Chapter 42: The Ownership of the Academy Cup (Part II)

"First of all – Mr. Harry Potter......"

Albus Gryffindor Supreme Dumbledore began to hate Harila: "For the courage and courage shown in an incident concerning the protection of school property, I would like to reward Gryffindor House with sixty points. ”

After a brief silence, the Gryffindor House students let out a loud cheer as if they were about to tear down the enchanted ceiling, and the stars above their heads seemed to tremble slightly.

"Secondly - Mr. Xiao An-Lin ......"

When the scene calmed down, Dumbledore said with a smile: "With unparalleled decisiveness and a strong sense of justice, he has smashed the plot of the evil forces, therefore, I also want to reward Gryffindor House...... 100 points! ”

Lin Xiaoan: "......"

You're sowing discord, Gay Deng, don't you look at me upset, how can you break into Slytherin House with such labor and management!

……

The Gryffindor students were ecstatic, jumping up and down at the long tables, and the noise was deafening.

Gryffindor is now four hundred and seventy-two points, exactly the same as Slytherin's.

For the first time, Gryffindor House was so close to the House Cup—just one step away—if only Dumbledore had awarded Lin Xiaoan or Hallido another point.

Hermione grabbed one of Lin Xiao'an's arms tightly with both hands: "It's just one point!" It's just one point away, Xiao An! ”

Lin Xiaoan was silent, looking up at the ceiling with tears - you ask him to tears for Shenma? You try, pinch the soft flesh on the inside of your arm...... Does it hurt?

For the sake of manly dignity, Lin Xiaoan couldn't let Hermione let go, and endured a knife on his head, he said what kind of pain was in the wind and rain...... What a lot! What is it!! What is it!!

……

"So ......"

Dumbledore waited for a moment, then said, "This is unprecedented in the history of Hogwarts, the scores of the two houses are exactly the same...... Blame me? This means that we need to make some small changes to the décor here. ”

He clapped his hands, and in an instant, half of the green draped ribbons turned bright red, and likewise, half of the silver ones turned gold.

Next to the huge Slytherin snake, a majestic Gryffindor lion emerged, and the two brothers stood side by side.

"Congratulations...... Gryffindor House and Slytherin! Together, they won the House Cup for this academic year! Dumbledore said with a smile on his face, oblivious to the strange atmosphere in the Great Hall.

Lin Xiaoan looked at the new decoration of gold and silver intertwined with red and green in the auditorium, and his temples suddenly ached.

Basically, almost no one is happy with this result -

The Slytherins felt that Gryffindors had shamelessly robbed them of their honor, Gryffindors mostly thought that Slytherin was cheap and behaved, Ravenclaws didn't like double yolks with mud, and the Hufflepuffs didn't slow down at all......

So, Lin Xiao'an's first-year Hogwarts House Cup celebration dinner ended hastily in this "friendly" atmosphere where you look at me and I look at you.

……

Although the House Cup was not as good as it could have been, the students quickly forgot about it – because the summer holidays were coming.

After the final exam results are announced (Lin Xiaoan: hmmmm...... Well, just pass...... I'm not picky), the students packed their bags and boarded the return train to Hogwarts.

The train passed through Muggle towns, eating Bibi beans, taking off their wizarding robes and changing into jackets and blouses; Finally, the train stopped at platform nine and three-quarters of King's Cross Station.

It took a long time for the students to get out of the platform. A shriveled old guard stood guard at the partition wall, allowing only two or three people to pass through at a time, so that they would not burst out of the solid wall at the same time and attract the attention of the Muggles.

……

“…… Draco! It's my birthday in August, wait for me to send you an invitation! ”

Lin Xiaoan got off the train, said goodbye to his friends, and said a few words to the Duke Fitzroy and his family who came to pick up Nanjiayu, and was about to take a specially customized extended version of Rolls-Royce home, when he saw Draco and his father, Mr. Lucius-Peacock-Malfoy, he flirted with him.

Draco looked offended, "What did you say?!" Why should I-"

"Hello, Mr. Malfoy! Long time no see! Lin Xiao'an wandered leisurely, and walked over to say hello to Malfoy's father first.

Lucius Malfoy smiled naturally and elegantly, "Hello, Ann. You became friends with Draco? What a delight! ”

Lin Xiaoan was amazed, and complained to Xiao Hei who was lying on his shoulder with his mind: "Look at it, look at it, what labor and management encounter are all drama spirits with well-controlled facial expressions - as a system, you actually don't show the golden finger of favorability, what do you want!"

Blackie: "......"

……

Lucius Malfoy agreed to Lin Xiaoan's invitation on behalf of his son: "I think...... It would be unwise to reject a billionaire. ”

"That's the deal—don't worry, Draco, there are two birthday parties, and Muggles and wizards won't get a chance to meet—besides, don't you want to see the dragon?" Lin Xiao'an saw that Draco still couldn't put it down, so he found a step for him.

Draco reluctantly agreed, "Well, got it...... Wait, do you have owls in your house? ”

"House-elves, I think, make good messengers. When the time comes, I will send you an invitation to Zhao Cai or Jinbao—Zhaocai, Jinbao, wealth, auspiciousness, this is the new name of my house-elf. Lin Xiaoan said that owls are too ordinary, and they still use house-elves to have big.

Draco Malfoy: "......"

Lucius Malfoy: "......"
