Chapter 19: Final Dinner
"Transfiguration is one of the most dangerous spells, Professor McGonagall is right!" Weston spoke with a smile from the podium.
The students in the audience listened very attentively, and from time to time they used quill pens to write on parchment.
Looking at these students, it is not just first-year students, there are students of all grades, but the same thing is that everyone's face is extremely serious, for fear that they will miss any words!
Speaking of which, the arrival of these students was due to an accident.
It was in the second period of Weston's Elementary School, and a quiet senior Slytherin student came outside Weston's class, only to hear Weston leading the students through the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and after listening to it for a while, his heart was very touched.
After listening silently for half a lesson, the student decided to go to Snape and apply to join Weston's small class.
As it turned out, none of the Slytherin students were fools, and after this student, many more were added.
To this end, Snape also applied a Traceless Stretching Charm to the Potions classroom.
"I can say that Transfiguration is the simplest and most complex spell! If anyone is interested in alchemy, then be sure to learn Transfiguration! ”
After completing a review session at the same high level as always, Weston announced the end of the class. After having an upperclassman, Snape asked Weston to bring something a little more advanced with him when he was revising.
Weston had no choice but to do so.
Isn't that something for me! Weston complained inwardly, but he didn't dare to say it, he didn't want to drink lemon juice with some special condiment......
It was fast forward to the day of the final exams.
Weston had already finished reviewing for the Slytherin students a day before, and cheered them up, and asked the house-elves to prepare a supper for them, which was a kind of relaxation before the exam.
For this reason, the Ravenclaw students looked at Weston incorrectly.
If you can say that you are forced by Snape to review for students, this supper will not be forced by Snape to do it! It's too much of a favorite!
In this regard, Weston could only smile slightly bitterly and did not speak.
On the day of the exam, although the little snakes were very confident, they were a little surprised when the professors came out with the questions.
It turns out that the exam is so difficult?
Suddenly, they also experienced a little bit of the joy of being a top student, and a few of the girls even had tears in their eyes - they were complimented by Snape!
Although Snape was more protective, his assessment in Potions class was almost always the same, either "stupid operation", "did you have water in your head", or "suspected you were a relative of a troll" or something like that!
Merlin is on top, and who has received Snape's compliment other than Weston?
Today, the potion they brewed was "good" from Snape, which is not undescriptive!
Is it all that man? Several female students had pink eyes in their eyes, glanced at each other, and instantly became vigilant again.
Weston didn't know the inner drama of these little girls, he only had one feeling now, that is-boring!
Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, and the "O" are directly exempted, and the Defence Against the Dark Arts class is directly invigilated.
In fact, the only exams he really took were Herbology and History of Magic, and the flying lesson, which was a course based on daily performance, was no longer hopeful!
Sure enough, after the report card came out, Weston's flying lesson score was a big "D", except for this, everything else was "O".
As a result, Weston wasn't the first in his grade as others thought, just in the top ten, and the first place was Penelope, with all but an "A" in Potions class.
It is worth mentioning that in the entire first year, seven of the top ten students were Slytherins! The rest of the Slytherin students did not have a lower grade than an "A" in any subject, and their overall grades were higher than those of Ravenclaw.
Snape was satisfied, Flitwick was uncomfortable, and until the final party, he looked at Weston with resentful eyes. This left Weston with nothing but a wry smile left for awkwardness!
At night, the Great Hall of Hogwarts was completely transformed, with golden ribbons hanging everywhere, and a layer of golden silk was also covered on the rostrum in front of the Great Hall. The whole auditorium looked completely new, and even the ghosts seemed to have changed a lot.
Above the auditorium, on the beams that were originally empty, the raven flag of Ravenclaw had been hung at this time, and the sky-blue flag added a touch of coolness to the entire golden auditorium.
The students sat at their desks in their respective colleges, exchanging things loudly, their expressions either a little depressed, or extraordinarily high, in short, full of energy......
On the podium, Dumbledore looked at the students below with a smile, and from time to time he said something to the professors next to him, and then "giggled". At this time, he changed out of the purple robe he usually wears, and wore a white wizard's robe, which looked a bit like "Gandalf".
Dumbledore pulled out a quaint pocket watch and looked at it, then picked up a golden spoon and tapped his glass.
"Bell, bell, bell—"
The students fell silent, their eyes focused on the podium.
Dumbledore stood up with a smile and silently blessed himself with a amplification spell before beginning his speech.
"It's time again, yes, you're about to go home and enjoy your vacation!"
"Until then, though, you'll have a Hogwarts dinner and listen to the old man's cliché!"
"For those of you who haven't graduated, we'll soon be together again, and for those who have graduated, this will be the last time you'll be with us at Hogwarts!"
"I want to say that Hogwarts has made you all and you have made Hogwarts! Graduates, no matter how far you go, remember that you are always part of Hogwarts! I hope you'll take the Hogwarts motto to heart, it's an intangible treasure! ”
"Ungraduated children, no matter what kind of grades they get, don't be discouraged and don't be proud! The road to magic is still long! ”
"These are the words I want to tell you!"
"Before the banquet begins, I would like to announce the ownership of the Academy Cup! That's – Ravenclaw! ”
"Yay!" The Ravenclaw students cheered, it was rare to see them in such an excited moment.
"Yes, congratulations!" Dumbledore pressed his hand, and the students fell silent, "Besides, I have to praise someone!" That's Mr. Weston Delacour! ”
I? What does it have to do with me? Weston thought puzzled, and then, he saw Dumbledore smiling at him, and suddenly had another bad premonition in his heart—
"Mr. Dracul broke the Hogwarts precedent by reviewing for the entire Slytherin student as a Ravenclaw, which is a great dedication, and for this, I would like to award Ravenclaw House two hundred points to be honored for the next academic year!"
Sure enough, I can't expect anything from you! Weston looked at the little ravens with traitor-like eyes, and gave up the struggle completely.
Dumbledore pretended not to see Weston's expression, and continued, "And the second thing is related to Mr. Weston! ”
Me again? Weston couldn't complain. There is such a saying, if you can't resist, then go and enjoy it! Obviously, Weston has such a mentality!
"Mr. Weston has developed a way to permanently increase his magic powers, and has licensed it to Hogwarts! I've decided that starting next term, Hogwarts will officially open this method to students from Year 3 onwards to apply to Hogwarts! ”
A way to increase your magic? All this stuff has been contributed? The students looked at Weston as if they were looking at him, but that didn't stop them from adoring him and yearning for the spell.
Compared to the discussion of other houses, Slytherin House is undoubtedly much more solemn. All Slytherins stood up in unison, drew their wands, placed them neatly on their left shoulder, and bowed sharply to Weston.
It's a wizard's gift, and it's the most solemn of it! This is a tribute to the strong in Slytherin! Regardless of Slytherin's reputation, just looking at this scene is enough to see their approval of Weston!
Snape looked at this scene, and for the first time there was a different look in his eyes, which was admiration and pride......
Weston saw the Slytherins in action, sighed, stood up, and made a complicated gesture with his hands in front of his chest, then folded them and placed them between his eyebrows.
This is also a wizard's gift, which means that I accept your approval!
The Slytherins, who had received a response, straightened up, took their wands back, and sat down.
I don't know who took the lead, and the entire auditorium was filled with applause in an instant.
Perhaps, this scene, even if the students present grow old in the future, is enough for them to reminisce......
