UGB Chapter 142: When the Ball is in progress
Chapter 142: When the Ball is in progress
"Another year has passed!
Dumbledore stood up and looked at the crowd and said.
"I can still imagine what it was like for you to come to this school.
You have come here with a thirst and a yearning for magic.
And spent day after day here with your classmates.
As he spoke, Dumbledore's gaze fell on Ravenclaw's long table.
There, sat Beauxbatons students.
After feeling Dumbledore's gaze, the mood here has been very depressed.
That face looked extraordinarily pale and sad at the moment.
It also made the Hogwarts students show sadness on their faces.
"Tonight, I am filled with great grief.
It declares that we have lost some of our companions in our quest for magic.
Maybe they don't belong to the same school as us.
But we are all companions on the road of magic.
Wizards are not afraid of death! We can die for truth, dreams, and everything else worthy of giving our lives.
For us, death is just another path on the road to truth.
We may remember the dead but not dwell on grief, and this is the wizard.
Tonight!
Let's raise a glass to those who have walked before us on the 143rd Way of the Word of Truth!
To those who have fallen on the path of truth.
They are not alone.
Their names will be remembered by the wizarding world just like those forefathers!
Everyone stood up one after another, and everyone's eyes were slightly red.
The goblets on the table were lifted together.
The bright red wine shimmers in the light, like a glittering ruby.
Everyone said in unison in a deep and married voice:
"Dear companions!!
Everyone looked very solemn, and no one whispered that everyone was extremely serious.
Gazing through the crowd, Braun saw several Beauxbatons students crying in low voices.
Bean's tears slid down her cheeks and fell on the long table, splashing around again like white crystals.
"Many of you don't know exactly what's going on. 35
Dumbledore said in a deep voice:
"Both your parents and the Ministry of Magic have done their best to hide the news from you.
But I think.
You have a right to know what happened.
Looking at Dumbledore's serious expression, Braun had some guesses in his heart.
"During the Tournament of the Final Four, something happened that caused a sensation in the wizarding world.
That's the evil god!
Leave the hidden noise alone.
Dumbledore continued:
"It may sound unbelievable, but I'm going to tell you that those weird and powerful creatures exist!
Evil cultists try to summon the gods hidden in dark corners through sacrifices.
Both Durmstrang's students and Beauxbatons, who tragically died, were victims of the accident. 99
Everyone's eyes became frightened, staring at Dumbledore in disbelief.
"The Ministry of Magic doesn't want me to tell you this, even your parents."
Dumbledore continued.
"But I think it's in these cruel times that are coming.
The enemy will not let you go because you are young and you are young.
It is better to tell you the truth and make you realize the cruelty of the world than to create a false dream for you.
It is better to be killed by the enemy in the end without resistance.
At the same time, he is talking about the cruelty.
When we beat the game to our loved ones, I had to mention another person – Braun Foley!"
Dumbledore set his sights on Braun at Slytherin's long table.
Not only Dumbledore, but all the young wizards present turned their eyes away (afdc).
Braun not only took on his responsibilities as a warrior to protect the rest of the team in this game.
He also helped students in Castrobusher and Fleur Delacuri in Beauxbatons.
In the end, he risked his life to divert the beast tide and help his classmates get through the crisis.
He has shown a fearless spirit in all aspects.
This spirit of not being afraid of danger makes me not only admire.
Let me all pay tribute to him!'
Dumbledore was the first to raise his glass.
Just like just paying tribute to the deceased.
The little wizards raised their glasses to drink the red wine like Dumbledore.
Braun himself is no exception.
When everyone was seated again, Dumbledore said again:
"The purpose of the Quad Tournament is to strengthen the connection and understanding of young wizards in the wizarding world.
Promote unity in the wizarding community.
And now what is the time.
This connection is far more important than ever.
While speaking, Dumbledore looked at Madame Maxime.
Fleur Delacuri and the two surviving team members and the other Beauxbatons students.
Then came Clara, Serena and Castro Bushhers.
"Everyone in this Great Hall, whether they were Hogwarts students or guests from afar.
Dumbledore scanned the auditorium:
"We should all unite and face the dangers and setbacks that lie ahead."
Wizards can only become strong if they are united.
Consistent purpose, open-mindedness, unbreakable intention, and determination will be our most powerful weapons.
"When you are confused, when you don't know what choice to make.
Please do not forget those fallen companions, do not forget their devotion for the truth..."
It didn't take long for Dumbledore to give a passionate talk.
The dinner officially began.
It's just compared to the previous noise.
This time the dinner was very quiet.
The entire auditorium was silent except for the clash of knives and forks.
Instead, the dance party seemed a little more cheerful.
Perhaps that's the only thing to be thankful about.
"You're so beautiful..."
Braun caressed Hermione's slender waist.
"You're handsome too, Braun...
Hermione leaned into Braun's ear.
The hot and humid air made Braun feel a little itchy in his ears.
