There is also a House Cup before the end of the semester. The House Cup will be awarded to the college with the highest score, and at the end-of-semester banquet, it will be decorated in the style of their house.

By the time the students arrived, the auditorium had been decorated in green and silver representing Slytherin, celebrating their seventh consecutive year of winning the House Cup. On the wall behind the guest of honor stood a large banner depicting Slytherin snakes.

But Snape, who had to come to the banquet, was not very happy, but was puzzled, as if he had encountered some problem.

Malfoy and the Slytherin friends were enjoying the Slytherin honor when Harry entered, and suddenly there was silence in the auditorium, and then suddenly everyone began to speak loudly again. Harry was once again warmly welcomed by the students, once again in the center of attention, which made the smile on Malfoy's face stiffen a little.

Because of Maple, Slytherin's house score this year is far ahead, because Snape has added no less than 100 points to Slytherin because of him, I don't know if this is considered a rival!

But the initiator, there is no aftermath. He can be a scoundrel, and Dumbledore is the one who can score more points than Snape.

.“ First, Mr. Ron Weasley. He won one of the best games at Hogwarts in many years, and I'm rewarding Gryffindor House with fifty points for it." With Dumbledore's name corrected, the students now finally know who is the boss from the chaotic rumors.

Then Hermione, because of her clever reasoning, Maple only dealt with the devil's net, and each added fifty points, and the important thing was Harry, Dumbledore directly added a hundred points.

But now, Gryffindor was still more than eighty minutes away from Slytherin, and quite a few Gryffindors had begun to glance at Maple with strange eyes.

Every time he excelled in Potions class, Snape gave Slytherin extra points, and now that it had finally affected their House Cup, some Gryffindors looked unnatural.

"Finally, I would like to give Mr. Maple one more credit for his help to our wizarding friends, for which I would like to award Gryffindor House one hundred points.

As for what Mr. Maple has contributed, let me sell it first. But I'm sure that when you come back next semester and learn about Mr. Maple's contribution at the opening party, you'll just feel that 100 points is too little. Although this is a bit inexplicable, even Slytherin has to admit the credibility of Dumbledore himself.

The Gryffindors were also very curious about what Maple's reward was, but now they should celebrate, after six years, they finally defeated Slytherin and won the House Cup again!

Even Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, who seem to be tired of the decoration of the six-year-old Green Slytherin Serpent, celebrate the Slytherin fiasco and the end of a six-game winning streak with Gryffindor.

Dumbledore clapped his hands, and the green silver serpent decoration changed to a bright red lion, and Snape was stunned until the professor reminded him, and then he relented and stood up to shake Professor McGonagall's hand. Then, when it was over, he completely ignored the crowd and thought about something to himself.

After the end-of-school celebration party, the results of the exam came out. Harry and Ron both had high scores, and Hermione naturally finished first in the grade, but she glared at Maple with some annoyance, because she seemed to think that it was Maple's intention, so she was not very happy.

After George recovers and is discharged from the hospital, Maple finally learns that it was the same person who had made a deal with them at the Pig's Head Bar.

This made Maple's brow furrow even tighter, so to speak, the man had already been mixed up by the time Hagrid got the dragon egg. Following Quirrell's cover, Dumbledore, and Aberforth, the owner of the pig's head bar, were unaware of the man's anomaly.

It's just taken so long to act, what exactly is his purpose? It's really confusing, one is not good, this is no less terrible than Voldemort, I hope Dumbledore can find out some clues!

Soon, they had packed all their clothes and books into their suitcases, and this time Harry and Ron didn't have to carry the large suitcases anymore, as Maple had cast a Traceless Stretching Charm on them.

This spell had been taught to Hermione, but she was obviously not as good as Maple, but she still insisted on learning to master the spell completely on her own.

Sitting on the train, they talk and cast magic on the train, as they both receive notices warning them not to use magic during the holidays. So while they haven't gotten off the train yet, they try their best to cast spells on the train to have a good time. Because for the next holiday, they will have to endure the pain of not being able to cast spells.

Maple didn't care, I don't know if it was because of the Silent One in the first place, or if the wand was so old that Ollivander didn't put a trace on it. So unlike other students, he can cast magic at will, provided that he can't be discovered, otherwise this benefit will be lost.

However, because of the defect of the trace, when the wizard has an adult wizard around, the Ministry of Magic cannot detect who released the magic sensed by the trace, so people from wizard families can cast spells at will, but Maple is ready to tell them after a while.

Three or two of them carefully came out through the wall so as not to arouse Muggle ideas. Maple then meets Ron's parents, a rich middle-aged red-haired man and a stocky middle-aged woman.

Fred and George are not afraid, but the one they fear most is their mother. They still don't know how to tell their families about the money they have earned a lot of gold Galleons, saying that the money will probably be confiscated, and it has also revealed that they have violated a series of school rules.

But if they don't, how can they explain the sudden large sum of money?

With a lot of money, they don't want to wronged themselves next year, and their family is going to school next year with their sister, and they don't want to let their sister go to school with second-hand goods.

It's just that they look depressed now, not because they are worried about this problem, but because their grades have failed. They didn't take their brother Percy seriously at school, and they often teased him, and now they have retribution, and they are also to blame for being sued by Percy.

Maple got to know his family through Ron's introduction, as did Harry. When Maple greeted Ginny, she simply replied, and then turned all eyes to Harry.

"Harry Potter!" Ginny exclaimed excitedly, she had been looking forward to seeing Harry ever since she heard from her brother.

"Yo, it looks like the little girl likes you, Harry." Maple quipped, "Well, why don't you consider kissing Ron and making your friendship last forever!" ”

Harry's face turned red all at once, and Ginny blushed like an apple, and then ran away from Harry's gaze. Ron's expression was more like he had swallowed a mouthful of garlic alive, which was wonderful.

Mrs. Weasley was very enthusiastic about Harry after teaching her son, and Maple noticed that she had just pricked up her ears when she had just mentioned that she should let Ron and Harry kiss each other. Although Harry and Ginny were still young, Molly Weasley's expression was clearly hoping that this would happen.

Harry thanked Mrs. Weasley for the sweater and the gift, but Maple didn't expect Arthur Weasley to come over to talk to him and thank him. It turned out to be the Weasley brothers, Dumbledore informed Mr. Weasley, but how many details were said, Maple didn't know.

Soon, they meet unpleasant people again, Harry's uncle and aunt. Seeing Harry's pile of magic-related things, and talking so happily with other wizards, made the Vernon family, who feared and rejected magic, angry at Harry.

Molly Weasley tried to talk to Harry's relatives, but the other party blocked the conversation first, and even Hermione couldn't believe that there was such a nasty person in the world. Also Muggles, her parents were much more enlightened.

"Mr. Dursley, sorry to excuse me, but I wonder if you've heard of the name Emily, Emily of the Light of Hope?"

"You, you are?" Vernon immediately hesitated when he heard the name, it seems that in the six months that Maple was away, the company he founded had achieved good results.

"That's right, I know her and know her very well, if you want to work with her one day, I hope you can be nice to Harry, after all, you are the only family in this world!" Maple said.

"I'll do it, but I want you to keep your promise." Vernon's originally flushed face instantly softened, and he didn't seem to be so disgusted with Harry's nephew. Because with Maple's help, he could make a deal with the thriving Ray of Hope company, which would be enough for him to earn a large amount of commissions.

"I'm not going to turn back on a Muggle, if you do!" Maple nodded.

"Okay, I will." Harry hadn't expected things to take such a turn, he had wanted to have fun with Dudley, but now it didn't seem necessary.

"Thank you, Maple." Harry thanked him and left with the Vernon family, and when he met Neville's grandmother, the pleasant old lady also thanked Maple and left with Neville.

"I really can't imagine how much you've done to hide it from us?" Hermione said with a look of surprise, then looked around and asked curiously, "What about your family, haven't they come to pick you up yet?" ”

"I was an orphan and grew up in an orphanage!" Maple said.

"I'm sorry." Hermione apologized, then proposed, "Maple, why don't you come to my house this summer?" ”

"Okay, but before that, I'm going back to the orphanage to see the director!"
