071. An impromptu dinner

At dinner time, when Scott arrives at the auditorium with his roommates, he finds that it is a little different from usual.

The food on the long table was extraordinarily rich, and the school staff had arrived for the first time.

"What's going on?"

They heard other students discussing.

"Halloween has just passed, and there's another dinner?"

"Whatever, maybe something good is happening?"

"A good thing? Are you referring to the fact that Filch was killed by Potter? ”

"Don't you know, that cat isn't dead at all!"

Scott saw Eddie's "everyone is drunk and I'm sober" expression and whispered to him, "Hey, Scott, this is definitely a celebration of our victory." ”

Roger smiled and said, "I think if there's praise later, it definitely won't include you, Eddie." ”

"I don't care, just give up the conspicuous honors to Scott." Eddie shrugged his shoulders, "The most important rule for me in this line of work is to keep a low profile. ”

Scott listened to him and shook his head a little amusedly.

He was tempted to ask Eddie what he was doing.

But more and more students passed by them, making them stop talking.

They walked over to the Ravenclaw table and sat down to greet the people sitting nearby.

Scott heard quite a few Ravenclaw students still discussing what had happened before.

Whether it's the magic of petrifying the cat, or the magic of leaving indelible glowing handwriting on the wall, they are very interested in researching.

"It's dinner again, I don't know when I'll be able to leave." Milton said in a sudden trance.

Scott turned his head to look at him, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Oh, I'm fine." Milton smiled again.

Scott could tell that his mind was drifting somewhere.

At this time, Roger said to Milton with a serious face, "Are you in a hurry to go to the classical music club to listen to that piece of unknown origin?" I've already said that you'd better stop doing this. ”

"As I said, she's harmless, she's just a beautiful piece of music!" Milton stubbornly said, "Or you can try to convince your girlfriend." ”

"Hey! I'm worried about you! Roger looked at him disapprovingly.

Milton's face softened, "Thank you, Roger, but we know what we're doing. You really don't have to worry, you know, you don't even know music. ”

Roger looked at him in surprise when he heard this, "You ......"

Ding Ding Ding.

Just then, Professor McGonagall, who was sitting in the faculty seat, tapped her goblet.

"Quiet." She said, "Professor Dumbledore has something to say to you. ”

Roger was forced to interrupt what was being said, and he looked a little upset.

"Ahem."

Dumbledore had already stood up and coughed twice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I advocate having this evening's dinner mainly to bring you good news."

Hearing him say this, the students at the four long tables were a little restless, they liked to hear the good news.

Only a few students in the know smiled.

"About that two days ago." Dumbledore exclaimed, "Yes, about the Slytherin Chamber and the Heirs. ”

The auditorium fell silent again, and most of the students in the room involuntarily looked at the Slytherin table.

The Slytherin students' faces all turned a little unsightly, but they all deliberately sat with their backs straight.

Only Malfoy's two big henchmen were busy stealing food from the table.

Dumbledore didn't seem to notice the students' reactions and continued to shout, "Lady Loris, that poor cat is petrified. ”

Scott was standing in the corner Filch covered his face sadly.

"But we'll be able to treat it soon."

Dumbledore turned to look at the kind-looking Humpty Dumpty Witch in the teacher's seat.

"As long as the mandrake cultivated by Professor Sprout matures, we can revive it."

Professor Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff House and professor of herbal medicine, nodded to the students.

But most of the students didn't care what was going to happen to the damn cat, and they were urging Dumbledore with their eyes, expecting him to say something more exciting.

"Oh, looks like you'd like to hear about the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets."

Dumbledore nodded, very talkative.

"Forgive me, I'm a little verbose when I'm older."

He continued: "Of course, today's dinner is to celebrate that we have completely lifted the threat of the Chamber of Secrets. ”

He seemed to be deliberately trying to hang his appetite, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the students, who even started banging on the table in protest.

"Quiet!"

Professor McGonagall exclaimed.

She glanced sternly, and the students immediately fell silent again.

Dumbledore took the opportunity to pick up his cup and take a sip of his drink before continuing.

"Someone...... Yes, I have learned the truth of the matter. ”

He put down the cup in his hand.

"A man with bad intentions secretly put a dark magic item belonging to Voldemort into the schoolyard. That evil magical object took control of a certain student at the school, and that's the truth of the matter. ”

By the time he said the name "Voldemort," the auditorium had fallen silent.

Scott even saw that many of the students shivered involuntarily and turned pale.

"Here, I need to give praise to a few students." Dumbledore continued nonchalantly.

Scott suddenly had a bad premonition.

Isn't it, to be publicly praised?

He had a gut feeling that this was a nuisance, a nuisance.

"First of all, Mr. Trollope of Ravenclaw, and the two Weasleys of Gryffindor." Dumbledore called three more men.

The Ravenclaw students all looked at Scott curiously, wondering what he had done.

Scott sat in his seat, not moving.

He turned his head to look at Gryffindor, where George and Fred were already standing up and waving at him.

"Oh, please call us George and Fred, Professor." George said to Dumbledore.

Fred gestured to their other two brothers, "There are four of Mr. Weasleys here!" ”

The Gryffindor students laughed, and Dumbledore smiled and nodded at them.

"These three clever gentlemen helped find important clues to solve this incident, and for that, I want to add 100 points to each of them!" At this point, he took the lead in clapping.

Scott couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, Dumbledore didn't say exactly what they did.

If it was known that he had created the "shock body" that had shocked the whole of Hogwarts, he would probably have to fight Voldemort and the Death Eaters to the death.

"Scott, what did you find?"

"Scott, tell us about it!"

The people sitting around Scott asked.

"No, we were just lucky to have some clues......" Scott replied somewhat perfunctorily.

While Scott was busy dealing with the curious Ravenclaws, Dumbledore began to praise Potter again.

"Harry Potter, who bravely joined me and two other professors in an adventurous battle, and risked his life to help us immensely in the process."

Dumbledore said happily.

"For that, I'm going to add 200 points to him!"

At the Gryffindor table, the students immediately cheered loudly.
