Huh? There's a magic school here.

Chapter 178 23 Things That Happened at the Dinner

"I apologize for taking up some of your time, as I have some announcements to make! First of all, congratulations to everyone! We were pleasantly surprised to find that none of you fell behind in this year's final exams; everyone passed the school's exams."

After Andres finished speaking, he led the applause, and all the young wizards joined in happily. After a while, Andres used a hand-pressing gesture to quiet everyone down. The hall fell silent once more.

"Now it's time to deliver the rewards. I hereby announce that the top five students in the grade will have the right to enter Ravenclaw's Time Chamber, which I have placed on the fifth floor of the castle. In addition to learning the knowledge left behind by Rowena Ravenclaw, students who enter the chamber will also enjoy the privilege of having time flow at half the speed within the chamber."

As soon as Andres finished speaking, the audience erupted in a commotion. A murmur arose, and some even shouted questions.

"Principal Andres, you must be joking!"

“Mr. Austin, this is no joke! From now on, this award will be given to the top students in the final exams, and the award period will be one year! They can come and go at any time during this year. I hope that the award recipients can make good use of the twice as much time as others to study hard.”

"No... why did I get sixth place...?"

"Duan Yuze, it's probably because the five people ahead of you scored higher than you!"

Guo Mingyu was a bit confused in the audience. Wasn't the entrance to the secret room supposed to be the eagle door knocker? When did it move to the fifth floor? Actually, it wasn't Guo Mingyu's fault for not knowing; this was mainly Andres's arrangement. Andres knew through the system that once the secret room was solved, its location could be changed according to the host's needs for management.

Andres considered that it was inconvenient for students from other houses to constantly enter and exit through the Ravenclaw common room, so he moved the Chamber of Secrets from the door knocker eagle to the fifth floor. To guard the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, he also specially hung up a portrait of a former Hogwarts headmaster as a guardian.

"Ahem! Now I have the second announcement to make. I'm going to award Guo Mingyu, who solved the Chamber of Secrets, the Hogwarts Special Contribution Award. So the extra fifty points Ravenclaw got earlier were because of this. The reason I'm only telling you now is to give you a surprise."

"Principal Andres, you should have said so sooner! If you had, I would have made sure to be in the top five no matter what!"

"Flatsch Buxton, believe me, you'll still have a chance next year!"

"Now I announce the third thing: because Gryffindor won the Quidditch championship, I must fulfill my promise. For this, Gryffindor will receive 100 points, and all the members of the Gryffindor team will receive a bonus of 10,000 pounds!"

A cheer erupted from the Gryffindor table below the stage, and a young wizard lamented why he hadn't joined the Quidditch team! That way he could have won the £10,000 prize.

The young wizards at the other tables were equally frustrated, wondering why their house team hadn't won. The Slytherin team's young wizards, in particular, secretly vowed to win next year! They absolutely couldn't let those rewards slip through their fingers again!

After all the young wizards quieted down again, Andres spoke once more.

"Now, I have one last announcement: the winner of this year's College Cup. This year's College Cup was incredibly competitive, let's see! Hufflepuff 539 points, congratulations Hufflepuff!"

All the young wizards applauded Hufflepuff School. Although they came in last place, the Hufflepuffs felt they had done their best and were not unhappy.

"Next up is Slytherin with 558 points. Congratulations, Slytherin!"

All the young wizards applauded again, though the Slytherin wizards were somewhat unwilling to accept defeat.

"Next up is Ravenclaw, they scored 583 points! Congratulations to Ravenclaw!"

All the young Ravenclaw wizards wore expressions of regret. It seemed their house had lost in the Quidditch Cup, which made all the young Ravenclaw wizards realize that simply burying themselves in their studies was not enough!

"In the end, Gryffindor has 627 points! Congratulations to them for winning this year's House Cup! I think Hogwarts should make some changes."

Amidst the cheers, Andreas waved his wand. The entire Hogwarts Castle transformed from Ravenclaw's blue eagle banner to Gryffindor's red lion banner. This gesture only amplified the cheers from the Gryffindor students!

"Alright, the semester will end in three days. Everyone will be taking the Hogwarts Express back to London in three days. Students from France, you don't need to get off the train upon arrival in London; the Hogwarts Express will take you to the Paris station. Students from China, the United States, and Russia, a bus from the Magical Financial Investment Company will pick you up after you exit the station and take you to the airport. The school has arranged a charter flight for you!"

Of course, if anyone wants to stay on campus during the summer break, please obtain permission from your guardian within three days! Alright, I think everyone's hungry, so let's begin dinner.

After speaking, Andres clapped his hands, and various kinds of food appeared on the tables throughout the Great Hall. Andres then sat down and began to eat his dinner. The once quiet Great Hall was once again filled with the sounds of young wizards chatting and the clinking of knives, forks, and plates.

At the Slytherin table, Jean is working on a steak.

"What a pity! I thought we could win this year's Academy Cup!"

"Jerome, that's because you forgot that you get a hundred points for first place in Quidditch! I knew we were out of the College Cup when our team only got second place!"

"No wonder you look fine! You should join a Quidditch team! You were originally an Arsenal youth player, so your foundation should be much better than most people's!"

"Come on, Jerome! Jeanno trained to kick the ball with his feet in the youth academy, he never trained to kick it in the air!"

"Haha, Fabio is right! In fact, what I did in the youth academy was more about training my ball control and improving my physique! I didn't get to know much about technique and tactics!"

"Is the crazy eating of beef and mutton part of the training?"

"Of course, otherwise how could I have such a strong physique and height?"

"Indeed, he's much stronger and taller than all of us!"

"Don't feel inferior, Anil, you'll grow taller too!"

"You bastard, I'm not ashamed! I'm going to strangle you!"

"Hahaha"

The cheerful laughter of the little snakes also eased Slytherin's disappointment at not getting first place.

An hour later, Andres announced the end of the banquet. Since it was a holiday, the young wizards did not line up to leave as they had at previous banquets, but left in twos and threes, while the rest continued to eat desserts and chat at the tables.
