Hogwarts in a parallel world

Chapter 18 Losing the Academy Cup

Dumbledore arrived not long after Harry fainted.After listening to Winters' story, Dumbledore said to everyone present: The school will not hold you accountable for any violation of school rules.What you just did saved everyone.Harry needs medical attention. If you want to visit him, wait until he wakes up.

Then Dumbledore told Aurora that it was best to prepare, because Gryffindor still had the last game of the semester. It could lose, but it couldn't be without everyone. This would be disrespectful to the opponent.

It was already midnight when Winters returned to his dormitory, exhausted.He was surprised to find Neville lying on the ground, apparently under a spell.After he lifted the curse on Neville, he found out that it was Hermione who did it.

"You will let Gryffindor score 0 points." Neville's round face was already filled with sorrow.

"Professor Dumbledore said he would not hold us accountable this time," Winters said.

"Really?" Neville said in disbelief.

"Why did I lie to you? And I saw the mysterious man. He has no body now." Winters changed the subject.

"Did you fight the mysterious man?" Neville asked longingly.

"The mysterious man possessed Professor Lodge. Then...my spell deflected Lodge's spell. Lodge conjured a shield, but I smashed his shield and his wand broke. "

"What happens next?" Neville asked curiously and with admiration.

"Don't look at me like that - and then Harry jumped up and grabbed Rocky right in the face, and then Rocky was in pieces. Then the mysterious man ran away," Winters said simply.

Neville listened to his narration and was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

"Thank you for reminding me." Winters couldn't help but feel frightened when he thought of the descriptions of the last war.

"That's nothing..." Neville said immediately.

"I...I didn't do anything, and I almost ruined something big," Neville said in a very embarrassed tone.

Two days later, Harry was still in the hospital, but Gryffindor was facing a playoff match against Hufflepuff. Aurora took Harry's place. As a result, Aurora used her own fake moves to completely mess up Hufflepuff. Chipachi's pace of play.

In the end, they won 300:110. The team members carried Aurora around the field. People around her were saying, "Your sister is definitely the most out-of-the-box seeker. She will definitely enter the professional league in the future."

When he went back, he saw a note: It was written in circle within circle font: Harry has woken up, and he obviously wants to know how you found him.

"Then let me go with you and tell him the good news by the way," Aurora said.

When he arrived at the infirmary, he found that Hermione, Ron, Elena, Elsa, Karai, and Slyer had also arrived.Winters told the story of why they appeared.

"Your mother asked me to tell you that they love you," Winters said.

Winters briefly thought Harry was going to cry, but Harry just rubbed his eyes.

"But I think you coped well. Rocky lost one of his hands at the time," Aurora said.

"But I was hit by a spell and almost lost consciousness from the pain. I only had one thought left, that I couldn't let the Philosopher's Stone be taken away. I thought I was going to die somewhere. Then I heard a loud noise, and after a while You guys stormed out," Harry recalled.

"Winters' spell actually deflected Rocky's spell." Ron looked at Winters with admiration in his eyes.

"Not only that spell, Rocky also turned into a blue shield and then came out, and then the shield was shattered. I only felt a scorching wind... Professor Dumbledore," Harry said.

"It seems I came at the wrong time." They turned their heads following the voice and found Dumbledore standing quietly at the door.

"Professor Dumbledore...we are too involved"

Dumbledore: "I understand how you feel now. But I have something I want to talk to Harry and Winters alone."

"I'll tell you" Winters winked at Aurora.

After everyone else had gone out, Dumbledore spoke: "Harry, first of all, I want to express my pride at you. I didn't expect you to take on the responsibility so quickly, and you seem to be doing well. I guess you must have a lot of questions." Ask me”

Harry: "Why can't Loki get the Philosopher's Stone? And why can't Loki touch me... As soon as he touches me, he starts to shatter?"

Dumbledore: "I think this is the mark your mother left on you. It is the mark of love. A greedy, selfish person like Loch, who sold his soul to Voldemort, will of course be in pain after touching this beautiful mark." .As for whether you can get the Philosopher's Stone... Dumbledore laughed.

"This is my little cleverness. Only those who don't care about the Sorcerer's Stone can get the Sorcerer's Stone."

Harry: "I always thought it was Snape...and it was actually him who was reciting Rocky's counter-curse."

Dumbledore: "It's Professor Snape Harry, you should call him Professor Snape"

Harry: "It's Professor Snape. He hates me, but why does he still protect me?"

Dumbledore said slowly: "This is the complexity of human nature. Professor Snape and your father were sworn enemies when they were in school. It wasn't until your father saved his life that he would protect you. This way you can feel at ease." You continue to hate your father.”

Harry: "Why did the mysterious man disappear for 7 months and the first thing he did when he reappeared was to kill me?"

"It's Voldemort, Harry, and You-Know-Who are synonymous with people escaping from reality in the face of fear. We can't let fear take over."

"Okay...Voldemort, why did he want to kill me? And after disappearing for 7 months, the first thing he did when he reappeared was to kill me."

Dumbledore sighed heavily: "Harry, I can't answer this question. You have to know that sometimes the truth is a scary thing. Although it is very attractive, many times it will be very scary. Wait until you are ready. , I will tell you."

"Hmm... Then Professor... what should I do with the Philosopher's Stone?"

Dumbledore: "The Philosopher's Stone was destroyed. After discussing it with the Flamel couple, I always thought that was the best way."

Harry: "But they will die"

Dumbledore: "Yes, you will die. But to people like them, death is like going to bed after a long journey. To them death is just the beginning of another great adventure."

Although the Philosopher's Stone can bring endless lifespan and countless wealth, human beings like things that are not good for themselves." Dumbledore hummed with a smile after finishing speaking.

"Professor, can I stay at Hogwarts? I've had enough of my aunt and uncle." Harry was eager for a positive reply.

"Child... I think it's better for you to go back. After all, that place is where you grew up... And I will tell you the reason in the future. You are still too young now."

Just as Winters was listening fascinated, Dumbledore turned his head and looked at him and said: "Winters, after this thrilling journey, you are surprisingly quiet."

Winters: "I just followed the wishes of Harry's parents... But I don't understand... Why didn't Harry's parents find you? I'm just a first-year student... At most, I have outstanding talent... . But I am only in the first grade, what can I do... And how can the souls of Harry's parents..."

Dumbledore smiled and said: "Winters, you asked me several questions at once... Let's talk about them one by one. Didn't you just do something big a few days ago? The resulting shield shattered Professor Lodge's wand."

"But why didn't I come to you? Besides, Harry's parents still have the souls of my parents..." Winters still didn't understand.

Dumbledore: "Because I'm old and sometimes I can't keep up with the thinking of young people. As for why you can find their souls... Winters, I can only answer this question after you are ready."

But you and Harry both have to believe in one thing, the people who love us live in our hearts and they will always be with us."

Winters was speechless for a moment.Dumbledore picked up a light pink bean and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he immediately coughed and said: "Merlin's beard... black pepper and chili pepper...".

Since Harry needed a rest, Winters and Aurora left first, and Hermione and Ron decided to stay with Harry for a while.Winters told his friends all that Dumbledore had said.Elena seems to be a little more optimistic about the future.

The last day came in a blink of an eye, and everyone was sitting in the auditorium waiting for Dumbledore to announce the final winner of the Academy Cup.

"It's another fulfilling year. Let me read out the scores of each house first. Gryffindor 321 points, Hufflepuff 352 points, Ravenclaw 426 points, and Slytherin 476 points." On the Slytherin table Cheers erupted.

“But we still had some points to take care of, and the auditorium went silent for a moment.

"First of all, Ron Weissley, he played the most wonderful wizard chess, plus 50 points." Ron blushed horribly, and Percy kept saying that was my brother.

"Then there is Hermione. Granger, who is not afraid of danger and shows outstanding reasoning skills, adds 50 points to Gryffindor." Hermione's head almost buried, while Gryffindor was shouting wildly.

"And then there's Harry Potter" The auditorium fell silent again.

"Showing fearless courage and responsibility, 50 points added." Many people at the Griffin table burst into cheers like a tsunami.

"Then there's Neville Longbottom. It takes courage to stop your friends from making mistakes, plus 10 points." The Gryffindor table was already in chaos.

"Everyone, wait a moment, there are still many people here," Dumbledore said with a smile, and the auditorium suddenly became quiet.

"Winters Reno showed unparalleled magical skills and added 50 points to Gryffindor. Aurora Ison performed the most exciting Quidditch move in the past 70 years and added 50 points to Gryffindor. [-] points"

"Of course we have not forgotten that Irina and her brothers, Elsa and her roommates, and Slyer stood up for Harry Potter when he was in danger and were able to cross the halls. to lend a hand to the differences, so I’m going to add 300 points for Slytherin and 70 points for Hufflepuff.”

"And Ravenclaw, right? Of course, the seventh-year student of Ravenclaw, Maul Major, assisted senior potion researcher Stranger John in reducing the cost of the Wolf Potion and the Vampire Healing Potion. More than 99%, the production time has been reduced to 1 hour. It has brought more warmth and fairness to our society, so the winner of the Academy Cup this time is Ravenclaw."

The Ravenclaw table erupted at its loudest volume.

"So we need some changes" Dumbledore said over the Ravenclaw's voice.Dumbledore waved his wand, and the silver and green drapes representing Slytherin changed to the blue drapes representing Ravenclaw.

"No matter what, at least we're not at the bottom anymore," Winters said to Harry.

"This is life, there will always be surprises for you." Ron helplessly drank the iced pumpkin juice.

This is my address and I don't want to spend the whole vacation talking to my cousin.Otherwise I will go crazy." Harry copied several copies of his address and gave them to his friends.

"Don't think it's so bad, we'll meet again in two months," Ron said

"I think this holiday has been incredibly difficult every day for Harry," Aurora said.

"Aurora is right. If I had the chance, I wouldn't want to stay there for a moment. But what Dumbledore meant was that I should go back and have a look. After all, that's where I grew up." Harry was helpless. explain.

Winters, Aurora, Elena's brothers, Elsa, and Slyer boarded the Hogwarts Express No. [-].Harry, Ron and Hermione boarded the Hogwarts Express.

The train started to move, and Elena looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window and suddenly asked: "Winters, do you think the color of things the soul sees is the same as what we see?"

"How do I know? I didn't have an out-of-body experience... Why did you start again?" Winters glared at Elena.

Elena: "I'm just asking...and you better hope you can win the bet, otherwise you will see that the souls of Harry's parents are always with him."

Winters: "What do you mean?"

Elena gave Winters a hard look: "I mean, if you lose, I will go find you. Be careful when walking at night."

"Elena, don't scare my brother," Aurora said with a smile.

"Without pressure, there is no motivation." Elena also laughed.

"My sister has been like this since she got sick. She is afraid that she will disappear without leaving anything behind," Les said quietly.

"She left a deep impression on me...I don't think I will lose." Winters said firmly as he watched Hogwarts disappear.
