Chapter 138 Principal, Aurors have surrounded the castle!
On the last day of the semester, the school ushered in a sumptuous dinner.
The Great Hall was decorated with blue and bronze curtains to celebrate Ravenclaw House winning the House Cup this year.
The Ravenclaw students were very excited. They had not touched this trophy for ten years, and they did not expect that they would finally get their wish this year.
Although the College Cup is completely in the shape of other colleges, the Eagles don't mind. As long as they can touch the trophy, their school days will be complete.
At least it's not like students in some colleges who never touched it once from enrollment to graduation... It's really pitiful.
(Little lion: Meow meow meow?)
Hufflepuff students were in trouble, they were ranked second, only fifty-eight points behind Ravenclaw.
If the Quidditch finals hadn't been cancelled, and without the extra points, Badger House would have definitely been in first place... I can only say that it was a blood loss!
Of course, even without the Quidditch game, Hufflepuff still had a chance to catch up, but Snape killed the game!
In the last class, he deducted a few extra points from the Hufflepuff students, making the competition completely lose suspense.
Professor Snape doesn't have much ill feelings toward Hufflepuff, but he hasn't forgiven them yet for the Badger House that prevented Slytherin from winning seven consecutive championships last year!
Therefore, Snape could not allow Hufflepuff to win two consecutive championships, for no other reason than to suppress Hufflepuff's arrogance.
As for Slytherin House, as the third oldest, it is firmly on top of Gryffindor.
There is nothing to say about this. Harry and Ron alone were deducted more than 400 points. Gryffindor can be ranked fourth because there are only four houses!
Ravenclaw won the Academy Cup, but Professor Flitwick, as the dean, did not have much joy on his face. He looked at the celebrating students and could only sigh in his heart... The pattern is broken!
Sure enough, at the beginning of the dinner, Professor Dumbledore stood up and raised his arms to signal everyone to quiet down.
Seeing this familiar scene, the Ravenclaw students all had a bad thought in their hearts.
"It's the end of another school year. So many things happened during this period, which made me feel a lot of things!" Dumbledore said in a deep voice.
"First of all, it is a pity that Professor Lockhart was attacked and is leaving us, and the school needs a new teacher to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts.
God, teachers in this class are used up so fast, aren’t they?”
Professor Lockhart is gone, which is obviously a very sad thing, but the students can't help laughing...even if ten years of merit are deducted for this!
Not only did he become a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, but he also provoked Madame Chabini. Under this kind of double death buff, it would be difficult to survive.
Shabini, who was sitting in Slytherin, was the loudest. Lockhart wanted to be his father, so he was a little too young!
"I think you all know who the murderer who attacked Professor Lockhart, the administrator and the students is," Dumbledore continued.
George and Fred shouted in unison: "Peter Pettigrew!"
"That's right, that's right, a traitor who has been dead for eleven years and is regarded as a 'hero' by us." Dumbledore paused briefly and said with a serious face:
"Peter has been hiding in Hogwarts all these years, waiting for the opportunity to continue doing evil."
The little wizards all whispered among themselves.
"Similarly, as an innocent person, a hero who once bravely fought against Voldemort, was treated as a prisoner in Azkaban." Dumbledore said softly:
"This also tells us that you can never easily evaluate a person until you truly understand him."
Many students shuddered when they heard the name Voldemort.
"I just noticed that many people are still afraid when they hear that name, but I want to say..." Dumbledore looked around and said loudly:
"Be brave and don't be afraid of Voldemort, because he is also afraid of us, even more than we are afraid of him!"
Everyone stared blankly at the old man.
Dumbledore looked serious and said in a serious tone:
"Voldemort failed once, eleven years ago...and it was a disastrous defeat. He was not invincible, but a loser!
"
"In that case, why are we so afraid? So afraid that we dare not mention his name?"
"As the last dinner of this semester, I want to teach you a truth... Always use the correct name for a thing. The fear of a name will strengthen the fear of the thing itself."
Someone suddenly shouted "Voldemort", and then more shouts sounded. Although they were sparse, they still spread towards other tables.
By the end, the entire auditorium was buzzing with "Voldemort" voices one after another.
There was dead silence at the Slytherin table, but Malfoy's blood was gushing, his mind was blank, and for some reason he couldn't help shouting:
"Voldemort!"
All the Slytherin students turned to look at Malfoy. He turned pale and shut up immediately, wishing he could give himself a slap.
Is it possible to keep shouting? I don’t want to live anymore!
But the roars of hundreds of people grew louder and louder, and finally spread throughout the castle, so that the shouts could be faintly heard in Hogsmeade Village in the distance.
Many wizards walked out of the house and looked towards Hogwarts...
What's going on? Are the Death Eaters doing team building?!
Report it to the Ministry of Magic immediately!
In the auditorium, Dumbledore pressed his arm, and the shouting slowly stopped. He said in a deep voice:
"I have also seen some reports recently, describing the sufferings Sirius Black has suffered over the years, praising his greatness, and admiring his extraordinaryness.
I don’t deny this, but I would rather say..."
"Never believe that suffering is worthy of praise. Suffering is suffering. Suffering will not bring success. Suffering is not worth pursuing. The reason for tempering your will is that suffering cannot be avoided."
"Therefore, I earnestly request you all." Dumbledore looked at all the students with bright eyes.
“Whenever you encounter any grievance, suffer any injustice, or encounter any bullying, you must tell the dean or tell me.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! We will find out the facts and help you get justice, instead of gritting your teeth and bearing the responsibility, let alone enduring it silently, even if you can make up for it in the future, but..."
"Justice delayed is also injustice!"
The students all applauded desperately. Hermione was a leader in this area. She was introducing to the classmates on the side that she had written a complaint to the principal's mailbox.
Harry and Ron were also discussing quietly whether they should file a complaint against Snape?
"Finally, as the hero who captured Peter Pettigrew - Mr. Rolf Scamander."
Dumbledore looked at the boy with his blue eyes, and he said with a smile on his face:
"I would like to express my gratitude and respect to him again. He used his keen wisdom, fearless courage and extraordinary courage to bring justice to a good man and to bring justice to a bad man."
Dumbledore raised his cup and paid tribute to Rove.
The students were all surprised. Many people speculated that it was Luo Fe, but this was the first time anyone was sure about it.
Everyone stood up and raised their cups towards Luo Fu, who also smiled and picked up the cup.
"For this, I would like to reward Hufflepuff House with two hundred points and another special contribution award to the school." Dumbledore said loudly.
The Hufflepuffs cheered loudly, almost shaking the ceiling.
"This means..." Dumbledore waved his wand and said, "We need to make some small changes to the decoration here."
Those blue hanging ribbons turned into black and gold, and a majestic badger appeared on the ceiling.
But no one cared about the Academy Cup. Everyone rushed over and asked Rove how he caught Peter.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Filch, who had just recovered, rushed in. He stammered and shouted:
"Principal, many Aurors came to the gate of the castle and surrounded the castle, saying they wanted to catch Death Eaters..."
