Chapter 552 Respective Efforts

"Fred, have you noticed that our classes have become particularly strange recently?"

In the Room of Requirement, the twins, who had regarded this as their secret base, started chatting after finishing their work.

"Yes, a little bit. If you think about it carefully, even in the fifth grade, I haven't done a paper for a long time - this is not the style of a professor at all."

Fred put down the candy in his hand and thought seriously.

At this time, there was a pile of various candies piled on the table. They were either made with magic potions related to transformation, or had fixed techniques for transformation. Just one simple one would cause you to be tricked.

This is a new product, and it is also a gift for professors when they graduate. After all, they will graduate and leave school this year. Isn’t it too much to give professors some handmade candies when they say goodbye?

Of course, this great idea is still in its infancy, but the two are convinced that they can come up with candy that cannot be detected by existing testing methods.

But now we can move the question of candy back a little bit, because what we just discovered is really shocking - this is the OWLs year for fifth graders, but the professor hasn’t assigned any test papers to fifth graders for almost a month!

Is this reasonable? This is unreasonable!

Even if we put aside the torture they experienced back then, even if we put aside those emotions of jealousy and envy, aren't the grades in fifth grade important?

As the seventh-year Gryffindor seniors who performed miracles in the OWLs exam, shouldn't they be concerned about this?

Of course not!

This is seventh grade responsibility! This is the love and care that senior students show towards junior students. Is it wrong to care about their grades?

The two of them talked more and more enthusiastically, as if someone had entrusted them with some important mission, and even the props they wanted to complete were put aside on the other side.

If even professors give up on the OWLs exam, then they will be responsible for fifth grade students!

It is our duty to restore the glory of OWLs!

The two of them became excited all of a sudden. After hurriedly covering up what they were doing, they left the Room of Requirement and rushed directly to the common room to find like-minded partners.

The professor is probably addicted to the Merlin Badge, so they have to find ways to wake up the professor and save the confused fifth graders.

——

It didn't take long for the twins to return to the Gryffindor common room and find a group of students chatting there because they had no classes.

"Lee Jordan!"

They called loudly to their friend the narrator, their faces full of pride.

"Who - ah, you two are actually willing to show up!"

Lee Jordan trotted over, hugged George, and then punched Fred on the shoulder - it wasn't that he had a problem with any of them, but he couldn't tell who they were.

"Why won't it show up?" George raised his head, "What are you talking about?"

"What else is there - a job, an internship, and the big exam before graduation..."

Lee Jordan shook his head and said, "You know, life is not always so interesting. Occasionally, there will be some annoying things that pop up suddenly - but you two, really don't plan to work in the Ministry of Magic?"

Because of the performance improvement in fifth grade that shocked many people, the threshold for the twins to enter the Ministry of Magic was almost zero - considering their family background, there were not many problems behind the threshold for them.

"That's so boring - but we won't talk about that today."

The twins shook their heads, then whispered about their discovery.

"Um?"

"ah?"

"Yeah!"

"No!"

In less than five minutes, the seventh graders who stayed in the lounge discovered this serious problem after being reminded by the twins - Gryffindor's excellent study style, and the fifth graders' good character of not losing their OWLs certificate in self-defense, were actually going to Lost among this batch of students!

What is this behavior?

This is a naked betrayal of tradition and a disregard for Dean McGonagall’s hard work!

This is about the inheritance of the entire college, and the reputation of the entire college. How can people like them, who have been through this, stand by and watch?

"This matter is very serious, no no, very serious!"

Li Jordan's face showed a bit of seriousness, "We have to unite, we can't let the fifth grade students just waste their studies, we have to react with the school, we have to let the school take this matter seriously - at least Let Professor William understand that fifth grade students need supervision!"

"That makes sense!"

It’s rare for seniors to agree, “But what do we do?”

"There is no way yet..."

The twins spread their hands, "But I think this is not just a matter of our own academy. Maybe we can work together and seek help from others."

Everyone hesitated for a moment - the hatred between colleges is the most real hatred. It is too rash to seek help from other colleges...

Just when the two sides were arguing fiercely, the entrance to the lounge opened, and a fifth-grade girl named Lavender climbed in, and a red hair that everyone was familiar with came out from behind.

The two felt a little shy, and then quickly slipped back upstairs.

"Notify me?"

"Well, let me know..."

Everyone reached a consensus.

——

"Let the fifth grade be alerted?"

In the Slytherin lounge, a few students who were playing crazily reported the news to the prefects, and the seventh graders were quickly called over.

"It's not unreasonable - fifth grade students have been a little too indulgent during this period..."

"Yes, especially that one..."

Half of the words were spoken, but they were replaced by a drawn-out voice - everyone knew who that person was, the former man of the hour, classmate Malfoy, whose most famous achievement recently was his duel with the seventh graders, and both of them fell asleep. In the hospital.

After that, although the fifth-grade students still didn't play with Malfoy very much, the bullying was reduced a lot - but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the fifth-grade students looked at the seventh-grade students a little strangely, as if They could also choose a seventh-year student to be hospitalized with, like Malfoy.

This is obviously unbearable - the fifth grade students should be doing their papers obediently, trembling under the professor's intimidation, and being respectful to the seventh grade students, instead of looking unconvinced like they are now, as if they are ready at any time It's like being able to pull out a magic wand and send seniors to the hospital!

"But what should we do?"

The matter of getting the fifth grade students back on track was quickly unanimously agreed, but the question came again - how to get the fifth grade students back on track?

"Let the professor feel that they are not doing their job?"

"Making it look like their grades have dropped significantly?"

"Using public opinion to force the school to put pressure on fifth graders?"

“…”

After half a day of discussion, everyone was at a loss.

——

"Fifth grade?"

"Love to learn but not to learn... If you are an idiot enough to waste OWLs years of time, then you are really stupid..."

"What can a moment of pleasure bring now?"

"A true Ravenclaw does not rely on others' supervision to work hard. Extraordinary wisdom is the most valuable asset. If they can't even figure this out, let them have fun."

"That's right, everyone is so busy - if you can't figure this out, you might as well get eliminated in the OWLs exam."

Of course, Ravenclaw needs to understand what he needs and how to work hard. Even if it doesn't work, he should understand it if he is reminded a little bit - if this requires force...

We are all smart people, so we are all a little lazy. If it doesn't work to mention it, then you can only smile and never mention it again.

——

"Eh? Let the fifth grade return to the right path?"

Hufflepuffs on a picnic, look at me and I look at you - speaking of it, it seems that the fifth grade is indeed a bit too unorganized.

But, returning to the right path...

"They study pretty hard, right?"

"should be."

I completed my assignments and papers carefully. Although I didn't get many points, I worked hard to get them. Except for the lack of papers, there is nothing to blame, but papers are the professor's business.

"The fifth grade will occasionally help with the construction of the new greenhouse, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

With the double donation from Ilvermorny and the Ministry of Magic, the new special greenhouse was constructed very quickly. Although it was not possible to allow outsiders to enter because it was not a holiday, it was almost taking shape.

The senior students will help, and by the way, they will use some scattered open space to plant this and that in advance. The fifth grade students are also active enough.

"If they participate in every picnic, they will handle the ingredients and clean the tableware, right?"

"They can do this too... They are working very hard..."

"Then - Selma, we are discussing! Don't take out the snacks!"

"oh…"

"Anyway, let's see how they respond - it would be good to do more questions. If not, there weren't that many questions in the fifth grade before."

"OK, all right.

——

"Take outdoor classes with fifth graders again..."

It's a new week, and the twins look helpless - during this period, everyone is working together to make the rhythm of fifth grade more tense. Not to mention how many papers it is, at least not to always train for things that have nothing to do with the exam...

But contrary to expectations, the professor actually took the fifth graders out for practical exercises again, and had no intention of letting them do the test papers.

This is not good, this is not good.

The two looked at each other - all the attempts of the seniors to protest were ineffective.

Professor William ignored it, Professor McGonagall ignored it, and the deans of the major colleges also ignored it - their protests seemed to have fallen into silence, without even the slightest movement being made.

This is too outrageous, Professor William shouldn't be like this.

The busyness of the OWLs exam two years ago now seems like a dream - the professor seems to have completely used Professor Lu Ping's method to let the students practice practice again and again.

This is outrageous. According to the descriptions of fifth-year students, the theoretical parts they hear in class now are not even as many as the theories Snape taught in Divination...

"We have to find a way to change things, my brother."

Fred stood in front of the window, watching the last student step out of the castle and follow the professor away, "We have to do the right thing."

"You mean?"

"Yeah, that's it."

The two looked at each other, and then said the answer to the question at the same time.

It’s not too late for sixth and seventh grade students to do practical things, but it’s still important for fifth grade students to learn more theory to pass the exam—so, actual experience proves that fifth grade students are not qualified for practical combat alone.

——

"You mean to lay a trap to make the fifth grade look embarrassed?"

Everyone looked at the twins in surprise, with admiration in their eyes - regardless of whether this ruthless method was effective, the twins would definitely not get any good results.

"Yes, the fifth grade is almost over, and I have been taking practical classes for a while. Let the professor see how embarrassing it is to practice without theory, and he will naturally choose the previous method."

The professor warned them before, saying that without sufficient theoretical foundation, their inventions would eventually get stuck in knowledge and could easily cause danger.

Now, they want to return this sentence to the professor exactly as it is, so that he will not forget his original intention and let the students master more knowledge.

"We are sure, and we have taken care of everything this time, whether it is confinement or points deduction, anyone who is willing to join can help us - we have prepared many traps during this time..."

"It sounds like we haven't been deducted points..."

"Count me in, I've had some experience with evil curses recently..."

"I still have some big dung eggs over there."

…

Although time is tight, no one has the idea of ​​giving up.

First of all, it sounds interesting enough. If you miss it, you may not have another chance before graduation.

Secondly, the fifth grade period is indeed too boring, and everyone is a little bit disdainful...

"I'll call people from other colleges."

"Yes, but be quick - our traps must be set up before get out of class ends. The practical class is two consecutive classes, as you know..."

"no problem!"

It's really no problem - I don't know what the fifth grade has done recently. In less than half an hour, the twins' team has recruited more than a dozen people, and they are still willing to be detained together.

Those who do not share the confinement but are willing to help, then there is really no way to count them.

"First...we have to drag Filch...someone needs to start a fight, or be caught in a foul and taken to the office..."

The twins began to explain tactics - this was a lesson they had learned during their seven years at Hogwarts, and it was quite practical.

"Secondly, Filch's cat also had to be trapped in a way to prevent it from notifying Filch - this was easy. Hufflepuff's friends provided us with a large bag of fresh catnip, which was also magical. Added version…”

"Furthermore, we have to pay attention to Professor McGonagall. She has no classes today and is very likely to come out, so someone needs to risk confinement to ask questions related to transfiguration. It can't be too simple, and it can't be too difficult."

…

The twins explained the plan they had set in a confident manner, and then distributed the props.

"Be careful not to accidentally injure the younger students. We have one and only one goal!"

"Let those in the fifth grade who think they can do practical combat wake up from their sweet dreams. Practical combat without theory is really a mess! Let the professor understand that fifth grade students cannot be taught like this!"
