Chapter 426: Dinner

"I'll just say, why do you think the two of them are avoiding me........." Louis said depressedly.

"Look .........."

"Give them another 10,000 Galleons, but half of their income will be deducted from the future. Louis thought for a moment and said.

"Understood, young master. The little maid said.

Louis yawned and returned to his private dormitory, and finally finished his busy day, and went straight to bed.

The next morning, the little maid entered Louis's dormitory and found him sleeping in his robe.

"Master, it's time to get up. The little maid nudged Louis gently.

"Let me sleep for another five minutes........." Louis lay on the bed without moving.

"Young Master..... If you don't go on, you won't have breakfast. The little maid reminded.

"Got it........" Louis muttered as he sat up.

Served by the little maid, Louis yawned and sat down at the Slytherin table.

Just as he was about to enjoy his breakfast, Hermione walked up to him.

"Louis, are you alright?" asked Hermione, slightly worried.

"Thank you for your concern, Hermione. Louis smiled and said, "As you can see, I'm fine, just a little sleepy." ”

"That's good...... I heard from Harry last night that you ran into a mysterious man........ Thank you for coming up with such a good solution......." Hermione looked at Louis with some admiration.

In private, Louis was very happy. But now the little maid was sitting beside him eating breakfast, and though her eyes were not fixed on them, it was evident that not a word of what they were saying could escape her ears.

"Ahem...... Did you come to me for something, Hermione?" asked Louis with a dry cough.

"Oh, yes. Hermione seemed to suddenly remember something, "I know how Rita eavesdropped on us, Louis." ”

"Rita?" Louis looked at Hermione with some confusion, he shouldn't know the person with that name.

"Rita Skeeter, have you forgotten, Louis?" asked Hermione, a little depressed, she had just settled the matter and wanted Louis to know, but Louis had forgotten about it.

"Who is she?" asked Louis, a little embarrassed. He really forgot that he had been busy with Triwizard Tournament and Voldemort lately, and he really couldn't be distracted by anything else.

"It's the Daily Prophet reporter, you asked me to help with the investigation, remember?" asked Hermione.

"Oh, it's her?" said Louis, who remembered that there was such a person. But I haven't seen her come out to make trouble lately, so I forgot that there was such a thing.

"Do you know how she eavesdropped on other people's secrets?" asked Hermione, slightly cryptically.

"How?" asked Louis with interest.

"She's actually an Animagus, an Animagus who isn't registered with the Ministry of Magic!, and the animal she transforms into is a small beetle!" Hermione said with a look on her face, and she complimented me.

"I see, no wonder she knows so easily........." Louis said thoughtfully.

"The young master is also an Animagus~" The little maid on the side suddenly said in a loud voice.

"What, Louis, you're Animagus too?" Hermione looked at Louis with a twinkle in her eyes.

You must know that the Animagus in the wizarding world can be said to be very rare, let alone a fourth-year student like Luis.

"Uh..... That's true......." Louis said with a wry smile. Although he didn't want to keep it a secret at first, since the successful transformation, he really planned to give up his transformation.

"What can you become, Louis?" Hermione stared at Louis curiously, she had always regarded Louis as her competitor. Suddenly, her opponent suddenly opened up the gap between herself and herself, and she can now be said to be very concerned about this.

"It's an animal......" Louis said vaguely.

"The young master hides the animal he transformed into very well, and even I don't know it. The little maid looked at Louis and said, "I think only Professor McGonagall, who helped the young master learn Animagus, will know what will become of the young master." ”

Hermione was even more curious. Looking at the way Luis looks, he doesn't look like he wants to keep it a secret as an Animagus. But strangely, he doesn't know why he is so secretive about the animals he transforms into.

In the curiosity of Hermione and the little maid, Louis still stuck to his heart and did not reveal his transformation.

After a day's work, Louis and the little maid entered the hall to prepare for the last dinner of the semester at school.

When they entered the hall, they found that the things they had used to decorate were gone. And, the convention of decorating the hall with the flags of the winning colleges was replaced by a black curtain.

When Luis sat down in his seat, he could clearly see that the atmosphere was very heavy. The last dinner party, which used to be lively and lively, actually became silent.

Dumbledore got up from his chair, he didn't even need to cast a voice reinforcement spell on himself.

"I think some of the students already know why this dinner party has become so special. Dumbledore said in a deep voice, "Hogwarts won the Triwizard Tournament and should have celebrated, but it didn'........"

"Yes, the Ministry of Magic doesn't want me to tell you that, and that's .......... Voldemort is back............"

A nervous voice rang out in the auditorium.

It was unrealistic to ask these teenage students to be more composed, and Dumbledore had long been mentally prepared.

"The Ministry of Magic and some of the students' parents think you're still young....... I'm not supposed to tell you about it. Perhaps, they don't want to believe that Voldemort has returned. ..........," Dumbledore continued, as if he hadn't heard the discussion below, "but I've always believed that truth is always better than lies. If we don't even have the courage to face our fears, that's the most terrible thing to do!"

The students in the Great Hall almost all looked towards Dumbledore, their faces almost filled with fear and shock. Of course, apart from Malfoy's group of people whose own dad worked under Voldemort, they didn't need to worry about that.

If Voldemort had won, they would have fallen to Voldemort and would have nothing to lose. If Voldemort had failed in the end, they had also believed that Dumbledore would not have made a move against their "unsuspecting" students. After all, it was Dumbledore, not Voldemort.
