Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 51 Hogwarts in Chaos

In terms of academics, the students of the three houses are indeed not as good as those of Ravenclaw.

Hufflepuff's students quickly came to terms with reality and adopted a more relaxed approach to learning—if they couldn't keep up, so be it; as long as they didn't come in last place.

The methods used by Slytherin and Gryffindor students were somewhat extreme.
Starting in the second week, the snakes far surpassed their Gryffindor classmates in both the completion of their assignments and their performance in class.

But they soon discovered that even though they studied with all their might, they still couldn't seem to keep up with the 'nerds' of Eagle School.

So, starting from the second weekend, there were frequent incidents of Ravenclaw students being cursed and carried to the infirmary – which directly and effectively affected their learning efficiency.

Instead, Professor McGonagall was furious!
During her Transfiguration class that week, she solemnly warned all the Slytherin students that they were not allowed to lay a hand on students from other houses, and that anyone caught doing so would be put in solitary confinement!

However, her warnings had no effect.

Although most Slytherin students stopped after the first week, it wasn't just the Slytherin students who were taking action!

Although the number of attacks has decreased, they are still happening.

Snape was also rebuked by Professor McGonagall for this incident, who told him, "As the head of the house, you should keep your students in line," which infuriated him.

He had previously offended Professor McGonagall because of the Duel Club—even though he and Levi co-organized it, Professor McGonagall still said she would wait and see for a while.

As for what to observe, it wasn't explained clearly.

In the third week, a Gryffindor student was caught red-handed after casting a spell on a Ravenclaw student. The news spread throughout all four houses, and it is said that Professor McGonagall's expression at that moment was more than just anger—she deducted a full 30 points from her own house, dropping Gryffindor from first to second place in the House Cup.

Well, this is going to be interesting.

Having learned the truth and realizing they had been scapegoated all this time, the Slytherins no longer cared about targeting Eagle Union and directly clashed with the Gryffindor students. Every day, two students from each house were sent to the hospital, only to be quickly discharged.

This was also thanks to Livy, who taught them two practical and effective spells—the Obstacle Spell and the Swift Imprisonment Spell.

Now, apart from first-year students, almost every student is proficient in using these two spells—it has become completely unrealistic to even think about attacking others with those clumsy curses.

Every student knows the various uses of the Barrier Spell and can easily create barriers to block spells.

Nevertheless, Mrs. Pomfrey was furious.

She complained directly to Professor McGonagall, which infuriated her. Every day after class, Professor McGonagall personally patrolled all over the castle, and anyone caught would be confined for a month!
But problems continue to emerge.

First, the Ravenclaw students were also furious.

Slytherin has always been despicable. We can tolerate being targeted by them, but you Gryffindors, with your seemingly innocent faces, are doing the same thing?
Bring it on if you want! Who's afraid of who?!
It should be noted that they have always studied what Li Wei taught most diligently. In each class, Li Wei would transform into dark creatures for them to practice on, which made up for much of their lack of practical combat skills.

The reason I didn't fight back much before was simply because I didn't want to argue and hadn't broken free from my habitual mindset of being law-abiding.

Now, with a change of perspective, Professor Li Wei casually mentioned during class, "Actually, fighting wizards is also a great learning approach. You can also put what you've learned into practice in your daily lives, and you'll improve much faster."

Now things are really messed up. Starting from the third week of November, the whole Hogwarts is in chaos. Hermione and Cedric are so busy trying to keep the Polyjuice Potion brewing a secret that they've even had to deal with a few students that they've had no time to deal with the Basilisk.

Students no longer go out alone, and they are very careful even in the school corridors, paying special attention to corners.

When it's time for nighttime strolls, it's a scene of utter chaos!

Rumor has it that Mr. Filch, the caretaker, has been neglecting his patrols lately, rarely attending to nighttime patrols, and often just taking a quick stroll around the castle before heading back.

Hatred spread among the students, and by the end of the month, only two safe places remained at Hogwarts—where the professors were and the Great Hall.

As for the common lounge?
It has become unsafe ever since the Weasley twins led a dozen or so Gryffindors into the Slytherin common room last week.

To this day, they still don't know how the Gryffindor students opened the entrance to the common room.

Snape was furious about this. Seeing his students' disappointing performance, he gritted his teeth in anger and wished he could teach them how to fight during Potions class.

However, his teaching skills were indeed not very good, and it was impossible for him to teach only one house. Whenever he imparted relevant knowledge, there were always Gryffindor students listening together, and they listened very attentively.

Amidst the chaos, the locked-room incident seemed to be forgotten, and no further attacks on students occurred.

After confining more than a dozen students, Professor McGonagall realized with dismay that if things continued to develop this way, she might not even be able to find enough professors to punish and supervise these naughty students.

She had to put Snape's earlier suggestion back on the agenda—to establish a dueling club so that these little guys with pent-up energy could have a normal outlet for their frustrations.

By the time the monthly exams came at the end of the month, many students were no longer so concerned about the matter. Students from the three colleges fought fiercely, and almost all students in their fourth year and below inevitably got involved.

When December arrived and the first rays of winter sunlight shone into the castle, the students from the three colleges received an astonishing result.

The house with the highest average grades across the seven years was, surprisingly, the peaceful and unassuming Hufflepuff.
And the second place still belongs to Ravenclaw.

Gryffindor ranked third and Slytherin fourth – during this period, they were often outmaneuvered by Ravenclaw and Gryffindor's combined strength.

After all, while Gryffindor did indeed trick them, Slytherin students were still more disliked by Ravenclaw students.

They first joined forces to deal with the Slytherin students, and then resolved the 'internal conflict'.

In the abandoned washroom on the second floor of the castle, Hermione, looking rather tired, carefully divided the brewed Polyjuice Potion into three bottles. This month, she and Cedric had been extremely busy trying to keep the potion a secret, and their scheduled time had been much later than expected.

As for Harry and Ron, they were already fighting Malfoy so fiercely that they couldn't care less about anything else.

Is there still a chance to use this compound decoction?
