Hogwarts: Harry Returns From The Witcher

Hogwarts.

When Harry and the others returned to school, what they saw was the black lake that was covered in frost and had not yet thawed.

The mermaids cursed.

Use a fork or magic to break the ice as much as possible.

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

When they saw Harry, they screamed loudly.

Harry responded to them with equally high-pitched screams, the mermaids sighed, and a few continued to scream.

Harry waved his wand and conjured a bunch of ice-breaking props for them.

"Oh, that's it?" Xili probed her head and stared at the group of strange-looking little creatures.

"Merman." Harry simply introduced, "A subhuman magical animal that is friendly to humans."

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

He paused: "Seeing that I once beat up their clan, but I didn't have time, I got them some tools."

Xili looked at the mermaid who was working even harder to break the ice now that she had the tools at her disposal: "Your life here is wonderful."

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

They walked into the castle.

Ciri exclaimed again. Hogwarts doesn't look big from the outside, but when you step in from the door, the internal structure is much grander than Kaer Morhen. Most importantly, it has almost no gloominess that a normal castle would have. Temperament, even late at night, those dotted lights give the castle a warm atmosphere.

"Who is it?" Harry and the others did not hide their actions, and the sound of footsteps elicited a sharp meow and a somewhat hoarse voice.

An old man walked out of the darkness holding an oil lamp.

His steps were as silent as a cat's.

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 matched her initial imagination of a thousand-year-old castle.

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

Mrs. Norris rushed out, got to Harry's feet, and nuzzled him intimately.

Ciri was surprised: "Harry! There is actually a cat saying hello to you."

It's incredible that a witcher would be liked by a cat.

Harry waved his wand, took out a few owl rations from the Sorting Hat, and landed lightly in front of Loris.

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

"There was an attack on Hogwarts 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 understand."

"Is Professor Dumbledore in his office?"

Filch responded: "He'll be back in the afternoon."

return?

Harry raised an eyebrow.

Dumbledore went out after the attack?

He waved his wand and summoned the divine guardian. A ray of silver light flew out and turned into a huge gryphon after landing. Harry sent it to notify Geralt and Yennefer.

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

Read the password, open the door and walk in.

Dumbledore was not alone in the room, there was Snape, sitting in a chair with a tired look on his face.

"Harry." Dumbledore raised his hand to greet him. When he saw the white-haired girl next to Hermione, he paused and said, "Is this Ms. Shirley?"

Harry nodded: "What's wrong with Professor Snape?"

"The bezoar in your head has increased so much that the Potions Master is at his wits' end."

Faced with Harry's ridicule, Snape just raised his head and sneered without saying a word.

"Something happened today." Dumbledore waved, conjured a few chairs, waved to them, gesturing for them to sit down, "Severus is very hard."

"Want something to drink?"

"What do you want Ms. Hilly?"

Xili replied: "Just black tea."

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

Including the Goblin Rebellion at Gringotts.

The information transmitted by the Ministry of Magic was wrong. The number of goblins was more than a hundred, three times the number reported by them.

Dumbledore went over and fought off the goblins with a lot of effort.

Severus, who appeared as a Death Eater, was entangled by a group of Aurors. He could not reveal his identity, use potions, or use the spells he was good at. He was almost dragged to Dunbu by the Aurors. When Lido takes action.

The most important thing.

After Voldemort was resurrected, he never contacted the Dark Lord again, and even the Dark Mark on his body showed no reaction.

Where did he go?

doing what?

Dumbledore was nowhere to be found, and neither was Snape.

After hearing this, Harry rubbed his head: "It's pretty much what I guessed, Albus, I learned from Ilerith's memory."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

There was a bang - the door was pushed open hard.

Yennefer, who was wearing her nightgown backwards, rushed in. Her eyes turned quickly. Almost instantly, the arrow hit the target and caught Ciri. The only thing in her eyes was the little white-haired girl.

"Ciri!" she cheered in surprise.

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

Yennefer rushed over and hugged her.

"My beautiful little girl." Yennefer looked at her, "Now you have become a great beauty."

Geralt followed him, saying nothing and smiling slightly.

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

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

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

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

Yennefer didn't seem to notice what she was wearing, so she just grabbed something and came out, wearing her nightgown inside out.

Geralt was better, his pajamas were quite neat. But I didn't wear shoes, so I ran here barefoot.

"Nothing is more important than Ciri." Yennefer shook her head, "Harry, well done. You are now a much better demon hunter than Geralt."

Geralt shook his head and released Ciri.

He became a stepping stone.

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

Harry waved: "Let's talk about old times later. Ciri and I met Illerys in another world."

"From his memory, Eredin abandoned the commander of the Wild Hunt, making him a pawn that would ensure my stay in that world."

"Caranthir, Ilereth."

"They paid such a huge price just to know that I would be in that world for one day."

"For Today"

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

"Paying such a high price just to help the Dark Lord resurrect?" Snape sneered, "That man named Eredin really loves the Dark Lord deeply."

Dumbledore shook his head: "Tom has always been good at confusing people."

"The Iron El elves were once the same race as another elves named Ironside." Ciri explained, "They were powerful and elegant. They used to be a whole race that could travel through various worlds, but One day, they were targeted by Bai Shuang, and their original world was destroyed by Bai Shuang."

"They fled from world to world, but Bai Shuang would always chase them from world to world."

"A golden boy, a commander"

"In the long years of escape, the elves of Ain El have lost many such people under the white frost."

"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 Ein El elves, Eredin can accept it no matter what, as long as the hoar frost can be controlled.

Snape said nothing.

Dumbledore didn't comment either.

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

"Professor Snape, can you contact Voldemort?" Harry turned his head and looked at the even more tired man.

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

"There is no way to contact him, and there is no way for any magic to contact him."

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

Harry said nothing.

Dumbledore stretched out his hand, summoned a box, and placed 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 notify Harry or his assistants.

Instead, inform Rita and the others and ask them to capture Nagini.

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

Harry looked at Dumbledore: "Albus, what do you think Tom will do to Eredin after he is resurrected?"

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

how

It doesn't sound like they are collaborators.

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

"I guessed the same as Harry."

Harry said softly: "Tom didn't show up and didn't contact Professor Snape. That 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 cannot fully control yet."

"The Wild Hunt is not a force that Tom can fully control."

Ciri was surprised: "You mean, that person named Tom or Voldemort will take action against Eredin?"

Dumbledore nodded.

Snape suddenly took a breath of cold air. He lifted up his sleeves. On the left arm given by Voldemort, the Dark Mark was emitting faint magic waves, and a hot red light was emitting from the lines.

After being silent for a whole day, it finally responded.
