She was gone, and Harry and Ron stared at Dumbledore uneasily. What did Professor McGonagall mean by that - dealing with them - should they - should they be punished?

"I remember I seemed to say to both of you that if you break the school rules again, I'm going to have to expel you. Dumbledore said.

Ron's mouth opened wide in horror. Phoenix didn't care.

This shows that even the best of us can sometimes only talk. Dumbledore continued with a smile, "All three of you have received awards for special contributions to the school, and—let me think, by the way, each of you has earned two hundred points for your respective houses. Ron's face suddenly turned bright pink, like Lockhart's Valentine's Day flowers for everyone, and his mouth was closed.

Now Gryffindor has become the champion of the House Cup, due to the constant attacks, the teachers are very nervous, and they rarely ask questions in class, Phoenix has not been able to get many points, originally relied on Quidditch to win points, this year it should be Slytherin to win, now Gryffindor is just a little ahead of Slytherin.

"But one of us was eerily silent about this thrilling adventure. Dumbledore added, "Why are you so humble, Gildero?"

Harry was startled. He had completely forgotten about Lockhart. He turned around and saw Lockhart standing in the corner of the room, still with that warm smile on his face. When Dumbledore asked him a question, Lockhart turned his head to see who Dumbledore was talking to.

"Professor Dumbledore," Ron said quickly, "there's an accident in the Chamber of Secrets below. Professor Lockhart—"

"Why, I'm a professor?" Lockhart said with a slight surprise, "God, I didn't think I was going to be very good!"

He tried to cast an amnesia spell, but his wand fired backwards. Ron whispered to Dumbledore.

"My God," Dumbledore said, shaking his head, his long, silver-white beard trembling slightly, "Gildero, you were stabbed by your own sword?"

"Sword?" Lockhart said, confused, "I don't have a sword." The boy has a sword," he pointed to Phoenix, "and he'll lend you one." ”

"Excuse me, can you get Professor Lockhart to the hospital as well?" Dumbledore said to Phoenix and Ron, "I'd like to have a few more words with Harry—" Lockhart walked out with brisk steps. As Ron closed the door, he glanced back at Dumbledore and Harry curiously. Phoenix asked Ron to deliver it, and he went straight back to the common room.

As soon as he reached the corner of the stairs, Lucius appeared with a house-elf covered in bandages. His expression was furious, and he saw Phoenix pause, barely squeezing out a smile.

"Good evening, Phoenix. ”

"Good evening, Uncle Lucius. There's something important about getting to school so late, right?" Phoenix looked away from the elf.

"Deal with some mess-"

"I think what's happened this year is a bit of a mess. Fortunately, there were no casualties. Phoenix stared at his face.

"It's a blessing. He said unnaturally.

"Good luck!" Phoenix nodded, not saying anything more. Since it was the Horcrux that caused these events, there must have been some Death Eater who secretly stuffed it into Ginny. However, he believed that Voldemort had not fully revealed the importance of the diary to him - Voldemort had almost been resurrected this time, and it was a bit of a mistake.

He speculated that it had something to do with Lucius, who was very trusted by Voldemort during the last war, and could have been entrusted with the custody of such an important item. Now that his master has not known his life and death for more than ten years, it is not wise to take the risk of keeping a dangerous dark magic object - the conflict at the Blotted Bookstore that day, Phoenix suddenly thought.

Phoenix smiled and shook his head, the matter was settled anyway. In contrast, he now truly believed that Voldemort would come back sooner or later. It seems that his father's judgment was wrong, and England is not peaceful.

Everyone in the common room whispered in their pajamas, and Snape had just given a brief explanation of the situation, and everyone was going to the auditorium to celebrate.

As soon as Phoenix returned, he immediately became the focus of attention, in fact, this matter was very embarrassing for everyone in Slytherin, Phoenix had a high status in Slytherin, but took Potter to kill the Slytherin heir or his dark magic object.

It's a bit like a parent fighting, completely overwhelmed, and it doesn't seem appropriate to say anything.

But in the end, driven by curiosity, he asked about the process in the secret room, and Phoenix picked and chose and concisely retold the story again. He noticed that Greengrass was looking at him with a strange look, as if it were a strange mixture of regret and admiration.

I have to say that in any banquet in previous years, there has never been one so wonderful as today. Everyone was dressed in pajamas, and the festivities continued throughout the evening. The 400 points Harry and Ron had earned Gryffindor the House Cup, Professor McGonagall stood up and told them that the school had decided to cancel the exam for the sake of hospitality, and Dumbledore announced that Professor Lockhart would not be able to return next semester because he needed to find his memories elsewhere. With so many exciting things to do, I really don't know which one is the most wonderful and wonderful.

The rest of the summer semester was spent in a dazzling sunshine. Hogwarts is back to normal, with only a few minor changes: Defence Against the Dark Arts classes have been cancelled, but for Phoenix it doesn't matter. Lucius Malfoy "decently" transferred his seat on the school board to Melinda's father, and Draco didn't seem to know what was going on and didn't react to it.

In the blink of an eye, they were about to take the Hogwarts Express home. Phoenix, Melinda, Draco, Nott, Blais, and other Slytherins close to him sat together and celebrated, Phoenix's paper, which was about to be published in Transfiguration Today. The newspaper has replied that it will be published on the front page of the next issue. The paper elaborates on the feasibility of turning a man into a magical creature, and in the middle of it is a report on the treatment of a polyjuice decoction with Hermione's name anonymized, and the addition of cat hair, written by Madame Ponferret. Because cats are in many ways the same as cats and raccoons, the two can also be crossbred together. Finally, the paper describes the feasibility of turning spells into magical creatures with spells and potions, respectively, and spells are superior to potions in many ways.

He sat by the window, not very excited. Voldemort had made more than one Horcrux, making him realize that the next war might not be too far away. Do you want to help him, sooner or later he has to fight, while his father can still control the situation, let him and Dumbledore fight a lose-lose situation-

"What's wrong?" Melinda noticed him staring out the window in a daze.

"I wondered if I could calm down every school year. ”

"It's not that you're nosy. Melinda still couldn't understand what he was doing.

"Obviously I had to do it. ”

The Hogwarts Express slowed down and finally stopped.

After getting off the train to say goodbye to his friends, a flame disappeared on the platform of nine and three-quarters.
