Hogwarts magic is justice

Chapter 42 Holiday Homework, Farewell Banquet

The History of Magic exam was the last one, and to Harry's relief, Owen didn't punish Ron by making him take the closed-book exam. It seemed that this was the only excellent grade Ron could get.

Actually, the history of magic is not a major subject. The real major subjects are potions, herbs, transfiguration, spells, and defense against the dark magic. Of course, if you want extra points, you can take a few more subjects, such as alchemy. You can take all of them, for a total of twelve subjects.

People who don't have aspirations generally won't complete all the training.

But every year has its geniuses, like Percy Weasley, the current prefect of Gryffindor and president of the student council, who is one such genius and a full-fledged student.

The most amazing thing is that he, a class leader and male chairman who has to complete all the courses, still has time to have a relationship!

Tell me, isn't this person incredibly capable?

Upon hearing Owen's assessment of his brother, Ron's face flushed red, then quickly turned pale, because what Owen said really made a lot of sense!

In comparison, even compared to his younger sister who hadn't started school yet, Ron had to admit that he was a terrible student!

"Mr. Ron, the summer homework I'm giving you is very simple: use this holiday to tutor your younger sister who is about to start school. If she doesn't get extra points in the first lesson, I'll deduct points from yours."

"Why should I?!"

Ron was getting anxious. He had already planned how to spend his vacation, but suddenly this "homework" came along. What was the point of him having any fun?

The most crucial question is, why him? Why can't it be Fred, Josie, or even Percy? Isn't this just setting himself up for disaster?

"Don't get so worked up, Mr. Ron. In fact, you only need to teach your sister spells, and your brothers will teach her other things."

Percy taught herbalism, while the twins taught transfiguration and potion theory.

In short, if their sister comes to school and they don't get extra points for the corresponding courses they teach, then their points will be deducted. If points are deducted, they will be deducted double!

But the worst off weren't Ron, but his brothers. Ginny was doing well in school, but if she wasn't, Percy would be removed as prefect and head of the class. The twins, on the other hand, wouldn't have a chance to play any pranks for a whole year!

That would be fatal for them!

"My poor Ginny..."

In fact, it wasn't just the Weasleys; any young wizard with younger siblings who had reached the age to attend Hogwarts the following year received this "assignment."

Magic is something passed down through generations, but too much peace has turned it into an academic subject, which is wrong.

The Slytherin boys were the biggest supporters of this kind of assignment. Their pure-blood pride came from their lineage, and inheritance was a given to them. They were just so focused on their pride that they forgot about everything else...

Draco's expression was somewhat unreadable, because he didn't have any younger siblings, so... should he go home and discuss with his parents about having another child?

As for the gap during this period, why not ask your younger cousins ​​to try it out? Even if they are not old enough to go to school, they can still learn the basic theory first!

……

The final banquet of the academic year has begun, which will also determine the winner of this year's Academy Cup. Everyone is watching the points. The scores that used to be easy to see are now harder to distinguish because they are all almost full. This is largely thanks to a certain young wizard.

At this moment, Irving was also in the auditorium, but he was not sitting at the long table of the division, nor at the horizontal table of the professors. Instead, he was sitting in another corner, where he had his own horizontal table, and the food on the table was different from that of the others.

None of the people present were outsiders. It had been a year, and both teachers and students had gotten used to Irving's special treatment, so no one took it seriously.

"After careful calculation, Slytherin has taken first place with a narrow margin of 29 points."

The little snakes were excited, but they didn't cheer. Instead, they restrained their emotions. Everything could change before things were resolved, a principle that Irving had already stated.

Snape was pleased with the snakes' performance, but his smile quickly faded as Dumbledore said, "But some things must also be taken into account: Mr. Ron, five points for his wisdom; Miss Granger, five points for her courage; and finally, Mr. Harry Potter, twenty points."

This addition brought the total to exactly thirty points, allowing Gryffindor to surpass Slytherin and become the first house of the year.

They've been plotting this all along!

The old wizard doesn't even want to act anymore!

Owen had reason to believe that it was a difference of 29 points. If it were a difference of 290 points, the old man would still have added Gryffindor to the top spot, not for any other reason than to boost the little savior's confidence and strengthen his sense of honor towards Hogwarts.

There was definitely some disappointment, but the snakes didn't take it to heart. This was just a missed opportunity, and they could make up for it next year. On the other hand, the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students, who were also close in score, had a different look in their eyes.

Previously, they never had a chance because the score difference was too great, and they couldn't catch up even if they wanted to. But this year, the difference is less than fifty points. So, if they plan ahead starting next year, will they have a chance?

Ravenclaw has never been afraid of learning ability, and Hufflepuff is not afraid of any sorting house when it comes to practical ability. Moreover, if Gryffindor, which has been at the bottom for years, can do it, why can't they?

The students' fighting spirit was ignited, and the old wizard cheerfully announced the start of the banquet. Owen grabbed a piece of rice, first a piece of cured meat, then a piece of boiled fish, a bite of rice, and then a piece of spicy chicken...

He'll be leaving in a few days, and there won't be such good food outside. He should eat as much as he can while he can!

Hermione arrived and said that she should study even during the holidays and would like to ask him questions if there was anything she didn't understand. Owen declined, saying that he was going out and the time was uncertain, but she could write down all the questions and he would answer them one by one when school started.

The little witch left happily, not forgetting to take a plate of stir-fried wood ear mushrooms with meat with her.

Snape arrived and told the young wizard not to forget his promise: he would be giving him a separate exam when school started. There was no question about it, and Owen could only nod in agreement.

Then he left, taking with him a plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes.

The old wizard arrived and said that I could go out during the holiday, but not to dangerous places. Irving said that he only wanted to visit the places where he used to study and see old friends.

The old wizard left satisfied, taking the sweet and sour pork with him.

Professor McGonagall arrived, and the boiled fish was gone.

Professor Flitwick arrived, and the boiled pork slices were gone.

Mrs. Pince arrived, and the stir-fried yam was gone.

Mrs. Pomfrey arrived, and the salt and pepper ribbonfish was gone.

Hagrid arrived, and not only was the last bit of cured meat gone, but even the rice was lost. The entire table was spotless, except for a pair of chopsticks left in his hand.
