The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Hermione waited patiently for the little boy to clean up the surrounding area before pulling the little boy over and wiping his sweat with a handkerchief.

It wasn't until the little boy's sloppy face was cleaned up that he smiled and said:

"You did a great job, five points for Hufflepuff!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a clear sound of jewel collisions in the jewel hourglass in the foyer in the distance.

The little boy left happily.

But Ron couldn't hold back anymore, and said to Hermione angrily:

"Crazy! I think you're crazy! You're giving that Hufflepuff kid extra points! Don't you know he's getting points and getting paid for doing the job?"

Harry also looked at Hermione quietly.

He knew that what Ron said was right.

In exchange for letting the junior students share some of the labor at Hogwarts, Link gave these positions some points and monetary subsidies.

Although this subsidy is not high, it can barely be regarded as a tasteless one if it is exhausted.

But it is also like this, which prevents the senior students from participating in the competition in this industry, and effectively allows this subsidy to reach the pockets of the lower grade students, so that they can also earn some college points and earn some money. Money to buy snacks or something.

So in principle, Hermione's approach is simply irrational.

It's a pity that Hermione just nodded nonchalantly when she heard the words:

"Yeah, of course I know, but I just like to help those who contribute to Hogwarts. If you also help sweep the floor and clean up, I can also give you extra points. Although I give extra points to my own college It's a bit disgraceful, but I assure you, no one can say anything wrong about this kind of thing."

Ron was about to laugh out of anger.

Of course, it is impossible for him to compete with those junior students in those semi-volunteer jobs that don't have much profit. He still has no time to go to class every day.

So he simply pulled Hermione to the bottom of the jeweled hourglass in the foyer, pointed to the hourglass above and said:

"Look, we are almost overtaken by Ravenclaw and Slytherin! It's fine with these two, but the problem is that even Hufflepuff and Hufflepuff are almost catching up to us now! And what caused this The culprit of everything is that there are too many 'kind' people like you!"

As soon as this remark was made, both Harry and Hermione instinctively looked in the direction of the jeweled hourglass.

That represents the four gems in the hourglass of the four colleges, and there are actually not many gems in the hourglass.

This is entirely because the college points were used arbitrarily by the Umbridge inspectors because of the power of rewards and punishments, which made the college points lose their meaning. Therefore, after Link's committee came to power, they simply reset the results again.

In this regard, Harry is actually quite grateful to Link.

Because he once again made the Academy Cup system meaningful.

What's more, because of George and Fred's outrageously wonderful fireworks display that won the talent competition that day, Gryffindor also scored an extra 50 points, which is equivalent to temporarily leading all the houses by a large margin .

It's a pity that now this advantage has been drawn closer and closer as Ron said.

Unlike Harry's mentality of feeling very sorry, Hermione didn't care about Ron's accusations, and still repeated what she said before.

Ron took a deep breath, then changed his tone and said:

"Since this is the case, then you should work harder and go to class to help earn those five points back! Anyway, you gave these five points, so it is reasonable to earn them back?"

"I'll earn it back? Are you going to calculate the score with me now? Then I will calculate it with you!" Hermione said viciously, "I have been in every class for so many years, and I have spoken actively. The average I can earn back nearly 20 cents every day!

And what about you?

Instead of earning college points, you and Harry are getting into trouble every day!

The house points that Gryffindor House has deducted because of you all these years have almost exceeded four figures!

You still have the face to talk about me now? "

As soon as this remark came out,

Ron was completely speechless.

Watching a pale face turn red quickly, Harry sighed.

He understands that the time has come for him to appear on the stage to make a mess.

Every time these two quarreled, this was the process, and he was getting tired of it.

However, he had conceived the language just now, and when he was about to make a move, he saw that Ron and Hermione stopped talking and looked quietly towards the direction of the stairs.

The faces of the two of them who had turned red because of the quarrel instantly cooled down, and there was a strong disdain and hatred in their eyes.

Harry followed their gazes a little puzzled.

But the next moment, his expression and eyes became the same as Ron Hermione.

It wasn't just them, the students in the auditorium who had been jubilant were also silent at this moment.

Everyone stared fiercely at the figures who were slowly walking from the foyer into the auditorium.

Because, these people wearing heavy winter school robes and black cloth covering their faces are the ones who leaked information about the D.A. Army to Umbridge before, which led to the betrayal of Dumbledore By.

Their faces have actually improved somewhat under Link's reluctant treatment, and it is estimated that they will be able to recover in the end.

But although the wounds on their faces can be healed, the wounds on their hearts are not so easy to heal.

What they did made them the object of despise by the whole school after Umbridge was driven out.

Similar to their situation are those inspectors who once defected to Umbridge.

But the actual treatment of the two is vastly different.

Although the former inspectors also did wrong things.

But after all, they are only acting out of interests, and what they do is not too serious against morality, and it is within the range that everyone can understand.

So when you meet them every day, you can only mock them and say a few sarcastic remarks.

Even if they are willing to work hard to reform, start a new life, and sign a special contract to join the D.A. Army, everyone is willing to accept them again.

Those traitors were different.

Either way, betrayal is the most intolerable crime in human history.

This is the same in Hogwarts now.

Wherever they go, these traitors are like street rats who are mercilessly scorned and spurned by those around them.

Ever since, the family still had a little bit of money, or all the well-connected students all transferred to another school and left Hogwarts.

And the rest of the betrayers who had nowhere to go could only cover their faces and completely lived themselves as ghost-like existences—every day except eating, sleeping and going to class, they basically hid in a certain place. Weeping faintly like a wraith in a small dark corner.

It was not until these people finished their breakfast and fled away that the entire auditorium resumed its previous bustle. Valley

While talking about the previous topic, everyone directed a few junior students to clean all the places that had just been touched by the betrayers, so as not to be polluted by the stench of the betrayers.

Of course, this instigation does not come for free.

Often after the lower-grade students complete their tasks, the higher-grade students who gave the instructions will ask their prefects to add some points to the lower-grade students.

This is largely how Hufflepuff scores are earned.

Their students are very hardworking and hardworking, and anyone who sees them will give them a few points like Hermione.

After such accumulation, the scores of Hufflepuff College can finally be on par with the other three major colleges.

Looking at the lively auditorium one last time, Hermione turned her head and said:

"It's almost time, let's go to the morning class of the D.A. Army."

Ron was obviously still a little angry with Hermione. Hearing this, he muttered softly, then turned his head to look at Harry and said:

"Harry, do you still want to go to the Response Room this time and ask Link to give you some advice?"

"What do you mean by opening the door, what you said is too harsh!" Hermione retorted, "Link is willing to teach Harry Occlumency to treat Harry's headaches, and he doesn't mean to favor Harry!"

Hearing this, Ron hurriedly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and said:

"Calm down, Hermione, I don't mean to speak ill of Link. I'm just... just a little upset that Harry has to go to class alone! I'm sure Harry feels the same way. Right?"

Harry nodded desolately.

He really wanted to go to D.A. Army morning reading with Ron and Hermione if he could.

This is not just a friendship between friends, but also because with the D.A. Army's morning reading, Ron and Hermione's grades have become higher and higher than his, which makes him feel uneasy.

Unfortunately, Occlumency was a threshold he could never cross.

Even Dumbledore told him to learn Occlumency as soon as possible before leaving, how could he give up?

And since Umbridge was kicked out, he felt that his Occlumency level was improving rapidly.

It is an obvious sign that I have not had any headaches or nightmares for so many days.

Harry thought it might not be long before he could master Occlumency enough to return to normal student life.

Thinking of this, Harry's heart was filled with strength again.

He said goodbye to Hermione Ron with a smile, and walked up the stairs to the Room of Requirement alone.

However, just a few steps after he walked out, a sharp pain like a needle prick came out of his mind again.

Harry's eyes went dark, and he fell down the stairs.

In a state of confusion, he could feel a gentle liquid flowing from his nose, spreading everywhere.

The exclamations of Hermione and Ron also sounded at the right time, but the voices were getting farther and farther away from him.

Finally, as a series of dark and cold images began to flash for no reason, Harry finally passed out.

...

12 Grimmauld Place, the stronghold of the Order of the Phoenix.

Dumbledore was leaning on the kitchen table, reading with interest a letter with the Hogwarts H badge.

This letter is from Professor McGonagall.

Since he left Hogwarts, McGonagall has written him a letter every half a day on average.

This frequency is actually problematic.

Because they originally agreed that one letter a week would be enough.

It was only during the few days when Link overthrew Umbridge that Professor McGonagall wrote a lot of letters to him hysterically, which raised the frequency to such a terrifying height.

However, with the help of these letters, Dumbledore learned in detail the entire process of Link's harvesting of Umbridge, as well as the current changes in Hogwarts.

The only problem is that Professor McGonagall still hasn't received professional training from the Auror department, so he can't report the situation from an objective perspective.

In her letters, some subjective private goods are often included.

Sometimes the entire letter or even more than half of the letter is her personal complaints and grievances.

It was written just like a young couple in love.

For example, in the letter that Dumbledore is reading right now, Professor McGonagall, in addition to reporting on the amazing results the D.A. expressed their dissatisfaction and concern.

Fortunately, Dumbledore had seen too many reports of this type.

This developed his reading ability and gave him the ability to discriminate information.

It is precisely because of this that even though the concentration of negative energy in Professor McGonagall's letters is relatively high, he can still read it happily.

"It looks like you're in a good mood." Moody limped into the kitchen, picked up a piece of poached egg from the plate in front of Dumbledore and stuffed it into his mouth, "After all, some people were kicked out Out of Hogwarts, even the post of headmaster was taken away."

In the face of Moody's somewhat malicious ridicule, Dumbledore's happy mood was not affected.

He cheerfully put down the letter, carefully put it back in the envelope, and then smiled and said:

"I wasn't kicked out of Hogwarts, and Link didn't snatch the headmaster's position from me. In fact, Hogwarts now implements a three-way committee system."

"What's the difference?" Moody said disdainfully, "From the information we have now, that guy named Percy is Link's henchman in the Ministry of Magic, and Cedric, the student union president Not to mention. Link is now the actual controller of Hogwarts!"

Dumbledore shook his head, continued to smile and said:

"But he did really well, didn't he?

Especially the part Link said to everyone on the day Umbridge was kicked out, it was really great!

The Hogwarts system is indeed a bit too outdated, and it is time for some changes.

Although the consequences of this change are completely unknown, and may even be negative.

But that's better than doing nothing and waiting for the whole system to rot. "

Moody heard the words and did not continue to say anything, but quietly looked at Dumbledore.

He knew very well that Dumbledore had already made a conclusion and decision about Hogwarts, and no matter what he said, Dumbledore would not change his mind.

He pouted his mouth and said helplessly:

"Well, let's change the subject and talk about the Department of Mysteries. What do you think?"
