Near Ravenclaw Tower, the "Surrender Agreement" was being signed...

Hearing Professor Flitwick's words, the Gryffindor wizards looked even more embarrassed.

"Ladies? Each of them can take on two of us," Fred couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"We wanted to explain, but they didn't even give us a chance to speak," George nodded with lingering fear.

In fact, at the very beginning of the conflict, Gryffindor had a significant advantage.

Compared to the Ravenclaw students who disliked fighting, the more aggressive Gryffindor students with better athletic abilities had a stronger aura. They searched the Ravenclaw orchard in groups of three or five for "potato thieves," while also picking any fruits and vegetables that caught their eye.

However, as the number of fruits in the Ravenclaw orchard visibly decreased, and the environmental damage caused unintentionally during the spell battles with Roger Davies and others became increasingly apparent, the sanity points (sAn value) of the Ravenclaw girls began to empty.

"To maintain my figure, I only dare to eat two apples at a time, but you destroyed an entire apple tree!"

"So many oranges, I usually can't bear to eat too many of them, it's too much!"

"Waaah... my watermelon patch, so many were destroyed... you pay!"

"Sisters, teach these guys a lesson! They must pay for their actions!"

"Everyone come out, or there won't be any fruit to eat later!"

"Aaaah, who broke the peach tree I planted myself?! How dare you?!"

Women's emotions are among the easiest things in the world to influence. When a group of enraged girls gather, even a dragon has to make a detour. Mere lions can only be reduced to braised lion's heads.

Every house has its own core magic course, as evidenced by each Head of House.

Slytherin excels in Potions and History of Magic, Hufflepuff in Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures, Gryffindor in Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Ravenclaw naturally excels in Astronomy and Charms—which is also the most powerful practical course in terms of direct lethality and combat effectiveness.

On the other hand, the Gryffindor boys who eagerly rush to the Quidditch pitch with their brooms on Friday afternoons are mostly the underachieving male students... perhaps not terrible overall, but definitely not excellent.

Therefore, in this changing situation, facing a group of Ravenclaw witches with excellent Charms scores, who stormed out of their dormitories in casual clothes, George and Fred were left with the impression of various powerful spells flying everywhere, and...

That spell is so big, that spell is so white, eh, that spell is so...

Ah, I'm dead...

In short, surrounded by a group of angry women, the Gryffindor lions became as docile as kittens. Apart from occasionally interjecting a few complaints, they completely lacked the usual tough attitude they displayed when facing Slytherin House.

"You're saying you're here to seek justice? Just for... well, a potato?"

Glancing at the twins whose faces were swollen, the Ravenclaw prefect narrowed her eyes, pointed at the large potato Roger Davies was holding, then pointed around, and said softly with an unkind tone.

"So, shouldn't the damage to the Ravenclaw orchard also be calculated?"

Glurp~

George and Fred exchanged a look and swallowed at the same time.

"These fruit trees weren't all broken by us..."

"That's right, some of it was friendly fire..."

"Hmm?!" The surrounding Ravenclaw girls hummed in unison, turned their heads to look at the twins standing in the center of the crowd, and raised their eyebrows with various expressions—stare~

Feeling the invisible pressure from all around, George Weasley instantly shuddered and nudged his brother with his elbow.

Although George Weasley and Fred Weasley, as a wonderful duo, are usually mentioned together, and many people always subconsciously see them as identical mirror images.

But in reality, if you spend a little longer with them, you will find that there are differences between the twins. Most of their family and friends who live with them for a long time can tell the difference.

In general, George is gentler and more steady than Fred, while Fred takes his unruly personality to the extreme. For example, Fred is usually the first to speak when the twins appear, and George supplements Fred's words.

Another subtle difference is that George's survival instinct and ability to sense danger are slightly stronger than Fred's, especially in certain delicate situations... like now.

Obviously, the Ravenclaw fifth-year girl standing in front of them is a formidable presence.

This isn't just because of the prefect badge tilted at a forty-five-degree angle on her chest, or because she single-handedly defeated both of them—most importantly, George felt a terrifying aura from her similar to that of his mother and Ginny, a powerful force that could make people submit with ease.

"Fred, think of Mum... don't talk back," George muttered softly.

"George, are you a demon?!" Fred's face changed, and he instantly fell silent.

Women in this world are too terrifying, whether it's Mum, Ginny, or these ones outside, they are all like moving fire-breathing dragons, ready to devour you if you offend them even a little.

"Let's start by calculating the losses to the orchard, Professor, here are the results we've roughly compiled."

The Ravenclaw prefect glanced at George Weasley's small movements and the quiet Weasley twins, the corner of her mouth slightly raised, and she lowered her head to look at the parchment in her hand.

"Although we haven't completed the calculation of all the fruit losses, judging from the current situation, almost all of the orange trees planted on the outermost layer have been destroyed. Five apple trees are broken, six peach trees, half of the watermelon patch is destroyed, and although the vineyard wasn't directly affected, a quarter of the trellises have fallen..."

"We'll help rebuild the orchard," Percy Weasley swallowed and volunteered, "There's still time, and if all else fails, we can compensate you with potatoes..."

"There are only two days left. The planting cycle in the Ravenclaw vegetable garden is very short, and we must make up for all the losses as soon as possible. According to the current situation, the crops harvested can only last until the day after tomorrow night."

The Ravenclaw prefect shook her head, put her hands on her hips, and looked at Percy seriously.

"Weasley, I seriously doubt whether you understand what we are talking about—this land needs to be rebuilt, it needs people to maintain it, these are not compensations, these are things that must be done anyway. Also, we don't want potatoes, we want our orchard back."

Seeing the Ravenclaw prefect's expression, Percy Weasley subconsciously shrank back, just like the Weasley twins. He suddenly remembered his mother far away at the Burrow.

Although according to the division of responsibilities in the school, as the Gryffindor male prefect, he should negotiate and resolve these matters, he usually wins first and then comforts and persuades others not to be angry. This was indeed the first time he had experienced a negotiation where he had lost and was being chased for compensation.

More importantly, from the beginning, Professor McGonagall had been standing not far away with a grim face, arguing softly with Professor Flitwick and Professor Dumbledore—judging from the atmosphere of the professors' conversation, it was obvious that Gryffindor House was going to suffer a great loss this time.

A large deduction of points was definitely inevitable. In addition, they might also face double or even triple punishment: from Ravenclaw House, Hogwarts, and Professor McGonagall.

In this case, Percy Weasley quickly realized that the best way to respond to the other prefect's aggressive questioning was to not express any opinions, stand still, and accept everything.

Thinking this, Percy looked up at George and Fred standing not far from him.

Fred winked at him, and George twitched his lips into a wry smile, indicating that Percy should just let the girls do whatever they wanted, and that arguing with the Ravenclaw wizards was too foolish.

When a Gryffindor wizard disagrees with a Ravenclaw wizard, try not to win from a reasoning perspective. This is the experience summed up by countless predecessors at Hogwarts over the past thousand years.

This applies not only within the school, but also throughout the wizarding world. The professors who serve as the heads of each house are naturally no exception—on the other side, Professor Flitwick had obviously persuaded Professor McGonagall, and the atmosphere was no longer as stiff as before.

Of course, that was only for the Ravenclaw wizards. Whenever Professor McGonagall's gaze fell on the pile of Gryffindor wizards who had been caught causing trouble, the cold light flashing under her glasses was still frightening.

Undoubtedly, compared to the previous Slytherin-Hufflepuff brawl where each side was equally responsible, due to the actual losses of both sides and the outcome of the battle when they arrived on the scene, plus a little bit of female privilege, the professors quickly reached a consensus this time—let the Ravenclaw students handle it first.

In this way, except for the Ravenclaw wizards, everyone else in Gryffindor remained silent, quietly waiting for the final verdict. The handling method was quickly decided.

Roger Davies and the others who caused the conflict were each given detention and would have to work in the Gryffindor potato field from next week as an explanation to the Gryffindor students.

In addition, Ravenclaw House would have a cumulative deduction of one hundred points for their actions.

As for Gryffindor House, Percy Weasley and Professor McGonagall, and all the other Gryffindors who were not involved in the incident, left the field directly after the discussion and returned to the house common room to make a collective announcement and warning, and promised to allocate part of Gryffindor's potato production to Ravenclaw as compensation.

As for George, Fred, Ron and others who became "prisoners," they would have to stay in the Ravenclaw orchard to carry out restoration and maintenance work, and after the entire orchard was completely restored, they would have to continue to work here without pay for the rest of the semester as atonement.

Compared to Hufflepuff House, the wizards of the other three houses are not very good at planting crops, especially the sentimental and spacey Ravenclaw literary girls.

Now that they had this group of energetic, strong, and hard-working free Gryffindor labor, they naturally wanted to squeeze their value and labor as much as possible to help them complete all the tedious and time-consuming garden work.

In short, from now until the end of the semester, the free time of this group of Gryffindor lions "captured" by Ravenclaw House will be completely controlled by all the Ravenclaw girls—of course, the scope of their errands is limited to the work in the Ravenclaw orchard.

"Alright, get to work, gentlemen. Oh, and this lady."

The Ravenclaw prefect clapped her hands, glanced at Angelina in the crowd, paused slightly, and gave her orders in a very natural tone.

"Before lights out tonight, I hope to see all the branches and ruins cleaned up, and the vineyard, orchard, and watermelon patch replanted with seeds and saplings."

Although with the help of magic, completing this series of requirements isn't as complicated as imagined.

But considering that the Charms and Herbology grades of this group of Gryffindor wizards are generally low, it will take a lot of effort to complete these restoration tasks.

Of course, the Ravenclaw witches would not completely stand by and do nothing. After all, this is still the source of their own house's meals, and even without this free labor force, they would take the initiative to repair the orchard.

"She's terrible, George, like our mum!" Fred said.

"This is just the beginning, if we don't complete the task on time," George said.

"They will definitely kill us," the twins sighed and exclaimed.

"Hey, you two..."

Just then, the Ravenclaw prefect looked over as if sensing something and raised her eyebrows.

"No talking during work. The one with the swollen left cheek, go help that girl from your house plant trees over there."

The girl next to them? Fred Weasley turned his head, glanced at Angelina Johnson who was trying to repair an apple tree with a spell, smiled broadly, nodded happily to his twin brother, and took the initiative to walk over.

Hmm?! Seems like... they accidentally matched a couple of children together?

After pausing for a moment, and looking at Fred who was happily walking towards Angelina, the Ravenclaw prefect shook her head amusingly, turned her head to look at George Weasley who had been decisively abandoned by his brother, and raised her chin slightly.

"The one with the swollen right cheek, come with me. I need to take a census of the staff from Gryffindor here—from tomorrow, you have to sign in every day, and then provide me with a timetable of your classes for each year."

"I'm not called the one with the swollen right cheek, I'm called George, George Weasley. As for the other one, he's my twin brother, Fred Weasley, and the girl next to him is Angelina Johnson. Overbearing Ravenclaw peach (peach) miss."

George Weasley said slowly, while glancing at the shiny silver letter "p" on the girl's chest.

She's just a prefect, their family's bookworm Percy Weasley is one too, but only by comparing them did he realize that Percy was much better than the prefects from other houses, at least not so arrogant.

Peach Miss? The girl raised her eyebrows and looked down at the prefect badge on her chest, the corners of her mouth curving up.

Hmm... seems much better than Prefect.

"Okay, George. Anyway, you know all of these Gryffindors here, right?"

The Ravenclaw prefect shrugged, not caring about the teasing in his words. This kind of clever conversation might not be so pleasing in other houses, but it was quite interesting for Ravenclaw.

"Then let me introduce myself, I'm not Miss Peach either, Merel Streep, Ravenclaw female prefect, fifth grade—for the next semester, you all have to listen to our arrangements, so... let's start the census quickly."

Merel waved the parchment in her hand, which symbolized the contract of servitude, and tapped it lightly with her wand, and a line of beautiful writing slowly emerged.

[George Weasley – Gryffindor House] (Term: One Semester)

[Fred Weasley…]

[Angelina…]
