Hogwarts: more magic than magic

Chapter 82 The end of the first school year
"..."

After listening to Keiz's description of the secret room and the entire battle process, the entire principal's office fell into silence.

Even the portraits of the former principals, who had been chattering and whispering when Keiz entered the door, fell silent after listening to his narration.

Dumbledore frowned even more, crossed his fingers between his nose and his lips, and stared at the box on the desk without blinking.

This is a rustic wooden box with rustic style and simple shape, fixed with iron bars and rivets.

He has been staring blankly like this for a long time, as if trying to think about something.

"How could the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets be found so easily?"

After an unknown amount of time, someone among the former acting principals hanging on the wall broke the silence, and they started a lively discussion.

"This is impossible!"

"Son! You're taking too much risk."

"He's lying!"

"I believe what he said is true!"

"That's a basilisk!"

"Maybe he is the heir of the new Slytherin!"

"Son! Are you hurt?"

"Can't believe what he said!"

"Maybe he'll be the next Dark Lord!"

"..."

"Quiet!"

Dumbledore's voice was a little low and hoarse, as if the messy voices on the wall woke him up from his contemplation, and he stopped the chattering discussions of the portraits on the wall.

Then he got up from behind his desk and went to the box on the floor.

Raising his hand with a light stroke, the wand flew into his hand.

He began tapping his wand rhythmically on the surface of the box.

Whenever the wand fell and hit the box, the surface of the box rippled with black ripples like water.

After knocking for a while, he turned to look at Keez sitting on the sofa.

"Son! You're right! I feel a powerful black magic aura inside, this thing is very dangerous!
It will lead people to the unknown astray, you are right in not opening it! "

"Professor! This thing should be left by Slytherin to his heirs. I think someone should have opened it in the Chamber of Secrets before, right?"

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and was silent for a while.

"Yes, kid, you guessed it right. There was indeed a young man named Tom Riddle who entered the secret room before, but I'm not sure if he ever opened the box."

"He was the future Voldemort, wasn't he?"

"Yes! Keiz! I shouldn't have told you this, you're too young for the time!" Dumbledore shook his head and returned to his chair.

He paused and continued, "You shouldn't venture into the secret room like this, it's really too dangerous there, and you're still alone!"

"Professor! I'm not as weak as I look!" Chiz stared at him with piercing eyes, and only said one sentence.

Dumbledore leaned back on the seat with his head raised, and was silent again, before continuing to speak after a long time.

"I always see the future in a hazy way, far less than my old friend! Of course, you should also see much more clearly than me.

I can only roughly know that things will not be good in the future, so I often go to my old friend to talk about the future.

He's an expert on the subject, and I mentioned you specifically once, as he seems very interested in you and has been wanting to meet you. "

"I am also very interested in your old friend. If I have the opportunity, I would like to meet him."

"Is that so? Let me think about it! How do you feel when the next semester starts? I'll arrange for you to get along for a while!"

Dumbledore said this in surprise.

Keiz froze for a moment, and immediately realized, 'Is this going to make me a student of Grindelwald? ' he thought to himself.

"Yes! Professor!"

He immediately agreed, and he also wanted to meet this legendary figure.

"It's getting late, it's time for class, I think you have to go back.

Make it so today!This box stays with me and I try to get rid of it. "

"Okay, I know the professor! But I have one more request!"

"you say!"

"Please don't spread the word about this!"

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows again, and looked at him with some doubts, "Why? This should make him gain a great reputation."

"Professor! I don't like the feeling of being noticed by too many people." In fact, it was because Qiz hadn't told Dumbledore that Slytherin might still be alive, and he was afraid of being noticed by Slytherin, so he could only try to keep a low profile.

"Okay then! I respect your opinion. I will deal with this matter quietly!"

"Thank you professor!"

Keiz got up from the sofa and walked slowly towards the door. Just as he was about to open the door and walk out, Dumbledore's voice came from behind again.

"Kiz! I believe everything you say!
I am indeed old, the future should belong to you young people, just do whatever you want!
I should still live for a few more years, and if something really goes wrong, I can still stand in your way.

Also, remember to guide your friends, after all, you can't fight alone forever.

They will become your most solid backing in the future.

And there's Harry..."

At this point he stopped.

"What's the matter, Professor Harry?" Keiz asked, tilting his head.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally said nothing, "It's nothing! Just remember what I said earlier!"

"I will, Professor!" Keiz agreed with a serious face.

……

A few days passed by, at the year-end banquet!

The Great Hall was redecorated in Slytherin red and gold, and on the wall behind the guest of honor hung a huge banner depicting the Gryffindor lion.

This is a reward given to the house with the highest score this year. With the heroism of Harry and others in the post-Christmas operation and the points Harry earned from Quidditch, Gryffindor defeated Slytherin for the first time in seven years and won the House Cup.

These were determined early on.

The entire auditorium was already full of people, and Keiz sat blankly in the corner of Ravenclaw's seat.

He didn't socialize too much this year, and he even chose an unoccupied room in the common room, which made the students around him always feel that he was a bit withdrawn.

Just when he was bored eating and felt that the party would end soon, a small figure sat down beside him.

Sitting next to him was Shabana Azmi, a girl Kizi remembered he had helped.

"Hello, Keez, haven't seen you much since Easter."

"It's Azmi! It's been a long time."

"They say you're hanging out with Snape these days, is that true?"

"Almost! I can be regarded as his assistant now."

"That's..."

"Are they still bullying you?"

"No……"

They chatted one after another until Dumbledore arrived at the venue.

As soon as he entered, the noise in the auditorium gradually died down and suddenly became silent.

"Another year has passed!"

Dumbledore said cheerfully, "Before I indulge in these delicious meals, I must trouble everyone to listen to an old man's platitudes.

What a year it has been!Your little brains must be richer than before... There is a whole summer vacation waiting for you, so that you can digest those things well before the next semester starts, and free up your mind..."

After that, he once again publicized the heroic performance of Harry and the others in front of the students, and the audience cheered for them.

Keiz turned his head to look at Harry, and saw that he was now flushed, surrounded by the crowd, cheering with the crowd, shaking his fists and twisting his body.

It was supposed to be the best night of Harry's life, after all who wouldn't love the feeling of being surrounded by a crowd like a 'great hero' but Keeze.

Azmi next to him also glanced at Harry, turned his head to look at Keiz's face, and said softly, "Actually, in my heart, you, like Harry Potter, are brave. Harry Potter is everyone's savior, and you are my hero!"

"Thank you!" Qiz didn't expect her to say such a sentence suddenly, and he blushed a little.

"Actually, it feels good to be admired!", Qiz thought in his heart.

……

That day finally came, Judith's Good Friday.

It's time for the exam results to be announced.

Naturally, Hermione won No.1 in the first grade, and Keez didn't care about getting a mediocre result.

Even Goyle, who was as stupid as a pig in Judith's mouth and barely able to keep up with the progress of his studies with the potions given by his family, passed.

But Judith's own Transfiguration class fell short, and Potions class was even worse.

After Qiz packed everything, bid farewell to the three of Harry and made an agreement, he realized that she was nowhere to be seen.

After asking portraits and ghosts, she was found.

When we found her at the bottom of the stairs, she was crying and out of breath.

He was completely different from the person who showed no concern when Keiz gave her the potion and reminded her to review two days ago, and kept staring at Adley's portrait in a daze.

Qiz couldn't persuade her no matter how hard he tried, and he couldn't continue to mock her.

In desperation, he had no choice but to coax her first, and then told Lucia to come to Professor McGonagall to intercede, and then went to Snape to find a way to accommodate him.

Lucia rushed to the school as fast as she could, and took Judith, who was crying and blind, to find Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall was quite easy to talk to. After chatting with her for a while, Lucia agreed to re-mark Judith's test paper. There is a high probability that she will pass.

Snape's side was not so easy to talk about. Keiz found Snape and told him about Judith, and he scolded him immediately. Keiz had to promise again and again that he would tutor Judith in his studies when he returned home.

In the end, for the sake of Keez's work for him for so long, he agreed to let Judith take the make-up exam after school started.

After dealing with all this, they finally boarded the train at the last moment and left Hogwarts with the sound of the siren.
