Chapter 352 The professors are in position! Under the Dark Mark, Voldemort is resurrected!
Dudley's guiding principle in life is to speak frankly whenever possible, to avoid misunderstanding others, and even more importantly, to avoid being misunderstood by others.
Of course, this set of life principles is not applicable when facing pure enemies or unrelated outsiders.
He knew that Snape had no one else he wanted to resurrect besides Aunt Lily.
He just wanted to use this opportunity to get things straight and prevent Harry from worrying about how to face Snape in the future.
The enemy who indirectly caused the deaths of his parents made a crucial effort to bring them back to life.
This kind of situation is bound to cause confusion and bewilderment for a twelve-year-old.
Even if this child was raised by Dudley through his own teachings, he was still bound to be like everyone else.
Dudley couldn't let Harry's emotions grow stronger. After Aunt Lily and Uncle James were resurrected, they discussed the matter and instilled their ideas in Harry, making Harry even more conflicted.
So let's talk things out and sort out our grievances before resurrecting Aunt Lily and Uncle James.
In addition, Dudley held back his words in front of everyone, both to preserve the privacy of Harry's family and to save face for Snape.
Snape's affection for Harry stemmed entirely from his Aunt Lily.
Aunt Lily died, and it was out of love and guilt for her that Snape, though cold on the outside, was warm on the inside and secretly protected Harry.
Once Aunt Lily is resurrected, Snape's love will have a place to rest. Why would he still wholeheartedly protect the descendant of a rival who once bullied him and stole his only true love?
Except for his eyes, Harry looks remarkably like Uncle James!
And Dudley's emerald green eyes, just like Aunt Lily's, were transformed into a golden brown, exactly like Uncle James', by the glasses he modified.
Dudley's true thoughts were unknown to others, but what he just said was enough to show his stance and intentions.
After hearing this, Snape stopped claiming that the creation of the Soul-Soothing Potion was not his achievement and instead fell into silent contemplation.
Harry, who had already boarded the flying carpet, looked at Dudley with gratitude, his troubled expression easing somewhat.
Dudley nodded slightly to his cousin, then boarded the flying carpet and turned to the professors still in the principal's office, saying:
"We can think about the resurrection later. Now, if you want to witness Voldemort's destruction, hurry up and use your methods to get to the playground!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dudley used his magic to propel the flying carpet, carrying Harry, Dumbledore, Sirius Black, and Lupin out of the headmaster's office through the window and heading straight for the huge Dark Mark and the Four Beasts Mark on the playground.
The professors in the principal's office also suddenly realized what was happening and began to use various methods.
Professor Flitwick activated the flying boots that Dudley had given him as a Christmas gift, and he soared into the air, also rushing out of the principal's office window.
Professor McGonagall used Transfiguration to condense the air into steps, creating a staircase that led from the principal's office window on the eighth floor to the ground outside.
Professor Sprout flung out plant seeds and used a growth charm to make them sprout into vines, which then formed a vine railing around the stairs that Professor McGonagall had conjured.
The two older female professors stepped onto the stairs together and slowly walked down.
Professor McGonagall, who is a little lion at heart and usually follows the rules, is overjoyed to finally have the opportunity to openly experience what it's like to go against the grain.
Professor Sprout was easygoing and walked the elevated stairs as if it were just a normal walk, maintaining a peaceful state of mind.
Professor Slughorn, who was lagging behind, seemed to have something on his mind. He patted the dazed Snape on the shoulder and, without much effort, simply used the vine staircase created by Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout to go down as well.
Voldemort, also known as Tom Riddle, was, after all, his prized student whom Professor Slughorn had initially chosen. Professor Slughorn was unwilling to see things develop to this point.
After being slapped by Professor Slughorn, Snape stopped being dazed. He focused his mind briefly, then used the Smoke Flight Charm, transforming into a cloud of black smoke and quickly flying out of the window.
He directly surpassed the three professors who were walking up the stairs.
Professor McGonagall was displeased by this and waved her wand, turning the steps beneath her feet into a giant griffin large enough to carry the two of them in flight.
He carried himself and Professor Sprout and chased after the black smoke that Snape had turned into.
Professor Slughorn was tricked; the steps beneath his feet disappeared, and he narrowly escaped falling.
He quickly cast a spell, turning the vines left behind by Professor Sprout into an extremely long snake, which used its enormous head to gently lift him to the ground.
……
Moments later, in the Hogwarts Playground, beneath the massive Dark Mark.
Dudley, Harry, Dumbledore, and a host of professors took their places one after another.
Even Hagrid, who was on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, was summoned by Dudley using a voice call from the Mirror Mark sign.
Hagrid arrived riding the giant fire-breathing dragon Norbert, and upon meeting him, Harry handed him two resurrected dormouses.
When Hagrid saw the two dormice, his beady eyes widened instantly.
He knew every animal he had ever owned by heart and could not mistake any of them. He recognized them at a glance as his two beloved pets, the two dormice that had died tragically in the Gringotts vault.
Seeing Hagrid's shock and confusion, Harry quickly explained to him.
Dumbledore also waved the Elder Wand, casting a counter-curse to the Oblivion Curse, helping Hagrid regain the memories of Ecclesia that had been erased in the Forbidden Forest.
"Everyone, step back! The moment of witnessing another miracle is about to begin!"
Dudley led Harry and Dumbledore to the very bottom of the giant Dark Mark.
Today was a rare sunny day, and around 2 PM was the time when the sun was at its strongest. The shadow cast by the Black Magic Mark shifted to another location under the sunlight.
Here, the light shines brightly.
The professors present lined up on either side of Dudley and the others, their attention highly focused.
Having figured things out, Hagrid held two dormouses in his hands, comforting the dragon Norbert who was squatting nearby, and prepared to watch the show.
Not far away, on the fifth floor of Hogwarts Castle, behind a corridor window, a dazed and confused figure appeared.
It was none other than Cybill Trelawney, the Hogwarts Divination professor.
She was holding a bottle of sherry, trembling as she drank, her hazy eyes peering through the window at the scene on the playground, seemingly unintentionally.
At this moment, Dudley had already used the reverse of the Demention Curse to retrieve a fragment of Voldemort's soul, which was driven solely by instinct, from the Demention Space within his body, and then firmly bound it with a Soul Chain created by the Soul Binding Curse.
"Restored! Soul fully restored, body fully restored, all memories of the main soul and its sub-souls preserved, magical cultivation restored to its weakest state in the past!"
Conceptual Repair Spell activated.
Based on this fragment of soul, Voldemort's fragmented souls broke through the air and arrived one by one.
The fragments of Voldemort's body that were blasted into the ruins of the Potter family have long since turned into clods of earth or other things, and they have all broken through the air and returned to become fresh flesh and blood bodies.
