The day of the duel at Hogwarts

"Snow sculpture? A package from the Wizengamot to Mr. Sean? Severus, do you know what this is?"

Snape stood up and gave Dumbledore a rather disgusted look. He was not in the mood to answer his words, so he left the professor's table and walked towards the Slytherin table.

Seeing Snape's actions, Dumbledore was not impressed. He also stood up and followed Snape.

The snow sculptures delivered the package and left immediately. Unlike the owls, these snow sculptures were faster and stronger and did not need to rest for a while. They left immediately after delivering the package.

Sean looked at the package delivered by the snow sculpture. It was generally a flat rectangular box. It could be seen that there was probably a book inside.

Opening the box, Sean took out a sample of the latest issue of "The Golden Crucible". The cover showed a middle-aged wizard making a potion. He even said hello to Sean while making the potion. , Sean didn't know the other person, but he generally knew that the other person should be a wizard who was famous in potions, otherwise he wouldn't be qualified to use the photo as the cover of "The Golden Crucible".

In addition, the title, author, and page number of many articles are also written on the cover. They should all be quite famous and very popular papers, but there is an exception here, which is Sean's own paper.

There is a line of small text in the lower left corner, which contains the title of Sean's thesis, his name, and the prefix of a first-year Slytherin student at Hogwarts. It seems to be used as a novel selling point, but when I think of myself That grandfather was also in the Wizengamot, and it was hard for Sean not to feel that there was some influence from his cheap grandfather.

Of course, Sean is not the kind of person with mental mysophobia. He thinks this is normal. He seeks some benefits for himself when the rules allow it. Sean doesn't think there is much problem with this kind of behavior.

Putting down the journal sample in his hand, Sean did not pick it up immediately to look at it. He took out a beautiful parchment certificate from the package. On it were some official congratulations and thanks for Sean's submission and selection. Finally, there was a The palm-sized golden ticket was worth thirty gold galleons, which was quite expensive.

After getting the golden ticket, Sean looked up and was about to say something to Blaise, but suddenly found that the entire auditorium had become quite quiet. Turning around, Sean immediately saw Snape and Dun standing behind him. Bumbledore, and other professors also came behind Dumbledore one after another. When the young wizards around him saw the actions of Dumbledore and other professors, they all looked at Sean quietly, although they did not know what happened. What did they do, but it didn't stop them from watching the fun.

"Sean, have you been selected?"

"Selected, Professor."

In response, Sean immediately handed the journal sample and the acceptance certificate to Snape. As for the golden ticket, Sean stuffed it directly into his pocket. There was no need to show it to others.

Snape held the journal samples and certificates in his hands. Dumbledore and the professors around him also saw what was in Snape's hands. Snape was blocking them just now, so they couldn't see clearly, but Now, they see it.

"Oh, my God!" Professor Sputraw, the headmaster of Hufflepuff and the teacher of Herbology, saw the "Golden Cauldron" and the selection certificate in Snape's hand, and also saw Sean's name on the certificate. He couldn't help but exclaimed and looked at Sean with surprise.

It has been many years. There has been no Hogwarts student whose paper has been selected into a top academic journal. Now this has been broken by a first-year wizard.

Snape looked at the journals and certificates in his hands, with a rather vague look of pride on his face. There were many children in his potion club with amazing talents who could brew difficult potions at a young age. , they can memorize the recipes for many rare potions, but only Sean can write a paper that was published in "The Golden Crucible" when he was in school. Moreover, among these children, Sean is definitely the youngest one. You must know that he Just a first grader.

Just as Snape was thinking about whether he should praise Sean a little, he suddenly felt his robes being pulled by Sean.

Frowning slightly, Snape looked at Sean. Subconsciously, he felt that Sean might be acting like a monster again.

"Professor, tell me, if my paper is published in the Golden Crucible, does it count as a contribution to Hogwarts? After all, the name of Hogwarts is written on the Golden Crucible?"

Although Sean only whispered in a low voice, the professors behind Snape understood clearly. Everyone had a strange look on their face, and some of them were already looking at Dumbledore. Unfortunately, they were still He didn't see the stiff look on his principal's face, he still looked kind and gentle.

Snape's eyebrows raised slightly. He turned to look at Dumbledore and said, "Selected into the Wizengamot's top journal "The Golden Crucible", shouldn't it be inferior to a certain Gryffindor? A game of chess, right?"

Following Snape's words, someone in Slytherin already looked at Ron on the Gryffindor side. The look of contempt made Ron's face turn red, but he couldn't say anything.

Dumbledore looked at Snape, still gentle, and said unhurriedly: "Severus, you should have seen the game of chess played by Mr. Weasley. The reason for rewarding Mr. Weasley. Not just winning a game of chess, but the courage and sacrifice he showed, I think, Severus, you should understand, right?"

Having said this, Dumbledore looked at Sean again and continued: "Of course, Mr. Burst's achievements are unquestionable. He broke the impossibility of Hogwarts for many years and created Hogwarts." Over the years, the knowledge he has shown in potions is also worthy of being remembered by Hogwarts.

Therefore, Mr. Sean Bursted will receive the Hogwarts Special Contribution Award, and he will add fifty points to Slytherin as an encouragement!

Therefore, the winner of this Academy Cup is Slytherin. At the same time, Slytherin also ushered in the honor of seven consecutive championships. Let us cheer for Slytherin's seven consecutive championships! "

With Dumbledore waving his right hand, green and silver fireworks immediately exploded on the ceiling of the Great Hall, and a large number of silver and green light spots fell from above like snowflakes to celebrate Slytherin's seventh consecutive championship.

On the long table of the four major houses, the little wizards of Slytherin cheered. Correspondingly, there was the silent Gryffindor, and the cheers of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were not too loud. .

Coming back from adversity, Slytherin's little wizards almost went crazy.

Especially those in seventh grade, they look at Sean with gratitude and excitement. They know very well that at least half of the credit for their seventh consecutive championship comes from Sean!
