Chapter 21: End of year banquet

　　On the third morning, when Harry and the three were packing up and preparing to leave the school hospital, a large group of people helped each other and stumbled in with their noses and bruises.
　　 They quickly stepped away and looked at the wailing group of senior students.
　　 "They are all from Slytherin!" Hermione whispered.
"What's going on?" Madam Pomfrey walked in angrily. "Noon is the year-end party. Who are you doing, it's the miscellaneous..." A student was about to say the word and was next to him. The students of swiftly covered their eyes, "It's Mr. Flivy, we wanted to discuss with him before."
　　 "Can you beat you like this?" Madam Pomfrey looked at the frostbite and burns on the faces of these students, as well as people who were shocked from time to time, and laughed angrily.
　　 "Stay in the school hospital! Don't want to attend today's banquet!"
　　 Some students are still not convinced, "My dad is a school manager, he is a mixed-race boy, watch me go back and ask my dad to fire him!"
　　 "My family is too, I want to tell my mother to kick him out of Hogwarts!"
　　 Pomfrey couldn't help it, and said loudly, "If I call again, I will let him lie down for July!"
　　 At this time, the people were quiet, and Hermione dragged Harry and Neville and walked out quietly.
　　 "What do we do, do we want to remind Mr. Flevey Jr.?" Neville asked anxiously.
　　 "Don't worry, did you forget that Mr. Flevey Jr. will go to France in the second half of the year?" said Hermione, "and it doesn't matter who will clean up by then! Go, go back and prepare for the afternoon banquet!"
The three returned to the Gryffindor tower, and of course they were cheered by everyone again. The boys slapped Neville and Harry on the backs, while the girls hugged Hermione one by one, singing and dancing around them, Wes The Lai brothers even used the spellcasting skills given to them by Aristophanes, wrapping magic one by one with colored shredded paper, and then controlling it to fly above and explode, sprinkling them one after another, adding more festive atmosphere to this celebration.
　　 In the evening, they joined the other Gryffindor students, and a group of people walked to the auditorium in a mighty manner.
　　 The auditorium has been decorated with red and gold representing Gryffindor. A huge banner painted with Gryffindor lions was hung behind the podium to celebrate the Academy Cup champion they snatched from the Slytherin Academy.
　　 When Harry and his party walked in, the other students in the auditorium, led by Cedric and Qiu, came to them, hugging and celebrating each other. Daphne in the distance looked at these people enviously, but was embarrassed to go.
　　 Soon Dumbledore also rushed to the auditorium, and everyone returned to their seats.
"Another year has passed!" Dumbledore said cheerfully. "Before you can enjoy these delicious dishes, I must trouble you all to listen to the old man's clichés. What a wonderful year! Your little heads are sure. It’s a bit richer than in the past, and we also have an outstanding project team, and they have achieved dazzling achievements! But I’m sorry to inform you that Assistant Professor Aristophan Flivi will resign from Hogg For all Watts duties, he will go to Busbarton, France for a study tour!"
　　 There was a sudden uproar in the auditorium, except for the six students who had already known it, everyone else was talking, and the Slytherin students were mainly gloating.
　　 "Please be quiet! There is a whole summer vacation waiting for you before, so that you can digest those things well before the beginning of the next semester, and free your mind.."
"Now, as far as I know, we must first carry out the Academy Cup award ceremony. The specific scores of each academy are as follows: fourth place, Hufflepuff, 412 points, Slytherin 472 points , Ravenclaw, 476 points, first place, Gryffindor, 522 points!"
　　 There was a thunderous cheering and stomping on the Gryffindor table, and the Weasley brothers cheered.
"Okay, everyone, let's eat now!" Dumbledore sat down with a smile. Except for the Slytherin students, Malfoy looked at Harry and the podium with a sullen face, and then ate what was in front of him viciously. steak.
Harry turned his head to look at the podium amidst the cheers. He saw Professor Snape squeeze an awkward smile to congratulate Professor McGonagall, and then the two met, Harry immediately understood, and Snape gave him an awkward smile. His attitude has not changed at all. Harry shrugged. After this year of education and growth, he felt that there was nothing to worry about. It seemed that life would return to normal next year, at least to the usual state of Hogwarts.
　　 Then he found that Aristophanes was raising his glass, he grinned and raised the glass.
　　 This is the best night Harry has ever had. Don't worry about Voldemort, don't worry about exams, don't worry about experimental data, he will never forget this night.
　　 The results of the final exam came out. There is no doubt that Hermione is the first in grade, and Daphne is the second, which everyone did not expect. Harry and Neville also passed all the exams successfully, and their scores were far beyond their expectations.
　　 It seems that suddenly, their closet was empty, everything was packed in the suitcase, and Neville's toad was found hidden in the corner of the bathroom.
　　 A notice was sent to every student, warning them not to use magic during the holidays ("I always hope they forget to send this to us." Fred Weasley said regretfully). Hagrid was responsible for leading them onto the fleet across the lake.
　　Now, they have boarded the Hogwarts Express, talking and laughing all the way, watching the countryside outside the window getting greener and cleaner. The train passed through Muggle towns. They ate bibidu beans, took off their wizard robes, and put on jackets and blouses; finally, the train stopped at nine and three-quarters of King’s Cross Station. Platform.
　　 A shriveled old guard guarded the ticket gate, allowing only two or three people to pass at a time, so that they would not have a large number of people coming in and out of the solid wall at the same time, attracting the attention of the Muggles.
　　 "Harry, can you come to play with me during your vacation?" Daphne blushed, and then quickly added, "I also invited Hermione, Neville and the others. I will write to you then."
　　 "Oh—" The Weasley brothers and Hermione and the others nearby made a long tone when they heard it, but Neville looked blank: When did Daphne tell me?
　　 "George, look at our little savior, I received an invitation from a pretty girl of the same grade right after the first grade—"
　　 "Woo, don't talk about Fred, we are all in third grade and no one has come to invite us, Miss Granger, please give us a chance—"
　　 All the laughter suddenly became a ball, Harry turned his head and smiled bitterly to Greengrass, "Thank you, I hope I can go, but—"
　　 "Okay, I'll write to you then!" Daphne didn't listen to what he said anymore, turned her head and ran away.
　　 They walked towards the exit to the Muggle World. People kept squeezing past them, and they left after greeting each other.
　　 Harry saw Daphne's parents, leading her sister, and seemed to be telling them about him, and turned around and beckoned to him.
　　 The Weasley brothers returned to Mrs. Weasley, and Ginny screamed, "Look, Mom, that's Harry Potter!", and was stopped by Mrs. Weasley.
He also saw Neville's grandmother, a very serious old lady; Hermione's parents, according to her, both were dentists, and they looked gentle; Cedric and Qiu held hands to meet their parents ,Yep? Holding hands?
　　 Harry's mouth twitched, which he learned from Aristophanes.
　　 At this time Vernon came up, still with a purple face, a large beard, and staring at him with angry eyes. Aunt Petunia and Dudley in the distance were suddenly panicked when they saw his eyes.
　　 "Boy, hurry up, we can't afford to delay!"
　　 Harry turned his head to bid farewell to Daphne and the others, showing a big smile.
---------------Dividing line------------------
　　 Just as the students were packing up and preparing to leave, a negotiation was also going on in a conference room in Hogwarts Castle.
　　 "I don't agree!" Lucius Malfoy threw the contract on the table, "He is a little half-elf bastard, why should he become a major shareholder?"
Aristophane heard the words and was about to speak, Dumbledore next to him raised his hand to stop him, then raised his head, staring at the man opposite with his sharp blue eyes: "Louis Hughes~EbookFREE.me ~I don’t allow you to humiliate the faculty at Hogwarts. Please apologize to Mr. Flivy Jr., immediately."
Facing this gaze, a cold sweat crawled all over Lucius Malfoy’s back. It seemed that at this moment he remembered that he was sitting in front of the greatest wizard of the 20th century. What he hates most is race. Discrimination.
At the same time, a member of the Greengrass family sitting on the other side also said slowly: "Lucius, Mr. Flivy Jr. won such a great honor for Hogwarts, but was so humiliated by you, do you think Are all of us fools?"
　　 There was a blue-red change on Lucius's face, and then angrily said "I'm sorry", and sat down angrily.
　　 Still the board member of the Greengrass family, he turned his head and asked Dumbledore: "Principal, is this your proposal?"
"Yes," Dumbledore lifted his glasses. "Some parts of Hogwarts Castle need to be repaired. The funds from the Ministry of Magic and the donations from the school directors have already been used to make ends meet. So this part of the dividends It can be added to this part, and the surplus can also be subsidized to students with poor living conditions."
"Let me say that Hogwarts shouldn't recruit those Muggles, poor, mixed-race students—students." Lucius complained again at this time, "Our money is not windy, and Our own child’s chance was taken away by a Muggle, what is that like!"
　　 Except for a few school directors, everyone else nodded slightly when they heard this. Seeing the drama, Lucius said more and more enthusiastically: "I think the principal and the nephew of Professor Flivy should give us an explanation. Why do you recruit a Muggle in your research group but exclude the board of directors? Child? Do you have any conspiracy?"
