Roy finished packing his luggage, preparing to leave with Hermione, Cassandra, Daphne, Cho Chang, Luna, and Astoria. As he moved through the castle, he noticed a flurry of activity near the Principal's Office.
A stream of owls carrying letters and howlers flew in, landing on the desk in front of Dumbledore. Roy immediately recognized the contents: letters from parents of Hogwarts students, some concerned, some angry, and many demanding answers.
He noticed another disturbing trend: many students were ignoring Harry, refusing to believe his warnings about Voldemort's return. Murmurs filled the corridors, and whispers reached Roy as students approached him:
"Roy… is what Harry is saying really true?"
Roy considered the question carefully. Calmly, he replied:
"I haven't seen anything myself. I don't know."
To his surprise, the students accepted his words. His neutrality, combined with the authority he carried as a Valvas, gave them reason to believe him. While Hogwarts wrestled with doubt and fear, Roy remained composed, ready to ensure the safety of his friends and allies as the dark clouds of Voldemort's return loomed.
Roy and the girls Hermione, Cassandra, Daphne, Astoria, and Cho Chang arrived at the train compartment, the air buzzing with conversation about the future and their plans. Laughter and light teasing filled the space, but Roy remained attentive, his mind partially on their safety.
From his system storage, Roy produced various defensive alchemy items, each designed to protect against magical attacks and unexpected dangers. Carefully, he handed one to each girl, explaining:
"Keep these with you at all times. They're not just trinkets—they're for your protection. If anything happens, they can save you."
The girls exchanged glances, understanding both the seriousness and the thoughtfulness behind the gesture. They nodded in agreement, silently acknowledging the weight of Roy's vigilance and the care he had for them.
Soon, the train reached the station in England. Roy stepped off and personally greeted the parents of Hermione, Daphne, Cassandra, Astoria, and Cho Chang, exchanging polite words and reassuring them of their children's well-being.
With farewells complete, Roy prepared to leave for France, confident that the girls were safe and protected under his watchful eye, while he set off for the next chapter of his journey.
