Chapter 182 The truth of the secret room is revealed?
One month later.
The Dumbledore case came to an end, and both sides fought in the courtroom with their forged evidence.
In the end, Dumbledore relied on the Wizengamot and the International Confederation of Wizards behind him to barely save his reputation.
At least on the surface, the British Ministry of Magic will no longer make any comments on this matter.
The price is that Dumbledore's reputation in the Wizengamot and the International Confederation of Wizards has plummeted.
Many people even think that he is not worthy of continuing to serve as the chairman of the International Confederation of Wizards and the chief wizard of the Wizengamot.
As for ordinary wizards, they have a preconceived idea that this matter was planned by Dumbledore.
Even if the results of the courtroom are announced, they only think that Dumbledore relied on his own strength and status to force the Ministry of Magic to bow its head.
In Hogwarts.
Because the exams are approaching, all the laughter and joy seem to disappear overnight.
Other grades are okay, mainly fifth and seventh grades, who stay in the library as long as they don't have classes.
After the dinner, I went to participate in Slughorn's club activities, and I was more punctual than attending classes.
Those who left the first club activities are almost regretting it now.
Slughorn put them on the blacklist since they left for the first time.
Since they came here, even if they have no interest in the club, they should stick with it for the sake of him and Argus.
But they left on their own initiative!
They don't even have this kind of vision and mind, they are just complete idiots.
In Slughorn's mind, such students are not worthy of his attention!
Not to mention club activities, he didn't even pay attention to them in class.
Completely ignored!
"Argus, look! Harry and Ron are back!"
One morning, in the hall of Hogwarts Castle.
Argus was enjoying breakfast quietly, and suddenly heard Draco's surprised voice.
Ron really didn't matter to Draco.
Harry was different!
Even if he had some unpleasant experiences with Draco, he was still a friend recognized by Draco.
Argus looked up and continued to eat breakfast.
Based on Dumbledore's strength and expectations for Harry, it was not incredible to save Harry.
As for Ron... it was just a waste of time.
Harry had been saved, so he couldn't be left behind.
He was a member of the Weasley family who had followed him for many years, so he couldn't let him down.
The return of Harry and Ron caused quite a stir in Hogwarts.
If it weren't for the exam week, the whole Hogwarts would probably be boiling for the two.
According to Dumbledore, the two appeared as Argus' assistants.
They were more or less half heroes.
But obviously, Harry and Ron, who had recovered their memories, both believed that they were the protagonists of this basilisk incident.
They saved Hogwarts!
"Evil Slytherin, I've said he's a dark wizard!"
"We worked so hard to kill the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, what does he have to do with it! We didn't see his shadow from beginning to end!"
"In the end, he became a hero! He killed the basilisk!"
Ron muttered to himself, extremely dissatisfied with Argus.
Harry on the side rarely refuted.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the Gryffindor table, a large group of little lions rushed towards them.
They kept asking questions.
Harry and Ron enjoyed the feeling of being admired by countless people.
Ron, in particular, kept bragging about how brave he was in the Chamber of Secrets.
How to join forces with Harry to kill the basilisk!
"But...but what I heard seemed to be Argus killed the basilisk?"
"You and Harry were already fainted at the time?"
A little wizard asked doubtfully, and others echoed.
"Yes, Argus killed the basilisk, and Argus also found out the Chamber of Secrets."
"Didn't you two just follow him to open the Chamber of Secrets?"
"Yes, that's what the Daily Prophet said. It was Argus who discovered the true identity of Gilderoy Lockhart, but he couldn't open the Chamber of Secrets because he didn't speak Parseltongue, so he thought of Harry."
Ron was about to get angry when he saw that his boasting was refuted.
Harry remembered Dumbledore's instructions before they were discharged from the hospital, and pulled Ron's clothes to calm him down.
But Ron, who was jealous, didn't care about these!
He slapped the table and stood up.
"Harry and I killed the basilisk, what does it have to do with him!"
"He is a liar! He didn't do anything, but he took all the honors on himself!"
The loud voice instantly attracted the attention of countless people.
Many people's eyes jumped back and forth between Argus, Ron and Harry, as if judging whether what Ron said was true.
Argus's expression did not change, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Use a table knife to elegantly cut the bacon in front of you.
Argus doesn't care about these things, but the Slytherins can't stand it!
Pansy stood up and sneered, "That's right, Argus didn't do anything."
"Lockhart sent you and Harry out."
"After he sent you out, he went back to the Chamber of Secrets, stuffed himself into the mouth of the basilisk, closed the mouth of the basilisk with his hands, and let the basilisk bite himself to death!"
There was laughter all around!
Yes, you two were knocked unconscious by Lockhart and stayed in the hospital for several months!
It wasn't Argus who saved you, could it be that Lockhart had a change of heart?
A few sarcastic words made Ron's face red as a monkey's butt.
He was not a good talker, so he opened his mouth to refute, but after thinking for a long time, he didn't know how to reply.
The people in Hogwarts originally admired and appreciated the two of them, but now after Ron's disturbance.
This emotion disappeared instantly!
Their eyes showed contempt.
They saved your life, but you didn't say thank you properly, but instead blamed him here!
Is this something a human can do?
Even Ron's brothers and sisters cast strange eyes on him.
Percy frowned and scolded: "Ron, sit down!"
Harry had experienced many similar scenes in the past, so he was extremely sensitive to changes in the atmosphere.
He hurriedly pushed Ron to the chair.
Unfortunately, the words had already been said. Even if Ron thanked Argus now, others would only think that he was unwilling.
Even Harry, who was with Ron, was also looked down upon by many people.
The reputation that Dumbledore had spent months building for Harry was completely destroyed by Ron in just ten minutes.
"Seamus, what class are we going to have today?"
Harry asked his roommate for no other reason.
But Seamus just glanced at him, picked up his schoolbag and turned away, not paying any attention to him at all.
In desperation, Harry and Ron had to follow the Gryffindors to the classroom without even eating.
