HP Dawn Night

Chapter 30 Academy Cup

But that's not how it looks at me and Draco...

"Look, that's Violet Snape, her mother is Miss Watson, and her father is... Head Slytherin. The one next to her is Draco Malfoy. I heard that the Malfoy family is rich and powerful. They seem to be in trouble lately, though." - Hufflepuffs.

"This is the two top Slytherin students? I heard that their potions are better than the other. They should really be in Ravenclaw! Ah, no, I heard that they have violated dozens of school rules recently? Slater Will Lin cause trouble too?" - Ravenclaws.

"I thought only Gryffindor would be unlucky. Didn't I expect the old bat to be so cruel to his daughter and godson? Hey, what happened to them?" - Gryffindors.

"The Headmaster is too ruthless..." - Slytherins.

Under tremendous pressure, I stubbornly pretended not to look sideways, walked to the long table with an aristocratic expression and sat down.

"That's terrible." I said dejectedly.Although Draco looked arrogant and proud in front of him, his pained expression at this moment could not be better to show that he regretted not giving himself a dozen beauty charms.

However, when Harry Potter walked in, there was a sudden silence in the Great Hall, and then suddenly no one started talking loudly again.He walked over to the long Gryffindor table and sat between two of his best friends, while almost everyone around him stood up and stared at him.

"Sometimes being a celebrity can be a hassle, with people staring at you like monsters all the time," Pansy said sympathetically.

Fortunately, after a while, Dumbledore also arrived, and the noise in the auditorium gradually subsided.

"It's another year!" he said cheerfully. "Before we indulge in these delicious dishes, I must trouble everyone to listen to an old man's cliché. What a year it has been! There must be more than one in your little brains." The past is a little richer...the whole summer vacation is waiting for you, so that you can digest those things well before the next semester starts, and free up your mind..."

"Come on, let's announce the Academy Cup winner." Draco said beamingly.

"Now, as far as I know, we must first conduct the awarding ceremony of the House Cup. The specific points for each house are as follows. No.4, Gryffindor, 310 two points; No.3, Hufflepuff, 350 two points; No.2, Ravenclaw, 420 six points; No.1, Slytherin, 470 two points."

Slytherin has won the House Cup for seven consecutive years, and everyone is no longer jumping up and down excitedly.Even so, thunderous cheers and stomping erupted from the Slytherin table.

Draco joined in the boys' cheers, while Pansy and I shared a big hug.I saw my father on the teacher's table also showing a subtle smile.

"Yeah, yeah, well done," said Dumbledore. "However, a few recent events have to be counted."

The auditorium became very quiet, and the smiles of the Slytherins subsided a little.

"I hope he's not..." I said through gritted teeth, staring at Dumbledore.

"Bring up the trapdoor!" Draco looked a little sour, and I bet he and I wanted to go together.

"Uh, uh," Dumbledore cleared his throat, and Pansy grabbed my hand anxiously, "I still have some last points to allocate, let me see, yes..."

"Item one - Mr. Ron Weasley..."

Draco's face turned green all of a sudden, Pansy grabbed my hand tightly, and Blaise frowned slightly.Ron Weasley's face flushed like a sun-dried carrot.

"...he won the best game of chess at Hogwarts in many years, for which I award Gryffindor House fifty points."

The cheers of the Gryffindors almost knocked down the enchanted ceiling, and the stars above their heads seemed to tremble slightly.Prefect Percy Weasley could be heard yelling something.Contrast that with the boos and whispered curses of the Slytherins.

"The second item—Miss Hermione Granger, she faced the fire and calmly reasoned logically. I want to reward Gryffindor House with fifty points!"

The Slytherin chatter was louder now, and discontent was brewing.And the Gryffindors were ecstatic, jumping up and down, celebrating their jump of a full hundred points.

"Third - Harry Potter," said Dumbledore, and Draco and I exchanged glances as the Great Hall fell silent.Although we don't know exactly what happened to Potter in the final room, we haven't forgotten that he and his friends once suspected that their father was trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone.

He also said that he was with the mysterious man!

"He has shown audacity and courage. For this, I would like to award Gryffindor House sixty points!"

The scores of Gryffindor and Slytherin are exactly the same now, if Dumbledore adds one more point... The expressions of the Slytherins are extremely solemn, and the father also put on the same expressionless face as always.

"There are many types of courage." Dumbledore smiled, and the auditorium gradually became quiet. "We need superhuman courage to deal with our enemies, but we also need a lot of courage to stand our ground in front of friends. Therefore, I want to Ten points to Mr Neville Longbottom!"

If someone were standing outside the auditorium at this moment, they might think that there was an explosion here.There was a wave of cheers at the Gryffindor table.Neville Longbottom was astonished - he had never scored a point for the House!

The atmosphere in Slytherin was miserable.Everyone's previous joy was gone.Is this Dumbledore's eccentricity?Potter and the others clearly violated so many school rules!

Even the other houses were applauding Gryffindor's success and Slytherin's failure.I lowered my eyes sadly and didn't meet anyone's eyes. Is Slytherin so unpopular?

Pansy and I held each other's hands tightly, and I think we felt exactly the same at this moment.

"I still have some final points to settle." Dumbledore raised a hand, and the auditorium gradually fell silent.

"There are many choices, and sometimes it takes more composure and determination to stick to one's choice under pressure. Therefore, I would like to add ten points to Miss Violet Snape!"

I looked up in surprise, the Slytherins were screaming and whistling like crazy.Pansy threw herself on me and gave me two passionate kisses:

"Well done, Vio!"

In the midst of a merry uproar, Dumbledore exclaimed: "Finally, Mr. Draco Malfoy showed a double friendship with Slytherin and Gryffindor in the underground room. For this, I give Slater Lin plus ten points!"

"Friendship? Who has friendship with Gryffindor?" Draco said dissatisfied amid the cheers, "Only ten points? But he added so many points to the Gryffindor Triangle!"

"Ah, Draco, don't mind the little things!" I told him, "We won the House Cup again!"

"And, Draco, my friend, you should definitely focus on 'friendship with Slytherin'!" Blaise called to Draco, "You should be proud of the fact that you gave Slytherin Plus the crucial ten!"

I looked up at the teacher's table, and my father was looking at Slytherin, with a satisfied smile on his face.I waved to him, and I was pretty sure he smiled back at me too.

What a night it was.
