At the year-end banquet, the little wizards of all grades gathered in the auditorium, neatly sitting on the long tables of the four major colleges.

Today is the day the final results are announced, and the final home of the House Cup is announced.

For the young wizards of Hogwarts, it is very important.

The first place in the year was unsurprisingly taken by Dudley, followed by Hermione, Harry in third, Malfoy in fourth, and then Ron and Neville.

The first four did not surprise others, the abilities of the four are obvious to all, but Ron and Neville belong to two unexpected dark horses.

The auditorium was decorated in green and silver representing Slytherin to celebrate their seventh consecutive year of winning the House Cup. On the wall behind the guest of honor stood a large banner depicting Slytherin snakes.

Not surprisingly, Slytherin won the House Cup by overwhelmingly crushing the other three houses.

The current ranking is:

fourth, Gryffindor, 111 points;

third, Hufflepuff, 352 points;

second, Ravenclaw, 406 points;

First place, Slytherin, 609 points.

The score of one house in Slytherin is almost as good as the score of the remaining three houses combined, and this is all thanks to Dudley, he is like a scoring machine, he can get a few points in every class, which is terrifying.

In fact, Gryffindor is not so miserable, but Hermione also fought for them a lot of points, but Professor McGonagall was deducted 200 points for the crowd fight, and 50 points were deducted for attacking classmates, plus Hermione did not earn points directly, Gryffindor was still at the bottom even if he got a good ranking in Quidditch.

It's not a double digit that's already very face-saving.

But the Gryffindors didn't seem to mind, they were used to being at the bottom anyway.

"Before the official start of the dinner, we will have the Academy Cup award ceremony. I think you've all seen the scores. Dumbledore, who was sitting in the headmaster's seat, said slowly.

The Slytherin table erupted in thunderous cheers and stomping.

The House Cup is a sure thing.

609 points, hey, 609 points, what do you guys take to win us?

Brother Xun has an old saying: "Until the last moment, always let your guard down." Even if it seems to be taken for granted. ”

"yes, Slytherin, it's been a good year." Dumbledore said meaningfully, "However, I think a few things that have happened recently must be taken into account as well. ”

The Great Hall immediately became very quiet, and the Slytherins seemed to realize something, and their uncontrollable spooky smiles subsided a little.

"Ahem." Dumbledore cleared his throat, and the next second his voice became very loud, echoing in every corner of the Great Hall: "There are still some final points to be distributed."

"Let me see."

He pulled a piece of parchment out of his pocket and put on a pair of glasses, as if to make out the handwriting.

"That's right. Item 1 – Mr. Ron Weasley"

He won one of the best games at Hogwarts in many years, and he should be rewarded with 100 points for that."

Immediately there was a cheer on the Gryffindor table.

Ron is a member of Gryffindor, and his points must have been added to Gryffindor House.

"The second item – Mr. Neville Longbottom's familiarity with the devil's web and his subtle fire spell. Reward him with 100 points. ”

'Who is Neville?' Oh, that goofy-looking kid at Longbottom in the first grade. ’

"The third item – Miss Hermione Granger, she calmly performed logical reasoning and rewarded her with 100 points."

'Miss Know-It-All, it's kind of useful. ’

These total scores have risen by 300 points, and the little wizards of Gryffindor are extremely excited, plus the original 111 points, at this time, Gryffindor's score has reached 411 points, and the hourglass that was originally at the bottom jumped up, surpassing the original third and second, second only to Slytherin with 609 points.

The little wizards in the auditorium turned their heads one after another, and immediately there was a burst of 'buzzing' discussions, and the little wizards of Hufflepuff were at a loss, how could they have been at the bottom again? The young wizards of Ravenclaw were aware of what Soso was whispering, and the Gryffindors were already in ecstatic cheers, with only Slytherin being the most calm.

Man, that's 609 points, and even if Gryffindor adds 300 points to us, you'll be able to add another 200 points to beat us.

As if he hadn't seen it, Dumbledore continued to announce.

"Third item – Harry Potter."

He showed great courage and extraordinary courage, for which he was rewarded with 200 points.

The moment he made the announcement, the auditorium suddenly became extraordinarily silent. All the young wizards stared at Dumbledore in disbelief.

611 points, a full 2 points higher than 609 points.

In other words, the House Cup winner needs to change hands.

After a brief silence, thunderous cheers rang out, and the whole Gryffindor boiled.

Red fireworks continue to rise into the sky, dyeing Slytherin's green dangling ribbons bright red.

It's the Weasley brothers' fireworks.

The seniors stood up and drew their wands, and with their joint spell, the giant Slytherin snake disappeared and was replaced by a majestic Gryffindor lion.

"Glory to Gryffindor! The House Cup belongs to Gryffindor! ”

Whoever led the way, the entire Gryffindor table began to cheer, and they all celebrated that their house had won the House Cup.

Although many people, except for Harry, did not recognize the names mentioned by Dumbledore, it did not prevent them from being happy about it, especially beyond Slytherin.

The students of Slytherin were pale.

They couldn't figure out why they lost to Gryffindor inexplicably because they were crushed by absolute superiority.

Why? Rely on them to play tricks?

They don't admit it! It's not a fair competition!

However, those words were spoken by the greatest white wizard of this century, and even if there were ten thousand disobediences in his heart, he could only hold back.

"Hey, Slytherin, you lost the House Cup!"

I don't know which little wizard didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and he laughed out loud, which made the Slytherins, who had finally calmed down, break their defenses.

'We're Slytherin, we're going to judge the situation, we're going to be hi, TMD is angry!' ’

The Slytherins collectively turned to Gryffindor, glaring at them with cannibalistic eyes.

It's just that the Gryffindors, who were in ecstasy, didn't notice that the people mentioned by Headmaster Dumbledore didn't seem to have much mood swings, and the headmaster, who was supposed to be the happiest, Professor McGonagall's face was even more unresponsive at this time.

Dumbledore just sat where he was, quietly watching the scene unfold in front of him, quietly waiting

There was a loud bang, causing the surrounding windows and doors to shake slightly, attracting the attention of all the little wizards.

I saw a figure walk to the center of the auditorium.

His voice is not loud, but it is extremely penetrating, and it reaches every corner.

"I don't think Gryffindor is eligible for the House Cup!"
