(bonus 2/3)
Every year around this time there will be some people who are happy and some who are sad.
But all the students wanted to enjoy their last day of school, so no matter what happens when they get home.
At least the end-of-year feast should be enjoyable and relaxing. It's because of this that you won't see any sullen students at dinner.
Lucas came with the two girls.
As long as there is no class, the three are almost inseparable.
"Lucas, my parents would like to invite you to dinner at home during the summer vacation, to thank you for taking care of me during our trip to Paris last year."
Lucas nodded without hesitation.
Then he looked at Cho on the other side.
At this time Cho was already wearing the Banshee's Tears around her neck.
"I, my parents, also invited you to dinner."
"That's right. Since I'm meeting with your parents, of course I can't favor one over another. I'll see you all during the summer vacation. Let's settle your affairs early."
Cho was very shy when she heard these words.
And Hermione gave Lucas a blank look, took Cho's hand and said, "Cho, let's go, just ignore him!"
After finishing speaking, she dragged Cho towards the long table of Ravenclaw.
Lucas shrugged, turned and walked towards the Slytherin table.
Slytherin and Gryffindor are enemies who don't like each other, but the two long tables in the great hall were close together again.
Seeing Lucas coming, the Slytherins stood up consciously.
This is a tribute to the Chief of their House.
Lucas smiled and walked gracefully to his seat and inadvertently looked at the Gryffindor long table.
At a glance, he noticed that Ginny Weasley was looking at him.
Lucas smiled and nodded at the redhead, which made the female Weasley extremely shy.
After Lucas took his seat, the Slytherins just sat back in their seats.
Looking at the vacant position on the teacher's table, Draco turned his head and said, "Do you think Dumbledore will try the same as last year?"
When it comes to last year, the faces of the students at their table are not very good.
Fortunately last year, there was Lucas who finally turned the tide.
It was precisely because of Lucas' performance at the time that the other year chiefs decided to elect him as the Chief of the House.
It's because Lucas conquered everyone in Slytherin at the time.
"Don't worry, Dumbledore is not stupid, that kind of thing happening once is enough."
Lucas hasn't answered yet when Pansy Parkinson was the first to answer that question.
Everyone nodded after listening, thinking that what she said made sense.
At this time, the fourth-year chief Marci Flint suddenly approached.
"I don't think so, some people have been spreading the word recently that Potter killed the basilisk and saved Hogwarts."
"Judging from the tone of those people, it seems that they think it would be unfair not to give them the House Cup."
After Marci finished speaking, she glanced at the Gryffindor table and everyone knew who she was talking about without asking.
Like last year, the people of Gryffindor spread the great achievements of their golden boy everywhere.
But it seems that there is no support from other Houses.
"Don't worry, what happened last year will never happen again~" Lucas said firmly.
Then he looked over his shoulder and there was a very small beetle lying there.
He hoped that Harry would make a big fuss.
It would be even better if he went and opened the Chamber again to prove it.
It's just that he didn't know that the appearance he saw in the Chamber was far from what he remembered.
None of that has anything to do with Lucas though.
What he really wanted was a bargaining chip with Minister Fudge.
And the bait that attracted Sirius and Lupin the werewolf.
In fact, when he read the original books and movies Lucas had a question.
Did Lupin just accept the position at Hogwarts only because he learned that Sirius escaped from prison?
And did he really not know that Sirius was innocent before Harry showed him the Marauders map?
Coincidentally, Sirius escaped from prison, and Lupin was successfully hired as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.
And it's on the premise that all the professors are also aware of his werewolf identity.
Lucas had to be suspicious.
Perhaps Lupin and Sirius had met before entering Hogwarts.
Now that the Marauder's Map was in his hands, it was impossible for Lupin to detect Wormtail's presence through the map.
Lucas wanted to see what the truth of the matter was.
~clap clap!~
Before he knew it, the teacher's seat was full of people.
Dumbledore clapped his hands, and the great hall immediately fell silent.
"Before the feast begins, let us applaud Professor Sprout and Madam Pomfrey."
"Thanks to them for cultivating mature mandrakes in time, and successfully administering the cure to the petrified people."
Dumbledore had just finished speaking when there was warm applause in the room.
Amidst the warm applause, the door of the great hall was suddenly opened and Hagrid's tall figure appeared in everyone's sight.
"Sorry, I'm late!"
Harry looked at Hagrid in surprise and immediately ran up to give him a hug.
"Harry, I'm proud of you. I've heard about your heroic deeds from Azkaban."
Hagrid's praise made Harry feel very embarrassed.
The young lions of Gryffindor's applause grew louder when Hagrid appeared.
Dumbledore stood up again.
"It's the end of the school year again, and I think everyone is looking forward to it, isn't it?"
Seeing everyone looking at him expectantly, Dumbledore smiled kindly.
Harry stretched his neck, holding his head high and seemed ready to receive the glory.
Dumbledore whetted the appetite of the crowd.
The house points for the four Houses were then announced.
"In Fourth place, Hufflepuff with 371 points."
"In Third place, Ravenclaw with 398 points."
"In Second place, Gryffindor with 447 points."
"And First place, Slytherin with 502 points."
The Slytherins looked proudly at the people around them.
While last year was Lucas's performance alone, this year's score is the effort of all the Slytherins.
A high score of 500 points was rarely seen even in the past.
Harry Potter looked at the Slytherin table calmly.
It was the same last year so he is not in a hurry.
Dumbledore's extra points must come later.
"Very well, everyone be quiet. Next, I announce that this year's House Cup has been won by Slytherin for the ninth consecutive time. Please applaud and congratulate them."
There was warm applause from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw.
But Gryffindor fell silent and everyone turned to look at Harry, even Ron looked surprised.
"Harry, what's going on here?"
"I, I don't know either."
Before Harry could react, Green and silver confetti floated down from the blue ceiling.
"Wait! Professor Dumbledore, please wait!"
Harry stood up abruptly shouting loudly to the teacher's table and the great hall suddenly became quiet.
Noticing that everyone's eyes were on him, Harry looked around and swallowed nervously.
"Headmaster, don't you have anything else to announce?"
Dumbledore looked at the nervous child in the middle of the hall and the spirited blond boy from last year suddenly appeared in his mind.
After comparing the two, he sighed inwardly.
"Harry, I understand what you want to say, but we found that there are many inconsistencies in the process described by the few of you."
"Inconsistencies?" Harry turned to look at Ron and Ginny, seeming to be asking what they had said to Dumbledore.
In an instant, the people in the room focused their eyes on the two of them.
Ron looked left and right and said nervously: "Harry, I was waiting for you at the entrance pipe, so I didn't see any basilisk."
"Then you should have heard the voice too!" Harry reminded.
Ron hesitated for a few seconds: "But I didn't hear anything."
Harry shook his head, then looked at Ginny Weasley on the other side.
Ginny said bluntly, "I just remember how I got in."
"Then I didn't know anything, and when I woke up from the coma, I saw you and Lucas Grindelwald."
Bringing up Lucas, Harry hurriedly turned to look at the other party.
At this moment, the desperate Harry actually pinned all his hopes on Lucas.
But when he saw the apology in Lucas' eyes, his heart suddenly felt cold.
"I'm sorry Harry, but when I went in to find you I didn't see any basilisk."
"Of course, maybe it was there before I went in, maybe it got away, didn't it?"
The students were not stupid.
They heard that Lucas seemed to be trying to help back Harry Potter with the matter of the basilisk.
But Harry didn't seem to appreciate it.
"No! It doesn't make any sense, that basilisk was about fifty meters long"
"I pierced its brain with the sword of Gryffindor, and I also destroyed Voldemort's diary."
Harry told everything he had been through and even said Voldemort's name.
This made a lot of people in the great hall show expressions of fear.
Looking at Harry who was getting more and more flustered, Dumbledore frowned.
He doesn't know what happened to the child in front of him, but now is not the time to study these things.
"Harry, calm down!"
Dumbledore's loud voice rang in Harry's ears and he gradually became calmer.
Seeing that everyone doesn't believe in him, Harry whispered: "Professor, I can prove it. Let's just open the Chamber of Secrets and go in to take a look."
Hearing Harry's words, Professor Snape's eyes lit up.
He coveted the corpse of the basilisk but he had thought he had no chance. Unexpectedly, Merlin brought this rare opportunity to him again.
"Headmaster, I think that what Mr. Potter said is somewhat reasonable, and I agree to enter the Chamber of Secrets.
Professor Snape had just finished speaking and Professor McGonagall also nodded.
Since this matter has become like this today, if they don't enter the Chamber, it may not be easy to solve.
Dumbledore saw that the other professors had no objections either so he led everyone to the bathroom on the second floor.
Under everyone's gaze Harry used Parseltongue to open the chamber of secrets again.
Several professors looked at each other and slid down the rope one by one.
As one of the parties involved, Lucas, Ginny and Ron also followed.
At the same time, the prefects of each House also entered the Chamber of Secrets as witnesses.
