The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

"Have you heard? Harry and the others went to the right corridor on the fourth floor last night. It's the corridor where Dumbledore said he would be seriously injured and die!"

"Ah? Then wouldn't they..."

"That's not true. They are still alive and well now. But it is said that there is a treasure hidden in the innermost room of that corridor! Harry and the others went in to stop the dark wizard from stealing that thing!"

"Then he was so successful?"

"Of course! He is the savior! I heard the youngest son of the Weasley family said that they beat the dark wizard into ashes!"

……

Listening to the discussions of the classmates around him, Link had a very strange expression on his face.

He never imagined that Dumbledore would be so persistent in his plan.

Even though Quirrell, the main villain in the original plot, was already dead, another 'dark wizard' had to be forced out so that Harry and the others could smoothly carry out this 'Boys and Girls Go Ahead' program.

Shaking his head speechlessly, Link followed the large group into the auditorium.

At this moment, the auditorium has changed from the usual simplicity to a magnificent appearance.

Countless candles floated in the air, reflecting the transparent magic ceiling above the auditorium, which was beautiful.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the massive blue Ravenclaw flags in the auditorium. Together, they almost turn the auditorium into a blue ocean.

This is the reward given to the eventual winner of the Academy Cup.

Ravenclaw House relied on its own excellent strength to take the first place in the house points by overtaking Gryffindor and Slytherin at the end of the semester.

In second place is Hufflepuff. Thanks to the efforts of Cedric and the others, the Quidditch champion has added a lot of points to Hufflepuff.

Slytherin and Gryffindor ranked third and fourth respectively.

The Hufflepuffs were extremely happy about this. Although they failed to win the Academy Cup, they finally no longer had to be at the bottom.

This was enough to satisfy all Hufflepuffs.

To be honest, although Slytherin House was deprived of the House Cup that they had won for 6 consecutive years, their current state is not bad.

After all, there is Gryffindor, the bottom one, below them.

The one who really suffered was Gryffindor.

This group of proud lions not only lost to the poisonous snakes and eagles, but also lost to the little badgers, which they could not accept under any circumstances.

As for Ravenclaw.

Then it goes without saying.

At this moment, they were all so excited that they jumped on the table and danced.

Just looking at their excited expressions, Link sighed.

Because he is very clear.

Dumbledore would never sit back and watch Gryffindor being at the bottom.

Since he was forcing the plot to arrange for Harry and the others to go on an adventure, it was only natural that he would add points to Gryffindor at the last moment just like in the original book.

Shaking his head, Link sat down with Cedric and others.

But at this moment, the originally bustling auditorium suddenly fell into silence.

Link looked behind him instinctively, and saw Harry, Hermione and a group of three people slowly walking from the hall.

They looked a little embarrassed, and Hermione was so ashamed that she almost went underground.

After they took their seats, the entire auditorium returned to normal.

Then, Dumbledore arrived.

He went straight to the podium from the back door of the auditorium and stared at the students below for a long time. It was not until they all quieted down that he spoke:

"Another year has passed. Before enjoying the delicious food, I must trouble everyone to listen to an old man's cliché..."

On the podium, Dumbledore kept talking.

The Hufflepuffs around Link were all talking.

Because that's not Dumbledore's style, he's never been like this before.

Most of the other houses had similar scenes, and only Ravenclaw listened with interest.

This is normal, they are waiting for Dumbledore to declare them the winners of the House Cup!

Dumbledore did not keep them waiting for too long. After a few minutes, Dumbledore focused his attention on the Ravenclaw flags in the auditorium, and then said with a smile:

"Regarding the House Cup, Ravenclaw is currently ranked first with a high score of 493. But before we can actually announce the winner, we still have a few things to calculate."

As soon as these words came out, Ravenclaw's originally excited expression froze in an instant.

Dumbledore smiled at Harry and the others and said:

"Everyone knows, right? Harry and his classmates protected the Philosopher's Stone that my best friend kept with me last night. And to reward them, I hereby decide, Ron Weasley, 50 points. Hermione G Ranger, 50 points. Harry Potter, 70 points. Finally, Neville Longbottom, your courage earns you 10 points!"

There was suddenly an eerie silence in the auditorium.

Everyone sat frozen in their seats as if they were under a petrifying spell.

But soon, deafening cheers rang out from the Gryffindor table.

Every Gryffindor cheered heartily, and in the end, they even started shouting Harry Potter's name in unison.

Because, after Dumbledore gave so many extra points, Gryffindor's score instantly changed from last to first!

"Then, I think the decoration here needs to be changed."

Dumbledore smiled and waved his finger, and then all the flags in the auditorium changed colors, and the giant eagle pattern on them was directly replaced by a lion.

Under the reflection of those candlelights and flags, the entire auditorium turned into a sea of ​​golden and red.

"This is not fair!"

Many people were protesting loudly on the long table in Ravenclaw.

There are also many Slytherins who do the same. When it comes to dealing with Gryffindor, it is very rare for vipers and eagles to stand together.

It's a pity that Dumbledore didn't seem to pay attention to them, and directly announced the start of the dinner.

A large amount of delicious food immediately appeared on the long table in front of everyone.

The Hufflepuffs beside Link immediately started to cook with smiles.

For the Little Badgers, they had never counted on the Academy Cup from the beginning, and they were not interested in the current dispute in the auditorium.

Rather than getting involved in all this trouble, it would be better to enjoy the meal!

Link did not join the cooking team like his classmates. He stared at Dumbledore who had slowly returned to the staff seat, but he felt quite emotional in his heart.

He knew very well that Dumbledore did this to cultivate Harry's confidence and love for Hogwarts.

However, this approach also provokes conflicts between various colleges.

Not to mention Slytherin, they have been mortal enemies with Gryffindor from the beginning.

But Ravenclaw is different.

You must know that they were in a neutral position like Hufflepuff at the beginning.

And in terms of true strength, they are no worse than Slytherin.

Is it really good to do this?

Link sighed heavily, and at this moment, Dumbledore on the staff seat seemed to notice Link's gaze. He turned his head and smiled meaningfully at Link.
