The King of Flags at Hogwarts

Harry sighed. "We lost so many points recently, I'm wondering if we can make up for some of them, especially since the Quidditch Cup isn't being held this semester."

Ron snatched the book from Harry's hands and put it aside: "You should rest now. You don't need to worry about the House Cup this semester."

"why?"

"I don't know what happened, but since the cold wave hit ten days ago, Hufflepuff Academy has been getting a lot of extra points every day, and now they are far ahead of other academies."

Where did Hufflepuff get so many bonus points? This question intrigued not only Ron but all the students, because no one had ever seen a professor give Hufflepuff bonus points.

Except for Poppy.

"Bobby Evans' enthusiastic participation in saving the herbs in the greenhouse earns Hufflepuff 20 points!"

"Bobby Evans has worked hard to ensure the supply of fresh fruits and vegetables for Hogwarts. Hufflepuff, add thirty points!"

"Excellent fire control! Bobby Evans maintained the temperature in the school's greenhouse. I'm giving Hufflepuff an extra fifty points!"

……

Sprowse has been walking on air these past few days, she's so happy. With the end of the semester approaching, Hufflepuff's house points are still far ahead, and if nothing unexpected happens, this year's House Cup winner will most likely be her Hufflepuff!

Poppy is so cute and useful!

You mean she's good at adding points?

No, no, no, you're too naive. The real advantage of her is that you can get extra points using her name, and the other three deans won't object!

After enduring the coldest spring in history, as we approach the end of May, the temperature is finally starting to warm up.

After the final exams were over, Bobby became increasingly certain that the cold snap was her fault.

Because the datura plant matured right after the final exams. What a coincidence!

Two days later, the moment Hermione came back to life, Bobby brought Jady to visit her, followed by Matilda.

Meanwhile, Harry and Ron were still playing wizard chess in the common room. Ugh, men!

Hermione! You're finally awake!

"Bobby?"

Hermione was somewhat surprised that Harry and Ron were not the first to visit her.

Bobby chuckled and pulled a large fruit basket from her chest; it contained the best quality fruit from her little greenhouse.

"I'm sorry, Hermione, it's my fault. You've been bedridden for almost the entire school year."

Hermione was a little confused. "I remember making eye contact with that monster and then passing out. What does that have to do with you?"

"Wait a minute!" Hermione suddenly realized what Bobby had said. "You mean I've been bedridden for almost the entire school year?"

“Yes, Hermione,” Jady said gently, “the second year is over.”

Hermione was stunned; she had missed an entire school year!

The clever girl instantly understood why Poppy was apologizing, because Hermione clearly remembered that at the beginning of second grade, Poppy had said, "I bet you'll still be number one..."

Miss Granger was on the verge of tears. "So, all the exams are over now?"

Bobby kept her head down, not daring to look Hermione in the eye. She had indeed said those words on purpose, but she never imagined that it would cause Hermione to be bedridden for a year.

Knowing how Bobby was feeling, Jady said to Hermione, "Yes, the exams are over. If nothing unexpected happens, Bobby will be first, and I'll be second."

Hermione's eyes were brimming with tears. To be precise, she was last in her class this year... For Miss Beaver, this was a disaster no less than being expelled from school.

"I'm sorry, Hermione..." Bobby apologized again. Seeing Hermione on the verge of tears, Bobby wanted to cry too. Ever since she had a good cry in the Chamber of Secrets, it was as if she had opened the door to a new world of tears, and now she was very easily moved to tears.

"No, no, Bobby, it's not your fault... You must have done it unintentionally."

Two large tears rolled down Hermione's face, making Bobby feel even more distressed.

Only Jady shook her head.

Harry and Ron rushed in, their faces beaming: "Hermione, we heard you're all better?"

The days without Hermione are finally coming to an end, and from now on, they have someone to rely on again.

Hermione quickly wiped away her tears and smiled, "Harry, Ron! You're here."

Ron, holding up the Daily Prophet, shouted, "Have you heard? The great villain Grindelwald has escaped from Nurmengard!"

Bobby looked at Ron in astonishment.

Ron continued, "The Hungarian Ministry of Magic is utterly incompetent; the papers say Grindelwald has been gone from Nurmengard for at least a year!"

Bobby had just peeled an apple and handed it to Hermione when she turned to her and asked, "Why are you so agitated about the Hungary situation?"

Ron's voice rose even louder: "How can it not concern us! The newspapers say Grindelwald may have infiltrated our country! The Aurors are already monitoring this closely!"

Hermione's attention had completely shifted, and she began to show off her knowledge again: "I read it in the book! Grindelwald wanted to overturn the Act of Secrecy, and he even almost burned down Paris! It was Professor Dumbledore who defeated him."

Ron was incredibly excited: "Yes! This dark devil is even more terrifying than the Mysterious Man, he burned Paris down!" Ron shuddered, "What if he's really in England?!"

Bobby turned her gaze to the window; she was really struggling to hold back her laughter.

Ron, do you know that your Defense Against the Dark Arts course this year was basically taught by the Dark Lord, whom you claim is even more terrifying than Voldemort?

Poppy Unit-01 suddenly shouted, "Quiet! Miss Granger has just woken up and needs to rest! All of you, get out!"

Bobby Unit 2 stood up, smiled, and squeezed Hermione's little hand. "Get some rest, Hermione. You're welcome to come to my family's ranch this summer. I'll help you catch up on your school year's lessons."

Ron perked up again: "Oh, Hermione, you don't know, the Bobby family's ranch is absolutely amazing! You have to..."

"Get out of here, all of you!" Madam Pomfrey was furious. She started to act, and everyone except Bobby Unit 2 was shoved hard by her. Ron was even pushed out of the infirmary and rolled on the ground in a sorry state.

"Mrs. Pomfrey is almost as strong as Bobby!"

"But Mrs. Pomfrey's name is Bobby, didn't you know that, Ron?"

Ron: "Huh?" Σ(☉▽☉"a

Inside the principal's office.

"You don't actually need to leave. The Aurors might not be able to trace it back to you."

“No, Albus, I have to admit that the little guy’s curse is very powerful. I can sense that if I stay here, the Aurors will definitely find me.”

"But Bobby still needs your guidance."

"Haha, don't joke around. Does Poppy need my guidance? She'll be able to go toe-to-toe with me by Christmas Eve."

Dumbledore took a big sip of coffee, freshly brewed by the house-elves at Grindelwald's behest. It was fragrant, but bitter. That's why he preferred candy—because it was sweet.

“Hey, that’s my coffee!” Grindelwald protested.

"So, are you still going back to Nurmengard?"

“Of course, they need a quiet Grindelwald, so I’ll give them one.”

He walked to the window, basking in the bright sunshine outside. "Who would have thought that just a few days ago, this day was gloomy and cold?"

"Even this once-in-a-millennium cold wave cannot stop the sun from shining on the earth, can it?"

Chapter 72 Christine's Lilac Letter

For the end-of-term dinner, the entire auditorium was decorated in Hufflepuff's yellow and black color scheme.

Professor Sprout arrived at the auditorium early, beaming with joy.

Apart from Snape, almost all the professors congratulated her in advance. He looked at the three rows of long tables in his house, where the little wizards who had turned from Squibs were clearly distinguished from the pure-blood little wizards.

He sighed inwardly; if things continued like this, it would be difficult for Slytherin to win the House Cup.

Bobby sat next to Jady, looking very down. She had inexplicably burst into tears that afternoon, which terrified Jady and Matilda.

For some reason, Bobby felt like crying, as if she had lost something precious that afternoon forever.

Dumbledore stood up and began his final summary.

A lot has happened this school year!

"But in any case, we must first congratulate Hufflepuff on winning this year's Academy Cup!"

The badgers' enthusiastic celebration nearly lifted the auditorium off its feet.

None of the houses objected to Hufflepuff's victory, including Slytherin. Although many of the snakes looked down on the badgers, it was better for the badgers to win once than for the foolish lion to take the crown.

"We said goodbye to Gilderoy Lockhart and welcomed Professor Gail Depp, whose teaching quality has been evident throughout the year."

"It's just a pity that Professor Depp will not be able to continue teaching at Hogwarts next academic year due to personal reasons. I think we should give him a farewell round of applause."

The young wizards clapped enthusiastically; Professor Depp, with his humor, wit, and extensive knowledge, had won over almost everyone's hearts this school year.

Ron clapped his hands so hard they turned red, and said to Harry beside him, "It's such a shame. I really like Professor Depp. I wish he could continue teaching."

Harry nonchalantly chimed in, "Yeah, yeah..."

In Harry's view, as long as Snape wasn't the teacher, it wasn't a big problem.

Of all the young wizards, only Hermione looked completely bewildered. Who was this Professor Depp?

Bobby looked at Grindelwald, who was all smiles on the professor's bench.

Is the old man leaving? That makes sense. Curses are ethereal and intangible, but once you're hit by one, it can be quite troublesome. Even someone as powerful as Grindelwald wouldn't take the risk lightly.

Over the past year, Grindelwald has taken meticulous care of her like a grandfather, and like a strict teacher, he has gradually corrected her minor flaws and bad habits.

Now that they are about to part ways, the tears she had managed to hold back that afternoon, which she had managed to stop, were about to burst forth again.

She took a deep breath, holding back her tears, but felt empty inside, unsure whether it was because of Grindelwald or something else.

Although her eyes were still red, Bobby managed a big smile because she felt Grindelwald looking at her.

The old demon king closed his eyes and nodded slightly, his face saying, "The future is yours."

Poppy knew what he meant and nodded firmly in response. Having taken over all of Grindelwald's power, was Poppy really the Dark Lord? After all, he was a member of the Sorcerer Party!

In any case, Harry Potter's second year of school passed without major incident.

Having made a promise with Hermione to meet at Evans Ranch in August, Bobby Apparated Harry back home.

Severus Snape was also with them.
