Chapter 172 Glory to Hufflepuff and Gryffindor!

"Of course not!"

At night, when Hermione, Draco and Lin Xia finally stopped writing their papers and went to the banquet hall for dinner, Harry asked this question, and Hermione answered like this.

There is another dinner party at Hogwarts tonight. All the grades will be announced tomorrow, and the little wizards can go home after getting their grades.

It is said that Dumbledore will also attend this dinner party, so Draco and Lin Xia did not come to the Gryffindor table, but went to Hufflepuff.

Hermione answered Harry: "When I was writing my paper tonight, my thoughts did not cross each other. I knew very well what this quill wrote and what the other quill wrote."

Speaking of this, Hermione was very regretful.

"My thinking is not as good as Lin Xia, and even Draco can't keep up. Draco can already use three automatic quills at the same time, and Lin Xia can even use 5 quills and ensure that the content is not mixed, but I can't. I can only use two."

Harry and Ron looked at each other.

In fact, they thought that Hermione was already very good at using two quills.

They can only use one, and it is easy to write all kinds of unnecessary nonsense in the report.

Just to make the report fuller and not empty, so that the professor can see it and give them a high score.

Hermione's chattering voice came to my ears: "Last winter vacation, I practiced a lot of spells at home, which made my subsequent study career very smooth.

This summer vacation is longer than the winter vacation. Not only do I want to learn spells, I also want to do some research, and strive to publish a paper on my own in the second year of school and get the title of excellent student.

And this automatic feather pen, it is very good for thinking. I have to train myself to use more than 4 at the same time..."

Ron's body could not help but quietly move away from Hermione, even Harry did the same.

Ron whispered to Harry with a look of horror: "What's wrong with her? I just want to play during the holidays, why does she only want to study during the holidays?

Isn't it enough to study all day long in school? You have to force yourself like this even during the holidays?"

Harry whispered back: "Ron, maybe studying is Hermione's hobby."

Ron shrugged: "Then her hobby is really terrible!"

At the Hufflepuff dining table, Lin Xia and Draco were also discussing the summer vacation arrangements.

However, the conversation between the two was as cautious as always. Before the discussion, they cast a confusion spell around them.

Lin Xia said: "During the summer vacation, you should continue to study the heir course, and remember not to forget to practice every day. When you reach the foundation-building stage, the difficulty of practice will only be higher than that of the food realm, but the bonus will also be more powerful than that of the food realm."

Draco asked curiously: "For example, in what aspects?"

Lin Xia smiled meaningfully and kept it a secret: "You will feel this after you practice for a while."

Seeing her like this, Draco did not ask any more questions, but asked about her summer vacation arrangements instead.

Lin Xia: "I think I will be very busy this summer vacation. Not only will I follow Professor McGonagall to France to participate in the "Today's Transfiguration" Most Promising Newcomer Award Competition, but I also plan to go to Romania to visit the fire dragon. The wizards in Romania have sent me many invitations."

She sent the second reply letter to the gem dragon during the exam week.

Because everyone likes her stories, she deliberately wrote more plots than before, and the content is much richer, and there are many exciting and adventurous plots during the period.

Although there was no reply from Romania, Lin Xia thought that they should all be interested in that long story.

Coincidentally, she can take advantage of this summer vacation to go to Romania. Visiting the gem dragon is just a side trip, mainly to see if she can find a way to revive the cyan egg.

From beginning to end, she put several life essences into the egg, with strong and weak effects.

The cyan egg absorbed all of them, but it didn't recover its vitality. It still looked the same. I don't know if the energy is not enough for it to recover, or if it lacks some important opportunity.

I'm afraid this matter has to be handed over to professionals to solve.

Draco said enviously: "Going to France and Romania again, that's great, I also want to go abroad to study."

Lin Xia: "Believe it or not, after you complete the heir course, your father will let you travel around whenever you have time."

Draco thought of this and couldn't help but sigh.

Don't you have to travel around?

The Malfoy family is big and has a lot of connections to maintain. If he, the legitimate heir, doesn't go around, does he have to let his father do it himself?

The older he gets, the more troubles he finds, and he can't do whatever he wants like before.

"So Harry, Ron and I are both in a coma, and you have been in the hospital before, and we didn't ask you at that time. What happened in the end?"

Hermione asked Harry at the Gryffindor table.

Ron nodded and asked quietly, "I heard the story they told me. Professor Quirrell, the guy with ulterior motives, died, but the Philosopher's Stone that could make people immortal was also destroyed. Is this true?"

Harry hesitated and nodded, "Quirrel is dead. As for the Philosopher's Stone, I'm not sure. It should be destroyed."

Ron was very regretful, "That's the Philosopher's Stone. It can make people immortal. If it's destroyed, then Nicolas Flamel will also die?

He was a great alchemist who had lived for centuries. Without his existence, many inventions in the wizarding world would have stopped. "

Hermione had a different opinion: "No, Ron, there is not only one Master Nico in the wizarding world. Since Dumbledore became the Minister of Magic, he has introduced many policies to vigorously support wizards in research and invention.

In the past few years, many academic and inventive achievements have appeared, making the wizarding world more prosperous. I admit that Master Nico is great, but if you want to say that he alone supports the entire wizarding academic world, I don't think so. "

Seeing that Ron and Hermione were about to quarrel, Harry immediately said: "Master Nico will not die so soon."

"The principal told me that when Master Nico gave him the Magic Stone, he had already reserved enough elixir to take care of everything, and more."

Harry paused, "The headmaster told me that for people with a clear mind, death is just another great adventure, and the Philosopher's Stone is not actually such a wonderful thing.

With it, no matter how much wealth you want or how long you want to live, you can get it. These two things are what human beings want most - but the problem is that human beings like to choose things that are least beneficial to them. "

Ron looked at Hermione, "Can you understand what the principal means?"

Hermione snorted softly, "I don't quite understand, but I understand it somewhat. This is human instinct - what you can't get is always the best, and what you get is never as good as what you can't get."

Harry was a little at a loss, feeling that Ron and Hermione were about to quarrel again.

Fortunately, at this moment, there was a sudden noise in the little wizard, and everyone raised their heads in unison and looked towards the center.

Principal Dumbledore is here!

The principal smiled and picked up the silver spoon and tapped the cup gently.

After a while, the entire auditorium was filled with Hufflepuff logos, and the bright yellow covered the entire auditorium, making the auditorium resplendent and noble.

"Another year has passed!" said Dumbledore cheerfully. "Before you enjoy these delicacies, I must trouble you to listen to an old man's cliché.

What a wonderful year it has been. Your little minds must be richer than before... There is a whole summer waiting for you, so that you can digest what you have learned before the start of the next semester.

Haha, now let’s free up our brains and carry out the Academy Cup award ceremony. Let’s take a look at the specific scores of each academy:

Fourth place, Gryffindor, 312 points; third place, Ravenclaw, 352 points; second place, Slytherin, 426 points; first place, Hufflepuff, 672 points! "

A burst of thunderous cheers and stamping of feet erupted from the Hufflepuff table. Although the little badgers are more Buddhist and don't care much about points, they would be very happy if they could win a House Cup.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Lin Xia and Draco. The reason why Hufflepuff's scores were so high was entirely due to these two people.

These two people are so smart that it makes one wonder if they should go to Ravenclaw!

Not only was he an honor student at Hogwarts in his first year, he also published a paper and developed a brand new magic item.

Especially Lin Xia.

Her magnetic wand promoted the development of wands in the wizarding world and was revered as the "Mother of Magnetic Wands".

The youthful facial soap she invented was also very popular. As soon as she got permission to sell it, the demand for the product exceeded supply and it was sold out.

In short, Hufflepuff won the House Cup, and all the little wizards in Hogwarts recognized it. The aura of these two people was too strong.

Even Dean Sprout put on a smile and his face glowed amidst the cheers of the badgers.

Dumbledore spoke at this time: "Hufflepuff House's performance throughout the school year has been very good, but the recent events must also be taken into account."

The auditorium suddenly became very quiet, and the smiles on the faces of the badgers faded a bit.

"First, Mr. Ron Weasley...he won the most exciting game of chess in Hogwarts in many years. I award 100 points to Gryffindor House for this!"

"Second, Miss Hermione Granger... she faced the fire and calmly carried out logical reasoning. I will award 100 points to Gryffindor House!"

"Third, Harry Potter..." Dumbledore paused.

The auditorium became extremely quiet at this time.

"He showed fearless courage and extraordinary courage. For this, I will also award 150 points to Gryffindor House!"

A loud noise broke out on the field, and the Gryffindor students shouted their voices hoarse while calculating the scores in their minds.

Now Gryffindor's score has risen to 662 points, and it is only 10 points away from the first place Hufflepuff.

Will a miracle happen again?

Dumbledore tapped the cup with the silver spoon again, a crisp ding-dong sound sounded, and the Great Hall fell silent again.

"There are many types of courage," he said with a smile. "To deal with the enemy, we need superhuman courage, and to stand our ground in front of our friends also requires a lot of courage. At the same time, in the face of danger to our partners, we need to be brave without hesitation. Going to the rescue showed an extremely noble character.”

"Therefore, I would like to reward Neville Longbottom with 20 points, Mikel Bain with 20 points, Lin Xia with 15 points, and Draco Malfoy with 15 points!"

After Dumbledore finished speaking, the scores of the Academy Cup changed. The scores of Hufflepuff and Gryffindor became the same value——

702 points!

"Wow!!!"

The screams of the little wizards grew louder and louder, and the entire auditorium was about to be overturned by them!

Dumbledore waved his wand, and the Great Hall was filled with gold and red. It had both a yellow atmosphere and a red heat.

Tonight, the championship belongs to both Hufflepuff and Gryffindor!

Professor McGonagall shook hands with Dean Sprout happily. She waved her wand, and a majestic lion appeared on the Gryffindor table, swaying around, then jumped off the table and appeared in the entire Great Hall. Running around.

Wherever it passed, it left a patch of red shining starlight.

Professor McGonagall nodded slightly to Lin Xia, "Lin Xia, it's your turn."

Lin Xia raised her eyebrows slightly and stretched out her wand to wave. Gradually, a huge and friendly badger also appeared at the Hufflepuff dining table.

The little wizard waved happily to Badger, and Badger, holding a saxophone in his hand, greeted them cordially.

Badger jumped off the dining table, while playing the saxophone and making beautiful music, he sprinkled countless candies in the shape of gold coins from his hands.

"oh!!!"

The little wizards competed to grab the candy that Badger spilled, and were surprised to find that the candy was real and edible!

Ron said happily and excitedly: "Transfiguration can actually reach this point, even real food can be transformed?"

Hermione shook her head seriously: "No, Ron, in "Gamp's Basic Transformation Rules", nothing can be transformed into food. Candy is also a kind of food. Rather than saying that it was transformed by Lin Xia, it is better to say that it is transformed into food. Some kind of deception was used to make the badger sprinkle the real candy."

Badger walked up to Professor McGonagall and Dean Sprout, gave each of them a candy, and then jumped away happily.

Professor McGonagall looked at the candy in her palm in surprise. She naturally recognized that it was real candy.

Dean Sprout asked curiously: "Isn't it true that transfiguration can't produce food? This seems to be true."

Professor McGonagall said slowly: "It is true that food cannot be transformed into food, but these candies are also real. Lin Xia used some transformation skills to let Badger get a lot of real candies in advance. She is really talented. Very imaginative too.”

She turned to look at Sprout, "You really don't want to go to France with me. I feel that Lin Xia is very likely to win the prize this time. She will be even happier if you are here."

Sprout hesitated for a moment, "But my beloved little garden... Well, let me think about it again. Anyway, I still have some time."
