The Admiral of Hogwarts

Seeing Headmaster Dumbledore bow and thank him, Hugo and the others immediately stood up, returned the bow, and said that these things were what they should do, and were not worth the Headmaster's thanks.

In the following time, everyone chatted for a few more minutes about some details of tonight, and then Headmaster Dumbledore signaled that everyone could leave here and return to their respective rooms to rest. So Hugo and the others bid farewell to Professor McGonagall and the others at the entrance of the Headmaster's office and walked towards their respective lounges.

"The things you three did today were still a bit reckless. What if you really encountered that person?" Because he was worried that there were still some dangerous factors in the castle, Professor Flitwick simply chose to send Hugo and the others back to Ravenclaw Tower. On the way, the Dean of Ravenclaw began to nag at Hugo and the other two.

"Sorry, Professor Flitwick." Listening to Professor Flitwick's nagging full of concern, Hugo said with embarrassment on his face. "The main thing is that Harry is our friend, and we couldn't find anyone who could help us for a while after we discovered the problem, so we could only be with him—"

"Alright, alright, I don't mean to blame you." Professor Flitwick said, "Although our Ravenclaw students are not known for their bravery, I still appreciate your behavior. Because whether it is bravely facing difficulties or trying to help friends, they are all very good qualities. I say this just to remind you that the next time you encounter the same thing, it is best to think more beforehand, and don't rush up directly when your head gets hot."

"For example, tonight's matter, you can completely tell me in advance and let me handle it, after all, I am your Dean." Speaking of this, Professor Flitwick shrugged his shoulders, "Of course! I admit that as a professor, sometimes I may ignore the information provided by you students, but I will pay attention to this aspect in the future."

"No, Professor, you didn't do anything wrong this time. The news we got before was really alarming, and it is difficult for normal people to trust those news." Hugo said, "And to be honest, we were indeed too reckless this time, but at least I don't regret it."

"Ha, your choice is also normal, after all, you are some children, and children will always do certain things because of temporary impulses." Flitwick smiled and said, "At least your actions this time were out of the pursuit of justice and friendship, so I don't think you have made any big mistakes."

If Hugo remembered correctly, he had read in the information in his previous life that Professor Flitwick, like Professor McGonagall, had made the Sorting Hat think for a long time during the Sorting Ceremony, and was even almost assigned to Gryffindor. Therefore, Professor Flitwick's attitude towards Hugo and the others' adventure was mainly positive.

Just as Hugo and the others left the Headmaster's office and prepared to return to their respective dormitories to rest, Headmaster Dumbledore also changed into his dressing gown and sat down in the chair behind the desk in his office. Then he began to talk to the headmaster portraits on the walls that had already woken up.

"I am very happy to see that our school has successors, whether it is the students of Gryffindor or the several students of Ravenclaw. I see wisdom, courage, and talent in them. Most importantly, I find that everyone has a kind heart."

"Ah, it's really surprising to hear such an evaluation from your mouth." Phineas Nigellus Black, the portrait of the most unpopular headmaster in Hogwarts history, showed a disdainful expression. "I remember you seemed to have said similar things half a century ago, but what about that person?"

"No, it's different." Professor Dumbledore waved his index finger at the portrait and said seriously. "Tom back then looked more intelligent, courageous, and talented than the children we met tonight. The only difference is that he doesn't understand love."

"After all, everyone's background, experience, education, etc., etc. are different. At least from tonight's events, I don't think these children will repeat the same mistakes and go down the wrong path." Professor Dumbledore finally concluded. "And I also understand what I should do and will not repeat the mistakes I made before."

Speaking of this, the Headmaster sighed deeply, and then a rare look of confusion appeared on his face. "I sometimes wonder now, if I had adopted a gentler approach back then, and paid more attention to Tom, maybe he wouldn't be—"

Of course, no one else knew about the Headmaster's memories or even regrets about the past. For example, Hugo was excitedly connecting to the Admiral Network at this time and began to count the Destiny Points he had obtained this time.

Because he participated in the most important event of the first-year finals in the original text this time and greatly changed the original plot, he naturally obtained a large number of Destiny Points. So, as soon as Hugo lay down on the bed, Victory's extremely excited voice entered his mind through the Admiral Network.

"Admiral, Admiral, a great harvest! This time, a total of 92 Destiny Points were obtained." Victory began to report in detail. "Among them, Neville's absence is 0.5 points, and your and Veneto's joining the team is 2 points. Using a different method from the original version to pass the three-headed dog Fluffy is 7 points, Veneto's taking action to grab that key is 12 points, and the slight changes during the chess game are 2 points."

"In addition, the most important part is that you successfully prevented the small team in the original text from entering the last three levels, and Harry did not face Voldemort, so a total of 52 Destiny Points were obtained. And the battle between the professors and Voldemort at the end and Voldemort's attempt to seduce you made you gain 16.5 more Destiny Points."

"This is simply a great harvest!" Hugo became excited all of a sudden after hearing the report. After all, compared to those Destiny Points that he had tried to change the plot to obtain before, this time it can be said that it broke out all at once. But soon after recovering from the excitement, a question immediately arose in his mind.

"To be honest, I feel that although tonight's action was more difficult than the previous few times I tried to change the plot, it didn't produce that kind of huge difference. Why did I get so many more Destiny Points this time?"

"To be honest, I'm not very clear about the details." After hearing Hugo's question, Victory, who existed as a system spirit, was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously. "But I think this may be related to some arrangements in the original text, or in other words, related to fate."

"Can you talk about it in detail?" Hugo was immediately intrigued when he heard Victory say this, so he asked, "Can you explain in detail what you mean by fate here?"
