Dumbledore raised his hand, and the audience fell silent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"There are many kinds of courage. Dumbledore smiled and said, "We need superhuman courage to deal with enemies, and it is also a kind of courage to stand our ground in front of our friends." Therefore, I would like to reward Mr. Neville Longbottom with ten points!"
There was a frantic cheer in the auditorium, and if the light was outside, it would have been thought that there was a Quidditch game inside. All I could hear was the cheers at Gryffindor's table, rising and rising. Harry, Ron, and Hermione all stood up and applauded. Neville, on the other hand, turned pale and looked a little overwhelmed, apparently not expecting him to get extra points.
"That means. Dumbledore had to cast a sound reinforcement charm to drown out the thunderous cheers, as the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students were also celebrating Slytherin's loss of the House Cup, "We need to make some small changes to the dΓ©cor here." β
Dumbledore clapped his hands, and the ribbon that had been floating in mid-air turned from green to bright red, and the silver part to gold, and the huge serpent that symbolized Slytherin gradually disappeared, replaced by a majestic Gryffindor lion.
Snape shook hands with Professor McGonagall, a very embarrassed smile on his face. The atmosphere at the Slytherin table had become very stiff, not to mention the sound of discussion, and there was no one eating even at the dinner party.
"What a respectable principal. Linda scoffed.
"Yo, girl, it seems that you have a lot of grievances?" said Louis with a wink.
"Isn't Dumbledore clearly biased in favor of Gryffindor?" said Linda indignantly, "Hermione will forget it, but he helped solve the mystery." Potter and Weasley did almost nothing during the whole process, and the young master solved it, but they were able to score so many points. Even, Longbottom can actually score points!"
"Haha...," Louis said with a smile, "don't be so excited, Linda. You know, this was Harry's first year in the wizarding world, and Dumbledore was definitely going to need to help him build momentum. Even, Dumbledore will help him win several House Cups in a row. β
"Then just watch Dumbledore blatantly help Potter?" said Linda unwillingly.
"Blatantly this idiom is well used!I'll give you nine points~" Louis said with a thumbs up at Linda.
Sure enough, it's better to find a Chinese maid, and occasionally you can play with idioms.
"Young Master, don't you care at all?" said Linda helplessly.
"What's there to care about. Louis said with a nonchalant face, "Dumbledore is just trying to help Harry gain popularity, after all, he is the 'savior'." Moreover, he should have noticed Hermione as well, and after nearly a year of observation, he should have determined Hermione's talent. β
"What about Weasley and Longbottom? You said that Weasley didn't do anything after he went in, he just went in and walked around, didn't you? As for Longbottom, he could score points while lying down?" asked Linda.
"Obviously this is helping Harry develop his own team, a gifted young wizard Hermione, and adding a Ron who knows the wizarding world and whose entire family is Dumbledore's faction. Louis said lightly, "As for Neville, he gave him ten points because he didn't show anything." It's very much up to his parents, who were injured because of their fight with Voldemort. And in the future, if Neville's talent is shown, it can also help Harry better. β
is really worthy of being an old fox who has lived for so long, and his means of winning people's hearts are simply the pinnacle. Not to mention these little wizards, even when the entire wizarding world was living under the fear of Voldemort at that time, he was able to attract a group of excellent wizards who were not afraid of death to be used by him.
