A few Gryffindor nodded in agreement at Pavati's words.
"Previously, everyone thought that Allen, who defeated Lord Voldemort, was the savior of the world." Harry adjusted his glasses and looked at the empty chair at the teachers' table with his green eyes. "And now, he's really going to save the world …"
"Are we just going to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor?" Seamus twirled his staff. "I mean, we're definitely no match for the Grim Reaper, but at least we can deal with some skeletons, Dementors, and other undead creatures."
"Idiots will always be idiots. You don't even know the characteristics of the underworld with your walnut-sized brain. You'll die the moment you enter." Draco's sarcastic voice sounded from the long Slytherin table behind him. His platinum hair hung loosely over his forehead, and his gray eyes did not carry a trace of a smile. "Of course, Weasley's death is different. You can blow him up before you enter …"
"Compared to us wanting to help Allen, what are you doing, Malfoy?" Ron sneered with a red face. "You're just worried that if something happens to Allen, it will affect the power of the Malfoy family, right?"
"Hmph! That's ridiculous. If I were you, I wouldn't be able to eat. You haven't found a job yet, and you're a pauper who can only eat after graduation … You want to help Allen in vain? " Pency held Draco's arm worriedly. "You Gryffindor are helping as long as you don't cause trouble. These are not things you should know!"
Pansy knew how worried Draco was when he found out that Alan was planning to go down. He was not just worried like her father-in-law, Lucius. However, it was also because of this that Draco, who had a better understanding of each other's strength than the Gryffindors, knew that he would not be able to help at all. That was why Draco did not have much patience with the Gryffindors.
"At least we're all relying on ourselves to survive." Lavender didn't want to be outdone either. She was actually quite envious of those pure-blooded Adepts who didn't have to work after graduation.
However, just as the argument escalated, the noise in the hall gradually quieted down. Noticing that something was wrong with the surrounding noise, the arguing little wizards looked around and immediately sat back down.
Allen had already appeared at the principal's seat. He was wearing a crown inlaid with seven Ioun Stones designed by Helena and made by Luna. The Ioun Stones emitted a soft glow which made Allen's pale face look a little mysterious.
He wasn't wearing the usual evil-looking robe. Today, he was wearing an exquisite and complicated robe with many layers of ribbons and symmetrical raven patterns. (Author's Note: By the way, Lao Fu isn't wearing a black robe, but a robe with seven types of green.) The velvet and silk robe looked heavy and delicate, and the texture was gorgeous and natural. There were delicate patterns of the Omniscient Eye and maps of the four magic schools, as well as the three countries, England, Germany, and America, which he wanted to master.
"Another year has passed. Time doesn't lie. In this year, I've witnessed your growth … I'm very happy to see that you've obtained excellent results in all kinds of exams. From the data given to me by the Ministry of Magic, the overall results of our wizards have improved by a level. I'm proud of you … First, let's confirm the school scores …" Allen's voice rang clearly in every student's ears. He took the lead in applauding. "Fourth place, Gryffindor, 553 points. I have to say, the number of items you've destroyed in the duel between classes this year is enough to rebuild a Gryffindor common room … If you use less black magic, you wouldn't have lost so many points because they couldn't be repaired … Third place, Hufflepuff, 673 points. Personally, I think your school is too generous. Some situations that should have been given extra points may not have been noticed by the school, but I promise to improve it next semester … Slytherin, 703 points. You've won the Quidditch Cup for two years in a row, and you're only one step away this year … Ravenclaw, 713 points. I have to remind you that now, relying on your intelligence and wisdom to deal with difficult subjects can no longer guarantee your advantages. Remember to try to help others to earn points next semester … But I still have to congratulate you. Congratulations to Ravenclaw Academy for winning this year's School Cup for seven years in a row …"
The applause from the Eagle Dean's table swept through the auditorium like a wave. The Lion Dean and Badger Dean did not care, but the Snake Dean students showed a regretful expression because of the similar result.
Alan pressed both of his hands down and said after the auditorium regained its silence, "For the grade-7 wizards who are about to graduate, today is a beginning as well as an end. It's also a time to look forward to the future with hope, happiness, and perhaps nostalgia … For all of us, this is a complicated emotion …"
The wizards listened to the speech of the principal to the graduates. They saw that the principal did not talk about the Grim Reaper at all. They could not help but feel emotional. The wizards who were full of emotions whispered to each other.
"Alan is still worried about our future at this time... Won't he be afraid?"
"Principal Harris wants to keep his identity as a principal in our eyes, not some mage-emperor …"
"We can see the underworld below from the edge of the city … Looking at those monsters, I can't imagine how difficult it is for Principal Harris to defeat them."
…
"Principal Harris, thank you so much!" Gryffindor's Parvati Patil stood up with tears in her eyes. "Thank you for everything you've done for us … Whether it was as a classmate, as a professor, or as a principal … and now as an emperor …" She said gratefully in a loud voice, "If it weren't for you, our grades wouldn't have improved so quickly. Our whole family moved to the floating city. Because of this, we all wanted to get rid of the threat of death … You didn't have to take the risk, but you still fought against the Grim Reaper for the world … Everyone in the world owes you a life … If it weren't for you, I really don't know what would have happened."
The grateful voice of the Indian girl echoed in the auditorium. Everyone else seemed to be stunned by Parvati for a moment. Then, as if the play button had been pressed, a torrent of applause sounded in the auditorium. More people began to praise and thank him for his achievements.
"If it weren't for Principal Harris, I don't know how long I would have lived." On the Slytherin's long table, Astoria Gringlass tied her blonde curly hair behind her head and also stood up to thank him.
Very quickly, the Slytherin witch's body suddenly leaned back. Her arms, which were tightly hugging Yue Xiong's front, suddenly turned into the body of a python and coiled around her upper body. As she rolled, her body bent down strangely and softly, and her whole body turned into a huge sedge viper. Its whole body was emerald green, with black stripes along the middle of its back and head. The snake's head suddenly stretched out from the coiled body, making a whistling sound as its body kept expanding and shrinking.
Some of the junior students who didn't know what was going on exclaimed when they saw this scene. They were used to seeing other students' Animagus and found that the snake that the witch had turned into was different from other Slytherin.
Then, the snake's head nodded at Allen as a gesture. When its body stretched out and jumped forward, its body quickly changed. The Slytherin Animagus form that the Hogwarts Wizards were familiar with had replaced the sedge viper. It twisted its body and spat out its tongue. Its cold snake eyes fixed on Allen for a while before it finally changed back to its human form.
