After the Christmas holiday, the new semester begins.
Hufflepuff, currently the top house in terms of points, suffered a serious blow in the first lesson.
"Miss Aibo, did you forget to bring your vacation homework? Then go back to the dormitory to get it now. I'll wait for you... Oh, did you forget it at home?"
Professor McGonagall seemed to have been prepared. She took out an owl with her backhand and placed it on Hannah's desk.
"Now send a letter home and ask them to send you your homework." Professor McGonagall blocked all excuses with a skillful and distressing speaking speed:
"Don't tell me that there is no one at home, or that you put your homework in a very secret place, and they can't find it... If you can't find it, it means you didn't write it."
"..."
Hannah was frustrated. She thought about the reason for several days. Why didn't it work?
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and walked towards the next victim. She raised her eyebrows and said:
"Miss Bones, did you forget your homework at home?"
Susan Bones was frightened when she saw Hannah's appearance. She had to admit honestly: "I forgot to write..."
"Why didn't you forget to eat?" Professor McGonagall said with a straight face, "Have you written the homework for other classes?"
"wrote……"
"Oh, I just forgot to write my Transfiguration homework, right?" Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows and said, "Miss Bones, don't you need to learn Transfiguration?"
"No, Professor McGonagall..." Susan's voice was trembling.
"You can forget to do the homework for other subjects next time, but you can't do the Transfiguration!" Professor McGonagall said sternly:
"Rewrite it now. If you can't finish it, you won't be allowed to eat. Hurry up."
Susan felt like she was mourning her heir.
Professor McGonagall walked up to Neville. He blushed and said sadly: "Professor McGonagall, I also... forgot to bring it, but I don't know if I forgot it at home or in the dormitory."
Neville couldn't even remember how to write or not.
"Your grandma sent me your homework directly, Longbottom." Professor McGonagall glanced at him and said, "She seems to think it is safer to do so."
Neville took a breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
At this moment, Justin and MacMillan came. They stood at the door and said hurriedly: "Sorry, Professor."
It's normal for them to be late. They had to make up for their homework last night until midnight, which made them very sleepy, but at least they finished it.
Professor McGonagall got the homework from the two of them before allowing them to come in.
Almost all the Ravenclaw students handed in their homework, but only a quarter of the Hufflepuff students said they forgot to bring it, a quarter had it stolen on the train, and a quarter forgot to write it.
.
It can only be said that there is no harm without comparison, so Hufflepuff was deducted several points by Professor McGonagall in one class.
After class, Rove did not leave the classroom immediately. Instead, he took Professor McGonagall's old textbook and asked some questions.
Shirley could answer his questions about transfiguration, but the handwriting was difficult to read because it was too old, so he could only ask Professor McGonagall.
Hannah, Susan and a group of Hufflepuff students were still doing their homework. They looked at Rolf with tears in their eyes, as if they wanted him to save them.
Luofu was helpless. After he left the classroom, he saw a girl with a ponytail standing in the corridor. She was holding a book in her arms, leaning against the wall, and looking at the scenery in the distance.
Students kept passing by, secretly looking at the beauty of Ravenclaw House.
Seeing the boy walking out of the classroom, Shirley came over, walked side by side with him, and asked in a low voice:
"Rolf, have you received my Christmas gift?"
"Got it." Seeing that there was no one around him, Luofu gently lifted up his robe, revealing a sweater underneath and said, "The size is quite suitable."
"I knit it for you according to the size of the unicorn plush dress." Shirley breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyelashes trembled slightly as she said:
"This is my first time making clothes for others. I used to make them for myself, and my skills were not good..."
"I love so much."
Shirley was a little shy. She blinked and asked, "How's that unicorn doing?"
"The injury is almost healed, but it is so heartless that it won't let me touch it now." When the unicorn was mentioned, Rolf became a little angry.
He used to go to therapy every day and gained a lot of favor from the unicorn, but after letting Shirley feed him a few times before the holidays, the unicorn became somewhat resistant to him.
Shirley shook her ponytail, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It seems you can't do it without me. I'd like to apply for a salary increase, boss, otherwise we'll go on strike."
"The application is rejected!" Luo Fu suppressed his smile and said seriously: "But for an excellent assistant like you, we can consider giving you some year-end bonuses."
The girl smiled sweetly.

With the beginning of the first week of the new semester, Hufflepuff, which was originally far ahead in terms of house points, was once again surpassed by Ravenclaw, who was in second place.
The little badgers of Hufflepuff House were deducted a lot of points because they didn't do their homework during the holidays.
This also proves the self-discipline of Hufflepuff students from the side. They fail in school, fail in holidays, and fail every day. What is it but self-discipline?
Professor Quirrell also fully demonstrated his arrogance. In the first class, he still asked everyone to read.
So, the little wizards dryly read the lesson "How to Deal with Kabbah", and Quirrell said that he would write the text silently in the next lesson.
If they had to choose between Quirrell and Snape, I think most students would still choose the latter.
Although Professor Snape likes to be sarcastic and eccentric, he can teach you something new and make you miserable and happy.
The reward for "helping Professor Quirrell untie his scarf so that the back of his head can fully enjoy the sunshine" continues, and the amount has even been increased to one hundred Galleons.
Many students suspected that this was a task secretly issued by Professor Snape in order to injure Professor Quirrell again so that he could continue to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Professor Snape's motivation was indeed great, especially after Professor Quirrell came back, his temper became even worse, and almost all the students had their points deducted by him.
Rolf was deducted five points for taking more herbs from the medicine storeroom; Neville was deducted ten points for getting the herbs in the wrong order when brewing the potion.
Harry was deducted the most points. He was deducted twenty points for even rubbing his eyes. The reason was that he was tired and did not protect his eyes.
Everyone couldn't stand this high-pressure atmosphere, and they just wanted to get Quirrell out quickly and let the "gentle" Snape come back.
What's more, there's a reward of one hundred galleons.
The twin brothers were the first to take action.
They enchanted some snowballs so that they chased Quirrell around and hit him on the back of his turban...
