Chapter 111 Dumbledore's Crooked Nose
Oren's story quickly spread in the magic world.
The Daily Prophet described him as an extremely evil and crazy dark wizard, and used a whole page to publish his wanted poster.
The rest of the page was all praising the Ministry of Magic for its heroic performance in successfully rescuing two students in this operation.
Although few people would read these contents.
Many parents wrote to the school, asking for an early holiday.
What if Oren was still hiding in the Forbidden Forest? They were not at ease letting their children stay there.
Dumbledore also agreed that students could take the Hogwarts Express to go home early that day, and their transcripts would be sent by owls in the next few days.
In just one day, Hogwarts lost one-third of its population, and the castle seemed empty.
But Kyle did not leave, and so did Cedric and the others.
Chris came back, and he came to Hogwarts in a dusty manner, and pulled Kyle up and down to check several times, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he took Kyle to an empty classroom and said with a stern face: "Didn't I tell you not to bother with this matter!"
"This is an accident." Kyle said honestly: "I will pay attention next time.
Faced with Kyle's answer, Chris was obviously not satisfied and scolded him for a long time.
During the whole process, Kyle did not defend himself, but just nodded, and his attitude of admitting his mistakes was very good.
When the two left the classroom, Newt just came out of Dumbledore's office. When the two left, Chris asked him if he wanted to go back together.
But Kyle refused, saying that he wanted to take the train back with his friends. Chris thought about it and didn't insist.
But what Kyle didn't expect was that Diana came the next day.
But unlike Chris, she first went to the Forbidden Forest, and then went straight to the principal's office on the eighth floor.
No one knows what happened afterwards, but during this period, many students They all noticed that there were some unfamiliar faces on the portraits in the castle corridor, and they claimed to be the former headmasters of Hogwarts.
In addition, the gargoyle on the eighth floor was gone.
...
Kyle didn't know when Diana left.
That night, he and Cedric went to the end-of-year banquet together. The hall was divided into two parts. The left side was decorated with green and silver, representing Slytherin, and the right side was decorated with yellow and black, representing Hufflepuff.
It is worth mentioning that the extra points Oren got in the Forbidden Forest were actually valid.
In addition to the Quidditch champion... Hufflepuff's house points were exactly the same as Slytherin, tied for first place.
The two walked to the Hufflepuff table and sat down. Kyle noticed that Connor still didn't come today.
After a while, Dumbledore also came. I don't know if it was an illusion, Kyle always felt that his nose was more crooked than before.
The noise in the hall gradually subsided.
"Another year has passed! "Before you enjoy these delicious dishes, I must bother you to listen to an old man's clichés.
Although there were some minor episodes at the end, it is undeniable that this is still a wonderful year, and your little brains must be richer than in the past... You have a whole summer vacation to digest these things and clear your brains before the next semester starts..."
"Now, let's carry out the award ceremony of the college cup. The specific scores of each college are as follows:
Fourth place, Gryffindor, 101 points; third place, Ravenclaw, 332 points; Slytherin, 497 points; Hufflepuff, 497 points. "
The expected cheers did not appear. Hufflepuff and Slytherin stared at each other, and they were a little dissatisfied with the result.
There is only one college cup, it is impossible to give it to two colleges at the same time!
The people of the remaining two colleges were quietly eating melons and watching the show on the side.
"Yes, both colleges performed well. "Dumbledore cleared his throat and said, "But something that happened recently must also be counted, Mr. Kyle Chopper..."
Everyone's eyes turned to Kyle.
"He not only saved a freshman in the Forbidden Forest, but also found the dark wizard hidden in the school, showing great courage and extraordinary courage.
For this reason, I decided to award him the Special Contribution Award to the School and reward Hufflepuff with 200 points!"
Although the number of people participating in the banquet was much less than before, the cheers were still deafening. If someone stood outside the hall at this moment, they might think there was an explosion here.
There is no need to calculate any points. Hufflepuff successfully prevented Slytherin from winning six consecutive championships and won the College Cup!
In addition, the most important thing is the Special Contribution Award to the School.
Fred and George stood on the stool excitedly and shouted to Kyle: "Don't worry, Kyle, we will definitely wipe your trophy carefully when you are in detention next time! "
"And it's cleaner than anyone else's..."
Professor McGonagall glanced at them coldly, and suddenly felt tired.
"This means..." Dumbledore shouted loudly: "We need to make some small changes to the decoration here."
He clapped his hands, and the green hanging ribbons turned to yellow, the silver to black, and a huge banner with a Hufflepuff badger painted on the wall behind the guest of honor seat.
Snape was shaking hands with Professor Sprout. His face was calm and he naturally showed a signature smile. He didn't seem to be angry at all.
Before leaving school, the test results came out.
Kyle ranked first in his grade with a very high score.
Cedric looked at Kyle's report card and said in surprise: "Merlin, your score is much higher than mine last year, and it's only one point away. You have a perfect score. It's a pity..."
Kyle also felt a little regretful.
He wrote smoothly during the exam, but he didn't notice that the twelve uses of fire dragon blood were written down as thirteen, and he was deducted one point.
It seems that the professors do not think that fire dragon blood can be used as an ingredient in cooking.
Apart from this small flaw, his scores in all other subjects were perfect, including potion brewing.
Snape gave him full marks for his boil potion, a treatment that even Slytherin students rarely get.
Connor was ranked second in grade, plus Cedric, who was ranked first in grade two... This year's Hufflepuff can be said to have shown its face hard.
Professor Sprout didn't even go to the greenhouse, and just hung around in front of other professors.
