Mysterious Journey
Chapter 1271 Ghosts and Gryffindor
Under the provocation and stimulation of Erina, a group of Ravenclaw parents glared at the faculty and staff before leaving the castle indignantly.
Apologizing was out of the question, especially admitting their mistakes to their children in front of so many students, which was more painful for most parents than being killed.
But on the other hand, under the gaze of "Professor Apocalyps," Erina, and several official professors and prefects, they couldn't draw their wands to protest.
Perhaps the existence of magic blurred the boundaries of power to some extent, but that was only within a certain range—obviously, both the old wizard and Erina could no longer be considered ordinary wizards in the realm of magical combat. Normal wizard duels were mostly limited to one-on-one, while this kind of local conflict, even warfare-level magic, was beyond the scope of normal duels.
"Just you wait, I'll file a complaint with the Ministry of Magic when I get back. Minister Cornelius Fudge will make a fair judgment."
Mrs. Eckemore said resentfully, raising her head and quickly leaving the Gryffindor common room.
As an employee of the Floo Network Office in the Ministry of Magic, she was well aware of the most correct way to handle the situation:
Leave the castle gracefully and promptly, and inform the Ministry of the "out of control" situation at Hogwarts, so that the Ministry could come forward to resolve it.
The Ministry of Magic would not sit idly by while Hogwarts faculty members humiliated adult wizards. When the Aurors arrived, the situation would inevitably be completely reversed.
Half an hour later, most of the Ravenclaw parents also left, leaving only Xenophilius and a few other parents who were willing to reconcile.
"Is this really okay, Miss Kaslana? The Ravenclaw parents are quite upset—"
Professor McGonagall looked at the backs of the departing adult wizards with a knowing smile, turning to Erina.
Dumbledore had mentioned in his message to her that if there were any disputes involving matters outside the school, it was best to let Erina handle them first.
At first, Professor McGonagall didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, judging from Hogwarts' past history, there weren't too many affairs involving disputes inside and outside the school.
However, she never expected that this suggestion would be put into use so quickly—and it seemed quite pertinent. This child was like a natural-born politician.
"As Head of Hogwarts, what I need to protect first and foremost is naturally the rights and interests of the student body. There is nothing worth thinking about or choosing."
Erina shrugged nonchalantly, turning her head to look at the group of Ravenclaw girls in the hallway, clutching their spellbooks nervously.
"Disperse. The student handbook will be updated with verification locks this weekend, so remember to lock your diaries then."
"As for the parents' side, when you have time tonight, you'd better write a letter home to explain..."
"Hogwarts is not against love, but hopes you will learn to protect yourselves."
Speaking of this, Erina's gaze shifted to the other end of Gryffindor, her eyebrows gently rising.
"On the other hand, the prefects and castle administration should also update the clear ban on 'on-campus sexual activity' and the corresponding penalties."
"If any of you are unable to rationally and properly manage certain parts of your bodies, I don't mind temporarily removing them for you, taking care of and educating them for a period of time."
"Of course, parents don't need to worry about the after-effects of the punishment—Hogwarts now has at least four intermediate and above healers. Basic deepening education will not leave any scars on the students' bodies. As for psychological trauma and shadows, we also have twenty-four-hour psychological counselors on standby to be responsible for counseling..."
Erina's eyes flickered, pausing meaningfully for half a second, revealing a lovely smile like an angel.
"Moaning Myrtle will be responsible for the girls, and Peeves will be responsible for the boys—"
"Whoo-hoo, you better keep your word! No professors or prefects to interfere!"
Before she could finish her sentence, Peeves suddenly emerged from the wall not far away.
Normally, Hogwarts prohibits ghosts from interfering with students too much. Peeves' pranks are often interrupted by professors halfway through.
But with "official permission," it was different. According to the content of Erina's previous promise, he could torment that little unlucky person to his heart's content during the "punishment period."
"Don't worry, the Kaslana family keeps its word—I guarantee it in the name of the Kaslana family."
Erina patted her flat chest, looking at Peeves with a sincere expression.
"You can even apply to mobilize the ghost patrol team to assist..."
Gryffindor is the most active and rebellious House among the four Houses.
It is difficult for the prefects and castle administrators to keep an eye on everyone, and on the other hand, they are also the most likely to cause trouble.
Perhaps Hogwarts was better a few years ago, but with the return of past graduates and the changes Erina had stirred up, the Gryffindor students' ability to cause trouble had also increased by more than one level—mobilizing the most troublesome ghosts to fight the most troublesome students was the only way.
Accompanying Erina's conversation with Peeves, the faces of the Gryffindor students who were watching the fun changed drastically.
