A day at Hogwarts

The announcement that Hogwarts would invite Muggle parents caused a stir. There was a lot of discussion among the students, and there was also great controversy outside the school.

The Minister of Magic came several times during this time, and owls could often be seen flying to the Headmaster's office.

The traditional power of "difference between witches and mums" was so strong that even Dumbledore had to make a compromise. Only parents of first and second grade students were invited to visit to facilitate the growth of young people, and they were not allowed to enter the common room.

Dumbledore was very cautious about his first parent visit and only invited two parents of Gryffindor students - Mr. Smith and Mr. Granger.

This is something that can't be helped. There is no room for any loss in the first event. You need to choose from the direct Gryffindors. Apart from these two, the Muggle parents Dumbledore is most familiar with is Petunia.

Hermione was on the verge of tears.

It is said that the parents will come to observe the class that day. She has been previewing the class for the past few days and even memorized the page numbers in the textbook.

Charles was very disappointed. Why didn't you ask Petunia to come? There was a Potions class that day. It would be so much fun if she came.

Time passed little by little regardless of Hermione's will, and the visiting parents finally arrived.

In the basement, Nearly Headless Nick and Fat Monk looked more serious than ever.

Nick said: "Peeves, today we have important guests invited by Dumbledore. You can't disturb them."

The fat monk said: "As long as you don't do any mischief today, you can do whatever you want for the next month."

Peeves was holding two cream cakes snatched from the kitchen. People who knew him well knew who he was going to slap in the face.

He said disdainfully: "No matter who you are, when you come to Hogwarts, you will see how powerful I am!"

At this time, Dumbledore's voice came from the hall to welcome the guests, and Peeves flew out with the cake.

"Welcome Mr. Smith and Mr. Granger to Hogwarts." Dumbledore shook hands with the guests. "Professor Caredi Bubbaji and I will show you around today."

Mr. Granger was very curious about everything here and a little nervous, but he forced himself to stay calm and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Professor Bubbaji. The professor felt that his palms were sweaty.

After the two briefly introduced themselves and greeted each other, Mr. Granger asked nervously: "What are the main topics studied in Muggle Studies?"

Professor Bubaji replied: "The course I teach is mainly to look at your world from the perspective of a wizard. If necessary, I can integrate it into your social life."

Mr. Granger breathed a sigh of relief. It was not a medical school kind of research. Dentists are also doctors.

Then Professor Bubbaji shook hands with Jack and joked: "Sorry, I'm taking you to visit Hogwarts today."

Dumbledore asked in surprise: "Do you know each other?"

Jack replied with a straight face: "I want to know more about you guys, and Professor Bubbaji also wants to know more about us, so Lupine introduced her to me. We chatted several times when Lupine took me to the Pig's Head Bar. .”

He thought it was Professor McGonagall who would show them around, but it turned out to be Professor Bubbaji, who looked very unhappy.

At this time, a burst of unbridled laughter came from a distance, and the sound became louder and louder.

Peeves flew from the basement with two pieces of cream cake, followed by the anxious Fat Friar and Nick, shouting at Peeves to stop causing trouble.

Mr. Granger had heard from Hermione about the ghosts in Hogwarts, and this was the first time he had seen them, especially since Nick's head was still hanging on his shoulders. He was both scared and curious.

Dumbledore was about to scold Peeves, but Peeves' laughter suddenly stopped after he flew closer. He looked at the two cakes in his hands, flew over and said to the guests: "Welcome to Hogwarts."

Mr. Granger carefully took the cake, but before he could say thanks, Peeves had slipped under the floor and escaped.

The Fat Friar and Nick ran faster than Peeves.

Jack said with a smile: "A very polite ghost."

Dumbledore and Professor Bubbaji had questions on their heads. What tricks did Peeves play? But there was nothing wrong with these two cakes. Did he learn it well?

In an empty room in the dungeon, Peeves, Fat Friar and Nick were shivering together.

Nick asked the fat monk: "Really...is it really him?"

The fat monk nodded vigorously: "It's him. He belongs to our Hufflepuff. Although his appearance has changed, he can be recognized by his eyes."

"Oh, I should have thought that such a day would come when I saw the ruby."

Peeves said: "It's been a hundred years, why is he back again? Is he going to kill people again?"

The fat monk said: "Probably not, there are no poachers outside, and the Fire Ash Snake Party has been killed by him long ago."

"He is a good boy in the castle. As long as he is not angered, he will not kill people randomly."

Nick said: "Let's stay here until he leaves and then go out."

Peeves was the first to nod.

On the other side, Jack and Mr. Granger followed Dumbledore and others to the Potions classroom in the basement. Charles and the others had their first Potions class this morning.

Dumbledore finally persuaded Snape to allow Muggle parents to visit, as long as they didn't move things around and didn't disturb the class.

Mr. Granger was very interested in potions. He had read Hermione's textbook before and had some ideas about the effects of some potions.

There were also Slytherin students in the classroom, who chose to protest by ignoring Muggles and pretending they didn't exist.

The same was true for Snape. It was student medicine time now. He walked among the students without even looking at the two parents.

However, he soon felt that the Muggle, who was about the same age as him, was looking at him, just like the Dark Lord looked at the Death Eaters in the past, trying to see through them.

The old man had a straight face and nodded from time to time while watching the students prepare the potions, as if he understood very well.

Snape felt very uncomfortable being stared at, and felt that he could just send people away with a few polite words.

After Dumbledore introduced the two parties, Jack pointed to the Slytherin student and said to Snape: "I think that student's cauldron is going to explode soon."

Snape turned around sharply and saw Malfoy holding a mortar and preparing to pour something directly into the cauldron.

"Idiot!" Snape grabbed Malfoy's hand, "Have you read the book and the operating procedures on the blackboard? Do you know what the consequences will be if you pour the fresh juice in without filtering it?!"

"Malfoy, Slytherin loses ten points because of you!"

Slytherin students often do not get points deducted for this kind of erroneous operation, but Malfoy's operation was discovered by "Muggle parents". If it were to be brought online, it would be a disgrace to all pure-blood wizards.

Snape returned to the back of the classroom with a cold face and asked Jack doubtfully: "Sir, do you know how to prepare potions?"

Dumbledore and the others were also very strange, but it was difficult to ask just now. They wanted to ask again after they left.

Jack smiled and pointed to the GIF flow chart hanging on the blackboard and said, "I saw it from there."

"A very good teaching method that allows students to intuitively understand the steps and mistakes of each step. As long as they are not too stupid, they can do it."

"Hmm... I feel like I can also make this kind of hemostatic agent."

Snape was told what he was most proud of. The flow chart on the blackboard was his proud work. He felt that when Professor Binns retired, his name would still be passed down.

Inexplicably, he felt a little fond of Jack. His expression softened a lot and he said, "Would you like to try it? I think the principal can help with some steps."

His plan was to give the Muggles a blow and let them understand from their failure that potions were not that simple.

Mr. Granger's eyes lit up, he glanced at his daughter's back, and decided to give it a try.

Dumbledore was very satisfied with Snape's attitude and decided to give him a larger year-end bonus this year.

Professor Bubaji helped get tools and raw materials from the shelves nearby and arranged them in the last row of the classroom.

Charles and Seamus were just in front of them. Seamus turned around and said hello. Charles had a black hair and was doing his own thing.

Jack was reminiscing about his school days. Mr. Granger looked at the textbook and flow chart and thought it was a bit like a chemical experiment. He murmured to Jack for a while, and then started to operate.

Snape was a little worried and came over from time to time to take a look, only to find that these two people were much better at operating than the students.

There was still half an hour before the end of get out of class, and the students brought their results to the podium for Snape to check.

Snape's face was very dark. He placed the hemostatic agent prepared by Jack and Mr. Granger on the podium. The students compared their potions, but none of them could be used.

"You..." Snape was furious, "You are actually... not even as good as two beginners. Today's homework is to write a five-page paper on parchment!"

The students didn't dare to show off their anger. Although the two guests had Dumbledore's help in casting spells, most of them were operated by them, and there were no mistakes in the entire process.

Snape said helplessly: "For preparing such a good potion, I can get extra points. I think it can be added to Gryffindor."

The rule that excellent works in Potions class can get bonus points has been passed down since the founding of the school. If the other party is not a student, then points will be given to the college where their child is.

At this time, Jack raised his hand like a student answering a question. After Snape nodded in surprise, he stood up and said, "Professor Snape, I implore you to add this extra point back to the child who made a mistake just now. Young people will always make mistakes." Yes, I don’t think it should be too harsh.”

At this moment, everyone from Dumbledore to Snape to all the students felt that today's way of getting up seemed wrong. The Muggle parents of Gryffindor House wanted to add points to Slytherin House. This kind of thing is better than Slytherin's. It's outrageous that the pet is not a basilisk but a slug.

Slytherin was originally depressed because Malfoy had just been deducted ten points, but he didn't expect that the points would be added back.

Charles turned his head and glanced at the Slytherin students, feeling that the old man's favorability in their hearts had increased a bit.
