Hogwarts Lion Girl

Voldemort said with a hint of mockery: "Didn't you learn this in school? Before a duel, you need to salute first!"

He bent down slightly and demonstrated a movement, as if he was teaching a student who didn't know the rules.

Filled with anger and humiliation, Harry still hesitantly bent down and prepared to salute.

However, just as he bent down, a green light flashed, and Voldemort's spell hit his chest without warning.

Harry groaned, as if he was hit by a running rhinoceros. His body flew backwards uncontrollably and fell heavily on the hard tombstone.

He struggled to stand up, but felt a sharp pain in his chest and a fishy-sweet taste in his throat.

Voldemort walked slowly in front of him, looking down at him with a teasing smile on his face.

"Oh, sorry," he said in a false tone, "I didn't expect you to be so slow to react."

Harry gritted his teeth, endured the pain, got up from the ground, and glared at Voldemort angrily.

"...Damn it." He cursed under his breath and tightened his grip on the wand in his hand.

Harry roared and rushed towards Voldemort desperately, pointing the wand in his hand at his chest. A red light whizzed out along with the "Expelliarmus" spell.

A trace of contempt flashed in Voldemort's eyes. He waved his wand lightly, and a green light flew straight towards Harry, muttering: "Avada Kedavra!"

The two spells met in the air, bursting out a dazzling light, the red and green light intertwined to form a dazzling golden beam that enveloped Harry and Voldemort.

The golden light beam gradually shrank and finally converged at the tips of the two wands, connecting them firmly together.

Harry felt a huge force coming from the wand, almost knocking the wand out of his hand.

He gritted his teeth and tried his best to control the wand and not let it slip out of his hand.

At this moment, he was surprised to find that several transparent shadows appeared in the beam of light at the connection of the wands.

They are erratic and seem to disappear at any time.

I tried hard to open my eyes wide, trying to see the true faces of these shadows.

In the shadows, he saw a man with messy black hair and round-frame glasses, and a red-haired woman with gentle eyes.

It was his parents, James and Lily.

The transparent shadow gradually became clear, and Lily's gentle face appeared in front of Harry. She gently hugged Harry, as if comforting a frightened child.

James smiled with relief and touched Harry's head lovingly, as if encouraging him to face everything bravely.

Although it was just an illusory soul, Harry truly felt the warmth and love of his parents, just like the warm sun in winter, dispelling the fear and coldness in his heart.

With a trembling voice, he called softly: "Dad, Mom..."

James looked at Harry and said softly, "My dear, although I really want to stay with you for a while, the current situation does not allow it."

Lily gently stroked Harry's cheek and said softly: "Mom wants to tell you that we have always loved you."

James said firmly, "We will buy you some time later. You must return to the Portkey as soon as possible."

Lily added: "It's that trophy, remember to bring that child."

James asked solemnly, "Are you ready?"

Lily encouraged gently, "Go, my child."

Harry felt a surge of power coming over him, and he swung his wand aside, breaking the connection with Voldemort's wand.

The souls of James and Lily, as well as several other illusory figures, rushed towards Voldemort with anger and sadness, briefly shrouding him in confusion.

Voldemort waved his arms angrily, trying to break free from the entanglement of souls, but he was unable to break free completely for a while.

Harry seized the opportunity and rushed to the nearby cemetery, grabbing the portkey on the ground.

Then he turned and ran towards Cedric, kneeling beside him and picking him up with all his strength.

Amid Voldemort's deafening roar, the portkey emitted a dazzling white light, enveloping Harry and Cedric and disappearing into the night sky, leaving behind only the furious Voldemort and a devastated cemetery.

The night air smelled of grass and earth, Hogwarts Castle stood majestically in the night, and the stars dotted the deep blue velvety night sky.

Suddenly, a dazzling white light exploded in the open space, followed by a dizzying spin, and two figures fell awkwardly onto the soft grass.

Harry felt sick and his stomach churned.

He struggled to sit up and shook his head hard, trying to wake himself up.

After a brief silence, the crowd around them burst into deafening cheers. They rushed to the center of the venue and surrounded Harry and Cedric.

There were all kinds of voices in the crowd. Some were excitedly shouting Harry and Cedric's names, some were excitedly discussing the progress of the game, and some were curiously asking about the result of the game.

Harry looked around blankly. The cheers of the crowd came like a tide, wave after wave, almost drowning Harry.

He felt a little suffocated and wanted to escape from this noisy environment.

Just then, Harry saw Salina's anxious face.

Salina ignored the noise around her and walked straight to Cedric and squatted down.

Her eyes were fixed on Cedric, full of worry and concern.

When Harry saw Salina, he felt mixed emotions.

He didn't know how to face her, how to explain to her what had happened to Cedric.

"Sorry..." Harry's voice was low and hoarse, "It's all my fault. Cedric...he was hit by Voldemort's killing curse." Harry said this with difficulty, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.

As soon as Harry finished speaking, the cheers around him stopped abruptly.

The crowd suddenly fell silent, and one could hear a pin drop.

When the professors who were nearby heard this, their faces turned pale.

Their eyes widened in disbelief and they exclaimed in low voices.

"What? What's going on?"

"What did he just say?"

"Voldemort?! Killing Curse??!"

Sharina ignored the discussions around her, she just reached out and began to unbutton Cedric's shirt.

But because she was in a hurry, her movements were a little flustered and she couldn't unbutton a button for a long time.

"Salina..." Harry looked at her doubtfully and asked hesitantly, "What are you doing?"

Salina became a little anxious, so she didn't even bother unbuttoning her clothes and just pulled open her collar.

Several buttons broke apart as Salina pulled them, and were ejected into the air. After drawing a few parabolas in the air, they fell to the ground, rolled into the crowd, and disappeared.

This sudden action immediately attracted everyone's attention. Many people gasped and looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.

Some senior students consciously put their hands up to cover the eyes of the younger students, not wanting them to see this inappropriate scene for children.

The professors looked at each other and sighed helplessly: "Young people nowadays..."

Salina finally saw the amulet on Cedric's chest.

The amulet has become dull and although it has not broken yet, it is already covered with cracks and is obviously scrapped.

There was a red and purple mark on the fair skin of Cedric's chest, probably caused by the powerful impact of Voldemort's Killing Curse.

Salina reached out and touched it, and was about to get closer to take a closer look, but suddenly a hand blocked her eyes.

"There are so many people here... ahem... I won't stop you from doing anything when you go back."
