Chapter 210 Winning The Outstanding Contribution Award Again, Professor Mcgonagall’S Apology
Wayne's pupils suddenly contracted when he heard that Dumbledore actually wanted to take him to Nurmengard.
no
Did he make Lao Deng anxious?
Isn't it just to resurrect a Tom...Looking at this posture, Dumbledore is planning to hire foreign aid?
It's a bit too bullying of Tom...
"Professor" Wayne calmed down and smiled sheepishly.
"It wouldn't be appropriate for me to follow you, wouldn't it disturb your world together?"
Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, he couldn't even laugh or cry, and secretly scolded Newt for being old and disrespectful, for telling the child everything.
Wayne knows the relationship between him and Grindelwald, so how can he carry out his work as the principal?
Dumbledore smiled bitterly and said: "I just want Grindelwald to see what is going on with the Horcrux, and to speculate on Tom's current status."
"When it comes to dark magic, perhaps he is the only one in the world who can rival Voldemort."
"Grindelwald also has strong prophecy ability, and he might be able to find Tom's location.
"It's not what you think at all. It's just to reminisce about old times."
Wayne nodded understandingly.
He also guessed Dumbledore's purpose.
This is not because Dumbledore is being humble and putting himself below Grindelwald, but the two have different political directions.
Grindelwald is better at dark magic, while Dumbledore is better at transfiguration and charms.
Of course, this does not mean that Dumbledore has no talent for black magic. On the contrary, his talent for black magic is still very high, and he once impressed Grindelwald.
But after Ariana's accident, Lao Deng became disheartened and rarely touched black magic.
"I understand, Professor." Wayne said, "Just let me know in advance when you are going to leave."
Wayne has also been curious about this first-generation Dark Lord who is not the Dark Lord.
Even if Dumbledore doesn't take him there, maybe one day Wayne will go to Newmond Tower to pay his respects on a whim.
"Thank you for your help. The time will be next Saturday morning." Dumbledore nodded and walked into the auditorium, followed by Wayne.
The dinner began.
Maybe it's to celebrate the end of the nightmare, or maybe it's to celebrate the petrified victim regaining consciousness.
Today’s dinner was extraordinarily sumptuous, almost in time for Christmas and the back-to-school dinner.
Hufflepuff is a long table, and Wayne barely needs to use a knife and fork, and the little badgers around him will bring food to his plate.
"Ah!"
Wayne opened his mouth, and Hannah, who was sitting next to him, put the sliced beef ribs into his mouth.
"Can you speak now?"
Grace looked at him angrily: "You are almost a young master, and all the girls in the hospital are waiting for you to eat alone."
Wayne pursed his lips, and Grace put another piece of pasta into his mouth.
After eating, Wayne said with satisfaction: "It would be great if I could do this every day from now on.
Hearing this, Cedric's eyes turned red again.
You really deserve to die. Not only did you take over the most beautiful girls in several grades, but you also extended your claws to other girls.
You don't care about your brother's life or death at all, right?
"Stop talking nonsense, tell me quickly, how did you deal with the basilisk." Grace's soft little hand was placed on Wayne's waist, which made the boy's heart tremble, and he quickly sat upright.
"It's the Phoenix King. The phoenix is not afraid of the basilisk's gaze and directly blinds its eyes. I just added two more attacks at the end to ensure the death of the basilisk."
"I really envy you..." Grace sighed.
With Phoenix King, even if Wayne is a squib, he is not comparable to ordinary wizards.
Even a small team of Aurors would not dare to guarantee that they would kill a basilisk, let alone a thousand-year-old basilisk.
At the tables next door, Hermione, Qiu, and even Astoria gritted their teeth and looked at Wayne, who was surrounded by girls.
Stinky guy, you really know how to enjoy it.
After a while, the students had enough to eat and drink, and all the food on the table disappeared.
Dumbledore stood up, the auditorium became silent, and all the junior masters crowded to look at him.
"I have to say, it feels so good to be back with you." Dumbledore smiled, and the first words he said made the auditorium burst into applause.
Judging from his state, no one knew that something big enough to change the times had quietly happened.
Pressing down his hands repeatedly, Dumbledore restored everyone's calm and continued:
“There are so many things to be happy about that I don’t even know where to start.”
"Mrs. Pince, Crabbe, Goyle, Smith, Bloody Barrow, and Mrs. Norris have all returned to normal. They only need to be observed in the school doctor's office for two days before they can be discharged. 17
The applause rang out again, but not so enthusiastically. When everyone went to see Harry in the afternoon, they already knew about this.
"Next, it's about the Chamber of Secrets..." Dumbledore paused, and the students became nervous.
"Unfortunately, Professor Lockhart was bewitched by a dark magic item and became the perpetrator of all attacks."
"It was he who opened the secret chamber and released the basilisk, but he also paid the price with his life."
"Again, I would like to solemnly remind everyone." Dumbledore's face became serious, and his piercing eyes swept across the four long tables in the auditorium.
"Once you encounter someone who can communicate and has a strange prop, please be sure to inform the professor and parents of the safety advice."
"professor!"
Some of the little wizards couldn't bear it anymore and stood up.
Lockhart's recent performance has conquered many people. Regardless of his magical ability, his previous reasoning alone has changed people's impression of him.
Now that he is revealed to be the murderer, obviously some people can't accept it.
"When Professor Dumbledore, Crabbe and Goyle were attacked, Professor Lockhart was clearly in the auditorium. Why was he the murderer?"
"Miss Blanco, I understand your doubts."
Dumbledore nodded slightly: "Actually, he used a magical magic item to create proof of his alibi."
"Currently, all evidence has been submitted to the Ministry of Magic."
"Oh, by the way, our gamekeeper has also been cleared and can return to school tomorrow."
After hearing his explanation, the Ravenclaw girl sat back down in despair.
"In the end, there is our hero."
Dumbledore looked at Wayne, Harry was still lying in the school infirmary and had not shown up.
"Mr. Potter discovered the Chamber of Secrets and Lockhart's conspiracy, Mr. Lawrence defeated the basilisk, and I will award the duo the Outstanding Contribution Award to the school [Gryffindor and Hufflepuff plus Tubaijiao!"
Warm applause rang out again, and on the Gryffindor side, several students jumped onto the stools excitedly. Ronald's face turned red, and he regretted that he did not leave with Harry and Lockhart at that time.
If he goes too, can he also get a bonus and get extra points?
"Are you kidding, defeating the basilisk left by Slytherin alone?" Marcus Flint muttered.
Many people in Slytherin nodded in agreement, but also thought it was a fantasy.
The basilisk is a creature more terrifying than the dragon, especially the eyes that glare at everyone. If they believe it was Dumbledore who solved it, they would doubt it if it were anyone else.
Even Snape.
Hearing their questions, the happy little badgers glared at the neighbor next door.
Wayne didn't say anything and just threw out a bag.
boom!
"Ahhh! Monster!"
The huge basilisk corpse fell, causing the students to scream. Other professors also stood up at the guest of honor seat.
Snape looked at the basilisk's body with bright eyes and heavy breathing, as if he had drunk a love potion.
What kind of monster is this? The basilisk is full of treasures!
"Dumbledore, the basilisk was left by Slytherin himself. Logically speaking, it is also the property of Slytherin College, right?" Snape rolled his eyes and thought of a good idea.
Before Dumbledore could speak, Sprout retorted:
"Severus, the basilisk is Wayne's trophy and has nothing to do with Slytherin. You can exchange it with Wayne for whatever you need. Don't make any crooked ideas here.
The smile on Snape's face froze: "But..."
If he wants to negotiate terms with Wayne, wouldn't he be ripped off again?
"Okay." Dumbledore admired the large holes on the basilisk's body and interrupted Snape who was about to say something else.
"Pompona is right, this is Mr. Lawrence's trophy."
After letting everyone feast their eyes, Wayne put away the basilisk and looked at Snape on the stage, his eyes full of encouragement.
Come to me and negotiate terms. If you don't come, how can I kill you?
Feeling Wayne's gaze, Snape's mouth twitched, silently feeling sorry for his treasure.
After announcing everything, Dumbledore motioned for everyone to leave.
Professor McGonagall took two quick steps and stopped the Weasley twins.
"Professor, we really haven't violated school rules recently!" George shuddered and said almost reflexively. At the same time, the two of them were thinking frantically about what trouble they had gotten into recently, and Professor McGonagall caught him.
Their performance made Professor McGonagall angry and funny: "I'm not here to reprimand you."
"What are you?" Fred asked cautiously.
"I'm here to apologize." Professor McGonagall said solemnly: "The roosters that died last time were the work of Lockhart, because the crowing of roosters is the natural enemy of the basilisk.
"But I have wronged you for so long. Here, I apologize to you."
After saying that, Professor McGonagall bowed down solemnly, but the twins jumped away.
"Professor, don't say that." Fred was so embarrassed by Professor McGonagall's apology that he blushed rarely.
"George and I usually get into trouble, so it's understandable for you to think so."
"One code is the same, and you have to admit when you are wrong. Not only students need to do this, but teachers should also set an example." McGonagall shook his head and said stubbornly.
"The fifty points deducted will be added back, but your points for secretly going to the Forbidden Forest will still be deducted. y
"Don't be so naughty in the future and focus more on your studies, got it?"
The twins looked at each other, smiled and said in unison:
Got it!"
Some of the previous slight dissatisfaction disappeared and was replaced by respect for Professor McGonagall.
But...
It's impossible not to let them get into mischief and get into mischief.
As long as you don't get caught, it'll be fine
The dark clouds that had hung over the castle for months finally dissipated, and school life returned to normal.
The next day, almost everyone walked out of the castle, enjoying the long-lost freedom.
Wayne first went to the school doctor's office in the morning to check on Harry's condition.
The first thing Harry said after seeing him was: "Wayne, Voldemort... No, is Tom Riddle really resurrected?"
His dream last night was all about Lockhart turning into Tom. He dreamed about it all night long.
Showed up all night.
"Of course not." Wayne shook his head and said according to Dumbledore's explanation: "It is a profound black magic. When the power of the diary is exhausted, Lockhart's life will also be exhausted."
Reached the end. "
"That's good." Harry breathed a sigh of relief, and then made a request to buy protective equipment.
This time, he suffered the loss of 033 and no krypton gold, and was successfully attacked by Lockhart.
Of course Wayne wouldn't refuse and gave Harry a 50% discount.
Harry was shocked by such a huge discount, as if he had met Wayne for the first time.
In the afternoon, Hagrid also returned from the Ministry of Magic.
Wayne brought Hermione and Astoria to the cabin.
Yaya started having fun as soon as she saw Wayne, and Hagrid enthusiastically brought out black tea and various desserts.
During the time he spent at the Ministry of Magic, Hagrid obviously had a very good life, and his already huge body gained some weight.
While several people were eating, Hagrid said happily:
"The lawsuit against me has been lifted, not only this time, but also from fifty years ago."
"It's great that the Ministry of Magic has allowed me to have a wand again!"
"Didn't you have a wand before?" Hermione looked at Hagrid doubtfully: "But Harry said that when he first met you, you turned his cousin into a pig tail.
Hagrid was startled and waved his hands repeatedly: "Hermione, please, please don't tell anyone."
He looked at the umbrella placed at the door very nervously and whispered: "I used magic tape to stick the broken wands together, and the Ministry of Magic didn't know."
"How brave of you." Hermione frowned.
"It's good that I haven't been discovered." Hagrid said cheerfully: "From now on, I can cast spells openly."
After saying that, he looked gratefully and said, "Wayne, thanks to you this time, I don't want to go to a ghost place like Azkaban and stay there for so long."
"It's nothing." Wayne shook his head: "Speaking of you, you were also wronged. Being imprisoned directly in Azkaban is really too much."
"Is Azkaban scary? Isn't it just a prison?" Hermione was curious.
"It's different." Astoria said seriously, with a flash of fear in her eyes: "The guards there are dementors, and they may go crazy if they are locked up for a day.
Hermione nodded silently, still having no specific idea.
She knew about Dementors, but the horror of Dementors would only be deeply felt after real contact with them.
"You won't see those ghost guys anyway. They are all staying in Azkaban, so there is no need to be so entangled." Hagrid smiled and ignored this unpleasant topic.
Wayne's eyelids twitched upon hearing this.
This FLAG is established...
Hagrid had forgotten about it even if he didn't mention it. If nothing else happened, dementors would come to Hogwarts next semester.
To be honest, apart from noticing Banban when school started, he also tried to take it from Ronald's hand to study it, but later completely forgot about it.
Is it that Hermione is no longer cute, or is Qiu no longer soft?
Who has nothing to do all day long to worry about a mouse?
Dear readers, Happy Lantern Festival. I hurt my stomach when I ate Lantern Festival at noon, and I have been feeling uncomfortable, so I am a little late. There will be more in a while. .
