Joel couldn't stand Eddie's stalking, and told his three roommates everything that was going on underground, but many details were hidden in between, such as his own Animagus form.

The fewer people who knew about Animagus, the better, and now he was sure that only Lockhart, Harry, Ron, and Haylis knew about his Animagus form, and as for Bernie...... Joel also doesn't know if this guy was able to think for himself when he was possessed by Riddle.

In order to conceal his Animagus form, Joel describes a much thinner picture of the battle, but even so, it still causes the three roommates to scream.

"Oh my God, a 25-foot serpent?" Edby measured the distance, "Isn't it about the same width as our bedroom?" ”

"That's right, and it's going to kill you if you look at the basilisk," Alan was a little scared when he thought about it, "I guess I see that it's hard to even move." ”

Sergei nodded in agreement, although he had amazing magical talents, but actual combat was more of a test of strain and strategy, and Sergei thought that he could not be as unfazed as Joel when facing a huge basilisk.

Sergei has always been arrogant and self-controlled because of his mind and magic far beyond his peers, and he looks down on his classmates, which is why he does not communicate with his classmates, but for Joel, he is really convinced.

Starting from the sale of that set of signed books to earn the first pot of gold, the new way to play playing cards, the establishment of CLBT, the gold rush in the Soviet Union...... and then escaped from the death in this secret room, so that Sergei had to admit that his roommate was a little better than himself in all aspects.

In the evening, the four of them went downstairs to the auditorium for a dinner.

The students of the four colleges gathered together, all smiles on their faces, and after a series of events, they realized how valuable safety is.

Dumbledore sat in the middle of the teacher's chair and spoke, "Dear colleagues and students, this school year has been extremely difficult for Hogwarts, we have experienced incidents such as student petrification, injuries to faculty and staff, and so on......"

"But we survived," Dumbledore said, smiling, "during the day, we managed to find the real culprit who opened the Chamber of Secrets, and slay the monsters in it. ”

The students from the four houses in the audience applauded vigorously, Draco Malfoy's pale face flushed with excitement, and Lucius beside him looked as ugly as if he had eaten poop.

"I'd like to give a few of the students a compliment," Dumbledore was in good spirits after the break, "Harry Potter and Ron Weasley from Gryffindor House, for their courage in helping to protect their classmates, and I will reward them with 50 points each." ”

The Gryffindor students were in a mess, and the Weasley twins stepped forward and ruffled their little brother's hair.

"And Haylith Selwyn and Joel Taylor from Ravenclaw Academy, who played an important role in the fight against the Chamber of Secrets, were rewarded with 150 points each."

150 points!

Caitlin Lauer thumped the table excitedly.

This is the highest single bonus in the history of Hogwarts, and it actually appeared in their Ravenclaw House!

The 300 points directly confirmed Ravenclaw House's lead in the House Cup race, leaving the other three houses behind, and it was Catelyn's last year at Hogwarts, and it was just the right time to finish with a House Cup.

Several students who are familiar with Joel came up to congratulate them, and in addition to that, there were many elementary school girls, who took the opportunity to rub oil on Joel, who doesn't like a handsome and strong senior?

"In addition to this, I would like to thank Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, who has played a huge role in this trip to the Chamber of Secrets, and I have applied to the Order of Merlin to award Professor Lockhart the Order of Merlin, 2nd class," Dumbledore raised his glass to greet Lockhart beside him, "The teachers and students who participated in the Chamber of Secrets will receive the Hogwarts Special Contribution Award, and your photos will be kept in the prize room." ”

Lockhart took a sip of red wine happily, although he was not alone in killing the basilisk, but the reputation he gained was not much at all, Dumbledore spoke, this second-class Merlin Medal was basically decided.

"Guys, now you can enjoy a delicious meal, our semester will continue until mid-June as usual, and the petrified student teachers will wake up at the end of May when the mandrake is fully ripe." Dumbledore sat down with that, and the dinner began.

There was harmony on the four house heads' tables, and without the stress of the Chamber of Secrets, the students simply let go of the fun, even between Gryffindor and Slytherin.

Joel stuffed a piece of pie into his mouth, dealt with the schoolgirls rubbing around him, and took a sip of pumpkin juice to smooth his throat.

Beatrice Shafiq took the opportunity to lean over from the Hufflepuff table, and her eyes swept around Joel to see that Helis was not at the table, and she was reassured.

"Joel, can you tell me how you subdue the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets?" She pinched her throat and said angrily.

Joel shivered and goosebumps were rising.

“…… You speak well. ”

"Tell me what's going on in the secret room?" Beatrice returned to her normal tone, no one from Hufflepuff House had entered the Chamber of Secrets, and they could only extract information of interest from Gryffindor and Ravenclaw House.

Joel pondered for a moment, feeling that if she didn't answer Beatrice's question, she would move on to other topics that would make her even more embarrassing.

It's no secret anyway, Joel simply recounted what happened in the secret room.

Beatrice had already turned into star-eyed halfway through it, "Joel, you're so strong...... she whispered in a adoring tone.

Joel was dumbfounded, he felt the wheels run over his face again.

"Hmm...... Go talk to your classmates, I have something to say to Professor Lockhart. Joel quickly found an excuse to slip away, ignoring Beatrice's resentful eyes.

Professor Lockhart stayed in his chair honestly, and in the secret room he received a Piercing Heart Curse, although the Bernie Selwyn manipulated by Riddle was not very powerful, but after all, it was an unforgivable spell with great damage, and Lockhart could still feel a faint pain in his heart after taking the potion brewed by Snape.

Sitting next to Lockhart was Professor Trelawney, who taught divination, and apparently had no appetite, so she hurried two bites and ran back to the tower office, where she was busy with her divination.

Joel hurriedly sat down, and Professor Flitwick kindly put a plate of fried chicken thighs in front of him, and brought him a glass of juice, and then patted him on the shoulder, "You did a beautiful job today, worthy of your parents' children." ”

He exchanged a few pleasantries with his dean, then turned to talk to Professor Lockhart.

"Professor, can I ask you what you did with Hagrid earlier?"

Lockhart was prepared, "When you get to know it in the summer, I'll write everything in my book......"

"You've gone to the Forbidden Forest, haven't you? After the incident, he also changed the memory of Hagrid, the warden of the hunting ground? Joel leaned into his ear and whispered, and sure enough, he saw Professor Lockhart's pupils dilated slightly.

"You shouldn't know about this," Lockhart whispered, glancing at the other professors in the faculty chair, "what the hell are you going to do?" ”

"You know my parents, don't you?" Joel took a fried chicken leg and took a bite, the outside was covered with a layer of breadcrumbs, and the inside was full of juice, which was a model of crispy skin and tender meat, and the children next door were about to cry when they smelled the fragrance.

"It's fair to exchange information," Joel said the fried chicken thighs in the teacher's seat were no less than the Hufflepuff tables, "I'm tight-lipped about telling me about my parents." ”

Lockhart thought about it in his heart, and he didn't feel a loss.

"Your parents were already in the seventh grade when I entered school," Lockhart saw that Joel was eating very well, and he was a little greedy, snatching a chicken leg from the plate, "The two of them are very powerful, whether it is academic level or dueling ability......"

"Duel ability?"

"They used to duel in the common room and make a mess of the couch chairs," Lockhart said in a nostalgic tone, "and there were Barty Crouch, Pandora, and Xenophilius, among others, and we junior students learned a lot of practical spells from them." ”

"My parents were in seventh grade or Dietlyn, who was better?" Joel asked, Caitlin Lauer was the strongest student he'd ever met—except, of course, Tom Riddle.

"Your parents," Lockhart replied without hesitation, "they were the idols of many students at that time, and there were very few students who won the Merlin Prize and the Order of Merlin of the Second Class when they were students. ”

Joel has roughly judged the strength of the original parents of the body, which makes him mentally prepared to study the reason for the disappearance of the Meadows in the future, at least until his strength has reached a certain level before making plans.

"I don't know much about the specifics, you can go to Xenophilius Lovegood to find out, they had a good relationship when they were at school." Lockhart shrugged his shoulders and nibbled on the chicken leg in his hand.

Joel knew that Lovegood was the father of Luna, a freshman in the first year.

"By the way, Miss Pandora is ......" He does not give up on any person who may have information about the original parents of the body.

"Pandora and Xenophilius are a couple," Lockhart picked up another chop, "but I heard two years ago that Pandora died in some magical accident, and didn't their daughter also be in first grade in Ravenclaw?" ”

Joel mentally included a visit to Lovegood's house in his summer itinerary.

"Don't forget your agreement," Lockhart said before leaving, and before leaving, he didn't forget to ask Joel for a promise, "Don't tell anyone else!" ”

"I'm a man of my word," Joel laughed, "what do you think of me?" ”

Lockhart is not a bad person, but he cares too much about fame and fortune, the basilisk wants to take the credit alone, and the threat to Hagrid should also be to go to the Forbidden Forest to find some kind of creature, and write it into his new book, Joel's mouth is not so broken, and he has to say it to cut off other people's wealth.

Haylis returned to Hogwarts on the third day after the dinner, and Joel learned the news through a two-way mirror, and when he rushed to pick up people at the Hogwarts school gate, he did not find Bernie Selwyn, and it was her father who escorted Helis.

Joel naturally took Haylis's luggage from Mr. Selwyn's hand, and Mr. Selwyn's face darkened as he looked at his daughter's indifferent and even smiling expression.

"Halis, go back to your bedchamber first," said Mr. Selwyn, "Mr. Taylor, I have something to say to you. ”

Helis turned back in three steps, but finally did not dare to disobey her father's words, and disappeared into the hillside.

"First of all, I want to thank you for saving Bernie," Mr. Selwyn led him to a remote corner, where Mr. Filch, the gatekeeper, went to catch the students who had illegally entered the middle of the Black Lake, and it was only the two of them, "If you hadn't dealt with the basilisk, the consequences would have been unimaginable......

"It's nothing, Haylis's body is okay?"

Mr. Selwyn nodded, "The recovery is good, the Diamond Heart Curse is not very powerful, St. Mungo's healer prescribed a few potions, and the instructions for taking them are in the suitcase, you must urge Helis to drink the medicine honestly." ”

"Bernie's arm was also successfully recovered, and Professor Gilderoy Lockhart made a measured move, which will not affect his actions in the future," Mr. Selwyn sighed, "I talked to him, and I felt that he was not suitable to continue studying at Hogwarts, Beauxbatons was more suitable for him, France was not far from England, and I came to Hogwarts today to see off Haylis, and secondly, to transfer Bernie." ”

Joel was silent, he could understand Mr. Selwyn's approach, three days had passed since the incident in the Chamber of Secrets, and speculation about the real culprit behind the scenes had intensified, and most people's suspicions were Bernie Selwyn, who had his arm cut off and was in the Chamber of Secrets at the time, but Professor Dumbledore never mentioned Bernie's name from beginning to end, which was unreasonable.

If Bernie had returned to Hogwarts after healing his arm and was confronted with the skeptical gazes of his classmates, he would have been in a worse position at school than before, and it would have made sense to transfer schools.

"Listen," Selwyn took a step forward and lightly touched the sapphire brooch on Joel's school robe, which was a Christmas present from Haylis when he was in first grade, "I'm not against you dating Haylis, but you are still young and should be focused on other more important things." ”

“…… I understand," Joel nodded, "don't worry, I won't delay Haylis." ”

Seeing that this kid was so sensible, Mr. Selwyn finally breathed a sigh of relief, now that the Selwyn family has only one heir, Helis is the heir, if he wastes his time and studies because of his relationship with boys, then he really wants to cry without tears.
