The hall erupted in a wave of enthusiastic cheers, led by the Weasley Twins—the two of them had set off Feiliba Fireworks, making the hall a scene of joyful chaos.
"We are the champions!" The twins shouted loudly, throwing their arms around Percy's shoulders and jumping up and down as if Gryffindor's points were all thanks to them.
"Those two have already forgotten they were the ones holding us back," Ginny said, shaking her head helplessly from the side.
"I bet if they stayed out of trouble, Gryffindor could have broken seven hundred points," commented Angelina Johnson.
"So can we skip Quidditch practice today?" Alicia Spinnet cautiously asked.
Wood glanced at the timid Alicia Spinnet, and with a smile, he said, "It's already the holidays, why would I make you all train for Quidditch? Of course—just don't forget to practice when you're back home, okay?"
"Okay, Captain—" replied the members of the Gryffindor Quidditch Team in drawn-out voices.
After the students finished celebrating, Dumbledore announced the formal start of the feast.
"Oh my, Harry," Ron said from the side, "I really want to get the Special Contribution to the School Award too—then Mom would reward me with a drumstick."
"Why don't you just reward yourself?" Hermione said with a hint of disdain.
Ron folded his arms with a huff, "How is that a reward? You wouldn't understand."
"Okay, then I'll reward you." Hermione picked up a drumstick from the table: "Ronald Weasley, I, Hermione Jane Granger, reward you with a big drumstick."
Vivi watched the two children from the side with an amused auntie-like smile.
"What if you win the award next year?" Harry chuckled, "Don't worry, you've got five more years, plenty of chances, Ron."
"I think so too," Ron said with a grin, happily gnawing on the drumstick Hermione handed him.
"What plans do you have for the holidays?" Hermione asked Harry, then looked at Vivi, "I thought maybe you'd go traveling?"
"No, I still have to finish my studies at the Muggle school, Hermione," Vivi said with a cheerful smile, "Don't forget, there's still the summer term..."
"And what about you, Harry?" Ron said, feeding Banban with one hand, "Any plans for the holidays, or are you stuck with the Dursleys?"
"I guess so, but I might also take some strolls," Harry replied.
"Maybe you could come to the Weasley family with us," Hermione suggested with a smile, "My dad is really interested in Mr. Weasley's flying car. I think they'd get along well. He even asked me to ask you about it in his last letter, Ron."
"Oh, that's not possible," Ron said with some regret, shrugging his shoulders, "Dad won a big prize—it's the 'Prophet Daily' annual award, the prize is seven hundred Galleons! After discussing with Mom, they decided to take the whole family to Egypt to visit my brother Bill—you know, he's a Curse Breaker at Gringotts in Egypt. We'll also be traveling around and enjoying a vacation there."
"I see," said Hermione, nodding, "Then I guess we'll have to wait until you get back from Egypt to see you again."
"Goodbye, goodbye," Jack called out from the side.
By now, Vivi finally realized it was the Sunflower Parrot, not the Sunflower Parrot, that had torn up Harry's notebook.
But she couldn't do much to the Sunflower Parrot, after all, the parrot was her brother, and Jack was not.
"I'd love to visit Egypt," Seamus said from the side, "I want to see the pyramids, to see if there really are mummies—those things wrapped in bandages, they look really scary, don't they?"
"Mummies aren't scary, Seamus," Hermione said, "They're just Egyptian dried corpses, basically like Yin Corpses, and they'd vanish with just a Flame Spell..."
"To be honest, Seamus," Neville timidly said, "I think to a mummy, you'd be scarier than anything else."
Upon hearing this, Seamus wasn't angry but proudly puffed out his chest instead.
"Haha, I think so too," he said, "It's just a mummy, I doubt any mummy could survive my Explosive Curse..."
After the feast ended in the hall, the time for the holiday arrived.
Technically, they could leave the school today, but since the train usually departs in the morning, most students decided to stay an extra day at school and leave on the train the next day.
A few students with cars at home, like Pansy Parkinson, left early by taking their family's carriage home.
That afternoon, Sebastian also woke up from Petrification.
Harry specifically called Vivi to the school hospital.
"Hey, Seber," Harry called Sebastian by his nickname, "I'm really glad to see you well again."
"I'm glad too," Sebastian replied in a sarcastically cheerful tone, "Especially after you shoved me into a wallet and your Snake Monster glared at me, it made an old friend feel truly delighted."
Vivi turned her head away, pretending to find interest in the white bed sheets nearby, suppressing her laughter.
Harry tried to explain, "That's your mistake—the Snake Monster isn't mine. It's reared by Slytherin, only obeys the heir of Slytherin... and Omnius is the heir of Slytherin, so technically, he is the Snake Monster's master. If you're looking to settle scores, you should go to him."
