Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 98 Year-end Banquet and College Cup
A week flies by, tonight is the year-end banquet, the end of the school year, it is reasonable to hold a banquet.

The House Cup will also be awarded at this banquet. The House Cup is an annual award at Hogwarts. At the end of each school year, the House Cup will be awarded to the house with the highest house score.

And this year, the house with the highest house score is Slytherin.

That's right, this year's House Cup still belongs to Slytherin. Although Ravenclaw has Connor, what Ravenclaw lacks most is students with good grades. for whom.

The composition of college points is relatively complicated. In addition to the bonus points and deductions for professors and prefects, there are also bonus points for various college group activities, such as Quidditch, Quidditch, and Quidditch competitions.

This year's Quidditch champion is Slytherin again, so it makes sense that they won the House Cup.

But Connor was a little depressed. He was afraid that he was not a fake protagonist, and the academy he was in didn't win the Academy Cup!What a shame!It's obvious that I have worked so hard to get Slytherin.
康纳早上在学院分沙漏上看到的各学院的分数是：No.1，斯莱特林460九分；No.2，拉文克劳450五分；No.3格兰芬多420二分；No.4赫奇帕奇410分。

Slytherins are extremely persistent in winning the Academy Cup. They are eager for honor, pursue honor, and are quite united, even though Connor's various tricks make them internally divided. But they never fight among themselves when they take Academy points .

For example, on the Quidditch pitch, even if the trolls have a bad relationship with the handsome Slytherins, they will not disgust their teammates in the game.

Moreover, the troll is also very insidious, often tripping up students from other colleges, causing them to be deducted points by Snape, and Connor looked down on them very much.

As for Ravenclaw, they don’t pay much attention to the Academy Cup (Connor also thinks so on this point), they belong to the kind of people who get the best, and it doesn’t matter if they don’t get it. Most Ravenclaw students put Focusing on themselves, they will not deduct points that should not be deducted, but they will not actively strive for more points.

Many Ravenclaw top students belong to the kind who know the answers to the teacher's questions, but just don't want to raise their hands to answer the questions.

Gryffindors also value the House Cup, but what about them? There are too many insiders. For example, a certain twin, they deducted more than 30 points from Gryffindor this semester. Every time Connor sees Percy green You can tell that those two must have deducted points again.

Gryffindor said they really tried their best.

As for Hufflepuff, it is simply because there are too many people, and the average strength is too average, the points added will never be deducted much, and they have never thought about winning the Academy Cup.

Anyway, I am not No.1, so what does it matter if I deduct more points and less points?
So the result of this score is also reasonable.

Connor opened a lemon, looked at the green and silver decorations hanging in the auditorium, and bit down, um, it was strong enough.

In the auditorium, the expressions of the little wizards at each long table were surprisingly consistent.

The Slytherins were proud, because including this time, Slytherin had won the House Cup for five consecutive years.

The trolls were even more overjoyed, beaming, overjoyed, and ecstatic. The auditorium was full of their wild laughter, for fear that someone would not know that their academy had won the academy cup.

The Ravenclaws had no expression on their faces, they were all quietly being beauties, their faces were indifferent, but their hearts were actually sour.

The Gryffindors smiled and said that even if we lose, we are still very happy, hahaha..hahaha..haha...

The Hufflepuffs... were eating heartlessly.

Connor drank a cup of lemon tea and had a panoramic view of the world.

Soon, Dumbledore came to the front of the stage, and the noise of the auditorium gradually died down.Dumbledore spoke, his voice not loud, but everyone could hear clearly:

"Students! Another year has passed! There have been so many wonderful stories this year, I believe everyone has had a very fulfilling life! I believe you have also learned a lot of new knowledge, and you will not be able to express it even after the final exam. One-ten-thousandth of what you have learned"

(Everyone laughs politely, although Connor doesn't think it's funny.)
"But don't worry, there is still a long vacation waiting for you. You have plenty of time to consolidate the knowledge you have learned. Moreover, I believe you will study harder during the vacation, right?"

"Yes!" (students laughing and shouting)

"But now, we still have to conduct the Academy Cup awards ceremony first. This year, the specific scores of each academy are: No.4, Hufflepuff 410 points; No.3, Gryffindor 422 points; No. 2, Gryffindor 455 points; .1, Ravenclaw 469 points; and No.[-], Slanterin! [-] points!"

The long table of Slytherin burst into thunderous cheers, and Connor saw the two trolls hugging each other, like the love of two dinosaurs.

The students from the other three colleges were also very respectful, clapping with stiff faces.

At this time, Dumbledore raised his hand, it was one hand, he coughed twice, and said, "Everyone has worked hard, but finally I have something to say."

Connor's eyes lit up suddenly!Could it be that! ! !Is my protagonist's gift bag finally arriving! ?Is Dumbledore going to give me extra points for cheating! ?Come, come, give me fifty points first!

But it turned out that Connor thought too much, and Dumbledore didn't talk about the extra points. He said, "I regret to tell you that next semester, our Professor Nott will not be able to continue to accompany you."

"Huh? Is Professor Nott leaving too?"

"It's over, the curse of this position cannot escape."

"Ah, I really like what Professor Knott said."

The little wizards whispered among themselves, but most of them didn't feel any surprises, maybe... they got used to it.

Dumbledore clapped his hands, and when the auditorium became quiet, he said: "I know everyone is very reluctant to part with Professor Nott, but life is always like this, full of various encounters and partings. Although it is very helpless, we always to accept..."

"Now I invite Professor Nott to say a few words for everyone."

The little wizards applauded vigorously, all of which recognized Professor Nott.

Professor Nott walked to the front of the stage, nodded to the young wizards of various colleges, and said:
"I am very happy to be able to accompany you through this year."

"Actually... I haven't been back here for 17 years since I graduated from Hogwarts at the age of 40, so when I returned to Hogwarts a year ago, I was very excited."

"Especially seeing your young and energetic faces, I seem to see my young self again." Professor Nott smiled and said, "Hogwarts has carried all my youth."

"Actually, I feel very lucky to be able to stand up and hand over the resignation letter to Principal Dumbledore. After all, as far as I know, your last professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts is still lying in St. Mungo's Hospital."

The little wizards in the senior grades all laughed, especially the sixth and seventh graders.

It was only then that Connor learned that the last professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts had resigned in August last year because of pregnancy. He heard that the child's father was a senior who had just graduated.

Counting the days, the professor's child should have just been born recently. I didn't expect Professor Nott to even know this.

Professor Nott waited for the auditorium to be quiet before continuing: "I have learned a lot from the year I spent with my classmates. Yes, not only you have learned a lot from me, but I have also learned a lot from you. thing."

Connor felt Professor Nott look at him.

"Slytherin students are united and alert. In fact, I have always thought that students from Slytherin are very suitable to be Aurors... Ravenclaw students are always full of wisdom in dealing with people, so I hate the students in the Ministry of Magic. Those leaders..."

Professor Nott said to the two tables on the right, and finally made an expression of sticking out his tongue, making the little wizards at the two tables here laugh, and then Professor Nott turned his head to the other side:
"Hufflepuff classmates are always full of patience in doing things. My former instructor was also a Hufflepuff. Without his serious and responsible teaching, I might not be able to be an Auror, so..." Professor Nott used a Covering his mouth with one hand, he pretended to say secretly, "I secretly deducted a lot of points from you."

The Hufflepuff classmates also laughed.

"As for Gryffindor, oh, you know, I'm a Slytherin, I can't speak well for you, I can't betray my house."

Now the students in the entire auditorium laughed, with tears in their laughter.

The little wizards all recalled that this approachable professor treated each of them equally and taught them carefully, but now he is leaving them.

Professor Nott smiled, and when the auditorium became quiet again, he said with emotion: "You are all good boys. I can tell that no matter which college you come from, you are essentially excellent children."

"But I just saw that when the headmaster announced that Slytherin had won the house cup, you all didn't seem very happy."

All the little wizards fell silent. No professor would tell them about this when presenting awards before. Connor also looked at Professor Nott strangely, not knowing what he wanted to do.

"Actually, there is no barrier between colleges and colleges. I am a Slytherin, but my best friend is actually a Gryffindor."

There was noise from the Gryffindor table, but Connor noticed that Professor Nott looked at him again.

Professor Nott glanced at the little wizards, and said:
"Life is always moving forward. I will leave you soon and start my new journey. Here, I hope I can teach you something at the end..."

"You are still very young, an age full of infinite possibilities. You should think more and try more. Don't let the rules constrain your thinking, and don't let the tradition become your prejudice."

"Slytherin is not a lair of dark wizards, Ravenclaw is not a nerd who can only read, Hufflepuff is not a cannibal who only likes to eat, and Gryffindor is not a muscular man without a brain."

"Let go of your inherent cognition, in fact, as long as you are willing to take the initiative to get in touch, you will find that Ravenclaw is not indifferent, Hufflepuff is not stupid, Gryffindor likes to reason, Slater Lin is not an evil demon..."

"Go and say hello. Actually, we Slytherins really want to make friends with you. Don't be too shy, Slytherins. It's not shameful to want to make friends."

"Actually, sometimes, you just need a little courage to take the first step."

Seeing that the little wizards were all silent and hesitant to speak, Professor Nott said with a smile: "So, don't blame us Slytherin for taking the house cup, okay? The Slytherin students did a good job! (Noot Professor Thumbs up to Slytherin)"

Now everyone laughed happily again, and the atmosphere in the hall was much more lively than it was at the beginning.

Connor looked at Professor Nott who was standing in front of the stage and smiled happily, as if he saw the cheerful Miss Mandy.

"Youth is always full of hustle and bustle. My youth has died down, but your youth has just begun."

"So please try more, understand more, strive for more, and don't leave regrets for your youth."

Professor Nott rested his chest with one hand and bowed deeply to the students.

"Students, get out of class is over."
