Chapter 259: School dinner

In the evening of the following day, while the setting sun was still hanging on the hillside, the last rays of the day were glowing, and the auditorium of Hogwarts Castle was already full of people.
To be honest, although Voldemort's attack was disturbing, Dumbledore used his strength to heal the fear and worry in the teachers and students of the three schools.
Coupled with the successful conclusion of the top three hegemony, everything seems to have restored its previous stability, at least on the surface.
After Dumbledore's discussions with the Ministry of Magic, the disappearance of Mad-Eye Moody, the professor of the Black Magic Defense class this school year, has not been made public. In the case of Voldemort's return, these means of maintaining stability are still necessary. .
In the last few days, the Minister of Magic, Fudge, had been to the school once. In addition to sending the prize money from the top three tournaments, the main thing was to discuss the return of Voldemort.
To be honest, Maca said that he was timid and afraid of things, and that was true.
In order to secure his seat, he still insisted on covering up the news of Voldemort's return to the public. The last time Maca had threatened him with Voldemort, but this time, Voldemort really appeared, which was too scary for him.
It was just that he was not afraid of losing his life, but of losing the post of Minister of Magic.
However, it may be because Maca had given him a vaccination shot earlier, or it may be that Dumbledore directly scared Voldemort away, at least this time he was quite calm.
But this time, the problem lies with Dumbledore.
For some reason, Dumbledore did not formulate any resistance measures against Voldemort's return, not even Fudge's ostrich policy.
Maintaining stability is important, but if Voldemort's problem is not completely solved, the stable social appearance will be fragile after all, and it is very likely that it will be broken in Voldemort's next attack.
However, at least for the moment, the atmosphere in the Hogwarts Auditorium was jubilant and delightful.
When Maca also entered the auditorium, he noticed at a glance that the usual decorations were missing.
The auditorium is usually decorated in the colors of the winning college at the departure banquet. Tonight, however, the flags of Hogwarts, Bootsbatton and Durmstrang were hung on the wall behind the staff table.
Obviously, this is to celebrate the successful conclusion of the top three hegemony competition, and it is also to show that the friendship between the three schools will never fade.
On the teaching faculty, most of the professors were smiling. Although this school year is indeed a setback, in general, being able to spend it safely is even a happy thing.
It was just on the long table of the teaching staff that there was one Alastormoudi missing.
Although it was announced to the students that Professor Moody's early departure, in the minds of the insiders, it was still slightly heavy.
As the representative of Demstrom, Professor Orson didn't seem to be in a good mood. He drunk alone and shook his head from time to time.
Mrs. Maxim was still sitting next to Hagrid.
On the same day, the two of them hurriedly left the auditorium and ran to the stadium to save Furong back. No one knows what happened during this time, but the relationship between them seems to be close. Hagrid has always stood by the door of the cabin and smirked. More than one student has seen it.
At this moment, they were talking about something quietly, and they seemed to be chatting happily.
At the table, sitting next to Professor McGonagall was Snape. The expression on his face was elusive, and he looked as gloomy as before, but occasionally glanced at Dumbledore, seemingly concerned about something.
Of course, Maca was not intentionally late, but he had a lot of things to sort out, so he had to postpone the dinner time slightly.
When he appeared at the entrance of the auditorium, many people looked at him.
"Uh……"
Marka noticed that Professor Orson's eyes looked at him ... it seemed a bit grieving!
"Maca! Sit here!"
He didn't expect anyone to invite him in public. When he looked in the direction of the sound, he saw that Hermione had stood up, not paying attention to the strange eyes of the others, and raised his chin and beckoned at him.
In front of the gate, Macarton glanced subconsciously at Ravenclaw's long table, and then stunned again. He was a little bit confused as to whether he should pass.
But Hermione beckoned again with a firm expression, motioning him to hurry.
Maca shrugged and walked towards the Gryffindor table.
"I said why do you have to keep this space ..." Ron couldn't help muttering.
Hermione's seat was right next to her. The meaning contained in it was self-evident. When Maca sat down beside her, almost everyone's eyes were nailed to him and Hermione.
Fortunately, although Hermione was tough, she could understand by just looking at her puffy face, her heart was not as indifferent as it appeared.
"Well ... good evening, everyone."
Maca glanced around, and where his eyes moved, the students would look away. When he twisted his head almost once, the surrounding atmosphere returned to the state he had before.
At least he can eat well. As for the others, he doesn't really care.
"Oh, right!" He just picked up the knife and fork, but looked up at Harry again. "Harry, congratulations on winning the top three, you did a great job!"
"Ah thank you!" Harry nodded, but somehow he found himself unhappy.
It's like ... Maca didn't win the championship, and even he was a little bit relieved.
The banquet is still going on. Everyone is holding a knife and fork to fight against delicious food. From time to time, they will chat softly and enjoy the last time of dining with students from the other two schools.
When the little wizards were almost eating, Professor Dumbledore suddenly stood up from the faculty table and looked at all the little wizards.
At this moment, the originally lively auditorium suddenly quieted down, and a pair of bright eyes looked at Dumbledore.
"It's another year," Dumbledore said, looking at everyone. "It's over."
He stopped talking, his eyes fell on Gryffindor's long table.
Before Dumbledore stood up, the mood on this table had been very high, because it was from this table that the champion of the top three hegemony was born.
"Tonight, I have a lot to say to you all," said Dumbledore. "But I must first be pleased to announce that the champions of the current Triple Three Championship are Hogwarts School of Magic, Gryffindor College student, "he pointed to the Gryffindor table," Harry Potter. "
Everyone applauded, and there was a rush of heat in the auditorium, especially many Gryffindor cubs. At this moment, their faces were flushed with excitement.
However, some people are happy, and others are always sad, such as Professor Orson with an unhappy face sitting on the teaching staff.
Harry felt very embarrassed, but he stood up and bowed slightly to thank everyone.
"Harry fully embodies the unique qualities of Gryffindor College," Dumbledore continued. "He proved himself with his bravery and courage, and the glory of the top three champions! I can say this: He deserves us to applaud him again and extend my heartfelt congratulations! "
Applause resounded in the auditorium, and Maca clapped her hands with a smile.
"Then, of course ..." After the applause calmed down, Dumbledore continued, "As a reward for the champions of the current Triple Three, a thousand gold and a Ravenclaw as the magical props of the current Triple Three Cup. The crown is here! "
Having said that, Dumbledore took out his wand and waved it gently. A large bag of Jin Jialong and a glittering crown floated from behind him. In the envious eyes of the little wizards, he floated towards Harry. .
"Of course, the real Ravenclaw crown has long been lost. This is an imitation I made myself." Dumbledore said suddenly very disturbingly. "It has a similar effect to the real crown in wearing it. At the time ~ EbookFREE.me ~ can make the wearer clear and peaceful, and more conducive to learning and research. "
"... Actually, it has the same effect as taking a nootropic agent and a Baffe brain refresher, except that the gold crown is an alchemy work, and the effect is permanent."
Seeing Hermione was curious, Maca explained softly.
"The championship is naturally admirable," Dumbledore continued. "But we still have to admire the remaining three warriors enough. They have also worked hard, been strong, worked hard, and regretted this game. Their performance is equally outstanding, and their strength deserves our respect! Let us applaud them too, and thank them for their wonderful performance that has opened our eyes! "
The applause this time seemed extraordinarily enthusiastic, because almost everyone in the hall clapped their hands, and the atmosphere reached the pinnacle of the dinner for a while.
"Finally, on behalf of Hogwarts, I thank you again for the arrival of Boothbatton and Durmstrand. I sincerely hope that you will have a happy and fruitful experience in Hogwarts. Great time! "
...
Harry's box was packed, and the owl returned to its cage above the box. Together with other fourth-graders, they waited in the crowded foyer for the carriage to take them to Hogsmeade Station.
Furong and her sister Gabri rushed up the stone steps and entered the castle. At the end of the field behind her, Hagrid was helping Madame Maxim to harness two horses.
Booth's carriage was about to leave.
"We live in Giverny on the western outskirts of Paris. You will find me and Gabrielle waiting for you along the Seine!"
Maca and Luna smiled and nodded, but just behind them, Hermione standing beside Harry looked unhappy.
