Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Year-End Banquet
In the evening, it's time for the year-end feast. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info When Louis was dragged to the auditorium by Linda, it was already full of people, and everyone was talking loudly about the interesting things that happened during the year. The interior of the auditorium was decorated in green and silver to celebrate their seventh consecutive House Cup victory. On the wall behind the guest of honor, a huge banner symbolizing the Slytherin snake hangs.
Eventually, Dumbledore made his way to the Great Hall, where the noise faded away.
"Another year has passed. Dumbledore said cheerfully, "Before you can enjoy this delicious food, I must trouble you to listen to a bad old man." ”
"Now, as far as I know, we have to have a ceremony for the House Cup, and the specific scores for each house are as follows: fourth, Gryffindor three hundred and fifty-one, third, Hufflepuff, three hundred and fifty-two, second, Ravenclaw, four hundred and twenty-six, and first, Slytherin, four hundred and seventy-one. ”
The Slytherin table erupted in thunderous cheers and the sound of slapping the table.
"Yes, yes, everyone has done very well this semester. Dumbledore said, "There have been a few things lately, though, that I have to take into account. ”
The voices in the auditorium fell silent, and the smiles on the Slytherin students' faces retracted.
"Ahem... Ahem" Professor Dumbledore cleared his throat, "I still have some points to assign to you, I'll take a look at ....."
"The first item....... Mr. Ron Weasley......."
Ron's face turned red all at once, and the roots of his face and neck turned red, like a sun-dried carrot.
"With his courage and loyalty to his friends, he knew that the road ahead was very dangerous, but he still did not hesitate to accompany his friends on his way! ”
The Gryffindor table erupted in loud cheers, and even the stars above their heads seemed to tremble slightly. And Percy, one of Ron's older brothers, could be heard loudly saying to the other prefects, "It's my brother! You know! it's my youngest brother!"
I finally waited for everyone to calm down.
"The second item .... Miss Hermione Granger.... She calmly reasoned in the face of the flames, and I would reward Gryffindor fifty points for that. ”
Hermione buried her face in her arms, and Louis guessed she must have been secretly crying. She was the most stressed, and Hermione, who considered herself a good student, had hit her hard since she had been deducted fifty points from the night tour.
This time, risking points to be deducted and helping Harry to stop Voldemort from stealing the Philosopher's Stone, was a very difficult choice for her. Now that it finally paid off, she made up for the fifty points she had been deducted, and she must have been overjoyed.
"Third, Harry Potter...," Dumbledore said, and the Great Hall was eerily quiet. "He has shown great courage and extraordinary courage, for which I award Gryffindor House seventy points. ”
"Fourth, Louis Pendragon..... With his extraordinary knowledge, he calmly cracked Sprout's devil's net, for which I rewarded Slytherin with fifty points. ”
The noise filled the auditorium, and the students in the audience were silently calculating. Now Gryffindor is 521 points, and Slytherin is 521 points, if Dumbledore is giving Gryffindor one more point, then Gryffindor will win the House Cup!
