Prefects were at the end of the Hogwarts' special management system. Only students above the fifth grade could take up the position.
As the name suggested, prefects were the highest authority of a grade in the school.
However, in Hogwarts, prefects had much more power. They were not just limited to managing students of the same grade.
Every school in Hogwarts would select a boy and a girl from the fifth grade to be the male and female prefects respectively. They would continue to hold this position in the sixth and seventh grades.
In other words, every school would have six prefects at the same time. There would be a total of 24 prefects in the school.
They would assist the professors in managing the students, maintaining order, passing on notices and activities in a timely manner, and organizing students to participate in them.
In other words, prefects were different from regular students and had become part of the school's management.
Prefects had the right to deduct points from students. Although the principals of each school would check on these deductions, they rarely did so.
Unless the students were very dissatisfied with the reason for deducting points and appealed to them, it was hard to say if they would succeed.
However, there was one thing for sure. Offending a prefect would not end well.
In Hogwarts, who had never broken the rules?
No one would want to have a person who could deduct points staring at them.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the little wizards would not want to offend the prefects. They had a lot of power.
Other than deducting points, prefects had many special privileges. For example, the prefect coach on the Hogwarts Express, the prefect's personal bathroom, and even the house-elf would provide special services for the prefects …
For those with ambition and a desire for power, the prefect meeting was the first step to building their own power.
They would make full use of this identity to influence students of the same grade and lower grades. This influence would still be effective even after they graduated from Hogwarts. Needless to say, the prefects had their own special groups.
In this aspect, the students of Slytherin had always done the best. They could make the most of this influence.
It was said that after the opening ceremony every year, the students of other schools would go back to sleep, but the students of Slytherin would all gather in the common room and let the new students elect the prefect for their age.
These prefects, who were not recognized by the school, were also known as hidden prefects. They were the managers of the students of Slytherin.
Above the prefects were the male and female student council presidents. This was also the highest position a student could hold.
The president of the Student Council was selected from all the students in the school. There was one male and one female, and the term was usually only one year. They were all students who were about to graduate from the seventh grade.
The president of the student council had the right to manage the prefects and even participate in the school's daily decision-making activities.
Every year the Hogwarts Board of Governors meets with the new Boys and Girls Presidents to listen to their suggestions about the school.
Generally speaking, the president of the student council was chosen from the class leader, but there were exceptions. Harry's father was an ordinary student who rose to become the president of the student council. In history, there were even cases where a little wizard who wasn't a 7th grade student became the president of the student council.
However, regardless of whether it was the Prefect or the President of the Student Council, they had to abide by one principle, and that was to choose the most outstanding students of the same grade and the whole school.
That was why everyone was surprised that Ron had become a prefect.
Apart from becoming a warrior last year, there weren't many noteworthy aspects of his daily performance at school.
As Fred had said, no one in their right mind would choose Ron to be the prefect.
From this, it could be seen that Dumbledore had really put a lot of thought into this!
"Yeah, our little Ron is still a warrior of the Hogwarts," Fred said disapprovingly.
The Top Three Hegemony Competition had become a joke, and the warrior that everyone envied was no longer worthy of praise.
"I'm guessing that those bizarre words must have dragged Harry down," George continued.
"Yeah!" Fred said slowly, looking at Harry who had yet to react. "Yeah, you've created too much trouble, bro. Heh, this is a good thing. At least one of you has been prioritized. "
"If we wait until next year, there won't be anyone else. Elwyn will definitely be the prefect of their age, and he might even become the president of the male student council."
Even so, both Fred and George glared at Ron harshly.
"Prefect, little Ronnie has become the prefect."
"Oh, Mom must be disgusting," George said with a sigh.
He stuffed the prefect badge into Ron's hand, as if he was afraid that it would taint him.
Ron still didn't say a word. He just took the badge and stared at it for a while, then passed it to Harry, as if he was silently asking Harry to help prove that the badge was genuine.
Harry took it and looked at it for a while. Gryffindor's lion was inlaid with a big letter "P".
On the first day he joined the Hogwarts, he had seen such a badge on Percy's chest.
The door was pushed open with a bang, and Hermione rushed into the room. Her face was flushed, and her hair was fluttering.
She was holding an envelope and the same badge in her hand.
"Elwyn, I …" She waved the envelope in her hand, and when she saw the badge in Harry's hand, she screamed, "You, you got it, Harry, I knew it! Me too, Harry, me too! "
"No!" Harry said quickly, shoving the badge back into Ron's hand, "It's Ron, not me."
"What … is it?"
"Ron is the prefect, not me," Harry said again.
"Ron?" Hermione said, her mouth agape. "But, are you sure? I mean … "
At this time, Ron turned to look at her with a provocative expression on his face. She blushed.
"It's my name on the letter," he said. "Is there a problem?"
"I …" Hermione said, as if she was completely confused, "I, okay, Ron, this is great, this is really …"
"I didn't expect it," George said, nodding.
"We all think so!" Fred said.
"No." Hermione said quickly, her face even redder than before, "No, no, Ron did a lot, he really …"
"Really great, Hermione and I both think so," Elwyn said, walking over to hold Hermione's hand.
In the slightly tense atmosphere, Hermione's little hand held Elwyn's tightly, showing her inner nervousness.
This was too embarrassing. Everyone thought that Harry would be the prefect.
Especially when Hermione barged in, it brought the incident to a climax, hurting Ron's feelings and self-esteem.
In fact, even he thought that Harry was more suitable to be the prefect, not him.
But this was not important, what was important was the result, he became the prefect …
