So Harry continued to talk, retelling the bloody battle in the Chamber of Secrets exactly as it was, including exposing Tom Riddle's plan, using the spell he got from Dumbledore to restrain the basilisk, and Voldemort summoning eight giant beasts.
Python, then Fox and Lu Wei came to support. Finally, Ivy and Betty came to the rescue. Together they defeated Voldemort and destroyed his diary.
Harry's words were concise and there were no redundant descriptions. But everyone present could feel the thrilling process.
After he finished narrating, everyone looked at Dumbledore in unison.
Dumbledore picked up the two halves of the diary from the table and looked at it. "Originally, I was still wondering how Voldemort used to confuse Ginny."
"It's amazing." The bright lights reflected on the lenses, making it difficult to see his expression. "He can be said to be the most outstanding student in the history of Hogwarts."
He turned around and looked at everyone, "Few people know that Voldemort used to be called Tom Riddle. Fifty years ago, at Hogwarts, I personally taught him. Unfortunately... alas~ now
Almost no one would associate Voldemort with the smart, handsome student union president I once was."
"Ginny!" Mr. Weasley looked very ugly. "I have told you many times! Never trust anything that can think independently! The summer vacation is so long, why don't you show me or your mother the diary?
!”
Ginny just lowered her head silently
"Mr. Weasley," Dumbledore interrupted his lecture, "I think the most important thing now is to send Miss Weasley to the school nurse for a checkup. Moreover, Miss Weasley's performance is very good and she can break free from the diary on her own.
Control, this is not easy. You must know that many wizards who are older and more resourceful than her were deceived by Voldemort and could not get rid of it until their death."
As he said that, Dumbledore lowered his head and winked at Ginny, "So she needs to rest in bed now, and it's best to have a cup of steaming chocolate milk."
This means that Ginny will not be punished! Iron Triangle is very happy.
After the Weasleys took Ginny out, Dumbledore looked at Professor McGonagall and said, "You know, Minerva. I think these things are worthy of a banquet to celebrate. I wonder if you could please inform me."
Where’s the kitchen?”
"Okay." Professor McGonagall simply agreed, then turned and left.
After watching Professor McGonagall leave, Dumbledore turned and stared at the three Harrys, "I remember telling you that if you violate school rules again, I will have to expel you."
"Ah——!" The trio, who were still happy for Ginny, froze on the spot, their mouths hanging open.
"But -" Seeing their amused looks, Dumbledore changed the topic, "Even the best among us will sometimes not mean what we say." He said with a smile, "Let me think about it - um -
—You will all receive the school's special contribution award, and each will earn two hundred points for Gryffindor."
The trio became happy again
Ivy could see it clearly from the sidelines. Dumbledore was like a pyramid scheme leader, giving someone a slap in the face, while Harry and the three of them worked hard and worked hard. Not only did they not complain, they were also extremely happy.
"As for Mr. Shafik and Miss Ethel -" Dumbledore looked at them again, "Thanks to your timely arrival, Harry and the others were able to survive." After a slight pause, "Each of them added two hundred to Hufflepuff.
point!"
"And I can make the decision to give Lu Wei to you," he continued.
"Thank you!" Ivy thought that Dumbledore thought that Lu Wei had eaten too much, so he handed it over to them. But it is indeed a good thing to get such a powerful help in vain.
"Mr. Dumbledore, there is one more thing," Ivy said again. He walked outside the door and brought Lockhart in and put him on the chair.
"This is?" Dumbledore was slightly surprised after seeing his face clearly.
"That's what happened, Professor..." Harry told Lockhart exactly what he had done.
"Is that so? I was negligent." Dumbledore didn't expect to hire a bluffing guy.
"I will hand him over to the Ministry of Magic and he will be punished as he deserves."
"If you have nothing else to do, prepare to go to the banquet. Harry will stay." Dumbledore issued the eviction order.
"Okay, Mr. Principal" the others left the room
After coming out, Ron seemed very excited
"Yeah! This year's Academy Cup still belongs to Gryffindor." He danced happily. He had been deducted so many points and thought there was no hope.
"That's not necessarily true~" Ivy retorted, "Betty and I both have extra points."
"We added 600 points!" Ron said unconvinced.
"But you don't have to play Quidditch, do you~"
The words woke up the dreamer, and Ron instantly petrified on the spot. Ivy continued to say playfully, "Similarly, Slytherin can't beat it. If Hufflepuff can defeat Ravenclaw, plus Betty and I's scores
, the House Cup belongs to Hufflepuff."
"But don't forget there are still exams." Hermione also looked high-spirited.
"That's right!" Ron nodded repeatedly and looked at Hermione with admiration. "You will definitely take first place. The Academy Cup is still ours."
"Okay, you win." Ivey just wanted to tease them. The Academy Cup doesn't matter.
"It's hard to get everything sorted out, but you should still worry about what subjects to choose in the third grade." Betty glanced at the three people who were bickering.
"Which one do you want to study?" Ivy asked.
"I don't even want to fix it," Betty said lightly.
"But you have to take at least one elective course." Ron also looked troubled. Judging from his appearance, he should have similar thoughts to Betty.
"Ivy, which courses are you going to take?" Hermione asked
"Well, if there was a way to learn about unarmed and melee weapon combat, I think I would be happy to choose it."
"..." Everyone was speechless
Looking at their looks, Ivey smiled and said, "No more joking, let's be serious. I just choose to protect magical animals."
"Me too!" Ron said in surprise, "This course sounds very interesting."
"Are you going to choose just one?" Hermione said in disbelief.
"What do you think, none of them are too many for me."
"Betty, are you the same as Ivy?" She looked at Betty expectantly again
"Yeah" Betty nodded lightly
"Uh-" Hermione covered her face with a headache
"Hermione, you are a top student, we can't compete with you," Ivy said jokingly. In fact, although Betty's grades in Charms, Transfiguration, Herbology and Potions were good, but other magic
She was not interested in history classes or astronomy classes. Her grades were average, and she was incomparable to an all-rounder like Hermione.
When they arrived at the restaurant, almost all the little witches were there. They separated, and Ivy and Betty went back to the Hufflepuff table.
"Ivy, I heard that you, Betty, and Harry defeated the heir! Really?" Mike rushed forward excitedly. Other little Hufflepuff wizards also followed.
"Hey, stop it!" Ivy quickly stretched out his hand to block them. "It was almost over when I left. If you want to know what happened, you have to ask Harry and the other three."...
After trying to deal with the crazy little wizard, Ivey wiped away his sweat.
Soon, Harry and Dumbledore came back, and the banquet officially began.
