Hogwarts, where the stars shine

In Hogwarts, there are some secrets that have existed for thousands of years but no one knows about them, and some things are only known to everyone after one night.

Suddenly, all the students in the school knew what happened last night.

In the morning, everyone noticed that Slytherin had rested in the Great Hall last night, and noticed that Professor Martin did not appear in the staff seat.However, these two things did not attract much attention. What everyone discussed was more about the rough lake.

At lunch, everyone's conversation began to revolve around Professor Martin.

Discuss how he invaded the Slytherin dungeons and was stopped by Snape and Mesa.

Many students with talent for storytelling vividly described the battle between the two professors.The students were all talking eloquently, while the two professors were so beaten that the world was in darkness and the world was turned upside down.

As for Mesa, the other protagonist, he is ruthlessly marginalized.

Probably no one believed that a first-year student could compete with a professor and survive unharmed in the end.

In many storytelling versions, Mesa plays the role of either a whistleblower or a hostage in the hands of Steele Martin to threaten the school.

Of course not all versions ignore Mesa.

In Hufflepuff's mouth, he suddenly became the protagonist. The heroic Mesa and the evil Professor Martin were evenly matched, and he was only slightly at a disadvantage.

Although this is the version closest to the truth, it is the version with the smallest audience.

It’s just… so unreasonable, Mesa is only eleven years old!

Most people scoffed at this version, questioning its authenticity.Some people even think that Mesa spent money to hire trolls to put money on his face.

Oh my God, where can Mesa have the money to hire navy troops?

He just found little Fatty Hart, and by the way, he also found his good eldest sister Tonks.Mesa needs to turn up the heat on this and keep it going well into the year-end dinner.

With the help of two Hufflepuffs, Tonks and Hart, and some Gryffindors who were not too concerned about the excitement, "Mesa and Martin" overcame other versions of storytelling and gradually occupied Hogg's Watts tops the search list.

Although everyone still didn't believe in Mesa's strength, they knew about the bet between him and Slytherin.

This is why some Gryffindors are willing to help.Seeing the proud Slytherin humbled in front of Muggle-born wizards made me feel comfortable just thinking about it.

The only pity is that this Muggle-born wizard is also named Slytherin.What a shame for the little lions!

Whether it was Steele Martin's conspiracy or the bet with Mesa, the Slytherin students felt extremely depressed.Especially Benson and others who took the lead in blocking the dormitory at that time, they still owe Mesa an apology.

Just as the Slytherin collective network suppressed the clouds and the other three houses were waiting to watch the excitement, the year-end banquet of the 88-89 school year quietly arrived.

That evening, students from the four colleges gathered in the auditorium to celebrate the last day of the academic year.

The Great Hall is decorated with the green and silver colors representing Slytherin, and the Snakes have won the House Cup for several consecutive years.A huge banner with a Slytherin snake hanging on the wall behind the guest of honor seat.

Although Slytherin failed in the Quidditch Cup, they still won this year's House Cup thanks to Professor Snape's extraordinary performance.

They should be celebrating their house's victory, but there was silence around the Slytherin table, which was incompatible with the bustling auditorium.

The Slytherins sitting around the long table were all dejected, as if they had lost the House Cup they had won for many years.

Slytherin's quietness was naturally noticed by other houses.The students from the three colleges all looked over, and some of them even put evil smiles on their faces without covering up at all.

Although they failed to pull Slytherin from the championship, everyone still found it very enjoyable to see their faces, and even healed a little of the pain of losing the Academy Cup.

Mesa didn't jump up and down, but just sat in his seat.He actually didn't have any expectations.

Several days have passed since the Steele Martin incident. Although everyone has denied Mesa's strength, they have not denied his contribution in this incident.But none of the Slytherins who bet with Mesa came to him to apologize.

There was no private apology, and a public apology at the year-end banquet was even more unthinkable.

"Why does a normally beautiful woman look like a donkey today?" Mesa asked softly, turning his head to the side. He didn't quite understand why Lilia looked unhappy.

"Am I the only one who thinks that if you let other people apologize to you, it will make the gap between you and them more serious?" Lilia pouted and said unhappily, "You have completely wiped out their face. ah!"

"Well...it is true that you are the only one who thinks so." Mesa said, "But Lilia, respect and face are earned by yourself, not given by others. They came to me to apologize. Although they lost face, it was only temporary. .”

Lilia nodded and said: "I know, I will keep my word. I'm just worried that they will increase their jealousy towards you and make trouble for you even more when school starts in September."

"Don't worry, even if they don't come to me, I will come to them." Mesa said with a smile, "I have endured it for almost a year, and it's time to get it back with interest."

Lilia looked at Mesa. She didn't know what Mesa was planning, but she always felt that he would offend everyone in the academy and then knock them down one by one.

"It's in vain for me to worry." Lilia said sadly, "If you have any ideas, just do it. I will always support you."

Mesa still had a smile on his face and said: "The old and decadent Slytherin needs a new wind, Lilia. Our existence is to blow this wind."

At this moment, Dumbledore arrived in the auditorium, and the noisy students fell silent.

"Another year has passed!" Dumbledore said happily. "Before you enjoy these delicious dishes, I must trouble you to listen to an old man's cliché. What a wonderful year it has been..."

Dumbledore smiled brightly and said his year-end summary.

But the principal did not make a long speech, and soon announced the House Cup rankings and awarded the championship trophy to Slytherin House.

There were no thunderous cheers or stamping of feet, and the Slytherin table remained quiet.If they could, they wanted to trade the championship trophy to take Mesa out of the Steele Martin affair.

"Well done, Slytherin," said Dumbledore. "Here, I would also like to publicly praise two Slytherins."

In an instant, everyone in the auditorium looked at the Slytherin table, but the Slytherin students felt like they were mourning for their heirs, with all of them crying.

They couldn't escape what was coming, and they didn't really want to accept the honor imposed by Dumbledore.

The more Dumbledore spoke, the more the other three houses started making noises, and the more proud Slytherin felt slapped in the face.A group of pure-blood wizards, but they can't compete with a "mudblood". How shameful!

"First of all, Miss Lilia Shafik." Dumbledore continued, "Her integrity and kindness, her intelligence and acumen, and her composure in the face of crisis are all worthy of praise!"

Mesa looked at the girl next to him with confusion.

Calm down, is Dumbledore sure he is talking about Lilia Shafik?Is this the Lilia Shafiq I knew?

Probably because the gaze was too intense, Lilia's face, which was already blushing from embarrassment, turned even redder and more delicate.Of course, if she hadn't reached out and pinched the inside of Mesa's arm, Mesa would have complimented her.

"Uh, uh," Dumbledore cleared his throat, "and Mr. Mesa Black. He has shown extraordinary courage and courage, and has the ability to match it. He also deserves praise."

After saying that, there was a noise in the auditorium.

It was obviously the Slytherin students who were praised, but the house that shouted loudest was actually Gryffindor.What bad intentions can the little lions have? They just want to see how their mortal enemy will end.

At the Slytherin table, some students also wanted to celebrate, and some students were ready to apologize, but there were still a group of people who neither wanted to celebrate nor apologize.

The bewildered Slytherin table looked very unhappy.

But the awkwardness and embarrassment did not belong to Mesa and Lilia. This time, it was Lilia who looked at Mesa with a suspicious look on her face.

"Extraordinary courage and courage?" Lilia gritted her teeth and said, "Mesa Black, I am more and more sure of one thing now. You are definitely an undercover Gryffindor stationed in Slytherin!"

Ah, this...how can you taint someone's innocence out of thin air?
