Chapter 77: Year-end Dinner (Ask for Recommendation Tickets!)

"Did you hear? Harry, they went to the right hallway on the fourth floor last night, the one Dumbledore said he would be seriously injured and die if he went!"

"Ahh......h

"Not really, they're alive and well now. But it's said that the innermost room in that corridor is hiding a treasure! Harry, they went in to stop the Dark Wizard from stealing it!"

"Did he succeed then?"

"Of course, he's a savior! I heard from the Weasley youngest son that they beat that dark wizard to ashes!"

......

Listening to the discussion of the classmates around him, the expression on Link's face was very strange.

He could never have imagined that Dumbledore would be so attached to his plan.

Even if Quirrell, the villain of the original plot, was already dead, he had to force another 'dark wizard' to be pressed so that Harry could carry out the 'Boys and Girls Rush Forward' show smoothly.

Shaking his head a little speechlessly, Link followed the group into the auditorium.

At this moment, the auditorium has changed from ordinary simplicity to a magnificent appearance.

Countless candles float in the air, reflecting the transparent magical ceiling above the auditorium.

Of course, the most striking thing is the large number of blue Ravenclaw flags in the auditorium, which together almost turn the auditorium into a sea of blue.

This is a prize for the final winner of the Academy Cup.

Ravenclaw House relied on its own excellent strength, and directly overtook each other at the end of the semester when Gryffindor and Slytherin attacked each other and lost both, and won the first place in the house points.

In second place was Hufflepuff, and thanks to Cedric's efforts, the Quidditch champion added a lot of points to Hufflepuff.

Slytherin and Gryffindor were in third and fourth place, respectively.

The Hufflepuffs were overjoyed that they didn't win the House Cup, but they finally didn't have to finish bottom.

That's enough to satisfy all Hufflepuffs.

And to be honest, Slytherin House has been robbed of the House Cup, which they have won for 6 consecutive years, but their current form is okay.

After all, there is such a bottom as Gryffindor below them.

It was Gryffindor who was really uncomfortable.

This group of proud lions not only lost to the vipers and eagles, but also to the little badgers, which they could not accept in any way.

As for Ravenclaw.

Then it goes without saying.

At this moment, they were all jumping on the table and dancing.

Just looking at their excited appearances, Link sighed.

Because he knows it well.

Dumbledore wouldn't sit back and watch Gryffindor at the bottom.

Since his old man had forced the plot to arrange for Harry and them to go on an expedition, it was only natural that he would give Gryffindor points at the last minute, as in the original books.

Shaking his head, Link sat down with Cedric and the others.

At this moment, the originally lively auditorium suddenly fell silent.

Link instinctively looked behind him, and saw Harry and Hermione slowly walking from the foyer.

They looked a little embarrassed, and Hermione was even more ashamed to burrow into the ground.

It wasn't until they were seated that the whole auditorium was back to normal.

And then, Dumbledore arrived.

He went straight to the podium from the back door of the auditorium, and looked at the students below for a long time, until they were all quiet, and then spoke:

"Another year has passed, and before I can enjoy the food, I must trouble everyone to listen to an old man's cliché......"

From the podium, Dumbledore gushed.

The Hufflepuffs around Link were all talking.

Because it wasn't Dumbledore's style, he had never been like this before.

Most of the other colleges are also like this, and only Ravenclaw listens to it with relish.

It's normal, they're waiting for Dumbledore to announce that they're the House Cup champions!

Dumbledore didn't let them wait long, and after a few minutes Dumbledore turned his attention to the Ravenclaw flags in the Great Hall, and said with a smile:

"Regarding the Academy Cup, Ravenclaw is currently in first place with a high score of 493. But there are a few more things to count before the winner is actually announced. ”

As soon as these words came out, Ravenclaw's originally excited expression instantly froze.

Dumbledore smiled at Harry and said:

"Everybody knows, right? Harry and his classmates protected the Philosopher's Stone that my best friend had stored with me last night. And to reward them, I'm hereby deciding, Ron Weasley, 50 points. Hermione Granger, 50 points. Harry Potter, 70 points. Finally, Neville Longbottom, your courage earned you 10 points!"

Inside the auditorium, there was a sudden eerie silence.

Everyone sat in their seats as if they had been enchanted with petrification.

Soon, however, a deafening cheer rang out from the Gryffindor table.

Every Gryffindor cheered as loudly as they could, and at the end they even began to chant Harry Potter's name in unison.

Because, after Dumbledore gave so many extra points, Gryffindor's score has instantly changed from the bottom to the first!

"Well, I think the décor here needs to be replaced. ”

Dumbledore smiled and waved his finger, and then all the flags in the Great Hall changed color, and the giant eagle on it was directly replaced by a lion.

Under the light of those candles and flags, the entire auditorium turned into a sea of gold and red.

"It's not fair!"

At the Ravenclaw table, there were many people protesting loudly.

There are also quite a few Slytherins who do the same, and Vipers and Eagles are very rare when it comes to dealing with Gryffindors.

It's a pity that Dumbledore doesn't seem to want to ignore them, and directly announces the start of the dinner.

A large number of delicacies appeared on the long table in front of everyone.

The Hufflepuffs beside Link immediately began to cook with smiles on their faces.

For the little badgers, they hadn't expected the House Cup or anything from the beginning, and they weren't in the slightest bit interested in the current quarrel in the auditorium.

Instead of getting involved in this mess, it's better to have a good meal!

Link didn't join the cooking team like his classmates, he stared at Dumbledore, who had slowly returned to the faculty seat, but he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

He knew very well that Dumbledore was doing this to foster Harry's self-confidence and Harry's love for Hogwarts.

It's just that this approach is also provoking contradictions between various colleges.

Slytherin aside, they had been bitter enemies with Gryffindor from the beginning anyway.

But Ravenclaw is different.

They started out in the same neutral position as Hufflepuff.

And in terms of strength, they are no worse than Slytherin.

Is it really good to do that?

Link sighed heavily, and at this moment, Dumbledore in the faculty seat seemed to sense Link's gaze, and he turned his head and smiled meaningfully at Link.
