Train to Another World.

Chapter 555 Follow-up
Life went on after the matter was resolved. The body of the snake monster in the secret room was fished out by a team of professors, and the flesh and blood were removed to make a specimen. Of course, the snake head was fake, and everyone knew where the real one went.

The specimen of the basilisk was placed in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, exactly two and a half circles around the classroom. 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 Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets had been destroyed.

Another major event was the retrial of a case that happened ten years ago. No one expected that after ten years, there would be a reversal. The hero who died that year was confirmed to be a Death Eater on the run.

The prisoner who had been wrongfully 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.

Just as Li Zhuoguang imagined, the pure-blood families launched an attack.

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

Countless Howlers are sent to the Ministry of Magic every day, and are handled by powerful Aurors. After all, if you don't listen to the contents of a Howler, it will lead to serious consequences, so you have to be careful when handling it.

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

No one would believe that a person who was wronged would be arrested, tried, and finally detained for more than ten years without ever crying out for injustice or applying for an appeal.

The Ministry of Magic could not produce any similar records or documents. What is this? This is a blatant act of deafness and dumbness, and a persecution of good 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 their brains been beaten by the trolls that they would allow themselves to be wrongfully imprisoned without saying a word of defense? Isn't the Ministry of Magic treating everyone as fools by explaining this? ! As a result, there were more shouting letters.

Perhaps in the entire magical world, only the Ministry of Magic itself knows how wronged it has been.

The turmoil in the outside world did not affect Hogwarts after all. Sirius was cleared of all charges, and the stationed Dementors were all sent back to Azkaban. The beheading of the Monster in the Chamber of Secrets also put the teachers and students of the school at ease.

Fleur Kuradel, Maxim's beloved student and a survivor of a recent basilisk attack, was quickly freed from petrification with the help of a potion sponsored by Hogwarts Potions Professor Snape.

As for Maxim, who had been clamoring for Dumbledore to give an explanation at the beginning, his attitude became much better. It was said that someone saw Li Zhuoguang from Slytherin having a brief negotiation with her, and after that, she easily accepted Dumbledore's apology.

No further mention was made of Furong's attack.

"My lady asked me to give this to you. Thank you for killing the basilisk and for providing the mandrake slices." Furong spoke English with a heavy accent. After handing a gift box to Li Zhuoguang, she ran away like a flash, as if Li Zhuoguang was some kind of human-shaped beast.

Li Zhuoguang opened the gift box and saw an alchemical gadget, similar to a music box, except that the little man inside could really dance. He looked at the note that came with it and it seemed that watching the little man dance could soothe the soul.

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

Although Fleur was still very young, the Veela's talents were already beginning to show.

Hermione glared at Ron unhappily, and then began to ask Li Zhuoguang openly, "I heard that you already have an idea for the second project. Why don't you tell Harry about it?"

Hermione was not someone without a sense of boundaries, but she had confirmed repeatedly that Li Zhuoguang really had no interest in the 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 save his life.

Li Zhuoguang and his friends were sitting at the Gryffindor table. When the Gryffindors heard Hermione's question, they immediately became alert and began to observe the surroundings to see if there were any students from the other two schools approaching. Some senior students even took out their wands and cast a magic spell to block the ears of the people around them.

It was no secret that Li Zhuoguang had solved the basilisk. After he went to the Chamber of Secrets alone to kill the monster and rescue Ron, Li Zhuoguang gained great prestige even in Gryffindor. Now the people in Gryffindor have also figured it out. After all, everyone is a student 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 voice of a mermaid is in the golden egg. Although it sounds harsh, I can understand what it is saying.

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

They will probably take away our precious things and hide them underwater, so we have to dive underwater to retrieve our treasures."

Harry asked in confusion: "Treasure? What is my treasure? Nimbus 2000?"

Li Zhuoguang shook his head: "It's possible. It might even be Sirius."

"Uh... that shouldn't be possible. By the way, I can swim, but diving underwater..."

Li Zhuoguang patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it. With your second-year 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, find Snape."

Harry looked embarrassed: "Ah this..."

Ron's reaction was even louder: "What?! Looking for Snape?! He might be hoping that Harry will quit the competition."

If it was before, Harry would agree with Ron, but after that incident, every time Harry saw Snape, he would remember how he risked his life to protect him. But as Li Zhuoguang said, after that incident, Snape's attitude towards him became even worse.

"It's just a few harsh words. They go in one ear and out the other. Don't look at what others say, look at what they do."

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

At this time, Hermione expressed a different opinion: "After all, our headmaster is Professor McGonagall. Instead of asking Professor Snape for help, why not ask Professor McGonagall directly?"

Li Zhuoguang looked at Hermione as if she were mentally retarded: "You have been here for almost two years. Don't you know Professor McGonagall's character? She is a fair and just person. She would not do something that would undermine the fairness of the competition."

"Then Professor Snape..." At this point, Hermione patted her head suddenly. Maybe she was a little confused after reading the book last night. Whenever Professor Snape got the chance, he would deduct a lot of points from Grant, and at one point they were so confused.

From the first class after entering the school, Snape personally demonstrated what shamelessness, double standards, and flexible bottom lines meant. If he wanted to, he could probably drink the Polyjuice Potion to replace Harry in the competition without any psychological burden.

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