Hogwarts: Storm Chaser

The exam is over, everyone has ushered in the long-awaited vacation, and is about to face the pain of separation.

Tonight's banquet will be the last gathering of this school year.

The auditorium was crowded, and everyone sat neatly on their long tables.

It was full of noise, like the beginning of school.

A year has passed like this. Time flies, but a lot of things have happened.

Everyone came, whether it was Madam Pomfrey, Madam Pince, or Filch, they all sat at the guest table.

This night, except for the auditorium, there will be no one in the castle.

However, the big golden chair in the center of the guest seat was still empty.

The Great Hall was decorated in the blue and silver colors representing Ravenclaw.

On the wall behind the guest of honor seat hung a huge banner depicting the Ravenclaw eagle.

These all indicate who the protagonist is tonight. Professor Flitwick in the guest seat has already put on a bright smile.

Just when Professor McGonagall was complaining to her old best friend that Dumbledore hadn't come yet, Dumbledore walked in with steady steps.

Dumbledore came to his seat and stood with his hands raised.

Soon, the noise in the auditorium died down.

Crossing his fingers, Dumbledore put his hand on his lower abdomen and said happily:

"Another year has passed!"

"Before you enjoy these treasures on a jade plate, please listen to the clichés of an old man like me."

"It's been a wonderful and ridiculous year!"

"Absurd, I believe everyone noticed my choice of words."

"There have been so many changes this year that as an old man like me, I can hardly recognize this castle."

Dumbledore laughed at himself, and many young wizards also smiled, as did the professors.

If you think about it carefully, it is true that the changes this year have been too great.

Not to mention Dumbledore, even the old students couldn't adapt.

On the contrary, the first-year students adapt best.

"Everyone is aware of the changes, so I won't bother an old man describing them."

"Compared to the beginning of school, everyone's little minds must be much richer than before..."

"There is a whole summer vacation waiting for you, which will allow you to digest the knowledge in your head before the start of the next semester and free up your brain for writing..."

The rambling words did not make everyone yawn, but instead they listened with interest.

Next, it was the turn of the topic, and the Ravenclaw students unconsciously sat upright.

"Now, let's start with the Academy Cup award ceremony. The rankings of each academy are as follows: Fourth place, Gryffindor, huh?"

Dumbledore looked at the Gryffindor table, frowned, and paused before speaking:

"10 points."

Many Gryffindors lowered their heads, and some even covered their ears.

However, the boos expected by the little lions did not come out.

They looked at the other long tables in astonishment. The cold encouragement, gentle encouragement and provocative encouragement all made their hearts warm.

Dumbledore, including all the faculty and staff, looked at this scene with great relief.

How many years have passed! Hogwarts has never seemed so united.

Dumbledore clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

….

"Third place, Hufflepuff, 439 points!"

The Hufflepuffs applauded themselves!

Gryffindor also gave them applause.

In the end, everyone, including the faculty and staff, applauded.

"Second place, Slytherin, 572 points!"

Slytherin didn't applaud, but Gryffindor gave them a round of applause, so they had to join the others in applauding.

[Recommended, @

.Everyone, please go and try it soon.]

"First place, Ravenclaw!"

Dumbledore glanced at everyone and said: "635 points!"

"Wow!"

The cheers of all girls rang out in Ravenclaw, and the weak male voices were buried in it, like a small boat in the sea.

Although they already knew the answer, they were still excited when Principal Dumbledore said it.

Everyone also gave them applause, and Professor Flitwick also received congratulations from the professors.

Dumbledore was still standing among the guests of honor, smiling and watching the excitement in the auditorium.

After calming down, he smiled, raised his eyebrows, and said:

"Although everyone has applauded from Ravenclaw, this score is not their final score yet! There are still some things that need to be calculated."

Everyone looked at Dumbledore, including the professors.

Dumbledore looked at Gryffindor and said:

"10 points. That's pretty good! I was originally worried about whether Gryffindor's score would get back to normal at the end of the semester?"

As soon as this came out, everyone laughed.

"I would also like to thank everyone for their help to Gryffindor. I know that many young wizards have given them their own scoring opportunities."

"Your professors have all seen it!"

"Added 5 points for your noble character of sympathizing with and helping the weak!"

Applause rang out again, Hufflepuff smiled, Ravenclaw looked indifferent, and the Slytherins snorted arrogantly, raising the corners of their mouths.

Later, Dumbledore turned some of the achievements of the Demon Research Laboratory into points and added them to each school.

Lily alone added more than 50 points to Gryffindor.

Finally, with some manipulations by Principal Dumbledore, Gryffindor's score finally broke through 100 and reached three digits, which was no longer so ugly.

Initially, Slytherin felt that he still had a chance to surpass Ravenclaw in this aspect.

However, their main points, Severus and Ralph, are in the same group.

Moreover, Pandora and Lily are in the same team, and Pandora naturally gets the points that Lily gets.

This time they were made to lie flat.

The one-night carnival started like this, and everyone started to move.

Everyone chatted enthusiastically, talking about the past, the present, and thinking about the future, as if everyone had a beautiful and bright future.

The professors' words were much simpler, talking about their teaching experience, their best students, or bragging about their past achievements.

Only Filch was watching all this excitement quietly.

Even after becoming a wizard, he seemed to be an outsider, as lonely as ever.

Looking at the happy children, he completely lost the idea of ​​punishing them.

….

He had imagined countless times that after becoming a wizard, he would catch these noisy students and punish them severely.

But now, he couldn't think of anything at all, as if he had lost his dream, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

He looked absently at the Gryffindor table in front of him.

As if aware of his gaze, James looked at Filch.

Filch noticed his gaze and gave him an ugly smile.

This made James stunned for a moment, and then he smiled back at Filch. His tutor was pretty good.

Afterwards, James quickly turned his head and told his companions about the incredible experience just now.

Filch felt even more confused. Even James couldn't make him think about punishing them.

Suddenly, a big hand patted his shoulder. He turned around and saw that it was Dumbledore.

"Come on, Argus, have a drink and don't be so depressed. Today is a good day. Everyone has time to plan their vacation. Don't tie yourself to the castle..."

In this way, Filch was pulled up by Dumbledore inexplicably, and he listened to a lot of chicken soup and drank several glasses of wine.

Filch returned to his seat, feeling a little dazed.

Sensing that the four Gryffindor troublemakers were looking over, he still smiled in return.

Ignoring their astonishment, Filch raised his glass, drank his drink, and hummed a tune.

"Argus, stop humming, it's so unpleasant."

"Hey, okay, Madam Pomfrey."

The night passed like this.

Quietly, everyone's wardrobes were empty and things were packed into suitcases.

At the same time, transcripts and notifications were sent to everyone.

The notice stated that they were prohibited from using magic during the holidays.

But seeing this, William immediately let out a wail, and Claude and Daniel also looked unhappy.

There's no reason why you shouldn't let others use magic after you learn it!

Then everyone looked at the transcript.

There is no doubt that the first place in the first grade is Ralph, who won the crown with all O's.

In the lower right corner of o, the specific results of these subjects are also written.

It's a pity that Ralph's History of Magic did not reach the perfect score of 100, only 98.

He recalled on the spot that he seemed to have confused the devil Emeric and the weirdo Ulric.

The roommates all felt sorry for him.

Others' scores were also good, with all O's at the bottom.

Crowder received a perfect score in the history of magic, and herbal medicine had a score of 99, which was only one point short of a perfect score.

William's score on magic spells is pretty good, with 98 points. If he hadn't forgotten the existence of the [Repair Spell], he would probably have added another 5 points.

Daniel's best score was Potions, with a perfect score; followed by History of Magic, with a score of 99.

Looking at the report card, Ralph and his dormitory easily occupied the top ten, and Ralph and Claude occupied the first and second positions.

Third place belongs to Barty Jr. The only thing he lags behind Ralph and the others is the potion score, but he also has an o rating.

They found that the difference in the total scores of the top 30 was very small, and several scores overlapped.

But this is already the result of the second review by professors.

The first time they graded papers, they still maintained their previous idea of ​​giving the students as much time as possible.

….

When counting scholarships, this leads to a serious shortage of scholarships.

For this reason, Professor McGonagall quickly called everyone and held a meeting to correct the test paper again.

They decided to use the theoretical exams as a scoring component and to correct them with a rigorous attitude.

Before long, Ralph and the others picked up their luggage and ran to the auditorium.

Everyone lined up and headed towards the Black Lake under the leadership of Hagrid.

There, they saw Professor Gladier, who had disappeared for a long time.

If the professors hadn't announced many times that Professor Gladier had just resigned early, they would have thought that something had happened to him.

Professor Gladier submitted his resignation one month in advance.

However, he submitted it under the pressure of Professor Flitwick, otherwise, he planned to continue teaching.

After he resigned, the Defense Against the Dark Arts course was taught by each dean on a rotating basis.

Sometimes, Madam Pomfrey would also step in and provide magical medical treatment to everyone.

To the shock of the professors, Madam Pomfrey seemed to have successfully taught herself medicine in the Muggle world.

And take out some of the more practical ones and teach them to students.

For these reasons, the Defense Against the Dark Arts exams are only written exams, with no practical exercises.

Senior students have long been used to it.

After getting on the boat, everyone arrived at the station opposite.

Ralph got on the Hogwarts Express and watched the scenery outside the window go into the distance.

chatting,

Some parting sadness surrounds it.

Under the laughter, it seemed a little insignificant.

The train passed through Muggle towns one after another.

The little wizards took off their wizard robes and put on their own clothes.

Finally, the train stopped at platform nine and three-quarters of King's Cross Station.

Ralph and the others were not in a hurry and waited in the car for a while before getting off.

A wizened old guard guarded the partition wall, allowing only two or three people to pass at a time.

Because this way there won't be a lot of people showing up at the same time, attracting the attention of Muggles.

After a few people came out, Ralph was surprised to find that Aberforth and Froome were actually here to pick him up.

And they dress quite similar to Muggles.

At this time, I was chatting with several parents.

After walking over, they discovered that their parents were gathered together.

After receiving their children, the adults chatted with each other for a few words and then parted ways.

Soon, only Ralph, Aberforth and the Froomes were left.

It was a bit uncomfortable for a while.

"How do we leave? Drive?"

Ralph looked at them doubtfully.

"How clever, Ralph."

Grandma Bonnie touched Ralph's head and said with a smile.

"Can you still drive?"

Ralph looked surprised.

"I don't know how, but Aberforth and Ambrosio do."

Several people walked and chatted until they arrived at the place where they parked their cars.

Getting in the car, Aberforth drove and Ralph sat in the passenger seat.

Mr. and Mrs. Froome sat in the back.

They did not go back immediately, but went to the Ministry of Magic first to visit Buchanan and give him some things.

….

On the way in the car, they asked about Ralph's grades.

Of course, Ralph told the truth, and everyone looked at Ralph with relief.

It seems that their childhood education was not wrong.

In recent years, there have been only three children in Hogsmeade, Buchanan, Emily and Ralph.

Under their education methods, the final results were pretty good.

At least they have never been bullied in school, and no one dares to bully them.

Especially Emily, even though she was so gentle and sweet in the Three Broomsticks bar.

However, many old students know how scary she is.

Especially on the Quidditch field, as a batsman, she once had the achievement of punching a big hole in the auditorium of the Quidditch field.

Arriving outside the Ministry of Magic, there was an old red phone box.

Ralph watched as they deftly dialed "."

After explaining their purpose, the phone box sank and they went directly to the Auror office.

As soon as they saw Buchanan, the Frums hugged him.

Grandma Bonnie even pulled Buchanan to look around, for fear that he might be injured.

On the side, Aberforth and Ralph explained.

Recently, gangsters who call themselves "Death Eaters" have become more and more rampant.

They violated the Statute of Secrecy and attacked Muggles near some wizarding villages.

Some Muggles are tortured to the point of insanity and have no choice but to disappear from their original world forever.

Buchanan's team was sent out to investigate and was attacked.

The newspaper reported that there were only minor injuries. The Frums were worried, so they came over to take a look and gave him some armor they had made by themselves.
