This is what Ravenclaw looks like..

Chapter 154: Why did the opening ceremony turn out like this?

Dumbledore left, but there were still two troublemakers at the table.

Well, yes, trouble.

The two of them came to school in a flying car, but ended up investigating for a long time and finding nothing - Ron was okay, as he didn't have the memory of the truth serum, but Harry was the big problem.

But fortunately, Andrew doesn't need to step in - after all, he doesn't know how to break the coma.

Professor McGonagall sighed and pointed her wand at the two of them.

The two men began to slowly wake up. Ron still looked a little confused, but Harry - his expression was not as hysterical as Andrew imagined. Instead, he looked at Ron nervously, then at Andrew, and only felt relieved when he saw Professor McGonagall.

?

Andrew glanced at Harry and remembered what Dumbledore said - don't talk to Harry...

Did those two taps of the wand seal away the memory, or erase it?

Is it to prevent Harry from being too sad? To prevent him from recalling that terrible memory? But how can this be stopped? Even if Andrew delays, in three days at most, the Ministry of Magic will explain the flying car in the sky and take Peter Pettigrew away. By then, the newspapers will definitely report it, and all the concealment will be ineffective.

They would even add some imaginary details and speculations to increase the reading volume, especially Rita - how would he adapt to it then?
But since Dumbledore said we don't want to talk about it, then we can only not talk about it.

What's more, it was Professor McGonagall who was leading the conversation.

"Potter, why didn't you owl the school?"

Harry lowered his head, which had been stretched out nervously.

"What about you, Weasley? Why don't you just stay where you are and wait for your family to come out?"

Ron's head also bowed heavily.

"You are only one step away from expulsion."

Professor McGonagall looked at the two of them, trying to keep her tone calm - but after what happened with Peter, this was obviously extremely difficult. Fortunately, both of them lowered their heads guiltily.

"Taylor, you deal with them. I'll go to the banquet first."

Obviously, what happened that night had given Professor McGonagall such a huge shock that she couldn't deal with Harry seriously. However, she didn't want to reveal her feelings, so she could only use the excuse of the banquet to hurriedly leave the office, leaving the mess to Andrew.

At least Andrew remained calm in the last incident, and assistants are supposed to help deal with these matters.

"Yes, Professor."

Andrew recovered a little - he didn't know the person involved, so the events of the evening didn't have such a huge impact on him.

He stared at the two people who were lowering their heads and not saying a word, and the expression on his face became restrained.

"Second year, casting a spell outside of school, exposing a flying car to muggles, trespassing at Hogwarts, vandalizing the greenhouse, first day of school."

He listed the two people's crimes one by one, making the two quails wish they could hide their heads in the ground.

"Thank the professor. She thought you could be saved when most people thought you should be expelled."

Andrew clearly heard the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.

"But, it's not like there's no punishment other than expulsion. Eat first. I need to think about it."

Andrew hasn't eaten anything from this afternoon until now because of these two biker gangs.

"Jim, could you bring me some food? Just ask the kitchen to get two more baked potatoes."

The elf in Professor McGonagall's office quickly prepared food for Andrew and handed two baked potatoes to each of them.

"Originally, Potter was an accomplice and could have gotten an extra sausage, but considering your good relationship, you should just share the good and bad times together."

His reputation was bound to plummet. If he didn't take the blame, who would? His reputation was going to be ruined by these two bastards anyway, so he might as well take revenge first.

The most important thing is not to let this become something they can brag about.

Andrew looked at Harry and Ron, lost in thought.

How can we achieve this goal?
Driving a flying car, coming to school, even visiting the office, and finally returning to the lounge safely?

Do not…

Even if Professor McGonagall didn't mind too much, he couldn't tolerate this kind of thing - if there were too many imitators, he would have to review the reports on detention!
"Car...car..."

Andrew couldn't even eat his meal because he was trying to figure out how to make the car look completely uncool. …

With…

Andrew nodded.

"You guys stay in the office first, I'll go ask for your opinions on punishment - of course, I welcome you to do something..."

He smiled at the two of them and quickly left Professor McGonagall's office.

About ten minutes later, he returned to Professor McGonagall's office and took out a very useful stick from a cabinet on the side.

'Is he going to hit us?'

Ron whispered to Harry.

"It's okay if I can get over it after a beating..."

But to their disappointment, Andrew started casting spells directly on the stick, and turned it into something very cool - but only cool for kids.

That's right, a little car that looks like a high-end children's toy.

Then, Andrew stuffed a seemingly unsophisticated gadget into the car.

Suddenly, a nursery rhyme came from the background, still that old-fashioned voice with a lot of noise - you could tell it was recorded live.

"What's dad's dad's name?"

"Dad's dad is called Grandpa."

...

"You two," Andrew said to Harry and Ron, pointing at the child model with two holes dug out of it, "take this thing and walk around the hall, and this matter will be over. No points will be deducted, and there will be no detention. Or you can choose to have Gryffindor deduct 150 points, with a notice?"

“I’d rather lose points…”

Ron grumbled quietly, and Harry nodded in silent approval—but this vicious Andrew actually wanted to report it!

If the rest of the students knew that they would rather have the house deduct points than take the punishment themselves - that would be the end of them.

"Can you make that sound stop?"

Harry asked tentatively.

"No, this is an alchemy tool I borrowed specifically."

Andrew was firm - this was a punishment for driving a flying car. If Dumbledore hadn't processed the memory, he might have been more relaxed, but since Dumbledore thought it was okay, he must make sure that they no longer thought it was cool to drive a flying car.

But...still...

"Forget it, you two, cover your faces..."

Andrew pulled out two more pieces of wood and turned them into masks and wigs. "Put them on. It's none of my business if they fall off."

People who are not from this college probably won’t be able to recognize it, and those who are thick-skinned can deny it, but everyone has to know about this ridiculous car - this is the bottom line.

"Concerned about it afterwards... Oh... Really..."

-

"I spent too long signing autographs in Hogsmeade... I didn't even get any letters from school... I completely forgot about the opening ceremony."

Lockhart hurried towards the school nervously - fortunately Hagrid was still on duty and let him in.

"Slow down, slow down, don't be too anxious..."

He stopped at the door of the auditorium.

What's with that noise inside?

"What's dad's dad's name?"

???

Is this what the school's opening song has become?
