The twins shouted while distributing the prepared photos to the people nearby.

The unconscious Ron: Damn! I forgot about this matter!

Ginny looked at her two brothers with utter disgust, and then immediately pulled Harry away.

————

"Hahaha! These twins are so talented!"

"I must say, you really have a wicked sense of humor." Hermione looked affectionately at Hode, who was laughing loudly beside her.

The two were lying on the bed, using the small projection magic Hode cast to watch today's events over again, and Hode even teleported and snatched two photos made by the twins.

"Hermione, what do you think would happen if I gave this photo to Draco and Astoria when they get married?"

Hermione covered her mouth and smiled, saying: "Then Draco and Ron would probably have to fight again."

"You are spot on!"

Hode laughed while doing a carp kip to stand up.

"Alright, Voldemort is completely dead, and the wizarding world welcomes peace. Next, I need to make some preparations!"

Hermione looked at Hode curiously, "Prepare for what?"

Facing Hermione's inquiry, the corners of Hode's mouth turned up slightly.

"The decisive battle with Dumbledore! Strongest VS Strongest!"

"What??? You're going to fight Professor Dumbledore?! Why?"

Hermione looked at Hode in shock, unable to understand.

Clearly Hode and Dumbledore were closer than family even though they weren't! Why on earth would the two suddenly fight a match?

"Do you remember the question Dumbledore asked me?"

Hearing Hode's question, Hermione, with her powerful memory, immediately said: "Is it when Professor Dumbledore asked you what your dream was?"

Hode nods.

"I remember you saying you wanted to become the strongest and then..."

At this, Hermione's eyes widened instantly.

"You want to defeat Professor Dumbledore to become the strongest?!"

"Pretty much."

"Why?" Hermione said uncomprehendingly.

"Even if you don't challenge Professor Dumbledore, no one would think you are weaker than Professor Dumbledore! And if either of you gets hurt..."

Hermione looked at Hode with worry. Although she had always supported any choice Hode made, she would still worry about accidents happening.

Smart people tend to imagine various possibilities beforehand and think through the changes each step might bring.

Hode smiled, rubbed Hermione's head, and explained.

"I initiated a challenge against Old Dumbledore not to get the title of the strongest, but to make him step down from the throne."

Hode smiled and said: "Dumbledore is the backing of all Wizards, and everyone's expectations are pinned on him! When encountering terrible enemies and disasters, everyone turns to Dumbledore for help! This is the cursebrought by being the'strongest'!

Old Dumbledore has shouldered these responsibilities for long enough! He is tired enough!

Therefore! From now on! These responsibilities and the curse of the'strongest'—I will bear them!"

Chapter 140: True Gryffindor

"Hode..."

Hermione looked at Hode blankly, not speaking for a long time.

Hode gently kissed Hermione's forehead, wearing a confident smile.

"Rest assured! I am very strong! Stronger than anyone else! There is nothing I cannot solve!"

Hermione looked at the composed Hode, couldn't help smiling slightly, and then straightened Hode's collar.

"You really have changed!"

Hode tilted his head, "How have I changed?"

"You used to seem to care nothing about everyone... Not in the way of ignoring them, but... as if you treated them like NPCs, as if they were fake, and you didn't regard them as—"

"People of the same kind, right?"

Seeing that Hermione didn't know how to express it, Hodesaid it for her.

"Yes!"

Hermione nodded, then hugged Hode's arm tightly with both hands.

"Although I didn't feel it, Harry and the others mentioned it to me before, and they also said that you seemed to be changing slowly."

Looking at Hermione leaning in his arms, Hode gently stroked Hermione's head.

"I used to... toward you, Old Gellert, Old Dumbledore, and so on, I really only cared about you guys back then. I really treated this world like a game before, but because of you—Hermione! It was you who changed me!"

Hermione raised her head from Hode's chest and saw Hode's eyes full of love.

"I love you, Hermione!"

"I love you too!"

The lips of the two slowly moved closer.

————

Because of the Triwizard Tournament and Voldemort's business, Dumbledore very generously granted a general amnesty!

Except for the Fifth Year and Seventh Year exams, the exams for students of all other years were completely cancelled!

As soon as this imperial decree came out, except for the fifth and Seventh Years, all the students shouted loudly: "Dumbledore is wise!"

During this period, Moody also threw Barty Jr., who was controlled by Hode, into Azkaban, and the bodies of the Death Eaters from the final battle were all burned, including Peter Pettigrew.

Ron and Draco also woke up from the Hospital Wing.

As soon as the two opened their eyes, they saw each other lying on the next hospital bed, and the two started making a fuss again.

They were finally driven out by Madam Pomfrey, and the two made a fuss all the way to Harry, asking Harry who actually won the match back then.

When they heard Harry say it was a tie, the two intended to have another match, but it fizzled out in the end.

Then they remembered the matter of the Weasley Twinsdistributing their indecent photos.

When Harry saw the Weasley Twins again, both of them were bruised and battered.

Beauxbatons and Durmstrang also left early.

After all, having been completely crushed by Hogwarts, they didn't want to stay here anymore.

Time came to the end-of-term feast.

All the students were chattering in the Great Hall, talking about the recent events.

The Triwizard Tournament, Voldemort's Death, and the sensational matter between Ron and Draco from a few days ago.

When everyone arrived at the Great Hall, Dumbledoretapped his cup.

"Students! How time flies! Another year is coming to an end! This year—we have encountered many things... I believe everyone will surely remember what happened this year! So now————I think I want to add 'a little bit' of House points to a few students for what they have done!"

Dumbledore extended his right hand, with his index finger and thumb facing each other, making a small gesture.

But Snape on the side knew that this Old Bee's 'a little bit' was definitely not really 'a little bit'.

Dumbledore looked towards the Gryffindor long table, and then smiled with gratification.

"I think I must add one hundred points each for the wonderful matches of our Hogwarts two champions!!!"

"OHHHHHHHHH!"

"Professor Dumbledore! We adore you!"

Gryffindor burst into enthusiastic cheers, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw also applauded one after another, and only Slytherin reluctantly clapped twice before stopping.

As Dumbledore's voice fell, Gryffindor's hourglass instantly gained a pile of rubies, far exceeding the other three Houses in quantity.

Dumbledore continued: "And I also want to add—another 50 points for Hode winning the Triwizard Cup for Hogwarts!"

Everyone applauded Hode again.

"Then, as everyone knows, regarding the matter of Voldemort. Thanks to Hode's plan and Harry's bravery! As well as the help of students like Hermione, Ron, Neville, and Draco, we were able to completely eliminate Voldemort!"

Everyone looked at Dumbledore, waiting for his speech.

"Therefore! I want to add—100 points to each of them!"

"Oh!!!"

"Way ahead! Way ahead!"

"What we want is absolute suppression!"

"Our great Gryffindor just has to have more points!"

After Dumbledore's point addition, Gryffindor's House points were already more than the other three Houses combined.

Truly—Gryffindor!

Then, Dumbledore took out the Elder Wand and waved it, and the decoration style of the entire Great Hall instantly turned into the red and gold color scheme symbolized by Gryffindor.

Until the students' cheers slowly diminished, Dumbledorespoke up.

"So now, let us begin to enjoy the last meal of this school year!"

Dumbledore opened his arms, and immediately various delicacies appeared on the long tables of the four Houses.

"Harry, Hode, Hermione, Neville. What are your plans for the summer vacation?"

Ron grabbed two chicken legs with both hands, gnawing on them while asking Hode and the others.

"Summer vacation?... My parents and godfather will probably take me out to travel. You know, they started fighting against Voldemort right after graduation, until Death and being wrongfully thrown into Azkaban. So they plan to take advantage of their youth and bring me along to travel all over the world."

Ron looked at Harry with envy, couldn't help lamenting that Harry's life now was really good.

And Neville also indicated that his parents might take him out to travel too.

Then several people looked at Hode and Hermione.

"Same here, traveling while preparing."

"Preparing for what?" Harry asked curiously.

"Around the second half of this summer vacation, you will know."

Harry, Ron, and Neville looked at each other, not understanding what Hode was going to prepare.

But they knew that things even Hode had to prepare for would definitely not be trivial matters! It might even make Wizards around the world drop their jaws in shock!

"Right! Who do you think the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor for next term will be?"

Ron initiated the discussion topic again.

Neville thought for a moment, "It shouldn't be some eccentric Professor anymore, right? After all, Voldemort is already dead, and the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class should have disappeared as well."

Now Hogwarts students basically all knew that Moodyhad been ambushed by Barty Jr. once, who turned into Moody's appearance to give them classes for a few days. In the end, Hode and Dumbledore controlled Barty Jr. and rescued the real Moody.
