Chapter 1389: Chapter 1154: The Prince’s Story
Lin Yuan is one to keep his word.
After finishing his noodles and going back upstairs, he pounded his own chest with his fists, successfully completing the “beat up Chu Kuang” task assigned by his sister.
More motivated than doing System tasks.
Nearby.
Antarctica looked utterly baffled and quietly distanced himself from Lin Yuan.
The next day.
After a good night’s sleep, the sister had mostly regained her energy and even had the mood to recommend something to Big Yaoyao over breakfast:
“You’ve seen the Harry Potter series, right?”
“Seen the earlier ones.”
“The finale is about to be released. I’ll grab a copy for you when it’s out.”
“Is it any good?”
“The most exciting one in the whole series!”
“Okay.”
Big Yaoyao was pretty happy.
Lin Yuan, on the other hand, felt a bout of toothache and couldn’t help but say to his little sister, “I’ll make you some noodles tonight, I’ll eat the greens, you eat the egg yolk.”
Big Yaoyao gave him a suspicious look. Since when did her brother become so nice?
Same went for the sister.
She hadn’t brought her any of the earlier Harry Potter books, but now suddenly she’s being considerate?
Acting overly nice without cause can only mean ulterior motives.
Breakfast was nearly finished.
The sister cleaned her plate and patted Big Yaoyao on the shoulder with an enigmatic expression.
Meanwhile, their mother, sitting on the sofa and watching TV, curiously asked, “Is that Harry Potter series any good?”
Lin Yuan hurriedly replied, “Not good at all.”
Perhaps the unexpected answer piqued her curiosity even more, as Mom started looking intrigued.
At that moment, the TV abruptly broadcast a news report:
“Chu Kuang’s Harry Potter series is about to reach its final chapter. Countless readers, upon hearing this, are struggling to sleep and are gathered discussing their excitement for ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’…”
It even made the news.
Mom seemed even more interested now.
And the news wasn’t wrong at all.
The readers’ anticipation for the finale was at its peak, especially since the protagonist trio seemed to have snagged immunity from death.
Chu Kuang had never revealed such details in advance before.
As readers put it:
“Only this time.”
“We can fully trust Chu Kuang.”
…
Meanwhile, as other readers eagerly awaited the novel’s conclusion, one reader named Hu Ji found himself in a bit of personal turmoil.
Snape is going to die!
Chu Kuang had confirmed it himself during an interview!
Most readers were overjoyed at this revelation.
However, as a fan of Snape, Hu Ji couldn’t bring himself to be happy about it.
His favorite character had essentially been officially scheduled for “being written out,” how could Hu Ji possibly feel cheerful?
Even though Snape’s killing of Dumbledore at the end of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” had left Hu Ji thoroughly confused.
But didn’t Teacher Yi’an hint that Snape isn’t actually a villain?
If he’s not a villain, why must he die?
Or perhaps the Teacher Yi’an, who Hu Ji considered the expert on interpreting Chu Kuang’s machinations, got it wrong this time?
Waiting for the finale.
Hu Ji felt somewhat tortured.
In reality, waiting can be a bit agonizing for most people.
Thankfully, Silver Blue Books moved with decent speed.
A few days later.
On May 7th.
The highly anticipated “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” was officially released!
That morning.
Swarms of readers flooded the bookstores!
Hu Ji joined the massive crowd, queued for an hour straight, and successfully bought “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!”
Back home.
Hu Ji immediately started reading!
At the same time.
Readers from Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Zhong Continent, as well as all over Blue Star, opened the book as soon as they got their copy.
The intensity of anticipation was stronger than ever before!
…
The Harry Potter series finale spans over five hundred thousand characters.
How long does it take to read five hundred thousand words?
The answer varies depending on the person.
Hu Ji belongs to the fast-reading type, and since he was desperate to uncover Snape’s fate in the finale, he really wanted to skim through the pages quickly.
However.
Hu Ji didn’t get far before hitting a brutally shocking scene.
Charity Burbage was dead.
She was a newly hired professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, responsible for teaching kids magic and sorcery courses.
She was killed in front of the Death Eaters as a public spectacle.
Though Hu Ji found it cruel, he wasn’t terribly sad—she wasn’t exactly a familiar character for everyone.
What truly upset him was the next piece of news:
Hedwig was dead!
The owl that had been with Harry Potter for years was struck down by a Killing Curse while fleeing from the Death Eaters.
At that moment.
Hu Ji was utterly floored.
He even forgot about pursuing Snape’s storyline, completely swept up in the emotional blow of Hedwig’s death!
And in the Potterhead Group that Hu Ji was part of.
When members reached this part, the chat exploded:
“Oh crap!”
“Hedwig died?”
“That old rascal really kills off one per book, and this time he’s targeted Hedwig! It’s all Snape’s fault for leaking the location of Harry right at the start!”
“Not even sparing an owl!”
“Devastating!”
“I thought this book’s victim might be Lupin or some other elder mentor from the Order of the Phoenix, never imagined the knife would strike Hedwig instead!”
“So heartbreaking.”
“I really liked Hedwig!”
“Loving animals is just human nature, let alone the protagonist’s animal companion. Hedwig’s presence often eclipsed some major supporting characters!”
“Forget it, just endure it.”
“Every book with a death—it’s already tradition for the Harry Potter series.”
