Chapter 157: The Third Year Ends
On the last day of the semester, the school announced the exam results, and Malfoy's results seemed to him to be a no-brainer, while Pansy's results surprised him slightly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's been a lot of progress. Malfoy looked at the report card, touched his chin, and said appreciatively to Pansy.
Aside from the Transfiguration class, it seems to be generally pretty good.
"Of course. Pansy raised her little head proudly, and let out a muffled grunt from her nose.
Soon the last assembly of the semester arrived, and the scarlet and gold decorations of the entire auditorium were removed in favor of green draped streamers and silver ornaments, simple and luxurious.
On the wall behind the guest of honor, a banner depicting the green python symbolizing Slytherin hangs
Malfoy's Special Contribution Award this semester, combined with Slytherin's victory in Quidditch, made this year's House Cup a no-brainer.
However, it is obvious that the popularity of Slytherin House is not good, and only their own house is happy about it in the current auditorium.
What happened to Professor Lupin made many students very worried, and they even had a grudge against the Snake Academy.
Of course, they have not been very popular, and they are not worried about the negative impact.
"I heard that he is going to win the Special Contribution Award, and I think he should be deducted 500 points for forcing Professor Lupin away!" Ron sat down at the long table and kicked the stool at his feet with hatred, making a loud noise that drew the attention of the students around him.
Hermione, who was beside him, could only helplessly watch Ron do this childish behavior, shaking her head slightly.
Dumbledore on the podium cleared his throat and squinted his eyes around the Great Hall, and then all the students focused their attention and looked ahead, waiting for their headmaster to speak.
"It was not a quiet year at Hogwarts, a lot of things happened in between, and the two new teachers didn't even stay in their posts for a year or another for one reason or another......," Dumbledore's tone was steady, even if the facts were not so pleasant.
At this time, there were many students in the other three houses, all of them looked angrily at Malfoy sitting at the long table in Slytherin, especially the Gryffindor students, and now they were just counting the old and new hatreds, Malfoy even took away the House Cup that they had almost already owned, and Lupin was forced to resign.
As for the other three houses, none of them had a good opinion of Hagrid, but Professor Lupin did conquer them with his own standards, and they felt sorry for it.
"Then we credulously believed the lies of a sinner, and let the man who betrayed his friend be the hero, and the real warrior almost paid a heavy price for it, and the traitor was good at disguise, and even mixed into our school early, and swaggered here to accept our commendation, which is my dereliction of duty, and I am sorry. At this, Dumbledore's voice became deeper and deeper, and then he bowed deeply to all the teachers and students present.
There was a sudden whisper from the audience, most of the students thought that Dumbledore did not need to apologize for this, after all, the unjust case was caused by the Ministry of Magic, who would have thought that an innocent person would stay in prison for so long, and the person who should really be arrested was at large, almost turned into a hero worshiped by everyone.
Of course, this also illustrates a very serious problem. Dumbledore's voice suddenly became a little high-pitched, and he rarely used such an agitated tone in his usual manner. "Peter Pettigrew's example tells us that you are not completely safe at Hogwarts, and that bad intentions can always take chances, so now you need to undergo a more rigorous curriculum, and I am already trying my best to convince an experienced wizard to come and teach at our school, and I believe that you will be able to gain something next semester. ”
"Whew. Ron and Harry let out a long sigh of relief at the same time.
"When I heard Professor Dumbledore say that, I knew it wasn't Snape. Ron said happily, shaking his red hair.
"And who will he invite?" Harry asked, still missing Lupin a little.
"As long as it's not an old bat, anyone can do it. Ron seemed to speak a little louder, and then he felt a look of disgust staring at him, making him look like a man.
Snape, who was sitting in the teacher's seat, heard the words obviously, and his deep eyes flashed with a vicious light.
"Well, I gotta say, he's so lucky that he hates us so much and the two of us can still pass. Ron's voice was lowered. He didn't care if Snape stared at him more.
Anyway, the relationship is irretrievable now, and it has been an absolute opposing camp from the beginning.
At this time, Dumbledore's voice sounded again: "In addition, there is also a student who has won the Hogwarts Special Contribution Award this year, he is Draco Malfoy's classmate, if it weren't for him, we might still be buried in the dark, deceived by others, he successfully resisted the Imperius Curse and cooperated with the Aurors' actions." Dumbledore's azure eyes turned to Malfoy at the long table, and he glanced at him with an intriguing smile.
"With what? It's not like he's run away. Ron said maliciously.
Hermione, on the other hand, looked at Professor Dumbledore without squinting, with no obvious expression on her face, but if the two boys next to her were more careful, they would have seen that her body was tense now.
Malfoy simply got up from his seat, nodded in greeting, and sat back in his seat, without saying a word of "acceptance speech."
A not-so-enthusiastic applause erupted in the auditorium, and apart from the students of Cashlytherin's house, who had increased their admiration for Malfoy and were clapping as hard as they could, the students of the other three houses were not interested.
Pansy, who was sitting next to Malfoy, was now clapping her little hands desperately, her face full of excitement, and she was sincerely happy and proud of him.
Now she has temporarily put aside the plot of "heroes saving beauty", just excited for the first two words.
That's who she likes!
The words that followed were some of Dumbledore's trivia and summaries, and after a while, the words rang out.
"I now declare that your school year at Hogwarts has officially ended today, and I hope you enjoy the long holidays ahead. ”
This semester is finally over under Dumbledore's last sentence.
All the students, after this assembly, will board the Hogwarts Express and return to their homes to be reunited with their loved ones.
