Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Chapter 122 Gamekeeper’s Assistant

Time passed slowly, and the peaceful campus life lasted until before the midterm exam. Lu Ke felt that the courses were becoming heavy.

The biggest pressure should come from Snape and Nico Flamel. These two people seemed to feel that Lu Ke had it too easy before.

And the fact is this, at least Lu Ke knew very well that he did not try his best in the Potions class, and the Charms class and the Transfiguration class were just in a daze in class.

Of course he also wanted to help, but many times, Professor McGonagall would kick Lu Ke out of their magic experiments because they involved dangerous black magic.

Finally in the herbal medicine class, Professor Sputraw began to seriously consider Lu Ke's suggestions on the design of the new greenhouse, and for the first time began to consider using some "radical" magic.

For example, Lu Ke put forward the most dangerous suggestion: total enclosure, lighting with lights, and soilless cultivation.

Then comes the midterm exam.

Lu Ke passed all the exams, and of course most of them were meaningless. For example, the Charms class and Transfiguration class were all excellent by default, just like the final exam of last semester.

Then everything returned to calm.

Slytherin really has a club now, and they meet one afternoon every week. Everyone sits in the common room and discusses something that they feel needs to be discussed.

This is a bit like a salon, but in Lu Ke's opinion, it's more like a child's play house.

But purebloods enjoy these. Johanna Ogulius has an extraordinary talent. She can always change other people's minds.

The current Slytherin will never become Voldemort's Death Eater again, Lu Ke is very sure of this.

As for the gap between the four colleges, this is a problem that requires Lu Ke to spend more time to solve.

The second half of the semester is here, and the weather is gradually getting warmer. Finally, as if suddenly, after class in the afternoon, the little wizards can go to the lawn outside the castle and bask in the sun by the black lake.

Leisurely days always pass quickly.

Just as the final exam was about to begin, they received bad news.

Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Jerry Smith has received his coveted appointment as professor at Ilvermorny School and will not be staying at Hogwarts next school year.

This surprised the little wizards, but it was completely acceptable.

Because they had long heard of the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher's curse, and it seemed that the curse was still taking effect.

Other than that, nothing is different.

The final exam made all the professors and students very nervous. For at least a month, every night when Lu Ke sat at the long table, little wizards would come over to ask him questions, and very few copied his homework.

Then came the breathtaking final exams.

Of course, Lu Ke didn't feel this way at all.

Even when everyone was the most nervous, he never relaxed his attention to Johanna Ogulius.

But Johanna seems to have really given up completely. She is now a model student, and her test scores are probably only slightly worse than Lu Ke's.

And this was probably something she did deliberately.

The extremely stressful time always passes very quickly. After the final exam, the whole of Hogwarts becomes more relaxed.

Then came the time all Slytherins had been waiting for.

Year-end party.

The entire hall was decorated in a Gryffindor theme, with gold and red decorations everywhere, and a huge banner with a huge Gryffindor lion hanging on the wall behind the professors.

This is the first time Slytherin has lost the House Cup after winning it for five consecutive years.

For a long time, because of Snape's principle of never deducting points from Slytherin and the foul tactics of the Quidditch team, Slytherin had a huge advantage in the competition for the Academy Cup.

But too many things happened this year. Snape's principles were not easy to change, but they were greatly affected and he was unable to perform stably.

As for the Quidditch team, there have been many twists and turns, and the sudden emergence of Ravenclaw has caused Slytherin to lose a lot of points.

Of course, Gryffindor won in the end. It can only be said that the snipe and the clam compete with each other and the fishermen benefit.

As soon as he walked into the hall, Lu Ke noticed the final Academy Cup score. Although it was a bit regretful, he didn't care.

Of course, thinking about it in the future, it is estimated that every time Harry scores points in the Academy Cup, giving Gryffindor a chance to win, Lu Ke is still a little regretful.

But Professor McGonagall didn't look excited.

Of course this was a bit strange, but Lu Ke didn't notice it at all.

The first time he saw where the professors were, he noticed Dumbledore standing on the headmaster's seat.

After a long time, the Headmaster of Hogwarts finally returned to his seat.

Students were whispering around the long table.

Some of them were arguing about the results of the House Cup, some were complaining about final exams, some were eating and drinking, and only a few felt that Dumbledore's reappearance was noteworthy.

After all, the headmaster of Hogwarts is Dumbledore, which is taken for granted by the students.

Then the party began.

Dumbledore walked to the speaking seat, and the noise in the hall gradually became quiet.

"About the fact that a young wizard replaced me as the principal of Hogwarts... I must apologize to everyone. In fact, I had to leave temporarily because of something, so I asked him to take over temporarily. Now, my matter has been resolved."

"I think you will forget about this soon, because there are more important things at hand."

"We're going to have the Academy Cup award ceremony."

A thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the Gryffindor table.

Everyone knows that the outcome has been decided.

But Dumbledore spoke.

"But after we discussed it with all the professors, there is one more thing that needs to be taken into account."

Lu Ke glanced at Professor McGonagall in surprise, and then he saw the professor smiling and nodding to him.

Lu Ke sighed helplessly.

At least in his opinion, this was completely unnecessary.

"Mr. Lu Ke..."

There was a restless murmur from the Slytherin table.

"He did an amazing job protecting Hogwarts Castle, so I give Slytherin a fifty."

And then it's over.

Despite this, there was an uncontrollable noise coming from all four long tables.

Because the score difference in this year's Academy Cup was very small, with these fifty points, Slytherin's score has surpassed Ravenclaw and Gryffindor one after another.

In other words, the winner of the Academy Cup is now Slytherin.

Dumbledore smiled: "This means that we need to change the decoration here."

He clapped his hands lightly, and gold and red were replaced by silver and green, and the lions turned into snakes.

So the night ended with Slytherin's cheers.

After that, the final exam results finally came out.

What Lu Ke was most worried about did not happen.

All his courses received distinctions.

Then the students started leaving the school.

But Lu Ke stayed.

Because he had nowhere to go outside of Hogwarts.

And Hagrid strongly urged Dumbledore to let Lu Ke stay to help take care of the Riem cow.

Otherwise, with the terrifying power of this giant beast, not even Hagrid would be able to stop it from going crazy.
