Hogwarts: Harry Returns from the Witcher.

Chapter 444 Reaction
Hogwarts.

When Harry and the others returned to school, what they saw was the Black Lake, which was covered in frost and had not yet thawed.

The mermaids cursed.

Take a fork, or use magic, and break as much ice as you can.

The big squid was also helping, and with a flick of its thick tentacles, it smashed a large piece of ice.

When they saw Harry, they squealed.

Harry responded to them with the same high-pitched cry, the merfolk sighed, and a few continued to scream.

With a wave of his wand, Harry conjured up a bunch of ice-breaking props for them.

"Oh, that's it?" Ciri poked her head out, staring at the group of weird little creatures.

"Mermaid." Harry briefly introduced, "A subhuman magical animal that is friendly to people."

"I just wanted me to help them break the ice."

He paused for a moment: "Seeing that I beat them up once, but I didn't have time, so I got them some tools."

Ciri looked at the mermaid who was working harder to break the ice with the tools at hand: "Your life here is wonderful."

"Hogwarts is the same as Kaer Morhen." Harry said softly.

They went into the castle.

Ciri exclaimed again. Hogwarts doesn't look that big from the outside, but when you step in from the door, the internal structure is much grander than Kaer Morhen. Most importantly, it doesn't have the gloom that normal castles would have. Temperament, even in the middle of the night, those dotted lights give the castle a warm atmosphere.

"Who is it?" Harry and the others didn't hide their behavior, the sound of footsteps drew a sharp meow, and a somewhat hoarse shout.

An old man came out of the darkness with an oil lamp.

The footsteps are as silent as a cat.

Ciri took half a step back.

The warmth I felt just now was immediately replaced by a sense of horror.

The appearance of this person perfectly fits her initial imagination of a thousand-year-old castle.

"It's me, Filch," Harry answered him.

Mrs. Norris rushed out, came to Harry's feet, and rubbed him affectionately.

Ciri was surprised: "Harry! There is a cat greeting you."

It's amazing how a witcher would be liked by cats.

With a wave of his wand, Harry took out a few owl rations from the Sorting Hat, and dropped them lightly in front of Norris.

Seeing his cat's reaction, Filch was a little relieved, and approached quietly: "Mr. Potter, you are back."

"Hogwarts was attacked today, and Professor Dumbledore failed to catch the culprit."

"and"

When he said this, he hesitated, and continued cautiously: "Your classmate, Mr. Longbottom of Gryffindor, was seriously injured and is still in a coma in the school infirmary."

Harry nodded, "I see."

"Is Professor Dumbledore in his office?"

Filch responded, "He's back this afternoon."

return?

Harry raised an eyebrow.

Did Dumbledore go out after the attack?
He waved his wand and called for the protection of the gods, a silver light flew out and turned into a huge griffin after landing. Harry sent it to inform Geralt and Yennefer.

Then he took Hermione and Ciri to the principal's office.

Say the password, open the door and walk in.

Dumbledore was not alone in the room, there was Snape, who sat on a chair with a tired expression.

"Harry." Dumbledore raised his hand and greeted him. When he saw the white-haired girl next to Hermione, he paused: "This is Ms. Ciri?"

Harry nodded, "What happened to Professor Snape?"

"The bezoar in your head has exploded so much that the Potions master is helpless."

Facing Harry's ridicule, Snape just looked up, sneered, and didn't speak.

"Something happened today." Dumbledore beckoned, conjured up a few chairs, waved at them, motioning them to sit down, "Severus is very hard."

"Would you like something to drink?"

"What does Ms. Ciri want?"

Shirley replied, "Black tea is fine."

Dumbledore waved his wand, poured tea for them, and spoke softly, slowly telling what happened today.

Including Gringotts' Goblin Rebellion.

The Ministry of Magic's information transmission was wrong, and the number of goblins was more than 100, which was three times what they reported.

Dumbledore went over, and it took a lot of effort to repel the goblins.

Severus, who appeared as a Death Eater, was entangled by a group of Aurors. He couldn't reveal his identity, couldn't use potions, and couldn't use the spells he was good at. He was almost dragged to Dumbledore by the Aurors. When Lido makes a move.

most critical.
After Voldemort was resurrected, he never contacted the Dark Lord again, and even the Dark Mark on his body did not respond.

Where did he go?

doing what?
Dumbledore couldn't find a trace, and neither could Snape.

After hearing this, Harry rubbed his head: "It's about the same as I guessed, Albus, I heard it from Illeris' memory"

He wasn't finished yet.

There was a bang—the door was pushed open heavily.

Ye Naifa, who was wearing a nightgown behind her back, rushed in, her eyes turned quickly, and almost instantly, the arrow hit the target and caught Shirley. In her eyes, only the little girl with white hair was left.

"Shirley!" she exclaimed in surprise.

Ciri stood up, her eyes shining brightly: "Yennefer!"

Yennefer rushed over to hug her.

"My beautiful stinky girl." Ye Naifa looked at her, "Now you have become a great beauty."

Geralt followed behind him, not saying a word, smiling slightly.

"Geralt!" Seeing him, Ciri cheered and called his name, let go of Yennefer, and hugged Geralt.

Snape turned his head away and looked quietly at Fox in the corner who was sleeping with two cans of cockroaches in his arms.

Dumbledore took off his glasses, took out his handkerchief, and nodded his eyes: "What a touching family reunion."

Harry conjured up two more chairs: "Geralt, Yennefer, I'm sorry to disturb your good business."

Ye Naifa didn't seem to notice what she was wearing, she just grabbed one and came out. The nightgown was worn backwards.

Geralt was better, and his pajamas were still neat.But he didn't wear shoes, so he ran barefoot.

"Nothing is more important than Ciri." Yennefer shook his head, "Harry, you did a great job, you are now a much better witcher than Geralt."

Geralt shook his head, releasing Ciri.

Become a stepping stone.

But he didn't care about these, Ciri's safe return was more important than anything else.

Harry waved: "I'll talk about the old days later, Ciri and I met Ilerith in another world."

"From his memory, Eredin abandoned the commander of the Wild Hunt, making him a chess piece that can ensure that I will stay in that world."

"Caranthir, Ilerith."

"They paid such a high price just to make it clear that I will stay in that world for a day."

"for today"

He raised his wrist and glanced at the time: "Oh, it's for yesterday."

"Pay such a high price just to help the Dark Lord come back to life?" Snape sneered, "That Eredin really loves the Dark Lord deeply."

Dumbledore shook his head: "Tom has always been very good at demagoguery."

"The Ain El elves used to be the same race as another elf named Iron Sid." Ciri explained, "They are powerful and elegant, and once an entire race could travel between worlds, but One day, they were targeted by Baishuang, and the original world was destroyed by Baishuang."

"They fled from world to world, but Hoarfrost always chased them from world to world."

"A golden boy, a commander"

"In the long years of fleeing, the Aen El elves have lost many such characters under the hoarfrost."

"Compared to Bai Shuang, the two of them are nothing."

As long as it is not a bargaining chip that will lead to the demise of the Elf Elf, Eredin can accept anything, as long as Hoarfrost can be controlled.

Snape didn't speak.

Dumbledore didn't comment either.

None of them had experienced that kind of genocide, and it was difficult to empathize with Ciri's simple description.

"Professor Snape, can I contact Voldemort?" Harry turned his head to look at the more tired man.

Snape shook his head, "Don't ask such stupid questions, Potter."

"I can't get in touch, and no magic can get in touch with him."

He paused, looked at Ciri, and said meaningfully, "It's as if he disappeared from this world."

Harry didn't speak.

Dumbledore reached out, brought a box, and put it on the table: "But there is good news, the last Horcrux, Nagini, is still in our hands."

When fighting Voldemort, the Patronus he summoned was not to inform Harry, or to inform his helpers.

Instead, let Rita tell them to capture Nagini.

"But even with this Horcrux, I can't track Tom down." Dumbledore sighed.

Harry looked at Dumbledore: "Albus, what do you think Tom will do to Eredin after his resurrection?"

Ciri tilted her head: "Harry, didn't you say they cooperated?"

how
It doesn't sound like they are collaborators.

"Ms. Ciri, you have never had contact with Tom." Dumbledore said softly, "I don't know what kind of person he is."

"I guessed as Harry did."

Harry said softly, "Tom didn't show up, and he didn't contact Professor Snape, which means he's dealing with something more important than these."

"What could be more important than these things?"

"That is to hold in your hands those powers that you can't fully grasp."

"For Tom, the Wild Hunt is not a force that he can completely control."

Ciri was surprised: "You mean, that man named Tom or Voldemort will attack Eredin?"

Dumbledore nodded.

Snape gasped suddenly, and he rolled up his sleeves. On the left arm bestowed by Voldemort, the Dark Mark was emitting a faint wave of magic power, and a hot red light was emitting from the lines.

After a whole day of silence, it finally responded.
