Chapter Twenty-Eight: The House Cup and the Return
In the Great Hall of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, hundreds of candles float in the air, and students and professors from the four houses gather together to determine the winner of the House Cup on the last night of the semester.
Dumbledore stood on the high platform, the owl pulpit in front of him spreading its wings in the candlelight, which reflected the old man's face.
"Another year has passed," said Dumbledore gleefully, "and before I indulge in these delicacies, I must trouble you to listen to the clichés of my bad old man." What a wonderful year it has been, and you must be richer in your little heads now...... There's a whole summer vacation waiting for you ahead of you, so you can digest those things before the next semester starts, so that you can free up your brains to learn new things......"
Kevin sat down listening to Dumbledore's strange rhetoric as always, a little frustrated by the might of the old man.
"First of all, as far as I know, we have to start with the House Cup ceremony, and the specific scores for each house are as follows: Gryffindor in fourth place with 314 points, Hufflepuff in third place with 335 points, Slyerin in second place with 472 points, and Ravenclaw in first place with 514 points. ”
The long table in Ravenclaw erupted in loud applause, and Terry and Mike even grabbed Kevin's hand and waved it.
"yes, yes! Good job, Ravenclaw. But I guess what happened recently has to be counted as well. As Dumbledore's words fell, Ravenclaw immediately fell silent, and everyone stared at Dumbledore to see what he had to say.
Kevin felt Terry's hand grip on him tightly.
"Ahem—ahem—" Dumbledore cleared his throat, "I've got some points to be assigned, let me think about it, right...... First, Mr. Jon Weasley, who won the best game of Hogwarts in fifty years, for which Gryffindor scored fifty points. ”
Gryffindor's cheers almost didn't lift the ceiling. The candles above their heads were shaking, and Kevin could hear Gryffindor prefect Percy loudly telling the other prefects that it was his brother's business as he sat at the Ravenclaw table.
Everyone finally quieted down.
"Second, Miss Hermione Granger...... Faced with the blazing fire, she calmly and tactfully solved the puzzle, for which Gryffindor received fifty points. ”
Now Gryffindor was even more crazy, and some people even jumped on the table.
Terry, who was beside Kevin, would tighten his hand every time Dumbledore added points, and the other people at the Ravenclaw table did not look very good, compared to Ravenclaw, Slajlin's atmosphere was even more gloomy, and Kevin even saw Malfoy's face beating the fat man beside him.
"Thirdly, Harry Potter—" the Great Hall suddenly fell silent, and only Dumbledore continued, "He showed great courage and spirit, for which Gryffindor received a hundred points." ”
The noise was simply deafening, but the atmosphere in Ravenclaw was not very good, and the serious Ravenclaws were calculating as early as when Dumbledore announced a bonus point, and now Gryffindor's score has been equal to Ravenclaw, and it is not known who will win the House Cup.
Dumbledore's next speech simply blew the mood up.
"Fourth!" everyone fell silent again, waiting for the final result.
"The greatest courage, Mr. Neville Longbottom, is not to defeat the enemy, but to organize a friend into danger, for which Gryffindor adds ten. ”
By now, Gryffindor was running around the Great Hall, but it wasn't over yet.
"In the end, Mr. Kevin Albert, with his superb magic and great wisdom, won Ravenclaw fifty points. ”
At this moment, Gryffindor was dumbfounded, and they all stayed in place without a splash, and the Ravenclaw who reflected it cheered, and everyone began to celebrate around Kevin. Everyone applauded, Gryffindor, stunned, led by Harry, Hermione, and Jon, and Hufflepuff applauded. They don't care about the House Cup, they're only interested in the food in front of them.
Slyerjelin applauded sparsely, probably thinking that as long as it wasn't for Gryffindor to get the House Cup.
The noise in the Great Hall forced Dumbledore to use the Amplification Charm, "which means that our décor needs to be changed." He clapped his hands as he spoke, and the auditorium was hung with a blue eagle-headed flag.
The Ravenclaws were basking in the joy of being regained, and Kevin even saw Professor Flitwick happily clinking glasses with the professor next to him and talking something.
After the medal ceremony, it was time for everyone to eat, and the Hufflepuffs had already eaten impatiently, Gryffindor followed, and the Ravenclaws began to eat happily.
Kevin sat at the long table, receiving congratulations from all grades of the college, and Professor Flitwick raised his glass to congratulate him. Harry, too, sat at the Gryffindor table, smiling at Kevin.
Kevin had to say that it was his happiest night at Hogwarts, and he was happier than reading ten books.
At night, Kevin, who was lying in bed, chatted with Ty and Mike. They told Kevin about the ceremony, and their inner voices fell together.
After the two of them fell asleep tiredly, Kevin still didn't fall asleep, tomorrow is the time to go home, and then it was a two-month summer vacation, Kevin planned all kinds of summer vacations, and finally fell asleep sweetly, Darsil squatted at Kevin's window and fell asleep.
The next morning, Kevin and the Ravenclaw students descended the tower and went to the Great Hall for breakfast, before the hordes of Hogwarts students walked to the Hogwarts train station outside the school.
Kevin only carried a backpack, Terry and Mike carried heavy suitcases, looking at Kevin complainingly, Kevin said, the Traceless Stretching Charm or something, sprinkled with water.
Under the eye attack of the two, Kevin had to cast a levitation charm on the suitcases of the two, and the two were a little happier.
After meeting Harry, Kevin gave each of them a levitation charm, and received four thanks.
Kevin, who sat down in the carriage, took a deep breath.
"See you next term, Hogwarts!"
