The Times of London ran the headline: "Who is he?" Accompanied by a photo of Andres, it appeared on the front page. The content was fairly standard, briefly introducing yesterday's press conference and focusing on Andres's background.

The gist of the story is that Andres started as an orphan, working odd jobs to survive, and then struck it rich during the World Cup. After becoming wealthy, he bought Sky Island and became its Earl. He then met Catherine and together they founded a magical financial investment company. This company's assets multiplied dozens of times in just one year.

This greatly shocked the readers. The fact that an orphan could rise to prominence so quickly was like reading a fairy tale.

Tabloids like The Sun, which love sensationalist stories, offer even more entertaining content. Their headline reads: "The Man Behind the Prime Minister!" These tabloids, known for their sensationalism, don't hesitate to make fun of the Prime Minister to attract readers' attention.

The Sun reported that Andres is ostensibly an orphan, but is actually the Prime Minister's illegitimate son from many years ago with his former lover. The two only recognized each other a year ago, which explains Andres's rise to prominence. The Prime Minister even made a special appearance yesterday to support Andres's future.

This report, due to its high entertainment value, amused readers and was believed by many. Catherine, upon seeing the report, was furious! She then filed a lawsuit in the local court against the Magic Financial Investment Company, citing inaccuracies and other reasons. The Sun, always eager for such tactical escapades, simultaneously fought the lawsuit with Catherine and extensively reported that Andres was enraged.

Several months later, the district court penalized The Sun for publishing false news, ordering a public apology and a settlement with Andres. However, Andres was too busy to handle the matter at the time, so Catherine took over.

While the outside world was in turmoil, our Principal Andres was still busy, mainly preparing for the arrival of new students next semester.

Andres calculated his assets. He had accumulated a total of 20,400 system points since last year. Of these, the remaining points from the previous semester, plus the points from January and February, totaled 9,180 system points. After the rule change in mid-March, he gained 3,060 points in March. Andres earned a total of 9,160 system points in April and May.

After checking his points, Andres opened the system interface. Through the 3D castle model, the first thing Andres noticed was the common rooms for each college. Currently, the common rooms for all four colleges were only at level one, with each college only able to accommodate fifty students. This was clearly insufficient; there were eight hundred students in the second semester, averaging two hundred per college. And this was just an average; it was impossible for each college to have exactly that capacity.

Therefore, the students' common room needs to be upgraded from level one to level four, which means each college needs fourteen common room cards, for a total of fifty-six cards across the four colleges. Subtracting the four cards awarded as a reward from the last main quest, fifty-two more cards still need to be purchased.

Five thousand two hundred system points! Andres felt a pang of pain just thinking about it. But he had no other choice but to reluctantly buy them.

"Purchase of 52 public lounge cards successful, deducting 5,200 system points."

Looking at the 3D model of the castle, Andres upgraded the common rooms of the four academies to level four, increasing the capacity of each academy's common rooms to accommodate four hundred students. Furthermore, fatigue recovery speed increased by twenty percent. This means students spend less time sleeping in the common rooms and more time studying.

Having promised Dobby that he would add five more companions, Andres spent 500 points in the system to buy five more House-Elf cards.

Andres shouted "Dobby!" into the void above the principal's office.

Then, a short while later, a house-elf appeared in the headmaster's office, bowed, and asked Andres a question.

"Dobby is at your service, Principal Andres. What can I do for you?"

"Nothing special, it's just that I promised you five companions last time. Today I can fulfill that promise."

After saying this, Andres used the five House-Pocket cards, and five more House-Pockets appeared beside Dobby. They also bowed and greeted Andres.

"It's a pleasure to serve you, Principal Andres!"

Dobby stood to the side, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Dobby is so touched, I really don't know how to thank you enough. Great Principal Andres, Dobby would be willing to die for you."

Seeing that Dobby was about to go into a frenzy, Andres quickly spoke up to stop him.

"Alright, Dobby, take them to get familiar with their work environment! I have other things to do, and oh, bring me a glass of iced watermelon juice."

“Yes, Principal Andres, I’ll take care of it right away.”

So Dobby disappeared with the other five house-elves.

Andres had planned to summon ten more owls and upgrade the Owl Tower, but then he thought it wasn't urgent and put it aside for now. So he drank the watermelon juice Dobby had brought him and started flipping through the notes on Transfiguration Charms that Professor McGonagall had given him. He had been studying the Animagus section carefully lately.

Animagus has always been a spell that Andres can't forget, and he hopes to learn it as soon as possible.

While Andreas was studying, the young wizards at Hogwarts had just finished their lessons.

They walked in groups toward their respective common lounges.

Nora pulled Jerome along and quickly headed towards the Slytherin common room.

"Hurry up, Jerome! I'm going to get my revenge for yesterday! I refuse to believe I can't beat you at wizard chess!"

The other two friends beside him, Fabio and Anil, shook their heads and sighed repeatedly after hearing Jean's words, offering words of advice.

“Jean-Nor, let’s go to the auditorium for lunch! Dobby said lunch is going to be very plentiful. Besides, it’s just a game of chess, there’s no need to rush.”

"What do you know? Wizard chess has been in high demand lately. Jerome and I waited a long time to get a table for yesterday's game. We can eat later, or you can bring some food back for us."

Jerome felt he shouldn't have agreed to play chess with Jeanne yesterday. Jeanne had been cursed by the devil lately, dragging them to play chess whenever he had free time.

Just as the four of them were noisily making their way to the lounge door, they found it blocked.

What's going on? It's possible that one or two people might forget the password, but surely so many people can't all forget it.

So they squeezed in and found that the Slytherin common room had been completely transformed. They finally understood why the other young wizards had been standing at the door in a daze.

"Hurry up and go inside, don't just stand there blocking the doorway!"
