Hogwarts: From Squibs to Greatness

Chapter 112 The end of the second school year
The time soon came to the new semester. For everyone, the most worthwhile discussion in this semester must be about Hufflepuff's John Williams being honored by the Ministry of Magic.

In the auditorium, the little wizards were chirping and discussing with each other. If you listen carefully, almost everyone is talking about John, especially Hufflepuff is the most excited.

"It's unbelievable. I knew he was excellent, but I didn't expect him to be so good!" Hannah Abbott said with a flushed face
"Yeah! After my parents found out about this, they spent the rest of the holidays lamenting how good other people's children are, and then strictly supervised my studies." The wizard beside her said, "I don't have time to play with broomsticks anymore! "

"Did you know? According to people in Gryffindor, those pure-blood wizards who were taught by John were all forced by their families to write letters of apology to John!"

"Really! Hahaha, they have this day too! It's amazing."

…………

At this moment, someone shouted, "John is here!"

Immediately, everyone in the auditorium focused their eyes on the entrance of the auditorium, and at this moment John was walking into it.

Just like last time, when John killed the Slytherin monster alone, everyone in the auditorium stood up and applauded and cheered for John!
Feeling the strengthening of his connection with the world, John waved to everyone in the auditorium.

He saw over the long Gryffindor table, the three little ones whose faces were flushed with excitement, they stood in the crowd and clapped their hands desperately for John.

He saw all the professors smiling gratifiedly in the professor's seat. Even Professor Snape, when he looked at John, the expression on his face softened a lot.

Among them, Hagrid, who was appointed as an assistant teaching assistant of Magizoology because of being washed away, was the most exaggerated. Hagrid was holding a handkerchief in his hand, wiping his tears like a comforting mother.

Headmaster Dumbledore raised the gold cup in his hand and saluted John from a distance, and John naturally smiled back.

Finally, accompanied by cheers and applause, John sat down at the Hufflepuff table.

When all the students came to the auditorium and had a heated discussion about John.

Headmaster Dumbledore tapped the cup with his spoon and yelled, "Quiet! Children! Be quiet!"

For magical reasons, Dumbledore's voice was as loud as a bell.

"Before this new semester starts, I have something important to say." Dumbledore stood up slowly, with a smile on his face.

"I think everyone knows that, yes, here I would like to commend Mr. John Williams of Hufflepuff. He used his free time to conduct magic research and invented a new magic that can effectively suppress the wolf-like phenomenon of werewolf wizards." .”

"For this reason, the Ministry of Magic has decided to award him the Order of Merlin, Second Class, in July in recognition of his contributions!"

"For such contributions, Hogwarts will naturally have to commend them. At the same time, last semester, John alone solved the monsters in the secret room and protected everyone's safety."

"After discussion between all the teachers and the school board, it was unanimously determined that Mr. John Williams will be awarded the Hogwarts Special Contribution Award!"

After finishing speaking, Principal Dumbledore waved his wand, and instantly the decorations in the auditorium turned into Hufflepuff yellow, and countless fireworks bloomed in the starry sky above his head.

The professors took the lead in clapping, and in an instant everyone cheered again, among them the Weasley twins even stood up, singing out-of-key songs loudly, praising John.

Looking at the smiling faces, John smiled involuntarily.

Shortly after that day, John saw a medal with his name engraved in a certain place in the achievement showcase, where the medal that should have belonged to senior Tom was originally placed there.

But last semester, John found the diary that recorded how senior Tom framed Hagrid, so naturally the medal he got for reporting Hagrid was invalidated.

But John won't be dazzled by this honor. You must know that in Tanya's world, after he made improvements to the flying magic device, the President of the Empire personally awarded him an honor.

As for the Medal of Merlin, Second Class, John didn't pay much attention to it at all. In his heart, it was not as important as the Hogwarts Special Contribution Award.

The life in the school was the same as before, the only difference was that John began to receive a lot of love letters, and even put love potion items or food.

The former John always chooses to formally refuse, indicating that he is now focusing on research, while the latter John is directly burned to ashes.

Gradually, until John concentrated on studying and researching, the person who sent the love letter disappeared.

Time passed by like this, because there was no crisis for the time being, and the inexplicable "disappearance" of Gilderoy Lockhart, so life in the next semester was very quiet and leisurely.

Perhaps the only ones who are unhappy are those fans of Lockhart, after all, Lockhart's true colors have not been revealed yet.

But John feels that after this year, this matter will be exposed.

John felt that Principal Dumbledore might already know the news of Lockhart's death. You must know that magic exists in the main world, not to mention that Principal Dumbledore is still one of the strongest existences in the wizarding world.

And when he left the Chamber of Secrets, Principal Dumbledore would definitely go back to check, and the blood left on the ground belonged to Lockhart.

But John is not afraid of Principal Dumbledore's questioning of him, knowing that Lockhart's deformed body has been kept in the space by John.

In order to respond to Headmaster Dumbledore's inquiries.

Soon, the remainder of the summer term was spent in blinding sunshine as the weather changed from cool spring to hot summer.

Because of Lockhart's disappearance, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was cancelled, and naturally there was no follow-up exam.

It's just that Professor Snape was very unhappy when he was notified that the course was cancelled.

The next semester passed away like this, and when the intense final exams ended, the holidays came again.

In a blink of an eye, they'll be heading home on the Hogwarts Express

.Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred, George and Ginny had a separate box.

They made the most of the last few hours of magic allowed before the holidays, playing Crackle and Explosion, setting off Fred's and George's last Fireworks, and practicing disarming each other's magic.

This set of magic, Harry is now very proficient in doing it.

They actually looked for John, but after learning that John was picked up by his mother, they felt very sorry.

Especially Ginny, in the second half of the semester, because Ron often took her to Hagrid's afternoon tea, so she got in touch with John.

For this unusual brother, Ginny actually admires him very much, but this kind of admiration is different from Harry's. It is more about the admiration for John's achievements
When the train was about to arrive at King's Cross Station, Harry suddenly remembered something, which he and Ron discovered by accident.

Percy was whispering something to Ginny at the time, as if asking her to keep something a secret.

Harry still couldn't hold back, and asked, "Ginny, what did you see Percy doing that day, and he didn't allow you to tell anyone?"

Because of getting along with her for a long time, Ginny will not blush when she sees Harry like before, and she can let it go.

"Oh, you asked that..." Ginny giggled, "Yeah! Percy got a girlfriend."

Fred dropped a stack of books on George's head.

"what?!"

"It's the prefect of Ravenclaw, Penelope Crivat." Ginny looked at her surprised brothers and said, "Last summer vacation, he wrote so many letters to her. He has been talking to her all over the school." She dated secretly. One day, I caught them kissing in an empty classroom."

It's just that when Ginny saw the expressions on George and Fred's faces, she asked a little uneasy: "You won't make fun of him, will you?"

"Wouldn't dream of it," said Fred, though he looked as happy as if his birthday had come early.

"Absolutely not," George replied, smiling secretly.

The Hogwarts Express gradually slowed down and finally stopped.

Harry drew his quill and a piece of parchment, and turned to Ron and Hermione.

"It's called a phone number."

He told Ron, scribbled the number twice, then tore the parchment in two and handed it to each of them.

"I told your dad how to use the phone last summer, he'll understand. Call me at the Dursleys, okay? I can't stand talking to Dudley for two months..." Ha Li Xu naggingly told Ron.

By this time they had disembarked from the train and joined the throng, walking slowly towards the enchanted partition.

"Be sure to call me!" Harry said reluctantly.

Ron patted his chest and assured, "Of course! I will!"

Hermione nodded, and also wrote down her home number and gave it to Harry and Ron.

Then, they passed through the exit together and returned to the Muggle world.

Time soon came to July, and during this period, John sent out the invitation letters one after another.

Because Principal Dumbledore is not only one of the members of the Wizengamot, but also the principal of Hogwarts, the person who wears the medal for John at the award ceremony is selected as him, so the principal does not need an invitation letter.

So except for his mother Miranda's share, he gave the rest to Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Snape, Professor Sprout, Hagrid, and Harry and Hermione respectively.

As for why there is no Ron?

That was because Mr. Weasley worked in the Ministry of Magic, and naturally there was an invitation letter, so the one that John gave Ron was sent back by Mr. Weasley.

So there were two remaining invitation letters, John thought for a long time, and finally gave them to Filch and Neville Longbottom respectively.

From the two replies, it can be seen that they did not expect that John would send them an invitation letter.

Filch's letters praised John with all the flowery words he could, thanking John for giving him the opportunity to visit such an important event.

In Neville's letter, he kept thanking John for his invitation, and said that John would always be a friend of the Longbottom family. This part should have been written by Neville under the guidance of his grandmother.

John expressed his honor by replying to this letter, and sent his regards to Grandma Neville.

　I feel that I have never spoken so many words in my life, and I am not used to voice input
