Chapter 131 Principal Scholarship Quota Announced
Chapter 131 Principal Scholarship Quota Announced
With the decoration of the entire auditorium, all the students of the three houses of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw stood up and gave a standing ovation to Slytherin House.
This warm scene made all the professors sitting in the professor's chair sigh.
"Hogwarts is really starting to come together."
After all, just a year ago, the reputation of Slytherin College was still at the bottom, not to mention Gryffindor College, which has been competing with it for many years.
Even the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw houses are only for the Slytherin house, and have not directly shown an attitude of disgust.
But the deep-rooted prejudice still exists in the hearts of the colleges.
After all, in just 12 years ago, Voldemort led the entire Slytherin House and almost hurt an entire generation of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students.
This kind of harm has caused countless parents to invisibly bring their own prejudices when educating their children.
This prejudice further led to the isolation of Slytherin House, thus brewing a new round of crisis invisibly.
But the emergence of Augustus, as well as the organization he created, built a platform for the exchanges of the four colleges.
After full communication, students from other colleges will find that Slytherin House is not as bad as imagined.
Although most of them are cold-tempered and indifferent to other people's affairs, they still value friendship very much.
Once he recognizes you as his friend, he will do everything he can to help you.
Although this kind of contradictory character is not very flattering, it will definitely not make everyone hate it.
Standing on the podium, Dumbledore felt tears welling up in his eyes, after all, in his long life.
The only thing that made him feel regretful were the three men, one was his younger brother and the other was his student.
The other is a certain professor who is still sitting on the professor's chair with a hippie smile.
These three people respectively represent their own failures in three aspects. They have lost their family affection, their teacher-student relationship, and what is even more tragic is their loss of love.
The past years were so painful, looking back now, Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"I didn't expect that I would survive it, and what makes me even more unimaginable is that I would choose that way at that time."
After receiving applause from the other houses, Augustus led the entire Slytherin house, each with a drink in hand.
Then he got up and stood up, toasted to the professor's seat neatly, and then shouted loudly.
"May the glory of Slytherin live forever in Hogwarts."
After finishing speaking, everyone drank the drinks in their hands one after another, and then shook hands with each other nearby to express their congratulations.
Seeing the actions of the Slytherin students, the professors also seemed very happy, for Dumbledore on the podium.
He also picked up a glass of Grindelwald honey beer and raised his glass in return.
"Today's glory goes to Slytherin."
After finishing speaking, he drank all the slightly viscous liquid in the large glass.
After tasting his exclusive drink, Dumbledore waved for everyone to be quiet, and then continued.
"Okay, after this exciting moment is over, we have to move on to the next stage."
"But before the semester started this year, two organizations were set up in our school and sponsored by a professor who didn't want to be named."
"We have established two sets of scholarships, one is within the student organization, and this award is announced within the organization by Mr. Augustus Dumbledore."
"The other set is the principal's special scholarship, which is used to reward students with outstanding performance in the learning process."
"The amount of the first batch of scholarships is one thousand galleons, and comes with a set of 60-day holiday trips to American beaches."
As soon as this remark came out, the whole audience fell into extreme silence. After all, in the past year, except for a few students.
Almost all the students in Hogwarts have experienced the decrease of their parents' salary, and the sharp reduction or even cancellation of their pocket money.
Although there are study subsidies from the Saints Association and the Study Association, due to the sharp rise in the overall price of the British wizarding world.
These subsidies are just to restore one's previous standard of living a little bit, and to truly achieve financial freedom, these two sets of scholarships are essential.
Among them, the president's bonus of the Saints' Association is only awarded to the official members of the Saints' Association, so it is basically out of reach for most students.
And the number of places is very rare, only awarded to two people a year, but the principal's scholarship is completely different.
Not only all students have the opportunity to get it, but there are a total of seven places.
Looking at the students in the audience, Dumbledore, who was standing on the podium, continued.
"The criteria for this selection are the votes from the professors of the various colleges, plus the comprehensive consideration of the degree of study effort and academic performance."
"Of course, in order to avoid some embarrassing situations, the student's popularity among classmates will also be taken into consideration."
Speaking, Dumbledore also winked at the Gryffindor students who were still downcast just now, as if hinting at something.
The Weasley twins, who had been hinted by the headmaster, immediately reacted and asked loudly.
"Dear Mr. Principal, poorly we only have 5 days of vacation. What you just said is a vacation trip for the whole summer vacation."
"If we're lucky, if someone from our humble academy is selected, won't it conflict with the make-up classes we want to carry out?"
Hearing this, Dumbledore, the chicken thief, deliberately put on a look of embarrassment, looked back at Professor McGonagall and said in embarrassment.
"Minerva, this is indeed an embarrassing question. How to deal with this contradiction?"
"I think you, who are full of wisdom and charm, must be able to think of a way to get the best of both worlds."
Looking at Dumbledore with a face of chicken thief, upon hearing this, Professor McGonagall knew what the other party was thinking, and said after a little thought.
"After all, this is a reward from the school. Of course, the reward from the school cannot conflict with learning."
"Individuals who have received awards can enjoy their own achievements, but other people do not have this right, and they still need to make up lessons during this holiday."
Hearing this, the eyes of the students of Gryffindor College were filled with disappointment after being excited at the beginning.
But Dumbledore, who is the bear king, continued to ask.
"Then what about the five-day vacation? If possible, I think this tour can be used as a group activity for us at Hogwarts."
"Winners can invite students from a grade to go on vacation together. Of course, the time cannot be the entire summer vacation, but we think five days is still acceptable."
"What do you say?"
