Chapter 4104 4106 [End of Semester]

Potions class is about preparing healing potions.

Xiang Nan has prepared this kind of potion countless times. Not only was he the first to make the potion, but he also creatively added a drop of leech juice to it.

This will promote the rapid healing of wounds and slightly improve the efficacy of the healing potion.

His improvement of the healing potion also surprised and pleased Professor Slughorn.

He was surprised that he could improve potions at such a young age. He was happy that he had a keen eye for talent and pulled him into the Slug Club early.

The Herbology class is about picking ten thorns of thorn grass. The shorter the time and the less injury, the higher the score. On the contrary, the lower the score.

Xiang Nan was naturally the first to complete the task, taking less than two minutes, and even Professor Sprout was impressed. Because she was not as strong as Xiang Nan, she had to use force to pull out each thorn.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts class is about students releasing repelling spells to repel wooden signs with resurrected corpses painted on them.

In the first-year Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Xiang Nan and others learned two spells.

One is the Repulsion Spell, which can repel dark magic creatures with entities, such as zombies, vampires, and revenants. The other is the Monster Spell, which is used to scare people, and will make people haunted by illusions and frightened.

However, the invigilator was not Austin Amelio, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, because he went to the French seaside for vacation during the Easter holiday and was stung by a blood-poison jellyfish.

Although he was lucky enough to save his life, he had to rest at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magic for at least half a year. So the invigilator was Professor Flitwick.

The Repulsion Spell released by Xiang Nan broke the wooden sign of the revenant in one go, which was much better than the Repulsion Spell. Professor Flitwick was surprised.

…

The exam ended in mid-June.

The students still had a week to wait for the teacher to mark the papers.

During this week, without various courses and the pressure of exams, the students were almost crazy.

In the corridor, by the Black Lake, in the lounge... everyone was playing and planning where to go during the summer vacation.

Xiang Nan, however, still stayed in the Room of Requirement to brew potions and read books.

During his one year at Hogwarts, he read nearly a thousand books in the library, which was not a high proportion of the total collection, probably less than one percent.

However, in the Hogwarts library, there are many books such as "The Origin of Quidditch", "Hippogriff Psychology Handbook", "Life and Social Habits of British Muggle Families" and "Types of Dragons in Great Britain and Ireland".

These books are either entertaining, or related to magical animals, or related to Muggle studies... None of them are the types that Xiang Nan needs.

He mainly read books related to spells, potions, herbology, transfiguration, ancient magic runes, defense against the dark arts, etc., and they are relatively difficult and obscure professional books.

Not introductory books like "How to Cast Spells Quickly", "Easy Introduction to Potions", "How to Identify Dark Magic Creatures", etc.

There are relatively few professional books of this kind in Hogwarts, with no more than four or five thousand at most, and most of them are kept in the banned books area.

Therefore, Xiang Nan has read half of the "effective" collection of books in Hogwarts in one year. When the new semester arrives, he will be able to finish the other half. At that time, he can challenge higher difficulty and read those banned books.

...

A week later, in late June, the school officially announced the results.

Xiang Nan was not surprised to get the first place in the grade, which was a whole lot higher than the second place. All the professors were very satisfied with him.

Lily's grades were also very good, and she got the third place in the grade, second only to Remus Lupin in the same college.

Remus Lupin knew that he was a werewolf and it was not easy to be admitted to Hogwarts to study, so he studied very hard, so he achieved such good results.

As for Lily, she learned spells, transfiguration, defense against the dark arts, etc. from Xiang Nan before the start of the school year, and later followed him to make medicine in the Room of Requirement, accumulating a lot of practical experience, so she achieved very good results in these courses.

James Potter and Sirius Black, although they were usually lazy and played around, actually had very good grades. It can be seen that they are both geniuses.

Joey Farrell, Benjamin Winslet and Gregory Foley also had decent grades. Therefore, everyone was very happy after the results were announced.

…

That night, the school held a grand end-of-term dinner.

The hall was decorated with blue and bronze representing Ravenclaw, and a huge banner with a Ravenclaw eagle was hung on the wall behind the guest of honor.

It turned out that this year, although Slytherin won the Quidditch Cup and added 150 points to the College Cup,

However, because Lucius Malfoy, Thorfinn Rowle, Rabastan Lestrange and others bullied their classmates, they were deducted a lot of points. As a result, the Quidditch Cup earned 150 points, but they lost them all.

In comparison, Xiang Nan earned nearly 200 points for Ravenclaw because of his excellent performance in class. Coupled with the efforts of other students, Ravenclaw finally won the college cup of this year with an excellent score of 420 points.

"Another year has passed!" Dumbledore said happily, "Before enjoying these delicious dishes, I must trouble everyone to listen to the clichés of an old man. What a wonderful year it has been!

Your little brains must have been richer than before... You have a whole summer vacation waiting for you, so you can digest those things before the next semester starts, and make room for your brain...

"Now, as far as I know, we must first hold the award ceremony for the college cup. The specific scores of each college are as follows: fourth place, Gryffindor, 310 points; third place, Slytherin, 350 points; second place Hufflepuff, 380 points, first place Ravenclaw, 420 points."

When he read out the scores, the Ravenclaw students cheered.

The Hufflepuff and Gryffindor students applauded them, only the Slytherin students all looked gloomy.

"Severus, thanks to you~" Derek Ludwig, the prefect, gave Xiang Nan a thumbs up.

Almost half of Ravenclaw's points were earned by Xiang Nan, which is quite amazing.

Xiang Nan waved his hand modestly.

"You did a great job. I hope you can keep up the good work next semester." Dumbledore said with a smile.

Xiang Nan keenly noticed that he seemed to nod at him.

Xiang Nan also nodded to him with a smile.

"Okay, let's start the dinner." Dumbledore said with a smile, and then all kinds of delicious food filled the table, making the students cheer happily.
