Chapter 74: News From Big Mouth Hagrid!
"Ronald Weasley, what you have done is a disgrace to me and your father!"
"If Percy hadn't written me a letter, how long would you have kept it a secret? You actually contacted your big brother privately and sent a dragon over there?!"
"Aren't you afraid of causing trouble to your big brother Charlie? Ronald Weasley, you'd better explain it to me when you come back this time!."
"Also, when did your father and I teach you to slander your classmates? Dark wizard? Merlin's beard, how can you say such words!"
"If there is a next time, I will definitely ask Headmaster Dumbledore to expel you!"
Molly Weasley's angry voice came from the howler as Ron looked angrily at Percy Weasley who was sitting not far away.
Unexpectedly, a traitor appeared among his own brothers.
The howler then destroyed itself into pieces which later burned to ashes after conveying the contents of the letter.
After a short silence, loud laughter erupted in the great hall.
For a young wizard, receiving a howler from their parents in public is one of the most embarrassing things that can happen.
Draco looked at Ron's blushing face that looked even redder than his hair and also saw that tears were about to pour from his eyes.
The Weasley twins came to Ron, one on the left and one on the right and proceeded to pick him up and gesture around.
"On behalf of Ronnie, thank you all!"
"I would like to introduce our little brother, Ronniekins."
"Sod off!" Ron broke free from the two and yelled at them.
This drew ridicule from other people in the great hall.
In fact, the last few weeks have not been easy for Ron and Harry. The reason is that the two have deducted too many points from Gryffindor.
Even their own housemates have some complaints in their hearts.
Not surprisingly, this year Gryffindor will have the fewest points of the four houses.
The professors who were eating looked at the lively atmosphere with a happy smile on their face.
It's just that they didn't know if they were infected by the little wizard's emotions or because of Molly Weasley's howler!
The following week, Hogwarts students spent it having fun every day.
No classes, no homework.
They gather in groups with their friends to play together. This is their ideal school life.
Unfortunately, such days are too short.
Wait until the results of the exams are announced.
Many little wizards will never have such a good time during summer vacation as they are having now.
…
(The seventh floor of the castle.)
Lucas came out of the Room of Requirement again, looking at the door slowly disappearing behind him his expression became a little helpless.
For a week, he searched through a third of the room But Ravenclaw's diadem was not found.
"Looks like there's no hope of finding it this semester."
'The exam results will be announced today, and tomorrow night Dumbledore will announce the House Cup. The day after tomorrow Hogwarts will enter the long summer vacation.'
Lucas tapped his robe a few times with his wand, causing his dusty robes to become as good as new.
"The results are out, finally!"
"I can't watch it, if I get anything less than an Acceptable I'll be grounded for the summer."
"It's okay, be brave, you're a Gryffindor!"
Two girls walked past Lucas.
After hearing what the two said, Lucas learned that the results had been announced.
Walking to the front of the teaching area.
A huge piece of parchment is being posted on the bulletin board which records everyone's achievements.
Being enchanted, the students just need to write their names with their wands for the parchment to show their respective grades.
If you are not very confident about your grades, you can choose to check when there are few people or look for it yourself among hundreds of names.
"Oh~ look who this is? It's Lucas who disappeared for a week, I thought you wouldn't come!"
Hearing voices behind him, Lucas smiled slightly, turned around and hugged the other person in his arms.
"Sorry, I've been really busy this week."
Hermione struggled slightly, but she gave up when she couldn't break free.
But seeing the eyes paying attention to them as well as the envious eyes of some girls around her, it made her feel shy and a bit smug at the same time.
"Really, this happens every time. What are you looking for in the Room of Requirement anyway?"
"A very useful alchemy item, I haven't found it yet, I will let you know when I find it."
Seeing Lucas' mysterious look, Hermione hummed softly and walked to the bulletin board.
As she wrote her name, Hermione Granger's results soon appeared in front of everyone.
"oh!"
See Hermione's all O's except for one written test.
There were exclamations all around immediately.
The little witch turned to look at Lucas with a slightly smug expression.
"Miss Granger is amazing!"
"of course!"
Seeing her own results, Hermione could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
At least she proved to everyone that she is qualified to stand beside Lucas.
Hermione, who was completely relaxed, immediately pulled Lucas and her friend Cho Chang back to the bulletin board.
"Let me see your results."
As a top student from Ravenclaw, the house of the smart, Cho Chang certainly has good grades.
Then the eyes of the two women turned to Lucas.
"All right!"
Lucas reluctantly pulled out his wand making his grades appear on the parchment.
He doesn't know which professor pranked him, because when his results appeared, many ribbons suddenly floated down from the bulletin board.
Moreover, Lucas' results were enlarged to the entire board.
Look at the golden "1" in front of his name, everyone understands that this represents the glory of the first place in the whole grade.
When they see that every subject under the name is O, many people couldn't help but exclaim.
Harry and his friends were also in the crowd.
"Lucas is really good. He knows a lot and studies well. No wonder the professors and classmates like him."
Seeing Lucas' achievements, Harry was very envious.
"Oh, come on Harry, he reminds me of Percy, that nerd, he shouldn't be in Gryffindor!"
Ron complained dissatisfied, he hated two people the most in his life.
One is Draco Malfoy, and the other is his big brother Percy Weasley.
Now it looks like there will be one more, Lucas Grindelwald.
Seeing Lucas receiving compliments from the crowd Ron felt even more uncomfortable.
The Weasley twins, who had been lurking aside for a long time, smiled at each other.
The two separated from the crowd and wrote "Ronald Weasley" on the bulletin board
"What are you doing? Stop!"
When Ron found out, it was too late to stop it.
Fred and George didn't think it was obvious enough so they worked their magic to amplify Ron's name even further.
Looking at his poor grades, the twins said with a pitiful look: "Poor Ronniekins".
"When mom knows your grades, we're afraid she will nag you for the whole summer vacation."
"She might even wake you up every morning so you can review your homework."
"Oh Merlin! How pathetic!"
Ron looked at his grades of two Ds (dreadful) and a T (troll).
He was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and get in.
"Damn, why is my history of magic grade T"
"How in the world can anyone answer Cuthbert Binns' questions?"
Harry heard his friend's complaints and didn't know how to explain them.
In fact, his own grades were not very satisfactory.
Before the exam he was all immersed in his detective work, too focused on the philosopher's stone to pay attention to his studies.
But he's still better than Ron, at least no one cares about his grades.
[Congratulations on the new achievement: the first (only) grade reward: 200 achievement points.]
Lucas was relieved by the belated system prompt.
As long as Slytherin gets the House Cup the next day, he will be able to get a chance to draw the diamond lottery.
"Two beautiful ladies, would you like to follow me to the great hall to see what delicious food is available?"
Hermione and Cho Chang looked at each other and smiled.
"Of course, handsome sir."
The three top students left the bulletin board with smiles on their faces.
A group of young wizards were left thinking hard about how to explain their unsatisfactory grades to their parents.
The trio of Harry also left the bulletin board because Harry suddenly discovered something very suspicious.
How did Hagrid's dragon egg come about?
He thought it necessary to chat with Hagrid.
Of course Draco has no objection since he is in a very good mood at the moment.
Although the results of his exams are not as good as Lucas and Hermione, they're not too bad and they're still among the best in Slytherin.
As a qualified Slytherin he couldn't let go of such a good opportunity, so all the way he said some weird things making fun of Ron.
Ron was so angry that he wanted to punch him.
The three of them came to Hagrid in such a noisy way. At this time, he was sitting in front of the house and playing some Scottish tunes on a wooden flute.
A few simple words of dialogue and Hagrid told the story of how he got the dragon egg.
"I drank a lot of wine with that man. Later, the man said that he had a dragon egg in his hand and if I wanted it, we could play cards and gamble, but he had to find out whether I had the ability to raise a dragon."
"Heh, who am I? So I told him that I can even make Fluffy submissive, that man seems to be very interested in the three-headed dog."
"But I think he should be like this. After all, three-headed dogs are so rare, so I told him that Fluffy is actually easy to deal with. He likes to listen to music, so as long as there is some beautiful music, he will fall asleep."
The three of them widened their eyes in surprise.
By the time Hagrid found out that he had slipped the tongue again, they were already running back to the castle.
"We need to find Headmaster Dumbledore immediately."
The three came to Professor McGonagall and expressed their demands out of breath.
"I'm very sorry gentlemen. Professor Dumbledore is not at school right now. He has received a letter from the Ministry of Magic and has left for London on his broom."
"Merlin, what should we do!"
After being reprimanded by Professor McGonagall, the trio walked out of the classroom dejectedly.
Unfortunately, they met Professor Snape passing by at the door and looking at his gloomy face, Harry immediately decided to go to protect the Philosopher's Stone tonight.
"Harry, I think what Professor McGonagall said is right, if we continue to act carelessly, we might actually be expelled."
Ron didn't seem to want to go, but Harry made up his mind: "Don't you understand? If Snape got the Philosopher's Stone, he might use it to start a school of the dark arts or give the Philosopher's Stone to Voldemort."
"At that time, we can only wait to die, so we must stop him!"
Looking at Harry with firm eyes, Draco always felt that something was wrong so he decided to go back and ask Lucas later.
They agreed to meet on the moving stairs at ten o'clock in the evening, and Draco hurried to the Slytherin common room.
