Harry Potter: Glory Bows to Me

On the last day of the holiday, Amanta packed her luggage and filled a large box with all kinds of delicious desserts, cakes, cookies and cheese fudge made by the house-elves. She carried the owl cage and prepared to return to Hogwarts to continue her seven-year study career.

Amanta walked in front, carrying the cage that contained Bertha.

The Christmas holiday ended just like that, and she felt that time had passed so quickly.

"It's been a busy holiday... Let me count what we've done during this time - we sent Norma away, learned dancing, went to Diagon Alley, attended a ball, and caught a prisoner who escaped from Azkaban... By the way, what did you get out of the lottery?"

She suddenly remembered that they were opening the colorful fireworks together, and looked back at Harry and Draco behind her.

"I found a sweater that's exactly the style and color I've always wanted!" Harry said excitedly, "I plan to wear it to our SO group party and show it to Cedric."

"I opened a book about the history of magic," Draco said. "Although I already have many books like this, the cover of this book is very special. It is made of dragon skin. I also opened a model of the Golden Snitch."

He held up the leather satchel he was carrying to show them that he had hung the tiny model of the Snitch on the zipper ring.

"It looks good," Amanta praised.

"I can't really tell... whether I want to stay in Hogwarts or here." Harry said, dragging his suitcase and walking behind them.

"Don't worry, you are always welcome at Malfoy Manor." Draco smiled.

After waving goodbye to Lady Narcissa, Amanta, Draco and Harry got back on the Thestral carriage they had come in.

As soon as they arrived at Hogwarts and stepped off the carriage, they saw Cedric and Neville standing in the square, chatting and waiting for them.

Harry ran towards them excitedly, a happy smile on his face.

Amanta couldn't help but sigh with emotion. After spending an unforgettable holiday at Malfoy Manor, they finally returned to Hogwarts.

When Cedric and Neville saw Harry, they quickly came over and hugged him tightly, as if celebrating their reunion.

"Harry, Amanta, Draco, I'm glad you're all safe - we all heard about what happened at Malfoy Manor," Cedric said, genuine concern in his voice.

"Thank you, Cedric. It's nice to see you again, too," Harry Potter replied.

Neville also came forward, his eyes full of worry and concern.

"Um... I saw the news in the Daily Prophet. It was Amanta who found the Death Eater Barty Jr. at the banquet? This matter has been widely reported..."

"it's me."

Amanta admitted it openly.

Cedric asked curiously, "So...what happened that day, at that banquet?"

Amanta and Harry recounted what happened that day to Cedric and Neville one after another, while Draco frowned and added some key points.

Amanta said: "I accidentally saw little Barty in the garden..."

"..."

"Suddenly, a lot of Thestrals flew over from the sky..." said Harry.

"..."

"Luckily Draco has that entry and exit register..."

"..."

It took them a while to explain what had happened that day.

Neville couldn't help but sigh: "Oh my God... It's so complicated. I'm almost confused."

After basically explaining what happened that day to them, Amanta asked, "By the way, what exactly did the newspaper say?"

She was a little curious about it.

During the last few days at Malfoy Manor, she almost forgot about all these things, and in the days after Christmas, they were so busy catching up on their homework that they had no time to read the Daily Prophet.

"It's probably mainly about introducing the truth behind Barty Jr.'s resurrection. They always like to do this kind of gimmick. As for you, Amanta, they call you 'Detective', but..."

Cedric pointed to the group of Hufflepuff students who were watching them and whispering not far away.

"The newspapers didn't report this incident clearly. They have made up several versions. The most outrageous version I've heard is about the power struggle between two generations of Dark Lords. Another version is that you are actually the illegitimate daughter of the Longbottom family, and this action is to avenge the grudges of the past..."

Speaking of Neville, Barty Jr. was one of the people who tortured his parents and drove them insane.

Neville smiled shyly at them.

"I... I don't know how to put it." He rubbed his nose. "Anyway, you did a great job, great! Although everyone's attention is almost all on how Barty escaped from prison-"

Harry patted his shoulder in understanding.

"Neville, I understand how you feel. Death Eaters like Barty Jr. should be locked up in Azkaban until they die, living a desperate and miserable life."

He spoke through gritted teeth, clearly understanding what Neville had been through.

Neville seemed taken aback by his words.

"I...well, you're right, but compared to that, I hope my parents can go back to the way they were before..."

Amanta patted their shoulders together and said, "Whoever commits a crime will naturally be dealt with by the Aurors. What we need to worry about right now is probably only the History of Magic homework. Neville, have you copied all of it? And your Potions homework... let me see it?"

She spoke in a light tone.

This is the first day back at school, and we can't keep focusing on such bitter and vengeful topics.

After all, the things they said cannot be rushed.

……

After they had attended classes at Hogwarts for a week, a piece of news quickly spread throughout the morning hall like an explosion.

That is - in the Daily Prophet of that day, the Auror Office finally disclosed the details of Barty Jr.'s prison escape.

As soon as the news came out, accusations against Azkaban and the Ministry of Magic came flooding in.

After the last incident at Hogwarts, many people began to question whether the security conditions at Hogwarts, which was previously known as the safest place in the world, were up to par.

Now the authority of Azkaban, known as the most secure prison in the world, has also been challenged.

But before, only the wizards who were parents were concerned. Now almost everyone began to doubt the Ministry of Magic's way of doing things and the reliability of Azkaban.

Fudge gave a special speech to stabilize the hearts of the wizards.

He reiterated many times in it: "Azkaban is absolutely solid and unbreakable. After consultation with Gringotts, we will borrow their waterfall that can wash away all spells and magic. The Ministry of Magic has also sent more people. So, wizards, you can rest assured that any prisoner sent to Azkaban will never appear anywhere outside before the end of his sentence."

The winter wind in the square gently blew their hair, bringing a fresh and slightly cool breath. They stood there, feeling the magic and warmth of Hogwarts.

This is their home, where they grew up, and their permanent sanctuary.

"Come on, guys, let's go to the hall together." Cedric said. He turned and led them to the hall of Hogwarts. Harry Potter and Neville followed behind him, their steps full of determination and confidence. They knew that no matter how many challenges and difficulties there were ahead, they would face them together and overcome them together.

The hall was bustling with students talking to each other. When Harry Potter, Cedric and Neville walked into the hall, everyone's eyes were on them. Some people showed concern, while others looked at them curiously. Harry Potter felt everyone's gaze, but he did not back down. He knew that he had to be strong, for himself and for all those who cared about him.
