Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 765 Six consecutive championships

 “Have you heard? Malfoy has been picked up!”

In the Gryffindor common room, Harry pushed open the door and broke in. As if he had discovered some treasure, he found Hermione and Ron who were doing homework with excitement on their faces.

 “What did you say?” They both raised their heads and asked at the same time.

“Malfoy was taken away from school and dropped out,” Harry said again. "I just met the Slytherin team and they are selecting a new Seeker."

"This is impossible." Hermione lowered her head again, flipping through the "Advanced Transfiguration Guide" at hand, and said: "There is no reason why Malfoy dropped out of school."

 “Does this need to be said? The things he did must have been discovered.”

 Ron looked as excited as Harry, "I have been wondering why the Death Eaters can come to the school quietly. Someone must be helping them, and this person is probably Malfoy!"

 Harry applauded Ron wildly in his mind.

Because he promised Dumbledore, he couldn't tell anyone what happened in the tower before, but he didn't expect Ron to guess it.

 Half an hour ago, while chatting with Seamus of Gryffindor, MacMillan vowed that no one from Hufflepuff would leave school.

First it was Malfoy, and now their most hated Quidditch commentator Zachary has also left the school, which is a double blessing.

Whether it was Malfoy who put Death Eaters into the school or not, it was not an issue they should consider.

The only pity is that they have also reached the end of the term.

They have to do too much recently, not only to strengthen the castle defenses, but also to patrol around Hogsmeade and prepare for the upcoming exams. They have not stopped since they opened their eyes every day.

 Harry's good mood lasted until the first weekend of June.

"It doesn't matter, at least we don't have to see him anymore." Ron said happily, "I can't imagine how great Hogwarts would be without Malfoy."

“Hermione, you should have told us earlier!” Ron muttered.

Unlike Macmillan who gritted his teeth, Harry and Ron almost jumped for joy.

 Hufflepuff, who was in second place, scored 500 points.

"If you take your Herbology class more seriously, you won't need me to remind you!" Hermione said without raising her head.

 “Why not.” Hermione calmly turned the page.

　　It wasn't until Hermione told them that the smell was the fermentation of Moon-Crazy Fertilizer that the two of them closed the window with a livid face.

 Zachary Smith was the only Hufflepuff student to leave school.

They had just finished their last game half a month ago. Their opponent was also Ravenclaw. Although Harry was missing the seeker, they still won with Ginny's outstanding performance and won with the total score. The advantage of 660 points is temporarily ranked first.

 The professors did not stop him.

"It would be great if it stays like this next semester." Harry was looking forward to it in his heart.

"Hermione, can't you put the book down?" Ron couldn't help but said, "How can you still read it under such circumstances?"

Harry even thanked the Death Eaters in his heart. After this attack, all the bad elements in the school seemed to disappear all of a sudden.

Of course, there are also some more assertive students who convinced their parents and insisted on staying in school.

Hermione was still a little skeptical, but seeing Harry and Ron cheering as if it was Christmas in advance, she didn't say anything else.

 “Only fools would leave school at this time.”

"This game is related to whether we can win the Quidditch Cup!" Ron said, "We haven't won it in more than ten years."

Even Hufflepuff has such a person, the Quidditch match commentator Zachary Smith, who followed his arrogant father out of the castle during breakfast.

 So for those parents who don’t trust the school, they can only choose to respect the other party’s decision.

This day is the day of the Quidditch match between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, and it is also the Quidditch final.

Of course, it could also be that Professor McGonagall was too busy half a month ago and couldn't spare time to watch the game.

In other words, if Hufflepuff fails to score 160 points in this game, they will win the first Quidditch Cup in ten years.

 …

Professor McGonagall is also here. When people see her in the stands, they feel it is incredible. After all, she did not come to the Gryffindor game half a month ago, but she is here today.

Since the news of Death Eaters breaking into Hogwarts spread, many parents came over and picked up their children.

 In school, Malfoy's dropping out of school also did not attract much attention at Hogwarts, because he was not the only one to do so.

"is that so?"

Harry and the others came to the stands and sat down, waiting for the game to start.

The current situation is undoubtedly a slap in his face, and the sound is crisp. McMillan will naturally not be happy.

It seems to match his mood. The weather in June is sunny and wonderful, and even the wind blowing in has a faint fragrance.

"Yeah, I think so too." Harry said decisively, "Now that the school is preparing to settle accounts after the fall, he has to run away. I really should have told the professors earlier and asked them to keep an eye on Malfoy."

When Zachary Smith and his father passed by the foyer, MacMillan, who was eating, suddenly said loudly: "Those smug fools, they don't think there is a safer place outside than Hogwarts!"

 Early in the morning, almost all Gryffindors came to the court, waiting for the game to start.

Harry and Ron would lie by the window when they had nothing to do, enjoying the breeze while reading a book to prepare for the upcoming exam.

But the father and son outside the door seemed not to have heard and strode over anyway.

“Compared to the Quidditch Cup, I think you should be more concerned about the final exam in a week’s time.”

 “I know, but these are two different things, we...”

Ron wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by a deafening cheer.

 He turned his head subconsciously and saw everyone in the Hufflepuff audience standing up excitedly.

 Then he knew the reason.

Kyle appeared in the starting lineup, and judging from his position, he should have returned to his old job as a chaser.

“Oh, shit!” Ron covered his forehead, “Didn’t Kyle take a leave of absence? Why is he still participating in the game?”

"Don't you know by now?" Hermione looked up at him, "Kyle has started taking classes again since the last Death Eater attack."

 At this time, Ms. Huo Qi blew the whistle in her hand and the game began.

"It's okay." Harry said beside him, not knowing whether he was comforting Ron or himself.

“Quidditch is not a one-person game, and even Kyle can’t guarantee that he will beat Ravenclaw…”

 “Goal scored.”

 The new narrator's screams drowned out Harry's voice.

“Kyle scored the first goal right after the game started and the Ravenclaw goalkeeper didn’t react at all.

 “10:0, Hufflepuff leads!”

The stands were filled with deafening cheers again, and several Hufflepuff fans even danced in the stands.

 They have not seen this kind of devastating attack for more than a year.

"It doesn't matter..." Harry's voice was dry, "It's only one goal, and we're still one hundred and fifty points ahead."

five minutes later…

 “It’s okay, only three balls.”

 …

 “We’re still a hundred points ahead.”

　　…　　“It doesn’t matter, Gryffindor still has a fifty-point advantage.”

 Twenty minutes later…

“It’s okay, it’s just a tie now, maybe Qiu will catch the Golden Snitch soon.”

Harry's voice became softer and softer, and his expression became more and more dull.

When Kyle took another long shot and threw the Quaffle into the goal post, Harry's hanging heart finally died.

The entire Gryffindor stand was silent.

"It's okay..." Harry said with difficulty, "We still have a chance next year. I mean, Kyle will graduate next year, right?"

Ron didn't answer. He seemed to have been drained of all his strength and sat there with his head hanging down.

 Hermione shook her head and continued to read the book in her hand.

 Ever since she saw Kyle in the player team, she had thought of this outcome.

 Facts also proved that she was right, only Ron and Harry were unwilling to accept it.

 After half an hour, the game was over.

With his rich experience, Qiu caught the Golden Snitch first with a two-inch advantage, but Kyle scored too many goals. Twenty-eight goals in one game, almost one every minute, directly broke the school record.

By the way, the last scoring record was also Kyle's.

So even if Ravenclaw adds 150 points, the score is still far behind.

 When the audience left, Harry didn't even dare to look into Professor McGonagall's eyes and kept his head lowered.

"Don't think so much." Hermione put down the book in her hand and patted his shoulder to comfort him: "As you said before, there will be a chance next year, and Kyle will graduate by then."

Somehow, it was clear that Hermione was right, and even Harry thought so, but he felt even more uncomfortable.

 “You can think about it from another perspective,” Hermione continued.

 “Change the angle?” Harry looked at her doubtfully, “What do you mean?”

"The exams are coming soon." Hermione said softly, "I heard Professor McGonagall say that most people's final exam scores in sixth grade are basically the same as the certificate they received when they graduated. If there is any If you fail a course, you will most likely not get the certificate.

“The exam is less than a week away, so are you ready?”

 “Thank you, Hermione.” Harry said with a grimace.

Well, compared to the upcoming exams, just missing out on the Quidditch championship seems like nothing.

　　After all, his dream is to become an Auror after graduation. As we all know, Aurors have very strict requirements for grades, and even one of several key certificates will not be enough.

"It doesn't matter, this is what I should do. It is the obligation of a friend." Hermione smiled slightly and walked into the castle.

 At the same time, the Hufflepuffs who won the victory had also begun to celebrate. In the common room, Mikel was holding a trophy made of cake, shouting and jumping on the table to celebrate their sixth consecutive Quidditch championship trophy.

Of course, we may also include the Academy Cup for seven consecutive years. After all, the Quidditch champion team will also add a lot of points. In addition to the 100 points scored by Kele before, they are already ahead of the second place team. Ravenclaw has over 200 points.

At this moment, not even Voldemort can stop their good mood.

The carnival lasted until late at night. Kyle finally escaped from the crowd and walked to an armchair in the corner to sit down.

Connor handed him a bottle of butterbeer.

 “Thank you.” Kyle took it and took a sip. "They were absolutely crazy. The party lasted for three hours."

"It's understandable." Connor said with a smile. "After all, Hufflepuff has never shown her face like this, and everyone is quite depressed during this time. It's good to have something worth celebrating."

Kyle nodded and took another sip of butterbeer.

 “What are your plans next?”

 “Waiting for the exam.” Kyle said.

 “I mean what your plans are after graduation, what kind of job are you going to do?”

"I don't know." Kyle shrugged. "For now, I plan to go to Diagon Alley to have a look. Remember? Sirius gave me a store before, and it's not good to keep it empty all the time."

 “You want to open a store?”

"I just have this idea temporarily." Kyle said, "But it's hard to say what to do specifically now. After all, there are Death Eaters and Voldemort outside. No matter what we do, we must solve this problem first."

"So, you will join that...Order of the Phoenix, that's the name."

Kyle did not answer immediately.

"I'm really not sure." He thought for a while and said, "There is one thing that I still can't figure out. Professor Dumbledore has not sent me a formal invitation until now, and I don't know what he thinks. "

“But didn’t you take me to their base camp before?”

"That's different." Kyle shook his head, "Fred and George told me that before they graduated, they signed a very formal magic contract, which was also a formal certificate for joining the Order of the Phoenix.

“According to them, the contract allows them to form a connection with other members of the Order of the Phoenix, allowing them to vaguely sense each other’s location, and its function should be to facilitate support.”

"Is there any other way to say this?" Connor asked. She always thought that Kyle was already a member of the Order of the Phoenix.

"I'm not sure, I can't rule out that it's a prank by Fred and George." Kyle said, "But Professor Dumbledore has never mentioned this to me."

 “By the way, why do you ask this suddenly.”

 “No, it’s nothing.” Kangna said, “I’m just a little curious.”

 “What about you, what are you going to do after graduation?”

"Professor Snape bought a potions shop in Paris." Connor whispered. "He wanted me to go there and open the shop."

"This is good." Kyle said thoughtfully: "The potion shop is quite profitable, and in Paris, I know a lot of people, so I can solve any problems."

Kyle is talking about Ms. Maxime. As the principal of Beauxbatons, she still has great energy in France.

If you really encounter any trouble, it will definitely be no problem to find her.

 “Is that what you think?” Connor asked looking at Kyle.

Kyle looked into her eyes and nodded.

 On this matter, he and Snape rarely had the same ideas.

Although Kangna is very good, even very good, her results in the entire Hufflepuff are second only to Kyle and Cedric. She even got eight certificates in last year's O.W.L.

It’s not that there can’t be more, but she took a total of eight courses, and her grades were all excellent.

 But the enemy is Voldemort after all, and no matter how good her grades are, Kangna is only seventeen years old. When the day of the decisive battle comes, no one knows what will happen. The safest way is to stay away from the battlefield.

 France is a good place, not too far or too close, and there are many acquaintances there. Even if the Death Eaters' influence reaches somewhere one day, there won't be even a single person to help.

"Well."

 Without anger or any dissatisfaction, Kangna agreed.

This is so true that Kyle didn’t expect that under normal circumstances, shouldn’t Kangna be angry because she was underestimated?

 What kind of reaction is this? It's too calm, so calm that it's a bit abnormal.

 “Aren’t you angry?” Kyle asked tentatively.

"Why should I be angry?" Kangna looked at Kyle with a smile and asked, "Or do you think I should turn around and leave, or clamor to stay here... If that's the case, I can actually satisfy you. ”

With that said, Kangna cleared her throat and raised her hand to slap it on the table.

 “No, that’s fine, really.” Kyle stopped her quickly.

No matter what, it's good that Kangna isn't angry. It would be troublesome if she really started to quarrel.
