Chapter 609 Public Execution(1/3)
Both Harry and Hermione chose to shut their mouths.
Not only that, they also forced Ron to swear, not to reveal the matter at all.
Because they know very well what impact it will have if this matter is spread.
Although there is no reliable evidence for the French revenge, in many cases, evidence is an optional thing.
At that time, the angry students would not care about any evidence or not.
They will start boycotting Gabrie together.
Even bullying.
This has happened so many times in Hogwarts.
Neville was previously a victim of similar incidents.
After all this, the dinner was almost over.
This time Dumbledore did not speak again because he had never returned since leaving the auditorium with Emily and Newland.
In the end, Professor McGonagall stood up and fulfilled Dumbledore's work - announcing that everyone could return to the dormitory to rest.
"I dare say Dumbledore must have gone to support Link. The problem on their side may be very difficult! Maybe he may be besieged by the Death Eaters!"
Until he lay on his own beds, Ron was still talking nonstop.
His eyebrows were already crowded together, looking extremely anxious.
It is as if the person who is really in the battle of the Death Eaters and is trapped in the siege is himself.
To be honest, his words are very contagious.
At least the rest of the roommates in the dormitory were all excited by him and were filled with sorrow that they wanted to put on their clothes and support Link.
This is their responsibility as members!
But Harry was very helpless when he saw this.
He knew very well that Ron was sick.
He shook his head and continued to concentrate on writing a letter to Sirius.
This was his agreement with Sirius, and he had to contact each other at least every other week.
Originally, this connection could be easily solved through a double-sided mirror.
But helplessly, with Dumbledore's previous announcement in the auditorium, Dumbledore has now officially entered a strict state of control similar to the state of war in the Ministry of Magic.
In this state, students may not use any contact tool other than paper letters.
"call--"
As the last letter was finished, Harry exhaled.
He put the letter beside the bed and was about to send it out the next day. Then he cast a spell on himself with an ear plug. He quickly closed his eyes regardless of Ron and others who were still making noise around him.
As the sleepyness came, Harry fell into a deep sleep.
...
Bang—
The next day, with the first ray of sunshine in the morning shining into the tower where the Gryffindor lounge was located, the door of Harry and Ron's dormitory was kicked open.
"Harry! Ron! Get up quickly! Something big happened!"
Hermione rushed in through the kicked door and shouted and lifted Harry and Ron's quilts directly.
This sudden incident scared both Harry and Ron.
The two of them looked at everything in front of them with sleepy eyes. When they truly realized what had happened, they covered their bodies with the remaining pillow in panic.
"Damn it! Hermione! You really should go to Miss Victoria to learn what kind of politeness is. This is the boy's dormitory, and you are a girl! Oh my God! I will definitely go back to Professor McGonagall to complain later! Why can't boys enter the girls' dormitory, but girls can break in at will? This is unfair!"
Ron muttered, but he didn't notice it when he spoke.
Since he mentioned Emily, Hermione's eyes became increasingly unkind when she looked at him.
Finally, with Hermione's punch, Ron's thoughts turned into miserable wails.
At the same time, Harry hugged the pillow and buried it in the corner of the bed, looking disappointed and confused.
The reason why he went to bed so early last night was to relive the dream of the day before yesterday.
The feeling of being wrapped in warmth, as if it was in the arms of my mother, was so beautiful.
Harry felt that he was a little addicted.
However, reality disappoints people.
Last night he had no dreams all night.
This should have been a good sleep, but it disappointed Harry at this moment.
"Hey! Harry, it's time for you to wake up, I have a huge news to tell you!"
Hermione finished beating Ron, panting and talking to Harry again.
Upon hearing this, Harry gradually emerged from his lost mood.
He still curled up in the corner of the bed and said in a sluggish manner:
"What news?"
Hermione shook her head and threw a copy of the Prophet Daily before him and said:
"You can take a look at it yourself. I hope you can still sit still after watching it."
Harry was unmoved.
He felt so weak that he was so weak that he felt weak.
Even he stood up and picked up the "Prophet Daily" that was close to him, and just stretched his neck and looked at the newspaper.
And the next moment, a hint of surprise flashed across his originally expressionless face.
Because on this page of "Prophet Daily", a huge line of titles was written in black and bold fonts - "Hogwarts Express and Diagon Alley encountered a terrorist attack! Several Aurors died!"
Harry rubbed his eyes in disbelief, thinking that he had read it wrong.
Ron, who was also looking at the newspaper next to him, jumped up and said excitedly:
"I've said it a long time ago that Hogwarts Express must be not the only one who was attacked! Look, I really got it!"
"Are you happy?"
Hermione said in a cold face and accentuated her tone, "Many people have been killed because of this attack!"
"No no...no, I'm not, I don't, I just... just..."
Ron looked stunned and waved his hand in panic.
But seeing this, Hermione ignored him and turned her head and said Harry with a serious expression:
"Continue to watch, Harry, and...be mentally prepared."
What does this mean?
Could it be that the losses are heavy?
Harry frowned and continued to look below the title.
And then what caught his eye was a small string of fonts that were also enlarged and bold:
At around 16:57 yesterday, the Hogwarts Express train that left the Kings Cross Station in the Kings Cross area in central London encountered a terrorist attack composed of Death Eaters and Dementors, and was forced to stop in the northern suburbs of Manchester. Then, the train mechanism was launched. Under the leadership of one of the three members of the Ministry of Magic, Commissioner Link Furley, the students on the train started self-defense. The Death Eaters and Dementors were all destroyed.
At around 18:05 on the same day, a terrorist attack by the Death Eaters also occurred in Diagon Alley. Then, under the counterattack of the Aurors and Commissioner Link Furley, the attack was quelled.
According to statistics, the attack directly or indirectly killed 7 Aurors, 19 Aurors were slightly injured, and economic losses were as high as 1,400 Jinjialong.
As of the time of writing this article, all those who directly participated in the attack had been arrested and were executed in Diagon Alley Square after trial by the Magical Law Enforcement Department!
The following is the execution list:
…………
"Execution?"
Looking at the newspaper in front of him, Harry stuttered.
"Oh, that's what you mean."
Hermione sighed, and while speaking, he helped Harry turn the page.
I saw that in the next five pages of the newspaper, all of them were filled with names.
Below each name, there are two photos hanging, one for the execution of the death of the person after his death.
Harry felt a little suffocated.
A tingling sensation spread wildly on his scalp, making him tremble.
Is this a hundred lives?
