Chapter 77 Prove Yourself! A Successful Speech!
Harry's magic is not strong enough yet, and the Stabilizing Charm cast without a wand cannot affect a large area and cannot cover many students.
Seeing this, Dudley immediately came to the rescue, casting a Stabilizing Charm. The powerful magic emanated from the Charm and mixed with the magic released by Harry, greatly expanding the range of its influence.
Wherever the magic passed, the excited young wizards from the four academies instantly felt calm and their emotions soothed.
But the Great Hall at Hogwarts was just too big; the four rows of tables were almost a hundred meters long, and the students were seated rather far apart.
With his current magical cultivation at the elite professor level, Dudley can cover such a large area of influence, but he will inevitably be somewhat powerless, and the speed at which the magic spreads will be relatively slow.
Upon discovering this situation, Dumbledore, who was behind Dudley and Harry, did not hesitate to lend a hand.
"calmly!"
Old Deng didn't use the Elder Wand; like Dudley, he simply extended his right index finger and pointed forward.
With each breath, an invisible magic swept across the entire area.
Everyone in the auditorium, whether professors, school staff, or students from the four colleges, instantly felt calmer and were able to face what was about to happen with a more rational attitude.
Seeing that the time was right, Harry, sitting on the stone platform, continued his speech:
"Although I am not, and do not want to be, a savior, Voldemort killed my parents and he is my mortal enemy. This is an unchangeable fact!"
My cousin and I will definitely wipe out Voldemort! This isn't for the safety of the wizarding world, it's purely to avenge my parents!
We are aware of this!
Harry spoke passionately about his truest thoughts.
After saying that, in order to prove his determination and to give the most powerful rebuttal to the rumor of being a 'deceitful fraudster', Harry pulled his holly wand from his robe sleeve pocket and pressed the tip of the wand against the area near his temple.
It released its magic, slowly pulling out a silver-white thread of memory.
"Cousin, help me!"
Harry, standing on the platform, turned to the side and looked down at Dudley, who was standing next to the stone platform.
Dali understood immediately, nodded slightly in response, and raised his right hand high, pointing to the ceiling of the auditorium.
"Clear water like a spring!"
As a spell was uttered, a large amount of clear water gushed from Dali's fingertips, suspended in the air, meandering and flowing, and quickly condensing into a huge water sphere.
"Memory manifests! Images appear!"
After conjuring the giant water sphere, Dudley cast two more spells on it.
This will temporarily give the water sphere a unique meditation basin effect.
Without a word, Harry flung the memory threads he had just pulled out into the floating water sphere above.
The next moment, fragments of Harry's birthday memories appeared through the water balloon.
Inside the Great Hall, the students and teachers of Hogwarts could clearly see the following scene:
Inside the dimly lit Gringotts underground vault.
Dudley's magic surged, and a vast expanse of golden magic rapidly spread, striking Voldemort, who was parasitizing the back of Quirrell's head.
Voldemort's movements suddenly froze, and his hideous, noseless face on the back of his head was gradually stained with gold. The tip of the wand that Quirrell held in his right hand slowly emitted a green glow.
Harry shouted "Power up!" and punched Voldemort's face with his right fist while grabbing Quirrell's right hand, which was holding his wand backwards, with his left.
Then, Dudley's Disarming Charm knocked Quirrell's wand away, and Quirrell's body, which was being parasitized by Voldemort, gradually turned to ashes upon Harry's touch.
……
The onlookers in the auditorium watched in utter shock and disbelief as the images of memory were displayed inside the water sphere.
For most young wizards, this was the first time they had seen Voldemort's terrifying appearance, and even more so, the first time they had witnessed such a thrilling and exciting battlefield scene.
Despite Harry's denials, most young wizards now firmly accept Harry as the savior.
Didn't you see Harry punch Voldemort into dust?
If this isn't the savior, then who is?
If it weren't for the final scene in the memory where Voldemort's main spirit self-destructed Quirrell's half-dead head and burst out dragging a garlic-scented headscarf, everyone would have thought that Dumbledore's previous announcement was false!
Around the Slytherin table, some Slytherin students had strange expressions, looking as if their worldview had been shattered.
Their pure-blood Death Eater parents had instilled in them the power of Voldemort since childhood, and they always believed that the so-called savior was a hoax and an illusion.
The reason the Dark Lord has remained hidden for ten years is that he is brewing some grand plan to stir up the world.
Now that the facts are before them, they realize that the rumors of the savior are only slightly false, but not entirely false!
The Hogwarts professors were also extremely surprised. They were amazed that the Savior truly lived up to his name, being only eleven years old and already possessing magic they had never seen before, defeating the wizard possessed by Voldemort.
The savior's older cousin is even more outrageous. Felix Flitwick, the Ravenclaw Headmaster and Charms Professor with goblin blood, even believes that eleven-year-old Dudley Dursley is already as powerful as him.
He had nothing more to teach such an outstanding student.
Dudley had no idea what Professor Flitwick, the former dueling champion, was thinking, and even if he did, he wouldn't take it seriously. Dudley's strength still had a lot of room for improvement; he could act arrogantly, but he must never be truly conceited.
Harry's speech was over; he had successfully proven himself to all the teachers and students of Hogwarts, just as he had planned.
As Harry used his wand to retrieve his memory threads and put them back into his mind, Dudley waved his hand to remove the floating water sphere, and everyone in the hall gradually recovered from their shock.
"Clap clap clap-"
It's unclear who started it, but thunderous applause quickly erupted in the auditorium.
Harry's face flushed with excitement. He bowed to the audience and stepped down the stone platform that Dudley had conjured for him.
Dudley tapped the floor lightly with his cane, and the stone platform, having fulfilled its purpose, immediately reverted to its original form as a four-legged stool.
Professor McGonagall, holding the Sorting Hat and rolling up the list of new students, stood on the other side of the stone platform. She watched Dudley's excellent Transfiguration and really wanted to give him some House points.
But then she thought, if she gave Dali extra points, the scores of all four colleges would increase, wouldn't that be the same as not giving any extra points?
So, she glanced at Dudley, who was being embraced by his cousin and sharing his joy of success, with a complicated look, and then, wearing the Sorting Hat, tried to leave from the side.
According to the procedure, after the Sorting Ceremony, she needed to return the Sorting Hat to the Principal's Office before going back to the Auditorium for a meal.
"Minerva, wait a minute!"
At this moment, Dumbledore stood up again. He first called to Professor McGonagall, who was about to leave, and then stretched out his hands to signal the students to be quiet.
Then he said...
