Nothing is more gratifying than watching one's rival suffer.
During the leisurely days leading up to the summer holidays, the students of Gryffindor were in high spirits, as they were finally about to claim the long-coveted House Cup. Naturally, they never missed an opportunity to mock their neighbors, taking pleasure in the frustrated, gloomy expressions of the Slytherin students. Naturally, this only intensified the friction between the two sides.
Having lost all hope of winning the House Cup, a small group of Slytherin students began to vent their malice, deliberately making trouble for Gryffindors. Within a single day, three Gryffindor students were sent to the Hospital Wing due to hexes. This forced everyone to move in groups to avoid being targeted. Because of the provocations from Slytherin, fighting between the houses became increasingly frequent, causing Gryffindor’s points to dwindle. They suddenly realized that if they weren't careful, they might just let Ravenclaw snatch the victory.
