Chapter 273 Follow-Up

Although Dumbledore did not really reach the level of God creating matter, he could affect the change and movement of matter with his own will.

Before this, Vader only knew one kind of person who could do something similar——

A child in a magical riot.

For example, Harry, in the original book, did not hold a wand and blew up Aunt Maggie into a balloon just because of his own anger. This is something he would never be able to do in his normal state.

But magic riots are just accidental. After their thoughts gradually mature and their understanding of the world becomes more complete, wizards can no longer use emotions and thinking to change the material world.

Everyone can only familiarize themselves with spells and perform magic through fixed spells and gestures, and through repeated practice.

This is true for almost all wizards.

Dumbledore is the only special case Vader has ever seen.

To this day, when he closes his eyes, he seems to be able to see the extremely shocking, spectacular and beautiful scene at that time.

Dumbledore's whole body seemed to glow in his sight, and countless golden threads and rings filled the originally empty and dark chamber.

The rubble and gravel are slightly suspended in the air, the giant snakes are separated, and every drop of blood flies according to that person's will. The material world and magic power form intertwined trajectories, like a star bridge passing through the air.

Vader had always thought that he had come a long way on the road to magic, further than all the students at Hogwarts.

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

Far, far in front of him, there was another tall figure.

…

The experience of challenging the thousand-year-old basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets has naturally become the hottest topic at Hogwarts in the coming period.

All the students who participated took the trouble to tell this story to others over and over again, from different angles and in different ways, and repeated it many times until everyone was tired of it.

Harry and Neville, who ended the battle, were regarded as heroes by most students. Under the leadership of the twins, the Gryffindors composed a song praising the two -

"In the dark abyss, the basilisk roars.

The fangs flashed, and the eyes were blind.

he--

The brave Longbottom is fearless,

Charge bravely with a sword in hand.

he--

The savior star fights life and death,

Jumping down is unstoppable..."

It wasn't enough that they had been making trouble in the common room all night. Early the next morning, they carried the two of them through the city, and the whole road from Gryffindor Tower to the Great Hall was filled with the sound of brainwashing songs.

After a while, even students from other colleges started singing.

It was the first time that Neville received such attention from his classmates, and it was not criticism or ridicule. He was at a loss at first and almost jumped from the tower.

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

The story of the basilisk spread to the school, and letters like raindrops were sent to Hogwarts by owls, all protesting that the school professors did not care about the safety of students.

But soon, the parents learned that there were no casualties among the children involved, and that Madam Pomfrey could cure ordinary fractures and other injuries in the blink of an eye, which was no different from a cut finger.

Then the voices of protest disappeared, and the good people began to discuss how strong the students at Hogwarts were, and there was a hint between the lines that Dumbledore wanted to cause big trouble.

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

He did not ask Harry to close the secret room door again, but opened it, and even allowed the younger wizards to visit.

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

The broken stone walls and pillars, the pit-filled floor, and the statue of Salazar Slytherin himself also remained intact, and blood stains could still be seen in some places.

It’s just that visitors no longer had the chance to pick up scales from here, so after a few days, part of the gravel on the ground quietly disappeared, and even some of the bones of the small animals in the corridor outside were missing.

Although the corpse of the basilisk had been stuffed into the professors' private storage room, Dumbledore kept the slough for the time being. Every young wizard who entered was startled, and then stood nearby, imagining the challenger of the day. What a dangerous and fierce battle they went through.

Colin Creevey and Rolf Scamander became the most popular people in the school - because everyone wanted to take pictures in front of the snake's slough, and they had cameras.

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

When he led a group of girls, including Sister Padma, towards the Chamber of Secrets, he happened to meet Professor Snape.

A group of people were so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe, but surprisingly, Professor Snape didn't say anything and just passed by.

During this period, Professor Snape was in a particularly good mood because he had obtained most of the corpses of the thousand-year-old basilisk.

All he thought about all day long was how to use these materials and what potions he could brew. He had no time to pay attention to what new tricks the school's little trolls had come up with.

In addition to Professor Snape, Myrtle also felt happier than ever before.

This ghost who always stays in the bathroom and cries all day has never seen so many students walking around in his territory!

While complaining that her home had become a tourist environment, she happily chatted with the students. When they entered the secret room, she suddenly emerged from the wall or snake slough, shocking everyone. .

It felt like she was almost becoming a second Peeves.

Not long after, the photo of the snake sloughing appeared in the Daily Prophet, sparking another wave of discussion.

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

It was the end-of-term dinner in a blink of an eye. Before eating, Dumbledore announced the bonus points for several college students in the Chamber of Secrets Challenge.

Unsurprisingly, Gryffindor still won the House Cup, and the scores of the other three houses were not much different.

This time, even Slytherin didn't have much objection to the result. When cheers rang out in the auditorium, a small group of students at Dean Snake's table also clapped politely.

"The dark abyss, the basilisk roars. The fangs flash, the eyes are blind..."

The Gryffindors pounded the table and sang loudly. Dumbledore directed them with a smile. The Badgers and Eagles also sang along.

Gower: "The dark abyss, the basilisk roars..."

The boy sang along unconsciously, and when Malfoy heard it next to him, he glared hard and shouted: "Shut up!"

Goyle was startled and immediately shut his mouth.

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

Goyle was a little afraid of Malfoy now.
