The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 544 Neville’s Revenge

Neville has always been an inconspicuous existence.

It's like this at home, it's like this at school, and it's naturally the same this time when we follow Ron and the others to the Ministry of Magic to rescue Harry.

He is like the toad he raised named Laifu. As long as others don't pay attention, he will disappear.

This was actually something he did on purpose.

Because he knows very well that everyone doesn't like him very much.

After all, he is fat, ugly, crying, and cowardly.

Especially the crybabies.

This shortcoming lasted throughout his short life.

In his memory, he has been crying since his parents were tortured and went crazy.

During this period, his grandmother scolded him harshly, his relatives looked down on him, and his classmates also laughed at him.

Even he hated himself for being such a crybaby.

But he couldn't suppress his desire to cry.

Just like this moment.

Looking at the crazy woman not far away, Bellatrix who tortured his parents crazy was pushed to the ground.

Neville did not roar and cheer with excitement like his classmates.

Instead, he secretly wiped away his tears.

In order not to let his classmates find out, he even hid in a corner.

He was terrified.

No one knew that in the years after his parents went mad, he had dreamed of Bellatrix countless times.

In the dream, this woman transformed into various terrifying monsters, torturing his parents hysterically.

He could even hear his parents screaming.

It was the same weird noise that would come out of his mother's mouth every time he visited her at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies.

If Neville had never seen the real Bellatrix, the Boggart would probably have turned into Bellatrix's twisted form when Professor Lupine taught them the lesson.

At this moment, the dream came into reality.

Bellatrix truly appeared before him in this terrifying posture.

Neville has been ruled by nightmares for so long that when he faced Bellatrix for the first time, what arose in his heart was not the anger that everyone expected, but fear.

He almost instinctively hid in a corner where he felt safe, covering his head and crying silently.

But at this moment, a big hand patted his shoulder.

Neville almost screamed at the sudden contact.

He raised his head stiffly, and what caught his eye was Link's handsome face with a slight smile.

Neville admired Link immensely.

Because Neville knew very well that Link's past situation was almost the same as his, or even worse.

They are all cowardly and stupid.

But this kind of Link slowly grew step by step under his gaze, and finally grew into the towering tree that can now protect everyone from the wind and rain!

In fact, Neville, like many Slytherins, believed that the most suitable house for Link was not Hufflepuff, but Slytherin.

Because Link perfectly fulfilled a motto of Salazar Slytherin in "Hogwarts: A History of the School" - I come from the mire!

Painful experiences and your own shortcomings are like a quagmire that tightly binds you to your pain.

Ordinary people have no ability to struggle out of this quagmire.

Even though they all know what to do to make themselves better.

It can be seen that the unity of knowledge and action is something that only a very few people can achieve.

Just like him Neville.

He has heard similar principles for more than ten years, but how much has this improved his current situation?

Link is different.

Link actually crawled out of the mire, stood on the dry shore, and stretched out his clean palms in an attempt to save those who were still imprisoned in the mire.

It was precisely because he had been trapped in the quagmire for so long that Neville understood how great a person like Link was when he walked out!

The noble will always be noble!

And Link is the real noble one!

It is precisely because of this that when Neville discovered that the person patting him on the shoulder was Link, Neville stopped crying almost instinctively, struggled to wipe away the remaining tears on his cheeks, and said tremblingly:

"Link, what's wrong?"

Looking at Neville's red and swollen eyes, Link pursed his lips and said in as gentle a tone as possible:

"Our execution has come to an end. As one of the final touches, I feel that there is a prisoner that only you are qualified to execute."

"Me, me?" Neville was startled and instinctively refused, "No...I can't do it, I can't do it, I..."

Neville got stuck mid-sentence.

Because Link had already pointed to his side and forward with a smile.

Looking in the direction Link pointed, Neville could clearly see Bellatrix, who was still roaring and cursing everything even though she was suppressed on the ground.

"Are you... asking me to kill her?"

Neville lowered his tone and spoke in a sleepy tone.

Hearing this, Link nodded and shook his head:

"After much thought, you may be the most suitable candidate. After all, it was Bellatrix who used the Cruciatus Curse to destroy your parents' sanity and your life. If you can take revenge with your own hands, Maybe it will help you in your future life.

Of course, this is just wishful thinking on my part.

I would never make decisions for others without authorization, so whether I should do so or not, to what extent should be done.Everything is decided by you. "

After saying this, Link released his hand from Neville's shoulder.

Following his move, Cedric and John stepped forward to help Neville squeeze out a path from the crowded crowd.

Neville stood there blankly.

His eyes were sometimes confused, sometimes frightened, and sometimes extremely angry.

But in the end, he still staggered onto the path that Cedric and John helped him open.

At this time, the jubilant crowd finally noticed the abnormality on Neville and Link's side.

There are actually not a few people in the entire Hogwarts who know Neville's tragic life experience.

So just looking at Neville walking slowly towards Bellatrix, many people already understood what Neville might do next.

For a moment, the originally noisy crowd suddenly fell silent, and then erupted into cheers that were far louder and more uniform than before.

"Come on! Neville! Teach her a lesson!"

"Neville! Don't make me look down on you!"

"Avenge your parents!"

……

The words of his classmates made Neville's face turn pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Don't think Neville is a fool.

In fact, Neville, who had experienced great changes in his family too early, saw the human heart better than anyone else.

Are those cheering and roaring classmates really cheering him on?

Not really, right?

Maybe there are indeed such people among them, such as Harry and Ron.

But most of them just want to watch the excitement!

Neville knew them all too well.

Such false encouragement not only failed to give him strength, but was actually what he was seriously afraid of.

Fortunately, Neville still has stronger support!

Taking a deep breath, Neville turned his head to look at Link with difficulty.

When he saw Link not far behind him, looking at him with a smile, Neville breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking forward.

Link is Neville's true source of courage.

Link's soft gaze was like a pair of warm hands, attached to his back, constantly feeding him courage and making his whole body feel warm.

Accompanied by Link and his party, Neville successfully walked up to Bellatrix.

"Wait for me a moment."

Link whispered to Neville and then turned and walked away, leaving Neville alone looking at Bellatrix blankly.

At the same time, Hermione also woke up under the care of Harry and Ron.

Hermione was obviously in shock, and she instinctively looked for Link as soon as she woke up.

It's a pity that the only three brothers surrounding her now are Harry and Weasley.

This made the look of disappointment fade away from her face.

"Hermione, you woke up just in time! We have won! All the Death Eaters have been captured, and a number of them have been executed before you even woke up!"

"what?"

After hearing Harry's words, Hermione was a little confused.

She looked at the excited Harry and others inexplicably, and her eyes finally fell on Neville at the front of the crowd.

"Neville, what are you doing?"

This question is actually quite redundant.

Because Hermione had just asked the question, she had already seen the suppressed Bellatrix in front of Neville.

Thinking of the grudge between Bellatrix and the Longbottom family, and the 'execution' that Harry just mentioned, a terrible possibility flashed through Hermione's mind.

"Na...Neville is...going to kill Bellatrix?"

Hermione stammered.

"Of course, Bellatrix tortured Neville's parents crazy! She even wanted to dig out your eyes just now!" Harry said excitedly, "This is also Link's idea. Neville had previously Originally, I didn’t have the chance to do it myself, but Link asked for his opinion and finally gave him the opportunity!”

As he spoke, a trace of envy flashed across Harry's face.

Hermione became extremely frightened when she heard this.

She jumped up from the ground and said:

"How can you let Neville do it? He doesn't even dare to kill a chicken! You will destroy him if you do this!

Also, why use lynching to execute these Death Eaters right here?

The death penalty has not been used in the magic world of the country for a long time!And even if the death penalty is imposed, it should be left to the Ministry of Magic and the Wizengamot Council to decide! "

As soon as these words came out, Harry, Ron and others' expressions darkened.

Ron reluctantly smiled and persuaded:

"This is actually the decision of the Ministry of Magic. You see, that person is Barty Crouch, the current Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Percy can also make the decision on behalf of Fudge. They all agree that these cannibals should be executed on the spot. Death Apostles is a good decision. In fact, Mr. Crouch announced the charges of some Death Eaters on the spot."

Harry's reaction was much greater than that of Ron. He pulled away Ron who was deliberately blocking him and yelled at Hermione:

"Why don't you allow Neville to avenge his parents? Don't you know how cruel those demons have done?

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Neville!If it were me, I would want to tear Voldemort, who killed my parents, into pieces!

And you actually said that you would hand those Death Eaters over to the Ministry of Magic and the Wizengamot for trial?

What to do with them?

Should we let them be acquitted again?

Or throw these Death Eaters into Azkaban and wait for Voldemort to rescue them? "

After Harry finished speaking, he looked at Hermione coldly, waved his hand and got into the crowd.

Hermione instinctively stretched out her hand to try to stay, but in the end she couldn't say anything.

She really didn't know what to say.

Because what Harry said was indeed correct, but the problem was that she felt that what she said was also correct!

At this moment, Link had returned to Neville's side.

In Link's hand, he was still holding the head of Rodolphus Lestrange.

The expression of this head has completely lost its vitality due to the long time since it has been dead.

However, his pair of eyes were still open stubbornly, and the outside of the eyeballs protruded to an astonishing extent, as if he wanted to dedicate his eyeballs to Bellatrix as his final dedication.

Neville looked at the head and shrank his neck in fear.

"I'm sorry, Neville. This man was also one of the people who tortured your parents. Unfortunately, he was accidentally killed by me." Link explained apologetically, "The situation at that time was more critical. If I If she doesn't take action, Hermione might..."

Neville quickly shook his head and said:

"It's okay, Link. Rather, I want to thank you!"

Link nodded, placed his head beside Bellatrix and said:

"Then, Neville, I'll leave this to you."

Link left again.

At the same time, Bellatrix, who was pinned to the ground, finally discovered the head placed beside her.

This discovery immediately stunned her, who was originally crazy.

"Rodolphus? Rodolphus..."

Bellatrix kept murmuring, and at the same time she kept pulling her palms on the smooth ground, as if she wanted to hold her husband's head in her arms.

However this is obviously impossible.

The suppressive spell the Aurors cast on it was too strong.

Even though she had tried her best.

Even the long nails on his hands were shattered by the hard friction, but they still couldn't move forward.

In the process, everyone was surprised to find that there was a layer of tears in her eyes.

"This is really surprising!" Ron commented with a grin, "A devil like her can actually cry!"

Harry also echoed:

"Yes, we just used the same methods she uses to deal with others. Why is she crying?"

Everyone was talking about it, but Neville never took action.

He just looked at Bellatrix quietly, his eyes even a little evasive and fearful.

But Link felt that Neville should still be enjoying it at this moment.

After all, revenge does feel empty after it is completed.

But that’s only after completion.

At least at the moment of success, right now, Neville, the Avenger, should be extremely comfortable.

The next thing is left to Neville to handle.

This is a feast that belongs to Neville alone, and he should not disturb it under any circumstances.

Thinking this, Link smiled slightly and took a few steps back.

At this moment, Scrimgeour limped over to Link.
