The Rise of the Muggles at Hogwarts

Why Gemma Farley's parents value a student position at school so highly.

After thinking briefly, Anthony figured out the cause and effect.

This is not a Muggle world.

London is a super city with 500 million people.

In the magical world, the total number of wizards in England is probably only a few thousand.

As the only British magic school, Hogwarts's school performance will directly affect one's career.

For example, the Quidditch team.

Welsh Caerphilly Crossbow Troops.

Northern Ireland's Balicas Bats.

North England's Appleby Flying Crossbows.

If you want to join these professional teams, in addition to becoming a member of their youth training, the only way left is to perform well on the Hogwarts school team. This is why Wood is obsessed with winning Quidditch. Odd champion.

Because only by winning this championship can he be eligible to join a professional team.

The same goes for other positions at Hogwarts. Like Percy, he graduated as President of the Student Union and climbed to the position of Assistant Minister in just two years.

Of course, this was related to the fact that the Ministry of Magic at that time wanted him to spy on his family.

But it is undeniable that the start brought by this kind of position is far beyond what ordinary unknown wizards can match.

After thinking of this, Anthony burst out laughing, the magical world is really small!

However, this incident also reminded him.

That is, except for some prodigal pure-blood wizards, the rest are really rich!

If you try to find a way to make a splash, the tuition fees during your student days will probably be enough.

And just when Anthony was thinking about how to deal with the situation reasonably.

Dumbledore also began to take the next step.

From Anthony's 'prophecy', he had learned that Voldemort was attached to the back of Quirrell's head at this time.

But this is just a 'prophetic' picture, not a fact.

The first thing he had to do was to confirm whether Quirrell was really controlled by Voldemort.

Ah!

The magic stone is a good bait.

Slowly, thoughts began to form in Dumbledore's mind.

Back to Anthony, after the first-year wizards finished their herbalism course.

On their way back to Gryffindor Tower, they witnessed a spectacle.

The entire fourth floor was filled with Gryffindors and Slytherins.

They each held something like a broom and bucket in their hands.Cleaning the hallways and aisles.

The prize gallery on the fourth floor was also crowded with little wizards.

Ron was very sharp and saw that George and Fred were squatting on the ground with their buttocks sticking out, struggling to dig out the fallen medals from the cracks.

"Why don't they use magic?" Harry looked at the seniors who were cleaning the house curiously, feeling puzzled.

Regarding the punishments of many 'seniors', they were announced as early as last night, so he knew about it.

"I'm afraid it's not allowed!" Anthony said, pointing to Filch, who was sitting at the end of the corridor.

This guy is sitting on a chair, holding his cat, Mrs. Norris.

There was also a stack of dried fish placed at his feet, presumably food for the cat.

Filch, who had eyes like lightbulbs like his cat, was looking at the group of little wizards who were immersed in their work with a malicious expression.

From time to time, he would also let out a weird laugh.

...

Anthony shook his head, no wonder the students didn't like Filch.

His appearance is too hateful!

"It's not clean there. I'm watching you. Don't think about being lazy, you lazy bugs!"

Suddenly he pointed at a Gryffindor and roared.

"I know, didn't you see that I was scrubbing it?" The little wizard was very unhappy when he was pointed out. He threw the brush into the wooden bucket at his feet. After rinsing it, he pressed it fiercely on the dirty spot. He rubbed it back and forth. Although no sound came out of his mouth, he knew from the shape of his mouth that he must be greeting Filch's family.

"Huh! You guys are really getting an advantage!"

Then he began to murmur about the past ways of punishing students, such as being hung in a dungeon, whipped, and deprived of food.

The few young wizards nearby were so angry that they really wanted to stuff the mops in their hands into the mouth of this annoying guy.

They are punished by cleaning the castle, and this is just the beginning of the punishment.

After dinner, they had to stay in class and copy school rules.

Afterwards, two more professors, Snape and Professor McGonagall, were punished by the Head of School.

In short, they were unlucky!

But at this time, the Gryffindors raised their heads slightly and looked at the Slytherins who were also rubbing their tiles with their buttocks and grunting.

The resentment deep in my heart suddenly reduced by more than half.

These guys are usually arrogant and talk about being noble and elegant, but what about now?

Not so disgraced!

Involuntarily, the little lions felt a strong sense of relief in their hearts.

"Ahem! Let's go!" Anthony said awkwardly in a low voice.

They were a little embarrassed by the group of senior students who stuck their butts out.

I don't know if it was them, including the students from other colleges, who didn't dare to stay on the stairs for too long.

Of these two academies, one loves to play dirty tricks, while the other loves to fight head-on.

It's hard to escape if bitten by that one.

Forget it, it's better not to 'disturb' them.

Afterwards, Anthony and Harry arrived on the seventh floor.

After walking through the last spiral staircase, I stood on a stone platform.

In front of him is a life-size portrait.In the painting is a graceful and luxurious woman.

"Password!" the fat lady asked lazily.

"Dragons!" Harry responded.

After answering the password, the Fat Madam slowly stretched out her hand and made a gesture to invite in, and then the entire portrait began to deflect, revealing a hole.

Passing through the somewhat narrow opening, there is a comfortable circular room, which is the Gryffindor common room.

It is different from the somewhat restrictive little house shown in the movie.

It's really a lounge, its area is quite large.

Anthony was pretty sure that a permanent spell of infinite expansion had been cast here, because it looked out of place with the perceived area outside.

The Gryffindor common room in the movie feels like a very warm home, small but warm enough.

But the actual lounge is different.

The circular room is divided into inner and outer areas.

As soon as you enter the entrance, the most eye-catching thing is the fireplace on the left, which is the symbol of Gryffindor and represents the element of fire.

To the left of the fireplace is the staircase that stretches outward, which is the entrance to the girls' dormitory.

To the right of the entrance were unique spaces opened up, and Harry and the others didn't know what was there.

The freshmen haven’t had time to explore yet.

Further to the right is the entrance to the boys' dormitory.

The above area occupies half of the outer circle of the lounge, and the remaining half is where students use to rest and review their homework. There are quite a few tables, chairs, and surrounding bookshelves, connecting this place with other locations. Isolated, it makes the area look like a study room in a library.

After that comes the inner ring part.

There were quite a few soft armchairs surrounding the phoenix fireplace in the center. The weather was still quite hot in September, so the fireplace was not lit.

However, Harry and the others had heard from the senior students that as long as they lit the fireplace in the lounge, the flame would rise like a phoenix.The swaying of the flames makes it appear as if its wings and tail are gently swaying.
