Hogwarts: Nagini captured at the start

Chapter 104 The Master of Word Picking

From then on, things went relatively smoothly.

The three took turns apologizing. Neville hugged the apology gift, smiled, and said that last night's events were over. Under Robin's guidance, he put the claw ring on Rafer and put the ring on himself.

Neville pointed to the two small dots on the ring and said excitedly, "The red dot is Rafer, and the green dot is me. Hey, the two dots overlap? Oh dear, it turns out Rafer jumped on top of me."

Robin: →_→, young man, there's a reason why Leif runs away from home every now and then.

After leaving Neville's ward, the three went to find Madam Pomfrey to ask how Harry was. Upon learning that Harry was still unconscious, they asked the school doctor to send someone to notify them as soon as Harry woke up.

Then, the three of them went to the library to search for books related to "Parasite, Two-Faced Man".

Two days later, in the library, at a four-person table by the window.

After Hermione finished reading "Analysis of the Medicinal Properties of Moss", she looked up at the three books beside Robin.

"Robin, why did you borrow these books? They don't talk about magic, the properties of herbs, or any strange magical creatures."

Robin: Because Nagini, who lost her memories of being human, had to learn everything from scratch when she returned to being human.

"Oh, I'm tired of reading the same type of books. I want to read something new and have some fun."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young nurse wearing a white apron and a white pointed cap walked over with steady and quick steps.

"Harry's awake, isn't he?" Robin asked.

After the nurse nodded, the three of them stopped reading and ran all the way to the school hospital. They ran into Pomfrey and Dumbledore in the corridor of a private room.

"Haha, we're going to see Harry."

Ron said, panting.

"The patient needs rest; please come back tomorrow."

"But you promised."

"What I promised was that I would send someone to inform you as soon as Harry woke up. Not that you would visit him as soon as he woke up. Now go back."

Robin: →_→, ma'am, I would call you the number one nitpicker at Hogwarts.

Standing beside the school doctor, Dumbledore blinked his deep blue eyes. Robin, understanding his meaning, said, "Ms. Pomfrey, if I'm not mistaken, you and the headmaster just came from Harry's room. Harry doesn't fall asleep that quickly. Hermione, Ron, and I will keep our voices down, visit for a short while, and leave without disturbing his rest."

Robin emphasized the words "principal" and "little wizard," implying that not letting the three of them in would be discriminatory towards the visitors.

Sure enough, Ms. Pomfrey breathed a sigh of relief and agreed to let the three in, but only for five minutes.

Harry was overjoyed to see the three of them come in. After finding out what had happened after he fainted, he told them what Dumbledore had said to answer his questions.

For example, the reason why Quirrell's finger quickly turned to powder when it touched Harry's skin was because Harry's skin contained an amulet called "Mother's Love".

More than a decade ago, Lily knew it was a dead end, yet she still desperately protected Harry. That profound maternal love left a talisman under Harry's skin that will never disappear.

Quirrell is despicable, hypocritical, selfish, greedy, and hateful. He even sold his soul to the Dark Lord. He touched someone with a protective charm bearing a beautiful mark and tried to harm that person, so naturally he will pay a heavy price.

Also, the Invisibility Cloak, a Christmas gift, was a gift from Dumbledore.

He claimed that the Invisibility Cloak was left to him by chance by Harry's father, James Potter, and that he thought Harry would probably like it, so he gave it to Harry as a Christmas present.

He also said that when James was at Hogwarts, he would often put on an invisibility cloak in the middle of the night and sneak into the kitchen to steal food.

"He's kidding me. My dad would never use an invisibility cloak to steal food."

Harry said, panting. In his mind, the Invisibility Cloak was a very rare and noble magical artifact, and his father James was a great hero who bravely fought against evil forces.

How could the two combined be a gluttonous thief?

Robin, Hermione, and Ron believed it in their hearts.

Robin: Whether the gluttonous thief is true or not, we'll find out in a couple of days. Hagrid said he not only asked James's old classmates for photos, but also begged them to recall the funny things James did when he was in school.

"Harry, the school is holding its year-end banquet in the Great Hall on the first floor tomorrow night, and they'll also announce the winner of the House Cup. Do you want to come?" Robin asked.

"Alas, although we beat Ravenclaw in the Quidditch match the other day, Slytherin's score is too high; it's still in first place. However, the chicken legs and pudding at the feast should taste quite good."

"Ron, until the very last moment, no one can say for sure who will win the House Cup." After all, Dumbledore's ability to "turn the tide" is no joke.

"But."

Before Harry could finish speaking, the school doctor burst in, "You've been talking for twenty minutes. The patient needs rest. All three of you, get out of here."

"Harry, you absolutely have to come!"

Ron continued shouting as the school doctor shoved him out the door.

The year-end banquet, eagerly anticipated by many students, finally arrived.

Because Slytherin House is far ahead of the other three houses, the banquet decorations in the Great Hall are mainly green and silver. Even the stone wall behind the main guest seats is decorated with a huge banner with a green background and a silver snake.

"The place is full, and the banquet is about to start. Will Harry still come?" Ron asked, turning to the side.

"We're here," Robin said, looking towards the entrance of the auditorium.

What happens beneath the Living Plank is a secret, but at Hogwarts, secrets always spread like wildfire.

So when everyone saw Harry walk into the Great Hall, they all fell silent and stared intently at him. Harry himself lowered his eyes, bent over, and pretended not to notice the change in everyone's demeanor. He then walked to the Gryffindor table and sat down between Robin and Ron.

A short while later, Dumbledore arrived at the Great Hall. After taking his seat in the main seat, he said excitedly, "Before we knew it, we had spent another wonderful year at Hogwarts. Before we enjoy the sumptuous meal on the table, we will hold the annual House Cup awards ceremony."

After taking a parchment from Professor McGonagall, he continued, "The total scores for each house are out. Now, listen carefully. Fourth place: Gryffindor, 273 points; third place: Ravenclaw, 341 points; second place: Hufflepuff, 352 points; first place: Slytherin, 453 points."

The table where Malfoy was sitting erupted in thunderous cheers and applause. Dumbledore gestured for the students in green robes to quiet down.
