Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

But now, he realized that he was just like a baby who had just taken his first steps.

Far, far ahead of him, there was the tall figure of another person.

……

The experience of challenging the thousand-year-old basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets naturally became the hottest topic in Hogwarts for the next period of time.

All the participating students told this story over and over again without getting tired of it, from different angles and in different ways, repeating it many times until everyone was fed up.

Harry and Neville, who ended the battle, were regarded as heroes by most students. Led by the twins, the Gryffindors composed a catchy song praising them:

“In the dark abyss, the basilisk roars.

The fangs flashed and the eyes were blinded.

he--

The warrior Longbottom is fearless,

Charge bravely with a long sword in hand.

he--

The savior star fights life and death,

Once he leaps down, he is unstoppable..."

It wasn't enough that they had made a scene in the common room for a whole night, but early the next morning, they carried the two of them through the streets, and the entire road from Gryffindor Tower to the Great Hall was echoed with their brainwashing songs.

Soon, even students from other colleges could sing.

It was the first time that Neville received so much attention from his classmates, and was not criticized or ridiculed. He was at a loss at first and almost jumped off the tower.

But after a morning of getting used to it, he had gotten used to singing along with everyone.

The story of the basilisk spread outside the school, and letters like raindrops were sent to Hogwarts by owls, all protesting against the school professors' disregard for the safety of students.

But soon, the parents learned that there were no casualties among the participating children, and that ordinary injuries such as broken bones could be healed by Madam Pomfrey in the blink of an eye, which was no different from a cut finger.

Then the voices of protest disappeared, and those who were interested in gossip began to discuss how strong the students of Hogwarts were. The words between the lines hinted that Dumbledore was planning to do something big.

But the principal completely ignored these comments from the outside world.

He did not ask Harry to close the door of the Chamber of Secrets again, but opened it wide and even allowed young wizards in the lower grades to go in and have a look.

The long pipe still retains its original damp and smelly style, but after the students have slid on it hundreds of times, the pipe has become cleaner than the floor wiped by little crabs.

The broken stone walls and pillars, the floor full of pits, and the statue of Salazar Slytherin himself are all left intact, with bloodstains visible in some places.

However, visitors no longer had the opportunity to pick up scales from here, so after a few days, some of the gravel on the ground quietly disappeared, and even the bones of small animals in the corridor outside became less.

Although the basilisk's body had been stuffed into the professors' private storage room, Dumbledore kept the snake skin temporarily. Every young wizard who entered was startled, and then stood by, imagining how dangerous and fierce the battle the challengers had experienced that day.

Colin Creevey and Rolf Scamander became the most popular people in the school - because everyone wanted to stand in front of the snake slough for a photo, and they had cameras.

Half a day later, Wade's camera was also borrowed by Michael.

When he was walking towards the Chamber of Secrets with a group of girls including the Padma sisters, they happened to meet Professor Snape.

The group of people were so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe, but surprisingly, Professor Snape said nothing and just walked past.

During this period, Professor Snape was in a particularly good mood because he had obtained most of the corpses of the Millennium Basilisk.

All he thought about all day was how to use these materials and what kind of potions he could make. He had no time to care about what new tricks the little monsters in the school had come up with.

In addition to Professor Snape, Myrtle also felt unprecedented happiness.

This ghost who stayed in the bathroom and cried all day long had never seen so many students walking around in his territory!

While complaining that her home had become a tourist destination, she happily chatted with the students. When they entered the secret room, she suddenly popped out from the wall or snake skin, scaring everyone.

It felt like she had almost become a second Peeves.

Not long after, the photo of the snake's slough appeared in the Daily Prophet, sparking another wave of heated discussion.

Marchionne took the opportunity to launch a batch of snake-shaped puppet pets, which quickly sold out.

The end-of-term dinner came in a blink of an eye. Before the meal, Dumbledore announced that he would give extra points to students from several colleges in the Chamber of Secrets challenge.

As expected, Gryffindor still won the house cup, and the scores of the other three houses were not much different.

This time, even the Slytherins did not have much objection to the result. When cheers rang out in the hall, a small number of students at Dean Snake's table also applauded politely.

"In the dark abyss, the basilisk roars. Its fangs gleam, and its eyes are blind..."

The Gryffindors clapped their hands on the tables and sang loudly. Dumbledore directed them with a smile, and the Badgers and Eagles also joined in the chorus.

Goyle: "Dark abyss, basilisk roars..."

The boy sang along unconsciously, and Malfoy next to him heard it. He glared at him and shouted, "Shut up!"

Goyle was startled and immediately shut his mouth.

Although Crabbe is out of danger, he is still in St. Mungo's Hospital.

Goyle was a little afraid of Malfoy now.

Chapter 274 Hiding the Friends Book

After the end-of-term dinner, Hogwarts was completely closed for the holiday.

Wade and the others also saw their test scores.

And this time, Vader got first place in all subjects.

In fact, Hermione also did very well in the exam, but in the practical exam, Wade showed a level far beyond his peers, and the professors unanimously gave him extra points.

The next morning was the day to take the Hogwarts Express home.

The students packed their luggage, and the house-elves delivered the boxes to the train. Everyone went downstairs on time to have breakfast as usual.

Several people from SSC were still sitting at the Hufflepuff table.

"I really envy you, Harry." Padma poked the cake on the plate and said with a bitter face, "After you get off the carriage, you can just turn the corner and go home, while we have to take the train for a whole day."

"I envy you too." Harry said with a smile, "I think it's fun to sit in the box with everyone else."

He warmly invited everyone to visit his home again during the holidays and promised that they would not need to help with the housework this time.

Everyone declined.

During the long summer vacation, almost everyone has plans to go out for a trip.

Harry watched their discussion pathetically, looking envious.

"Don't worry, I'm sure Remus and Sirius will take you out to play too."

Wade comforted him, "For wizards, distance is not a problem at all, and traveling abroad is not expensive."

Harry heard this, feeling both excited and a little nervous.

As they were talking, a gray owl brought a note to Harry. He unfolded it and was stunned.

"Who gave you the letter?" asked Hermione.

"Dumbledore." Harry stood up with the note in his hand. "He wants to see me."

The boy walked along the passage between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, past many students who were eating, and then through a small door.

Wade watched him leave, and vaguely guessed something in his heart.

……

In a small room with many portraits hanging on the wall, Dumbledore was sitting on a bench. His lake blue robe had many patterns of circles, triangles and hexagrams on it.

Harry knocked on the open door and walked in.

"Professor Dumbledore?"

"Oh, Harry, there you are."

Dumbledore motioned him to sit down, and his blue eyes looked at him kindly from behind his half-moon spectacles.

Gentle almost to the point of compassion.

Harry avoided the gaze. He instinctively felt uncomfortable with the gaze, as if something bad was about to happen.

"Professor, what do you want from me?" Harry asked.

"I noticed something, Harry."

Dumbledore said, "The house-elf told me that you left a note on your trunk asking them not to take it on the train but to leave it on the platform?"

"Yeah," said Harry blankly, "I don't need to take the train. You know... Sirius's home is in Hogsmeade."

After half a year, Harry finally got used to the fact that he had a godfather, and he also knew that Sirius was his legal guardian compared to Remus.

"Yes I know."

Dumbledore crossed his fingers and whispered, "But I have to tell you, Harry - you must go back to the Dursleys."

"what?!"

Harry stood up immediately and couldn't help shouting at the headmaster, "Why?! I hate them and they hate me too! And...and Sirius is my godfather! He is willing to take me in!"

"Yes, so I talked to Sirius and Remus as well," Dumbledore said. "They were against it at first, just like you, but they finally agreed with me."

Harry was stunned. His hands and feet began to grow cold. After a long while, he asked softly, "Why?"

"This is related to the magic left by your mother." Dumbledore said: "I think you still remember - last year in the school hospital, when you asked me why Quirrell couldn't touch you, what I said to you?"

"Yes." Harry recalled the scene at that time and murmured, "You said... my mother's strong love left me a talisman... it was hidden in my skin... so when Voldemort touched me, he felt unbearable pain..."

"Yes, your mother used a very ancient magic to protect you when you were one year old, and also protected you when you were eleven years old, but the continuation of this magic is conditional."

Dumbledore said: "Lily's magic remains in her blood, and the blood is connected to you and Petunia Dursley. You need to return to where she is and live for a period of time every year so that the magical barrier can always exist."

Harry stared into Dumbledore's eyes, his heart aching.

He couldn't tell whether the pain was due to his mother's sacrifice or to returning to the place he thought he had escaped.
