Chapter 111: Dumbledore's crooked nose
Chapter 111 Dumbledore’s crooked nose
Olen's story spread quickly in the magical world.
The Daily Prophet described him as an extremely evil and crazy dark wizard, and devoted an entire page to publishing his wanted notice.
The rest of the page was devoted to praising the Ministry of Magic for its heroic performance in successfully rescuing two students during this operation.
Although basically few people will read these contents.
Many parents have written to the school asking for early leave.
What if Oren is still hiding in the Forbidden Forest? They are not worried about letting the child stay there.
Dumbledore also agreed. Students can take the Hogwarts Express home early that day, and their report cards will be delivered by owl in the next few days.
In just one day, Hogwarts lost one-third of its people, and the castle seemed empty.
But Kyle did not leave, and neither did Cedric and the others.
Chris is back. He came to Hogwarts covered in dust, pulled Kyle up and down and checked it several times before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he took Kyle to an empty classroom with no one around and said with a straight face: "Didn't I tell you not to care about this matter?"
"This was an accident." Kyle said honestly: "I will pay attention to it next time."
Faced with Kyle's answer, Chris was obviously not satisfied and scolded him for a long time.
Throughout the whole process, Kyle didn’t defend himself, he just nodded, and his attitude of admitting his mistake was very good.
When the two left the classroom, Newt happened to come out of Dumbledore's office. When the two left, Chris asked him if he wanted to go back together.
However, Kyle refused because he wanted to take the train back with his friends. Chris thought about it and stopped insisting.
But what Kyle didn’t expect was that Diana actually came the next day.
But unlike Chris, she first went to the Forbidden Forest, and then went straight to the principal's office on the eighth floor.
No one knows what happened after that, but during this period, many students noticed that there were some strange faces in the portraits in the corridors of the castle, and they also claimed to be the previous principals of Hogwarts.
In addition, the gargoyle on the eighth floor is also missing.
…
Kyle didn't know when Diana left.
That night, he and Cedric went to the year-end banquet together. The auditorium was divided into two parts. The left side was decorated with green and silver representing Slytherin, and the right side was decorated with yellow and black representing Hufflepuff.
It is worth mentioning that Oren’s bonus points in the Forbidden Forest are actually effective.
Coupled with the Quidditch champion...Hufflepuff's house points are exactly the same as Slytherin, tied for first place.
The two walked to the Hufflepuff table and sat down. Kyle noticed that Connor still hadn't come today.
After a while, Dumbledore also came. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Kyle always felt that his nose was more crooked than before.
The noise in the auditorium gradually subsided.
“Another year has passed!” said Dumbledore cheerfully. “Before you enjoy these delicacies, I must trouble you all to listen to an old man’s cliché.
Although there were some hiccups at the end, it is undeniable that this is still a wonderful year, and your little minds must be richer than before... You have a whole summer to digest this. , before the start of the next semester, clear your mind..." "Now, let's carry out the Academy Cup award ceremony. The specific scores of each college are as follows:
Fourth place, Gryffindor, 101 points; third place, Ravenclaw, 332 points; Slytherin, 497 points; Hufflepuff, 490 points Seventeen points. "
The expected cheers did not come. Hufflepuff and Slytherin both stared at each other, a little unconvinced by the result.
There is only one College Cup, so it is impossible to give it to two colleges at the same time!
The people from the remaining two colleges were quietly eating melon and watching the show.
"Yes, both colleges are doing well." Dumbledore cleared his throat and said, "But one thing that happened recently must also be taken into account. Mr. Kelchowba..."
Everyone’s eyes turned to Kyle.
“He not only saved a new student in the Forbidden Forest, but also found the dark wizard hidden in the school, showing fearless courage and extraordinary courage.
For this reason, I decided to award him the Special Contribution Award to the school and award Hufflepuff 200 points! "
Although the number of people participating in the banquet was much smaller than before, the cheers were still deafening. If someone was standing outside the auditorium at this moment, they might think there was an explosion.
There is no need to calculate any scores anymore. Hufflepuff successfully prevented Slytherin from winning six consecutive championships and won the Academy Cup!
In addition, the most important thing is the special contribution award to the school.
Fred and George stood on the stools excitedly and shouted to Kyle: "Don't worry Kyle, we will definitely clean your trophy carefully when you are in solitary confinement again!"
“And it’s cleaner than everyone else’s…”
Professor McGonagall glanced at them coldly and suddenly felt tired.
"This means..." shouted Dumbledore, "that we need to make some minor changes to the decor."
He clapped his hands, and the green hanging ribbons turned to yellow, the silver to black, and a huge banner with a Hufflepuff badger painted on the wall behind the guest of honor seat.
Snape was shaking hands with Professor Sprout. His face was calm and he naturally showed a signature smile. He didn't seem to be angry at all.
Before leaving school, the test results also came out.
Kyle became the first in his grade with a very high score.
Cedric looked at Kyle's report card and said in surprise: "Merlin, your score is much higher than mine last year, and it's only one point away. You have a perfect score, but it's a pity..."
Kyle also felt a little regretful.
He was writing smoothly during the exam, but he didn't notice the twelve uses of fire dragon blood, so he wrote it down as thirteen, and then he was deducted one point.
It seems that the professors do not think that fire dragon blood can be used as an ingredient in cooking.
Except for this small flaw, his scores in all other subjects were perfect, including potion brewing.
Snape gave his boil potion a perfect score, which is a treatment that even Slytherin students rarely get.
Connor was ranked second in the grade, plus Cedric, who was ranked first in the second grade... This year's Hufflepuff can be said to have shown its face hard.
Professor Sprout didn't even go to the greenhouse, and just hung around in front of other professors.
