Chapter 280 The End of the Second School Year [Reminder From the Editor]

The next morning, Firth came out from under his pillow in a daze, then squatted at the head of the bed and began his routine of licking his fur and washing his face.

"Meow?!"

∑(=ΦДΦ=)

After licking twice, Firth suddenly stopped and stared at his paws...

The paws became smaller! And they turned black!

After a brief surprise, Firth immediately turned his head to look at the golden cat given by Malfoy on the bedside. Through the reflection on the golden cat ornament, Firth saw his current appearance... a chubby little black-footed cat.

"Meow?"

ω

Firth tilted his head in confusion, and the deformed little black-footed cat on the golden cat ornament also tilted his head.

If I remember correctly, last night, after Mrs. Norris recovered, Firth took Filch, Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape and others to the kitchen to celebrate, and then went back to the dormitory and fell asleep.

During this process, I didn't seem to do anything special? How come when I woke up, I had somehow mastered the black-footed cat form...

The kitten was still confused about how he did it, but cats are always carefree. If they can't figure it out, they don't bother to think about it. It's a good thing to be able to become a black-footed cat.

Then Fei Xu immediately tried to experience his newly awakened black-footed cat form.

Different from the black-footed cat that he turned into with the polyjuice potion, the black-footed cat that Fei Xu turned into this time was more suitable for his age, so his body was naturally smaller. With the spell of changing form, he could even shrink to a smaller degree than Banban.

Fei Xu also awakened a spell called [Animal Shrinking Spell], but this spell cannot be used on himself, but only on other animals, and it must be agreed by the other party.

In addition, the only disadvantage of the black-footed cat form...

is that this form is too easy to get hungry.

Fei Xu just jumped on the bed for a while, and his stomach started to growl.

Of course, this is also a little related to the fact that it is now breakfast time.

After that, Fich tested several more times. Although he still got hungry quickly, it was still no problem for Fich to fight Professor McGonagall.

However, Fich considered that he had been in a lot of trouble recently, and the exam was coming up soon. It was obviously not a wise choice to provoke Professor McGonagall at this time, so the kitten decisively postponed the challenge to Professor McGonagall.

The process of the final exam was no different from last year, with a written test plus practical operation.

In terms of practical operation, Fich has never had any problems. Even many senior students are not as good as this lazy cat who basically sleeps in class in the application level of magic.

The written test was much better than last year. At least Fich's handwriting has reached the normal level, and he is no longer rambling when describing the content.

After the exam, everyone still has a week to wait for the results to be released and to play the last Quidditch game.

Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw.

Because Slytherin had seven Nimbus 2001s, they only lost to Gryffindor in the first game, and in order to make up for the points lost in this game, they chose to delay the time as much as possible and get high scores in the games against Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw.

This led to Gryffindor not necessarily winning the Quidditch trophy even if they won this game and won all the games, so Wood planned to use the same tactics as last year again - delaying time, chasing points, and then ending the game.

So, with the unremitting efforts of Harry and others...

Gryffindor lost.

Ravenclaw students are smart. They had suffered a loss last year and were bullied by Slytherin in a similar way this year. They had corresponding means early on.

Although defeating Gryffindor would allow the annoying Slytherin to hold the Quidditch Cup, Ravenclaw people also have tempers. How can they be humiliated again and again?

So they took advantage of the Gryffindor players being busy chasing points and suddenly turned around to deal with Harry Potter.

Wood did not expect that Ravenclaw, who had always been indifferent to many things, would suddenly do such a thing that would harm others and benefit themselves. The Gryffindor team, which had no plan for this, panicked and caused internal disagreements.

Some players wanted to continue chasing points as planned, while others planned to rescue Harry.

When the Gryffindor team was in chaos, Ravenclaw's new seeker Qiu Zhang took advantage of this gap to find and catch the Golden Snitch first.

Failure to win the Quidditch Cup again made the Gryffindor players very disappointed, but at least they had won the trophy once last year, so they quickly adjusted themselves, controlled the flying broom to land back on the court, and went to shake hands with the Ravenclaw players in a friendly manner.

"Well played."

Qiu Zhang, with black eyes and black hair, smiled sweetly, making Harry's little heart pounding, and the original feeling of loss caused by losing the game disappeared instantly.

"You fly well, too."

Harry's cheeks flushed, and he lowered his head and said shyly.

Qiu Zhang smiled charmingly again, then said goodbye politely and left, while Harry stared at her back in a daze, feeling as if he was standing on the clouds, and his whole body was floating.

Harry didn't remember what happened afterwards very clearly. He walked out of the court with others in a daze until he heard Ron's shout in his ears, and then he suddenly came to his senses.

"Harry!" Ron looked at his friend who was in a trance, and went up to give him a big hug, "Don't be sad, you have done a great job!"

He thought Harry was still feeling disappointed about the loss, and comforted him loudly: "If we hadn't been chasing points, we could have won Ravenclaw a long time ago!"

"Ah? Oh, yes, you are right."

Harry Potter, who came to his senses, adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose awkwardly, and agreed with a dry laugh, subconsciously burying the matter of Qiu Zhang in his heart.

...

Soon after the last Quidditch game, the school held a year-end dinner. A lot of food filled the long table, and Fish ran around in the auditorium excitedly...

Then he sat back at the Gryffindor table obediently under the scolding of Professor McGonagall.

Dumbledore stood at the guest of honor at the long teacher's table and began his routine speech.

"Another year has passed!" He said happily: "Before everyone enjoys the delicious food, I have something to announce..."

"First, it is about Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart. Unfortunately, after our investigation, what he said that day after taking Professor Snape's potion was true. The school has sent him to the Wizengamot. I believe that the Ministry of Magic will give him a fair judgment."

Before Dumbledore finished speaking, all the students cheered loudly, and even most of the professors showed a satisfied smile.

When the cheers were slightly reduced, everyone heard Dumbledore say: "Secondly, it is about Mr. Filch's cat being petrified, and the problem of the secret chamber..."

The Great Hall immediately became quiet, and everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to know what was going on.

"The secret chamber was indeed opened..."

As soon as Dumbledore's words came out, the Great Hall fell into an uproar again.

Dumbledore didn't intend to hide the secrets of the Chamber of Secrets, but he was too lazy to tell the specific location... After all...

It's too risky to let too many people know the location of the Chamber of Secrets.

That's right!

"Ahem..."

Dumbledore cleared his throat and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

The noise gradually subsided, and Dumbledore explained to everyone: "The secret room was actually opened by a dark magic item left by the mysterious man during his school days, but... Fish found it in time."

Dumbledore smiled as everyone cast surprised and admiring eyes at Fish. After a pause, he continued: "For this, I must give Gryffindor 100 points, and in the process of discovering this dark magic item, Mr. Fish McGonagall kept his heart and was not deceived by the mysterious man. Instead, he discovered the other party's conspiracy. For this, Gryffindor will add another 100 points."

After adding these two hundred points, Gryffindor, which was originally at the bottom of the school, instantly came to the second place, with a gap of less than 30 points from the first place Slytherin.

The people from the other three colleges had no complaints about this. After all, the one who got the extra points was Firth, and the black magic items were used to fight against the You-Know-Who. The extra points were well deserved.

Then they heard Dumbledore say, "In addition to Firth, I will give Mr. Harry Potter an extra 50 points because he showed extremely valuable qualities in his conversation with the You-Know-Who - courage and kindness."

This time, the extra points were not acceptable to everyone. At least the Slytherin people held their hands and were reluctant to give their applause.

Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw had no grudges and applauded Gryffindor for stopping Slytherin from defending the title, and the Gryffindor students were about to slap their hands until they broke.

Then, Dumbledore clapped his hands, and the decorations in the hall changed immediately. The original green and silver color scheme turned into red and gold, and the huge Slytherin snake disappeared, replaced by the majestic Gryffindor lion.

Amidst the jubilation, the year-end party lasted for several hours before everyone was reluctant to leave.

The day before the summer vacation, the results of the final exams were finally released.

Miss Know-It-All still sat firmly on the throne of the first in the grade without any suspense, but even so, she was still upset about the points she was deducted.

Harry and Ron did not set such high standards for themselves. After seeing that all the subjects, especially the grades of potions, had passed the passing line, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

And because of the improvement in his written test scores, Fish's overall scores could actually rank among the top in the grade, which made Professor McGonagall very happy and hugged him and kissed him endlessly.

The next day after seeing the results, everyone said goodbye to Fish one after another with their already packed luggage, and then left Hogwarts. The kitten's second summer vacation officially arrived.

Recommendation tickets and monthly tickets

About a month ago, the editor informed me that there was a good recommendation today, and asked me to remember to add more chapters… I couldn’t even find an excuse to say that I didn’t have enough time…

I finally squeezed out an extra chapter, and then the leader gave me a reward… You guys are teaming up to force me to death!

_(`」∠)_

Today is the end of the month, and the plot just happens to end in the second year, which is quite a coincidence.
