He excels at deceiving minds, drawing people into his traps without their awareness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So he was tricked too?” Silven asked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You could say that,” Dumbledore nodded. “Before Tom Riddle cut his own palm, he certainly didn’t tell Lockhart the truth about the Chamber’s entrance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wizard’s blood does possess extraordinary magical power and can serve as a medium to break certain spells, but few wizards resort to this method, for the cost far exceeds what they imagine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dumbledore didn’t specify the cost, but from his expression, it was clearly not something two days’ rest could heal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Headmaster…” Snape stepped forward, as if to speak, but upon seeing Dumbledore shake his head slightly, he reluctantly stepped back, his eyes fixed on Silven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silven felt uneasy under his gaze and said to Dumbledore, “Headmaster, may I return to my dormitory? I’m truly fine—the Basilisk never touched me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry, Mr. Ollivander, but even as Headmaster, I cannot answer that question within the hospital wing,” Dumbledore said gently, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, I believe you’ll be pleased to hear another piece of news.” He blinked lightly and produced a scroll tied with colorful ribbons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Given your calm and composed conduct last night—your quick thinking in summoning Fluffy to assist Hagrid in eliminating the Basilisk—the faculty and governors have decided to award you the Special Contribution Award.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He handed the scroll to Silven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ribbon on it immediately twitched and untied itself, transforming midair into a golden medal, while the parchment unfurled naturally, revealing golden cursive script within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It commended his contribution to the destruction of the Basilisk—impressive in appearance and high in prestige; for anyone else, this scroll would have greatly aided their job prospects after graduation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For those aiming to become Aurors, this scroll was worth five outstanding N.E.W.T. certificates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Silven, it was useless—less valuable than a phoenix heartstring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do I need to place this in the Trophy Room?” Silven pulled out the golden medal; it felt heavy, as if forged from solid gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Silven had just seen it transform from a ribbon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, the Trophy Room already has an identical one. You may keep this as a memento.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A memento… Right, so it’s fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silven casually stuffed it into his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And…” Dumbledore continued, “Let me see… Ah yes—you’ve earned two hundred points for Gryffindor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Silven remained even more composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If those two hundred points counted toward next year, he might have felt a flicker of joy—but now, why bother? He’d already earned enough points to keep Gryffindor firmly in first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adding two hundred more merely turned their assured victory into an inevitable one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dumbledore had clearly come only to deliver these messages; once done, he rose to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snape finally seized his chance, stepping before Silven like a venomous serpent, staring at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Silven blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still pretending ignorance?” Snape sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I truly don’t know what you mean,” Silven stepped back. “If you’ve lost something, why not ask Filch? He might have found it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think you can fool me so easily?” Snape narrowed his eyes. “I ask you: where are the Basilisk’s eyes and fangs? And most importantly—the gall. Did you steal them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t,” Silven blurted. “On Merlin’s name, I didn’t steal any gall—I never even saw the thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silven’s tone was so firm that even Snape hesitated; instinctively, he felt Silven wasn’t lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how could that be? If not Silven, how else had those things vanished?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I suggest you check inside Fluffy’s mouth,” Silven said, as if seriously considering it. “When Fluffy bit through the Basilisk’s body, he might have swallowed the gall by accident.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And what about the eyes and fangs?” Snape stepped closer, pressing. “You only mentioned the gall just now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ask Hagrid about those,” Silven said. “He might have smashed them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even a giant cannot crush a Basilisk’s fangs with his fists,” Snape said slowly, each word deliberate. “The Basilisk had four massive fangs. Three have vanished without trace. Can you explain that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know, Professor,” Silven said, emptying his pockets onto the bedside cabinet—everything, including the scroll and the golden medal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everything I have is here. Professor McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey can confirm I was brought straight here after returning from the Quidditch pitch—I went nowhere else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snape opened his mouth to speak again, but Dumbledore stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Headmaster Dumbledore,” Snape frowned. “Those are the Basilisk’s eyes and fangs—extremely dangerous items. We cannot—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know, Severus. I know what you’re going to say,” Dumbledore turned, his bright blue eyes fixed on Silven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you see for yourself—Mr. Ollivander has nothing of yours on him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1028,"2026-06-20T04:03:11.805Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b07d3a66d359a1f4628f68859676a3aaba2c0bcad013026559658e19c702b528","hogwarts-don-t-call-me-a-wandmaker-chapter-147","hogwarts-don-t-call-me-a-wandmaker-chapter-145",149,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-don-t-call-me-a-wandmaker-cover.jpg"]
