Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

It is important to keep an eye on Mr. Filch's location at all times. You should have noticed that he can always quickly find the scene of some naughty students."

"Of course, that's not what we're going to talk about today. Today we have four tasks to complete, and each of us will be responsible for one."

Sirius used his wand to point at the kitchen on the map. At this time, there were ink dots of several students showing in the kitchen. It was obvious that they were preparing food in the kitchen early in the morning.

"Jack, go coordinate with the house elves to determine the new menu for tomorrow's Hogwarts end-of-term dinner and reorganize the kitchen rules."

Jack patted his chest and said loudly: "No problem!"

The wand moved to the library.

"Emily, Madam Pince has complained about students sneaking food into the library. I need your help designing a spell or a magical device that can detect food at the library entrance.

You'll need to discuss the specific screening details with Madam Pince. She's free right after the exam."

Emily pushed up her glasses. "Interesting challenge."

Pointing the wand at the greenhouse:

"Augustine, I need you to sort out the students' daily performance this semester, and then send them to their parents along with their grades and any preparations for next semester..."

After hearing what Sirius said, the four of them took a deep breath. Fortunately, they graduated early, because their school performance reports would still be sent to their parents.

Augustine smiled bitterly. This job would offend people.

PS: Answers to the assessment questions

1. B. Walk normally, no running. Explanation: Hogwarts school rules clearly prohibit students from running in the corridors.

2. D. Check the classroom for any abnormalities. Analysis: Safety is paramount. The Academic Affairs Office assistant must first confirm whether there are any dangerous objects or magical residues in the empty classroom before handling any student violations.

C. Arrive at the designated classroom on time for the elective course. Analysis: A is an illegal operation in Potions class (may cause an explosion), B is an abuse of mischief magic, and D is a violation of dormitory rules. Only C is a legal behavior.

B. First understand the reason for being late, and then deal with it according to the situation. Analysis: Hogwarts emphasizes education and guidance rather than direct punishment, which reflects humane management.

B. Give them a warning first, and ask them to leave if they do it again. Explanation: Referring to the Quidditch rules, the management of the stand area follows the "warning-expulsion" process to ensure the order of the game while giving them the opportunity to correct their behavior.

A. Arrive at the scene quickly to stop the conflict. Analysis: Physical conflict is an emergency. The Academic Affairs Office assistant must intervene immediately to control the situation and then hand it over to the college dean for handling.

B. Education is the main approach, with punishment as a supplement. Analysis: Hogwarts' educational philosophy emphasizes transformation rather than punishment. For example, Headmaster Dumbledore has repeatedly mentioned that "mistakes are opportunities for growth," and punishment is only a supplementary measure.

C. Tell parents the student's performance in school truthfully, but be mindful of protecting the student's privacy. Analysis: Privacy protection principles must be adhered to, and irrelevant information (such as other students' situations) must not be disclosed. At the same time, communication between home and school must be maintained, as per the "Staff Communication Guidelines."

9. B. After soliciting opinions from teachers and student representatives, report to the principal for approval. Analysis: The revision of school rules requires democratic participation. School rules stipulate that major adjustments to school rules must be discussed by the teachers and students council, and the principal has the final decision-making power.

10. B. Mediation and resolution after thorough investigation: Property disputes must first be investigated (e.g. using a Memory Recall Charm) before mediation. Direct punishment or notification to the Ministry of Magic does not conform to the school's dispute resolution process (the Ministry of Magic only intervenes in criminal cases).

Chapter 361 Sirius's Acting Skills

Finally, the wand stopped in the underground classroom:

“Victoria, this most challenging task is given to you, coordinating a small issue between Holmes and your dean.

Professor Holmes wants to borrow the sixth and seventh grade students to help refine a new wolfsbane potion, but you know... your dean doesn't like Doug's potion skills, so he doesn't allow students to refine the potion..."

Victoria narrowed her eyes and sneered:

"Are you serious? You want me to convince Professor Snape to agree to Professor Holmes's request?"

Sirius said in mock seriousness:

"Of course, since he recommended you, I don't think he would be mad at you... maybe..."

Sirius himself lacked confidence as he spoke.

Victoria rolled her eyes. "You just want to see the show."

Sirius spread his hands out innocently.

Emily pointed to the activity map on the wall and said:

"Director, a student is coming."

This simplified version of the live dot map simply marks the students as ink dots, but out of respect for the students' privacy, no names are associated with them.

Turning around, I saw that a black dot had indeed climbed the stairs to the third floor.

There are two offices on the third floor. One is Douglas' Defense Against the Dark Arts office, and next to it is the Academic Affairs Office. It is not clear who the student is looking for.

Sirius clapped his hands and said:

"That's settled then. The mission begins. Good luck to you all."

The ink spot moving towards the third floor was Harry.

After all, which good student would go to the professor's floor early on weekend morning after taking the exam? What's more, the Academic Affairs Office is also on this floor.

He was also very nervous, and at first he wanted to go to Sirius to discuss it.

But Ron's words, like a little hammer, kept knocking in his head.

"He's been giving you trouble lately, always finding excuses to publicly deduct your grades. If you tell him, your grades for next semester will probably be deducted before you even leave school."

The moment he stepped onto the stairs to the third floor, his goal was clear: to find Douglas, his cousin who was closer than blood.

As soon as I turned the corner, I saw the door of the Academic Affairs Office open.

He stopped.

Sirius walked them to the door and gave them a few instructions.

As he watched the few people walking towards the stairs, a sly smile appeared on his lips.

"I can't cause trouble for you, but others can!"

He was muttering to himself, wondering if he should go to Douglas' office to borrow some good tea, when he saw a familiar figure pop up from around the corner, then suddenly shrink back after seeing him.

Harry saw Sirius talking to four young people who looked like students, with a familiar smile on his face.

He hadn't smiled at himself like this in a long time...

Then he dodged and retreated behind the corner.

The four men passed by Harry, looking at him curiously.

Jack William was about to ask Harry what he was doing hiding there, but Harry quickly put his finger to his mouth to tell Jack not to call him.

Jack turned his head to look at Sirius who was still at the door, then looked at Harry, smiled and nodded.

This junior is so pitiful. He was made a sitting duck just because his godfather wanted to set an example.

At first he didn't understand why Sirius targeted Harry.

It was only after asking Percy that he understood the twists and turns involved.

But Percy didn't let anyone tell Harry the truth.

When Victoria passed by Harry, she also looked at him carefully, with a hint of sympathy in her eyes...but more of gloating.

"Potter!"

Sirius' voice was not loud, but it could not hide the unquestionable majesty.

"You came at the right time. I just wanted to talk to you about something..."

Harry: “…”

Well, it seems there is no way to avoid it.

He steeled himself and walked towards Sirius.

When he passed by Douglas's office, he even wondered whether he should rush in and save himself.

The door slammed shut.

The office smelled like a mixture of parchment and old books.

Sirius did not sit down immediately. Instead, he turned his back to Harry and looked out the window at the distant view of Hogwarts, as if recalling something.

"What can I do for you, Director Blake?"

Harry tried his best to sound calm, but when he heard Director Black's name, he felt it was so harsh that it could kill someone.

Sirius turned around abruptly, his grey eyes filled with emotions Harry couldn't understand: disappointment, hurt, and a hint of... exhaustion?

"Director Black?"

He repeated Harry's words with a bit of self-mockery, and reached out to touch his hair. His originally neatly combed black hair suddenly looked a bit messy, and coupled with his current look, he looked even more lonely and haggard.

"Harry, when did we become so estranged?"

Harry silently took a small step back and opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer.

What did he say? He said that you have been deducting my points recently and causing trouble for me all the time?

Sirius strode up to Harry, his piercing eyes seeming to penetrate his soul.

"Do you feel that I have been targeting you recently?"

Harry pursed his lips and said nothing, but his expression said it all.

Sirius scratched his hair irritably, with a hint of grievance in his anger.

"Merlin's Doug, I knew it, I knew you would think so!"

He began to pace.

Harry froze.

Sirius stared at Harry, his voice filled with suppressed anger, but more of a deep helplessness.

"Dumbledore trusted me and gave me this position.

What would others say if I were to be nice to you every day and turn a blind eye to the mistakes you make?

They say I'm partial to my children!

Gryffindors might understand, but what about Slytherins? What about the other houses? Will they be convinced?

Harry's head buzzed.

This plot, this routine, this rhetoric...

The man who claimed to be his cousin...

Sirius continued with his performance.

"I must be hard on you, Harry! I must make an example of you!

Only in this way can we stop the gossips and let everyone know that the Academic Affairs Office is fair and everyone is equal before school rules!

It's good for you, it's good for me, it's good for all of Hogwarts!"

Harry looked at Sirius strangely, but said:

"But...but your deduction of points is too..."

Sirius raised an eyebrow and softened his tone a little, but still with a hint of disappointment.

"That's too harsh, isn't it? Do you think I agree? Every time you deduct points, I feel even worse than you do! But it's all for others to see, do you understand?"

He sighed, walked to his desk and sat down, sinking into the chair, looking a little tired.

"I thought... I thought you would understand, Harry."

Sirius' voice became low, even a little lonely.

"That guy Doug is always smiling and joking with you guys, but he's more ruthless than anyone else at critical moments. Don't you trust him a lot?

How come you have no trust in me?"

After saying that, he glanced at Harry.

But Harry was not as guilty as he had imagined. Instead, he stared at him with a half-smile on his face.

Then Harry said in a disappointed tone:

"Sirius, you've become a bad person! You've become a bad person following Professor Holmes..."

Sirius???

The expression on Sirius's face froze.
