Chapter 555 Follow-Up

Life goes on after the matter is resolved. The body of the basilisk in the chamber of secrets was fished out by a team of professors, and the flesh and blood were removed to make a specimen. Of course, the snake head is fake, and everyone knows where it really went.

The specimen of the basilisk was placed in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, just around the classroom two and a half times. Lupin took this opportunity to introduce the evil magical creature of the basilisk to the young wizards, and also told everyone that the monster in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets had been eliminated.

Another major event was the retrial of a case ten years ago. No one expected that it would be reversed ten years later. The hero who sacrificed that year was confirmed to be a Death Eater who had fled abroad.

And the prisoner who had been wrongly imprisoned for more than ten years became a hero who endured humiliation. It seemed to be a happy ending, but unfortunately the Ministry of Magic was not very happy, because they played an extremely stupid and dishonorable role in this false case.

As Li Zhuoguang imagined, the pure-blood families started a fight.

Even though they knew what kind of people their family members who entered Azkaban were, this did not prevent them from using Sirius's incident to vent their grievances to the Ministry of Magic.

Every day, countless Howlers were sent to the Ministry of Magic, and were handled by powerful Aurors. After all, if you don't listen to the content of a Howler, it will lead to serious consequences, so you have to handle it carefully.

In the recent Daily Prophet, the image and credibility of the Ministry of Magic also plummeted. After all, Sirius was not imprisoned in Azkaban for a short time, but for more than ten years. Now it is proved that he is innocent.

No one would believe that a wronged person would be arrested, tried, and finally imprisoned for more than ten years, but he never cried out for injustice. He never applied for an appeal.

The Ministry of Magic could not produce any similar records. What is this? This is a naked deaf-mute and cruel persecution of loyal people! The Ministry of Magic explained that Sirius had indeed not appealed.

But after hearing this explanation, the people became even more angry. How many times had the trolls beaten his brain to allow him to sit in prison without saying a word of defense? Isn't the Ministry of Magic treating everyone as fools by explaining this way? ! So, there were more shouting letters.

Perhaps in the entire magical world, I am afraid that only the Ministry of Magic itself knows how wronged it is.

The disturbances in the outside world did not affect Hogwarts after all. Sirius was cleared of his grievances, and the stationed Dementors were all driven back to Azkaban. The beheading of the Monster in the Chamber of Secrets also put the hearts of all the teachers and students in the school to rest.

Fleur Kuradel, Maxime's favorite student, survived the most recent basilisk attack. With the help of the potion sponsored by Hogwarts Potions Professor Snape, she was soon freed from the petrified state.

As for Maxime, who was still clamoring for Dumbledore to give an explanation at the beginning, his attitude also improved a lot. It is said that someone saw Li Zhuoguang from Slytherin and had a brief negotiation with her. After that, she easily accepted Dumbledore's apology.

She never said anything about Fleur's attack again.

"This is what the lady asked me to give you. Thank you for killing the basilisk and thank you for the slices of mandrake." Fleur spoke English with a strong accent. After handing a gift box to Li Zhuoguang, she fled like a fly, as if Li Zhuoguang was some kind of humanoid beast.

Li Zhuoguang opened the gift box and saw an alchemical gadget, similar to a music box, but the little man inside can really dance. Looking at the attached note, it seems that watching this little man dance can soothe the soul.

Li Zhuoguang casually gave the alchemical toy to Pojun, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Ron looking at Fleur's back with a stupid look on his face. But the people around him were not surprised. After all, Ron's reaction was very common during this period of time.

Although Fleur was still very young, the talent of a veela had begun to show.

Hermione glared at Ron unhappily, and then began to ask Li Zhuoguang openly: "I heard that you already have a clue about the second project, why don't you tell Harry about it."

Hermione is not a person without a sense of boundaries, but she has repeatedly confirmed that Li Zhuoguang really has no interest in this so-called Triwizard Tournament. Participating in the competition was an accident, and completing the project was just a by-product. She asked Li Zhuoguang for clues not for Harry to win, but to prevent him from losing his life.

Li Zhuoguang and his friends were sitting at the long table of Gryffindor at this time. The Gryffindors around heard Hermione's question and immediately became alert. They began to observe the surroundings to see if there were any students from the other two schools approaching. There were even senior students who took out their wands and cast a blocking ear around them.

It was no secret that Li Zhuoguang solved the basilisk. After he went to the secret room alone to kill the monster and rescued Ron, Li Zhuoguang gained a very high prestige even in Gryffindor.

Now the Gryffindor people have figured it out. After all, they are all students of Hogwarts. It doesn't matter who wins the championship. The most important thing is not to let the warriors from the other two schools win the championship.

Li Zhuoguang casually said to Harry: "The golden egg contains the voice of a mermaid. Although it sounds harsh, I can understand what it is saying.

If you want to hear what it is saying, you have to put the golden egg in the water, open it, and then put your head in the water to listen. But I'll tell you straight here.

At that time, one of our more precious things will probably be taken away and hidden under the water. We will have to dive into the water to retrieve our treasure. "

Harry wondered: "Treasure? What is my treasure? Nimbus 2000?"

Li Zhuoguang shook his head: "It's all possible, maybe it's Sirius."

"Uh... there shouldn't be such a possibility. By the way, although I can swim, I can dive underwater..."

Li Zhuoguang patted Harry on the shoulder: "Don't think about it. With your second grade level, even if there are many targeted magics, you won't be able to master them in a short time.

Remember what I said? "

"What?"

"If you have any trouble, go to Snape."

Harry looked embarrassed: "Ah, this..."

Ron's reaction was even greater: "What?! Looking for Snape?! I'm afraid he wants Harry to quit the game."

If it were before, Harry would have agreed with Ron's words, but after that incident, every time Harry saw Snape, he would think of Snape desperately trying to protect him. But as Li Zhuoguang said, after that incident, Snape's attitude towards him became even worse.

"It's just a few unpleasant words, which go in the left ear and go out the right ear. You don't have to look at what others say, you have to look at what others do."

Harry nodded reluctantly, and decided to think of a solution before asking Snape for help.

At this time, Hermione put forward a different opinion: "Our principal is Professor McGonagall after all. Instead of asking Professor Snape for help, why not ask Professor McGonagall directly?"

Li Zhuoguang looked at Hermione as if she was mentally retarded: "I've been here for almost two years. Don't you still know Professor McGonagall's temperament? She is a fair and just person and will not do such damage. It’s a fair game.”

"Then Professor Snape..." At this point, Hermione suddenly patted her head. Maybe she was a little confused from reading last night. As long as Professor Snape seizes the opportunity, he will deduct points from Glencoe, which once deducted their consciousness.

From the first class at school, Snape personally demonstrated what shamelessness, double standards, and a flexible bottom line meant. If he wanted to, he could probably drink Polyjuice Potion and compete in Harry's place without any psychological burden.

Thinking of this, Hermione also turned to look at Harry: "Don't hesitate, Professor Snape is your best choice."
