Chapter 645： Bad intentions and cleverness

Chapter 645 Bad intentions and cleverness

The news that the heir of Slytherin had been captured quickly spread throughout the castle. The remaining students left the lounges of their respective houses and hurried to the Great Hall to attend the celebration banquet.

When Albert and Hermione arrived at the auditorium, they met Filch holding a cat at the door of the hall. The administrator actually gave Albert a scary smile.

“I think Filch wants to thank you.”

When Hermione walked into the auditorium, she secretly glanced back at Filch and whispered to Albert, "If it weren't for the powerful recovery potion you provided, we would have stayed in the hospital bed for more than a month."

 Speaking of this matter, Hermione was a little scared, because it meant that after waking up, she would have to face the final exam. Taking the exam without preparation would be a disaster.

The auditorium was very lively, and a group of people were surrounding Harry, asking all kinds of questions about what happened in the Chamber of Secrets.

 Fortunately, Fred and George warned Harry in advance and did not let him reveal the matter.

 “Hermione!”

Standing outside the crowd, Ron saw Hermione entering the hall with Albert and walked over quickly.

 Fred, George and Lee Jordan waved to Albert.

However, Albert ignored the three of them for the time being, walked towards the long table of Ravenclaw, walked up to Isobel, stretched out his hand to take off the gold-rimmed glasses on her face, "There is no need for this now. It’s a toy.”

Although Isobel is more intellectually beautiful with glasses, Albert still likes her appearance without glasses.

 “Is the matter resolved?” Isobel noticed the change in Albert’s mentality at a glance.

"It's been solved. He is truly the savior." Albert looked at Harry who was surrounded by the crowd and sighed softly.

"Our great detective, stop hiding. Now everyone knows that you found out the heir of Slytherin and found the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets." Katrina's voice was loud, causing many girls to surround Harry. They all rushed this way, completely surrounding Albert, chattering and asking questions.

Isobel looked at her boyfriend who was surrounded by girls, and looked at her sister reproachfully.

“That guy obviously has a girlfriend, but he still messes with other girls!” Katrina just saw Albert walking into the hall talking and laughing with a girl.

As for why he came late, there is no need to ask. He is probably the prince who wakes up the princess.

Although Hermione Granger is not necessarily a princess, Albert is regarded as the Prince Charming in the eyes of many girls at Hogwarts.

 “You’re not angry at all?” Katrina felt incredible.

"not angry."

Isobel put away her gold-rimmed glasses, looked at her sister, and asked: "Why are you angry? Just because you said a few more words to other girls?"

Katrina looked at her sister with shocked eyes and asked in disbelief: "Isn't it possible that you guys have broken up?"

"How can it be!"

Isobel looked at Albert who was surrounded by the crowd, and couldn't help but feel relieved. She probably guessed what Albert had done.

To be honest, Isobel didn’t like Albert to take risks.

At this moment, even with her knees, Katrina could easily guess what the two of them were hiding from her. Something must have happened between them that she didn't know about.

 “Could you two...”

Katrina remembered Isobel going to Sicily with Albert during the winter vacation. She obviously got along well with Albert's family, and her mother also liked Albert very much.

"No way!"

“Albert will graduate from school in three years.” Isobel knew what was going on in Katrina’s head at a glance, and reminded her rather speechlessly.

 “Why don’t you wear a ring?”

Katrina had long expected this day, but she still couldn't help but feel jealous. If it was that guy, it wouldn't be a strange thing to do.

As for the fact that there is no ring, Katrina doesn’t believe it at all, otherwise how could Isobel have this attitude.

 The appearance of Dumbledore freed Albert from the crowd.

The banquet began, and the plates were piled with food as usual, even more sumptuous than the first-term banquet. The house elves in the kitchen must have tried their best.

Albert even saw a few foreign dishes.

"I have good news for everyone." Dumbledore motioned for everyone to keep quiet. "The heir of Slytherin has been captured."

"who is it!"

Not only did the auditorium not become quiet, but it became noisy. People couldn't wait to know who the culprit was.

"It's the same person as last time." Dumbledore said with a smile, "But this time Voldemort acted through another person, relying on the diary he left behind."

　　When Dumbledore mentioned Voldemort, the students in the auditorium couldn't help but tremble, their faces full of shock and uneasiness.

"Now that the attack is completely over, the school will return to its previous calm." Dumbledore raised his hand and made a quiet gesture, "However, I have something regrettable to tell you. Professor Lockhart has discovered the secrets of the Chamber of Secrets. Secret has been cast by Voldemort with a strong forgetting spell and is no longer qualified for the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, so the remaining Defense Against the Dark Arts courses and exams this semester will be temporarily cancelled."

 Halfway through the banquet, someone interrupted me.

Lucius Malfoy appeared at the entrance of the Great Hall angrily and staged a famous slap-in-the-face scene for everyone. When he left, his face was twisted with anger.

“Harry, do you know how a house elf can be freed?”

Albert looked at the old Malfoy who left angrily, winked at Harry and said, "Master just needs to throw some clothes to the house elves, and they can regain their freedom. If you want to help that poor house elf, Elf, this is a good idea!”

 “But what should I do?”

Harry asked, he wanted to help Dobby get rid of the Malfoy family.

"Why don't you ask the clever Miss Granger?" Albert forked a piece of steak into his mouth, "I'm sure she will help you find a way."

 “We will also help you find a solution.”

 Ron said with his mouth full of food and slurred speech.

“We will also help you find a way.” Fred and George immediately agreed, waving knives and forks among the food.

It would be great if the Malfoy family could lose their house elf. They have not forgotten that Ginny's suffering was all caused by the old Malfoy.

This matter cannot be settled like this no matter what.

Some people are happy, some are sad, and some are happy and sad at the same time.

In the Office of the Minister of Magic, Fudge was happy and annoyed after receiving a letter from Dumbledore. Dumbledore told him in the letter that he had successfully uncovered the heir of Slytherin and rescued Miss Weasley who was kidnapped by a monster into the Chamber of Secrets. The attack was over, and the real murderer was not Rubeus Hagrid.

Fudge actually didn't care about the life or death of that stupid guy, but he had not forgotten that if Hagrid was proven innocent, the Ministry of Magic would need to publish a newspaper to mention Hagrid's reputation and make Fudge admit his mistakes. It would be even more disgusting than feeding him flies. .

Even though Fudge wanted to pretend he had forgotten about it, Dumbledore reminded him of it again at the end of the letter.

“He must have done it on purpose.” Fudge threw away the letter angrily, called his assistant, and asked him to find a remote corner of the Daily Prophet where no one would notice and publish the matter.

  In any case, as long as the Daily Prophet reported it, he would not have broken his promise. As for whether anyone noticed it, it was none of his business.
