"...The full-time boarding system at Hogwarts has severed the imprint of the original family..."
"After long and careful thinking, I think we need to pay attention to the lack of family links in the growth process of students..."
"Although the dormitories of each college are unified, they should also be personalized. Dormitory inspections are not just a simple visit, but more importantly, fine-tuning down to the 'personal' level."
"On the other hand, adolescent children are often particularly sensitive, and home-school coordination must fully consider the students' feelings. I hope that the deans will try to give everyone some time before allowing parents to enter the student dormitories for 'bed check'.
Sort yourself out and tidy up to avoid unnecessary resistance and parent-child conflicts..."
Professor Flitwick recalled Dumbledore's previous message on the "Magic Lesson Plan", looked around at some young wizards who were still in a daze, and blinked quickly.
"It's only half an hour. I think everyone wants their parents to see a neat and standard personal bed - okay, go quickly!"
Hogwarts prefects and castle keepers will not check individual beds, so most young wizards will choose to hide 'contraband' in their own beds.
Generally speaking, some boys who love reading will hide study materials under their pillows, while girls will secretly stuff toys into boxes under the bed.
Of course, some other little wizards may also hide something even more outrageous——
For example, Acromantula babies, tons of magic fireworks...
Sure enough, with Professor Flitwick's almost explicit reminder, the expressions of almost all the young wizards changed.
Before the parents could react, the students in the common room dispersed in an instant, running towards their dormitories like frightened rabbits.
In less than two minutes, only Professor Flitwick and a group of parents with strange expressions were left in the Ravenclaw common room, looking at each other.
You know, they also had their restless and rebellious youth, so naturally you can vaguely guess what the children are anxious about.
"Well, it seems the children have a lot of secrets-"
Mrs. Streep shrugged, looking through her daughter's magic book, glanced at her husband beside her, and said with a smile.
"Speaking of which, when I was Meryl's age, the bottom of my bed was filled with love letters from other boys. Some of them were even jealous for a long time—"
"There should be no love letters under Meryl's bed," Mr. Streep pretended not to hear the second part of the sentence and analyzed it seriously, "after all, everyone now knows about her engagement——"
"Oh, is this the reason why someone 'accidentally' lost most of my letters on the pretext of helping me pack my luggage when I graduated?"
Streep snorted and muttered dissatisfiedly.
Her voice was so soft that only Mr. Streep could hear it, and Mr. Streep grinned guiltily.
"By the way, speaking of it - Mrs. Streep..."
At this moment, a witch coughed lightly, held up her skirt and walked over to sit next to Mrs. Streep.
"Miss Streep is engaged to a boy from the Weasley family. After getting in touch with him, what do you think about it - Mr. and Mrs. Weasley or some other children?"
"Well, you are——"
Mrs. Streep turned her head in confusion and looked at the strange witch who came over.
"O'Connor, O'Connor Crevat...I am Penelo's mother."
Mrs. Crevat raised the magic book in her hand towards her, "I heard Penello say that Miss Streep helped her a lot in the academy."
"Oh, I heard Meryl mention it - that child should be the prefect of Ravenclaw House now, right?"
Mrs. Streep's vigilant expression immediately softened, and she nodded with a smile.
"This is what it should be. After all, Miss Crevat is Meryl's 'sister'——"
In each college, the inheritance relationship between the prefects is the closest and closest, because many times the prefects will work together across grades to maintain the order of the college.
Especially in Ravenclaw House, the female prefects of the lower grades will call the female prefects of the upper grades their sisters, forming a wonderful relationship similar to the help and care of the seniors.
"As for Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, they are very friendly. Although there are many children in the family, every child is surprisingly outstanding - what's wrong?"
"Well, actually..."
Mrs. Crevat hesitated for a few seconds and sighed helplessly.
"My Penelope also seems to be fascinated by a Weasley, her Gryffindor prefect in the same grade, Percy Weasley."
"Percy Weasley? That's an outstanding student who even the Ministry of Magic pays extra attention to—"
Another voice interrupted, and the two turned their heads, only to see a witch with long chestnut wavy hair and gold-rimmed glasses approaching eagerly.
"Mrs. Acmore? Did you get any special news?"
Mrs. Streep raised her eyebrows slightly, turned her head and asked curiously with a smile.
In fact, she didn't really like this witch who was a bit noisy and liked to ask around and pass on gossip.
But I have to admit that as an office employee of the Floo Network, Mrs. Acmore does have the advantage of being well-informed that most wizards do not have.
"You should also know that there have been many new journals in the magic world in the past two years, including many rapidly rising publications like "Into Magic" and "Potions"."
"Well, of course - and the editor-in-chief is there now."
Mrs. Streep nodded and glanced at Xenophilius, who was sitting in the corner not far away.
"So, what does this have to do with Percy Weasley...Is that Mr. Weasley going to work in a magazine after graduation?"
"Of course not - you should listen to what the professors say, the employment situation in the wizarding world may become increasingly severe in the next few years."
Mrs. Acme waved her hand, paused slightly, and looked around casually.
Following her voice, most of the parents who were chatting and looking through students' books slowed down slightly, apparently eavesdropping on their conversation.
"However, the professors at Hogwarts have some things they haven't finished talking about, such as some new judging criteria-"
"In fact, the Ministry of Magic also believes that the O.W.Ls and N.E.W.Ts exam scores alone are difficult to fully reflect the excellence of a wizard. It is more of a certificate... right? Therefore, the Ministry of Magic will gradually introduce some new ones in the future.
dimensions as a reference..."
"A new dimension?" Mrs. Crevat repeated in confusion.
"Well, I heard that the ministry plans to include the number of papers people publish in journals, as well as the type of journals, into the criteria."
Mrs. Acme raised her finger and spoke softly and slowly. She especially enjoyed the feeling of being in the spotlight.
"The big guys temporarily call it the 'impact factor', and they seem to have a special calculation method."
"And as far as I know, that Percy Weasley's score is particularly high..."
