From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"Percy, why is he here?"

Fred habitually looked at George with a questioning look, but after turning half a circle and failing to find him, he realized - oh, George had gone to clean the toilet.

This thought made him funny and a little uneasy at the same time. He and George had been in confinement together in the past, and it made him a little uncomfortable not to see George in his sight for so long.

But such worries soon disappeared. Percy, who had found a seat to sit, was walking towards him quickly.

"George, why did you stop?"

Percy yelled at him fiercely in front of everyone.

"Professor, George's quill has been down for a while."

In Fred's surprised eyes, Percy looked around in confusion before turning around and complaining in a rather gentle tone.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you complete the task, it's normal to have a little hesitation when cleaning up - as long as it is completed within the specified time, of course, if it doesn't work, I applied for a few sleeping bags, hoping they won't be used."

"Oh, by the way, if you have to use a sleeping bag, the door will be locked. I will ask some gentlemen from the oil paintings to keep an eye on the door lock."

William's added words suddenly dimmed the eyes of several bright-eyed boys - as a person who came here as a student and listened to countless stories in Azkaban, William is quite knowledgeable about plugging loopholes that students may find. .

——

"If it is not qualified, the transcript should not be read out once. Modifying words must be removed. Those adjectives that describe the event such as despicable and dirty can be removed."

"Not qualified, the writing format is wrong."

"Rework, too many deeds were ignored."

…

After the students finished copying the first file, Percy began to work quickly, with such a serious attitude that William had to interrupt the paper to express his appreciation.

As Professor Binns said in his introduction, Percy is a person who is still very patient with boring work.

‘It’s strange, Professor Binns is right, but how did he find out? ’

With such doubts, William continued to write out papers.

——

"Okay, gentlemen and ladies, congratulations on finishing tonight's work ahead of schedule. We will continue next weekend."

After Percy carefully reviewed all the manuscripts, William announced that tonight's work was officially completed - he also took this opportunity to complete three sets of papers, feeling full of accomplishment.

"Students at the back, how did you finish the test paper? Are you confident in handing in the paper in advance?"

He cheerfully greeted the students behind him who were doing exam papers, but no one answered him.

"It doesn't seem like that -" William shook his head and looked at the students in front, "Okay, your work is done. Students who are willing to wait for their partners can stay in the classroom and wait. If you are bored, you can come to me and ask for a copy. examination paper--"

Before William could finish speaking, all the students said goodbye and left the classroom as if they were running for their lives, leaving behind their friends who were scolding their lack of loyalty and writing furiously.

"Well, it seems that the test paper is not very popular," he waved to the last student who slipped out of the door, and then turned to look at Percy.

"How's it going? Is work going well?"

"Very good, Professor."

Percy, who looked calm, looked a little suppressed - which made William feel guilty all of a sudden.

‘Isn’t it too much to ask the best students from sixth grade to review the manuscript? This is the student with the best academic performance in Hogwarts. He has twelve certificates and is a top student. The review files are overqualified. ’

"Thank you for your hard work. I was supposed to do this job, but you performed very well today. To be honest, I didn't expect this work efficiency at all."

William patted his shoulder approvingly, and then took out a small money bag from his pocket.

"Today's allowance - don't refuse. They are here for confinement and you are here to work overtime. There is a special fund for compiling history books for the school. The amount is not large, but it must be there."

"Professor, this..."

"Here, I have to work hard for you next week. This is my first large-scale copying this week, so I used a shorthand quill to deal with the less important parts. Next week will be more difficult. I will discuss the salary increase with Professor McGonagall. .”

After paying the allowance, William felt much less guilty about the tool squeezer, and he patted Percy on the shoulder again.

"Okay, let's go back to the lounge and fulfill our prefect duties. Go ahead."

Percy left the classroom with an excited face, leaving behind William and a group of students who were busy writing.

"Their confinement has ended early. I'll give you another twenty minutes. If you can't finish it, you can go back with the test papers."

——

"Phew, Percy is crazy! I got hit twice!"

"Twice is nothing - three times! It's said to be an inspection, but it's actually just a detention together. How did he get the energy to keep an eye on him?"

"You guys are pretty good. I just made a lot of typos, but Percy actually took my transcript to the professor to discuss whether he should let me clean the toilet!"

Almost as soon as they left the classroom, a group of troublemakers entered an empty classroom. Although Filch had taken over the daily gathering, they still had a backup location.

Almost as soon as they entered, everyone started to complain about Percy - that is to say, the majesty of the prefect and professor combination suppressed these guys, otherwise they would have quarreled with Percy in the classroom.

Just when a group of people were complaining happily, the door of the classroom was suddenly opened.

Everyone immediately held their heads and started rushing towards the door - they suspected that Filch had captured people based on their faces last time.

"Stop—what are you thinking?"

George's helpless voice sounded at the door, and the people who rushed up sneered and returned to their original positions.

"What is the taste?"

"Shut up, Fred, you traitor - you spent three hours scrubbing the toilet too."

Lee Jordan said pretending to be serious.

"Oh, Lee, you're washing a chamber pot."

George put his hand on his shoulder without disdain. After the two met in the castle, they rushed to the empty classroom. After communicating on the way, they discovered that there was a traitor in their midst.

The Toilet Faction and the Chamber Pot Faction proudly invaded the space of other people. They formed an alliance and unscrupulously squeezed the space of other factions, as if they had won a battle.

…

"Speaking of which, why is Percy there? That big head has never been associated with solitary confinement in the past. Why is he so proud today?"

After a group of people had been busy for a long time, they finally turned the topic back to today's hot topic - Percy and the solitary room. They didn't even want to talk about it.

"I'll tell you why-"

The classroom door was opened again, and this time students came in with hollowed-out faces - they had just barely survived William's test paper, and all of them had narrowly missed passing the exam.

"We're in solitary confinement, Percy—he's got a stipend from the professor."

The air suddenly became dull.
