Chapter 77: Prove Yourself! A Successful Speech!

Harry's current magic power was not strong enough. The Calm Mind Spell he cast without a wand could not cover a large area, and it couldn't affect many students.

Seeing this, Dudley immediately lent a hand. He also extended his hand to cast the Calm Mind Spell. His powerful magic power spread out and mixed with Harry's released magic power, greatly expanding the influence range of the Calm Mind Spell.

Wherever the magic power passed, the excited wizards from the four houses suddenly felt their minds calm down and their emotions settle.

However, the Great Hall of Hogwarts was really huge. The four rows of dining tables were almost a hundred meters long, and the students were seated quite dispersedly.

Dudley's current magic power is at the elite professor level. He could cover such a large area with the spell, but it was a bit strenuous. As the magic power spread further, its speed slowed down.

Noticing this situation, Dumbledore, who was standing behind Dudley and Harry, didn't hesitate to help as well.

Calm Mind!

The old man didn't use the Elder Wand. Just like Dudley, he pointed his right index finger forward.

In the blink of an eye, the invisible magic power swept across the entire hall.

Everyone in the Great Hall, whether they were professors, school staff, or students from the four houses, instantly felt their minds calm down. They were able to face what was going to happen next with a more rational attitude.

Seeing that the time was right, Harry on the podium continued his speech:

"Although I'm not, and I don't want to be, the so - called the Savior, Voldemort killed my parents. He's my mortal enemy, and this is an unchangeable fact!

My cousin and I will definitely wipe out Voldemort completely; this isn't for the safety of the wizarding world; it's purely to avenge my parents!

We have this determination!"

Harry passionately expressed his most sincere thoughts.

After that, to prove his determination and to strongly refute the rumor that he was a 'fraud', Harry took out his Holly wand from the sleeve of his robe and pressed the tip of the wand against the area near his temple.

He released his magic power, then slowly pulled out a silvery memory threads.

"Cousin, help me!"

Harry on the podium leaned over and said to Dudley who was standing beside the podium.

Dudley instantly understood. He immediately nodded slightly in response and raised his right hand high, pointing it at the ceiling of the hall.

Aqua Eructo

As he uttered the incantation, a large amount of clear water gushed out from Dudley's fingertips. It suspended in the air, meandered, and quickly condensed into a huge water ball.

Reveal Memories! Present the Scenes!

After creating the large water ball, Dudley cast two more magic on it.

This would make the water ball temporarily have an alternative Pensieve effect.

Without hesitation, Harry directly threw the memory threads he had just pulled out into the floating water ball above.

In the next instant, some of Harry's memories from his birthday were presented through the water ball.

In the Great Hall, the teachers and students of Hogwarts could clearly see such a scene:

In the dim Gringotts underground vaults.

Dudley's magic power eruption. The majestic golden magic power spread out rapidly and attacked Voldemort who was parasitizing on the back of Quirrell's head.

Voldemort's movements suddenly stiffened. The hideous, noseless face on the back of his head was gradually dyed with gold, and the tip of the wand held in Quirrell's right hand began to emit a greenish glow.

Meanwhile, Harry shouted that he was gaining more power. He punched Voldemort's grotesque face with his right fist and grabbed Quirrell's right hand holding the wand with his left.

Then, the Disarming Charm cast by Dudley sent Quirrell's wand flying. And Quirrell's body, which was possessed by Voldemort, gradually turned to ashes at Harry's touch.

...

The onlookers in the Great Hall watched the memory scene presented in the water ball in great shock and awe.

Most wizards were seeing Voldemort's terrifying appearance for the first time, and were witnessing such a thrilling battle scene for the first time as well.

Although Harry denied it, most wizards now firmly recognized him as the Savior.

Didn't they see Harry punch Voldemort until his body turned into ashes?

If he wasn't the Savior, who could be?

If it weren't for the end of the memory scene, when Voldemort's main soul made Quirrell's half - broken head explode and emerged with the garlic - scented turban, everyone would have thought the information previously made public by Dumbledore was false!

Near the Slytherin table, some Slytherin students looked strange, as if their worldviews had been shattered into pieces.

Their pure - blood Death Eaters parents always believed that the so - called Savior was just a hoax and an illusion. They thought the Dark Lord (Voldemort) had been lying low for ten years to concoct some grand plan to disrupt the world.

Now, the truth was right in front of them. They found that the rumors about the Savior were only slightly inaccurate, but essentially true.

The professors at Hogwarts were also extremely surprised. They were astonished that the Savior truly lived up to his fame. At only eleven years old, Harry could master magic they had never seen before and defeat the wizard possessed by Voldemort.

Harry's older cousin was even more astonishing. Professor Flitwick (Filius Flitwick), the Charms professor with goblin bloodline and the head of Ravenclaw, even believed that the strength of eleven - year - old Dudley Dursley was on par with his.

He had nothing left to teach such an excellent student.

Dudley didn't know what Professor Flitwick, a former dueling champion, was thinking. Even if he did, he wouldn't take it seriously. He still had plenty of room for growth. He could act haughtily, but he shouldn't be truly arrogant.

Harry successfully proved himself to all the teachers and students at Hogwarts as he planned.

As Harry retrieved his memory threads with his wand and put them back into his mind, Dudley waved his hand to dispel the floating water ball. Everyone in the Great Hall slowly came out of the shock.

"Clap, clap, clap, clap..."

Someone started it, and thunderous applause quickly filled the Great Hall.

Harry's face turned red with excitement. He bowed to the audience below and walked down the steps of the stone platform that Dudley had conjured for him.

Dudley gently tapped the floor with his staff, and the stone platform that had fulfilled its mission immediately turned back into a four - legged stool.

Professor McGonagall, holding the Sorting Hat and rolling up the list of first - years, had been standing on the other side of the stone platform. She watched Dudley perform an excellent transfiguration spell and really wanted to add some house points for him.

But then she thought, if she added points for Dudley, the points of all four houses would increase. Wouldn't it be the same as not adding points?

So, she just gave Dudley, who was being hugged by his cousin and sharing the joy of success, a complex look. Then, with the Sorting Hat in hand, she tried to leave from the side.

According to the procedure, after the Sorting Ceremony, she needed to return the Sorting Hat to the headmaster's office and then go back to the Great Hall for dinner.

"Minerva, wait a moment!"

At this time, Dumbledore stood up again. First, he called out to Professor McGonagall who was about to leave. Then he stretched out his hands, signaling the students to quiet down.

After that, he said...
