Chapter 57: The Philosopher's Stone Chapter That Never Appeared in the Philosopher's Stone, Finale (Ask for Follow-up)
"Grindelwald."
"He and his saints committed numerous crimes, including several murders."
Through revolutions in the United States and Europe, he eventually established a base of power at the castle of Newmengard in Austria. In 1945, Dumbledore defeated him in a legendary duel. Later, he was imprisoned in Newmengard. ”
Exam week!
In Owen's continuous sigh.
He finished first in his class.
A good life doesn't need to be explained—if he hadn't gotten a perfect grade in his first-year exams as an adult wizard, then St. Elizabeth's Hospital would have beckoned to him.
"Enough Hermione, someone saved your life!"
In the crowded Great Hall, everyone is spending their last weekend at Hogwarts.
Tomorrow, the train leaving Hogwarts will be on its way to Hogsmeade Station.
"I've never denied that, Ron." Hermione was a little angry, her brows furrowed slightly, this guy, do you think she is some kind of bad woman with no conscience?
"I mean, how come there is no news from the wizarding world for such a big thing?"
"What news do you want?" Behind her, Owen grabbed a piece of pie in each hand and stuffed it, "If you're the warden, no one knows about your most important prisoner escaping, and that prisoner didn't make a fuss after he got out. ”
"Do you think this never happened, or do you claim that you are incompetent and have lost a prisoner?"
He licked the grease from his fingertips, then reached inside his shirt with his right hand.
Caught the sleeper who had been sleeping in his arms, "It's time to eat!" Shylock. ”
"Shylock?" Hannah poured a glass of milk into a silver dish and handed it to Owen.
"Well, the name of the little guy, how about it, it's good~"
It was a small beast about the size of an adult's palm.
He has blue eyes, like jewels.
Otherwise, with the exception of thicker claws, a leaf-like tail instead of a stick, and a deep mane around the neck, the rest of the body is almost indistinguishable from a cat.
Owen couldn't tell what kind of animal it was, not even Professor Sprout.
Perhaps only Professor Kettleburn (professor of the Fantastic Beasts Protection Class) and Hagrid could recognize its lineage in all of Hogwarts.
But since it was a gift from his grandfather, it was definitely not an ordinary magical beast.
There must be some strange ability.
"But—" Hermione still wanted to argue with Owen on something.
But Harry was tugged by his sleeve on the side, "I think he's a good guy, maybe there is some conflict between him and Professor Dumbledore, but it's better than Voldemort!" ”
With the braised egg, this stark contrast of killing his own parents, Harry has no ill feelings for Grindelwald at all.
That posture is simply the ultimate yearning of boys!
I've heard that there is already a small circle of Grindelwald in the first year of Gryffindor.
Mr. Potted with thick eyebrows and big eyes, served as the owner of the circle...
"I didn't mean that." Hermione pleaded again, and of course she thanked Grindelwald for saving her.
She struggled with why the so-called prison, Neumengard, was silent.
Maybe it's a perfect yearning for the wizarding world.
This silence reminded her of the British Empire's standard four-stage approach to crisis response.
It's hard to accept.
And Owen, the musician, has long seen through everything.
Everybody laughs at Great Britain, everybody is Great Britain.
"In the first phase, we announced that nothing had happened."
"The second stage is to say that something may happen, but we shouldn't take action."
"The third stage, saying maybe we should act, but we don't do anything."
"In the fourth stage, I said that maybe I could have done something at the beginning, but now it's too late."
"Isn't there still the International Confederation of Wizards?" He's here, what if the Federation asks for our support? "Hermione, who was still very immature at this time, did not have the demeanor of the Minister of Magic in the future.
Thinking of such a simple question, Owen didn't even think about it, and replied directly: "Then we will provide all support except help." ”
“???”
Well—Hermione was dumbfounded.
"Ding~~~" A crisp sound of glass clattering spread throughout the auditorium.
Professor McGonagall looked at the young wizards of the four colleges with a smile on her face.
That look, in particular, stayed on Owen for the longest time.
However, if it was in the past, the longer Mr. Meow looked at him, the darker his face became. Today is a great pleasure.
...
Liberated!
Freedom!
This unfortunate kid is finally leaving school!
————
"Another year has passed!" Headmaster Dumbledore gave a forced smile.
"A lot has happened at Hogwarts in the past year. But before we can enjoy a delicious meal, as is customary, we have to hold a ceremony for the Academy Cup. ”
No sooner had the old headmaster finished speaking than a thunderous cheer and stomping erupted at the Hufflepuff table.
The Badger House has never been so proud.
The Fat Friar even floated in the air, frantically provoking the ghosts of the other academies.
Professor Sprout also deliberately changed his clothes, a decent and clean dark green wizard's robe.
You must know that in the original book, Professor Sprout usually wears a thick hat full of patches and is covered in mud, because she always stays in the greenhouse and twiddles with flowers and plants. Whether it's a freshman dinner, a Christmas dinner, or a final dinner.
It has always been so.
Owen felt that their dean should be in a mess.
Hufflepuffs count down year after year, anyway.
The dean didn't care if he was just messing around, especially since Slytherin and six in a row had won the championship again.
Professor Sprout's mentality is understandable.
But this year is different.
Because this year it was they who won!
Hufflepuff victory for the first time in decades.
And there is no doubt that it is a big score, with a terrifying score of nearly 250 points ahead of the second place.
Seven hundred and fifty-seven points!
This was the result of Dumbledore's eccentric addition to Gryffindor.
Otherwise, Gryffindor would never have been four hundred.
"It seems that there is no suspense anymore." Dumbledore looked at Owen.
Since the Forbidden Forest and the Philosopher's Stone, he has gained nearly three hundred points alone.
Coupled with the earnings from the lessons, although this kid is very skinny, you can't deny that he is indeed very smart.
As a result, at least half of Hufflepuff's points are earned by him.
"Then I declare that Hufflepuff has won this year's Hogwarts House Cup!"
In the auditorium, the brown flag belonging to the badger courtyard fluttered in the air.
Behind the rostrum, the huge floor-to-ceiling window also appeared the image of a simple, lovely, and strong badger.
Suddenly, the entire auditorium was plunged into a sea of joy.
