"Before you enjoy the delicious food, you have to listen to an old man's nagging." Dumbledore cleared his throat.

   "First of all, I am very happy to see you all showing up at school alive and kicking again, sharing your experiences with your peers happily. But I have to mention that in the last semester, we have just experienced a difficult few months..."

   The little wizards stared at Dumbledore's face, wanting to see what he said.

"...There have been two attacks. A little wizard is still lying in a hospital bed, in a special ward." Dumbledore paused, and suddenly raised his tone. "But thanks to a few people, they used their own efforts to investigate. When the truth of the matter came out, I was very brave and solved the monster in the secret room."

   "Yes, we shouldn't forget their names—Harry Potter! Ron Weasley! Hermione Granger!"

   Everyone cast their blazing gazes at the Gryffindor table, and they looked at the three of Harry incrediblely.

   "You are kidding!" shouted one of the twins, his voice echoing in the auditorium, making the solemn atmosphere lively.

   Dumbledore was amused, and he said cheerfully, "Of course not, Weasley. But when it comes to jokes, I think of a funny troll and dwarf joke—"

   "Ahem!" Professor McGonagall next to him coughed violently.

   "Ah~ well, let's get back to the topic. Their courage has won unanimous praise from several professors. For this, I want to reward each of them with two hundred points!" Dumbledore said.

   Snape couldn't help but snorted.

The Gryffindor Academy dining table was already boiling. They applauded violently. The Weasley twins rushed over to hug Harry and Ron. Percy said loudly in a corner, "That's my brother! My brother! They will share the school." The trophy for the Special Contribution Award!"

   Hermione looked at the dazed Hannah Abbot, and said cheerfully, "Look, I said there is no danger, right?"

   The noise in the auditorium gradually subsided after a few minutes.

   However, most of the eyes were on Harry and the three of them. Draco Malfoy, who was at the Slytherin table, squeezed the plate with a silver fork and made a "creaking" sound.

   Potter! Potter again, everything is Potter!

   I also did my best... He looked at Harry angrily.

"Principal Dumbledore," a seventh-grade Gryffindor student stood up, "can you tell me more specifically? Salazar Slytherin really put a monster in the secret room to clear everything he thinks is not worthy of learning Magical people?"

   The accusation of these remarks is extremely obvious. The wizards at the Slytherin table all stared at him, wishing to impose a curse on him. However, the expressions of the little wizards in the other three academies when they looked at the snake academy became silent and complicated.

"I don't think so, Mr. Xavier." Dumbledore said with a serious expression. He first glanced at the little wizards present to calm the commotion, and then calmly said: "The monster in the secret room-the basilisk , Has existed for thousands of years, but there are only two recorded attacks this year and one 50 years ago."

   "Before this, it had been sleeping quietly for nearly a thousand years. We have reason to infer that the attack was not Salazar Slytherin's original intention."

Dumbledore quickly skipped the previous topic: "I will put the basilisk in the courtyard of the school castle tomorrow, and I will also invite some reporters into the school. Please also regulate your words and deeds. You can visit, but don't try Touch it and the professors will also perform special magic."

   "Now, let's enjoy the food."

   Dumbledore sat back in the chair, he waved his wand, and various foods began to appear on the table.

However, the little wizards were not thinking about it. Dumbledore’s speech was very informative. They were all "buzzing" discussing, from the good or bad of Salazar Slytherin to the secret room. Monster, let's discuss how the Potter trio defeated it.

   "What does the basilisk look like?" a little Gryffindor wizard asked Harry.

   "Uh, a huge snake whose eyes can kill people."

   "Cool! How big is it, isn't it bigger than what Professor Lockhart turned out in the duel club?"

   Ron's mouth was stuffed and vaguely interrupted and said, "Hey brother, it's much more than that."

   The little wizard looked at Ron suspiciously, "Are you really involved?"

   "Dean, my role is much more important than you think!" Although Ron's mouth was about to explode, he couldn't help but justify himself.

  , Hermione Granger sat quietly and said nothing.

   "Hermione, aren't you hungry?" Katie next to her looked at the little witch wearing a mask and asked her curiously.

   "...I'm not hungry." Hermione said stiffly, but she quickly took two pieces of parchment paper from her pocket and wrapped the beef patties on the plate in front of her.

   The girl looked at her stunned, her fork stopped in the air.

   The student table is very lively, the teacher's seat is also not peaceful, some professors who don't know the truth are inquiring about the specific situation.

   Felix finished asking Lockhart who kept asking questions, passed Professor Flitwick, and asked Dumbledore.

   "Principal, about the pressure of some pure-blood families..."

"You said this!" Dumbledore put down his knife and fork, and said with interest: "I have contacted most of the school managers these days, and they agreed that it is better to let me sit in this position~www.novelmt. com~What about the Malfoy family?"

   "Lucius...It's a pity that he is facing a lot of trouble now. The other school directors are dissatisfied with his previous threats and want to get him out of the board. I heard that he has now approached Fudge."

   "The Minister of Magic?"

   "Yes, if nothing happens, you will see him tomorrow." Dumbledore said presciently.

   Felix nodded knowingly.

   The dinner was over quickly, and the little wizards of Gryffindor gathered Harry and the three back to the common room, and couldn't wait to ask for specific details.

   Ron was doing this, and he began to describe it vividly.

  From Harry's eyes, except for the parts that are required to be kept secret-such as the existence of the professor, such as the Gryffindor sword, the remaining parts of Ron are extremely exaggerated.

   Hermione quietly returned to the dormitory, secretly finished two pies, and came back contentedly.

   "...So, I was fined and confined for a reason. Actually, I didn't expect Lockhart to fall down as soon as he pushed it." Ron said with regret.

  Hermione hid in the crowd, just in time to hear a little wizard ask Ron: "So, you don't need to be confined?"

   Ron opened his mouth, like a deflated ball, suddenly becoming frown.

   He did win honors for the college, but he couldn't escape the punishment of assaulting innocent professors.

   In fact, Professor McGonagall had already told him the content and time of the confinement, and went around, unfortunately, he fell into Lockhart's hands.

   He heard Harry mentioned the content of the confinement-writing a reply to Lockhart's fans, it seemed easy, but four hours of repetitive work at a time was enough to make life suspicious.
