End of classes

Arthur apparated to Snape's room, the boy was with wounded rods on his body, along with a gigantic weariness, the professor nearly fainted when he saw a boy in mask along with a snake in his lap.

- Teacher! Please save Hope, "said the boy, fainting on the floor, Arthur thought he could bear to apparate, but it cost him far more than he thought, his last strength he had used to attack the Basilisk.

- I don't think Dumbledore pay me enough - poor Snape said as he pushed his things off the table, letting Arthur and Hope lie down, he did not know which ones were worse.

-------------------------------------------------- ------

Arthur woke up three hours later with his whole body aching, the boy got up and saw the snake on his side, Hope had several bandages on his body, his heart ached just to look at his friend.

- Your snake is fascinating, you're lucky to find an albino Jararaca - Snape said as he read his book, Arthur did not care about it, he was only concerned about his friend.

- Snape, is she going to be all right? - Arthur said worried about Hope, the boy caressed the poor snake.

- Do not worry about it, Mr. Melo, they can handle it, in four days it should wake up and in 1 week it should be back to normal - Snape replied without looking at the boy.

- Thank you, Snape, for taking care of Hope for me - Arthur lowered his head, and the professor set the book aside and looked at the boy.

- No problem, you must be the Zero that everyone is talking about, is not it? Snape laughed, Arthur was confused, but he nodded.

- The students are meeting in the main hall, you must go there, I'll keep an eye on the snake in the meantime." Snape said as he stretched and headed toward him, Arthur got up and walked to his room.

--------------------------------------------------

At first the boy went to the common room, where he went to take a shower and change his clothes, nor Arthur was able to withstand his scent, when he took off his clothes, saw rags scars because of the fight "Lyanna can not know it" He thought throwing himself into the bathtub, the water burned his wounds that had just closed, the boy stayed a long time to join forces to leave the place.

When Arthur changed and left his room, he saw 5 people waiting for him at the door, with a smile on his face, he accompanied his group to the main hall.

- Where did you go, Arthur? - We've been looking for you all over the school, "Bella said worriedly.

- Don't worry, I was solving something with Snape - The boy lied without blinking, Arthur has been lying since when he was born, unfortunately it had become a routine for him.

- What do you do with Snape? - Anna asked curiously at the same time, a little nervous, she could not believe what her cousin was saying.

- You know I can not talk, Snape would rip my head off I said - Arthur said as the group walked they saw Lucius Malfoy walk past them with a face of rage, "Someone has lost a elf" Arthur thought with a smile.

- Are you limping Arthur?" Gabriella asked beside him, they all turned to look at the boy.

- I hurt my knee back to the common room," thought the boy, smiling, his luck being that his friends were only 11 years old and they did not think much about it.

When they reached the hall, they saw several Gryffindor flags hanging on the wall, "Gryffindor won," Arthur thought, they walked to the Slytherin table, everyone had an expressive that they had just taken the world's worst medicine.

After a few minutes of waiting, Dumbledore appeared in the middle of the hall about to make his speech, he talked about this year's problems, explaining some things about the secret chamber and Tom Riddle, Dumbledore also talked about the bravery of Harry, Ron and Hermione , for saving Gina and defeating the Basilisk, so they each received 50 points giving the Gryffindor victory. Arthur also deserved the points, but, he did not want to reveal his identity.

After the speech, Dumbledore dismissed the students, Gryffindor students were having a party in the Hogwarts camp, some Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students joined the party, while the Slytherins returned to the common room with their faces tied.

The last week passed quickly, Hope had recovered, she was able to walk and eat normally, the atmosphere was quieter at school after the attacks were over.

Arthur heard people talking, that a masked face had saved Gina from the evil Tom Riddle.

- He defeated Tom Riddle with just one spell and in the battle of the Basilisk he destroyed the snake with just one look - Every time he heard this story, someone added something, he even heard from Fred and George that he had asked Gina in marriage after save it.

People wanted a hero, so they increased their deeds, they were curious to find out who that person was, many said they were them, but only Arthur, Dumbledore, and Snape knew who he was.

When he arrived on the last day of class, Arthur was packing his suitcases, while Dumbledore appeared in the doorway of his room, he did not expect his teacher to appear out of nowhere and could not help but shout a super-masculine scream.

- For someone who has defeated Tom with just one spell, you startle yourself very easy -Dumbledore said as he smiled, the teacher worried about something.

- People like to exaggerate, Professor, it was me who took a beating - The bland boy spoke as he scratched his head.

- They may have exaggerated, but that does not hide the fact that you overcame the Basilisk and Tom Riddle, I heard the true story of Harry, Ron and Hermione - said Dumbledore, sitting on the edge of his bed.

- Sorry for asking, sir, but why are you here? - Asking Arthur to be polite at the same time as he was curious.

- It's about your parents .. - He had some problems in Azkaban, they and a few death-eaters managed to escape.
