"Headmaster?"

When Neville and Hermione arrived at Professor McGonagall's office, he was surprised to find Dumbledore there, and the white-bearded old man was sitting there for a long time, looking at Neville and Hermione with a smile.

"Well done. Dumbledore said, "If it weren't for the fact that this matter was not to be kept quiet, I would have liked to give you a special contribution award." ”

Neville was stunned for a moment, he came here with the mentality of being criticized or even severely punished, but listening to Dumbledore, it seems that he is still planning to give himself an award?

"Uh, we're not going to be penalized?"

"You would love to be punished?" Dumbledore asked rhetorically, rubbing his beard and recalling, "I remember you reacted the same way last time. ”

Neville scratched his head, Dumbledore hadn't intended to punish him after tearing down the Quidditch pitch tower last time, but he still "begged" Dumbledore to punish him. To others, this would be absolutely stupid, and if it spread, it would be another example of Neville being a fool.

"Of course not. ”

Neville shook his head, he wanted to continue, but Hermione pulled him. She took a few steps forward and placed the Philosopher's Stone on the table in front of Dumbledore.

Dumbledore raised an eyebrow, he just glanced at the Philosopher's Stone, and then continued to look at Neville, as if he didn't care at all about this very important stone, and even someone had already died for it, but found Neville more attractive than the Philosopher's Stone.

"I thought I had hidden it well, but I didn't expect someone to find it. Dumbledore nodded to Hermione, "Thanks, now I can finally give an account to my old friend, knowing that borrowing this from him is not easy." ”

Hermione's eyes flickered, as if she had thought of something, and Neville asked bluntly, "Headmaster, what did you borrow the Philosopher's Stone for?"

One of the lores of the Philosopher's Stone is to turn stones into gold, but Dumbledore shook his head, apparently not what he was asking for.

Dumbledore blinked, "I can't say that, because it's a secret between me and Nick." ”

"Okay. ”

"It's not too early, you can go back and rest. Dumbledore stood up, his stature was as tall as an oak tree, "As for the results of your disposition, especially how to reward them, I will do my best to deal with this matter, and it will not exceed the year-end banquet at the latest." Looking at Neville with a smile on his face, he asked, "What kind of reward do you want?"

Dumbledore said a lot about the reward, but he could only choose one, which was a painful headache for Neville, but he soon had a decision.

"Uh, can you give our house some points?" Neville said, "We're still a lot behind Slytherin, ...... this time"

Speaking of the back, Neville himself was embarrassed to continue, and Hermione couldn't even lift her head, because of what happened last time, they were deducted a lot of points, and Gryffindor went from first place to last place.

"I need to think about it. ”

Dumbledore said noncommittally, not giving a very clear answer, which worried Neville and Hermione, but there was nothing they could do.

At this time, Neville couldn't help but think that if there hadn't been so many points deductions before, maybe Gryffindor would have won the House Cup without any suspense after this incident, which was an honor that he had never won in recent years.

After saying goodbye to Dumbledore, Neville and Hermione returned to the common room, where they heard a snoring as they entered. While waiting, Ron actually fell asleep leaning there, and slept soundly.

"He's asleep!"

Hermione was angry, knowing that they had been playing with their lives down there before, although they didn't expect Ron to do anything, but sleeping there so carefree was really hot.

"Well, that's normal. ”

Neville scratched his head, his hair was much messier than before, of different lengths, and a large portion of it was burnt and looked like roasted mushrooms. Neville thought maybe he had to find a time to shave his hair clean, as summer was coming anyway, so it would be cooler.

However, that's all for later, and for now, it's better to go back and take a shower and get a good night's sleep.

That night, Neville had a dream, a rather terrifying one, that his Defence Against the Dark Arts class hung up.

It wasn't easy, Quirrell or Voldemort finally managed to get back in Neville's dream.

"The second item - Miss Hermione Granger...... She faced the flames and calmly reasoned logically, and I would reward Gryffindor House with twenty points. ”

Although there was no clear answer that day, and there was no movement for many days afterward, Dumbledore was able to honor Neville's request that day.

It was a surprise as Harry helped the team to victory over Ravenclaw in their final Quidditch match, and now the score gap between Gryffindor and Slytherin is not so terrible. Combined with Hermione's twenty points and Ron's ten points, Gryffindor was only twenty points away from Slytherin in first place.

The smiles on the faces of many of the Slytherin students froze, and they all looked at Dumbledore, with resentment, amazement, anger, and confusion.

The Gryffindor students were ecstatic, jumping up and down at the table, excited as they were only twenty points away from the House Cup, which could be an unprecedented comeback!

"Uh, are you alright?"

Neville patted Hermione on the shoulder, burying her face in the crook of her arm from the moment Dumbledore announced the bonus. Although it was hidden, Neville could hear Hermione sobbing quietly, and he didn't quite understand why he was crying when he was being given extra points and praise.

"The third item - Harry Potter ......," Dumbledore said, and the Great Hall suddenly became eerily silent, "...... He showed great courage and courage, and for that I would like to award Gryffindor House thirty points. ”

The noise was deafening, and those who shouted hoarsely while still mentally calculating the score knew that Gryffindor was now four hundred and eighty-two points, exactly ten more than Slytherin!

"That means," Dumbledore had to shout loudly to drown out the thunderous cheers, as even the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students were celebrating the sudden Slytherin fiasco, "and we needed to make some small changes to the dΓ©cor here." ”

He clapped his hands, and in an instant, the green dangling ribbons turned bright red, the silver ones turned gold, and the huge Slytherin snake disappeared, replaced by a majestic Gryffindor lion.

If anyone were standing outside the auditorium at this moment, they would probably think that there had been an explosion here, and the cheers at the Gryffindor table were rising higher and higher.

In the midst of laughter, Neville was happy, but he still had a question in his heart, but he didn't say it, but kept waiting.

However, Dumbledore seemed to have forgotten Neville the person.

Neville didn't get any extra points, and while it didn't matter if he had a bonus or not, Harry was still a little unhappy. Maybe no one else knows, but no one who actually went through it would think that their contribution would be greater than Neville's.

If Neville had some vague expectations at first, Dumbledore didn't give him another reward, because he had already surpassed Slytherin in his current score, so Neville would be happier if those extra points could be exchanged for something more meaningful.

People are always a little selfish, and since the collective honor has been obtained, what is wrong with pursuing personal pleasure?

But until the end of the dinner, Dumbledore didn't mention Neville's name.

It would be impossible to say that Neville didn't feel anything at all, and it would be impossible to say that Neville was full of resentment and resentment towards Dumbledore.

Neville is a person with a very painful memory, he will forget a lot of things, such as those unpleasant, he will remember many things, such as who is good to him.

This little thing, Neville forgot about the next day.

By the day the test results were announced, Neville had completely erased the incident from his memory, even though it was still recorded in the notebook.

"Hey, why are my grades in herbal medicine class so high?"

Neville looked at the final score on the report card, and the other subjects were either barely passing or not getting up or down, except for the Potions class, which was already good for him.

However, what does a score of 149 on the Herbal Medicine class exam mean?

The perfect score seems to be only 120 points, right?

"Huh, aren't you 109?"

"Uh, not 149?"

"You think too much, the full score is only 109! However, 109 is already the top ten in this class...... Neville, GJ!"

β€œβŠ™β–‚βŠ™β€

Neville ended his first year with a confused face, which suited his style of painting, didn't it?
