Chapter 38: The Year-End Dinner

Professor Flitwick picked up the key and looked at it, tentatively saying, "The doorkey? ”

Dumbledore's blue eyes glanced at Gretel nonchalantly, and nodded silently.

Glitter didn't understand what Dumbledore was doing with a portkey.

Where is the other end of the door key?

Newmengard?

Azkaban?

The cell he didn't see when he woke up is waiting in the near future.

Obviously, Dumbledore wasn't going to give him a chance to think about it.

"This key leads to Dorset, where I have an old friend who lives, and I think Grett can go to him and broaden his wizarding horizons."

As he spoke, Dumbledore took the key from Flitsch and lifted the seal that had shrouded it.

"I was thinking that by the time of the third year, you would be able to unlock the seal on the key and see the magical beasts at Newt.

Trust me, you'll love it, there's very few people who aren't interested in Newtna's Fantastic Beasts. ”

Unlike portkeys that wizards hide in various parts of nature and try not to attract the attention of Muggles.

Without the seal of the spell, the portkey, which Dumbledore had given him, which was originally golden, became shining, and every inch of light showed its extraordinary.

"Newt Scamander, I remember him, Master Fantastic Beasts, you said many times that it was because of his help that you were able to lock up Grindelwald."

Flitwick's words made Dumbledore's face a little more embarrassed, rubbing his nose, pushing his glasses again, he turned to Voldemort.

Dumbledore said that he knew Voldemort, and that as long as Voldemort wanted something, no matter how much it cost, he would get it.

The soul spell around Gretel's neck was designed to locate the Death Eaters under Voldemort's control to help him kidnap.

When talking about the Death Eaters, Dumbledore's eyes were full of disgust, and he said that the guys were like cockroaches in the sewers.

In this case, there are only two ways to ensure Gretel's safety and freedom.

The first is to ask him to apply for a vacation to stay at school, as long as he is in Hogwarts, no matter how many Death Eaters come, it is impossible to capture him, not to mention that there are professors on duty.

As long as he doesn't leave Hogwarts' actual control during the holidays, he doesn't have to worry about safety and freedom.

No one can take a captive at Hogwarts, not even Tom, Dumbledore said this with confidence in his tone.

The second option is to change the portkey location to the Americas, where Newt Scamander is now on holiday and won't be back to Dorset until next year.

As long as Gretel goes to the Americas, Newt will definitely be able to guarantee his safety, and it can be said that he will be foolproof when he returns when school starts.

Besides, when you get to the Americas, you don't have to worry about the Death Eaters, Voldemort's hand can't reach that far.

In other words, he can see which professor is available during the holidays, and he can temporarily live in the professor's house.

Most Death Eaters are incapable of snatching people from a few of Hogwarts' main professors.

β€”β€”

There were still a few days left before the holiday, and Dumbledore asked him to think about it while he was in the middle of the day.

He was at school until the official day of the holiday, and after letting Gretel think it through, he went to the principal's office to tell him.

Gretel, of course, didn't want to be under house arrest and spend the entire holiday at Hogwarts.

He had planned to take advantage of this vacation to investigate the needs of wizards so that he could resume his research next semester.

Of the remaining two options, of course, the priority is to hug the thighs of each professor.

Newt's thighs are also thick, but after all, he is not familiar with it, and it is easier to gather wool from acquaintances.

But after asking around, I couldn't get my wish.

Professor Flitwick is a goblin hybrid, and returns to the elven colony every holiday season.

But the elves have always rejected wizards, and Flitwick says that if Glitter doesn't mind spending the day in his cabin, he'd be glad to spend the holiday with Gretel.

After declining, Glitter found other professors who were able to protect him.

Unfortunately, Professors Snape and McGonagall rotate at Hogwarts, while Professor Sprout has to search for a magical plant in an ancient jungle.

After all attempts were fruitless, Glitter had no choice but to find Dumbledore and tell him his choice.

It was impossible for him to bring the danger to the orphanage, so he sent a letter to Mrs. Swan, saying that he was going to study in the Americas for a while.

By the time Dumbledore returned the modified portkey to Gretel, Harry had been compromised by Madam Pomfrey and allowed to attend the Hogwarts year-end dinner.

The most exciting thing in the whole auditorium is undoubtedly the Ravenclaw, especially the seventh grade, this year's graduates.

In their current state, Gretel really couldn't put anything to do with Ravenclaw.

Who would have thought that Ravenclaw would have such a crazy side.

Even Terry, who is usually the least like Ravenclaw, is as calm as the silent Black Lake outside the castle in front of this group of seventh-grade seniors.

The entire auditorium was decorated in blue and bronze to represent Ravenclaw, and on the wall behind the podium hung a large banner representing Ravenclaw.

Of course, at the year-end dinner, few people will have a drooping face.

Except for Slytherin.

Slytherins, from first to seventh years, looked at their headmaster with their mouths furrowed.

There is no way, Ravenclaw can win the first place, and a large part of the credit has to be deducted from Gretel.

Who let Quirrell, who parasitized the mysterious man, and Severus, the only professor of Potions who was known for his harshness, Severus Snape, the head of Slytherin, frantically give the first-year freshman extra points in his own class.

So much so that by the end of the period, Ravenclaw's score was even a full forty-eight points higher than Slytherin's four hundred and seventy-two points.

Keep in mind that Ravenclaw's Quidditch score is not top-notch, at least much less than Slytherin's.

But even so, the final score of the Academy Cup showed a crushing attitude.

Of course, Snape has been coaching for many years and has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has never seen any scenes, just to highlight a expressionless face.

Even Gretel could tell in Snape's grim eyes as he looked at the Slytherin serpent.

Gretel can even simulate what he is thinking: If it weren't for the fact that you guys are as 'brilliant' as trolls, you would have gotten more points from me.

Everyone but Slytherin celebrated Ravenclaw's decision to prevent Slytherin from winning the House Cup for seven years in a row.

After seeing the expression of the entire Slytherin snake as if it had swallowed a whole bitter melon.

Throughout the auditorium, the Gryffindor graduates were so happy that they even caught up with the Ravenclaw graduates.

This time, they have been suppressed by Slytherin for seven years, and everyone even dreams of doing Slytherin a vote.

Originally, they were going to give up.

In the other six grades, we have been living together for six years and have a clear understanding of the level of our respective houses.

Who would have thought that this year, from the second week of the official class, Ravenclaw would give them such a big surprise, and this surprise even came from the wizard in the first year.

Bonus points, continuous bonus points, and even after Voldemort borrowed Quirrell's body to coach, Ravenclaw's score was unbeatable.

You must know that in the past few years, no matter which college, first-year students have always been a drag on their seniors.

If you are not familiar with the rules and regulations, you will be deducted points.

The night tour was caught and points were deducted.

was targeted by Filch to find fault and deducted points.

……

It can be said that the projects in which little wizards can be deducted points are strange, and there are few people who win glory for their own academy in the first year.

Gretel did it, and he became a worthy hero of the three houses.

Everyone gave him a look of gratitude.

Except, of course, Slytherin.

There is even a mixture of hatred and anger in the gaze that is cast at him.

Gretel didn't care, Ravenclaw didn't care, and several other houses didn't care.

This eagerness lasted until the appearance of Harry Potter, the great savior who once again thwarted the conspiracy of the mysterious man.

When Harry walked in, the entire auditorium fell silent.

There was silence until Harry sat down and the excitement was restored, and everyone turned their eyes away from Glitter to the rising stars of the wizarding world.

Since losing a lot of points to Gryffindor, Harry hadn't enjoyed everyone's enthusiasm in a long time.

This heroic performance allowed Harry to regain Gryffind's enthusiasm for a long time, even more than the start of school.

Harry had expected it when he woke up and saw the bed full of gifts, but he was still a little flattered.

Weasley's twin brothers winked at Harry, regretting the toilet seat they had given away that had been confiscated by Madam Pomfrey.

It was a special gift that the two of them had been thinking about for a long time.

"Another year has passed," Dumbledore stood up cheerfully, "before I can indulge in these delicacies, I must trouble everyone to listen to the clichΓ©s of my old man......"

No one cared about Dumbledore's annual end-of-year summary, they were now only expecting a hurry to end the ceremony, and the delicious food in front of them did not allow them to think.

Until, "Now, we're doing the Academy Cup award ceremony.

The specific scores for each house are as follows: fourth place, Gryffindor, 312 points.

Third place, Hufflepuff, 352 points.

Second place, Slytherin, 472 points.

1st place, Ravenclaw, 520 points. ”

As the scores were announced, the entire cafeteria was greeted with cheers again, and Slytherin looked at the other three houses with ugly faces.

They just think it's noisy.

The Slytherins just wanted to hurry up and end the ritual that they had thought had been nice in previous years, but which they hated this year, and fill their stomachs and go to bed.

"Yes, yes, Ravenclaw has been doing exceptionally well this year," Dumbledore pressed his palm, "but, though, a few things that have happened recently must also be counted. ”
