The last all-school banquet at the end of the semester came in the harsh winter, and the large auditorium was filled with people decorated in green and silver to celebrate their seventh consecutive year of winning the House Cup. On the wall behind the guest of honor stood a large banner depicting Slytherin snakes. Every student at the Slytherin table was talking excitedly when Augustus came in, and this semester's House Cup was fairly easy to get because of Augustus.

Moments later, Dumbledore arrived, and the noise in the Great Hall had subsided. "Another year has passed!" Dumbledore said gleefully, "Before I can indulge in these delicacies, I must trouble everyone to listen to an old man's cliché." What a wonderful year it has been! Your little brains must be richer than in the past, and there is a whole summer vacation waiting for you in front of you, so that you can digest those things before the start of the next semester, so that your brains can be freed up" Now, as far as I know, we must first have the House Cup award ceremony, and the specific scores of each house are as follows: fourth place, Gryffindor, three hundred and twelve points; third, Hufflepuff, 352 points; Ravenclaw 426 points, Slytherin Slytherin 472 points. ”

The Slytherin table erupted in thunderous cheers and stomping. Draco Malfoy banged the table with his goblet.

"yes, yes, good performance." Dumbledore said, "However, several recent events must also be taken into account. The auditorium became very quiet, and the Slytherins' smiles narrowed a little. Uh, uh," Dumbledore cleared his throat, "I still have some points to distribute." Let me see. That's right, "First item - Hermione's Miss Granger, she faced the flames and calmly reasoned logically, and I would reward Gryffindor House with fifty points." Hermione buried her face in the crook of her arm; Harry suspected she must have been secretly crying. The Gryffindor classmates around them were ecstatic, "Second – Harry Potter," Dumbledore said. The auditorium suddenly became eerily silent. "He has shown great courage and courage, for which I would like to award Gryffindor House sixty points."

The noise was simply deafening. The classmates, who were shouting hoarsely and still mentally calculating their scores, knew that Gryffindor was now four hundred and seventy-two points—exactly the same as Slytherin's. They were close to winning the House Cup - if only Dumbledore had given Harry a point.

Dumbledore held up a hand. The auditorium fell silent again.

"There are many kinds of courage," Dumbledore smiled, "and it takes superhuman courage to take on enemies, and it takes a lot of courage to stand your ground in front of your friends. Therefore, I would like to reward Mr. Neville Longbottom with ten points. ”－

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. Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood up and cheered, only to see Neville's face pale with surprise, and he was overwhelmed by the crowd hugging him. He'd never won a point against Gryffindor! Harry cheered as he elbowed Ron and pointed at Malfoy. Looking at Malfoy's appearance, even if he had just been subjected to a full-body restraint spell, he would not have seemed more surprised or panicked than he was now.

Just as the Gryffindors were reveling, Dumbledore raised his hand again, and the Great Hall fell silent for the next second, "Yes, we still need to take the last test, that is, Mr. Augustus, who broke Professor Sproney's devil's net with his otherworldly magical skills, Professor McGonagall's transformation chess, and finally succeeded in protecting the Philosopher's Stone, for which Slytherin House added a hundred points." ”

The auditorium was silent for a few seconds, and the next moment, the cheers of the Slytherin students almost shook the starry sky in the auditorium hall, Malfoy stood up, picked up the utensils and slammed on the tabletop, if there were still people in the whole Slytherin who could calm down, only Augustus with a smile in his eyes, the eventful time of his student years was indeed a nostalgic feeling.

The next day, the results of the exams were announced in the hall of the college, and Augustus was undoubtedly the first in his grade overall, with perfect marks in every subject except for the subject of astrology, which was a few flaws. Surprisingly, Neville, Crabbe, and Goyle also barely passed the exam this time. Malfoy and Harry had the same scores, and their total scores were the same, which made Malfoy, who was bent on seeing Harry's jokes, feel a sense of absurdity. Malfoy's Potions class had a good score, which made up for the loss of points in the Transfiguration class. Harry's Potions class was noticeably low, but thankfully Professor Sprone in Herbology liked him very much, and his Herbology score equalized the low score in Potions class.

It seemed like all of a sudden, their closets were empty, everything was in their suitcases, and Neville's toad was found hiding in the corner of the bathroom. A notice was sent to each student, warning them not to use magic during the holidays ("I always wish they forgot to send this to us."). Fred. Weasley said regretfully). Hagrid was in charge of leading them aboard the fleet that crossed the lake. Now, they're on the Hogwarts Express.

In the carriage, Augustus was quietly watching the Muggle town flashing outside the window, and Lilian was still playfully teasing Malfoy's secret relationship with Neville, Malfoy's face was red, his mouth was muttering, and Crabbe and Goyle only had food in their eyes, not noticing the embarrassment of their boss Malfoy, who was still eating Bibi Beans.

The train slowly entered the finish line and finally stopped at platform 943 at King's Cross station. Lilian, Malfoy followed Augustus off the train, not far away was Augustus's parents, who had been waiting for a long time, and Aurora Clovis walked towards Augustus and his group with a smile.

"Who is this?" Aurora pointed to Lilian, who was tall to Augustus' left, with some gossip.

"Hello auntie, uncle, I'm Lilian Alexia, Augustus's classmate." Lillian briefly introduced herself.

"Oh, the only daughter of the Alexia family, you must come to our house when you have time during the holidays." Aurora obviously didn't want to give up such an opportunity to gossip, and hurriedly sent an invitation to Lilian.

Lillian nodded a little shyly, indicating that she would definitely go if she had the chance.

After greeting Malfoy's parents, Lucius and Narcissa, who had come to pick up Malfoy not far away, Clovio Lolla took Augustus to the special carriage, and the blazing sunlight flowed on the wooden carriage of Gu Nan, which gradually rose away from the horizon and flew into the clouds towards the manor.
