On the last day of the semester, the school ushered in a sumptuous dinner.

The auditorium is decorated with blue and bronze curtains to celebrate Ravenclaw College's victory in the House Cup this year.

The Ravenclaw students were thrilled, they hadn't had the trophy in 10 years, and they didn't expect to get their wish this year.

Although the House Cup has completely taken on the shape of other houses, the Kitty Hawks don't mind, as long as they can touch the trophy, their student days will be complete.

At least not like some college students, from enrollment to graduation, they haven't touched it once...... It's pathetic.

(Little Lion: Meow?) ）

The Hufflepuff students had a hard time, they were in second place, only fifty-eight points less than Ravenclaw.

If it weren't for the cancellation of the Quidditch final, without the bulk of this extra point, the badger house would definitely be the first...... It can only be said that blood loss!

Of course, even without a Quidditch match, Hufflepuff still had a chance to catch up, but Snape killed the game!

In the last class, he deducted a few more points from the Hufflepuff students, making the contest completely unsuspenseful.

Professor Snape doesn't have much ill will towards Hufflepuff, but the Badger House hasn't forgiven them for stopping Slytherin from winning seven consecutive titles last year!

Therefore, Snape could not have allowed Hufflepuff to win two consecutive titles, if nothing else, to suppress Hufflepuff's arrogance.

As for Slytherin House, as the third, it is firmly pressed on the head of Gryffindor.

There's nothing to say about it, Harry and Ron alone have deducted more than four hundred points, and Gryffindor can rank fourth, and that's because there are only four houses!

Ravenclaw won the House Cup, but Professor Flitwick, as the dean, did not have much joy on his face, and he could only sigh as he looked at the students who were celebrating...... Too young, too simple!

Sure enough, at the beginning of the dinner, Professor Dumbledore stood up, and he raised his arm to signal everyone to be quiet.

When the Ravenclaw students saw this familiar scene, they all had a hint of something bad in their hearts.

"It's the end of another school year, and so many things have happened during this period, and I am so emotional!" Dumbledore's voice was deep.

"First of all, it's a shame that Professor Lockhart has been attacked and is leaving us, and the school needs a new teacher to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts class.

Oh my God, the teacher in this class is depleting so fast, isn't he? ”

It was a sad thing that Professor Lockhart was gone, but the students couldn't help but laugh...... Even if you have to deduct ten years of merit for this!

It's not enough for him to be a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and to provoke Mrs. Sabini, under this double death buff, it's hard to live.

Sabini, who was sitting in Slytherin, was the most filial, and Lockhart wanted to be his father, and he was a little tender!

"The killers who attacked Professor Lockhart, the administrators, and the students, I think you all know who they are." Dumbledore continued.

George and Fred shouted in unison, "Peter Pettigrew! ”

"That's right, that's right, a traitor who has been dead for eleven years and is considered a 'hero' by us." Dumbledore paused slightly, and said with a serious face:

"Peter has been hiding in Hogwarts all these years, waiting for the right moment to continue his evil."

The little wizards exchanged their heads and ears.

"In the same way, as an innocent man, a hero who once fought against Voldemort, was imprisoned as a prisoner in Azkaban." Dumbledore said softly:

"It also tells us that you can never easily evaluate a person until you really understand him."

Hearing the name Voldemort, many students shuddered.

"I've just noticed that quite a few people are still scared when they hear that name, but I want to say ......" Dumbledore looked around and raised his voice:

"Be brave, and don't be afraid of Voldemort, for he is afraid of us, even more than we are afraid of him!"

Everyone stared at the old man in a daze.

Dumbledore's face was serious, and he said in an accentuated tone:

"Voldemort failed once, eleven years ago...... And it was a fiasco, he was not invincible, but a lost dog!

”

Why, then, should we be so afraid? So scared that he didn't dare to mention his name? ”

"As the last dinner of the semester, I want to teach you a truth...... Always use the correct name for a thing. The fear of a name reinforces the fear of the thing itself. ”

I don't know who suddenly shouted "Voldemort", and then more shouts rang out, albeit sparsely, but still spread to the other tables.

In the end, the entire auditorium was full of "Voldemort", and the sound was endless.

There was a dead silence at the Slytherin table, but Malfoy's blood was surging and his mind was blank, and he somehow shouted involuntarily:

"Voldemort!"

All the Slytherin students turned their heads to look at Malfoy, who turned pale and immediately shut up, eager to slap himself.

Is this something that can be shouted? I don't want to live anymore!

But the roars of hundreds of people grew louder and louder, and finally spread throughout the castle, so that the shouts could be faintly heard in the distant village of Hogsmeade.

Many wizards walked out of the house and looked towards Hogwarts......

What's going on? Are the Death Eaters doing team building?!

Report it to the Ministry of Magic!

In the Great Hall, Dumbledore pressed his arm, and the shouting slowly stopped, and he said in a deep voice:

"I've seen reports lately about Sirius Black's suffering over the years, praising his greatness and marveling at his extraordinaryness.

I don't deny it, but I'd rather say ......"

"Never believe that suffering is praiseworthy, suffering is suffering, suffering does not lead to success, suffering is not worth pursuing, tempering the will because suffering cannot be avoided."

"Therefore, I earnestly ask of you." Dumbledore looked at all the students with blazing eyes.

"If you encounter any grievances, if you suffer any injustice, if you encounter any bullying, you must tell the dean, or tell me.

We will find out the facts and help you uphold justice, instead of gritting your teeth and bearing it yourself, let alone suffering silently, even if we can make up for it later, but ......"

"Justice delayed is also injustice!"

The students applauded desperately, and Hermione, the leader in this area, was introducing the complaints she had written to the principal's mailbox to her classmates.

Harry and Ron were also whispering about whether to complain about Snape?

"Finally, as the hero who captured Peter Pettigrew - Mr. Rov Scamander."

Dumbledore's blue eyes looked at the boy, and he smiled and said:

"I would like to thank and pay tribute to him once again for his keen wisdom, fearless courage and extraordinary courage to bring a good man to justice and bring a bad man to justice."

Dumbledore raised his glass in a salute to Rove.

The students were amazed, and many speculated that it was Rove, but this was the first time anyone had been sure of this.

Everyone stood up and raised their glasses towards Rove, who smiled as he picked up his glass.

"For this, I'd like to award Hufflepuff House two hundred points, as well as another special contribution to the school." Dumbledore shouted.

The cheers of the Hufflepuffs rang out, nearly knocking the ceiling over.

"That means ......," Dumbledore said, waving his wand, "we need to make some small changes to the décor here." ”

The blue draping ribbons turned black and gold, and a majestic dense badger appeared on the ceiling.

But no one cared about the House Cup, and everyone rushed over to ask how Rove had caught Peter.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and Filch, who had just recovered his health, rushed in, stammering and shouting:

"Headmaster, there are a lot of Aurors at the gate of the castle, and they have surrounded the castle, saying that they want to capture the Death Eaters......"

“……”
