Every night, Harry had to go to Umrich's place to be grounded. This left him with no time to finish his homework.
Because it was Year 2000, the fifth-graders had a lot more homework this year. This was reflected in the first week of school.
Snape's paper on the characteristics of moonstone and its use in medicine was enough to make people choke. Needless to say, there was Professor Binns' paper on the war of the giants, Umrich's paper on the reasons for a non-offensive response to magical attacks, Professor Flitwick's request to design a dispelling spell, Professor Meg's disappearing spell, the sketch of the bowtruckle, Professor Trelawney's record of her dreams every night, Professor Sprout's analysis of the toxicity of herbs...
These homework piled up like a mountain. It was a disaster.
Fred and George had said that this year would be tough for the O.W., and it seemed that it was true.
The fifth-graders were all complaining. Even Hermione was having a hard time. She spent more time in the library than usual.
Not to mention Harry, who had been grounded by Umrich. This week, he dragged his tired body back to the Gryffindor common room in the wee hours of the morning. Although he was exhausted, he could not go to bed. Instead, he opened his book and started to do his homework.
On Tuesday, he did Professor Binns, Professor Flitwick, and Professor Trelawney's homework.
On Wednesday, because the moonstone paper that Snape had assigned was due on Thursday, Harry had to work until three in the morning.
In the end, he had no idea what he was writing. He could only mechanically copy the words from the book.
He knew that his writing was terrible, but there was nothing he could do.
He had to hand in something, or he would be grounded by Snape.
Then, he hurriedly answered a few questions that Professor Meg had given them. He also put together some things from the bowtruckle's body to deal with Professor Grapeland. After that, he staggered to bed.
Harry did not even take off his clothes. He collapsed on the quilt and immediately fell asleep.
It was not hard to imagine that he could pass out at any time the next day.
Just as tired and drowsy as Harry was Ron. He was going to participate in the selection of the Gryffindor goalkeeper, so he practiced every night.
In order not to be a joke to Fred and George, he usually waited until everyone was asleep before he sneaked out.
Ron did not want anyone to know, but he could not hide it from Harry and Elwyn, who slept later and later.
There was not much homework for the fourth-graders, but Elwyn had a lot to study.
There was not that much homework for fourth-graders, but there was also a lot for them to study. He had also booked time for the weekend. Planet Six would take the freshmen to familiarize themselves with the campus, and on Sunday, he would help Hermione and the others practice magic and improve their strength.
Therefore, after Ron's first practice, they knew what he was doing sneakily in the corridor with a broom.
Nobody laughed at him. Elwyn and Harry both encouraged Ron to participate in the selection.
Nobody laughed at him. Elwyn and Harry both encouraged Ron to participate in the selection.
Elwyn also helped him cast a spell on the ghost balls so that they kept flying at him.
Maybe because the spell was too powerful, Hermione knew that Ron was secretly practicing the broom the next day, because his face was covered in bruises that could not be covered at all. They were all traces of being hit by the ghost balls.
Also, Elwyn promised Ron that he would make the first broom before Planet Five.
Now that the main part was finished, the rest of the assembly was left to Hermione and Ginny. Corin also joined in with great interest.
Traditional flying brooms had the habit of naming them after stars to express their unimaginable speed.
After some discussion, they decided to name the new flying broomstick "Star Taker".
At the moment, the Star Taker was only a test product, but its performance was already exciting.
It was also worth mentioning that Elwyn's letter asking for Lavier's help had also been mailed. When he went to the school's owl room early in the morning to choose an owl to go to Egypt, Filch, the caretaker, followed closely behind him, huffing and puffing.
His sunken cheeks, which were crisscrossed with veins, were purplish red, and the flesh on his chin was trembling. His sparse white hair was messy. He had obviously run all the way here to intercept the letter that Elwyn was going to mail.
The reason Filch gave was laughable. He had received information that Elwyn was going to order a large number of dung eggs.
He gritted his teeth smugly and asked Elwyn to hand over the letter so that he could check it.
Elwyn ignored him and let the brown owl leave in front of Filch.
"If you can't hand it over, it's already gone!" he said calmly, watching the owl fly further and further away.
"You, you, you..." Filch said, his face contorted with anger. "How dare you let the owl leave?!"
"Because your information is inaccurate. I didn't order a dung egg. This is just my personal letter. Hogwarts has no rules. The castle caretaker has the right to check a student's personal letter," Elwyn said.
"Nonsense. That letter is proof that you ordered a dung egg. I have my own information source," Filch said.
"I think that as the president of the male student council, I can guarantee that I won't order those things."
'I'll tell the professor about it, and if I smell a big dung egg-- 'Filch finally backed down, and went to the cellar.
Madame Dolores glanced at him, then at the owls with a lingering look.
Filch was undoubtedly on Umrich's side. This was just one of the many crazy changes that Hogwarts was making.
After the incident with the basilisk, Filch had been on good terms with Iven.
On some small matters, he would turn a blind eye, but at the beginning of this semester, he was completely on the opposite side of Elwyn and the others.
It must be Umrich who asked him to monitor Elwyn and the others. Checking their personal letters, there was really no bottom line!
They were still somewhat covert and did not directly check, but it would not be long before they would directly use magic to intercept the owls in the air. The mad-eyed man's hint was right. The Hogwarts mail system was now under the surveillance of the Ministry of Magic. They hoped to get information about the Order of the Phoenix from Elwyn and Harry.
Do not write to the members of the Order of the Phoenix and try not to contact them. This was something that must be paid attention to.
