Chapter 78 Life goes on, and so does death.

"The competition will begin next. Students who have registered please go backstage to prepare. The rest of the students can enjoy the food in front of them~"

Professor Dumbledore looked at the list of participants, which was almost entirely Hufflepuff students, and sighed in his heart.

Hufflepuff started preparing a month in advance, and other colleges only received the notice yesterday. How can they compete?

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. The only few teams from other colleges are just making up the numbers. All the students who made it to the semi-finals in the three games are Hufflepuff students.

The other colleges that forced to join in halfway have no objection to this, even those teams are the same, all of which are preparing for the next year.

The first competition to start and end is the lion dance. A complete lion dance performance is a skill that takes ten years of hard work to perform for one minute on stage, but Adam's side is obviously not so strict. Each team is given three minutes to perform freely, and the four deans, Professor Dumbledore and Adam are responsible for scoring.

In the end, Cedric and his roommate won unanimous praise with the most exquisite lion dance shape and the most agile performance, and won the championship with full marks.

By the way, Adam thought that the lion tail with a very coquettish butt twisting back and forth was Cedric's roommate, who would have thought it was Cedric himself.

This kid, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually...

"Are you sure it's you two?"

Adam was awarding the first prize of the lion dance competition, the championship trophy of the first Hogwarts Lion Dance Competition and a year's quota for awakening lion cakes, both the lion head and the lion tail of the lion dance can be obtained.

Of course, it is said to be a year, in fact, it is only during the school period of Hogwarts, and only on the two days of the week when Adam is open for business, you can come to pick it up, and you can pick up five pieces a day. As for the range of a year, it is from tomorrow's New Year's Day to next year's New Year's Eve, but it is obviously enough to satisfy the two of them.

Cedric received the reward himself, and his roommate blushed and gave the reward to another Hufflepuff girl.

Adam, who had eaten a mouthful of dog food for no reason: "..."

Okay, just be happy. If you want to get married after graduation, he also provides wedding candy and wedding cake customization~

In addition to the first prize, the second and third place also have runner-up and third place trophies, which are in the shape of lion dance like the champion trophy, but the appearance of the three is different in luxury.

In addition, each participating team member has a lion dance cake, which is considered a participation prize.

After the lion dance competition, the dragon dance competition and the lantern competition followed closely-

Compared to the lion dance, the dragon dance is basically a pure hands-on ability, which is similar to the lantern competition. After all, the lion dance can be played freely, but the dragon dance does not have much room for play.

In the end, Vivian's dormitory won the championship of the dragon dance competition. It can be seen that the dragon head has studied the dragon shape in China, and they are the only team that made dragon balls.

The champion of the lantern competition is Qiu Zhang, who looks like an Asian. The golden phoenix silhouette on the big red lantern is flapping its wings and ready to fly, and it adds a bit of agility after lighting the candle.

After the awards were handed out, the New Year's Eve at Hogwarts was almost over.

Back in the Hufflepuff common room, everyone tacitly did not leave, but waited in the common room together. Professor Sprout was also there.

Not long after, a fragrance that was difficult to describe in words drifted from the direction of the boys' dormitory. Everyone who had just eaten eight-tenths full in the auditorium swallowed their saliva together, and even couldn't help feeling a little hungry again.

What kind of food is this, it's so scary...

"Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is here~"

When the fragrance enveloped everyone, Adam's voice came late.

Dried abalone, sea cucumber, fish maw, ham, flower mushrooms, pig's trotters, winter bamboo shoots, scallops, clams... More than ten kinds of high-quality ingredients were processed separately, then added to the old hen soup, sealed in the jar, and simmered for about sixteen hours on a low fire. Now that it was opened, even Adam felt his saliva secreted rapidly.

Because everyone had already had dinner, Adam didn't prepare much, one clay pot per person, but he didn't skimp on the ingredients, and everyone's clay pot had a variety of ingredients.

It was this clay pot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that made the Hufflepuffs feel the charm of Chinese cuisine, and laid a solid foundation for the only soup on the top 10 best-selling list in Adam's restaurant in the future.

Maybe Adam devoted too much energy to the Chinese New Year, and Lockhart, who hadn't been close to his new female fans for a while, felt that he could do it again, and found a time he thought was very suitable.

Just as Adam was preparing for the Lantern Festival, Valentine's Day came to Hogwarts first...

On Valentine's Day, Adam couldn't help but stop when he walked into the hall.

I saw that the hall, which was wrapped in bright red a few days ago, was now full of pink flowers, and heart-shaped paper pieces fell from the ceiling one after another - the dishes on the captain's table were all these paper pieces, and it was obvious that these paper pieces could not be eaten.

Adam soon realized who was responsible for all this, and looked towards the teacher's seat, where he found Lockhart watching all this with satisfaction.

Alas...

Adam even felt a little tired at this moment. From the perspective of psychological quality, Lockhart is really a talent. Every time Adam thought he could cause him serious psychological damage, he could quickly adjust his state and start to commit suicide again.

Perhaps for Lockhart, not being able to attract everyone's attention is a more painful thing than death...

"Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!"

Seeing that there were almost quite a few people at the four long tables, Lockhart spoke excitedly, seemingly not noticing the cold faces of his colleagues around him and

"Yes, it was me who made these surprises for everyone, to thank the 71 fans who sent me Valentine's Day cards and those who were shy to express their love for me~"

Speaking, Lockhart showed a bright smile.

At this moment, an owl happened to fly into the auditorium and flew to Lockhart. Lockhart took down the envelope with a big heart on it:

"Oh - another love letter, thank this fan!"

"Who is sending him Valentine's Day cards?"

Cologne couldn't help whispering.

Thanks to the Chinese New Year that just passed and the upcoming Lantern Festival, he didn't even notice the arrival of Valentine's Day.

"Who knows, maybe it's him."

Uther had a mocking smile on his face:

"Last time I went to ask Professor Flitwick about Lockhart, and Professor Flitwick shared with me some of Professor Lockhart's past 'interesting stories' - for example, when this professor was studying at Hogwarts, he mailed hundreds of love letters to himself on a Valentine's Day..."

"Hiss - write love letters to yourself? Why?"

Hearing what Cologne said, Uther looked at Lockhart in the teacher's seat:

"Maybe he wants everyone to think he is very popular, but now this professor obviously knows that it is not so realistic to send hundreds of love letters at the same time."
