This is what Ravenclaw looks like..

Chapter 126 Before Summer Vacation

"Thank you, Minister Fudge, for taking the time to attend this end-of-year banquet," Dumbledore said with a kind smile and a friendly tone, "but before the award ceremony of the House Cup, I would like to do the final score calculation."

???

Not only a scholarship, but also this?
Andrew understood what Dumbledore meant almost instantly, and his eyes turned uncontrollably towards Gryffindor - the recalculation of scores was aimed at Gryffindor's almost shabby way of doing things next semester!

This is not a scholarship, but the most effective attack on Gryffindor!
No matter how the scores of other houses are calculated, Gryffindor is destined not to get first place, and it will be just a little bit short, it seems that it can get there if it has fewer violations!

Only in this way would Gryffindor treat those house points more carefully in the future - if no one said anything, they would even collectively condemn the guys who had too many points deducted tonight.

Is this the principal's ability?
Horror!
The seventh year graduation is not counted, the sixth year is almost evenly divided, the fifth year and the first year Gryffindor basically took all, the third year Hufflepuff took all, the second year is also evenly divided among the three, the fourth year Nancy lost three first places, including myself... forget it, there is no need, it doesn't matter whether I add it or not...

It all depends on how the headmaster gives the points - Quidditch players have been given too many points, and this time they will be given glory points, which means that the winner of this house cup will be selected between Slytherin and their own house!

Wait - Headmaster, don't trick me. If Slytherin gets it and Gryffindor is one subject short of a score, what will Professor McGonagall think?
Andrew still remembers Professor McGonagall saying that she deducted one point from Miss Granger because of his paper - although the professor is very open-minded, it is better not to do such things...

But Dumbledore was far more skilled than Andrew thought - with a bunch of old headmasters as a reference group, the probability of mistakes was too low.

After the score addition, Gryffindor was still some distance away from Slytherin, but it surpassed Ravenclaw to become second.

"Slytherin's victory is unquestionable—"

Dumbledore's tone remained unchanged, still very kind, "With the support of the Ministry of Magic, we will continue to use the awarding and bonus rules of this time. So - let's start the dinner."

Now that everything that needs to be done has been done, it’s time to establish the rules—the gap is big enough but not despairing enough, and it’s still a strong enough spur, and it will make people believe that this rule is not special.

The fearful Slytherins began to cheer as if they had won a battle, while the Gryffindors' faces were filled with dissatisfaction and regret - why didn't you announce the extra points earlier? We would have been first with fewer points deducted!

But it was no use, the banquet was still held amid the cheers of Slytherin.

If there was one thing Andrew remembered vividly, it was probably that he was fed large amounts of pistachio-flavored ice cream.

But it was different at night - Andrew didn't know about other lounges, but the Ravenclaw prefect was furious.

"You're said to be smart, but you can't even get first place in a single subject! Don't tell me the relationship between interest development and exam content! I won't listen to that. I don't require all-round development. You just need to get first place in a single subject!"

"Especially the third and fifth graders, how did you do it! Forget about getting first place in the total score. How about getting first place in a single subject, even in one subject? Take first place in the subject that you are interested in! At least don't let others take all the places - don't give me excuses about exams and interests anymore, and get me a house cup next year!"

"I have discussed this with the professor. From today on, two separate bathrooms will be separated from the lounge for use by students who have topped their subjects. Special sleeping bags will also be provided outside the lounge door!"

"If we can win the trophy next year, each person can choose 20 Galleons for each book of their choice, and the bill will be charged to the college. If not, you can choose 10 Galleons. If you exceed the limit, you will pay for it yourself - the bill will be paid after the start of the next semester this year."

The new sixth-year prefects were blocking the main aisle, fighting at full capacity - it was clear that Professor Flitwick did have ideas about the House Cup.

It's not just the professors, the students are obviously eager to try as well. If they can't pass the overall exam, they really can't pass it, but for individual subjects... they can still try. Unless they don't want to be the first in the overall score, they will have to allocate time to each subject. This is where the opportunity lies.

-

In the Gryffindor common room next door, the Gryffindors lowered their heads, not daring to look at their prefects.

Even the twins had to admit that Percy tried his best - but he just couldn't catch up. They squandered too many points, and this advantage would be mostly gone next year.

It is obviously impossible for Percy to take all the first places in the sixth grade. After re-selecting courses, students who give up some courses will devote a lot of time to their strong subjects. At that time, Percy will be considered a success if he can keep the first place in three or four subjects.

Fortunately, we have Granger, but as for the seventh graders - don't count on them, they will be gone next year.

If we take away the points deducted this year... um...

Well, even without counting the points deducted by Snape, it is still enough to be the champion, and I don’t even need extra points.

After a simple calculation, everyone looked at each other and then dispersed.

I have to be more restrained next year - why didn't I calculate it before...

-

"hiss…"

"hiss…"

When the results were announced, Fred and George looked at each other and clearly heard the sound of each other inhaling.

What does this T mean?
This is an unprecedented result - but no matter how you look at it, it is not a good score.

Fortunately, some knowledgeable people popularized it in time - it is the lowest grade among the scores of O (excellent), E (good), A (pass), P (poor), D (very bad), and T (extremely bad), which is one level lower than the common D, which means extremely bad.

"Will you be killed when you get home?"

"Definitely. Especially when Percy's report card gets sent back."

They might be the only ones who are not happy with Percy's grades - they will be scolded for this when they go back, and they will be scolded again after the report card is sent to them to consolidate their memory...

"I hope Ron fails the exam."

"Same."

The two began to make wishes.

Unfortunately it didn't work - because Ron got his grades almost at the same time as them, and the least he got was an A.

Although he had to endure Hermione's complaints as she stared at the string of Os on her report card, the string of Es had already shattered the twins' fantasies.

"Get ready to go home, Harry."

"Ah."

"Come see me during the holidays, you must come!"

"Thank you. I will."

"Where did I go wrong?"

...

...

Harry and Ron looked at each other and decided to play a game of chess.
