Hogwarts Scholar System

Maple succeeded!

A second grader actually made it!

There was silence. After a brief silence, Gryffindor took the lead in cheering enthusiastically.

Professor McGonagall was delighted and seemed to be relieved at the same time. It seemed that she was not 100% sure in advance that Maple, whom she had high hopes for, would succeed.

Dumbledore and Snape didn't show much surprise on their faces, but their moods about this were completely different. The former showed relief and joy, but the latter had a stinky face.

Hermione looked proud and proud, and Harry clapped hard, with a smile on his face.Although the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students also gave applause, the smiles on their faces were not as sincere and enthusiastic as the Gryffindor students.

After all, it is not the honor of their own college!

Especially the students of Ravenclaw Academy felt a strong sense of unwillingness.They probably felt that the honor of being the first contracted unicorn should be theirs, if Celia was present.

Celia is their pride. She is the first student to enter the Ravenclaw Chamber of Secrets in recent years, and she is the pride of their Ravenclaws.The Ravenclaws are all convinced that if it were her, she should be able to pass the unicorn test easily!

As for the area where Slytherin was, it was deathly silent.Seeing that their mortal enemy had gained new glory, they were extremely unhappy and at the same time felt envious and jealous.

"Congratulations to Mr. Maple and his partners for becoming the first wizard-unicorn friendship we have witnessed today, congratulations to them!" Dumbledore said passionately. After he finished speaking, the crowd cheered for Maple for the second time. Poole applauded.

"We are honored to be witnesses of their friendship, and let us sincerely wish Mr. Maple and his partner a lasting friendship!"

After the crowd cheered again, Professor McGonagall coughed, and Dumbledore finally stopped and let the next student who couldn't wait for the contract come on.

With Maple's success in mind, students after him felt more confident after he stepped down with his fellow unicorns.

But what awaited them was the same disappointment as the previous students.

"Harry Potter!" After Harry Potter came on stage, before the contract ceremony even started, he received a lot of applause.Harry used his own efforts to kill the basilisk, and the applauding students felt that Harry deserved it.

But at this moment, Maple and the others didn't notice that when Rita Skeeter, the reporter from the Daily Prophet, heard Harry's name, she suddenly felt like a shark smelling blood.

After taking a look at Harry's forehead to confirm the scar, Rita Skeeter fixed her gaze on Harry and never let go.

At the same time, her shorthand quill suddenly sped up several times, and almost half of the parchment was filled with writing on her parchment.

Perhaps inspired by everyone's encouragement, Harry's confidence doubled and he shouted confidently: "Calling the gods for protection!"

"Calling God to protect you, what kind of spell is this? Why have I never heard of it before?"

"This is the Patronus Charm. It is a very advanced magic that can resist dementors. It is very difficult. Even senior students may not be able to master it."

"He's only in second grade, he didn't expect to learn such advanced magic!"

"Damn it, why didn't I think of the patron saint spell? If you use this spell, it should be easy to win the favor of the unicorn."

Harry didn't know how to use silent spells yet, so after he recited the Patronus spell, there was a burst of whispers in the room.

Apparently, they still didn't know that Harry was not the first person to use the Patronus Charm.

In Harry's happy mood, the Patronus Charm he cast at this moment was even better than the best state during practice. The Patronus spell sprayed out by Harry's wand already had the general shape of a stag. His Patronus in this state was far away from the best. The realm of the physical patron saint is very close.

Rita Skeeter's eyes brightened even more, and her shorthand quill rustled and wrote quickly again.

Harry's Patronus didn't know how powerful it would be when facing the Dementors, but on the stage, Harry's performance was already very impressive.

Harry's admirers gave another round of applause.

However, when Harry held hands with the unicorn's horn, the scene that everyone expected did not happen.

They rubbed their eyes and looked at the stage again, but the result was still the same, Harry did not succeed in the contract.

Gryffindor and Harry's admirers were disappointed, but the Slytherin snakes whistled and booed Harry.

Harry walked off with concealed disappointment, leaving the stage to the next person. He didn't notice Dumbledore's encouraging eyes at all.

After Harry failed, Rita Skeeter, who was preparing to make big news about Harry, was not only not disappointed, but even more excited.

After Harry stepped down, Rita Skeeter never glanced at the rest of the event, even though her partner, the photographer, was still dutifully documenting every shot.

Rita Skeeter lowered her head and began to write rustlingly the manuscript she was going to publish in the Daily Prophet. Within a few minutes, she filled several pieces of parchment.

"Hermione Granger!"

Hermione showed off the moves she learned from Maple——

"Fire is raging!" Hermione first released a ball of flames that flew into the air, and then the flames split into more than a dozen groups.

Hermione then cast a transformation spell, and a dozen balls of flame turned into a dozen flame birds flying in the air.

Then, under Hermione's control, the Flamebirds changed into several formations and postures, sometimes circling, sometimes swooping, like a flock of wild geese.

Finally, all the flame birds flew towards the leading one. All the flame birds gathered in one place, turned into a ball of flame again, and returned to nothingness under Hermione's ending spell.

After performing the wonderful magic, Hermione stepped forward and held the unicorn's horn with her hand.

Although it took a little slower than Maple, Hermione finally got the unicorn's recognition and successfully lit up the contract magic circle.

"Hermione, good job!" Maple took the lead in cheering for Hermione, but this time it was obviously not as enthusiastic as Maple's applause.

Gryffindor came out on top, and Professor McGonagall was even happier. However, Gryffindor's winning of so many honors aroused dissatisfaction from other houses.

Slytherin would not applaud Gryffindor, but Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw's applause was much sparser this time.

"Why is she wearing a veil all the time? Isn't she disfigured?" Slytherin's ugly Pansy Parkinson said sarcastically.

After Hermione put on the veil that Maple gave her, she covered the scars on her face and cast a spell on the veil so that other students could not see any trace of scars on her face.

However, the strange behavior of not taking off the veil for several months also aroused the suspicion of many students, but after getting used to it, they didn't care too much.

But I didn't expect that what Pansy Parkinson said now out of jealousy happened to hit the truth.

Hermione completely ignored the sour words from the students who couldn't eat the grapes. She happily returned to her seat with her contracted unicorn and gave Maple a proud look——

"Look, I did it too!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of ambiguity.

Now the Gryffindors around them are also sour. It's not enough for the two of you to take away a unicorn each, and you are openly spreading dog food in front of us. It's really too much!

The activity continued, and after a few hours, most of the students who had participated in the contract activities felt hungry, but those who had not yet signed a contract were still waiting anxiously and did not feel hungry at all.

Students in grades three and four have all done it again, but the third winner has not yet appeared.At this time, the expressions of the students looking at Maple and Hermione changed——

Is their magic power already beyond the fourth grade level?

The third and fourth graders were wiped out, but the fifth graders still had confidence in themselves until they too failed.

After falling down from the stage, the stomach of the fifth-grade student, who had been feeling nothing at first, suddenly began to growl.

After none of the fifth graders succeeded, everyone looked at Maple and Hermione with horror.

When the sixth and seventh graders came on stage, in addition to their desire to contract a unicorn, they also held an extra breath.

If not one of them can successfully make a contract, doesn't it mean that they are not as good as a pair of juniors who are four or five years younger than them.

Maple and Hermione had not challenged them, but now they had to answer.Once they lose, these seniors will really lose face.

But the reality is always so cruel. Although each of them tried desperately, the result still did not change.

Even Harry, who had the aura of the protagonist, was defeated, so what about them?

Alas, the protagonist’s halo can’t compete with the wall hanging!

Come here with good fortune and return with bad news!What was even more depressing was that after they returned, they learned that their exams this semester would go on as usual.

Only then did they discover to their horror that first there was the basilisk in the chamber, and then there was the contracted unicorn, alternating with great sorrow and great joy, and they had not spent any effort to learn.

"I really envy Ron and the others!" Seamus couldn't help saying at this time.Because it will take some time for the mandrake to mature, Ron and the petrified Justin do not need to take the final exam.

Hermione was particularly excited about the exam, and she was particularly persistent about her ranking. She seemed to be worried about her first place last year, and this time she was determined to make up for last year's lag in practice points.

Not only did she have to get the first place in the overall score, but she also had to have at least the same score as Maple in the practical exam, so that she felt that her first place was worthy of her name.

After Maple used Li Xiaoyao's card on Hermione last time, which greatly narrowed the magic gap between the two, Hermione seemed confident this time.
