In the end, Dumbledore didn't tell him about Voldemort and became the Riddler.

"By the way, I guessed right, you can actually use the Sword of Gryffindor," he changed the subject with a smile, "What a surprise. Filius has always said that you are a standard Ravenclaw. ”

"This ...... What is the relationship between the two? ”

"If you want you to be evidence that you belong to Gryffindor, Ricardo, then I suggest you take a serious look at this."

Dumbledore's hand crossed over and took the silver sword from the Sorting Hat and handed him to Ricardo.

Ricardo turned it properly, the red gem glittering in the firelight. Then he saw the name engraved under the hilt. "Godric Gryffindor".

"Only a real Gryffindor can pull this out of his hat, Ricardo." Professor Dundedo said briefly.

For a moment, none of them said anything.

"Is Gryffindor a god?" Ricardo asked suddenly.

"Hmm...... Probably not. ”

"Okay. Then I'll have to go back. ”

In fact, Ricardo knew very well that Voldemort must not be dead, after all, in the memory of the Dark Arts, Voldemort created several Horcruxes.

Presumably Dumbledore thought he didn't know this and didn't want to tell him too much, so he was vague.

Ricciardo was just testing Dumbledore's attitude towards him. Now it seems that Dumbledore doesn't necessarily trust him much, so he doesn't need to talk too much to Dumbledore.

After Ricardo left, Dumbledore let out a long exhale, flicking his wand and dancing the scene where he had stopped Voldemort in Little Hunton a year earlier.

"The Blake traitor was slandered and imprisoned...... It seems that there is another hidden meaning in that incident. ”

"Nothing big lately...... Let's just find out about it. ”

……

The auditorium was decorated in green and silver representing Slytherin to celebrate their seventh consecutive year of winning the House Cup. On the wall behind the guest of honor stood a large banner depicting Slytherin snakes.

There was a sudden silence in the auditorium—it was Harry Potter walking in, and suddenly everyone started talking loudly again.

"I heard that this little guy saved the world once again?" Flitwick looked at Harry, but his view was blocked by the people who stood up and stared at Harry.

"Not really." Ricardo smiled indifferently and said in his heart, the name is on the head.

Strictly speaking, it is indeed him, but what does he want to do with such a false name? Isn't Dumbledore taking him to Nicol Lemay a stealth deal?

He is now satisfied with the basic food and clothing problems, and gaining stronger strength is what he needs to do now.

Moments later, Dumbledore arrived, and the noise in the Great Hall had subsided.

"Another year has passed!" Dumbledore said gleefully, "Before I can indulge in these delicacies, I must trouble everyone to listen to an old man's cliché." ”

"What a wonderful year! Your little brains must be a little richer than they used to be. There is a whole summer vacation waiting for you ahead, so that you can digest those things before the start of the next semester, so that your mind can be free now. ”

"As far as I know, we first had to have a ceremony to win the House Cup, and the specific scores for each house were as follows: fourth, Gryffindor, three hundred and seventy-two points; third, Hufflepuff, 356 points; Ravenclaw 422 and Slytherin 532. ”

The Slytherin table erupted in thunderous cheers and stamping, and many people banged on the table with their goblets, except for Kassandra, who still had a sneer on her lips.

A pair of twins beside her stood up as if they wanted to cheer, and when they saw her appearance, they sat down with a grimace.

"yes, yes, good job," Dumbledore said, "but a few things that have happened recently must be taken into account as well. ”

The Great Hall became very quiet, and the Slytherins' smiles narrowed a little.

"Uh, uh," Dumbledore cleared his throat, "I have some final points to distribute." Let me see. Right to the first item, Mr. Ron Weasley......"

The boy who was knocked unconscious by the chess piece received fifty points. Hermione the Lion's Head gets fifty points. Sixty points for Harry the Savior.

Gryffindor was on Slytherin level with Slytherin in minutes.

The noise was simply deafening. The students who shouted hoarsely while still mentally calculating their scores knew that Gryffindor was now exactly the same as Slytherin's. They were close to winning the House Cup - if only Dumbledore had given Harry a point.

Dumbledore held up a hand. The auditorium fell silent again.

"There are many kinds of courage," Dumbledore smiled, "and it takes superhuman courage to take on enemies, and it takes a lot of courage to stand your ground in front of your friends. Therefore, I would like to reward Mr. Neville Longbottom with ten-"

If anyone were standing outside the auditorium at this moment, they might have thought that there had been an explosion here, and the cheers at the Gryffindor table were rising higher and higher. The Gryffindors stood up and cheered, and Neville, who had been a martyr, turned pale with astonishment, and was overwhelmed by the crowd that had rushed up to hug him.

This meant that Dumbledore had to shout loudly to drown out the thunderous cheers, as even the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students were celebrating the sudden defeat of Slytherin.

"We need to make some small changes to the décor here."

He clapped his hands, and in an instant, those green dangling streamers turned bright red, and the silver ones golden; The giant Slytherin snake disappeared and was replaced by a majestic Gryffindor lion. Snape shook Professor McGonagall's hand, an awkward smile on his face.

Ricciardo glanced apprehensively at the Slytherin seats, and saw that they were either angry or panicked, only Kassandra had a flat face - but that didn't mean she wasn't angry, on the contrary, Ricciardo only felt that her anger was building up in the cheers of the three houses in front of her.

She saw Ricardo and raised an eyebrow at him.

The bright red lips raised slightly, and for a moment, Ricardo really saw the three points of unruly arrogance and four points of ridicule in it.

It's like, fresh clothes are angry horses, and girls are arrogant.

The applause gradually stopped, and everyone began to enjoy their food, when a slow applause suddenly erupted from the Slytherin seats.

- Kassandra Wore.

She clapped unhurriedly, keeping everyone's eyes on her.

For a while, everyone was puzzled, this ...... Didn't Slytherin lose?

Suddenly, the twins next to her looked at each other, nodded, and did the same—in sync with Kassandra.

Then, as if suddenly realized, all the Slytherins applauded along with Kassandra, and the hundreds of people clapped in unison.

"Smack, smack, smack......"

The applause echoed through the Great Hall of Hogwarts, abrupt and strange, like some ancient ritual. The professor and the students of the other three houses were stunned, staring blankly at the clapping Slytherins.

The strange atmosphere lasted for about a minute, and Kassandra stood up, her hands pressed to her feet, and Slytherin tacitly stopped applauding and looked at the leading girl.

She didn't say anything, looked around the Hogwarts Great Hall, and finally met Dumbledore's blue eyes, held her head high, let out a sneer, and left her seat.

- She didn't attend the next banquet.

As if they understood something, the Slytherin students stood up one after the other, looked around in a domineering manner, and then left the scene with a sneer, one by one, making a silent accusation.

According to the Sorting Hat's recollections, it was the first time in history that an entire house had been absent from a Hogwarts final party.
