From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

The hall of Hogwarts was decorated with green and silver, representing Slytherin, to celebrate their winning of the House Cup for seven consecutive years. On the wall behind the guest of honor, there was a huge banner with a Slytherin snake.

The last Quidditch game had passed, and the five young wizards who participated in the challenge had left their own legends in the castle. All activities that could change the house points no longer existed.

The students were shouting loudly in the hall to celebrate the end of the semester and the beginning of the summer vacation.

When Dumbledore walked into the hall, the noisy voices gradually stopped.

"Very good! I believe everyone can't wait! Whether it's the food on the table or the summer vacation in a few days." Dumbledore said happily, "But before that, we still have things to do. First is the award ceremony of the college cup. The specific scores of each college are as follows: fourth place, Gryffindor, 177 points; third place, Hufflepuff, 282 points; Ravenclaw 326 points, Slytherin 377 points."

Due to the "legal night tour" that Dumbledore had previously instigated, the four major colleges were deducted some points to varying degrees, but even so, Gryffindor still had a gap of 200 points with Slytherin.

So a thunderous cheer and stomping sound broke out on the Slytherin table.

"Yes, yes, everyone performed well, and so did our dedicated professors. They deducted a lot of points from all the students who went out at night, right?" Dumbledore made a good-natured joke, but no one echoed him. For students and professors, being deducted points for going out at night and being caught by night patrols were not pleasant things.

Dumbledore did not look embarrassed at all. He continued: "I believe you have heard that several brave first-year students formed a team and successfully passed the room at the end of the corridor on the fourth floor."

"So," his eyes stayed on the Slytherin table and the Gryffindor table for a while, "some points must be added."

"Okay, let me see..."

"First, with the calm performance of Miss Hermione Granger, they passed Professor Sprout's giant devil's snare..."

The students at the Gryffindor table focused all their attention on Hermione and applauded solemnly, while Hermione buried her head in her arms.

"Then the Seekers from both schools worked together to pass Professor Flitwick's Flying Key Room..."

The cheers in the hall stopped because Dumbledore's statement was different from what they had heard, but when they thought of the forced cooperation in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, everyone could accept it, so some people clapped sparsely.

"Facing Professor McGonagall's giant chessboard formation, Miss Cassandra Worley quickly passed the level in an unprecedented way. She subdued the White King and Queen with just one spell..."

The cheers at the Slytherin table rang again, and some people even banged the table with cutlery, while Cassandra just flicked her blonde hair.

"In front of the terrible undead troll, Mr. Ron Weasley and Mr. Harry Potter put aside their past grudges, lent a hand to their companions, and successfully saved a life - and Mr. Draco Malfoy also commanded his friends to set the troll's head on fire. From that moment on, I realized that they were not students from two colleges, but a team from Hogwarts!"

In the first half of Dumbledore's speech, Malfoy slid under the table, revealing only a part of his forehead. But when it came to "setting the troll's head on fire", he sat on the chair again, looking very calm.

"Finally, under the calm reasoning of Miss Hermione Granger, Mr. Harry Potter and Miss Cassandra Worley bravely arrived at Professor Victor's exclusive level... Yes... They succeeded, they successfully passed all the tests! Because of their various acts of unity along the way, I think all of them deserve the final reward!"

"So, I will reward them with 200 points each!"

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, there was a sound of a large number of gems falling into the hourglass at the entrance of the hall, which lasted for a long time like a waterfall.

Everyone was stunned by the news. This was probably the largest-scale bonus in the history of Hogwarts. A full 1,000 points of the school were given away by Dumbledore in one sentence.

The smart students quickly reacted. Because Gryffindor had one more student participating in the challenge than Slytherin, the two schools had completely eliminated the gap in this bonus, and the total score reached an astonishing 777 points.

The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone held their breath, waiting for Dumbledore to announce the final winner of the House Cup.

"I have been in Hogwarts Castle for most of my life, and this is the first time I have seen two houses with the same score." Dumbledore smiled and pushed his half-moon glasses, "Unfortunately, there is no longer enough time and reason for the house points to change..."

The young wizards in the hall looked at each other, no one knew what would happen. Snape, who was sitting at the head desk of the faculty, frowned and stared fiercely at Harry, who was sitting in the middle of a group of Gryffindors.

Dumbledore raised his hand and said calmly: "Given the spirit of unity shown by the five young wizards in Hogwarts, it is not difficult to let the two colleges share this year's college cup. Let's add some decoration to the hall!"

Half of the green hanging ribbons in the hall turned bright red, and the silver turned gold; the huge Slytherin snake had to give up half of its position and share the world with a majestic Gryffindor lion. Dumbledore took out his wand and pointed it, and the college cup in front of him turned into a pair, and it seemed that he was going to give one to each of the two colleges.

"Now, everyone can cheer!" Dumbledore applauded first, and other voices began to appear in the quiet hall.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9!

The Gryffindors thought about it and felt that it was acceptable. After all, they were the last one a few minutes ago, and it was not bad to be tied for first place now.

Of course, Slytherin could accept it. Dumbledore was openly biased towards Gryffindor. At least, even so, they were still sitting in the first place. Although there were more people, they could still squeeze in.

Snape stood up from the long desk of the faculty and shook hands with Professor McGonagall, forcing an awkward smile on his face.

The most surprised person in the hall was Ivy. He didn't expect that Dumbledore would come up with the idea of ​​uniting the four major colleges. In Hogwarts, which has become increasingly divided in recent decades, this is almost impossible.

It seems that Dumbledore has indeed begun to feel a sense of crisis. In this school that has suffered so many disasters, is this a good thing or a bad thing?
