072. Two or three things that happened at the dinner party

After Dumbledore said the extra points, Eddie couldn't help but say to Scott, "It's not fair! Gryffindor scored a total of 400 points! ”

Scott smiled absently and didn't tell him that it wasn't over yet.

Dumbledore pressed his hands down to signal for silence and continued, "In addition to that, I have decided to award Harry Potter a Hogwarts Special Contribution Award!" ”

With that, he took the lead in applauding again.

The Gryffindor students cheered even louder, clapping and stomping their feet, looking elated.

Scott saw Potter excited to hug his two friends.

He also noticed that both Professor Flitwick and Professor Snape in the faculty were unhappy.

Roger was also dissatisfied, and said, "You deserve a special contribution award too, Scott." ”

"I don't care." Scott whispered, "Potter should be the nemesis of the Mystery." ”

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

"That's what you think?" He said to Scott, "Originally, I wanted to publicize your exploits for you in private, but now it seems that it is better to forget it." ”

Scott stared at him expressionlessly.

This guy almost killed him!

Eddie immediately apologizes to Scott.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that." He smiled wryly, "You're right, or safety is the most important thing." ”

Scott nodded in 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, had a new move.

"Professor."

A Slytherin student stood up suddenly.

Scott looked over and saw that it was the wizard who had taken over Malfoy's attack on Message the previous morning, Strierna in seventh grade.

Strierner looked like a suave man, and he bowed to the teacher's seat with good manners.

"Strierna is really good at pretending." Eddie whispered, "He's said to be a grumpy guy in private. ”

Strierner said to Dumbledore, "I wonder if you can tell us what the Slytherin Chamber is all about. ”

"yes."

Scott heard a lot of people whispering.

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

He looked at the teacher's box again and saw that Snape was staring at Strierner.

He had even curled up his upper lip, but for some reason he didn't open his mouth to stop it.

At this point, Dumbledore stood up again.

"Okay, I think I'd tell you all about it. Although some professors think that this is not necessary and can even cause panic. "But I think I should tell you." ”

Next, he started with the events of fifty years ago.

Voldemort secretly opened the Chamber of Secrets during his school day and killed a Ravenclaw schoolgirl, but blamed Hagrid.

When he said this, Hagrid, who was sitting on the side, couldn't stop crying.

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

Scott frowned at the scene and quickly looked away.

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

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

Many people were already terrified when they heard that basilisk's eyes could kill people, and they were glad that the professors had dealt with the monster.

Especially the Muggle-born little wizards, who slapped their palms red.

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

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

"No, Professor."

Strierna sat down with an ugly face.

"Those Slytherin guys acquiesced." Eddie lowered his voice and said in surprise, "They assume that Salazar Slytherin left the basilisk to get rid of Muggle-born students!" ”

At this moment, William Brown, who was sitting across the long table, suddenly looked up and said to him, "That's what the purebloods themselves think, they want the basilisk to kill us." ”

The seventh-grade wizard once proposed himself to Lisa Dupin as a defender, and Scott was impressed by him.

"While it is not known why Slytherin left the basilisk behind, he didn't want to bloodwash the school." Scott accosted him, "I talked to Ms. Gray about that. ”

William Brown sneered, "Those people 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 previous school year, tells us that although Voldemort has disappeared for the time being, the dangers he left behind are not really far away from us. Everyone should be vigilant about this. ”

With that, he sat down again.

Scott was a little surprised that he didn't mention that the Falling Demons could make a comeback at any time, but anyway, the dinner was finally ready to be eaten.

He struck up a conversation with William Brown over a meal, and the two quickly became acquainted.

Scott learns that William also comes from a Muggle family, and that his parents are both well-known lawyers in London.

"From a young age, I aspired to be a more successful barrister than my parents." He said to Scott, "Ever since I came to the wizarding world, I've been stunned by the backward and barbaric legal system here! ”

"The irrationality of wizards is reflected in every aspect, even many of the laws of the Ministry of Magic are arbitrarily drafted!"

He had a strange expression on his face, and he looked a little crying and laughing.

"At that time, on the one hand, I looked down on such a deformed legal system, and on the other hand, I was snickering at the many legal loopholes."

Scott nodded knowingly.

Lawyers, they're all good at taking advantage of legal loopholes.

"I was so ambitious that I thought I could open a law firm in the wizarding world, which had never been done in the wizarding world in England!"

William was a very eloquent fellow, and he said a lot in a moment.

He told Scott in detail about his career plans.

Although he is also a talker, unlike Eddie's mouth-full running train, William speaks clearly and logically.

After talking about his plan, he shook his head again, "I quickly realized that my plan was not going to work. ”

With a look of disgust on his face, he said, "Those guys, the upper echelons of the wizarding world hold the legislative power of various departments of the Ministry of Magic, and they have even left countless loopholes for themselves. ”

He spread his hands helplessly.

"In short, the laws of the wizarding world are flexible, and those people have countless reasons not to follow the law. They talk about human feelings and morality, but they don't talk about the law! Lawyers are the most useless profession here! ”

Scott asked him curiously, "You're graduating soon, would you choose to go back to the Muggle world and become a lawyer?" ”

"I don't know." William looked a little confused, "Whether it's the wizarding world or the Muggle world now, I feel out of place. ”

That's where Muggle-born wizards are now, Scott thought.

It is not easy to survive in the wizarding world, and you can only become the bottom. In the Muggle world, they are again being shackled by the Law of Secrecy.

Seriously, there was no real place 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?" "It's unimaginable," he said. ”

Scott couldn't help but think of himself, too.

Truth be told, he doesn't have a clear plan for the future right now.

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

But to make him at the bottom of the wizarding world, he would rather go home and inherit the 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 trance, "I have to hurry up and go to the classical music club, I don't know when that piece will disappear, I'm afraid I won't have time to record her completely." ”

Scott was even more surprised, "With your ability, can't you remember it by listening to it once?" ”

"Nope." Milton shook his head, "She changes every day, and it's getting better and better!" ”

After he finished speaking, he turned and hurried away.

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

They were obviously all members of the Classical Music Club.

"Something is absolutely wrong!" Roger said with some annoyance.

He looked at the backs of those people leaving with some concern, and said to Scott and Eddie unhappily, "That music is so weird, don't those guys notice it at all?" ”
