In any case, with the end of the exam, Tom and his group of first-year wizards were completely relaxed.
The little wizard who has been waiting for the senior year has also completed his exams and the holidays are coming soon.
The atmosphere in Hogwarts also began to relax.
The last dinner before the holidays is approaching, and it is also the time to decide the ownership of House Cup for this year.
The little wizards were all sitting on the long table in their academy, excitedly waiting for the final result.
Headmaster Dippet was still standing at the front. After he imposed a Sonorus on himself, he announced the final result.
"Everyone's study this year has finally come to the final stage. Perhaps along the way, we have gained joy and companions, or gained knowledge and abilities, but these have all passed..."
"Today, we have to bid farewell to this group of 7th grade students who have successfully graduated. They are also our role models. We encourage them and wish every little wizard can realize their own value in their future lives..."
"The seventh grade students stand up and everyone applauds!"
Following the order, the little wizards in grade 7 stood up.
All the little wizards in the audience expressed their blessings for them.
And some emotional little wizards even have slightly red eyes.
From today on, these wizards may never have the chance to return to Hogwarts. The learning stage of their lives will end here. In the days to come, they may have to face countless setbacks and troubles...
But the memories of this moment will also become an important part of their memories.
This feeling of excitement did not last long, Headmaster Dippet also waved for them to sit down, and then continued the following activities...
"When someone leaves, someone comes. Just next year, there will definitely be a new little wizard walking into this castle again. This is how the inheritance continues, and the will of Four Founders will also be continuously inherited in this update..."
"However, since we have talked about Four Founders, now we have come to the part of House Cup that everyone is looking forward to... Which college can get the right to decorate Great Hall for a whole year, and can also have its own college's logo appear everywhere in the castle?"
"Is it the astute Slytherin, the brave Gryffindor, the wise Ravenclaw, or the united Hufflepuff?..."
He could prolong his voice, and looking at the expectations of the little wizard below, he finally announced the result--
"... The final winner is--Slytherin!"
Following his announcement, the entire Great Hall was instantly filled with a lot of gray-green ribbons, a large number of luxurious-looking carpets were hung on the walls, and snake-shaped decorations appeared on the columns...
At this moment, many little wizards in Slytherin jumped up with excitement.
Even Slughorn had a flash of complacency in his eyes.
Being able to get such a House Cup is an honor in itself, and he is very satisfied with the result.
Especially, last year, he missed House Cup and lost to Ravenclaw.
Tom wasn't that excited at first, but looking at everyone around him, the atmosphere seemed to have infected him, and the corners of his mouth raised involuntarily. It seemed like a good feeling.
Along with Slytherin's excitement, Gryffindor's displeasure, Ravenclaw's annoyance, and Hufflepuff's eating.
The summer vacation of 1938 came like this.
The process of returning from Hogwarts to London is not that interesting.
Many little wizards may come and chat with their friends, or they may have agreed to visit each other's home together during the holidays.
But Tom is different. His position in Slytherin is somewhat special.
Among the first graders, he is the undoubted leader.
For this reason, in the eyes of other little wizards, he seems to be a bit majestic and distant. Following his orders and getting close to him are two different choices.
Obviously, the vast majority of little wizards chose the former.
They put themselves on a lower level.
And since he defeated Dawson, a large part of the second-year wizards also became his supporters, which further deepened the barrier.
Among Slytherin, it is almost impossible for him to make suitable friends.
Perhaps this is the loneliness of becoming a king...
Among other colleges, there are very few people who intend to have close contact with him.
Slytherin people are arrogant themselves. Generally speaking, the chief is even more arrogant. Almost no one is willing to be hot on the face but cold on the bottom.
Because of this stereotype, it is difficult for Tom to find suitable partners in other colleges.
Owen That little friend on the train who once cooperated with each other tacitly along the way is gradually drifting away...
Fortunately, Tom doesn't care that much.
Although he felt a little lonely in his heart, this level of loneliness was completely within his tolerance.
Seemingly aware of his situation, Malfoy, the peacock who always dressed up like a slut, came over to him.
"Oh, no one seems to dare to contact our chief, but unlike those mediocre guys, as the heir of Malfoy family, I am very willing to make friends with our genius chief..."
Malfoy's accent was full of arias, and it didn't sound like normal speech. Instead, it sounded a bit like the way Mia and the others spoke when performing stage plays.
However, Tom also heard some acceptance from his mouth.
Although this kind of acceptance between nobles is far from the closeness between partners, if there are enough interests to maintain it, it is also extremely strong.
As long as he always behaves strong enough, then Malfoy will definitely accept him like this, and Tom will also be able to obtain enough resources through this great noble.
After the last Dream Tea Party, he realized that the books in Hogwarts might be comprehensive enough.
However, many of the truly valuable secrets are in Restricted Section, and he has no chance to see them.
Then we might as well change our thinking and get such funding and some Dark Magic classics from the nobles. Perhaps the ones in the nobles' homes are darker and much scarier...
Facing the olive branch extended by Malfoy, Tom didn't hesitate and took it directly.
"My pleasure..."
The two hands overlap slightly, which also establishes the real say in Slytherin.
Tom is responsible for leading all lower grade Slytherin to ensure that they can have sufficient growth. As the incoming Prefect, Malfoy is responsible for deciding the policies of the entire Slytherin.
After entering the exclusive carriage of Malfoy, Tom received the first gift.
"I heard that you got the first Dark Magic--Phosphorus Fire Burn from Keir..."
"That Dark Magic is very suitable for starting Dark Magic, but you must remember to be wary of changes in your mentality. I don't want you to gradually turn into a lunatic who likes corpses..."
"It's best to only practice three times a day. The rest of the time, you can practice some other things. It's best to get more sun... I estimate that by the time you start school, you will have a more dazzling performance..."
"Since you started through this magic, then accept these two books. It will be very helpful for you to further master magic..."
Tom looked at the two books handed over by Malfoy, "The Value of Corpses" and "Lost Memorial Rituals".
These two books are obviously related to that magic, and may even be supplements to the magic of Phosphorus Fire Burn...
Tom is very satisfied with such a gift...
