Chapter 077: Final Carnival
Chapter 077: Final Carnival
However, their Seeker had an accident after the final exam and had to be replaced by substitute Cho Zhang, who had no game experience and was a Comet 260 with a broomstick, so she had to follow Draco.
Slytherin managed to win the Quidditch Cup very smoothly, and since its total score was much higher than that of the other three houses, and the other three Deans could not make excuses to deduct points like Snape did, the House Cup ended up in their hands, which meant that the final party would be decorated in green and silver.
This upset the other three houses, who believed that the Ravenclaw Seeker's accident was deliberately caused by Slytherin, but they found no evidence and had to spoil the atmosphere at the final party.
But the Slytherins didn't mind, or rather, they were used to it, they would do whatever they could for victory, and they wouldn't care about any means, after all, there was an example of Snape the Favoritism, so they preferred to have an all-night party after the party.
Amid the flickering coloured lights, the Slytherins put aside their restraints and enjoyed their triumphs in song and dance, especially the graduating seventh-graders, who were all getting drunk and squandering all their passions.
Because from tomorrow onwards, they will always wear masks, take on all kinds of responsibilities, and fight for the future of themselves and their families until the last moment of their lives, and this is their last night at Hogwarts, and the only one without consequences.
The second-year students did not participate in the end-of-term carnival last year, because the first-year students were still in the inspection period, so as soon as they returned to the dormitory, they could not come out again, it was not a test when they first entered the school, but a real entry and exit, when Catherine went to find Dumbledore, and Ixisy stayed at the door and waited for her to return.
So when the other grades began to indulge, they were still dumbfounded, but soon the older girls took the playboy Brace away, Daphne and Theodore looked at each other and ran onto the dance floor, Draco wanted to invite Catherine, but was forcibly pulled away by Pansy, Crabbe and Goyle stupidly followed to join in the fun, and Millicent stopped staying out of the way.
Only Catherine shook her head, took a glass of champagne and wandered slowly, ready to find an unnoticed corner to hide and "watch the show", but found that those places had already been occupied by couples.
"Why don't you dance?" When Catherine was a little annoyed, Ixissi suddenly appeared in front of her.
"It's too noisy!" Catherine ruffled her hair and drew his attention to the plug in her ear.
"Can you hear me?" Ixissi looked down in surprise.
"I'll look at the shape of the mouth." Catherine smiled.
"That's it!" Ixissi suddenly grabbed her by the arm and dragged Catherine onto the dance floor.
Catherine hurriedly struggled to break free, but the person was still pulled into the dance circle, and she could only continue to flash her body to avoid the senior who was dancing wildly, but in the end she accidentally bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry!" Catherine hurriedly apologized, but when she looked over, she realized that it was Kensaut who had bumped into her, and she was so drunk that her cheeks were red, and she didn't know how much she had drunk.
"Catherine?" Kenshott struggled to open his eyes, "I have to apologize to you!" She grabbed the red-haired girl's shoulder and shook it vigorously, "I hurt you so badly!" β
"You don't have to apologize!" Catherine pressed Kensauert's hand hard so that she wouldn't be really stunned by her, "I'm entirely to blame for my injury!" β
"Nope! It's me who is wrong! Kenshott patted his chest hard, his face full of pain, "If it weren't for me, you and Demeter wouldn't have had an accident!" I'm really very! Very! I hate you guys so much! β
"I understand!" Catherine found herself unable to communicate with Kenshott at all, she was completely drunk, "Is there anything you want to do most but can't?" The red-haired girl pulled her head down and whispered in her ear.
"What do you want to do but can't do?" Kensaut's eyes suddenly stopped confused, she stared at the floor angrily, and shouted through gritted teeth, "My brother! I want to kill him! The deafening music drowned out her voice, which only Catherine heard.
"I remember he's coming to Hogwarts next year?" Catherine smiled and looked into Kensaut's eyes, "Do you need my help 'taking care' of him?" β
Kenshott was stunned for a moment, and then showed a strange smile: "It's not an honor!" Then she suddenly straightened up, raised her head and let out an insolent laugh.
The people around him glanced over, turned their heads and continued to writhe exaggeratedly to the music, and Kensault also hugged a boy next to him, shaking his head vigorously.
Seeing this, Catherine could only smile wryly and shake her head, continuing her journey away from the dance floor.
"I remember tonight was party night?" Snape looked in surprise at the girl who had just sneaked into his office.
"It's too noisy!" Catherine slumped down on the couch, took off her earplugs and rubbed her ears vigorously.
"Why don't you use a soundproofing charm?" Snape got up and put away the semester's transcript.
"I'm not used to it!" Catherine looked at the back of her right hand, where she had just finished painting the last main rune last night.
"Don't think about it tonight!" Snape walked over and took her hand, "Music! Suddenly a piece of music sounded in the office.
"Dancing?" Catherine rose in surprise and placed her hand on Snape's shoulder.
"Don't you?" Snape asked rhetorically, only to find that Catherine's head was almost up to his shoulder, "You've grown taller." β
"I didn't expect that either." Catherine smiled and said, "After the injury, I started to grow taller. β
"You're going to get hurt a few more times!" Snape raised an eyebrow, and Catherine couldn't help but laugh happily.
Snape shook his head, put his arm around her waist, and danced slowly with Catherine to a soft waltz.
At breakfast the next day, the report card was sent along with the notice "No use of magic during the holidays", Catherine was held back by the results of the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, and once again did not get the first place in the grade, and it was still Hermione and Draco who got the first place in the grade, much to the displeasure of the platinum boy.
The next day, they leave school on the Hogwarts Express, and Catherine, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and the twins occupy a separate compartment and buy a whole bunch of snacks.
Harry and Ron make the most of the last hours of magic allowed before the holidays to play magical games, the twins whispering about their next plans, and Catherine and Hermione chatting about where to go for the summer vacation.
Suddenly, Ginny ran in in a panic, as if something was chasing them behind her, and as soon as she entered, she crouched down and blocked her figure with the door panel.
The people in the cubicle were stunned for a moment before continuing what had happened, and the twins ran to the window, leaning out of them, and then saw Percy hurrying from the end of the hallway, asking if they had seen Ginny.
"Nope!" The twins shook their heads neatly, "What happened to Ginny?" They asked eagerly.
"It's me who has something to do with her!" Percy shouted in frustration and continued to walk briskly across the hallway.
"Can you tell us nowβ"βwhat happened to Percy? The twins crouched down and sang, "Our dearest sister, Ginny! β
"I just saw Percy hiding in the bathroom with a girl."
Fred and George fell directly to the floor, and the "crackling explosion" that Ron was playing instantly blackened his face, and Harry and Hermione opened their mouths together, only Catherine said very calmly:
"It's Penelo Crivat, the prefect of Ravenclaw, right?" The red-haired girl patted the empty seat between her and Hermione and motioned for Ginny to come and sit down, "We just started school, and they've been together. β
"So, last summer, Percy wrote so many letters to her!" Fred looked overjoyed.
"No wonder Percy has been sneaking around the school all year," George smiled brightly, "I thought he was trying to catch us?" β
Then the twins immediately got together and said something sneaky.
"Haven't you decided where you're going for the summer vacation?" When the train starts to slow down, Ron can't help but ask the girls.
"It's hard to be sure, the Hermione family has already booked to go to France, but I want to go to Germany to see, and it's hard to agree." Catherine reluctantly says that she didn't just go to Germany to play.
"It must cost a lot to go abroad, and I don't know how much time it takes to find the wizarding world in a foreign land, so I'm afraid we will have to separate." Hermione felt equally helpless.
"You're not going to leave me alone at the Dursleys, are you?" Harry looked at Catherine pitifully.
"Of course not!" Catherine smiled and said, "I'll pick you up when I've booked my trip!" By the way, give me your address book first, and I'm going to do an upgrade. β
Harry, Ron, and Hermione immediately pulled out their red notebooks, and the twins and Ginny curiously approached to ask about their functions, and they ordered three.
"It's called a phone number." When the train stopped, Harry pulled out his quill and scribbled down a string of numbers on a piece of parchment, handing it to Ron, "Last summer, I told your dad how to use the phone, and he would understand, remember to call me." β
"Okay!" Ron carefully put away the note, picked up his luggage and followed the others out of the compartment, where he was taken away by the crowd.
They had a great deal to get out of Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, and as soon as they got out, they were met by the enthusiastic Weasleys, who were accompanying Hermione's parents, and when the children had arrived, they walked together to the exit of King's Cross Station.
When Hermione and the Weasley siblings had loaded their luggage into the car, the Dursleys appeared, and when they saw Catherine, Penny immediately took a few steps, but when she caught a glimpse of the person next to the red-haired girl, she suddenly stopped.
Sensing his aunt's appearance, Harry looked at his sister, Catherine shook her head slightly, and he had no choice but to walk over alone, Penny eagerly asked him a few words, and continued to look at the red-haired girl with complicated eyes until she was pulled away by Vernon.
After bidding farewell to everyone one by one, Catherine activated the confusion charm on her school robes, summoned Dobby to apparition, and sent her to the door of Seventeen Spider Tail Alley.
