Chapter 405: End-of-Year Banquet

The Wei Silai twins got good news from Sean.

Throughout the entire end-of-year banquet, they hummed little tunes, occasionally popping half their heads out from behind portraits, scaring night-wandering students.

The end-of-year banquet soon became the thing young wizards cared about most, despite various rumors flying around before, such as the Alchemy Assembly, the good-luck black cat, and Sineipu assassinating Qiluo...

But when the school year was about to end, students were still more concerned about the final results of the year.

Individual honors were nothing to discuss. After all, no one could surpass Mr. Green, unless you got 121 points on a 120-point test.

But collective honor—the House Cup—became the thing everyone talked about most.

The day before the end-of-year banquet.

The castle began to get lively, and the professors began to decorate the Great Hall.

Professor Fuliwei took the field himself, and behind him was his proudest student, Sean Green.

Everyone knew this.

The Great Hall was decorated with the blue and bronze colors representing Ravenclaw to celebrate their winning the House Cup championship. On the wall behind the high table hung a huge banner painted with a Ravenclaw eagle.

At this moment, Professor Fuliwei was pulling Sean to put some Ravenclaw decorations in the Great Hall.

"Dear Mr. Green, it's really not easy, Ravenclaw hasn't won the House Cup championship for a long time..."

Professor Fuliwei said in a high-pitched voice, and even wiped away tears.

The Ravenclaws behind him were more or less embarrassed.

The little eagles didn't care that much about collective honor, so although they had good strength, in the end, it was always the more combative Gryffindor and the unscrupulous Slytherin who won the championship.

Today's Great Hall was quieter than usual, and the Slytherins tried their best to stay away from the Great Hall; they were already full of anger.

As for Gryffindor, their atmosphere was very strange.

After the exams, Luo En hadn't stopped describing the "great achievements" of himself, Harry, Xiang Hemin, and others.

In the past, the Gryffindors led by Ximo were still happy to listen. After all, he spoke with cadence, and in this Hogwarts where rumors were flying, it was a good story.

But now...

Outside the Great Hall, Sean had just escaped.

Professor Fuliwei was too happy; he would even take the initiative to talk to Professor Maige.

"Yes, Minerva, did you know that we achieved a good score of 511 points?

It's really gratifying, even in the entire history of Hogwarts, it's a good score.

This is all thanks to dear Mr. Green..."

As he spoke, he would stop himself because he noticed that his old friend of many years beside him was already forcing a smile.

And before everything happened, Sean had already escaped.

He walked out of the Great Hall, and everywhere there were Ravenclaws greeting him.

"Sean, I said you are Ravenclaw's savior."

Michael was always exaggerated.

"Mr. Green, thank you for your contribution."

Prefect Peneluo was in high spirits, and she walked past Sean with a clatter.

Sean nodded to acknowledge the greeting. He scanned the corridor casually and saw that Luo En and the others seemed to have bad complexions, and beside them was a group of Gryffindors with equally bad complexions.

"Wei Silai, stop lying! What Forbidden Forest story, trapdoor, I think it's Merlin's blessing that you weren't caught and had points deducted!"

Dean roared in a low voice.

"Gryffindor only has 250 points! Merlin's beard—we have never had such a low score!"

Ximo glared at the few.

Think about it, Gryffindor should have had 550 points!

If they had won the Quidditch match and hadn't had 150 points deducted by Harry and the others.

At this moment, Luo En was still talking about things like the trapdoor, baseless things, and they couldn't listen anymore.

"It's true..."

Luo En could only mutter in a low voice.

He couldn't refute, because they had indeed lost a lot of points, and they had also failed in Quidditch.

Harry was even more ashamed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, and even Xiang Hemin's face didn't look much better.

In fact, she had already heard too much gossip.

Even though the points she added herself exceeded 50, the Gryffindors wouldn't care about this.

Deducting points always left a deeper impression on them than adding points.

Sean walked over from a distance, and Ximo and the others snorted coldly and left, which relieved the pressure on the few.

"Don't worry, maybe there will be a surprise."

Sean comforted.

"What other surprise could there be?"

Luo En said with a mournful face.

The end-of-year banquet began.

When entering the Great Hall, the cautious Harry and the others ran into the Slytherins.

They were originally irritable, but when they saw Harry and the others, they happily applauded:

"Potter, thank you for letting Gryffindor get such a low score, perhaps the lowest in years? Haha—"

"In a few weeks, they will forget all about this. Fred and George have been losing points since they enrolled, and people still like them very much."

Luo En's face was ugly, but he still comforted him.

"But they have never lost 150 points all at once, have they?"

Harry said sadly.

"Um—that's true."

Luo En admitted.

The Great Hall was noisy, with all kinds of delicacies piled together.

Jia Siting was sharing some tips on food magic with Sean, and Sean listened very carefully.

Subsequently, the three of them sneaked into the Great Hall.

Seeing them sitting at the Ravenclaw long table, the Gryffindors who never cared about this were particularly irritable today.

Fortunately, a moment later, Dumbledore also arrived, and the noise in the Great Hall gradually subsided.

"Another year has passed!"

Dumbledore said cheerfully,

"Before enjoying these delicacies to the fullest, I must trouble everyone to listen to an old man's clichés. What a wonderful year this has been! Your little brains must be richer than in the past...

The whole summer vacation is waiting for you ahead, allowing you to digest those things well before the next semester starts, and make some room in your brains...

Now, as far as I know, we must first conduct the House Cup award ceremony. The specific scores of each house are as follows:

Fourth place, Gryffindor, 250 points; third place, Hufflepuff, 352 points; second place, Slytherin, 452 points; first place, Ravenclaw, 511 points."

A reserved cheer and applause erupted at the Ravenclaw table. ===== CHAPTER 406 =====
