Huh? There's a magic school here.

After inquiring about the new professors' needs, Andres accessed the in-game store. He found the faculty lounge cards, and to ensure they had the same access as the other professors, Andres spent 4,200 system points to redeem six level-three faculty lounges. He then materialized them in their respective locations using a 3D castle map.

Andres now had 194,575 system points remaining, and this number continued to grow as the children leveled up. Andres thought for a moment, realizing he seemed to have forgotten something, then looked at the system points he had spent that day and suddenly remembered. He needed to inform the students about these things, so he had the portrait behind him summon Professor McGonagall.

A moment later, Professor McGonagall knocked on the principal's office door.

"Principal Andres, what can I do for you?"

"Oh, I was so focused on the new professors today that I forgot to inform the students! So I'd like to trouble you to tell each student to buy a telescope. Also, please inform the first and second year students in the three-year and five-year programs that they can register for elective courses. We need to know the number of registrations to plan the courses for the second half of the academic year."

"No problem, is there anything else?"

"No, thank you for your help, Professor McGonagall!"

After receiving instructions from Andreas, Professor McGonagall returned and began writing letters to all the young wizards. She first wrote the two notices on parchment, made four copies, and then summoned her house-elf Kreacher to post the notices on the bulletin boards of the four houses.

Then he copied the letters over four hundred times, writing down the address of each young wizard. He then used a levitation charm on the letters to arrive at the Owl Tower. Suddenly, someone arrived at the Owl Tower in the dead of night, and all the owls opened their eyes and looked towards the entrance. They saw a huge pile of letters floating in, and they stared in astonishment at the letters and the newcomer.

Professor McGonagall said, feeling embarrassed by the stares from the little ones.

"I know it's hard on you to deliver the mail so late, but we have no choice but to deliver these letters to the students on time, so I can only ask for your help."

The owls knew it was their duty, so they flew in a row in front of Professor McGonagall without hesitation. After Professor McGonagall magically bound the letters, they flew into the sky one by one. Professor McGonagall put down the letters and, seeing Kreacher returning to report, handed him the remaining ones. Then, under the guise of her night patrol, Professor McGonagall went from house to house to inform the prefects to call the young wizards from the Kingdom of the Lighthouse, the Kingdom of the Dragon, and the Kingdom of the Bear the next day at the Hogsmeade Village telephone room to inform them of this news.

While Professor McGonagall was sending her letter, Andres was in the Headmaster's office looking at the system. He was reviewing the illusionary missions. He could have arranged for a student or professor to open Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets beforehand, but he wanted to see what was going on with Guo Mingyu's Ravenclaw Chamber of Secrets first. So he wasn't in a hurry to send anyone; after all, the Chamber of Secrets was there and wouldn't move.

But looking at the progress bar for the Ravenclaw Chamber of Secrets, which was only five percent complete, made him feel incredibly frustrated. The progress was increasing by a tiny bit every day. He had no excuse to ask Guo Mingyu what was going on, so he could only watch the progress slowly advance.

The next day, the entire Sky Isle was covered in snow, but the heavy snowfall did not dampen the enthusiasm of the young wizards to go out and have fun.

Today is New Year's Day, the first day of the new year. Just as they woke up, Hogwarts gave them a surprise. The surprise was that they would be adding one compulsory course and five elective courses for the second semester, although the five elective courses had nothing to do with the seven-year junior wizards.

The mandatory astronomy class required all the young wizards to prepare a telescope for themselves, so they took advantage of the holidays to go in groups to Devi's and Banshees' shops in Hogsmeade to buy one. At the moment, only this shop could sell them, so many young wizards set off in twos and threes after breakfast.

Just as Pang Minghui and Duan Yuze were about to leave the auditorium, Sun Jiahui and a girl from China came over and stopped them.

"Minghui, are the four of you going to Hogsmeade Village?"

"Yes, we were just about to buy a telescope. We don't have anything else to do today, so we'll go buy it first. What are you and Han Yujie planning to do?"

"We want to go too, let's go together!"

"No problem, let's go!"

So the group braved the heavy snow and headed toward Hogsmeade Village, laughing and joking along the way.

The main reason was that, apart from Pang Minghui and Guo Mingyu, the other four were all from the south and had never seen such heavy snow before. They hadn't expected to encounter such heavy snow in their first year at Hogwarts, so naturally they weren't going to let the opportunity pass them by. During their playful antics, some even used magic; for example, Sun Jiahui used a levitation charm to float several snowballs and chase Duan Yuze at them.

Pang Minghui used a transformation spell to turn the snowball into a snow dog to chase Zheng Yunwen. Yes, it was a snow dog—a dog made of snow. Pang Minghui's skill wasn't quite there yet; he only transformed it into a snow dog, not a real one. But it was enough for a bit of fun; at least it could run and bark.

After they had finished fooling around on the way, the group started talking about elective courses.

"Minghui, which courses would you like to take?"

"I just received the notification, and I haven't decided yet."

"What about you and Han Yujie?"

"We haven't made a choice yet, so we wanted to ask for your opinions this time."

"We still need to be cautious. We already have six compulsory courses that take up a significant portion of our time."

"Old Pang is right, it's already taking up a lot of time. There are two classes a week for each course, that's already twelve classes, and if you add a lot of homework on top of that, well, the good days are over."

"Old Duan, it's not that exaggerated. Actually, we just need to choose from four elective courses, right?"

"Hey, Guo Mingyu, you don't even have a cold, so why are you talking nonsense! There were clearly five elective courses, but you've made it into four."

"No, Guo Mingyu is right. Actually, you just need to choose from the four options."

"Hey Han Yujie, how come you've teamed up with Guo Mingyu and are talking nonsense with him?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by 'in cahoots'? What we mean is that divination and arithmetic divination are actually the same type of course. If you want to take a divination course, just choose one of them; there's no need to choose both. Because their purpose is the same: divination!"

"Oh, we understand now. But it really is true that we only need to choose one, wait a minute! When did you two become 'the two of us'? How come we didn't know? You've done a good job keeping it a secret!"

"Duan Yuze, you're going to die!"

Enraged, Han Yujie waved her wand again, raising several snowballs that she threw at Duan Yuze.
