For this, I award Gryffindor House fifty points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Sherlock, Hermione, and Ron, Dumbledore didn't specify what Harry had done, instead summarizing with \"fearless courage and exceptional bravery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was quite normal, since Voldemort's involvement hadn't been made public, so Quirrell had to bear this burden alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since his days were numbered anyway, he presumably wouldn't mind such things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For others, this wasn't important—they didn't care what Harry had actually done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Dumbledore's earlier setup and this description, they began freely imagining, mentally filling in spectacular scenes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lion King!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Boy Who Lived!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lion King!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Boy Who Lived!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lion King and The Boy Who Lived!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lion King and The Boy Who Lived!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chanting grew louder and more unified, as if it would break through the Great Hall's roof and soar to the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone stood outside the Great Hall now, they might think an explosion had occurred inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially at the Gryffindor table, waves of triumphant celebration rose higher and higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were loudly cheering for the little lions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry, Hermione, and Ron—the three protagonists—all stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Sherlock remained seated, steady as a rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn't stay steady for long, as the frenzied little lions swarmed over and embraced him tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four were quickly swallowed by the excited crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In stark contrast to the jubilant Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff houses, almost everyone at the Slytherin table wore dark expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How high-profile they'd been before, that's how dejected they were now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smugness had vanished, replaced by endless depression and frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the first-year students looked shocked and panicked, completely wearing the dead-fish faces of those hit by a Full Body-Bind Curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Prefect Gemma Farley and a few others who hadn't been arrogant earlier maintained their previous composed demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least they managed to preserve some dignity for Slytherin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, after Dumbledore used his headmaster's authority to add a full two hundred points to Gryffindor, Gryffindor jumped from last place to first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that wasn't all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This means...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Dumbledore had to cast a Sonorus Charm on himself to suppress the massive cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His booming voice carried throughout the Great Hall: \"...we need to make some small changes to the decorations here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, as he waved his wand, the entire Great Hall's decorations changed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green and silver hanging banners turned red and gold in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant Slytherin serpent disappeared, replaced by a majestic Gryffindor lion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Students from Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff excitedly gathered together, cheering loudly and dancing with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For them, seeing Slytherin—on the verge of a seventh consecutive championship—suffer such a dramatic reversal at the crucial moment was absolutely delightful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little lions, eagles, and badgers freely released their inner joy and excitement, as if venting years of suppressed frustration under Slytherin's dominance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Sherlock, who usually didn't care much about such things, smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to put it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to green and silver, red and gold were indeed more beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked toward Professor Snape again, finding him shaking hands with Professor McGonagall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to McGonagall's genuine smile, Snape's smile seemed somewhat awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one cared about such details anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People sang, danced, and celebrated freely, turning the Great Hall into an ocean of joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the Gryffindor students—Dumbledore's last-minute maneuver had turned the graduation ceremony into the little lions' festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seventh-year students were particularly excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For them, this was their last major group activity at Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though some students might be busy with graduation exams, job hunting, or other personal matters, most had unhesitatingly made time to attend this ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was because they knew clearly that this would be their last chance to create complete, beautiful memories at Hogwarts—they didn't want to leave any regrets in their school life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren't disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After six consecutive years under Slytherin's boot, they could finally hold their heads high at the last moment before leaving school, truly experiencing the feeling of serfs singing liberation songs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With their departure from school, the story of the \"Lion King and The Boy Who Lived\" quickly spread through Hogwarts' alumni circles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seventh-year students who couldn't attend the graduation ceremony deeply regretted missing this news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what was done was done—nothing could be said about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life had to go on, and they could only carry their blessings for the two young wizards as they threw themselves into their careers and lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after the graduation ceremony banquet ended, final exam results were also announced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any suspense, Hermione took first place in their year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry and Ron also passed their exams with high scores, ranking near the top of their class—a result that surprised them both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had originally thought they would stumble in one or two subjects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seamus and Dean, who were close to them, also performed adequately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Neville barely scraped by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly because he lost major points in Potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his excellent Herbology grade compensated for this shortcoming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the most surprising was still Sherlock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grades in Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, and Herbology were all \"Outstanding\" (O).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were just this, it would be fine—after all, Hermione's grades in all subjects were \"Outstanding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to rumors circulating among students, Sherlock's scores in these subjects were actually higher than Hermione's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone knew, rumors were often more reliable than official news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was extremely impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other subjects aside, Professor Flitwick had secretly told Hermione that she scored one hundred and twelve percent on the Charms exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those twelve points were bonus points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This suggested that Hermione's scores in other subjects wouldn't be bad either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now Sherlock was stronger than her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn't this mean he was like this in every subject?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, while Sherlock performed so impressively in these subjects, he only received \"Acceptable\" (A) ratings in Defense Against the Dark Arts, History of Magic, and Astronomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just barely passing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The precise scores seemed calculated in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, his ranking fell behind Hermione's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But relying solely on the subjects where he earned \"Outstanding,\" his overall performance still ranked near the top of the year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left Hogwarts professors deeply regretful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The professors responsible for those subjects wanted to have a special talk with Sherlock, asking whether they had taught poorly or if there were other reasons for his selective performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were stopped by Dumbledore, who gave sincere advice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My suggestion is not to go—if you don't want to get angry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Quirrell didn't need persuading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had already left and would never return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The professors listened to the advice and didn't approach Sherlock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the 1991-1992 school year finally ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Lion King and The Boy Who Lived had to return to the world without magic at this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the last day at school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[NO MAGIC IS TO BE USED DURING THE HOLIDAYS]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I keep hoping they'll forget to give us these.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fred Weasley held the notice just distributed, looking regretful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if they forgot, Percy would stop us from doing it—don't forget, he's a prefect... Ow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the two were speaking carelessly, Percy appeared from somewhere and kicked George to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not just a prefect—I'm your brother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, he looked down at the prefect badge on his chest, finding it even more brilliant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Percy stride away with his head held high, George sat on the ground rubbing his backside, complaining:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know what's wrong with him, but he's becoming more and more like the old bat, appearing and disappearing mysteriously all day...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fred reached out to pull his brother up: \"No worries, the summer holiday is long—you'll have plenty of time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>British summer holidays differed from winter holidays, lasting from June to September, making them particularly long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once back home, with the twins' mischievous nature, they'd always find opportunities to deal with Percy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, what if he was their brother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, what if he was a prefect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We're hitting brothers (prefects)!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two brothers exchanged glances, a cunning gleam flashing in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry and Ron were nearby, finding this scene amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, Neville grabbed Sherlock's hand with tears in his eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sherlock, Trevor's missing again—you have to help me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Neville, how many times is this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Sherlock could speak, Hermione was already covering her face with her hand: \"Every time you come crying to Sherlock as if he took your toad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, but... only Sherlock in the entire school can help me find Trevor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neville hung his head, his voice carrying a hint of tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione: (╬◣д◢)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes, after all, he's Hogwarts' great detective Holmes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the aggrieved Neville, Hermione looked helplessly at Sherlock: \"Detective, where is Neville's toad this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock examined Neville twice, then directly entered questioning mode: \"When did you discover the toad was missing this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When the exam results came out, it was still with me...\" Neville stammered as he recalled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock nodded, just about to go through the usual process when a clear girl's voice came from nearby:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Granger!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione turned to see her roommate Parvati Patil and her twin sister Padma Patil from Ravenclaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beautiful twin sisters walked toward them arm in arm, shoulder to shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Granger, I heard Mr. Longbottom's toad is missing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Parvati Patil spoke while glancing at the anxious Neville with her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From the looks of it, he's planning to ask Holmes for help?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione nodded helplessly.
