The morning of the next day arrived as promised, and Dumbledore was already sitting on the teacher's bench. The huge basilisk had been dealt with, and the shabby hall last night had once again restored its splendor.
At the four dining tables, the little wizards were all whispering about what happened last night, the most prominent of which was that Bree pulled out Gryffindor's sword and killed the basilisk.
And that green killing curse.
"Oude is here, stop talking."
Bree sat in Slytherin's seat, eating dinner quietly, and Professor Sprout also announced the good news to everyone at this time. Madam Pomfrey discovered the ability to resist petrification through the blood of the basilisk. The magic power of the mandrake, mixed with the immature mandrake into a potion, can also remove the petrification magic.
"Oh, great!"
The little wizards below applauded, and Bree put down the knife and fork in her hands temporarily and clapped her hands.
Dumbledore was sitting on the teacher's chair without saying a word. Professor Snape stood up. His eyes were cold and his tone was dissatisfied: "One more thing...Dumbledore is back again. Of course, this I will make it clear to the Ministry of Magic. After all, the Ministry of Magic has done nothing in this matter except kidnapping a half-blood giant."
Professor Snape took Dumbledore and the other professors to the secret room last night, where they found the diary and a pile of dead Niffler bodies. After Dumbledore's examination, the souls in the diary had disappeared. , is probably the person possessing the basilisk.
And Xiu Xiu also has it on his body. Apparently Voldemort also possessed Xiu Xiu.
Dumbledore was well aware of Voldemort's aura, so he had no doubts. He just lamented that things were unpredictable, and even though he was fully prepared, something went wrong.
Dumbledore sighed, stood up, and said to the many young wizards: "I'm sorry, this year the basilisk has caused too many dangers. This is something Slytherin put in the secret room, and dozens of It was the same situation years ago, and that time it also resulted in death.”
"I will publish these things in the Daily Prophet so that everyone can rest assured and continue to study at Hogwarts. After all, there is only one Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, and the founders of other colleges will not create such dangerous things. .”
The obviously targeted words came out of Dumbledore's mouth, which made everyone in Slytherin frown, and they all speculated whether this was a warning from Dumbledore to encourage them to leave Hogwarts.
"Oh, Bree, is Dumbledore..."
"Stop talking. Maybe he is really just telling the truth. The basilisk is indeed dangerous, especially when the descendants of Slytherin are present."
After Bree finished eating the green apple pie, she watched the professors who had nothing to say slowly stood up and headed outside the castle.
When Professor Sprout saw it, he also said goodbye to all the professors and rushed out.
"One of the mandrakes has matured, but it's indistinguishable, and Madam Pomfrey has made a new discovery, so I'll keep it for you."
"Come with me, Bree."
Following Professor Sprout, they came to the greenhouse. The greenhouse was full of sleeping mandrakes, looking at the lush greenery. Bree and the others walked very lightly as they were afraid of waking up these little guys. them.
….
"This is it." Professor Sprout handed the mandrake and the pot to Bree and reminded: "Be careful. Not all little wizards can tame it. Don't let others scare it."
Bree held the mandrake away.
"I'll take care of it, but I think thunderstorms are here during this time, so I have to hurry up."
There were thunderstorms in the summer, so Sprout naturally knew about Animagus magic. She raised her eyebrows and warned Bree: "This magic is very dangerous. You have to wait for Professor McGonagall to recover before you can start taking action. Do you understand?" .”
"I understand, Professor Sprout."
"Well, Professor Snape will be able to prepare the potion in a few days."
After leaving Professor Sprout's greenhouse, Bree quickly headed to the turret. In the turret, Bree's notes were floating in the air. A magic circle emitted light on the ground, and Nico flew out holding a large book. , followed closely by
It was Dobby, and Ver was sorting out these books, but looking at the insufficient bookshelves in the study, he still spat out lamp oil in distress.
"Sorry, I forgot to cast the Traceless Stretching Charm here."
Bree left a note in the morning and asked Nico and the others to move all the books to Box's study. Now it seems that they haven't finished moving them early in the morning.
After casting a traceless stretching spell on the wall space, Bree used a transformation spell to conjure several bookshelves, which made Ver sigh with relief.
"Brie, you have to take care of that man. He's been reading in the study room opposite and won't help!"
Nico also clenched his fists dissatisfied and said, "Yes, Dad, this is not fair!"
"The damn guy is so lazy, Dobby is very angry." Dobby used magic to lift a lot of books and slowly placed them on the floor, mumbling all his disgust for Tom.
Box's study is filled with soul-related things, and Bree isn't surprised by Tom's curiosity.
"Ignore him, you all go to rest first. Also, Nico, I need to wake up a few more flower elves during the holidays. Please help me choose spiritual flowers."
"Ver, go find the alchemy materials."
"More than……"
Bree has other arrangements for Dobby. According to Dumbledore's tone today, it is impossible for him to give up the title of the greatest white wizard. Then he will definitely guide the savior, and he will be more subtle, or even not at all explicit. Take action.
"You go to Harry Potter, tell him why you stopped him because you wanted to protect him, and stay by his side..."
"You know, this is a big task."
"A big mission?" Dobby held his face in his hands and exclaimed in disbelief: "Dobby has a big mission. Master Bree gave it to me. Dobby will definitely be able to complete it!"
With a whoosh, Dobby disappeared in front of Bree, and Tom walked out at this time, holding a black book in his hand.
"Here, here is a detailed introduction to the three unforgivable curses. It is Box's guess about them. It may be useful to you."
Bree frowned.
"You should stay in the soul stone and don't come out in your current situation."
"I know, hum." Tom chuckled, walked back to the soft chair in the bedroom, and returned to the soul stone.
….
…
For several days, Bree has been dealing with the newly acquired books, studying the soul magic related to house elf rituals. Tom's current situation is not optimistic. There must be an effective method to eradicate the ills, otherwise he will have to stay. Nothing can be done inside the Soul Stone.
As for Tom's current position, which was originally reserved for Voldemort, Bree had already planned it. If he wanted to establish a family, he must have a person in charge of the family and someone to communicate with the outside world.
Tom is just right on top.
On the other side, the petrified little wizard and Professor McGonagall were already familiar with each other. The little wizards were called by Dumbledore for questioning, and Harry and Ron also participated.
"What, this diary was originally with you, Ginny?"
Ron said worriedly: "It didn't do anything to you, right?"
Everyone who already knew that Voldemort was hiding in the diary to control others looked at Ginny who had her head lowered. Ginny felt like she was about to cry.
"I'm sorry, I thought he was just a magic item that can chat, and I didn't think too much about it."
Ginny didn't say it out loud, but actually she didn't dare to be friends with other little witches because of her old robes and books, for fear of being laughed at, and Yana, who used old things like her, was also cold, so she subconsciously She really hopes that Tom can become her friend and will not look down on her because of poverty.
"Oh, child, you can't let down your guard against anything magical." Professor McGonagall rubbed Ginny's head, and the others explained the reasons why they were petrified one by one.
When it was Arnold's turn, he only said vigilantly that he was being controlled, and then he was petrified. He didn't understand anything, and he didn't speak out the orders Voldemort gave him in his mind. After all, he was
Of course, the pure-blood family would not believe Dumbledore.
As for Azar, he is still lying in the school hospital. Tom has possessed him for too long and needs a long time to recover.
"Okay, kids, please go out. Your Professor McGonagall and I have something to talk about. Of course, you can grab some candies before leaving, haha."
[A book-chasing book recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, @
The main villain, Harry must give him a look!
…
At night, as soon as Bree walked to the dining table, she was grabbed by an angry-looking Draco. He gritted his teeth and stared at the Gryffindor dining table, and said angrily: "Brie, there must be something wrong with that Potter. Now, you actually put the matter on my father!"
"You also used your own smelly socks to free one of my house elves... haha, that's so arrogant and smart!"
Draco's eyes flashed with bright and dark lights, and soon returned to calm, which made Bree confused.
Draco explained: "Even if my father is no longer the school director, this is not something Potter can provoke. Look, forget it this year. I will make sure to look good to him next year."
….
I didn't know what Draco was planning, and Bree had no interest in participating. She just ate her dinner in silence. Exam week was getting closer and closer. Many young wizards were preparing for the exam, and only a few of them had the time to discuss other things. matter.
Soon, during the review, Bree ushered in the exam. Of course, there was no pressure in the exam in just a few days. It was even said that Bree took the time to make another alchemy material for making house elves. But now with Tom's situation, It was no longer suitable to take out the soul and remake it into a perfect house elf.
If the soul is split too many times, it will definitely collapse, and Voldemort's soul can no longer be split too much at this time. No matter what Tom says, as long as the main soul is not dead, he will always be a split soul.
After the exam, Bree's second final dinner at Hogwarts also began.
At night, Hogwarts is particularly lively, and the summer evening breeze blows in from the windows on both sides of the ceiling, making the little wizards particularly comfortable, and the fatigue after the exam is swept away.
This year's decoration is still the silver and green colors of Slytherin, and looking at the funnel of house scores in each house, it is no surprise that this year's House Cup will be between Ravenclaw and Slytherin. After all, This year's Quidditch match could not be held as scheduled due to some accidents, so Gryffindor could not recover from the disadvantage.
Moreover, their original scores were not high, and perhaps some people were still looking forward to Harry's performance. Unfortunately, everything this year was seen by everyone, and Dumbledore could no longer play favorites.
Before the banquet started, Dumbledore stood up as usual. In the past few days, he had been going to the Ministry of Magic to deal with matters related to Hagrid. Hagrid was innocent and could still prove his innocence under the basilisk, but the magic The Ministry was unwilling to admit his mistakes and restrained an innocent man for decades, so Dumbledore spent more energy on this matter.
And now——
"Haha, I have to say something, so please be quiet."
Holding on to his smile, Dumbledore said as if he didn't care: "Let me see this year, oh, Ravenclaw and Slytherin are relatively taller..."
"But we have to take some things into account, and everyone knows that."
With that said, Dumbledore looked at Bree who was sitting.
Draco poked Bree's waist and whispered: "Hey, Dumbledore is looking at you."
"It's okay. This year's Academy Cup should be for Slytherin." Although Brie did not earn points this year, there are still young wizards who want to express themselves. Without Brie, although there is no leading advantage, the points are still at the forefront. Only Ravenclaw can compete.
"So, the current highest score is Slytherin with 512 points, followed by Hufflepuff with 503 points, 461 points, and Gryffindor with 280 points. sixteen."
Speaking of this, some Gryffindor wizards looked at Harry and Ron with dissatisfaction. These two guys had a lot of points deducted at the beginning of school tonight. If they hadn't been deducted, then Gryffindor would have also deducted a lot of points. It was impossible to be at the bottom, but soon, they became entangled again.
Dumbledore turned back to look at Harry and said, "We have to add in the recent bonus points. Well, because Potter bravely fought the basilisk and continued to search for the whereabouts of the Chamber of Secrets, he helped the professors... Plus one hundred and fifty points."
….
"And Ron Weiss is here to accompany Potter to find him.
After finding out the whereabouts of the secret room and being willing to believe him, it is both justice and bravery, and friendship, plus fifty points. "
After Dumbledore finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Bree.
"Mr. Briod, protect the little wizard and kill the basilisk, plus two hundred points."
Dumbledore didn't explain too much about Bree, because the young wizards could see it clearly, and they didn't elaborate on some side details. The scene was enough for now.
"oh!"
"Pah, pah, pah!"
The little wizards in each college applauded Bree. The Wesley twins made funny faces at Bree and were eager to rush over, but were stopped by Professor McGonagall.
Obviously, this year's Academy Cup belongs to Slytherin. Dumbledore handed the repaired Academy Cup to Snape, and then said: "I don't think there is any need to make any changes this year. It's very good."
After saying that, he sat down with a smile, knocked on the glass, and in an instant, delicious dinner appeared on every table.
This was exactly what Brie was waiting for.
A mediocre dinner ended like this. Dumbledore acted very simply. He understood that the role of the Academy Cup was gone, and Harry's trust in him no longer included this favoritism.
Dumbledore thought that maybe he should make other plans.
The next day, the Hogwarts train left on time, and this time, Bree was no exception, preparing to sit on the train with Draco and wait to go to King's Cross Station.
"Wait, Cedric." Bree, who had just stepped onto the train, saw Cedric in front of her and spoke immediately.
"You don't know yet about what I want to sniff."
Bree told Cedric about how Niffler kidnapped Nico, was possessed by an evil guy, and was torn apart.
Cedric's eyes widened with a sad look in them.
"I...I'm sorry that Sniff caused so much trouble, Bree."
"That's not your problem, Cedric."
Bree and Cedric said goodbye and entered the carriage with Draco, who was watching them dissatisfied.
"Come here, Bree."
Draco took out a land deed from his pocket and said, "Humph, you still forgot my birthday."
Taking the land deed from Draco, Bree said apologetically: "The basilisk attracted everyone's attention. Maybe I can replenish it for you later."
"Complement?" Draco's expression changed, and he quickly said: "I will come to see you during the holidays. I hope you can give me a decent gift then."
"Dongdongdong!"
Not long after he sat down, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Oh, who is it? I don't want you to come here." Draco stood up, opened the door, and saw Harry and Ron.
"Pote!"
"bump!"
Draco closed the door hard. He didn't want to see Harry's face now. The house elf's grudge hadn't been figured out yet. It was Malfoy's property, but Harry had used a trick to take it away!
"Dongdongdong!"
Harry's knock on the door sounded again, and Draco glared at Bree. Bree could only get up and open the door.
"Is something wrong, Potter?"
Harry's face turned red and he said sheepishly, "I think we can talk about the so-called savior training plan..."
Harry trailed off, feeling a little ashamed of the name of the plan, but he had to explain.
"I made it clear to Dumbledore that I will use my own power to deal with Voldemort and will not sacrifice others to achieve success. You can rest assured, Oded."
Harry's eyes were sincere, but Ron behind him tried to pull Harry away with a bad face.
"I think I don't care about Dumbledore's special care for you. As long as it doesn't affect things around me, I won't say anything."
Bree smiled softly and said calmly: "You can go, Potter, Draco doesn't want to see you lately."
At this time, Draco's voice came from the carriage.
"Congratulations, Pott, for having a house elf that Wes longed for but couldn't get, huh."
…
The train started, and in the principal's office, Dumbledore also read several letters in his hand.
They were the Ministry of Magic's decision to release Hagrid and declare him innocent, and a letter from a distant place, Remus Lupin.
The letter said——
I would love to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, Dumbledore...
The natural magic of Hogwarts.
