Chapter 98 Old Deng Extra Points
In the second week of June, the final exam results came out.

As expected, Ted was excellent in all subjects and ranked first in the grade. Hermione was second in the grade.

Harry's grades were also good, Jerry and Ron's were also beyond expectations, and even Neville's overall grades were above average, and he was one of only five outstanding students in Herbology.

Ron: "Did you see that? I got a good score too! Hahaha~"

Hermione: "So, if you study hard next school year, you can get an A."

Ron: "Jerry, Jerry, did you see that? You can get a good grade even if you copy homework, so why work so hard?!"

Jerry: "That makes sense, Ron!"

Hermione: "... (rolling eyes~)"

After Neville's scores came out, Dumbledore called him to the headmaster's office and began to explain "everything".

Dumbledore praised Neville's bravery and explained why Neville's hand turned Quirrell to ashes - an ancient magic cast by his mother at the cost of her life to protect Neville until adulthood - commonly known as the "Underage Neville Protection Act".

The reason why Dumbledore found Neville after two or three days was because he had been thinking about Neville's current situation and Ted...

Although Dumbledore seemed to ignore Neville before he entered school, that was not the case.

Dumbledore was the person who had personally experienced the "prophecy" and he had been silently paying attention to the condition of the boy who survived.

He originally thought that he might have to put in some effort to guide Neville to be brave and face his fate.

But unexpectedly, Neville has now shown many valuable qualities, including courage.

And the main reason was because of his friends, to be more precise, it was mostly because of Ted.

Ted's influence on Neville was too great, and this became a problem that Dumbledore had to consider.

If it was an ordinary little wizard, such as Ron, Harry, Hermione, or Jerry, Dumbledore would be happy to see Neville's friendship bond.

But Ted is different.

When Dumbledore first came into close contact with Ted outside the Room of Requirement during Christmas, he sensed something different about him.

Too mature, doesn't seem like a kid of this age at all.

The subsequent attention further proved the child’s talent.

When Dumbledore discovered that Ted had even started to create his own spells, he couldn't help but think of someone, the one on the back of Quirrell's head.

It was Dumbledore who brought little Tom to school.

Tom's behavior at the beginning was mature beyond his peers, and evil - bullying other orphans, stealing other people's belongings, and killing other people's pets.

He did all the evil that a child could do.

Dumbledore had used violence to fight violence - he had directly set fire to the large wardrobe where Tom had hidden other orphans' belongings, and intimidated him.

Although Tom said he "surrendered" at the time, Dumbledore was still bothered by what happened decades later - if he had been more patient and given correct guidance, would Voldemort have appeared?

Now, another orphan wizard has appeared. How should he guide him? How should he deal with the relationship between him and Neville?
Dumbledore himself hadn't thought it through yet.

Dumbledore also told Neville about the Philosopher's Stone and Voldemort.

"Niccolò Flamel, the owner of the Philosopher's Stone, has decided to destroy the stone."

Neville looked at Ted and narrated what Dumbledore said: "But if you and your friends are interested in it, I can introduce you to Nicolas Flamel."

It seems that, at least for now, Dumbledore is willing to treat Ted more gently.

Or is it a temptation?
Neville continued, "As for the You-Know-Who, Dumbledore said that even without the Philosopher's Stone, he would have other ways to revive. Our battle is not over yet." Ron's face fell when he heard this, and he touched his ankle involuntarily, as if the sprain from two days ago was still aching.

He said with a bitter face: "No way, he is still coming?!"

……

In the last few days, there are not many classes and the students are having a lot of fun.

This weekend is the last day for first graders in school, and they will leave school for the holiday tomorrow, Monday.

There is no holiday homework at Hogwarts.

On the night before leaving school, a farewell party, also called the "end-of-term dinner," is held in the school auditorium.

Have one last good meal, then go home and see your mother.

At the same time, this day is also the day when the College Cup is awarded.

The dinner started at five o'clock. The students filled the auditorium. The lights were bright and the place was bustling with people. Everyone was extremely excited and happy, calling their friends.

Dumbledore stood up from his seat and tapped the goblet with his fork: "Students, today is the last day of the school year. I wish you all a happy holiday. However, before we enjoy the delicious food, we have to present the house cup first!"

At this moment, among the four large hourglasses at the door, Ravenclaw had the most sand, a full 486 points!
Although all the points Ted added were deducted by Snape.

But there is Hermione~
Hermione is not in the Lion House now, so she gets extra points and no points are deducted. So she helped Ravenclaw win first place.

The second is Slytherin. They have Snape, a points-adding machine, and scored 472 points, not much behind Ravenclaw.

Third is Hufflepuff, with 368 points, far behind.

The last one is Gryffindor. It is common for them to lose points. They usually only reflect on it for a while on the last day of the house cup. 312 points.

Everyone was excited except the Slytherins.

Because of Snape, Slytherin has won the house cup for six consecutive years!
Today someone finally brought them down, so even Gryffindor and Hufflepuff were very happy.

Dumbledore looked at the scores and said, "The result is obvious, isn't it? But I think the scores of the last few days should also be counted..."

When Ted heard this, he immediately cursed in his heart: Old Deng, you have no shame!
Sure enough, Dumbledore said, "Just a few days ago, something very unusual happened. During this process, someone showed amazing wisdom, courage and noble qualities..."

"Mr. Ted Epifani defeated an unimaginably strong enemy and broke through many levels. Ravenclaw gets 50 points!"

Wow, wow, wow~ In an instant, the applause was like thunder!

Their experience that night had been spread through Ron's oral narration, and in just a few days, five or six different versions had emerged.

Its brilliance is comparable to the four great classics!
Now that the story has been officially certified, the enthusiasm of the little wizards suddenly exploded.

"Hermione Granger, for using wisdom and knowledge to complete the incomplete magic ritual, 50 points for Ravenclaw!"

There was another round of extremely enthusiastic applause!

Everyone looked at them.

Ted: Huh??? Are we also included in the bonus?

"Neville Longbottom, for facing a terrible enemy with unimaginable courage and showing amazing perseverance. Gryffindor gets 50 points!"

The applause became more intense, and some Gryffindor students even blew the hooligan whistle~
"Harry Potter, you have shown amazing courage and responsibility. 50 points to Gryffindor!"

Carnival~
