Chapter 348 End of Fourth Grade
Dumbledore announced briskly.
"Now, we have to start the awards ceremony for the House Cup. Let me announce the scores of each house—"
"Fourth place, Hufflepuff, four hundred and twenty-six points."
The Hufflepuff badgers and Professor Sprout didn't care.
Snakes and lions are too curly, they are used to it.
Although the college often ranks at the bottom, it does not prevent them from being proud of every student in their college!
Dumbledore's eyes swept across them, catching Cedric in his sight, but he didn't look at him any further.
The Triwizard Tournament.
When I am actually experiencing this year, I can’t help but sigh when I see that everything is completely different.
Fortunately, there was no first casualty of the war.
There would be no black draperies of mourning draped across the walls of Hogwarts.
There are no warriors, no glory, but it is peaceful.
This is enough.
"Third place, Ravenclaw, 477 points."
At the long table of Ravenclaw, some students still had unwilling looks on their faces, but there was nothing they could do.
Dumbledore then looked at Slytherin, smiling as he continued reading.
"Second place, Slytherin, four hundred and ninety-two points."
Without temporary extra points, the college cup will naturally follow the scoring machine in the lobby.
Alison's reaction was flat, she was absent-minded. She had never been interested in childish games like the House Cup.
The little Slytherin snakes looked at Gryffindor, who was suppressing his excitement, with complicated expressions, some envy and some disdain.
Second place again...
Being suppressed by the stupid lions.
Although being second is not shameful, it is no honor either!
The main reason is that the Quidditch team is not strong enough.
Seeker Malfoy was indeed talented, but he was still a little behind Potter and was defeated again.
Potter is like a Quidditch cheat, Merlin's pants! - Although the protagonist halo of some people didn't work, it was obvious that their Quidditch talent was still in full play.
Professor Slughorn, the head of Slytherin, was not partial to his own house like Professor Snape. Instead, he quite liked Potter and the Mudblood Granger, and always gave Gryffindor many points.
Dumbledore finally turned his gaze towards the Gryffindor table.
"First place, Gryffindor, five hundred and thirteen points."
The Gryffindor table finally burst into long-held cheers.
The students, with red faces, cheered and whistled. The little lions hugged each other excitedly and patted each other on the back, their faces filled with pride and joy.
Startled by the sudden outburst of noise, Alison glanced over there unhappily, feeling that those stupid lions were making as much noise as if they had reverted to their ancient ways.
She thought they should find some trees, stay under them, and put more fruit on the table…
As the main contributor to the victory of the Quidditch match, Harry, who caught the Golden Snitch and ended the game in a short time, was obviously the focus of attention, and the little lions gathered around him.
Alison's aimless gaze caught sight of a pretty girl with lighter skin and slightly darker eye sockets.
"..."
Just from a distance you can smell the rich aroma of curry.
Having an Asian wizard in the school was the most she could accept.
If the portal is really to be opened to the whole world, she won't have to go to India too, right...?
Damn it, don't even think about it!
Although there were many perverts in Europe, and she had even seen a system called THAAD in a certain gaming world - the "S" in S was the source of that - but India was just a colony and was not worthy of dirtying her land!
Without a well-known systematic magic school, the European wizarding world does not think highly of such family settlements - in Africa, which is also a colony, because of the Wagadou School, the ancient Egyptian magic heritage and several large wizarding communities, the European wizarding world attaches more importance to this.
The Ganges water contains half of the periodic table of elements, and there are strong Bengal monitor lizards and exhaust pipes, making it difficult for all creatures with holes to escape the special product of Asan...
……grass.
Sometimes, Alison felt that her racism was quite serious.
It was fine for her to just watch it normally, but when it came to her having to come into contact with certain ethnic groups and countries, she felt that it was totally impossible for her to accept it...
Instead of suffering and wasting your own energy, it is better to go crazy and waste others' energy.
There is no need to be too normal.
Alison looked away and silently sentenced the Asan guys to death.
Not just the wizarding world.
The deployment of portals in the wizarding world is just a preliminary plan. In the future, there will be global supernatural powers and a global village...
This death penalty refers to everything that comes after it.
Until the Ganges water pollution becomes clean and Asan becomes capable of doing human work, she doesn’t want to play with such people.
In the faculty seats, Dumbledore looked a little happy, seemingly because his own college had won first place again.
He shouted loudly against the backdrop of the golden and red lion emblem, in order to be heard over the Gryffindors who were cheering and stomping their feet in excitement.
“It looks like our auditorium’s decor doesn’t need to change!”
The Gryffindors cheered even louder, and everyone seemed to be trying to tear the clouds off the ceiling.
The farewell dinner still tastes good.
Some people even lamented that the wizards from other schools would leave next school year and they would not be able to eat these specially prepared foreign delicacies.
Alison served a bowl of bouillabaisse.
Several different medium-sized fish were neatly arranged in a milky white soup with some green vegetables...
Well, it’s quite delicious.
Even the white eyeballs of the dead fish in the soup are still staring at people as if they were dead.
After dinner, the students of Hogwarts would crowd in the entrance hall as usual, waiting for the Thestrals to come and take them to the station.
The students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were also leaving, and they said goodbye to the familiar animals from Hogwarts, with some reluctance on their faces.
After all, we have been together for almost a school year, eating together and attending classes together.
Furong hesitated for a moment, shaking her long silver hair that looked like a waterfall, and came over to give Alison a hug.
"...?!"
Alison didn't expect the French guy to give her a goodbye hug. After hesitating for a moment, she hugged him back.
Furong smiled brightly, extremely beautiful but also with her usual arrogance.
"I'll always remember how you messed up the Triwizard Tournament - I look forward to seeing you next time!"
That doesn't really sound like a compliment.
The little red-haired wizard raised her eyebrows, looked at the Frenchman and hugged her like crazy, then hurried back to Madame Maxime.
Madame Maxime reluctantly exchanged a few words with Dumbledore, then boarded the carriage with the students of Beauxbatons.
And the Dumbledore family of three...
Amid the somewhat shocked gazes of the surrounding young wizards, he boarded Durmstrang's ship.
Judging from Kraft's respectful but not surprised expression, it was obvious that they had discussed it privately a long time ago.
……
It was a large, shiny ship that had been gnawed by time and looked like a skeleton. It was moored at an angle by the Black Lake, like a sleeping monster stranded on a shallow beach.
Walking around the boat, Alison could see brown moss and white stains of sea salt peeking through the cracks in the deck, and she could smell the salty smell of the railings where ropes were wrapped around them.
Over there, after counting the number of people on the boat, Kraft used the Flying Spell to make the iron anchor fixed in the shallow water break through the water and return to the boat it was attached to after seven months.
Durmstrang's big ship is really interesting. It is obviously a ship, but these people use it as a submarine.
The oil lamp in the string window was lit, emitting a misty dim light - because the ship would be diving underwater for a long time, even though it was a sunny summer afternoon, the lights had to be lit in advance.
Dumbledore and Grindelwald ignored the curious little wizard and climbed up the dark wooden stairs to the observation deck.
The narrow cabin door creaked behind them, bringing with it a breeze filled with the scent of pine resin.
The Triwizard Tournament had been suspended for several centuries, and Grindelwald was not very familiar with the small, broken ship used by his alma mater for travel. He only knew that it existed.
Rubbing against the rough railing, the two men looked out.
From this angle, you can clearly see the Hogwarts castle, the surrounding Black Lake meadow, and the innocent and surprised faces of the children in the entrance hall...
Beside them, the Kelpie raised its tentacles in a friendly manner, creating a splash of water. The mermaid also poked her head out of the water to look around, waved to Dumbledore, and said goodbye in mermaid language for the old headmaster's rare trip out of town.
Dumbledore also made the sharp and piercing sound of a merman on the water, bidding farewell to the rough and ferocious-looking mermen in the Black Lake.
Alison is exploring.
There was a faint smell of fish on the deck.
Maybe you go fishing often on the road.
There was a young Durmstrang wizard nearby who had put on his thick fur cloak again and began to kindly introduce Miss Grindelwald.
"Miss, you'd better wear more clothes, because it will be cold when you get to the bottom of the water. The weather in Durmstrang is also colder, but the gentlemen have probably prepared clothes for you... The ship will be sailing for about a week. In addition to the vegetables, fruits and meats temporarily borrowed from the Hogwarts kitchen, there are only fresh fish caught every day. If you are interested, you can get up early and watch everyone casting nets to catch fish."
Little Kraft also came over to keep them company, a corner of his bloody school uniform occasionally showing mischievously from under his fur cloak.
He listed all the fun things around him and said with a smile, "It's a pity that it's summer vacation now. If it were a month earlier, we would often fly around the outdoor fields in the summer, flying over the lake and mountains, and even further to the sea - the grounds of Durmstrang are more spacious than Hogwarts."
"Besides, Northern Europe is a good place to escape the summer heat. It's not as humid and hot as Western Europe. There are lakes in the mountains where you can go diving and fishing is also good. There is also a reserve for Norwegian Ridgeback dragons in the south, which is not too far away. Because they teach dark magic, Durmstrang's castle has extra protection against dark magic, which is difficult to blow up - well, I've been trying."
His companion raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and looked at him with a hint of surprise and teasing: "So those rumors in the school are true? I heard that Professor Victor has been keeping an eye on you for a long time, but still found nothing."
Little Kraft rested his arm on the railing and said casually, "I just wanted to study the defensive spell... but I didn't get caught by the professors."
"Heinshili, I know what you usually do in school! Stop chatting with the young lady and get on the boat!"
Kraft's rough roar exploded not far away. Little Kraft shrugged his shoulders, showing a clever expression as if he was caught by his parents, but he still walked over obediently and entered the captain's room.
Soon, the ship was covered with an arc-shaped membrane, blocking the lake water outside, and gradually sank to the bottom of the lake, trying to reach Northern Europe through underground.
The lake water was surging, rippling, and making some dull noises. A huge whirlpool gradually rose above the mast as heavy objects were pressed into the water.
It's a bit like the water dungeon curse.
