Bab 82: Chapter 82: Concealment and the Truth
"Second, Miss Hermione Granger!" Dumbledore said loudly. "Facing dozens of chess pieces, she responded calmly and fought for opportunities for her companions. At the same time, she showed great courage and extraordinary bravery in the face of danger. For this, I will reward Gryffindor House with 60 points!"
His words once again caused cheers from the Gryffindor long table. Although Hermione was knocked down by Quirrell's spell as soon as she entered the last room, it took sufficient courage to enter that room, and this was the reason why Dumbledore rewarded Hermione for this.
Looking at the cheering little lions and the scowling little snakes, Dumbledore continued: "Third, Harry Potter! He also showed great courage and extraordinary bravery in the face of danger. For this, I will also reward Gryffindor House with 60 points!"
After talking about Harry, it was Lynn and Irina's turn.
Dumbledore said happily: "Finally, Lynn Rowle and Irina Lowell! Facing extremely dangerous enemies, they showed strong magical power and extraordinary courage. They defeated the terrifying enemy with their magical power and protected the peace of Hogwarts. For this, I will reward them 150 points each!"
As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, the whole hall was filled with cheers from students from various houses.
If the first three got points, the little wizards from other houses would have some objections, then Lynn and Irina's rewards were recognized by everyone.
Although Dumbledore did not say it clearly, everyone knew who the enemy Lynn and Irina faced was.
That was the mysterious man!
The Dark Lord who once brought darkness to the wizarding world and filled every wizard family with death and wailing!
It was incredible to be able to repel Voldemort as a first or second-year student!
Fortunately, Dumbledore gave Lynn and Irina 150 points each. If they had gotten 100 points, or 60 points like Hermione and Harry, people would be afraid the word "conspiracy" would be engraved on Dumbledore's forehead.
After all, compared with facing Voldemort and repelling him, just passing through the childish house trap, and then being knocked down by Voldemort or lying on the side to win the whole process was nothing.
At the end of the reward, Dumbledore also gave Gryffindor 10 points for Neville's bravery, but this little thing was too insignificant compared to the previous things, and this mere 10 points had no effect on the final result, so no one cared about the last 10 points.
"It seems that even if Dumbledore gave us extra points, the final winner is still Slytherin," Irina smiled lightly and said.
After Dumbledore announced the extra points, the tension at the Slytherin table finally relaxed. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and cheered for their House's victory.
After the ownership of the House Cup was determined, the year-end banquet officially began.
The year-end banquet is indeed one of the most sumptuous dinners in Hogwarts Castle in a year. The food on the long tables is almost all different, which makes people's appetites whet.
Lynn's fork was so fast that it was about to leave an afterimage, and the food piled high on Lynn's plate was constantly being eaten.
In fact, Lynn's movements were already very elegant, while Irina at the Gryffindor table on the other side was so fast that she almost grabbed the food directly.
"Mmm... wooo wooo, I'll finish it even if I choke to death!" Irina drank the drink in big gulps to prevent herself from choking to death.
Last time at the Halloween dinner, she didn't have a meal because of the troll incident, and at the Christmas dinner, she only ate a little because she was obsessed with opening blind boxes... oh no, opening lottery bags and firecrackers. Darn it, this time she must make up for the food at the Halloween dinner and the Christmas dinner! Irina's speed of eating shocked even Ron, who was chewing a chicken leg in each hand.
Soon, the year-end banquet was over, and the little wizards from various houses returned to their dormitories to pack up. The next day, everyone set out on their return journey from Hogwarts Castle. As the Hogwarts Express slowly drove into King's Cross Station, the little wizards jumped to meet their parents.
In a corner of King's Cross Station, Lynn silently watched Irina leave with a couple who looked younger, and then took the hand of the house-elf Gale beside him, and returned to Rowle Manor through Gale's Apparition. "The test for this school year ends here. At the beginning of the next school year, I will confirm your true identity, Irina..."
Lynn's mind was still thinking about what happened at Hogwarts this year.
Seeing Irina in the last room, Lynn had actually confirmed Irina's identity as a time traveler, but there was still a thin veil between him and Irina, and neither of them had broken it.
But now, after sensing Irina's kindness, Lynn decided to break this veil first and confess the identities of both time travelers.
"If it's one of us, well, it seems that I can prepare a good gift," Lynn thought to himself and walked into the Rowle Castle.
Lynn came to the living room of the castle and saw Rowena sitting on the sofa reading the Daily Prophet.
"Mom, I have something to tell you," Lynn said as he sat down next to Rowena, and then told her everything that happened in Dumbledore's office.
After learning that her husband had never been a Death Eater, Rowena was a little shocked, but then she felt relieved: "So that's why, although Hendry joined the Death Eaters despite my dissuasion, he often complained to me about Voldemort's cruelty... I didn't expect Hendry to be Dumbledore's undercover, and I didn't even know about this!"
Thinking of this, Rowena felt a little disappointed again.
Lynn consoled her: "Mom, he may not want to tell you the truth, but there are too many ways to get a person's memory in the wizarding world, whether it is Legilimency or Veritaserum, or my alchemy array, all can achieve this goal!"
Rowena nodded slightly and said: "I understand all this, I'm not blaming him for not telling me the truth, but because... after knowing the truth, I can no longer see the real him..."
After her voice fell, Rowena fell silent.
Yes, if the price of knowing the truth is the death of her husband, then Rowena would rather hope that Hendry would hide it from her for the rest of his life and be a Death Eater in her eyes for the rest of his life!
