Chapter 52 What is delayed justice called?

The dinner begins and all the young wizards from the four major academies gather in the auditorium!

"Before the dinner begins, another school year has come to an end! Now it's time to award the house cup! The scores of each house are as follows: fourth place Gryffindor with a total score of 312 points, third place, Hufflepuff with a total score of 352 points, second place is Ravenclaw with a total score of 426 points, and the top of the list is Slytherin with a total score of 472 points!"

Rowling's eyes slowly swept across the long table belonging to Slytherin College below the stage. In an instant, it seemed as if an invisible whirlwind swept past, followed by thunderous shouts! The sound was like surging waves, one higher than the other, shaking people's eardrums.

At the same time, Professor Snape, who was sitting next to him, kept clapping his hands. Draco, who was standing not far away, raised his chin proudly, with a faint smile on his lips and an undisguised smugness in his eyes. He would look at Harry Potter from time to time, as if he was silently provoking him.

Looking at Harry Potter on the other side, his face was full of regret and loss, and his originally bright eyes became dull. He bit his lips tightly, trying to control his inner emotional fluctuations, but he still couldn't hide his deep frustration.

In comparison, Ron's face looked extremely ugly, as if he had just eaten a pile of shit, which made people feel pity for him; as for Hermione, she still maintained her usual calm and composure, but her beautiful face seemed a little stiff at the moment, without any expression.

Seeing this, Rowling secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Hehe, a good show is about to begin! Just wait and see, this slap in the face is really loud! Hahaha..." However, at this moment, Dumbledore suddenly changed the subject: "Well done, Slytherin House! Your performance this year is indeed worthy of praise. However... the series of events that have occurred recently cannot be ignored either. We must take them into consideration."

Before he finished speaking, Professor Snape turned his head slightly, with a look of doubt on his face. Obviously, he was quite puzzled by Dumbledore's sudden remarks. At the same time, the audience suddenly exploded, and the students whispered and discussed, and the whole hall was instantly drowned in the noise.

"Now, I have some valuable marks to hand out. First, let's turn our attention to Miss Hermione Granger. She used her intelligence and wisdom to help others when they were in desperate situations.

She cleverly turned danger into safety. Her calmness and wit in the face of danger are truly admirable. Therefore, I decided to give her a reward of 50 points!" Headmaster Dumbledore's loud voice echoed in the hall.

Then, Headmaster Dumbledore continued to announce: "Next, the second award will be given to Mr. Ron Weasley. In that thrilling wizard chess game, he showed extraordinary skills and outstanding strategic mind.

He defeated a strong opponent with superb skills. For this, I have to give him 50 points! "At this time, thunderous applause rang out again in the audience, and the students cast envious and congratulatory eyes on Ron.

The crowd below the stage burst into warm applause, especially Percy, who was sitting in the front row. He was so excited that his face turned red. He tightly grasped the arm of the person next to him and said proudly: "Look, that's my brother, my real brother!" It seemed that this honor belonged not only to Ron, but also to the entire Weasley family.

However, the surprise did not end there. Headmaster Dumbledore looked at the slightly shy Harry Potter with a smile on his face. "And, dear Harry Potter,

The fearless courage and extraordinary courage he showed deeply moved the hearts of each of us. Therefore, I would like to give Gryffindor 60 points!" Before he finished speaking, cheers surged like a tide, and the whole hall was submerged in joy.

Hermione Granger jumped up excitedly, her eyes shining with joy, and shouted, "Great! Now we're tied with Slytherin!" Her voice was full of pride and pride, as if she had seen the dawn of victory.

Just as everyone was immersed in joy, Headmaster Dumbledore spoke again: "Finally, I would like to mention Mr. Neville Longbottom in particular. It takes great courage to be able to firmly defend your principles and resist with all your strength when facing the enemy;

But when facing friends, you can still stick to the bottom line and not follow the crowd, which requires more valuable qualities and greater courage. Based on this, I decided to add another 10 points to Mr. Neville Longbottom! "

At that moment, as if time had frozen, everyone's eyes were all focused on Neville like a spotlight. His face, which had already turned red with excitement, was now as hot as if it had been roasted by fire.

He was absolutely stunned! In the whole year, he had never won a single point for Gryffindor! When he thought of this, his heart felt like being hit hard by a heavy hammer.

He couldn't help but think of his grandmother who was far away at home. If she knew the news, she would definitely be very proud! And his parents who were being treated at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magic, how happy would they be if they knew that he had won 10 points for Gryffindor?

Whenever Neville went to visit them, even though they could not recognize their son, his mother would always kindly hand him a candy wrapped in colorful wrapping paper. Even though the walls of their home were already covered with colorful candies, the warmth and love had not diminished at all.

At this moment, Neville Longbottom's heart was a mess, with all kinds of complicated emotions intertwined together, and he was immersed in self-intoxication.

Draco's expression now is even worse than Ron's before. He must have eaten two piles of shit!

Rowling thought awkwardly, "This Dumbledore is really interesting. In this case, the key to winning the House Cup is actually Neville Longbottom, one of the two children of prophecy. Is this another way of expressing his guilt towards Neville's parents? Neville Longbottom's parents were members of the Order of the Phoenix. Maybe they are not following the White Devil who defeated Grindelwald, but the justice in their hearts!"

"If my calculations are correct, I think the decorations here need to be changed! Gryffindor wins the house cup," Dumbledore said, and changed the green decorations here to fiery red! He also winked in Rowling's direction!

Well, it was Rowling who got fed up now. "The way Dumbledore was calculating all the time still made Rowling feel inexplicably resistant, even though some people might say that Dumbledore was just trying to make up for the regret in his heart! Justice delayed was never justice for Rowling, but arrogance about being able to control other people's lives!

Imagine that for the Dursley family who raised Harry Potter for eleven years, they never had to go hungry during these long years, right? After all, they sent Harry Potter to school! Even if he didn't become a wizard in the end, at least he had the opportunity to change his destiny, right?

However, Dumbledore, who controlled the huge wealth of the Potter family, did not even pay a little bit of child support. At that time, Harry Potter was simply an ungrateful person! All they got was Harry's indifferent response: "I never regarded it as my real home." Perhaps Harry is thinking the same thing now.

It should be noted that Harry's aunt actually knew the cruel truth behind Lily's death! When Dumbledore dropped Harry off at her doorstep, he left a letter. In such a dangerous environment - an evil wizard and his many followers were eyeing him covetously - this aunt was willing to accept Harry, the son of her sister whom she had hated since childhood and had not had any contact with for more than ten years...

Are you training Neville again now? How annoying!

Luo Lin responded with a faint smile. He had to be timid when he needed to!

Rowling noticed that Professor Snape looked gloomy, and he seemed to be dissatisfied with Dumbledore's decision. However, in this joyful atmosphere, no one cared about Snape's expression.

The Gryffindor students cheered and celebrated the hard-earned house cup. They hugged each other with happy smiles on their faces.

On the other hand, over in Slytherin, Draco sat in his seat with an unwilling look on his face, glaring at Harry fiercely.

At this time, Dumbledore stood up and motioned for everyone to be quiet. He raised his wand and waved it gently, and the whole hall was suddenly illuminated by shining light.

"Let us celebrate this wonderful moment together!" Dumbledore's voice echoed in the hall. "I hope that next year, each college will have an even better performance!"

As the music sounded, the dinner officially began and the students enjoyed the food and fun.
