Chapter 72
After Dumbledore had finished talking about the extra points, Eddie couldn't help but say to Scott, "It's not fair! Gryffindor got a total of 400 points!"
Scott smiled indifferently and didn't tell him that it wasn't over yet.
Dumbledore lowered his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and continued: "In addition, I also decided to present Harry Potter with a Hogwarts Special Contribution Award!"
After speaking, he took the lead in applauding again.
This time, the cheers from the Gryffindor students grew louder, applauding and stomping their feet, looking very happy.
Scott saw that Potter was very excited to hug his two little friends.
He also found that Professor Flitwick and Professor Snape were both unhappy on the faculty.
Roger also said dissatisfiedly: "You should also get a special contribution award, Scott."
"I don't care," Scott said softly. "Potter is supposed to be the old nemesis of You-Know-Who."
Eddie on the side rolled his eyes and immediately understood what Scott meant.
"You think so?" he said to Scott. "I wanted to privately publicize your exploits for you, but now it seems like it's okay."
Scott stared at him blankly.
This guy almost killed him!
Eddie immediately apologized to Scott.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think of it." He smiled shyly, "You are right, safety is the most important thing."
Scott nodded in satisfaction.
When the Gryffindor students were completely quiet, Dumbledore announced the official start of the dinner.
But the Slytherin students who had been very dissatisfied just now had a new move.
"professor."
A Slytherin student suddenly stood up.
Scott looked over and saw that it was the seventh-year Stryrner who had taken over from Malfoy's attack on the "message" the previous morning.
Strielner, who seemed to be a suave man, bowed politely to the teacher's chair.
"Strielner is a squeamish thing," Eddie said softly. "He's said to be a grumpy guy in private."
Stryner said to Dumbledore, "I wonder if you can tell us what the Slytherin Chamber is all about."
"Yes."
Scott heard a lot of people whispering.
"Dumbledore didn't say anything clearly just now!"
He looked at the teachers' bench again, and found Snape staring closely at Stryrner.
He even curled his upper lip, but for some reason he didn't open his mouth to stop it.
At this moment, Dumbledore stood up again.
"Good question, I also think I should tell you all about this matter. Although some professors think this is unnecessary and even cause panic," he said loudly, "But I think it should be told to you."
Next, he started talking about what happened 50 years ago.
Voldemort secretly opened the Chamber of Secrets during school and killed a Ravenclaw schoolgirl, blaming Hagrid for it.
When he said this, Hagrid, who was sitting on the side, broke down in tears.
He was wiping his nose with a dirty, shiny, tablecloth-sized handkerchief.
Scott frowned when he saw this scene, and quickly looked away.
Dumbledore spoke again about the monster in the Chamber of Secrets, the basilisk.
When he announced that the Basilisk had been brought down by him, Professor Flitwick and Professor Snape, most of the students immediately applauded enthusiastically.
Many people were horrified when they heard that the basilisk's eyes could kill people, and they were very thankful that the professors had dealt with the monster.
Especially the little wizards who were born Muggles made their palms red.
They believed that Slytherin kept the basilisks in order to weed out Muggle-born students.
"Do you have any questions? Mr. Stryner." Dumbledore asked Stryner, who had been standing.
"No, Professor."
Stryner sat down with an ugly face.
"Those Slytherin guys actually acquiesced." Eddie lowered his voice and said in surprise, "They acquiesced that Salazar Slytherin left the basilisk to eliminate Muggle-born students!"
At this time, William Brown, who was sitting across the long table, suddenly raised his head and said to him: "Those pure-bloods think so themselves, and they want to let the basilisk kill us."
Scott was impressed by the seventh-grade wizard who had recommended himself to Lisa Dupin as a defender.
"Although I don't know why Slytherin left the basilisk, he didn't want to bloody the school." Scott spoke to him. "I talked to Ms. Gray about this topic."
William Brown sneered, "Those people only listen to what they want to hear. As for what Slytherin thinks? They don't care!"
At this time, Dumbledore said to the students: "What happened in the past two days, and what happened in the last school year, tells us that although Voldemort has temporarily disappeared, the dangers he left behind are not. Really stay away from us. Everyone should be wary of this."
After speaking, he sat down again.
Although Scott was a little surprised that he didn't mention the possibility of Voldemort making a comeback at any time, in a word, the dinner was finally ready for dinner.
He chatted with William Brown while eating the food, and the two quickly became acquainted.
Scott learned that William was also of Muggle origin and that his parents were both well-known lawyers in London.
"I grew up aspired to be a more successful barrister than my parents," he told Scott. "Since I came to the wizarding world, I've been stunned by the backward and barbaric legal system here!"
"The irrationality of wizards is reflected in every aspect, even many laws of the Ministry of Magic are drawn up at random!"
He showed a strange expression, looking a little dumbfounded.
"At that time, on the one hand, I looked down on such a deformed legal system, and on the other hand, I was delighted by the numerous legal loopholes."
Scott nodded knowingly.
Well, lawyers are all guys who are good at exploiting legal loopholes.
"At that time, I was full of ambition, and I thought I could open a law firm in the magic world, which has never been done in the British magic world!"
William is a very eloquent guy, and he can say a lot in a while.
He told Scott in detail about his previous career plans.
Although he is also a talkative person, but unlike Eddie's mouthful of running the train, William speaks clearly and logically.
After talking about his previous plan, he shook his head again, "I quickly realized that my plan would not work."
With a look of disgust on his face, he said, "Those guys, the upper classes of the wizarding world hold the legislative power in every department of the Ministry of Magic, and they have even left themselves countless loopholes."
He spread his hands helplessly.
"In short, the laws of the magical world are full of flexibility. Those people have countless reasons not to follow the law. They talk about human feelings and morality, but they don't talk about the law! Lawyers are the most useless profession here!"
Scott asked him curiously, "You will graduate soon, will you choose to return to the Muggle world to become a lawyer?"
"I don't know." William looked a little confused. "Whether it's the wizarding world or the Muggle world, it makes me feel out of place."
This is how Muggle-born wizards are now, Scott thought.
It is not easy to survive in the magic world, you can only be the bottom.In the Muggle world, they have to be put on the shackles called "secrecy laws".
Seriously, there is no real place in either the wizarding world or the Muggle world.
At this time, Eddie, who had been listening to the conversation between the two just now, was rarely in a low mood.
"What will happen to me in the future?" he said. "I can't imagine."
Scott couldn't help but think of himself.
To be honest, he doesn't have a clear plan for the future either.
Although he was only interested in magic itself, he never cared about what would happen to the magic world.
But leaving him at the bottom of the wizarding world, he would rather choose to go home and inherit the family's Muggle antique shop.
"Milton, where are you going?"
Roger's sudden voice brought Scott back to his senses, before he noticed that Milton had left his seat.
"Milton, are you full?" he asked in surprise.
"Oh, yes." Milton smiled in a trance, "I have to go to the classical music club quickly, that piece will disappear at some point, I'm afraid it's too late to record her completely."
Scott was even more surprised, "With your ability, can't you remember it after hearing it once?"
"No." Milton shook his head. "Every day she's changing and getting better and better!"
He turned around and left in a hurry.
Scott noticed that some students at other long tables had left with him.
That's obviously all members of a classical music club.
"This is absolutely wrong!" Roger said angrily.
He looked at the back of those people leaving with some worry, and said to Scott and Eddie unhappily: "The music appeared so weird, didn't those guys notice it at all?"
