The Great Hall buzzed with excitement as students gathered for breakfast, still thrilled from receiving their exam results. The atmosphere was lively—full of chatter, clinking plates, and occasional bursts of laughter.
Suddenly, the hall quieted when Roy stood up from the Head Table, his presence immediately drawing all eyes.
Valvas Scholarships Announcement
Roy's voice rang clear, calm, and commanding.
"Students of Hogwarts, I am proud to announce that the top three students of every year will be receiving the Valvas Scholarship, awarded for exceptional performance and dedication."
A wave of excitement rippled through the hall.
Roy began calling the names year by year.
First Years: cheers erupted as three shy students walked up, wide-eyed and trembling in excitement.
Second Years: applause thundered as Roy handed the scholarship parchments.
Third Years: proud, confident smiles—especially from Ravenclaw.
Fourth Years: the hall boomed as more names were called.
Fifth Years: Hermione, Cassandra, and Daphne received loud cheers from their houses.
Sixth Years: applause rolled steadily.
Seventh Years: Cedric, along with two other Hufflepuffs, walked up proudly.
Each student received a gold-trimmed parchment, a magical quill, and a badge enchanted with Roy's sigil, marking them as Valvas Scholars.
The entire hall applauded continuously—never before had Hogwarts had such a system, and everyone felt proud and motivated.
House Cup Announcement
When the last parchment was handed, Roy lifted his hand again for silence.
"It is now time," he said, smiling, "to announce the House Cup results."
A drumroll of murmurs swept across the hall.
Roy raised his hand and the banners glowed as he spoke:
4th Place — Gryffindor: 350 points!The Gryffindors groaned but clapped proudly.
3rd Place — Ravenclaw: 400 points!The Eagles applauded politely, though some looked disappointed.
2nd Place — Slytherin: 450 points!The Slytherin table sighed—so close.
1st Place — Hufflepuff: 480 points!The Great Hall exploded.
Every Hufflepuff jumped to their feet, screaming, cheering, and hugging each other. Yellow and black sparks burst above their heads, magically conjured by Roy.
Cedric pumped his fist triumphantly; other houses laughed and cheered, genuinely proud.
Professor Sprout was wiping tears from her eyes, Snape looked mildly impressed, McGonagall nodded approvingly, and Flitwick clapped vigorously.
The Concert Announcement
Just as the cheers began to die down, a random student stood up and shouted:
"HEADMASTER ROY! WHEN IS THE CONCERT?!"
The entire hall immediately echoed the question.
"When is the concert?!"
"When will you sing?!"
"Yaksha Music Club wants an answer!"
Hermione, Cassandra, Daphne, Astoria, Cho, Luna, and Ginny all glared at the girls who were screaming too loudly—their jealous instincts activated.
Roy smiled mischievously.
"After lunch," he announced."Come to the Great Hall. I will hold the concert then."
The hall erupted again—this time louder than anything before.
"YESSSSSS!"
"FINALLY!"
"We're getting a Roy Valvas live concert!"
"Yaksha Idol is back!"
Roy chuckled softly as the students practically floated out of the hall in excitement, buzzing like a festival was coming.
Hermione grabbed Roy's arm before leaving and whispered, half-pouting:
"Do you know how long everyone has been begging you for a concert?"
Cassandra smirked, "You better give us a private one later."
Daphne tugged his sleeve, cheeks pink."Make sure you sing our favorite song too."
Astoria, Cho, Luna, and Ginny all nodded firmly.
Roy only smiled, making them blush even more.
