The Pacifist Necromancer of Hogwarts

The next day it was another cloudy day. Outside the castle, the wind howled and blew the black lake into turbulent waves. The dark treetops in the Forbidden Forest rustled. Flower branches and grass blades were scattered along the road and on the grass. Owls flew under the light gray clouds, throwing newspapers and letters onto the long tables of various colleges. Everyone was so tired that they ate the students' cereal with their beaks stretched out.

But regardless of the weather, today is a happy day for some students in the Muggle Studies class. They finally ushered in their own practical activities.

What is this, Patricia? Gryffindor, who was sitting next to Patricia Stinson, swallowed the pumpkin pie in his mouth with difficulty and stretched his head to watch her take out a book from the parchment bag. Colorful magazines.

Oh, it's finally here! Stinson said, My cheat sheet. She opened the magazine and faced a lady wearing gold jewelry and a black evening gown.

Her friend looked at him curiously: Are you sure?

Probably. Stinson said, cautiously and quickly turning over a tall model with a cold expression, almost wrapped in denim. I specifically asked my grandma to buy the latest issue.

Because the students who had already participated in the practical activities spent at least a week bragging about how fun their trip was, the students knew early on that they would be matching themselves with Muggle clothing.

Students who scored high in the clothing matching test became popular, and some even earned pocket money. Some people took a different approach and went directly to the students in the previous group to ask for reference answers. Those photos stained with cat and dog hair and left at the entrance to Diagon Alley immediately became valuable first-hand information and were circulated among close classmates.

But even though the Weasley twins have proven that Afro hair is indeed an acceptable hairstyle for Muggles, not many people want to try this look.

While the Weasley brothers strongly recommended it (You don't have to worry about the professor forgetting you. Fred said sincerely), Cedric has revised the design plan for most of the third-year students for free. With his own kindness, Reconciliation disrupted the Muggle clothing design market at Hogwarts.

There are also many students like Stinson who are ready to directly adopt Muggle clothing. In addition to buying magazines, some people also ask their parents to go to the Muggle streets to see them and write letters telling them what Muggles are wearing.

'Everyone is dressed differently, and there is no pattern. But I looked carefully for a long time, and they all have buttons...' Anthony heard the student read, 'I also saw what you said. Clothes that are cut off at the waist, it seems that most Muggles wear this. Their robes usually only cover the waist, with some messy things underneath...' She shook the letter and rattled, He complained, It's of no use at all.

Those students who have Muggle-born roommates or good friends have much less to worry about. They either directly push their homework in front of the other party, or beg the other party to lend them clothes to look at.

…

When students are so well prepared, as a professor, you should create opportunities for them to show off. Otherwise, there will definitely be many people chattering in your ears, showing off the extracurricular knowledge they have learned.

On the way to the Muggle town, students kept asking Anthony for help in adding or subtracting details of their clothes for various reasons.

At first he would agree one by one and chat with the students. But after more than ten minutes of I heard that Muggles don't really wear printed purple ties with green belts. or Can the pants legs be a little bigger, Professor? I think they are called bell-bottoms, right?, Anthony decisively collected some leaves that had been blown down by the wind from the roadside and turned them into silver like 10 pennies. In addition to three pounds pocket money, he also gave each person three leaves.

After the students wrote their names on the leaves according to his request, he told the students that they could give the leaves to anyone except themselves based on their preference to express their appreciation for the other person's clothing matching.

You must give away the leaves before arriving at the entrance of the town at the latest. If by that time, the leaves in your hand have not been given out, not only will the leaves become invalid, but you will also lose one of the leaves sent to you by others. Anthony laughed. said, Yes, as so often happens in Muggle stories, this is magic with a time limit. So, ladies and gentlemen, take action.

Students holding silver leaves looked at each other blankly. Then, with almost no communication, a pair of friends standing together exchanged leaves in their hands and immediately completed the task. They looked at each other and laughed.

Wait a minute, let me think about how to prevent you from exchanging leaves. Anthony had to interrupt them quickly. He could see how the event could become more about finding a partner than finding an outfit you like.

One student held down his hat that was about to blow away and said loudly: Try to make the last leaf given invalid!

Ingenious solution, one point for Ravenclaw. But it's not fair, is it? Anthony said, Sorry, I think this is a problem caused by my temporary design activities.

After discussing the principles of this plan with his classmates - as long as the balance of exchange is broken, there will inevitably be winners and losers - another student bit his lower lip, strode to one of the people who had exchanged leaves, and gave one of his silver leaves It was also stuffed into his hand.

Huh? Why? I have no leaves. The Gryffindor boy blurted out, pinching the leaves in his hands at a loss and playing with them until they were wrinkled.

His friend quickly pushed him: Shut up!

At this time, cheers had already started. A few naughty students shouted: Because you are good-looking, you stupid guy!

The girl stuffing leaves had red cheeks and said calmly: It's not because of anything. Because I want to do Professor Anthony a favor and make this activity more interesting. Her friend squeezed her hand with all his strength. Even Anthony could see the white fingerprints.

Thank you, one point for Hufflepuff. Anthony smiled at her and clapped his hands, Okay, let's take a look at each other!

To Anthony's satisfaction, no one came to him to change his clothes anymore.

Inevitably, though, student voting is quite subjective. The student who received the highest number of votes was the most popular student present. Compared to the first place, the second place, which is quite decent and would even get lost next to a Muggle school, is actually the answer that surprises Anthony the most. A few pro-inclusive students even took the initiative to stuff a few leaves into his hood.

I especially like your outfit, they said seriously. It looks like an O.W.Ls certificate with an O on it.
