Chapter 134: Academy Cup
After bidding farewell to Dumbledore, Merlin was relieved and slept peacefully.
In the past few days, I first went to the Forbidden Forest for a run, and not long after I came back, I went to the basement to raise Professor Quirrell, so I couldn't be too busy.
Now that Harry Potter World should be fine this year, he can also take a break.
After the Academy Cup was awarded, he was ready to leave for the next world, and he would be busy again.
Although he is still quite looking forward to what the next world will be like.
β¦β¦
"Ding Ding"
After the dinner, Professor McGonagall tapped the glass next to him at Dumbledore's indication, quieting the students.
"Now, it's time to award the Academy Cup again."
"Ahem, Professor Snape, are you interested in betting on who will finish first in this House Cup?"
After Professor Quirrell's death, Merlin naturally sat in his place.
"What do you want to do this time, but I can bet with you."
Snape's face was gloomy, he glanced at Merlin, took a bite of steak into his mouth, and said slowly.
After Harry's affair, he felt that Merlin seemed to know a lot about him.
Not only did he know the magic he had once created, but he also knew that he liked Harry's mother, Lily.
At the same time, according to the Philosopher's Stone incident, he also knew that Merlin could fight against Voldemort, which made him have to pay more attention to Merlin.
Although he said that he valued Merlin a lot, he didn't know why, he just didn't like it, and he was even resistant to contact him in his heart.
"I'm number one with Gryffindor, and if I lose, I can do one thing for you.
If I win, Professor I hope you can help me make a batch of Elixir for me, the more the better. β
Merlin smiled faintly and said, with Dumbledore helping Harry hang up, Gryffindor really has more Glendo, and Merlin is not false at all.
"Oh? I don't know what you want the Elixir to do, but you don't have a chance to get it, so I'll choose Slytherin. β
Snape was slightly stunned when he heard Merlin's words.
The Elixir is a potion that is extremely complex to develop and has taken a long time to develop.
But the effect is very extraordinary, and after drinking it, it can bring good luck to people within 12 hours.
Even as a Potions Master, he thought he couldn't guarantee 100% success.
But it doesn't matter, the Slytherins he manages are all elite and have no problem winning the House Cup.
"Very well, Professor Snape, we'll see."
Merlin smiled slightly, a little happy in his heart, and then turned his gaze to Dumbledore.
After the students had fallen silent, Dumbledore got up and looked around and continued.
"The scores are as follows:
4th place, Gryffindor House, 312 points.
3rd place, Hufflepuff House, 352 points.
2nd place, Ravenclaw College, 426 points.
In first place, Slytherin House with 472 points! β
As soon as the words ended, the students of Slytherin House set off a roar and applauded in celebration.
"Merlin, it looks like you've lost, but this time you're out of sight."
There was also a hint of a smile on Snape's lips, as if he was happy to see Merlin deflated, and the expression on his face was less gloomy.
"Don't worry, don't forget the day before yesterday did Harry's trio fight Quirrell? That's a plus. β
Merlin also applauded and said leisurely.
"Slytherin did a good job, but a couple of recent events should be counted as well, and I'm going to award some points at the end."
As soon as Dumbledore's words fell, Snape's originally smiling face instantly became gloomy again, staring at Merlin and Dumbledore with lifeless eyes.
He had some suspicions that he had been deceived by Merlin again, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Miss Hermione Granger, when everyone is in danger, you can think calmly and solve the problem, add 50 points!"
Snape's face became more and more ugly, and the Slytherin students had no intention of celebrating, and they all looked at each other.
"Mr. Ronald Weasley, you've played the best game of chess at Hogwarts in years, plus 50 points!"
Hearing this, Snape's face was gloomy, and Gryffindor and Slytherin were more than 60 points apart.
He only hoped that Dumbledore wouldn't go too far, give Harry 50 points, and he would almost get it.
In this way, he Slytherin was still able to take a narrow lead and win the House Cup.
"Next, Mr. Harry Potter, for your extraordinary courage and outstanding courage, I will reward you with 60 Gryffindor points!"
"Whew"
Snape's calm heart for many years was a little nervous at the moment, and when he heard the word 60 points, he felt relieved in his heart.
Thankfully, Dumbledore didn't go too far, and just let Gryffindor and Slytherin tie.
"Merlin, a tie proves that this bet has been scrapped."
Snape looked at Merlin in shock, and said with a grim face.
"Ha, don't worry, Professor, the principal has to continue."
Merlin picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of black tea for Snape's cup, and said with a smile.
"I would like to conclude with ......"
Dumbledore said that sentence slowly in Snape's gloomy eyes.
"We all need great courage to face our enemies, but it takes even more courage to stand firm in front of our friends.
I'm going to give 10 points to Neville Longbottom! β
"Yes, it's a victory for the Gryffindor Juggernaut!"
Merlin smiled and patted Snape, who was stunned on the spot, and continued.
"Professor Snape, remember to prepare the elixir, the more the better, not to mention dozens of bottles, at least three or five bottles."
"Humph!"
Snape could afford to lose, but at the moment he listened to the celebrations of the Gryffindor students, as if they had been pricked in him, and he felt uncomfortable.
"If I'm not mistaken, the dΓ©cor needs to be changed a little, congratulations to Gryffindor for winning the House Cup!"
Dumbledore tapped lightly, and a wave of magic automatically replaced the Slytherin House flag above with a red Gryffindor House flag.
"Finally, I'll tell you one more thing."
After the students cheered, Dumbledore suddenly quieted everyone down and listened to him.
"Next semester, Professor Merlin will be a professor in the school's medical room, responsible for the treatment of students.
At the same time, he will open a course called, and everyone can ask him to sign up for the next semester if they are interested. β
Immediately, the students caused an uproar again, and Professor Merlin's healing magic was obvious to all.
Throughout the semester, almost anyone who was injured would ask Merlin to help with treatment, so his reputation among students was quite good.
Of course, only in healing, Merlin was a professor assistant in Defence Against the Dark Arts class, but he never appeared in the classroom.
Therefore, everyone was a little skeptical that Professor Merlin would teach the course in person, and the students said in their hearts that this might be a mixed-credit course.
Therefore, in order to graduate and get very good grades, students said that the more courses with mixed credits, the better, and secretly thought that they must sign up.
Therefore, Merlin heard a louder applause than Gryffindor won the House Cup, which made him a little confused.
It turns out that I have such a popular one, it's really good.
