I do not know how long it has been.

The orange-red sun finally rose from the top of the mountain at the end of the field of vision.

Since the surrounding clouds had been dissipated by the aftermath of the battle between Link and Voldemort, the first ray of morning light today was extremely harsh and dazzling, and almost instantly dispelled the darkness that shrouded the entire world and the stars that filled the sky.

It was only at this time that the gates of Hogwarts Castle were opened.

Countless students rushed out of their nests, stepping on the still-hot semi-crystalline ground and running towards Link's location like crazy.

They are eager to confirm the final result of the battle.

Some people who were more impatient even cheered while running.

However, all the cheerful emotions came to an abrupt end when they approached Link.

Everyone, including the professors, stopped, and everyone stared blankly at Snape and Harry who were snuggling together.

The almost substantive golden sunlight hit them, lining their slightly smiling faces with extra serenity.

It's like they just fell asleep.

Professor McGonagall instinctively wanted to go forward to check, but he raised his foot but couldn't fall.

Link, who is in front of him, feels too dangerous at the moment.

Although he always turned his back to everyone, a strong emotion mixed with sadness, pain and anger permeated the surrounding air, and under the blessing of the overflowing magic power formed a substantial, similar to coercion and anger. Momentum or something.

Under the isolation of this momentum, everyone lost the desire to enter it.

This is the fear that comes from the instinct of the creature, and it is also engraved in the DNA. Human beings have a subconscious awe for the higher creatures.

Then a strange scene appeared.

Countless people who came here were clearly anxious, but they all stopped five meters away from Link, looking eagerly at Snape and Harry's not far away, 'corpses'?

Most people don't even dare to let out the air.

It was not until Ron, Hermione and Dumbledore arrived that this bizarre situation was completely broken.

With the help of Dumbledore, Madam Pomfrey, Ron and others walked into Link's aura first.

They eagerly rushed to Harry and Snape's side, trying to separate them, but found that their hands were holding each other tightly, no matter how hard Madam Pomfrey tried, they couldn't separate them.

In desperation, Madam Pomfrey could only examine the two in her twisted posture.

"What... what's wrong? Madam Pomfrey!"

Almost as soon as Madam Pomfrey attacked, Ron asked eagerly.

Madam Pomfrey is not a good-natured adult. If you want to change to the usual way, this kind of behavior will definitely be ruthlessly reprimanded by Madam Pomfrey.

This time, however, Madam Pomfrey was unexpectedly silent.

She raised her slightly red eyes, first looked at Link, who was quiet and independent not far away, and then sighed, choked and said:

"Severus he... he's dead. Harry is... badly wounded, his body almost melted, but that's not the point. Physical wounds are ok with healing and potions. Healing, the key lies in his soul. Harry's soul also seems to have... a fundamental problem. It seems to be broken. In this state, even if I healed his body, the incompleteness of his soul remains. It will make Harry unable to wake up. It is estimated that for a long time in the future, Harry can only spend in a deep sleep. And even if he can wake up, his consciousness will be affected. "

As soon as Madam Pomfrey finished speaking, Ron and Hermione had completely collapsed.

The two rushed towards Harry crying, but they didn't dare to touch Harry's broken body to cause more serious injuries. They could only stand on the side crying loudly, and Ron clenched his fists.

"Ugh--"

Dumbledore sighed deeply and looked to the side of Link, who never said a word, not even the slightest emotion on his face.

No one at the scene knew better than him how deep Link's feelings for Severus and Harry were.

The place these two occupy in Link's heart is absolutely very important.

Especially Snape.

Link was even planning to get Snape married, have children, and start a family.

However, all these beautiful longings were all turned into bubbles, and they were pierced by the dazzling sunlight as the sun rose as the sun rose.

"Link, the Voldemort detachment in Harry's body has been completely eliminated, you and I can detect this. And this time, it's just that the group of shadow men swayed the Voldemort detachment in Harry's body. Affecting Harry has nothing to do with Harry himself or even Severus. So please..."

"You've jumped out to be a good person now?"

Dumbledore's words were interrupted by Link's cold voice.

The surrounding atmosphere also changed.

The amount of information in Dumbledore's words was simply too great.

There weren't many idiots among the students present. Although they couldn't understand what Voldemort's sub-soul was, they could still perceive from it that this tragedy at Hogwarts must have something to do with Harry.

Even some people who were originally hostile to Harry Potter and even Gryffindor have simply thrown the name of the Leading Party on Harry's head.

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes on Harry changed.

Dumbledore, who noticed this, also sighed.

He knew exactly what Link's words were referring to.

That was his dissatisfaction with the Hogwarts Headmaster who had clearly wanted to use Harry and Snape, but now he came out to be a good person.

He naturally understood how serious the impact of what he had just said would be.

But he had to say it, and immediately!

Because if the time dragged on and the anger in Link's chest that was suppressed by Occlumency continued to ferment, then Harry might lose his only chance of surviving.

Gritting his teeth, he continued:

"It happened when I was at Hogwarts, and all the responsibility is on me. I'm willing to give up my position as Hogwarts staff representative. As for Harry Potter, let him go to St Mungo's Witchcraft and Wizardry. Recuperate in an injury hospital. He is no longer in a condition to continue his studies at Hogwarts."

As soon as these words came out, the professors immediately exploded.

Several major professors represented by Professor McGonagall began to persuade Dumbledore.

But Dumbledore kept staring at Link, with earnestness and a faint pleading in his eyes.

This made many Hufflepuffs and Slytherins, including John, all frown.

Dumbledore clearly wanted Link to forgive Harry.

But the problem is, Link hasn't expressed his intention to punish Harry yet!

Under such circumstances, Dumbledore rushed out to be a good guy, no doubt robbing Ende who originally belonged to Link, and making Link a bad guy because of his preconceived notions.

This should put aside John's scolding long ago.

He absolutely trusts Link's existence. Apart from Link, the influence of Professor and Dumbledore in his heart has been weakened to the extreme. When confronted with this kind of conflict about Link, he even dared to turn against Dumbledore directly.

But the problem is that Dumbledore also said that he would give up his position as a Hogwarts staff representative.

Hogwarts is a place where he has dedicated his life to making it his home!

Did Dumbledore just let go?

If this is also the price of being a good person, then this price is too heavy.

The fist clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched, and after a few back-and-forths, the tangled John finally looked at Link.

Right now, I can only let Link make the decision!

However, the next moment, under everyone's astonished gaze, Link walked over to Snape and Harry without saying a word.

Ron stood in front of Harry nervously, his lips squirming as if he wanted to plead, but he couldn't say anything.

Gu Xi

Fortunately, Link doesn't seem to have any malicious intent.

He raised his wand slightly, separating Harry's and Snape's tightly joined hands.

Then he personally carried Snape's body and walked towards Hogwarts Castle.

The Hufflepuffs took the initiative to open a path for him in the crowd, and they only followed after Link walked slowly through with steady steps.

Next came the Durmstrang reinforcements represented by Krum.

Then, Slytherin and Ravenclaws also glanced at the Gryffindors with disdain and indignation, and followed.

In the end, only the professor and the Gryffindors were left to surround Harry.

By this time, many people were relieved.

Although Link didn't speak, the act of leaving was the best answer.

At least they didn't have to worry about someone being bad for Harry anymore.

But Dumbledore's brows furrowed even more.

Link absorbed all the king's blood from Gerald!

This is what Dumbledore saw with his own eyes.

And the blood of the king has side effects!

This is also the reason why Dumbledore jumped out in such a hurry to plead for Harry.

Now, Harry is indeed safe, but Link's situation has become more and more dangerous without venting his emotions.

He took a deep breath, and finally, he gritted his teeth and shouted:

"Link! Next, what are you going to do?"

Dumbledore's voice echoed over the empty battlefield.

Hearing the words, Gryffindor around and even Hufflepuff, who had followed Link gradually away, couldn't help but look back at him.

But there was no pause under Link's feet.

As he walked, he said expressionlessly:

"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"

Link's voice was not loud, but these words were like bombs that exploded in everyone's ears.

The crowd behind Link all stared dully at the figure walking at the forefront.

Gradually, a light of fire rose from their eyes.

As everyone's expressions became more and more hideous, this group of flames became more and more vigorous, and finally, it turned into a uniform roar!

"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"

……

The next day.

Inside the Leaky Cauldron at the entrance to Diagon Alley.

Although it was only in the morning, the place was already full of people.

The bar owner Tom was not surprised by this.

It's really normal for the Leaky Cauldron to be full.

Because in addition to being a wizarding pub, the Leaky Cauldron is also a safe haven and sanctuary for members of the magical society.

This is a privilege granted by the original Minister of Magic, Uric Gamp, after it was officially implemented.

Since then, the Leaky Cauldron has been full all year round.

Even the time when Voldemort was rampant in the wizarding world was no exception.

After all, Death Eaters are human beings, and they also need entertainment.

After hundreds of years, almost the entire magical world of the country has developed a habit of coming to the Leaky Cauldron when there is something to do.

This habit is so powerful that, despite the reorganization of the Ministry of Magic, the promulgation of massive commercial policies and subsidies, various functions similar to the Leaky Cauldron, and pubs with more exquisite decoration and food have sprung up in Diagon Alley. But the Leaky Cauldron's business has not been affected in any way.

Except for young people who don't have much affection for the Leaky Cauldron, or who have special needs.

The rest of the customers generally only choose to visit the new bars when the Leaky Cauldron is full.

So overall, Tom is still at ease about the current state of the Leaky Cauldron.

Of course, he is also planning renovations and industrial upgrading.

This is the only way to make the Leaky Cauldron continue to be competitive in the future. After all, the facilities at the Leaky Cauldron are still too shabby for now.

Especially those tables and chairs.

A large number of them are even older than the customers sitting on them drinking.

Tom is planning to replace them almost every day, but he has to shelve the plan because he is concerned about the hobbies of some eccentric guests for old things, so he is very entangled!

Fortunately, today, he finally doesn't have to worry about this matter.

This is of course not because the pile of tables and chairs were all eaten by a customer's three-headed **** dog as he imagined, but because at this moment, although the entire Leaky Cauldron Bar is full of people, but in the past The cheers and scolding filled with fireworks no longer exist.

In a huge Leaky Cauldron Bar, there was silence, only the faint sound of sobbing and the occasional sound of wine pouring into the throat were still echoing.

Not only that.

There was a lingering haze on almost everyone's faces.

In a large space, the atmosphere is extremely heavy, mixed with the strong smell of gunpowder, mixed with the various cigarette smells, alcohol smells and food smells that exist in the bar~lightnovelpub.net~ It is suffocating. illusion.

Tom behind the bar nervously wiped the empty wine glass in his hand. After wiping it clean, he placed it in front of a customer in a suit and leather shoes, with a delicate hairstyle and a social elite appearance, and poured another full glass for him. Fire Whiskey.

This person has been sitting here all morning, without ordering anything.

Looking at his lost soul, Tom felt that he needed a glass of wine, the stronger the better!

When the guest saw this, he did not refuse, but offered a gold Galleon, but Tom shook his head and said:

"I'll take this cup."

Hearing that, the guest was stunned and seemed to be hesitating, but in the end he nodded, raised his glass to toast Tom, and then drank it.

Seeing the pained expression on the guest's face, Tom silently shook his head.

From this point of view, it is not a person who often drinks.

Even people like the other party would not usually come to the Leaky Cauldron for consumption. After all, the environment here is too bad for them.

But today is different.

Today is a special day.

"Bang!"

The wine glass was placed in front of Tom again, and at the same time, a whole bag of Golden Galleons fell.

"One more drink!" The guest said with red eyes, "I will also give everyone a drink, I'll treat you!"

Tom didn't pick up the bag of Golden Galleons, but instead his eyes fell on the share in front of the guest.
