Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 172 The glory belongs to Hufflepuff and Gryffindor!
"Of course I don't want to skewer!"

In the evening, when Hermione, Draco and Lin Xia finally stopped writing papers and went to the banquet hall to have dinner together, Harry asked this question, and Hermione responded like this.

There will be a dinner party at Hogwarts tonight, and all the results will be announced tomorrow. The little wizard can go home after receiving his results.

It was said that Dumbledore would also attend this dinner. Draco and Lin Xia did not come to the Gryffindor table, but went to Hufflepuff.

Hermione answered Harry: "When I was writing the paper tonight, the thoughts in my mind did not cross each other. I knew exactly what this quill wrote and what the other quill wrote."

Having said this, Hermione felt very regretful.

"My thinking can't keep up with Lin Xia's, and even Draco can't keep up. Draco can already use three automatic quills at the same time, and Lin Xia can even use five without tampering with the contents. , but I can’t, I can only use two.”

Harry and Ron looked at each other.

In fact, they thought that Hermione was already outstanding if she could use two.

They can only use one, and tend to write all kinds of nonsense that is not necessary to include in the report.

Lin Xia: "I will probably be very busy this summer. Not only do I have to follow Professor McGonagall to France to participate in the Transfiguration Today's Most Promising Newcomer Award competition, I also plan to go to Romania to visit the Fire Dragon, the wizard there. A lot of invitations were made to me.”

At the Hufflepuff dining table, Lin Xia and Draco were also discussing their upcoming summer vacation arrangements.

Lin Xia smiled meaningfully and said, "You will feel this after you practice for a while."

Isn't it enough to study late every day at school? Do you have to force yourself so much even during holidays? "

Ron's body couldn't help but quietly move away from Hermione, even Harry.

From front to back, she poured several life essences into the egg, with some good and bad effects.

I just want the report to be fuller and not empty, so that the professor can see it and give them a high score.

However, the conversation between the two was as cautious as ever. Before discussing, they cast a confusion spell around them.

Ron looked horrified and whispered to Harry: "What's wrong with her? I just want to play during the holidays, why does she just want to study during the holidays?

Ron shrugged: "Then her hobbies are really terrifying!"

Harry whispered back: "Ron, maybe studying is Hermione's hobby."

Lin Xia said: "During the summer vacation, you should continue to study the heir course, and remember not to forget to practice every day. In the foundation building period, the difficulty of practice will only be higher than that of the bait realm, but the bonus will be higher than that of the bait realm. The environment is even more powerful.”

This summer vacation is longer than the winter vacation. Not only do I want to learn magic spells, I also want to do some research, so that I can publish a paper on my own in the second academic year and win the spot for outstanding students.

Because everyone liked the stories she wrote, she deliberately wrote more plots than before, and the content was much richer. There were many exciting and adventurous plots during the period.

Hermione's chattering voice came to my ears: "During the last winter vacation, I practiced many spells at home, which made my subsequent study career go very smoothly.

Seeing her like this, Draco didn't ask any more questions, but instead asked her about her summer vacation arrangements.

Her second reply to Gemstone Dragon was sent during the exam week.

Draco asked curiously: "Like in what way?"

Although there was no reply from Romania, Lin Xia thought that they would all be interested in that long story.

There is also this automatic quill pen, which is very good at training my mind. I have to practice it until I can use more than 4 of them at the same time..."

It just so happened that during this summer vacation, she could go to Romania and visit the gem dragon just by the way. The main reason was to see if she could find a way to resurrect the cyan egg.

The cyan egg was completely absorbed, but it didn't come back to life. It still looked the same. I don't know whether it was because the energy was not enough for it to recover, or because it was missing some important opportunity.

I'm afraid this matter has to be left to professionals to resolve.

Draco said enviously: "It's great to go to France and Romania again. I really want to study abroad."

Lin Xia: "Believe it or not, after you complete the heir course, your father will let you run around whenever you have free time."

Draco couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.

Don’t you have to run around?

The Malfoy family has a great business and has many connections that need to be maintained. If he, the orthodox heir, doesn't run away, does his father have to run away himself?

As he grew older, he found that he had more and more troubles and could no longer do as he pleased before.

"So Harry, Ron and I were both in a coma, and you had been hospitalized before. We didn't ask you about it at that time. What happened in the end?"

At the Gryffindor table, Hermione asked about Harry.

Ron also nodded and asked in a low voice: "I heard the story they told, Professor Quirrell, a guy with ulterior motives, died, but the magic stone that can make people immortal was also destroyed. Is this true?"

Harry hesitated and nodded: "Quirrell is dead. As for the Sorcerer's Stone, I don't know much about it. They should have been destroyed."

Ron was very regretful: "That's the magic stone, which can make people immortal. If it is destroyed, will Nico Flamel also die?"

He is a great alchemist who has lived for several centuries. Without his existence, many inventions in the wizarding world would probably have to stop. "

Hermione had a different opinion: "No, Ron, there is not only one Master Nico in the wizarding world. Since Dumbledore became the Minister of Magic, he has introduced many policies to vigorously support wizards in research and invention.

In the past few years, many academic and inventive achievements have appeared, making the wizarding world more prosperous. I admit that Master Nico is great, but if you want to say that he alone supports the entire wizarding academic world, I don't think so. "

Seeing that Ron and Hermione were about to quarrel, Harry immediately said: "Master Nico will not die so soon."

"The principal told me that when Master Nico gave him the Magic Stone, he had already reserved enough elixir to take care of everything, plus."

Harry paused, "The headmaster told me that for people with a clear mind, death is just another great adventure, and the Philosopher's Stone is not actually such a wonderful thing.

With it, no matter how much wealth you want or how long you want to live, you can get it. These two things are what human beings want most - but the problem is that human beings like to choose things that are least beneficial to them. "

Ron looked at Hermione, "Can you understand what the principal expressed?" Hermione snorted, "I don't quite understand, but I understand it to some extent. This is human instinct - what you don't get is always the last thing. Well, what you get is never worth what you don’t get.”

Harry was a little at a loss, feeling that Ron and Hermione were about to quarrel again.

Fortunately, at this moment, there was a sudden noise in the little wizard, and everyone raised their heads in unison and looked towards the center.

Principal Dumbledore is here!

The principal smiled and picked up the silver spoon and tapped the cup gently.

After a while, the entire auditorium was filled with Hufflepuff logos, and the bright yellow covered the entire auditorium, making the auditorium resplendent and noble.

"Another year has passed!" said Dumbledore cheerfully. "Before you enjoy these delicacies, I must trouble you to listen to an old man's cliché.

What a wonderful year it has been. Your little minds must be richer than before... There is a whole summer waiting for you, so that you can digest what you have learned before the start of the next semester.

Haha, now let’s free up our brains and carry out the Academy Cup award ceremony. Let’s take a look at the specific scores of each academy:
Fourth place, Gryffindor, 312 points; third place, Ravenclaw, 352 points; second place, Slytherin, 426 points; first place, Hufflepuff, 672 points! "

A burst of thunderous cheers and stamping of feet erupted from the Hufflepuff table. Although the little badgers are more Buddhist and don't care much about scores, they would be very happy if they could win a House Cup.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Lin Xia and Draco. The reason why Hufflepuff's scores were so high was entirely due to these two people.

These two men are so smart that it makes one wonder if they should go to Ravenclaw!
Not only was he an honor student at Hogwarts in his first year, he also published a paper and developed a brand new magic item.

Especially Lin Xia.

Her magnetic wand promoted the development of wands in the wizarding world and was revered as the "Mother of Magnetic Wands".

The youthful facial soap she invented was also very popular. As soon as she got the permission to sell it, the supply of the items exceeded the demand and it was sold out.

In short, Hufflepuff won the House Cup, and all the little wizards in Hogwarts recognized it. The aura of these two people was too strong.

Even Dean Sprout put on a smile and his face glowed amidst the cheers of the badgers.

Dumbledore spoke at this time: "Hufflepuff House's performance throughout the school year has been very good, but the recent events must also be taken into account."

The auditorium suddenly became very quiet, and the smiles on the faces of the badgers faded a bit.

"First, Mr. Ron Weasley...he won the most exciting game of chess at Hogwarts in many years. I award 100 points to Gryffindor House for this!"

"Second, Miss Hermione Granger... she faced the fire and calmly conducted logical reasoning. I will award 100 points to Gryffindor House!"

"Third, Harry Potter..." Dumbledore paused.

The auditorium became extremely quiet at this time.

"He showed fearless courage and extraordinary courage. For this, I will also award 150 points to Gryffindor House!"

A loud noise broke out on the field, and the Gryffindor students shouted their voices hoarse while calculating the scores in their minds.

Now Gryffindor's score has risen to 662 points, and there is only 10 points behind the first place Hufflepuff.

Will a miracle happen again?

Dumbledore tapped the cup with the silver spoon again, a crisp ding-dong sound sounded, and the Great Hall fell silent again.

"There are many types of courage," he said with a smile. "To deal with the enemy, we need superhuman courage, and to stand our ground in front of our friends also requires a lot of courage. At the same time, in the face of danger to our partners, we need to be brave without hesitation. Going to the rescue showed an extremely noble character.”

"Therefore, I would like to reward Neville Longbottom with 20 points, Mikel Bain with 20 points, Lin Xia with 15 points, and Draco Malfoy with 15 points!"

After Dumbledore finished speaking, the scores of the Academy Cup changed. The scores of Hufflepuff and Gryffindor became the same value——

702 points!
"Wow!!!"

The screams of the little wizards grew louder and louder, and the entire auditorium was about to be overturned by them!
Dumbledore waved his wand, and the Great Hall was filled with gold and red, creating both a yellow atmosphere and a red heat.

Tonight, the championship belongs to both Hufflepuff and Gryffindor!
Professor McGonagall shook hands with Dean Sprout happily. She waved her wand, and a majestic lion appeared on the Gryffindor table, swaying around, then jumped off the table and appeared in the entire Great Hall. Running around.

Wherever it passed, it left a patch of red shining starlight.

Professor McGonagall nodded slightly to Lin Xia, "Lin Xia, it's your turn."

Lin Xia raised her eyebrows slightly and stretched out her wand to wave. Gradually, a huge and friendly badger also appeared at the Hufflepuff dining table.

The little wizard waved happily to Badger, and Badger, holding a saxophone in his hand, greeted them cordially.

Badger jumped off the dining table, while playing the saxophone and making beautiful music, he sprinkled countless candies in the shape of gold coins from his hands.

"Oh!!!"

The little wizards competed to grab the candy that Badger spilled, and were surprised to find that the candy was real and edible!

Ron said happily and excitedly: "Transfiguration can actually reach this point, even real food can be transformed?"

Hermione shook her head seriously: "No, Ron, in "Gamp's Basic Transformation Rules", nothing can be transformed into food. Candy is also a kind of food. It is not so much that Lin Xia transformed it, but it is made of Some kind of deception was used to make the badger sprinkle the real candy."

Badger walked up to Professor McGonagall and Dean Sprout, gave each of them a candy, and then jumped away happily.

Professor McGonagall looked at the candy in her palm in surprise. She naturally recognized that it was real candy.

Dean Sprout asked curiously: "Isn't it true that transfiguration can't produce food? This seems to be true."

Professor McGonagall said slowly: "It is true that food cannot be transformed into food, but these candies are also real. Lin Xia used some transformation skills to let Badger get a lot of real candies in advance. She is really talented. Very imaginative too.”

She turned to look at Sprout, "You really don't want to go to France with me. I feel that Lin Xia is very likely to win the prize this time. She will be even happier if you are here."

Sprout hesitated for a moment, "But my beloved little garden... Well, let me think about it again. Anyway, I still have some time."
