HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 356 Celebration and Graduation

Voldemort was defeated by Gloria and Harry. Hundreds of people in the auditorium heard the conversation between the three. The heir of Slytherin obtained the legendary Elder Wand.

In a short time, the two became famous and well-known overseas. Newspapers from many countries sent reporters hoping to interview them.

Van der Vries was acquitted because he was a spy and had concealed the fact that Harry was not dead in the Forbidden Forest. He also handed in a list of names of all the Death Eaters who followed Voldemort.

Hogwarts Castle was renovated by a group of wizards. As a school director, Gloria asked the Weasley twins to participate in the project and set up some interesting magical mechanisms and secret rooms in the castle.

Dumbledore has not fully recovered yet, but he is in good health, and everyone is very curious about the reason why he looks younger.

And Grindelwald, the wanted dark wizard who also helped in the war, disappeared again after the war.

There have been many speculations about the relationship between him and Dumbledore, but only the parties involved know the truth.

Professor McGonagall insisted that Dumbledore remain as Headmaster, and the Ministry of Magic agreed.

Because Apophis and Jörmungandr focused on Sirius and others, as well as the students of the school on the battlefield, no students in Hogwarts suffered casualties.

All wizards in Britain began to hold wild celebrations, even more lively than in 1981.

Ordinary Muggles often hear strange people muttering:

"The mysterious man is dead, completely dead!"

"Hundreds of people watched him die."

"Say his name... Voldemort, oh - no one will bother us."

"Gloria Slytherin."

"Harry Potter."

"In the Great Hall at Hogwarts."

These guys in long robes and pointed hats looked very strange, and what they said made them seem even crazier.

In any case, the celebration of the wizarding world lasted for more than a month.

After Hogwarts was repaired, students continued to attend classes, and the wizarding exams for fifth and seventh year students were delayed by two weeks.

Before the exam, Gloria and Draco went to visit Professor Snape. Headmaster Dumbledore personally cleared his name, saying that the battle in the Astronomy Tower was planned in advance and that Snape had never betrayed him.

He is now recovering in St. Mungo's Hospital.

It is said that when Harry went to visit, the scene was very awkward. Snape simply closed his eyes and refused to look at him, but Harry insisted on staying for more than ten minutes before leaving.

Time passed, and at the end of June, all students finished their exams.

Before graduation, the auditorium held the end-of-year party as usual.

Everyone had a bright smile on their face, and almost all the teachers and students in the school received invitations to Gloria and Draco's engagement party.

The location is at Malfoy Manor.

At the dinner table, the seventh-year students were discussing their future careers, and most chose to join the Ministry of Magic.

Draco's heart and eyes were filled with Gloria.

Now his parents, as well as Sirius and Tonks, are preparing for the engagement party.

Gloria asked, "How are the engagement party preparations going?"

"Everything went smoothly, but there were so many people participating that the manor's living room couldn't accommodate so many people, so we had to build a new venue."

Draco was watching all of this.

The time is almost up, and Dumbledore, who has returned to his youthful state, is handsome and charming, and many students talk about it with relish.

He stood on the stage, his appearance had changed, but his behavior was still the same as before.

As Dumbledore spread his arms, the hall gradually fell silent.

"A lot has happened this year. The two days of battle in early May are enough for everyone to remember for a lifetime. You are so brave that you took the initiative to stand up in a critical moment to defend Hogwarts."

The students who had participated in the battle held their chests high and were very proud of it.

"It's understandable that wizards pursue power, but I want to remind them not to lose their original intentions in the pursuit of power. Tom Riddle is a powerful example."

"I hope that after this war, you will understand how precious it is to have loving people around you. Love is so great that it can pull people trapped in darkness out of the quagmire, and it can also give people supreme courage and even perform miracles."

"Be a compassionate person, be a broad-minded person. You are still young and have infinite possibilities in the future. Enjoy the beauty of life."

After Dumbledore finished speaking, he walked back to the staff table. Warm applause broke out in the auditorium, and some people couldn't help but cheer loudly.

Snape had just recovered from his illness recently. He was sitting at the dining table and clapping with a cold face as usual, then quickly put his hands down.

He didn't want to see that annoying face at the Gryffindor table, luckily the boy had graduated.

"Look at Professor Snape's face. I bet he never wants to see Potter again." Draco laughed softly, "He won't give all his life's memories to Potter, will he?"

"I think the important ones were picked out and given to them." Gloria didn't mention the dispute between Snape and Harry's mother to save some face for the professor.

The party lasted until the early morning, and Professor McGonagall could no longer bear it and sent the students back to the common room.

Back in their respective college lounges, everyone was still celebrating.

Gloria and Draco sneaked to the Astronomy Tower, the last time they would be there as students.

"In four days, we will be officially engaged." Draco held her and looked at the night sky together.

Gloria said, "Yes, once the engagement is over, we can start the Magical Alliance business."

"What about marriage?" Draco asked, "Have you thought of a specific date for the wedding?"

Gloria raised her head and stroked his face with her hand. "Of course, on your birthday next year, as I said before, the engagement will be at Malfoy Manor, and the wedding will be at Slytherin Manor."

The boy who had a bit of baby fat when I first met him now has a tall and straight figure, his facial features have lost their childishness, and he has become more handsome.

Because my hair was burned during the battle, I now have short hair.

Gloria is fair and beautiful, and her exquisite beauty makes many young boys blush. Of course, Draco will severely punish anyone who dares to covet her.

"Once the engagement is over, we should reveal our identities," Draco whispered. "Ever since word got out that Grindelwald showed up at Hogwarts, some people have guessed that you are the founder of the Magical Alliance."

After all, Newt Scamander's new book introduces the numerous extinct creatures in the vicinity of her estate.

In the past, they only thought that there was a powerful hidden spell in Slytherin Manor that allowed those creatures to survive. Now, in conjunction with the new world that Grindelwald mentioned, more and more people have linked the two together.

Few people had time to study this before Voldemort rose again, but that was no longer the case.

Gloria stroked the ring on Draco's left middle finger. She would change it to a better-looking one when they got engaged. "I thought there would be such a day, so I want to be the new owner of the Elder Wand."

Now, she has the aura of justice for defeating Voldemort, and is the owner of the most powerful wand in the world, in addition to her father's self-sacrifice.

The name Gloria Slytherin has absolutely nothing to do with evil.
