The night is getting darker, but the core members of the strategy team gathered in the hall have not dispersed. They are still waiting for the assessment results from Hermione, Hannah, and Luna. The girls' time this time is compared to
It used to be longer.
This means that they are very likely to go further than anyone else in this assessment, and they may even...
Ding ding ding——
At this moment, outside the foyer, the four huge hourglasses filled with gems of different colors, symbolizing the college points of the four colleges, suddenly shook, and a series of tinkling sounds were heard.
The little wizards turned their heads in unison and looked at the academy hourglass that made the sound in surprise.
I saw beautiful diamonds and rubies falling like rain from the giant hourglasses of Hufflepuff House and Gryffindor House, hitting the pile of gems below, making a pleasant and sweet sound.
"What the hell is this?"
Marcus Flint was stunned for a moment, watching helplessly as Gryffindor's score rose rapidly, almost surpassing Slytherin House. His face was filled with countless question marks, and his mind flashed subconsciously.
Through all kinds of shady things.
Could it be that this is why Gryffindor and Hufflepuff have higher scores than them?
Because every night, in the dead of night, these two colleges will secretly get a little extra points?
On the other side, the face of the Ravenclaw female prefect, who was originally at the bottom, also became strange. If it was because of the bonus points brought by the actions of the three little witches, then why did their hourglass have no hourglass at all?
movement.
Luna Lovegood is obviously a pure-blooded Ravenclaw eaglet!
Even if there is no hope of surpassing the score this year, if it can increase slightly, at least it will not always be ridiculed by the other three colleges.
As for the Hufflepuff and Gryffindor students, although they were full of joy, because the extra points came so suddenly this time, they did not immediately celebrate with joy. It would be embarrassing if it was a magic malfunction.
Before the little wizards could fully recover, Harry Potter and others sitting on the edge of the auditorium suddenly stood up excitedly, waved vigorously towards the stairs outside the courtyard, and shouted expectantly.
"Hey, look, Hermione and the others are back!"
"Elena is here too! In other words..."
Following the reminders from Harry, Draco and others, the students gathered in the auditorium all turned their attention away from the hourglass.
Percy Weasley took a deep breath and looked expectantly at the four girls who were gradually approaching.
"Hermione, how's your assessment progress this time...? Do you know what's going on with this college score?"
The auditorium instantly became quiet.
All the little wizards in the strategy team looked nervously and expectantly at the four girls who walked into the hall. Although they had already made some guesses, all the answers would not be revealed until the girls themselves said it.
"us……"
Hermione glanced at Elena beside her and answered in a complicated tone.
"It should be regarded as passing the level, right? Professor Dumbledore added thirty points as a reward for each of us based on our performance. According to the professor, all students who pass the level will receive a certain amount of points as rewards."
"Wait, what about Luna? Why doesn't our Ravenclaw score..."
Penelope Crevat, Ravenclaw's next prefect of girls, frowned and couldn't help but interrupt and asked.
Facing this future senior, Luna Lovegood sighed helplessly and took the initiative to explain.
“The professor said that because I haven’t completed the formal branching yet, I can’t cash in the bonus points right now – after I officially enroll in September, the bonus points I got this year will be added to the college I’m assigned to...
"
"Miss Lovegood, Slytherin will always be your warmest home! You are a born Slytherin!"
Before Luna could finish her words, Slytherin's female prefect's eyes suddenly lit up, she couldn't wait to step forward, enthusiastically took the hand of the slightly confused Little Moon, and said softly with a smile on her face.
"Congratulations on successfully passing the test. We have already prepared a celebration banquet for you in the lounge. You can stay in our Slytherin College tonight. Well, Elena should have told you that our college has arranged
The cold lunch would be great!”
"Miss Das, are you going a little too far? Let me be fair..."
Percy Weasley frowned, coughed slightly, and stretched out his hand to stop the Slytherin female prefect.
"As everyone knows, Luna's study arrangements this year are all in accordance with the Gryffindor House schedule, and Hermione is usually responsible for guiding her to live and study in school. This is the decision of the professors!"
"Ahem, I have something to say. Weasley, please listen to what I say from the perspective of a mere passerby..."
Looking at Luna who was at a loss, Cedric Diggory patted Percy on the shoulder helplessly.
"I think Professor Dumbledore is right. Just like you always thought that Elena belonged to Gryffindor, but she still firmly chose Hufflepuff. The most important thing is Luna's own decision. Everything will be in the end.
We still have to wait until the sorting ceremony next semester to know the result. Don’t forget, Hannah and Elena are both Hufflepuffs..."
"Cedric, I used to believe it, but since this year! Hey, Hufflepuff!"
Percy Weasley snapped open Cedric's hand on his shoulder and said angrily.
Ever since the big scuffle with Slytherin shortly after the start of this year, Hufflepuff House has obviously had a very strange atmosphere. Although it usually looks as honest and honest as before, it is always cold at critical moments.
After all, Gryffindor House suffered a lot in this regard.
Cedric Diggory chuckled and did not choose to continue bickering with Percy Weasley. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Elena and the girls around her again, and asked curiously.
"So, dear ladies, what are the next two levels? Can you tell us now?"
"I'm sorry, Dumbledore asked us to keep the specific content secret. However, there is a reference..."
Hannah shook her head, hesitated a little, and stepped forward under everyone's expectant eyes.
boom!
A heavy tome was slapped on the long dining table in the center of the auditorium.
The students now noticed that Hannah Abbott had been holding a huge book in her arms, which looked like a thickened version of the History of Magic textbook. The only difference was that this book looked like
A little bigger and heavier.
"Although we cannot disclose it directly, Professor Apokalis has specially compiled a detailed summary of the required test points, which covers the knowledge that each grade may use in subsequent levels, which should be able to help everyone..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Looking blankly at the heavy tome, the auditorium fell into a brief silence as if a collective petrification spell had been cast - the faces of Fred Weasley and George Weasley
The whole page was filled with resistance in an instant.
"Well, other than that, is there any other news..."
Marcus Flint's cheeks twitched and he tried to force out an ugly smile.
"Elena, we specially prepared a cold dinner for you to celebrate your success. Today is such a worthy celebration..."
"Okay, okay, I really can't do anything to you."
Looking around at the expectant little wizards gathered in the auditorium, Elena sighed helplessly.
"I can secretly tell you a little bit of inside information, but you have to keep it secret for me. You must not say that I disclosed it to you, otherwise the professors are likely to change the rules again in the future and no longer allow me to help you."
"Of course, don't worry about that!" Percy Weasley nodded seriously.
"That's right! Anyone who dares to leak the news is the enemy of all students!" Marcus glanced at the auditorium threateningly.
"Hufflepuff will never betray a friend, you know that!" Cedric echoed.
"Don't worry, Elena, we will only say that this is the result of our thinking." Penello smiled slightly.
"Well, of course I believe everyone, after all, we are in the same group!"
Elena narrowed her eyes happily, and the little fur on her head shook excitedly.
"The first is the first level. I suggest you remember to collect plant branches when passing the level. These task items will significantly reduce the difficulty of the second level. Of course, remember to be gentle, otherwise they may get angry...
…”
"... On the giant chessboard in the third level, after a chess piece is knocked down, it will bring attribute enhancement effects to other chess pieces in the same camp. At the same time, killing the opponent's chess pieces will also gain attribute improvements - however, this mode will only be used in the next level.
It takes effect in the chess state."
"The fourth level, oh, this level is not difficult. You just need to trust your companions and the works of other students... Theoretically speaking, even if it doesn't work once, you can always get a potion that is easy to crack and pass the level smoothly if you try a few more times...
…”
"And as long as you pass the fourth level, I can give you a little help. If nothing else, everyone will definitely be able to successfully reach the final level. As for the last level... I'm sorry, I don't know.
can not say."
"The only thing that can be disclosed is that each team that completes the customs clearance will win a certain amount of bonus points for its college based on its performance. Of course, bonuses will also be distributed..."
In the disdainful and complicated eyes of the three Hermiones, Elena raised her finger and told the exclusive secret bit by bit.
Due to the request of Professor Dumbledore and Professor Apocalypse, after the dungeon was cleared, they had to stay on the same front with Elena and temporarily cooperate with the actions of this white-haired dumpling until more than 60% of the students in the school had completed the task.
Assessment.
According to the customs of this land, when most people are immune to a phenomenon, they can provide protection for other people who have not experienced these tests, so that other students will not be psychologically burdened by the assessment content.
And as compensation for being unconscionable and collaborating to conceal important information...
Professor Dumbledore and Professor Apokalis made an offer that Hermione, Hannah, and Luna could not refuse.
…
A moment later, Hogwarts Great Hall.
The little wizards who had finally collected valuable information dispersed with satisfaction, and returned to their respective common rooms in small groups to recharge their batteries and confidently prepare for tomorrow's dungeon clearance plan.
"Hey, Elena, where are you going?"
Hermione Granger stretched out her hand, accurately grabbed the white-haired dumpling next to her who was about to run away, and asked with a half-smile.
"Well, um... I plan to take Luna to the Slytherin lounge for a buffet..."
Elena froze and explained quickly with a smile.
"No need, I can find the way."
Luna Lovegood blinked and interrupted with a serious look.
"I'll just go alone. Whatever you want to eat, I'll bring it back to you later. According to the previous agreement, you need to undergo justice in the Gryffindor dormitory, so I suggest Elena that you'd better
Don't continue to cheat."
"Han, Hannah, why don't we go back to Hufflepuff College? I haven't been with you for a long time..."
"Don't worry about that, Elena. I will sleep with Hermione tonight. Professor Dumbledore has agreed."
Hannah Abbott smiled sweetly, revealing two cute dimples on her delicate little face.
"After all, we have finally passed such a wonderful test. I think we all still have a lot to say and a lot of things to do tonight. After all, whether it was the fake death you wrote or acted, or the subsequent battle, it was very interesting...
…”
"Okay, Elena, this is what you promised yourself -"
Hermione stretched out her fingers, played with the little hair on the head of the white-haired dumpling, and said leisurely.
"We cooperate with your acting, and you let us handle it. If you disagree or break the contract temporarily, Professor Dumbledore has promised to catch you and petrify you personally. You are so smart, you will not break the contract easily, right?"
"But didn't I apologize, Hermione? At worst, I won't give it up a hundred times. We are considered a tie..."
"No, a hundred times a hundred times! If I lose, I will do what I say! I will never regret it!"
Hermione's face turned slightly red, she bit her lip and said firmly.
"Anyway, these two things cannot be confused. Since you fell into our hands today, you will definitely... hum..."
"Wait, wait... Hannah, Hermione, do you remember that I just healed all your wounds tonight? In fact, I was forced to do so. I have always been very resistant in my heart. You must
You want to hear my explanation."
"But why do I feel that Sister Elena, you seem to be quite happy all the time..."
Luna Lovegood tilted her head and asked softly.
Hearing Luna's question, Hermione and Hannah looked at each other and nodded in unison.
"Oh? So you're still very happy?"
"Luna, go and come back quickly, we'll wait for you to come back together... settle the rewards!"
