Chapter Eighty-Five: An Unexpected Surprise
"Alright, Kano, use the Disarming Charm."
Dumbledore's blue eyes looked at Kano through his glasses, and Kano waved his wand unhurriedly, whispering in his mouth, throwing out a red spell that knocked the wand out of the dummy's hand.
"The spell is powerful, the silent spell is very close to success, and I am not so powerful at your age." Dumbledore clapped his hands in satisfaction, "Your exam is over." ”
Carno nodded, and Professor McGonagall, who was taking notes, smiled slightly.
Walking out of the practical class examination room, Kano went to the auditorium to wait for his friends.
Neville walked over first, his face pale, and sat down beside Kano.
"I feel like I'm going to repeat a grade."
"Did you make a big mistake?" Kano asked curiously.
"I... I managed to knock the wand off the dummy's hand, but the wand that flew out almost hit the headmaster's nose. Neville shuddered, "Luckily, the headmaster was quick and caught his wand. ”
Otherwise, the bridge of his nose, which had been broken three times, would have to be broken again.
Kano thought of that picture and shook his head funny: "What do you think, the principal won't let you repeat a grade because of this little thing." ”
Neville's magic skills aren't bad, but he really lacks self-confidence.
After a while, Harry, Hermione, and Ron all arrived in the Great Hall.
Hermione's face was still full of pain, as if she had failed the test.
It's a pity that everyone present knows Hermione's character. Last year, Ron comforted Hermione with great effort, and after the results came out, he vowed never to trust women again.
"Women are liars!"
That night, Ron angrily announced with a chicken leg as if he were holding a torch.
"I really haven't answered a few questions well!" Hermione explained, but unfortunately no one listened.
This year, everyone has been able to ignore all the worries about their grades in the second place in this grade.
"Harry, how did you do on the exam?" Ron simply turned to his brother, who had only been slightly better than Harry last year.
"It's like... Not bad? Harry wasn't sure.
This year, he has been looking into Voldemort's background, and although he has not achieved much results, he has unconsciously read a lot of books.
So this year's History of Magic exam was very easy for him, and everything was in his head.
Not to mention the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, Harry's talent in this area is already very high, and Dumbledore's substitute class has completely stimulated it in the past six months.
The biggest headache for Harry was the Potions exam. However, Snape, as the proctor of the practical exam, could not speak, and Harry only had to endure his cold gaze and quietly prepare potions.
The quality of the potion products is not bad, am I talented in this area?
Anyway, Snape looked odd when he inspected the finished product. Harry couldn't read his mood either, and quickly left the Potions classroom.
Unbeknownst to him, Snape had been standing quietly in the classroom for a long time after he had left.
"Oh, since Harry said you did well, then I'm sure I'm not bad either." Ron didn't realize that things had changed until the morning the results were announced.
Kano was first in his grade, Hermione was second, and Harry was twelfth.
Ron... Anyway, I didn't repeat a grade.
At Hogwarts, the results are not posted on the wall with a large list, but in an envelope for the owl to deliver at breakfast.
Kano unfolded the letter and glanced at it before setting it aside, when another owl threw the envelope down.
Kano raised his hand to catch it, it was sent by Fleur.
"Kano, if I'm not mistaken, today is the Hogwarts year-end dinner, and tomorrow you can go home."
"You have a surprise on the way, it should arrive tomorrow, look forward to it."
This is not some official letter, but a sticky note.
After half a year of correspondence, Kano and Fleur are basically only a layer of window paper away from the boyfriend and girlfriend relationship.
Although the atmosphere in France was already strange at that time, the two still chose to calm down for a while and get along for a while.
However, it now seems that the relationship between the two is not some kind of hallucination, but real, and it is getting stronger and stronger as time goes by.
Let's confess this time. Kano thought to himself.
In the evening, the year-end dinner. Students poured into the auditorium, which was decorated with gold and red decorations representing last year's winner, Gryffindor.
This year's House Cup should also be in Gryffindor's bag, after all, there are two big hands in class, Carnot and Hermione, and in addition, Gryffindor has also won the Quidditch Cup for a long time.
Harry missed his last game last year due to the Philosopher's Stone incident, and this year he finally got rid of it.
With all Slytherin players dressed up in Disc Wheel 2001, the Gryffindor players desperately dragged the score.
Harry shook Malfoy in a final feint to catch the Golden Snitch and Gryffindor narrowly prevailed.
Wood rolls off the broomstick and kisses the ground of the court. Then he rushed at Harry in a frenzy, as if he was going to bite Harry hard with his mud-stained mouth.
Thankfully, he didn't succeed because the excited Gryffindor students tossed him and Harry together.
Needless to say, Harry was the one who made the final decision. Wood, everyone is shouting slogans in tacit agreement.
"Wood! Captain! ”
"Wood! Captain! ”
Wood had been looking forward to the Quidditch Cup for too long, and everyone was watching. Although he usually trains his players like a devil, it is all worth it now.
Today, Professor McGonagall also brought the Quidditch Cup to the scene, right on the Gryffindor table.
“… I think there's enough to look back at last year, let's take a look at the House Cup scores. ”
The laughter of the Gryffindor students could be heard below, and Slytherin was second this time, and the little snakes looked at the little lions in disbelief.
"Everyone can see that this year's winner is still - Gryffindor!"
Dumbledore waved his wand, and the golden and red lion hanging in the Great Hall came to life on the banner, pacing and roaring.
This is the honor of the defending house, and the lions of Gryffindor will be hanging in the auditorium so vividly in the coming year.
The next day, the young wizards boarded the Hogwarts Express and set out on their journey home.
Kano was looking forward to Fleur's surprise, but he couldn't guess what it was.
"Our family is going to Egypt to visit my eldest brother during the summer vacation." Ron and Harry said.
"It's good that I'm going to spend a summer with the Dursleys, but luckily Kano's house isn't far away." Harry said enviously.
Hearing this, Kano scratched his head a little uncomfortably.
Bill, the eldest of the Weasley family, was employed by Gringotts as a spell breaker in Egypt.
In the original book, Bill and Fleur finally achieved positive results. So when Kano heard Ron's words, the feeling in his heart was quite subtle.
However, when he dragged his luggage and left the station with his classmates, that subtle feeling disappeared.
Fleur wears a wide-brimmed hat and a long aqua blue dress and waits for him at the exit.
Seeing him come out, Fleur waved her hand and walked over.
Her beauty was partially obscured by her hat, which did not cause a commotion, but was still enough to attract the attention of others.
"How's that, is it enough for a surprise?" Fleur asked with a smile as she stood in front of Kano.
"Surprised and delighted." Kano stretched out his arms and gently hugged her.
"Let's go, take me to England." Fleur pulled Kano forward.
"Can I say I'm not familiar with Britain either?"
"No, you are a landlord. Take responsibility for me! ”
The two laughed and left together, leaving a group of classmates dumbfounded at the station.
"I... Shouldn't I go to his house during the holidays? ”
Poor Harry, muttered to himself.
