Struggling to survive at Hogwarts

Chapter 105 Honor

Dumbledore did not linger in the headmaster's office, as a dinner party was to be held that evening.

"Thea!"

At Fane's call, everyone at the long table turned to look at the entrance to the hall.

Harry then looked toward the group of people who had entered.

The first thing I saw were two girls, about the same height, one of whom was slightly shorter. Her short black hair made her skin look even whiter, but the arrogance in her eyes was just like that of the other Slytherins.

The other was tall with long, flowing blonde hair that cascaded over her shoulders. She was looking at the green decorations in the hall with a smile on her face.

Behind them were three boys, one of whom had dark skin and narrow brown eyes.

Next to him was a tall, thin boy with delicate features.

Draco's blond hair stood out in the crowd, and his arrogant expression seemed to want to announce his arrival to everyone.

The handsome man and beautiful woman stood out in the hall, but without a doubt, the dark-haired girl they were surrounding, dressed in an ordinary Slytherin school uniform, attracted everyone's attention.

Even under the intense gazes of everyone, Thea remained calm and composed, giving Fane a slightly reserved smile:

"Greetings, Prefect Fane!"

"Hello, seniors!"

The younger students, who had been stunned for a moment, then came to their senses and greeted Thea and the others in unison.

Given the special significance of tonight's dinner, Thea politely returned the greetings to everyone who greeted her.

Harry stared blankly as Thea smoothly calmed all the excited people down before slowly settling into her seat in the front row.

His lips twitched, and the words of greeting swirled in his mind several times, but he ultimately didn't say them.

"Why are you so late?"

Fane asked with great intimacy, handing Thea the hot cocoa on the table, his smile never fading.

"I accidentally fell asleep just now, and Daphne and the others didn't want to wake me up."

Thea took the hot cocoa and explained to the other person with a smile.

"Is it because they're preparing for final exams?" Fane thought for a moment, then decided to reveal some information, "Tonight might be the year-end banquet, and there's a good chance there won't be any exams this semester!"

"what?"

Thea gave a timely look of surprise, which perfectly satisfied Fane's vanity.

“I overheard the professors talking about it… After all… I’m a prefect… so I’m fairly well-informed,” Fane continued.

"The prefect is really amazing..."

Thea continued to laugh and chime in, extracting more information from the other party, such as Potter and his team receiving a special contribution award, and several professors having spent quite a while looking at the collapsed area of ​​the castle…

Thea's smile became even more genuine. As long as she subtly praised him a few times, he would provide her with some information.

The sound of Dumbledore striking the golden cup finally interrupted their conversation.

The two stopped chatting and looked up at the professor's table in unison.

Dumbledore remained as amiable as ever. "Given the numerous locked-room murders that have occurred this academic year, we have now resolved them all!"

Everyone applauded enthusiastically, and Thea's face was full of joy.

"Two students made great contributions to solving this locked-room mystery: Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley!"

It was thanks to their courage and wisdom that the locked-room mystery was successfully resolved!

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, the entire Gryffindor erupted in cheers. No one knew who had spoken, but the cheers grew louder and louder.

"Both of them are Gryffindor!"

“Ron, that’s our brother!”

The twins exclaimed excitedly, and even the usually well-behaved Posi showed visible excitement on his face.

Unlike the Gryffindors' excitement, the Slytherins were reminded of some unpleasant memories by the cheers before them…

"Clap clap clap!"

Thea clapped first and then winked at everyone, thus enlivening the atmosphere at the Slytherin table.

Seeing Thea's gentle and calm expression, everyone's anxiety gradually subsided.

We have Thea this year!

I refuse to believe we'll lose to those Gryffindors!

"What are the divisions for our college again?"

Under the cover of the applause, Thea leaned closer to Fane and quietly asked.

Fane had just been dampened by the cheers from Gryffindor, but when he saw Thea leading the applause, a slight resentment surfaced in his heart.

But reason told him that this dissatisfaction should not have arisen.

When Thea asked about her college grades, he looked at her in surprise and said, "Don't you even bother to keep track of your college grades?"

Seeing the undisguised surprise in Fane's eyes, Thea explained, "I was just busy adding points!"

Recalling the points the other party had earned, all his dissatisfaction vanished. He smiled and patted Thea on the shoulder, saying:

"Slytherin's total score is now 582! Don't worry, even if Dumbledore is biased, he can't possibly give Gryffindor an extra 220 points!"

"That's good!" Thea said with some relief. "What about Ravenclaw?"

"468 points!"

The Frenchman accurately reported a number.

Thea was relieved, and just then Dumbledore continued speaking, so she turned her head to listen to him.

"Given the contributions of Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley, I have decided to add 50 points to Gryffindor for their bravery!"

Cheers erupted from the Gryffindor table, while the Slytherin students unconsciously clenched their fists.

"Besides the two students mentioned above, several other students deserve bonus points:"

Dumbledore read out the names one by one.

"Hermione Granger, Gryffindor,"

"Daphne Greengrass of Slytherin, add 20 points!"

"Pansy Parkinson, add 20 points!"

"Theodore Zabini, add 20 points!"

"Zabini Blaise, add 20 points!"

"The students above formed an escape room investigation team and accurately analyzed the types of monsters in the escape room, making a significant contribution to eliminating the dangers of the escape room. Therefore, they are awarded bonus points."

"Finally, since Draco Malfoy and Dorothea Black also created a defensive ring while researching, I will add 30 points to each of them!"

The Slytherin table fell silent for a brief second, followed by enthusiastic yet dignified applause and cheers that resounded throughout the entire table!

"722 points! We've created a miracle!"

Fane exclaimed excitedly, "This year he's the prefect, and Slytherin has created a miracle this year. This will add another chapter to his record!"

"This is also an honor that the entire Slytherin class has received!"

Thea said modestly with a smile on her face.

"In addition, the final exams for this academic year are cancelled!"

The hall erupted in noise again, and Thea noticed Hermione's particularly distressed expression.

"Therefore, this year's House Cup belongs to: Slytherin!"

With Dumbledore's solemn announcement, the atmosphere in Slytherin reached a fever pitch!

"To Honor!"

"Homage to Slytherin!"

"Homage to Slytherin!"
