In the auditorium, the atmosphere seemed particularly strange.

On one side were the Gryffindors who were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

On one side was a mask of pain for all the Slytherins who were about to collapse.

And sandwiched between them are the people of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.

"That's not fair!"

Draco gritted his teeth and said, "Obviously Quirrell can be said to have been defeated by John alone! Why did he add 200 points to Gryffindor, but only 110 points to Slytherin? Is it just because they have more points?

Two accompanying burdens?"

The female prefect named Taylor who likes to make desserts also came over and said with a gloomy face:

"I see, it is because Dumbledore prefers Harry Potter, the savior, that he wants to give Gryffindor a House Cup so that Harry Potter's first year can be more glorious!"

As soon as he said this, the surrounding Slytherins all agreed.

The prospective graduates of Slytherin's seventh grade had their heads lowered, and their expressions were so ugly that it was hard to describe.

This Academy Cup has a special meaning to them.

Prior to this, Slytherin had won six consecutive Academy Cups.

As long as they win this one again, it will be a Grand Slam for them!

This also means,

Seven whole years!

An entire class of Hogwarts students!

They Slytherins dominate!

This is the best graduation gift they give themselves!

For this reason, they have been working very hard throughout the year and have not dared to slack off at all!

In the end, Dumbledore used this reason to score Gryffindor so many points!

This is an insult to their efforts!

Also an insult to John!

You must know that the person who did the most to stop Quirrell this time was clearly their Slytherin, John!

In the end, Dumbledore only gave John 10 more symbolic points!

This is simply deliberately favoring Gryffindor!

For a moment, many Slytherins had red eyes.

And more Slytherins stared at Dumbledore and Gryffindors with resentment in their eyes.

Even Snape, who was sitting at the guest of honor seat, had a gloomy expression at the moment and secretly clenched his fists.

Of course, John was not in a good mood either.

Although he had already expected that this might be the case, when it actually happened, he still had some grudges.

Dumbledore went too far this time!

At this moment, Dumbledore raised his wand.

As a series of sparks shot out from the tip of the staff, and a sound like thunder boomed, the auditorium became quiet again.

Dumbledore looked around at the crowd, smiled and took out the small wooden box.

"Finally, we still have one score to distribute!"

Dumbledore said, "Just a few months ago, Mr. John Shafik showed me an unprecedented way of cooking that combines potion refining with cooking! It is difficult for me to explain to you in words alone.

Describe how wonderful that dish is! I can only say that it is a creativity that only a genius can create!

After discussing with Mr. Shafiq, I handed over this creation to the Ministry of Magic for publication and promotion.

And just a few days ago, I received the notice!"

Dumbledore looked at John, "Mr. John Shafik! The magical cooking method you created has been welcomed by wizards all over the world. Almost all wizard families believe that you have created a new way for them."

Their cooking methods and lifestyles have brought great help to their lives and entertainment!

In view of your contribution to our knowledge reserve or entertainment industry, Sir Merlin has decided to award you the [Merlin Knights Third Class Medal] after deliberation!

At the same time, because of your achievements, Slythering gets 100 points!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire auditorium fell into a deathly silence.

Even John himself was confused.

In order to solidify his image of loving food in Dumbledore's eyes, he did submit a paper and recipe to Dumbledore as promised.

He didn't take this matter to heart at all, and almost forgot about it.

but now……

What kind of joke is this?

That is the [Medal of Merlin]!

The highest honor in the wizarding world!

Even if it's level three, it shouldn't be such a child's play, right?

I just made two dishes, messed around with some magic ingredients, and made them have some potion effects, so I won the award?

Well...it seems like this is not impossible.

After all, John remembered that a certain Defense Against the Dark Arts professor had won a [Medal of the Order of Merlin, Third Class] just for plagiarizing and writing a book.

"Mr. John Shafiq, please come on stage to receive the honor!"

Dumbledore's voice interrupted John's thoughts.

He walked up to the podium in confusion.

"Congratulations, John, you did a great job!"

As Dumbledore spoke, he opened the wooden box and pinned one of the medals on John's left chest.

"Now," Dumbledore straightened John's body so that he could show everyone the medal on his chest, "I want to officially announce that this year's Academy Cup winner is - Slytherin!"

The silence in the auditorium was broken!

If someone were standing outside the auditorium at this moment, they might think there was an explosion.

The cheers on the Slytherin table grew louder and louder.

Draco, Goyle and Crabbe hugged each other, jumping and cheering.

Further away, the prospective graduates of seventh grade blushed even more and shouted filial piety like crazy.

Snape, who was at the guest of honor seat, also breathed a sigh of relief, but then his mood became complicated.

On one hand, he felt proud and wanted to laugh at John's ability to turn the tide, but on the other hand, he still didn't like John's messy magic cooking.

This conflicting emotion makes his expression look very wonderful.

On the other side of the auditorium, Gryffindor and others also applauded John.

This time they were convinced of their defeat.

I would like to ask who in history is like John, who received the [Merlin Order of Merlin, Third Class] at the age of eleven or twelve?

There is no shame in losing to such a genius!

Dumbledore loudly announced the start of the banquet amid the commotion.

John also returned to the Slytherin Table.

The prospective graduates of Slytherin all rushed to shake hands with John with red eyes and kept thanking John.

Michelle, Harry and others also rarely refused the temptation of delicious food and came over to celebrate with John.

Looking at John surrounded by the crowd, Draco was also emotionally agitated.

'Sure enough, John is omnipotent!'

Draco thought so.

As early as the night of the sorting ceremony, Draco could see that John was extraordinary.

After all, it is impossible for ordinary people to beat him, the legitimate son of the Malfoy family, at every turn.

The subsequent incidents of flying lessons, potions materials assistant incident, midnight duel incident... and the final incident of defeating Quirrell and the Dark Lord under the trap door all made Draco more determined that "John will become a great person in the future"

.

Now, John has received the [Merlin Order of Merlin Third Class Medal] again!

I'm afraid this is even more outstanding than the Dark Lord's time, right?

It seemed like he had made a decision.

Draco swallowed nervously, then squeezed to John's side and shouted to John:
Chapter completed!
