Hogwarts: I inherited my legacy

However, during this period of time, some interesting things happened.

For example, when Raven went to the Great Hall for dinner that day, there were only the four breakfast group members at the huge Hufflepuff table. The other Hufflepuffs had disappeared somewhere, and the students from other colleges who were sitting in the row near the Hufflepuff table had also squeezed to the other side of the table.

Not to mention the young wizards, even the professors were on pins and needles, turning a blind eye to the changes at the Hufflepuff table.

As Misty had reminded me before, the wizarding world is a small society where people are very close and have few secrets.

Don’t Muggles have a theory of six degrees of separation? Through six people, you can connect to another person in the world.

The magic world is smaller, with only about 10,000 permanent residents, so the connections are closer.

Last night, there were at least ten wizards who knew about the death of Minister of Magic Barty Crouch. That's one thousandth of the wizarding world's population.

Putting aside little wizards like Hermione who came from Muggle society,

The other little wizards could easily establish contact with the dozen or so people who knew about it.

It's not just Xenophilius Lovegood who cares about his daughter. Everyone else at Hogwarts also has families they care about, right?

So the rumor that the ancient demon king Raven assassinated old Barty Crouch spread throughout Hogwarts along with the urgent letters brought by the owls at noon.

Thanks to Xenofilius Lovegood, who opened Fang's emergency mail delivery service, Luna was the first to know the rumor.

Other parents were not so aggressive. Even those who had also subscribed to Sharp Fang's emergency letter mailing service did not dare to use it to deliver messages and instead wrote and mailed letters themselves.

"So it was you who really did it, Raven?" Ron asked.

And Raven responded to the little brother's malicious question as he had prepared long ago.

Raven said to Ron with a tone of contempt, regret, and undisguised sarcasm,

"Ron, I've told you so many times to read less The Quibbler. How could you ask such a stupid question? No, you are not allowed to read that magazine anymore! You only read The Quibbler because of it."

This question and answer was compiled by Draco into "Swedish", and then promoted to the whole Hogwarts.

[Watching "The Quibbler"]

For a while, it became the most commonly used sentence pattern for young wizards to attack each other.

The little wizards who didn't subscribe to "The Quibbler" kept saying this because of their inexplicable sense of superiority.

The little wizards who had watched "The Quibbler" before,

I also began to compare the content related to "The Death of Barty Crouch Sr." with the traditional, reliable paper media (especially the Daily Prophet).

Even though the Daily Prophet itself was often out of tune, it was obviously more credible than The Quibbler, which announced the discovery of the Crumple-Horned Snorkeller.

Therefore, even the little wizard who received a warning from his parents would never believe in the arguments in "The Quibbler" again because it was too embarrassing to watch it.

Moreover, they also have an important witness, Luna Lovegood, the daughter of the editor-in-chief of The Quibbler and a die-hard fan of The Quibbler. She did not show any sign of rejecting Raven, which further proves that this report is just another eye-catching marketing campaign.

If you think about it this way, Raven is really a very generous and measured wizard. Even though Xenophilius Lovegood spread rumors about him, Raven could continue to get along normally with his daughter.

......

A few days passed like this, and it was the eve of Samhain.

Hogwarts is filled with a happy atmosphere. Even though wizards have now changed the name of this festival to Halloween, it cannot change the fact that it was once the most important festival among the Celtic people in Britain.

A large portion of Hogwarts' annual extra budget is used to purchase food for Samhain.

"bang~"

With a bang, a dark green skull took shape in the Hogwarts Great Hall. It gradually opened its mouth and let out a sinister laugh.

[The corpse reappears]!

[Dark Mark]!

Wizards who experienced the Second Wizarding War will never forget the horror brought by this mark!

Snape and Igor Karkaroff covered their arms at the same time.

Under the expectant eyes of the young wizards and the horrified gaze of the professors, the green skull opened its mouth and spit out a long, winding...stent?

And at the end of the bracket is a bird!

"Cuckoo, cuckoo..." The bird called eight times, as if reminding people that it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

At this time, the dinner should have started, but no one seemed to be in the mood to start the dinner, everyone just wanted to [eat the feast].

Many professors turned their eyes to Severus Snape, the acting headmaster who sat in Dumbledore's position.

Professor Snape's expression was extremely stiff and his face was ashen, as if he was frightened by something.

He pursed his lips slightly and forced a smile, which matched the murderous intent in his eyes, making him as chilling as a poisonous snake that was ready to bite its prey.

[loud voice]

Snape lowered his voice and spoke sinisterly in the greasy voice that was unique to him when he was angry.

"Ladies and gentlemen, before announcing the start of the dinner, I think we should first settle the matter. Gryffindor, deduct 200 points."

It’s great, Snape is really happy. In Hogwarts, deducting points is not something that can be done casually. There are strict rules for deducting points.

For example, if you can't answer a question in class, you will lose a few points, if you talk back to the professor, you will lose a few points, and if you fight, you will lose a lot of points... All the deductions and the corresponding score limits are clearly stipulated.

Moreover, people in different positions have different powers to deduct points. From high to low, they are the president, vice president, dean and professor.

Over the years, Snape has always wanted to make trouble for Gryffindor, but due to the limitations of his authority to deduct points, he cannot really deduct too many points.

Only that time, someone broke into his office and gave him the opportunity to deduct a huge number of points from Hufflepuff House at one time.

But in the end, because he suddenly changed into the Slytherin relic house uniform, these points were transferred to Slytherin house.

Later, it took Snape a long time to add these points back to Slytherin House.

But today, the situation is completely different. Snape finally realized his long-cherished wish.

With the help of the headmaster's authority, Gryffindor House was deducted 200 points at one time!

When Snape said this number, the little wizards of Gryffindor were immediately shocked.

200 points? That's outrageous! They thought it was impossible to lose so many points!

Gryffindor House only has over 200 house points remaining in this half academic year!

"no!"

"I don't agree!"

"How can you do this!"

The young wizards shouted in protest, but Snape's decision could not be changed, so they all looked at Professor McGonagall, hoping that the dean could come forward to administer justice. However, Professor McGonagall's face was livid, and it was obvious that she was very dissatisfied with the matter.

"Gryffindor, disrupting the order of the hall, deduct 10 points." Professor McGonagall announced the result of the deduction mercilessly, and then glared at the two culprits fiercely, as if she wanted to convey more information through her eyes.

"In addition, I would like to remind the two seventh-year Mr. Weasleys that you are about to enter society and should understand that there are some jokes that you absolutely cannot make, because this may affect your career, especially if you get..."

Professor McGonagall wanted to continue, but she realized that some of her words were not applicable to these two young men.

Career? These two are already bosses.

Are you kidding me about Voldemort? What? Voldemort can go and cause trouble for the brother of the ancient demon king?

Smacking her lips, Professor McGonagall thought for a moment and changed her words.

"Gryffindor, deduct 40 points."

!!!

The Gryffindors were all angry, but not at Snape.

Professor McGonagall's performance let them know who was the culprit for the deduction of points this time.

A seventh-year Weasley? George! Fred!

With the help of Harry and Neville's explanation, the Gryffindors finally understood what George and Fred had done!

They were messing around with the Dark Mark!

The Dark Mark was changed beyond all recognition by the two of them. The young wizards who had not seen it with their own eyes could not recognize that the green skull was such a notorious thing.

Only they two can be so arrogant because they have a great druid brother!

......

"Hey? Ron, where's Raven?" Hermione asked.

"No, Harry and Neville, you knew about this too? Are you hiding something from me?"

The three of them felt their scalps tighten.

Fortunately, Ginny came to the rescue in time.

"Today is Samhain Eve, and the druids are celebrating at Stonehenge."
