Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 416 The Great Cleanup of Slytherin Students! An Inspirational Opening Speech!

These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue.

The students in the auditorium were mostly shocked and gasped, as were some of the faculty and staff.

The stubborn pureblood snakes, whose thoughts had been exposed, turned pale with fright, as if all the color had been drained from their faces in an instant.

Dudley, seemingly oblivious to the reactions of the crowd, continued to utter startling remarks:

"I also know that your fathers must have obtained some information about Voldemort's whereabouts, which is why they dared to take the risk and prevent you from attending Hogwarts."

Upon hearing this, the stubborn pureblood snake, whose mentality was unstable, collapsed to the ground.

Now that they've said this out loud, are they going to get hit with Dudley's Avada Kedavra curse today?

They knew that no other professor, not even Headmaster Dumbledore, would do such a thing, but Dudley… well, that was hard to say.

"Don't worry, Slytherin students who are determined to fight Voldemort and the Death Eaters to the end, I won't take your lives, at least not now, but this is the last time I'll call you students."

Dudley's smile faded, and he looked at the 'late' Slytherin students, giving them an ultimatum: "Go to the corridor and make your decision!"

Those who are prepared to stand with the White Wizards and continue their studies at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, stand in the left column; those who are prepared to follow in the footsteps of their Death Eater fathers and abandon Hogwarts, stand in the right column.

You have three minutes. Do not make a choice; proceed according to the option on the right.

Upon hearing Dudley's decision, the group of pureblood snakes became even more panicked.

They stood there in a chaotic mess, unsure of what to do.

A minute later, he was still like a headless fly.

But one of the pure-blooded serpents, whose thinking had changed, raised his hand to speak:

"Assistant Dursley, how do you and Headmaster Dumbledore plan to treat our fathers if I choose the white wizard camp?"

"You are braver than them."

Dudley praised the pureblood snake, then replied, "As long as your fathers did not kill any white wizards or Muggles after this Voldemort chaos, and survived."

So, I will only strip them of their magic and magical powers, turning them into Muggle-like beings, without taking their lives.

This promise applies to all Death Eaters.

Upon hearing this promise, the pure-blooded snake that had asked the question lost its sparkle.

He and they weren't fools; they knew how difficult this request was to fulfill.

Back when Voldemort ruled the wizarding world...

Only the wealthy, high-status, and shrewd Malfoys could manage to respond to Voldemort and the Death Eaters' every request, but never actually resolve any issues, in addition to providing funds and the estate.

They took the two-faced approach to the extreme.

Now that Voldemort has suffered a severe defeat and his forces have shrunk considerably, it's no surprise that he won't allow the Death Eaters who have joined him to shirk their duties.

Seeing this, Dali offered a final, well-intentioned reminder:

"Instead of worrying that Dumbledore and I will take action against your fathers, you should think about whether your fathers will live long enough for Dumbledore and I to do so."

Making the right choice now can allow the so-called sacred twenty-eight families to leave behind more descendants.

If you decide to go back and repeat the same mistakes as your fathers, the very prospect of facing Voldemort, who is about to recruit you, could potentially separate you from your fathers by death.

That's all I have to say. You have thirty seconds left.

The time to make a choice is fast approaching.

In the end, even the pureblood snakes whose thinking had changed somewhat couldn't all stand on the left, let alone the stubborn pureblood snakes.

"In that case, those students who were standing on the left, please return to your seats in your respective colleges."

Dudley felt a pang of regret for the pureblood snakes whose thinking had changed but who were still burdened by their fathers.

For now, it's just a matter of regret. It's their own choice, and all that's left to do is see how things turn out, or whether Dali has a suitable opportunity to intervene.

"As for those little black wizards who are preparing to become Death Eaters, then return the magical knowledge that Hogwarts taught you!"

Dudley spoke again, and with a wave of his hand, created a magical light effect. In reality, he used a conceptual restoration spell to completely revert the magical knowledge that this group had learned at Hogwarts.

As the light faded, the stubborn pureblood snakes were heartbroken and couldn't help but wail, because they really couldn't remember any of the magical knowledge they had learned at Hogwarts.

"Alright, little black wizards, go home and howl! If we meet again, we'll be enemies!"

After Dudley finished speaking, he waved his hand again and used a conceptual restoration spell to fix the positions of the pure-blooded snakes who had failed to choose the White Wizard camp, sending them back to where they came from.

The Great Hall of Hogwarts has temporarily returned to silence.

Upon learning such significant news, everyone was deeply moved and unable to calm down.

Dali's words stirred up new waves of emotion among everyone:

"Voldemort's return and regrouping of the Death Eaters may seem like a bad thing, but there's a hidden side to it that's beneficial to us."

At the very least, Voldemort helped to sever a volatile and malignant element within the wizarding world.

Nowadays, those who are not intellectually competent at Hogwarts are extremely rare.

I know that if Voldemort gains more power in the future, some parents of Slytherin students will have wavering opinions, and it is also possible that some parents of students from other houses will have wavering will and stance.

If Voldemort were to return to power and consider practical matters, he might even recruit half-blood and Muggle dark wizards from the wizarding world.

At this turbulent time, we need to be more steadfast in our beliefs and enhance our capabilities.

I believe everyone already knows about the blessing bestowed by the founder of Hogwarts. The professors who had contributed to Hogwarts in the past were restored to their youth, and family members who had died unexpectedly in the past were also brought back to life.

Yesterday, Headmaster Dumbledore received a premonition that the white wizards and good Muggles who died at the hands of the two generations of Dark Lords and their minions would be resurrected, and informed the magic ministries of various countries to make arrangements for the aftermath.

Today, I have confirmed this news: the white wizards who died in battle, as well as the good Muggles who were murdered, have indeed been resurrected.

Based on this, we can deduce that the blessings bestowed by the founder of Hogwarts could benefit... the entire wizarding world!

The news that Dudley revealed was wizarding news that had not yet been publicly reported. Everyone present, whether professors or students, was greatly excited to hear Dudley's confirmation.

But Dudley didn't finish his sentence: "I'm not saying this to make everyone feel invincible and think that the White Wizard will definitely win, or that it doesn't matter if you die in battle, since you'll be resurrected later anyway."

I want to remind everyone that those who receive blessings are kind and courageous people.

You must first possess these qualities before you can gain the approval of the founder's spirit. Do not reverse cause and effect or put the cart before the horse.

If the black and white wizards were to wage war again in the future...

Dumbledore and I will only deal with powerful dark wizards of Voldemort's caliber. As for the rest of the dark wizards, we'll have to rely on everyone else, as well as the white wizards in the wizarding world, to handle them.

This is a test for everyone, and an essential path for everyone's growth and transformation.

I hope that everyone can remain steadfast in their beliefs and stances, strive to improve their strength and courage, and in the future, no matter how formidable and evil the opponent may be, be able to launch an effective counterattack based on their own conscience and prevail.

I also believe that if everyone can do what I've said, then even if we die unexpectedly in battle, the spirits of the founders will see us and cast a blessing spell to revive us.

So study hard! Strive hard! The future of the magical world is in our hands!
