Chapter 75 Year-end Banquet

On the day of the year-end dinner, the auditorium was carefully decorated with Slytherin green and silver colors.

Because the next day was an official holiday, the entire auditorium was filled with excitement and joy.

The Slytherin students were like proud peacocks, raising their heads and chests high, thinking of the Gryffindor students next door showing off their fifth consecutive House Cup.

The atmosphere among Gryffindor students was a bit gloomy. In their opinion, even if Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw won the House Cup, it would be better than Slytherin.

You know, before this year, Slytherin had won the House Cup for four consecutive years. This year is the fifth year. The consecutive wins have made the little wizards of Slytherin even more proud and arrogant. Little wizards who are not liked by others. The wizards are even more annoying. I don’t know how these little snakes will show off next school year. It's strange that Gryffindor students are in a good mood.

Finny, who had already realized this, did not go to the Weasley brothers and George. If he went to them at this time, even if they didn't say anything, the other little lions would inevitably think that he was going to show off.

Compared with the Snake House and the Eagle House, the little badgers of Hufflepuff didn't care. They haven't won the House Cup for many years. They really have no idea about this. After all, they are still annoying and don't like fair competition. Slytherin won the House Cup, which was not something worth celebrating.

Yingyuan is a little sad, they are only five points away, otherwise they would win this year, which is a pity.

In such a weird atmosphere full of excitement, sadness, and pity, Dumbledore hurried over and stood on the platform in front of the auditorium. He raised his hand to signal everyone to keep quiet.

The noisy noise in the auditorium gradually subsided and he left,

"Well, I'm very happy that another year has passed,"

Dumbledore also seemed very excited, perhaps because he could have a holiday without being forced to work by Professor McGonagall.

"Before you enjoy the delicious food, I must ask you to patiently listen to me, an old man, say a few more words. This year has been wonderful, and the attention and thoughts in your minds must be richer than in the past year. , you will also try some ideas during the following holidays, which is good, but I still need to remind everyone that the Ministry of Magic does not allow underage wizards to use magic alone outside of school. However, I still hope that you can do it next year. Before you start, digest the things in your brain and make some space to prepare for what’s next.”

"Now, we should start the award ceremony of the Academy Cup. The specific scores of each academy are as follows, the fourth place Hufflepuff, two hundred and fifty points, the third place Gryffindor, three hundred and ninety-five points, the third place Second place, Ravenclaw, with 439 points, and our first place, Slytherin, with 444 points. Let us congratulate Slytherin House for winning this year's House Cup,"

As Dumbledore's voice fell, a thunderous cheer and stamping of feet erupted from the Slytherin table. Even though the matter was already clear, the little wizards still heard Dumbledore's announcement. very excited.

Feeney frowned when some Slytherin students banged their goblets on the table. This behavior caused a lot of the orange juice in his glass to spill out.

However, in the auditorium, except for the excited celebration of Slytherin students, the applause from other houses could be said to be pitiful, which shows how annoying this house is now.

Although Snape still had a rigid cold face, Finny noticed that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

He was talking to Professor McGonagall, who had a somewhat stiff face. Looking at Professor McGonagall's face that wanted to curse, Finny suddenly wondered if the reason why Slytherin's little wizard was so annoying was because of their Dean Sneakers. Why is Puya so annoying?

"Yes, Slytherin is doing well, but everyone should be quiet,"

The auditorium became very quiet, and the smiles of the Slytherin snakes also faded a lot.

"Well, the Ministry of Magic doesn't want me to tell you these things, but since you are here and there are people who have experienced some things personally, I still think it is necessary to let you know what we are about to face now,"

"Yes, yes, my Mr. Phineas Black was kidnapped by vampires not long ago. However, fortunately, he returned safely and brought us some very useful news. According to this news, we inferred that There is shocking news. The vampire clan may have betrayed the wizards. They may attack the wizards at any time. Therefore, I hope you will not go out alone without your parents during the next holidays. , don’t go to alleys and other places with many dark creatures. You must know that although the bites of vampires will not necessarily lead to transformation like werewolves, there is still a chance that the little wizard will become a vampire."

Dumbledore's words caused a strange silence to fill the auditorium at this time.

As mentioned before, vampires are not looked down upon by wizards, not only in the eyes of adult wizards. Many young wizards also completely look down on such dark creatures because of their parents. In their impression, This kind of creature can only live in the dark corners of the corner, barely surviving with a hungry meal.

Now, someone told them that the vampires were going to betray the wizards, and they would wage war against the wizards, and they had the strength to do so.

This was an absolute joke in the eyes of the wizards, and they would not take it seriously at all. However, it happened that the person who said this was Dumbledore, the greatest white wizard.

Dumbledore, who was so powerful that the mysterious man did not dare to provoke him ten years ago, said something that made the young wizards believe it. Moreover, when he said this, the professors looked very bad, but they did not refute it. So, this is the fact.

The magic world is still not peaceful now.

If Finny knew that the young wizards around him thought this way, he would definitely tell them with a sneer that the magic world has never been peaceful.

The delicious food at the dinner was very rich, but the young wizards did not have the same excited atmosphere as before, and the weirdness still spread throughout the auditorium.

For this, Professor McGonagall still complained about why Dumbledore told the news.
