Chapter 231 The award ceremony with twists and turns

Of course, Diana didn't come in the end. For some reasons, she rarely appeared in crowded places like school.

But despite this, she sent Dumbledore a howling letter.

No one knew the content of the roaring letter, but that day, someone saw the phoenix on the Quidditch pitch, and there were also a group of bragging old men and women in the portraits of the castle.

"That little girl is so scary..."

When someone was passing by the corridor, they heard a big-nosed wizard complaining to the witch next to him:

"She even scolded us...Merlin's socks. What does Dumbledore's appointment of a Death Eater as a professor have to do with us? I have been dead for more than three hundred years..."

Dumbledore? Death Eaters?

The student felt that he had discovered something and stopped hurriedly, wanting to hear clearly.

But when he turned to look at the portrait, he found that the person inside was chasing a pony and was not talking at all.

Look next to you...two witches are having afternoon tea.

"Did I hear wrong just now?" He scratched his head and left in confusion.

In the afternoon...Chris came.

But Kyle felt that he was more like taking this opportunity to come to the school to visit relatives and friends. He didn't say a few words to himself, but he had a very good chat with Professor Flitwick next to him.

Later, Professor McGonagall also came, and the three of them became happier and happier as they chatted, and finally went to the Three Broomsticks for a drink together.

Kyle watched them leave the castle dumbfounded and silently gave a thumbs up.

As for Harry, he was still in the school hospital, lying sadly on his bed.

He wasn't surprised that the Dursleys didn't come.

Sad because he was unable to participate in the last Quidditch match, and Madam Pomfrey said she would not allow him to be discharged from the hospital.

And in order to drive away the persistent Oliver Wood, she even asked Filch to guard the door.

Without him as a seeker, Gryffindor's morale was extremely low, and they were beaten to pieces by Ravenclaw.

Qiu caught the Golden Snitch in the seventh minute of the game and they had no time to score.

After the game, they happened to be tied for first place... and last place with Slytherin, who had lost three games in a row.

At that time, Professor McGonagall's expression was frighteningly ugly.

The little wizard also said that he saw Professor McGonagall taking Wood to the astronomy tower...it seemed that he wanted to hang him in the highest place of the castle to reflect.

But someone finally confirmed that this was a rumor... In fact, Professor McGonagall went back to the office after the game and never came out again.

…

In this way, time quickly came to the last day before the holiday.

That night, everyone went to the year-end party.

When Kyle and others rushed to the auditorium, it was already full of people. The Great Hall was decorated in Hufflepuff's yellow and black colors to celebrate their second consecutive House Cup. A huge banner with a Hufflepuff badger hanging on the wall behind the guest of honor seat.

The Quidditch champion added a lot of points, allowing them to overtake Slytherin at the last minute and become first place.

The auditorium was extremely lively, and everyone was looking forward to the upcoming vacation. It was not until Dumbledore arrived that the noise gradually subsided.

"Ah, another year has passed..."

At the dinner table, Kyle didn't want to listen to what Dumbledore said.

He wondered with some curiosity whether Hufflepuff could win the final Academy Cup this year.

Dumbledore didn't keep him waiting long...

“Now, we first have to conduct the Academy Cup award ceremony. The specific scores of each academy are as follows:

Fourth place, Gryffindor, 410 points.

Third place, Ravenclaw, 436 points.

Second place, Slytherin, 495 points.

First place, Hufflepuff, 500 points! "

A thunderous cheer and stamping of feet erupted from the Hufflepuff table, but Kyle did not celebrate. He knew very well... This was definitely not the final result.

"Yes, yes, good performance, Hufflepuff." Dumbledore said, "However, the recent events must also be taken into account."

The auditorium became very quiet, and Cedric and his friends' smiles also faded a bit.

Dumbledore cleared his throat:

"I still have some points to distribute, let me see...

"First, Mr. Keljoba..."

Kyle was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would be the first one.

"...With his excellent herbal skills, he helped the college solve the problem of insufficient potion materials, and also helped find lost precious items. I award fifty points to Hufflepuff House for this!"

The Hufflepuff students were all ecstatic, and several people who knew Kyle well, such as Cedric and Mikel, were dancing excitedly.

But Kyle couldn't laugh at all.

Potion ingredients?

No wonder he didn't even see the biting cabbage residue when he went to the restricted area again...

"Second, Mr. Ron Weasley...he won the most exciting game of chess at Hogwarts in many years, and I award fifty points to Gryffindor House for that!"

This time the cheers came to Gryffindor, and Ron's face suddenly turned red, like a carrot dried by the sun.

Percy loudly told the other prefects: "It's my brother, you know! My youngest brother successfully passed Professor McGonagall's giant chessboard array!"

It took a lot of effort for everyone to calm down.

"third……"

Immediately afterwards, Dumbledore gave Hermione and Harry fifty points each.

Gryffindor has risen a full 150 points. They are now at 560 points, just over Hufflepuff.

They just finished last and won the Academy Cup? !

After a brief silence, the cheers at the Gryffindor table nearly brought down the enchanted ceiling.

Harry, Ron and Hermione stood up and cheered loudly, and the Weasley brothers stood on their stools, waving their hats, facing Kyle and laughing proudly.

"That means it!" Dumbledore had to shout loudly to drown out the thunderous cheers. "We need to make some small changes to the decor here."

He clapped his hands, and immediately, the yellow hanging ribbons turned into bright red, the black ones turned into gold, and the huge Hufflepuff badger disappeared, replaced by a majestic Gryffindor lion.

After many days, Professor McGonagall finally showed her long-lost smile.

But just as she was about to shake hands with Professor Sprout...

"Bang bang bang!"

Suddenly someone knocked on the door of the auditorium, and then seven gray-haired old wizards opened the door and walked in dusty.

The one walking at the front was holding a delicate box in his hand.

He looked at the bustling auditorium and said with a smile: "Thanks Merlin, Hogwarts hasn't been on vacation yet. It seems we arrived in time."
