As the saying went, smiles never disappeared; they simply moved from your face to mine.
While the Death Eaters busied themselves cleaning up the mess left behind by the foreign Dark Wizards, the entire British wizarding world was absorbed in the major events that had just taken place.
After news spread that the Death Eaters and the foreign Dark Wizards had torn each other apart, suffering heavy casualties, many listeners who secretly tuned in to the Wizard Watchtower broadcast applauded in delight, wishing the Death Eaters had died alongside those foreign Dark Wizards.
Yet what shocked them most was the recent mass breakout from Azkaban.
No one had expected Harry Potter, who had remained silent for so long, to lead like-minded companions who opposed The Dark Lord into Azkaban and rescue the people persecuted by the Death Eaters.
This good news undoubtedly greatly bolstered people's confidence that The Dark Lord could be defeated once again.
Some particularly excited wizards even "accidentally" caused quite a commotion while celebrating this rare victory.
Of course, only a small number of insiders knew the truth: this had all been deliberately arranged by the Defense Association. Not only was it meant to celebrate this great victory, but also to remind everyone that victory was within sight, urging them to bravely stand with Harry and defeat The Dark Lord!
It was somewhat pathetic to say, but it could not be denied that all these tricks were intended to awaken the courage of other wizards and guide them into the great cause of opposing The Dark Lord, rather than having them remain fence-sitters who swayed whichever way the wind blew.
When Harry had first heard the proposal, he had instinctively opposed it. Yet after everyone persuaded him, he accepted this glorious task.
