Together [HP]

The Great Hall was decked out in Slytherin green and silver to celebrate their seventh consecutive House Cup win.On the wall behind the guest table hung a huge banner depicting a Slytherin snake.There was a sudden silence in the Great Hall when Harry walked in, and then suddenly everyone was talking loudly again.Soon, Dumbledore also arrived, and the noise in the auditorium gradually subsided.

"Another year has passed!" said Dumbledore cheerily. "Before we feast on these delicious meals, I must trouble you all to listen to an old man's platitudes. What a year it has been! Surely in your little heads It's a little richer than before. There's a whole summer vacation waiting for you, so you can digest those things well before the next semester starts, and free up your mind. "Now, as far as I know, we have to go to college first." The specific scores of each house are as follows: No.4, Gryffindor, 310 and two points; No.3, Hufflepuff, 350 and two points; Ravenclaw, 420 and six points, and Slytherin, 470 and two points. "

There was a thunderous cheer and stomping across the Slytherin table.Jacquiline saw Draco Malfoy banging his goblet on the table.

"Etiquette, etiquette," Jacqueline whispered, but couldn't stop herself from laughing like a madman.

"Yeah, yeah, good performance." Dumbledore said, "However, a few recent events must also be taken into account." The auditorium became very quiet, and the smiles of the Slytherins also subsided a little.

"Uh, uh," Dumbledore cleared his throat, "I still have some last points to assign. Let me see. By the way, the first item, Mr. Ron Weasley." Ron's face suddenly became pale It was bright red, like a carrot that had been exposed to the sun.

"He won the best game of chess at Hogwarts in many years, and I award Gryffindor House fifty points for that."

The cheers of the Gryffindors nearly knocked the enchanted ceiling down.The stars above their heads also seemed to be trembling slightly.Percy can be heard shouting to the other prefects: "It's my brother, you know it! My youngest brother! Passed Professor McGonagall's giant chessboard!"

It was hard for everyone to calm down again.

"The second item, I will give to Miss Hermione Granger. No matter what dangers she encounters, Miss Granger has not abandoned her companions. For her courage, I will give Gryffindor fifty points."

Hermione buried her face in her arms, and Jacqueline seriously suspected that she must have been crying secretly.The Gryffindor classmates were all overjoyed, jumping up and down around the table, they improved a whole hundred points!

"Third item, Harry Potter," said Dumbledore.The auditorium suddenly became extremely silent. "He has shown audacity and courage, for which I would also like to award Gryffindor House sixty points."

The noise was deafening.Those students who shouted hoarsely while still calculating the scores in their minds knew that Gryffindor was now at 470 two points, and they were tied with Slytherin!

Dumbledore raised a hand.The auditorium gradually became quiet again.

"There are many types of courage," Dumbledore smiled. "We need superhuman courage to deal with the enemy, but it also takes a lot of courage to stand our ground in front of friends. Therefore, I would like to reward Mr. Neville Longbottom very."

The cheers at the Gryffindor table became higher and higher, Harry, Ron and Hermione stood up and cheered loudly, only to see Neville's face pale with surprise, and was suddenly overwhelmed by the crowd pushing up to hug him up.He never gave Gryffindor a point!

All the Slytherins turned pale, and within minutes they lost the House Cup.On the teacher's table, Snape looked very bad, looking at Harry viciously.

"However, however." Dumbledore raised his hand again, "Facing the raging fire, Miss Jacqueline Graham calmly reasoned logically. I would like to reward Slytherin House with fifty points."

"So, that's why you've been missing for a whole day!" Pansy yelled next to Jacqueline, "Going on an adventure with a pack of lion cubs?"

"I was forced." Jacqueline explained helplessly.

"Aha," Pansy smirked, "like it's true."

The Slytherins roared and threw their hats into the air.Snape's face began to warm up, but when Jacqueline met his eyes, she really wanted to go and explain, and I was forced.

"This means," Dumbledore had to roar loudly to drown out the thunderous cheers, "the champion of the House Cup this time is still Slytherin!"

This should be the best time of Jacqueline's life, if you add that after the party Hermione, Ron and Harry made a special trip to the Slytherin table to apologize for having misunderstood Professor Snape.

What excites Jacqueline the most is the day when the scores were handed out. Jacqueline almost didn't dare to look at it.However, to her surprise, she got the first place in the whole grade, and she still got full marks in Potions.And Hermione won No.2 in the whole grade.

"Thank you, Merlin." Jacqueline said to her report card, "I hope my mother can see that I beat Hermione and reduce my punishment."

All of a sudden, as if, their wardrobes were empty and their stuff packed into suitcases.Notices were sent to each student, warning them not to use magic during the holidays.I'm not sure, laughed Jacqueline, or I'd die of exhaustion.

Hagrid was in charge of leading them aboard the convoy across the lake.Now, they have boarded the Hogwarts Express, chatting and laughing all the way, watching the countryside outside the window getting greener and tidier.The train passed through Muggle towns one after another. They ate Bibi's multi-flavored beans, took off their wizard robes, and changed into jackets and jackets; finally, the train stopped at platform 9 4/3 at King's Cross Station .

It took them a long time to get all out of the platform.A shriveled old guard stood at the ticket gate, allowing only two or three people through at a time, so that they wouldn't attract the attention of the Muggles as a whole bunch of people came in and out of the solid walls at once.

"Write to me." Hermione appeared out of nowhere before Jacqueline got into James' car.

"If I'm free." They both laughed.

"She must be the Hermione Granger you often mention in your letters." James started the car.

"She is." Jacqueline nodded.

"Maybe you could invite her over to your house this summer?" James suggested. "I'm glad you made some friends at school."

"Oh," Jacqueline flattened her lips, "we can't be considered friends yet."

James didn't speak, just looked in the rearview mirror, obviously, he didn't believe it.

"By the way," Jacqueline leaned over from the back seat and looked at her father. "I'm going to ask Uncle Lei why he told me that the Praetorians are the safest in chess."
