Huh? There's a magic school here.

"Of course, the so-called worst is only relative."

"That's good. The results will be announced tomorrow. We can arrange for the students to have a holiday in three days. It'll be time for student recruitment again, and we'll be very busy."

How many people do we plan to recruit this year?

"I plan to recruit another 800 people this year."

"Eight hundred people? We secretly thought you would actively expand and recruit more students!"

“I’ve thought about this. I’m planning to upgrade Hogwarts Castle to level six so it can accommodate 3,200 people at a time. But I’m afraid that if we recruit more students, the pressure will be too great. Let’s lay a solid foundation first. We can expand the number of students next year or the year after when we have a stable pool of graduates.”

"That's good. To be honest, the professors weren't prepared either. You know, in our original world, Hogwarts only had a maximum of a hundred students a year, and the whole school had only a little over a thousand people. But now we already have eight hundred people, and if another eight hundred come next semester, it will be the largest Hogwarts has ever had."

"I plan to have Professor Snape and Professor Sprout visit the Imperial Graveyard this summer, since the herb base there is already under construction and they certainly know better than us how to modify it. As for other potion ingredients, we should also start preparing them. For example, we can't always buy things from the system; we should buy some dragon eggs and raise dragons ourselves."

"Excuse my bluntness, Headmaster Andres, but where do you plan to keep these large magical creatures? And who will take care of them? Hagrid is definitely not up to the task; he can't control these dragons by himself! And what about the other magical creatures? That would require a large number of people!"

"Hmm... I think we might need a large space to raise dragons, and we definitely need a group of professional dragon breeders. How about we switch to unicorns instead of dragons? We can keep the unicorn population in the Forbidden Forest. They're not that difficult to raise!"

"Unicorns are indeed much easier to raise than dragons! I have no objection."

"Alright, I'll have Hagrid come over in a bit and we can discuss this. Oh, and could you give me the report card first?"

"Of course, you're the principal!"

So Andreas took a report card, and Professor McGonagall made several copies and gave them to the house-elves to post on the bulletin boards of each house for the students to see.

5:30 p.m., inside the Great Hall of Hogwarts.

The professors and students were already seated in the auditorium, waiting for Principal Andres to come and give the end-of-term summary.

At the long table in Gryffindor.

"Berita, I know you usually get good grades, but I didn't expect you to be in the top five of the grade!"

"Erlinda, you're not bad either! You're in the top forty of your grade!"

"Waaaaah~~ Everyone knows there are only forty students in the two-year seven-year program! You're humiliating me, I challenge you to a duel!"

After saying that, Erlinda started tickling Beretta.

"Haha, I was wrong, Erlinda, please forgive me!"

"Hmph, let's see if you dare to look down on me again!"

"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore!"

"By the way, Beretta, how are you spending your summer vacation this year?"

"Of course, it's the same as always. I'll stay at Hogwarts. I've already talked to Colette about it."

"Is Colette staying too?"

"Yes, you know her situation is somewhat special!"

“Alright then, actually I want to stay too. But my parents won’t allow it. They said they haven’t seen me in a long time and want me to go home for a while. If things get busy in Hogsmeade Village, then I can go over and help.”

"That's good too. My sister is too busy to talk to me now. I seriously suspect she has forgotten that she has a sister like me."

"Oh! My poor Beretta, we'll come to see you in Hogsmeade during the holidays, won't we, Wendy and Violet?"

"I'll definitely come, because my silly older brother might stay at school. I heard Mr. Ollivander will be quite busy lately, and he'll have to stay and help out!"

"Oh? Your parents don't have any objections?"

"Of course not, as long as my sister and I go back, that's enough!"

As they discussed their summer vacation plans, the same topic was being discussed on the other side of the Gryffindor table.

"Marion, you're amazing! I never expected you to get such a good score out of so many people!"

"Austin, you have the worst grades of the three of us! Marion and I are both in the top five, but we still don't know what the principal's mystery gift is!"

Austin felt an urge to flip the table when he heard Talia's words. However, looking at the solid wood table and chairs in front of him, he decided to hold back.

"Alright, Talia, I believe Austin just made a mistake on cue! After all, we studied together, and he tried his best, right? By the way, what are your plans for the holidays? Want to come to Bibury? Our house is big enough to accommodate everyone!"

“Really? That’s great, Marion! You know, I’m fed up with London’s terrible traffic! My parents are at work and don’t have time to look after me, so I’ll talk to them about it when I get back!”

"I really envy you guys. I probably can't do it! I have to stay home to take care of my younger brother. I don't know if he has any talent for wizardry. I wish he could become a wizard too."

"That's a real shame, Talia! Marion and I will miss you!"

Although Austin expressed regret, his face betrayed no trace of it, and even showed a hint of schadenfreude. Talia ignored Austin and even rolled her eyes at his words.

At the long table in Hufflepuff, She Jingyi and her roommate Gong Yingshi were chatting.

"Finally, I can go back home! I've had enough of the terrible food in Britain! I think I've lost a lot of weight!"

"Alright, Yingshi, you're already very thin! If you lose any more weight, you'll be malnourished!"

"I just wanted to complain that Great Britain is a food wasteland! Although the house-elves at Hogwarts have tried their best, they only ever serve the same few dishes over and over again!"

"Okay, I think this is already very good for me. I can eat so well without paying!"

"You're so easily satisfied! Never mind, what are you planning to do when you get back?"

"Of course, it's taking care of Grandma and doing my summer homework!"

"How boring! I'm coming to visit you!"

"As long as you're happy, my little darling!"

"I knew you were the best!"

"Shh, be quiet! Principal Andres is here!"

After speaking, She Jingyi turned her gaze to the professors' dining table, where Andres had just appeared. He picked up his soup spoon and gently tapped his wine glass a few times.

The entire Great Hall of Hogwarts fell silent as everyone looked at Andres, eager to know what he had to say!
