Chapter 1041 Strange Echo

It is a beautiful hillside, and you can see beautiful scenery from the hillside, but there is a tombstone next to a certain yellow ash tree on this hillside, marking that someone is buried here.

With a sound unique to disembodiment, a man in black appeared in front of the tomb out of thin air, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

"I'm not sure what flowers you like, but I guess you don't like roses, right?" Harry Potter said to the tombstone, and then placed the flower in front of it.

The name of Cedric Diggory is written on the tombstone. He was born in 1977 and died in 1995. He only lived in this world for 18 years.

"Your father left the Ministry of Magic. He went after Peter Pedro, your murderer." Harry whispered. "Some people believe that he carried one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, made by killing you.

I still can’t believe it because everything happened in front of me at that time, how could I not notice it?”

Of course no one answered, only the cry of turtle doves echoed on the hillside.

"I dreamed about you today. Your face was on Voldemort's body. He told me that I killed Quirrell and he used my hands." Harry put his hands in front of him again.

, they look very clean. "I don't know what happened at that time. The first time I met Quirrell, he started to smoke. I was shocked at the time. Later I found that attacking him like this was effective."

, so I pressed my hand on his face again, I didn’t want to kill him.”

Harry paused and said, "I want to get him seriously injured and then ask the professors to deal with it. I don't think it is happy to take away a person's life, but I have never thought that I killed a person and...

I feel guilty about this, I mean, it was caused by magic, I didn't mean to do it, but the actions these few nights are different, we are at war with the werewolves, and there will be blood when the time comes, and I can't stop it

When something happened, the only thing I could do was to prevent the wizarding world from being exposed. Kingsley believed that we could strengthen cooperation with the Muggle government, but we could not let the civilians know about the existence of wizards. They always thought that werewolves were legendary creatures. If they see

When werewolves transform, they will believe in the existence of magic and witchcraft. Maybe the medieval witch hunting movement will happen again. When I was young, I was always chased and beaten by my cousin and his friends. My mother gave me the magic

It can defeat Voldemort, but it has no effect on Muggles. I think Muggles can still pose a danger to young wizards. This is a dangerous idea. I think this is why the Sorting Hat almost sorted me into Slytherin.

"

Harry looked at Cedric helplessly with his lake-green eyes like Lily's.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why I'm here, I just thought..."

"You want to talk to someone."

A voice appeared behind Harry. He followed the voice and found that it was Neville. He was holding a hiking pole in his hand. Judging from the panting look on his face, he seemed to have walked here.

"Hi, Cedric." Neville greeted the tombstone like an old acquaintance, then sat down on the root of the tree, opened the kettle and drank some water.

"How did you..."

"I knew someone came here often, but I didn't expect it to be you, Harry." Neville gasped. "I thought Amos put those flowers."

"You come here often too?"

"Not often." Neville thought for a moment and said, "I'll come over and take a look when I'm passing by on foot."

"You're familiar with Hufflepuff?"

"I wanted to get into Hufflepuff, but no matter what I thought, the Sorting Hat still sorted me into Gryffindor. My situation is exactly the opposite of yours."

Harry was speechless for a moment, so he sat next to Neville and looked at the distant scenery with him.

"The moon will be full in a few days," Neville said. "These past few days would have been very sad."

"Why?"

"I took Lavender in for a while after she was bitten. Although she did not turn into a werewolf, she was very aggressive. Simon and the others took her away." Neville turned his attention to Harry. "I heard that he joined

Order of the Phoenix."

"That's what happened."

"What about you, why don't you join?"

"I am now an employee of the Ministry of Magic."

"The Order of the Phoenix doesn't always go against the Ministry of Magic, it's just that Fudge doesn't listen to others."

"Can we not talk about this topic?" Harry said coldly.

"Then what do you want to say?" Neville asked.

"How did you feel when you killed Nagini with the Sword of Gryffindor?"

Neville looked at Harry.

"Relief," Neville said as Harry looked away. "It's over."

"If you hadn't killed Nagini, do you think Voldemort would have come back?"

"We can't use the results to deal with things that haven't happened yet. You know Voldemort is a bad guy, would you use a time turner to travel to the past and kill him when he was a baby?"

"Uh..." Harry looked at Neville in surprise.

"Answer me, Harry, would you do that?"

"Well, maybe..." Harry stammered.

"You're going to kill a baby, what's the difference between what you're doing and Voldemort's?"

"Then I won't kill him."

"That's Voldemort. Why didn't you do anything even though you knew he would cause so many disasters?"

"You're the one who said there's no difference between killing babies and what Voldemort did!"

"But that baby is innocent, he didn't commit any crime."

"I'm confused." Harry pulled at his hair.

"Time travel doesn't actually change anything. Anything the traveler does just causes what they noticed before they traveled, just like you only noticed Sirius Black and Buckbeak when you rescued them.

Two, but they forgot to catch Peter Pedro. Even if you plug this loophole, new loopholes will appear. Without Peter Pedro, there will be Barty Crouch Jr. to let Voldemort

Resurrection, he used to be a Hufflepuff, and the situation is even worse when two Hufflepuffs kill each other."

"Oh." Harry suddenly realized.

"What were you talking about to Cedric just now?" Neville asked.

"How do you know this?" Harry asked in surprise.

"Professor Crocker, he used to work in the Department of Mysteries, specializing in the study of time travel. Later, all the time turners in the department broke down and he lost his job. He came to Hogwarts to apply for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

"Then why did he resign?"

"He also believed in the existence of a curse. In order to avoid something more terrible happening, he resigned after serving for one year."

Harry's expression became strange, "This curse hasn't been broken yet."

"Not only that, there are many people who are saying that the mysterious man will come back before he is defeated." Neville said seriously, "This is the result of our desperate efforts to inform the world."

"But that's the truth."

"Who can tell the difference between truth and rumors?" Neville raised his eyebrows. "In the year of the Chamber of Secrets incident, there were rumors that you were the heir of Slytherin. I also bought amulets, but those things were useless at all.

, everyone is afraid, and fear prevents people from making calm judgments. As I said before, you can't use the results to deal with things that haven't happened yet."

Harry thought for a moment and said gratefully, "Thank you, Neville, I feel much better."

"At Hogwarts, you can always get help when you ask for it." Neville said generously. "If you really can't find anyone to talk to, you can come to the greenhouse. I'm in charge of them now."

"Professor Sprout gave you her position. Where did she go?"

"I heard that she has been hunting Peter for a while." Neville stared at his toes. "Harry, let me ask you a question. If, I mean if, Professor Snape no longer loves your mother, what would you do?

think?"

Harry looked at Neville expressionlessly.

"My mother is already married." Harry said coldly, "Your question is very inappropriate, Neville, you can't use the results to deal with things that haven't happened yet. If my mother chooses Professor Snape, there will be no consequences."

After I was born and she was with Professor Snape after I was born, do you think she would sacrifice herself to protect me and leave a rebound spell on me?"

"I'm sorry, Harry."

"Professor Snape is an adult and he is free to choose who he loves."

"Don't you think it's because he loves her that he's on our side?"

Harry wiped his face.

"Many people don't know what he is thinking, including Dumbledore and Voldemort. Why do you suddenly ask about this?"

"It's nothing." Neville said in a panic, "I...I'm going to continue hiking. Do you want to come with me?"

"No……"

Neville seemed to have been waiting for Harry's words and ran away as fast as a rabbit.

"That's weird." Harry watched Neville's back disappear, and then looked at Cedric's tombstone.

"Are all Hufflepuffs that weird?" Harry asked.

Still no one answered, only strange bird calls echoed on the hillside.
