Connor's Hogwarts

The week has gone by in a flash, and tonight is the end-of-year banquet. It is the end of the school year, so it is reasonable to have a banquet.

The House Cup will also be awarded at this banquet. The House Cup is an annual award at Hogwarts. At the end of each school year, the House Cup will be awarded to the house with the highest house score.

This year, the house with the highest house score is Slytherin.

That's right, this year's House Cup still belongs to Slytherin. Although Ravenclaw has Connor, the most important thing Ravenclaw lacks is students with good grades. The House Cup is not just for those houses with good grades. To whom.

The composition of college points is relatively complex. In addition to the usual bonus points and deductions from professors and prefects, there are also bonus points for various college collective activities, such as Quidditch, Quidditch and Quidditch matches.

This year's Quidditch champion is Slytherin, so it is reasonable for them to win the Academy Cup.

But Connor was a little depressed. He was afraid that he was not a fake protagonist. The college where he was in didn't win the college cup! What a shame! Obviously I have worked so hard to get Slytherin.

The scores of each house that Connor saw on the house hourglass in the morning were: first place, Slytherin with 469 points; second place, Ravenclaw with 455 points; third place with 455 points. Lanffindor had 422 points; the fourth-placed Hufflepuff had 410 points.

Slytherin is extremely persistent in winning the House Cup. They are eager for honor, pursue honor, and are quite united. Even though Connor's various mischief caused them to be divided internally, they never fought among themselves when winning house points. .

For example, on the Quidditch field, even if the trolls have a bad relationship with the handsome Slytherins, they will not disgust their teammates during the game.

Moreover, the trolls were also very insidious, often stumbling upon students from other colleges and causing them to lose points from Snape. Connor looked down upon them very much.

As for Ravenclaw, they don’t attach much importance to the House Cup (Connor thinks the same at this point). They are the kind who get the best and it doesn’t matter if they don’t get it. Most Ravenclaw students regard it as Focusing on themselves, they will not deduct points that should not be deducted, but they will not actively strive to add more points.

Many top students in Ravenclaw are the kind of people who know the answers to the teacher's questions, but just don't want to raise their hands to answer the questions.

Gryffindor also attaches great importance to the House Cup, but they have too many moles. For example, a certain twin, they deducted more than 30 points from Gryffindor this semester. Every time Connor sees Percy If you eat with a green face, you know that those two people must have deducted points again.

Gryffindor said they really tried their best.

As for Hufflepuff, it was purely because they had too many people and their average strength was too average. The points they added were never as much as they were deducted, and they never thought about winning the Academy Cup.

Anyway, I am not the first, so what does it matter if I deduct more points or less points? avi

So this score result is also reasonable.

Connor opened a lemon, looked at the green and silver decorations hanging in the auditorium, and took a bite. Well, it was quite exciting.

In the auditorium, the expressions of the little wizards at each long table were surprisingly consistent.

The Slytherins were very proud, because counting this time, Slytherin had won the Academy Cup for five consecutive years.

The trolls were even more overjoyed, beaming with joy, overjoyed, and ecstatic. Their laughter filled the auditorium, for fear that some people would not know that their college had won the Academy Cup.

The Ravenclaws had expressionless faces, and they were all quietly being beauties, with no care on their faces, but they were actually sore in their hearts.

The Gryffindors forced a smile and said that even if we lost, we were still very happy, hahaha...hahaha...hahaha...

The Hufflepuffs were all eating heartlessly.

Connor drank a cup of lemon tea and had a panoramic view of the world.

Soon, Dumbledore came to the front of the stage, and the noise in the auditorium gradually subsided. Dumbledore spoke, his voice was not loud, but everyone could hear clearly:

"Classmates! Another year has passed! So many wonderful stories have happened this year. I believe everyone has had a very fulfilling life! I believe you have also learned a lot of new knowledge, which you will not be able to perform in the final exam. One ten thousandth of the knowledge you have learned”

(Everyone laughed out loud, although Connor didn't think it was funny.)

"But don't worry, there is still a long holiday waiting for you. You have enough time to consolidate the knowledge you have learned. Moreover, I believe you will study harder during the holiday, right?"

"Yes!" (students shouted with laughter)

"But now, we still have to conduct the Academy Cup award ceremony first. This year, the specific scores of each academy are: fourth place, Hufflepuff 410 points; third place, Gryffindor 422 points; third place, Gryffindor 422 points; Second place, Ravenclaw, 455 points; and first place, Slantling! 469 points!"

The long Slytherin table burst into thunderous cheers, and Connor saw the two trolls hugging each other, like the love between two dinosaurs.

The students from the other three colleges were also very considerate and clapped with stiff faces.

At this time, Dumbledore raised his hand, one hand. He coughed twice and said, "Everyone has worked hard, but I have something to say at the end."

Connor's eyes suddenly lit up! Could it be that! ! ! Is my protagonist gift package finally arriving? ? Is Dumbledore going to give me points for cheating? ? Come on, come on, give me fifty points first!

But it turned out that Connor was overthinking it, and Dumbledore stopped talking about the extra points. He said, "I regret to tell you that our Professor Nott will no longer be able to accompany you next semester."

"Ah? Is Professor Nott leaving too?"

"It's over. There's no escaping the curse of this position."

"Ah, I really like what Professor Nott said."

The young wizards were whispering to each other and talking, but most of them didn't feel any surprise. Maybe they were... used to it.

Dumbledore clapped his hands, and when the auditorium became quiet, he said: "I know everyone is very sad to see Professor Nott, but life is always like this, full of all kinds of encounters and partings. Although it is very helpless, we are always To accept…”

"Now let me ask Professor Nott to say a few words for you."

The little wizards clapped vigorously, all in recognition of Professor Nott.

Professor Nott walked to the stage, nodded to the young wizards from each college, and said:

"I'm very happy to be able to spend this year with you."

"Actually... I haven't been back here for forty years since I graduated from Hogwarts at the age of 17, so I was very excited when I returned to Hogwarts again a year ago. "

"Especially when I see your young and energetic faces, I seem to see my younger self again." Professor Nott smiled and said, "Hogwarts carries all my youth."

"In fact, I feel very lucky to be able to stand and hand in my resignation letter to Principal Dumbledore. After all, as far as I know, your last Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is still lying in St. Mungo's Hospital."

The little wizards in the senior grades burst out laughing, the sixth and seventh graders laughing especially loudly.

Only then did Connor learn that his previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professor had resigned due to pregnancy in August last year. He heard that the child's father was a freshly graduated senior.

Counting the days, the professor's child should have been born recently. Unexpectedly, Professor Nott even knew this.

Professor Nott waited until the auditorium became quiet for a while before continuing: "I have also gained a lot this year with my classmates. Yes, not only have you learned a lot from me, but I have also learned a lot from you. thing."

Connor felt Professor Nott glance at him.

"Slytherin students are united and smart. In fact, I have always felt that students from Slytherin are very suitable to be Aurors... Ravenclaw students are always full of wisdom in dealing with others, so I hate the students in the Ministry of Magic." Those leaders…”

Professor Nott said to the two tables on the right, and finally made a tongue-out expression, making the little wizards at the two tables here laugh. Then Professor Nott turned to the other side:

"Hufflepuff students are always full of patience in doing things. My former instructor was also a Hufflepuff. Without his serious and responsible teaching, I might not be able to be an Auror, so..." Professor Nott said with a Covering his mouth with one hand, he pretended to say secretly: "I secretly deducted a lot of points for you."

The Hufflepuff classmates also laughed.

"As for Gryffindor, oh, you know, I am a Slytherin. I can't put in a good word for you. I can't betray my house."

Now all the students in the auditorium laughed, with tears in their eyes.

The little wizards all recalled that this approachable professor treated each of them equally and taught them carefully, and now he was leaving them.

Professor Nott smiled, and when the auditorium became quiet again, he said with emotion: "You are all good children. I can see that no matter which college you come from, you are essentially excellent children."

"But I just saw that when the headmaster announced that Slytherin won the House Cup, you all seemed unhappy."

The little wizards all fell silent. No professor had ever mentioned this to them before when awarding awards. Connor also looked at Professor Nott with a strange look on his face, not knowing what he wanted to do.

"Actually, there is no barrier between colleges. I am a Slytherin, but my best friend is actually a Gryffindor."

There was a noise from the Gryffindor table, and Connor noticed Professor Nott looking at him again.

Professor Nott glanced at the little wizards and said:

"Life is always moving forward. Soon I will leave you and start my new journey. Here, I hope I can teach you something more at the end..."

"You are all still very young, an age full of infinite possibilities. You should think more and try more. Don't let rules constrain your thinking, and don't let tradition become your prejudice."

"Slytherin is not the lair of dark wizards, Ravenclaw is not a nerd who only knows how to read, Hufflepuff is not a nerd who just likes to eat, and Gryffindor is not a brainless muscleman."

"Put aside your inherent cognition. In fact, as long as you are willing to take the initiative to make contact, you will find that Ravenclaw is not indifferent, Hufflepuff is not stupid, Gryffindor likes to reason, and Slater Lin is not an evil demon..."

"Go and say hello. In fact, we Slytherins really want to make friends with you. Slytherin classmates don't be too shy. There is no shame in wanting to make friends."

"Actually, sometimes, you just need a little courage to take the first step."

Seeing that the little wizards were silent and hesitant to speak, Professor Nott smiled and said: "So, don't blame us Slytherin for winning the Academy Cup, okay? Slytherin's classmates did a great job! (Nott) Professor Te gave Slytherin a thumbs up)"

Now everyone laughed happily again, and the atmosphere in the hall was much more lively than at the beginning.

Connor looked at Professor Nott who was standing in front of the stage and smiled heartily, and seemed to see the cheerful Miss Mandy.

"Youth is always full of noise. My youth has been silent, but your youth has just begun."

"So please try more, understand more, strive for more, and don't leave any regrets for your youth."

Professor Nott put one hand on his chest and bowed deeply to the students.

"Students, get out of class is over."
