The door of the auditorium suddenly opened, Zhang Xiao had never seen such a scene before, and the four long tables were moved far away, revealing a huge open space in the middle.

The little wizards stood on either side in their robes, their feet stretched out and looking at the doorway.

Thunderous applause erupted, and they clapped their hands vigorously, whistled sharply, and shouted loudly.

In the innermost teacher's seat, Dumbledore sat in the silver high-backed chair, smiling.

The professors sat in their seats, looking up.

Uh, this face. It's a bit big, right?

Harry makes big news every grade on average, and even killed the basilisk (the water version) doesn't have such exaggerated treatment!

"You deserve it, and when you stand up and stand in front of all the little wizards, you deserve it all."

Professor McGonagall slapped her face lightly and added, "Professor Dumbledore agreed, and he felt that he deserved the praise." ”

Professor Dumbledore agreed?

Zhang Xiaomai moved his stiff legs and walked in, this kind of warm scene was the first time he had experienced it.

Of course - if he hadn't died in his previous life, he would have been able to have a welcome party like this.

The moment he stepped into the door, the cheers and applause suddenly became even more enthusiastic.

A bright red carpet slowly opened along his footsteps, and the canopy above his head displayed all kinds of fireworks, Li Jordan took the microphone and shouted in a deep voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen!

Let's welcome - the defenders of Hogwarts, the redeemers of the ghosts, the changers of the kitchen, the best students of Slytherin, the warriors who slay the basilisk, the dragon knights!

Xiao —————————————— Zhang! ”

All kinds of noisy sounds mixed with a tsunami rushed over, and Zhang Xiao tried his best to imagine the surrounding crowd as curly-haired baboons and came to the rostrum.

All around were the shouts of the little wizards, and some unusual shouts could be faintly distinguished:

"Zhang! Can you eat a basilisk? ”

"Big dung bombs are sold in the front row, oops - who hit me!"

"Escape room, quietly curse and shut the Parseltongue to ban the roaring letter, is there a one?"

"Barbecue contest! Compare with the degree of Noble drooling! ”

Zhang Xiao stopped, Dumbledore had already stood up, his hands pressed down slightly, and the auditorium quickly fell silent.

"Many, many things have happened in the time I've been away, and the shadow is trying to loom over Hogwarts once again.

However, I saw a scene that made me happy, and everyone did not care about their own safety and bravely stood up. ”

Zhang Xiao suddenly brightened, no wonder Dumbledore agreed to make such a big scene.

Blocking the basilisk by himself is only one aspect, it should be more that under his own subtle influence, the four colleges have a lot less barriers, and they are even willing to stand up and rescue their classmates!

This is what Dumbledore dreamed of, the picture he wanted to see, unity and fraternity!

Dumbledore paused, his beard quivering:

"At the time of the crisis, there were many brave actions that are worth remembering - such as Harry Potter, when the secret room was opened, forgetting his own safety, he was the first to jump into the secret room, although this act was very reckless.

But it is undeniable that it is very brave and noble! ”

The scene that had just quieted down suddenly became heated again, Harry grinned embarrassedly, and the little wizards around him frantically patted his shoulders and rubbed his hair.

They are still thrilled and even nostalgic for the scene of the collective charge at that time.

I can't wait for another enemy to charge.

That's Voldemort! Although it's a juvenile version, and the basilisk, they're all scared away by themselves!

Pinch your waist, assemble, we are invincible!

Dumbledore chuckled, then added:

"Ravenclaw said that great wisdom is the greatest treasure of mankind, and there was a little wizard who showed us how powerful wisdom can be.

In a short period of time, she deduced the truth, verified it, and finally was even willing to gamble everything she had in exchange for a chance to try.

When the sound of the Parseltongue resounded in every corner of the castle.

The open secret room is the greatest compliment to her!

Hermione Granger, a young wizard born into a Muggle family, but better than pureblood.

You should remember this name, because her existence shows us how ridiculous the pure-blood nobility theory is! ”

The cheers that erupted around them almost broke through the ceiling, and everyone remembered the eerie hissing sound that came from them when they opened the yelling letter.

There were also shouts full of shock and incredulity:

"Here! I've got the door open here! ”

and Hermione's relieved crying, no one knew how much pressure Hermione was under.

No one thought that if the secret room hadn't opened Hermione's own situation, she would become a laughing stock, and even accompany the school for a long time.

Hermione's little face was as red as a red Fuji, and she lowered her head and wiped her tears vigorously:

"Oh, I didn't expect, I didn't expect Dumbledore to say that, it's nothing, it's really nothing, it's just a little Satoshi-"

"O Merlin! Hermione, don't be clever! Ron held his head and raised his eyebrows:

"If you're clever, then what are we? Trolls? ”

The people on the side nodded frantically, for fear that Hermione insisted that she was just clever, and then she could only be a troll.

An ethereal voice abruptly cut through all the chaos:

"Your wisdom shines, and many in Ravenclaw are ashamed of it."

Everyone turned their heads to see a little blonde girl wearing earrings and necklaces made of butterbeer stoppers.

The eyebrows are light, and the eyes are slightly raised and rounded, giving the impression that they are just surprised.

Everyone glanced at each other, and they all showed with their eyes that they didn't know her.

The little Ravenclaw girl did not feel embarrassed at all, and said in a singing voice:

"Luna Lovegood! Hello~~"

After speaking, the little girl turned to the aisle on tiptoe with her hands behind her back, humming softly, looking in a good mood.

Amazing little girl!

Fortunately, Dumbledore's 'commendation meeting' was not over yet.

"Calm and judging the situation, there is no team of best friends like Gryffindor and Slytherin.

Mr. Malfoy did not panic when the crisis occurred, but did not hesitate to choose his friend.

And calmly added to the plan, I think he did an excellent job of the qualities that Slytherin should have. ”

Malfoy gracefully bowed to the podium, but his slightly flushed cheeks showed his excitement.

Zhang Xiao also smiled and clapped his hands, it's not easy, it's been almost two years, and he has finally changed Malfoy from a nasty spoiled second ancestor to such an arrogant but reliable 'deputy to the king'.

He didn't seem to have any highlights, but Malfoy's points were crucial every time.

For example, he went to Myrtle for confirmation, and after Hermione's request was denied, he tried to turn it into a sponsorship operation.

When a road is blocked, Slytherin will not give up easily, but will seriously consider other possibilities.

Malfoy raised his head, tilted his face proudly, puffed out his chest, and deliberately adjusted the position of the Qingluan Society badge.

The cheers gradually subsided, and Dumbledore continued:

"Some people are in the front, some people are making suggestions, some people are filling in the gaps, but some people are willing to do the work that is not dazzling.

Cedric Diggory! ”

The cheers of the little badgers are simply loud in the sky, even the little badgers who lie down and eat melons are buried with a dream of shining one day!

Cedric's handsome face also turned red, and he waved at everyone a little shyly.

"When someone needed to calm everyone's emotions and not let the panic spread, everyone thought of the gentle and kind Hufflepuff.

This may not be very conspicuous, but has always been reliable Hufflepuff, our silent friend!

Whenever it's just Hufflepuff, you'll never have to go alone! ”

The little badgers were going crazy, and they let out a frenzied roar, and their hands were swollen.

Raise your wand and shoot sparks wildly into the sky.

Professor Sprout wiped tears with excitement, grabbed Professor Flitwick beside him, pointed at Cedric and shouted:

"Look at that, this is the best Hufflepuff student at the moment, maybe Hufflepuff doesn't have some dazzling characters very often.

But as long as it appears, it must be the best one! ”

Professor Flitwick was almost dragged off the auspicious clouds by the chubby Professor Sprout, so he had to grab the clouds with both hands and let himself be dangled by Strawney.

It's not easy, Zhang Xiao slapped his face, Cedric was like a shooting star, his appearance made the little badgers very proud, but everything turned into sadness with his death.

Now he can get recognition and applause in advance, which is indeed a very good thing.

When the badgers finally calmed down, Dumbledore said calmly.

"A long time ago. There was a Slytherin student who was so gifted and brilliant that he was loved by everyone.

He believed that only power could obtain everything, and he believed that the spirit of Slytherin was unscrupulous and supreme in power. ”

The little wizards were silent, some of them didn't know, but there were still many young wizards who understood who Headmaster Dumbledore was talking about.

"That's right, he's Voldemort, and his name is Tom Riddle."

An uneasy cacophony rang out in the auditorium.

"Whether it's manipulating Gilderoy Lockhart this time, or opening the secret room to create panic, it's another temptation for him to make a comeback!"

The noise was louder again, and Dumbledore's voice was a little more emotional:

"Not long ago, there was also a Slytherin student, he was so gifted and talented, and all the professors liked him very much—"

Suddenly, the students of the entire auditorium focused their attention on Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Xiao only felt that there were little ants crawling all over his body, and it was not a good thing to have a strong spiritual sense

"This Slytherin showed us a completely different side to Voldemort.

There should be no estrangement between the four academies, unity is more important than everything, strength is not only to power, but to protect more people!

When the basilisk comes, the professors are out of whack, and someone has to step up!

That's right, this Slytherin is Zhang!

He gave us one of the best battles in the millennial history of Hogwarts, stepping on the dragon and raising his spear, as many had imagined.

Charge! Never back!

He risked his life to fight the basilisk, and he used what he learned brilliantly to pull off a miracle - defeating the basilisk!

Zhang showed us what a true Slytherin is: leadership, wisdom, tolerance and the courage to fight to the death when necessary! ”

Many Slytherin students puffed up their chests proudly, trying to make the badge on their chests shine brighter.

Zhang Xiao's face is a little red, this compliment is embarrassing!

Dumbledore's voice suddenly rose high, and his eyes glistened with water:

"Once upon a time, I had always feared that Voldemort would make a comeback and re-extend his evil claws into the wizarding world.

But as you rushed into the chamber one by one, one after the other, I was sure of one thing!

No matter how many times Voldemort returns, he will fail in the face of everyone who believes in love and unity!

I'm announcing – this year's House Cup is being awarded early! There will be four faculties to get together!

Because each and every one of you deserves the House Cup! ”

With a wave of Dumbledore's hand, the entire Great Hall completely changed.

The coats of arms of the four academies suddenly appeared on the walls, and the decorations changed to four colors.

In the honor room, a line of gilded small characters slowly appeared:

"'92-93, House Cup winners – Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff"

The auditorium erupted in applause louder than all the previous ones combined.

The Weasley twins roared loudly, and then pulled off two special fireworks.

"Huh"

"Boom!" The little wizards looked up and saw a brilliant set of fireworks explode above the canopy.

It was combined into a scene where Zhang Xiao rode Noble and charged at the basilisk.

Professor McGonagall, who had returned to her classroom seat, pursed her mouth again and looked at the fireworks on the ceiling solemnly.

The school rule that fireworks are forbidden in the school and the thought of 'forget it, it's a happy day' came to life in my head.

Eventually, the desire to let them go took over, and she forcibly looked away, and then heard Fred and George's unconcealed shouts:

"Great, the Academy Cup competition ended early!"

"Don't worry about getting deducted points again!"

"The rest of the time—"

"We could-"

"Have fun! (Together)"

Professor McGonagall's eyebrows furrowed, and the 'little man who let them go' immediately slap to death in his mind, and the supremacy of the school rules regained his brain.

"Take it easy, Minerva!"

Dumbledore looked at the lively Great Hall with a smile, as if it had never been so lively.

All the little wizards, regardless of each other or their houses, laughed and laughed together.

Zhang Xiao has also been pulled into the crowd by her peers, and is receiving crazy pats and hugs from her classmates.

"How nice, that's good." Dumbledore wiped his eyes, "What a beautiful scene." ”

Dumbledore suddenly felt what a wonderful thing it would be if time could stand still in this moment.

He reached out and decided to add something else to the gala.

It seems like it's just a blink of an eye.

The long tables on both sides are filled with a variety of snacks and drinks like a drinking party.

"Students—the banquet begins!"
