Hogwarts Melting Ice Journey

"Quick, this report will be printed now, immediately, immediately. I must see you print out the first batch of one thousand copies within five minutes." In the printing factory affiliated to the Daily Prophet, an older-looking man , the middle-aged man wearing a robe full of ink stains roared.

"The Boy Who Lived defeated the mysterious man," the middle-aged man shouted excitedly, "If we can quickly distribute this to all parts of the UK, the best-selling book this year will definitely be the Daily Prophet, hahahaha "

The wizard in charge of managing the printing machine took a curious look at the content on the template. He rubbed his eyes to confirm that he had read it correctly, "Oh, the mysterious man actually defeated Merlin by a boy. How did he do it?"

He hurriedly put the template into the machine, and then pulled the lever. Five minutes later, new and still warm 1,000-point newspapers were printed continuously from the machine.

The middle-aged man kissed the newspaper excitedly. He swore that he had never kissed his wife so passionately before.

"Quickly, print another three thousand to five thousand copies," he shouted at the wizard in charge of the printing machine, and then used a floating spell to transport all one thousand newspapers away. He had to quickly let the owl send out all these newspapers.

"Stephen, wake up quickly" Rowan shook Stephen from his sleep.

Stephen glanced at Rowan drowsily, "Who died?"

"You must have never imagined that the mysterious man was defeated by the Boy Who Lived. The Daily Prophet said he was probably dead." Rowan's voice sounded very excited. No news could be more surprising than this.

Stephen nodded drowsily, "Oh, I got it."

Then he closed his eyes again and prepared to continue sleeping. He had just slept not long ago, and now he was very sleepy.

"Stephen, this is the biggest event in the British wizarding world in recent years." Rowan did not give Stephen a chance to continue sleeping. "Get up, everyone is celebrating. Even Professor McGonagall has approved that students in the school can stay at night in recent days. carnival"

Stephen had to sit up from the bed. In his mind, this was something that had been planned to happen for a long time. There was nothing to celebrate for him.

But because Rowan kept making noises in his ears, he really couldn't sleep, so he had no choice but to get up and get dressed, and went out to participate in the carnival with Rowan.

The great lawn of Hogwarts was already crowded with students, many of whom gathered around and sang carols loudly. But to Stephen’s ears, it’s better not to sing so loudly that it pollutes the ears.

Stephen used his wand to get some water and wiped it on himself to wake him up. He was dragged along by Rowan. When passing other students, Stephen looked at their expressions, and they were all extremely excited. .

Owls kept flying from outside the school, dropping a large number of newspapers on the lawn, all of which were the latest reports that had just been printed. Students jumped to their feet and scrambled for newspapers, the sound of paper tearing being completely drowned out by their noise.

Stephen looked around and saw no signs of Hagrid or Dumbledore. Professor McGonagall was also on the lawn. She looked good and her face no longer had the serious expression of the past.

The other professors were sitting around a long table and they looked excited too.

"Bless the Boy Who Lived!" someone shouted using amplifying curse.

"The Boy Who Lived!" the others shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Hey Stephen, I think you should have heard what happened just now," Rowan dragged Stephen and squeezed next to Petunia, who asked excitedly.

"Penny, what did you say?" Stephen didn't hear it clearly at all. It was too noisy, so he asked Penny to repeat it loudly.

"I said, you should have heard what happened just now," Penny repeated loudly.

Stephen nodded, but before he could say a few words, Rowan continued to drag him away. Penny looked around her and followed them out of the crowd.

"Stephen, you have seen it all." Rowan dragged Stephen to a corner that was not so noisy, and then let go of his hand. His clothes looked messy and his hair was messy.

Stephen straightened his robes, "Isn't it obvious, Rowan?"

"Everyone, everyone is so excited." Rowan took off his own eyes and checked its condition. It was a little too crowded just now.

"Yes, after all, Voldemort died and was defeated by a boy." Stephen said casually.

"Do you think the mysterious man is really dead?" Penny squeezed out from the crowd and stood next to the two of them.

"Of course" Rowan took out a copy of the Daily Prophet and waved it, "This is what is written in the newspaper."

Stephen looked at Rowan and thought for a few seconds but did not say what he wanted to say. Penny happily snatched the newspaper from Rowan's hand and read it:

"This evening, You-Know-Who and his minions attacked Godric's Hollow... Voldemort left a lightning-shaped scar on the forehead of Harry Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived, and himself. No trace... Aurors from the Ministry of Magic raided the Death Eaters who stayed outside and learned from them that Voldemort had disappeared..."

Petunia quickly finished reading the contents of the newspaper, and then said excitedly: "This is really great, isn't it? The mysterious man is missing, and all the Death Eaters are about to be arrested by the Ministry of Magic."

Rowan happily agreed with Petunia's statement, while Stephen just nodded slightly.

"Stephen, why don't you look so excited?" Penny noticed Stephen's strangeness.

"Are there any casualties in the newspaper?" Stephen looked at Penny and asked.

"It seems...no" Penny replied uncertainly, then looked at the newspaper in her hand and shook her head, "No."

"Since he can break into Harry Potter's room, it means that his parents have already" Stephen didn't finish what he said, but both Rowan and Petunia knew what he was going to say.

"That's really pitiful." The excitement on Penny's face disappeared, replaced by a sense of regret.

Rowan took the newspaper and glanced at it quickly, "It seemed to be mentioned in the newspaper, and there was also news of the death of a wizard named Dale Robinson."

He held the newspaper between Petunia and Stephen and pointed at it.

Stephen looked at where Rowan was pointing. Under the section that described the battle between Voldemort and Harry Potter, there was only a very small box separating the above content. It said Harry Potter's parents and Death of Dale Robinson.

The three of them looked at this with a little regret in their hearts. What Stephen felt more in his heart may be a kind of powerlessness.

Christmas Eve, for many wizards who were threatened by Death Eaters, was the most peaceful Christmas Eve they had spent in several years. There were parades and gatherings of wizards on many streets in Britain, but many Muggles just thought they were celebrating Halloween in advance.
