Chapter 72 072. Two or three things happened at the dinner party

After Dumbledore finished talking about the extra points, Eddie couldn't help but said to Scott: "This is not fair! Gryffindor got a total of 400 points!"

Scott smiled nonchalantly 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 have also decided to award Harry Potter a Hogwarts Special Contribution Award!"

After saying that, he took the lead in applauding again.

This time, the Gryffindor students cheered even louder. They clapped and stamped their feet, looking very happy.

Scott was very excited to see Porter hugging his two little friends.

He also found that Professor Flitwick and Professor Snape at the teachers' table were both very unhappy.

Roger also said dissatisfied: "You should also get a special contribution award, Scott."

"I don't care." Scott said softly, "Potter should be You-Know-Who's old enemy."

Eddie on the side rolled his eyes and immediately understood what Scott meant.

"Is that what you think?" he said to Scott, "Originally I wanted to publicize your achievements for you privately, but now it seems I'd better forget it."

Scott stared at him expressionlessly.

This guy almost wanted to hurt him!

Eddie immediately apologized to Scott.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect it." He smiled sarcastically, "You are right, safety is the most important thing."

Scott nodded with satisfaction.

When the Gryffindor students were completely quiet, Dumbledore announced that the dinner had officially begun.

But the Slytherin students who had been very dissatisfied just now made new moves.

"professor."

A Slytherin student suddenly stood up.

Scott looked over and found that it was the wizard who took over Malfoy's attack on the "Message" the previous morning, seventh-year Strelner.

Strelna seemed to be a gentle man, and he bowed to the teacher's chair with great etiquette.

"Strilna is really good at putting on airs," Eddie said softly. "They say he's a grumpy guy in private."

Strelna said to Dumbledore: "I wonder if you can tell us what the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets is all about."

"yes."

Scott heard many people whispering.

"Dumbledore clearly didn't say anything clearly just now!"

He looked towards the teacher's desk again and saw that Snape was staring closely at Strelna.

He even curled his upper lip, but for some reason he didn't say anything to stop it.

At this time, Dumbledore stood up again.

"Good question. I also think that I should tell you all about this matter. Although some professors think that this is unnecessary and may even cause panic." He said loudly, "But I think that I should tell you."

Next, he started talking about what happened fifty years ago.

Voldemort secretly opened the Chamber of Secrets during school and killed a female Ravenclaw student, but blamed Hagrid.

When he said this, Hagrid, who was sitting aside, burst into tears.

He kept wiping his nose with a dirty, shiny handkerchief the size of a tablecloth.

Scott frowned when he saw this and quickly looked away.

Dumbledore talked about the monster in the Chamber of Secrets again, the basilisk.

When he announced that the basilisk had been defeated by him, Professor Flitwick and Professor Snape, most of the students immediately applauded enthusiastically.

Many people were frightened when they heard that the basilisk's eyes could kill people. They were very glad that the professors solved the monster.

Especially the little wizards who were born as Muggles, their palms turned red.

They believed that Slytherin left the basilisk in order to eliminate Muggle-born students.

"Do you have any more questions? Mr. Strelner." Dumbledore asked Strelner, who had been standing.

"No more, Professor."

Strelna sat down with an ugly expression.

"Those Slytherin guys actually acquiesced." Eddie lowered his voice and said in surprise, "They acquiesced that Salazar Slytherin left the basilisk because he wanted 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. They are eager to let the basilisk kill us."

This seventh-year wizard once offered himself as a defender to Lisa Dupin, and Scott was deeply impressed by him.

"Although I don't know why Slytherin left the basilisk behind, he didn't want to bloodbath the school." Scott talked to him, "I talked about this topic with Ms. Gray."

William Brown sneered, "Those people will only listen to what they want to hear. As for what Slytherin himself thinks? They don't care!"

At this time, Dumbledore said to the students: "What happened in the past two days, as well as what happened in the last school year, tell us that although Voldemort has temporarily disappeared, the dangers he left behind have not. Really stay away from us."

After saying that, he sat down again.

Although Scott was a little surprised that he didn't mention that Voldemort could come back at any time, but in short, the dinner could finally start.

While eating delicious food, he chatted with William Brown, and the two quickly became familiar with each other.

Scott learned that William was also born into a Muggle family, and his parents were both well-known lawyers in London.

"I have been determined to become a more successful barrister than my parents since I was a child." He told Scott, "Since I came to the magical world, I have been shocked by the backward and barbaric legal system here!"

"The irrationality of wizards is reflected in all aspects. Even many laws of the Ministry of Magic are drafted arbitrarily!"

He had a strange expression on his face, looking a little bit dumbfounded.

"At that time, on the one hand, I looked down on such a deformed legal system, and on the other hand, I was secretly happy about the numerous legal loopholes."

Scott nodded understandingly.

Lawyers are all good at exploiting legal loopholes.

"At that time, I was full of ambitions. I felt that I could open a law firm in the wizarding world. This had never happened in the British wizarding world!"

William is a very eloquent guy, and he can say a lot in a short time.

He told Scott in detail about his past career plans.

Although he is also a talkative person, unlike Eddie who talks a lot, William speaks clearly and logically.

After talking about his previous plan, he shook his head again, "I soon realized that my plan would not work."

With an expression of hatred on his face, he said: "Those guys, the upper class of the wizarding world control the legislative power of various departments of the Ministry of Magic, and they even left countless loopholes for themselves."

He spread his hands helplessly.

"In short, the laws in the magical world are full of flexibility. Those people have countless reasons not to follow the law. They care about humanity and morality, but not 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. "Now, whether it is the magical world or the Muggle world, I feel out of place."

This is the current situation of Muggle-born wizards, Scott thought.

It's not easy to survive in the magic world, you can only be at the bottom. In the Muggle world, they have to be shackles called the "Secrecy Act" again.

Seriously speaking, there is no real place for him 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 also a little depressed.

"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 now.

Although he was only interested in magic itself, he never cared about what would happen to the magic world.

But for him to be at the bottom of the wizarding world, he would rather go home and inherit his family's Muggle antique shop.

"Milton, where are you going?"

Roger's sudden voice brought Scott back to his senses, and he noticed that Milton had left his seat.

"Milton, are you full?" he asked in surprise.

"Oh, yes." Milton smiled in a daze, "I have to go to the classical music club quickly. That piece of music will disappear at some point. I'm afraid that I won't have time to record it completely."

Scott was even more surprised, "With your ability, wouldn't you be able to remember it after listening to it once?"

"No." Milton shook his head, "She will have new changes every day, and it will become more and more wonderful!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Scott noticed that some students at other long tables had left with him.

Those were obviously members of the classical music club.

"This is definitely wrong!" Roger said angrily.

He looked at the backs of those people leaving with some worry, and said unhappily to Scott and Eddie: "The music appeared so weird, didn't those guys notice it at all?"
