Chapter 95 When did wizards start to value physical constitution?
The headmaster has disappeared again, and Vice Headmistress McGonagall has taken over all the affairs of the school. Of course, she didn't forget to bring Owen along, and the first thing Owen was responsible for was to move the dormitories!
The dormitories for Slytherin and Hufflepuff will be moved to the towers at the four corners of the castle, but it won't be a simple matter of moving them.
First, we need to check the environment of the new dormitory, and then plan the number of rooms according to the number of people. How to arrange these rooms is a science, and a lot of the work needs to be done by the house-elves. Right now, they are all busy in the kitchen and can't spare the time. They can only wait until the holiday.
Although they won't be able to move into the new dorms until next year, and even the seventh-grade students won't have the chance to live there, it doesn't dampen the students' enthusiasm. They go into the tower from time to time, and sometimes they run into Irving, who then offers a lot of opinions and suggestions.
Okay, then of course we'll keep it; if it's uncertain, we'll just laugh it off.
School life is actually quite boring. Apart from the newly enrolled first graders and the second graders who have just begun to explore, the students above the third grade have already explored the castle and its surroundings. Coupled with their daily studies, life becomes increasingly dull.
When people are bored, they will look for something to stimulate them, especially a group of students with excessive energy.
Owen has been here for seven years. Although he has spent some of those seven years elsewhere, it doesn't change the fact that he considers Hogwarts his second home.
Here you'll find a somewhat disobedient grandfather, a stern yet sentimental mother, a seemingly cold but warm-hearted uncle, aunts with diverse personalities who all deeply love their grandchildren, and a short but incredibly capable uncle.
Owen enjoyed all of this, so he didn't want the students to ruin these wonderful things with their excessive energy. Of course, Hogwarts also had its share of excitement every year, which became the students' topic of conversation.
But that wasn't enough; he wanted to use other methods to guide students to focus their energy on the right things.
Slytherins and Hufflepuffs were very excited, but Gryffindors and Ravenclaws were a little unhappy, especially the Gryffindor lion cubs. In their opinion, the excitement wasn't exciting without them, so they also started clamoring to move dormitories.
"Slytherin's dormitories are in the dungeons, which are now full of dark magic creatures. It's not safe to live there. Hufflepuffs live next to the kitchens, which hinders their expansion. So what are you doing here?"
At this moment, Owen sat in the Gryffindor common room, looking at a group of excited little lions, and calmly said, "I'm giving you a chance to find a reason to convince me. If you can't convince me, then I'll assume you're just making trouble, and Gryffindor will be subject to a total punishment for the next two years."
The common room fell silent immediately.
Many people only know how to complain about moving dormitories, but they don't know why they want to move, or even have a reason. They just have childish reasons like, "Others have moved, so why shouldn't we move?"
Owen waited for ten minutes, then waved his hand, and a magically formed plan appeared before everyone's eyes. He pointed to an open space behind the castle: "Here, I plan to build a magical fountain, and expand the surrounding area into a park-like learning space. In the near future, everyone can read and study in the park, or play chess and have fun."
His tone was light and cheerful, and the lion cubs looked quite focused, as if they could already see what the park would look like when it was completed.
"The initial leveling work will be done by Gryffindor. I require that you do not use magic throughout the entire process, and you can only use your physical strength to work. Also, the open space is a bit small, so it needs to be expanded. This is a long-term project, and all Gryffindors, regardless of gender, will participate, starting next year."
After saying that, Irving left, while the lion cubs remained silent.
What's going on?
After all that trouble, they didn't get a new dorm and instead got punished—a collective punishment for all Gryffindors, especially being forbidden from using magic and forced to use physical strength to level the ground and expand their territory.
Hermione sighed deeply, then rolled her eyes at the group of idiots before turning to rest.
Ravenclaw was in a similar situation. The hawks didn't give a reason for relocation either, so they were punished in the same way as Gryffindor, except that they weren't involved in leveling the land, but rather in preparing building materials, which meant moving wood from the Forbidden Forest.
Cut down the mature trees, straighten them, carry them back, and store them in the prepared place. Magic is not allowed throughout the entire process.
When the punishments for the two houses were announced after dinner, thunderous cheers erupted at the Slytherin and Hufflepuff long tables.
Because of this, Irving, with a dark expression, announced the same punishment for both departments, citing "mocking classmates" as the reason.
None of the professors uttered a sound; they all watched as Owen carried out everything. Of course, there was an exception: Professor Snape. He was unhappy with Owen's punishment of Slytherin because the pretext for the punishment was too hasty.
"Irving, I hope that in the future, you can use a better reason before imposing a punishment, instead of this hasty excuse."
Owen remained silent, only looking at him with a strange expression. To be honest, if he hadn't seen how this guy deducted points from Gryffindor in Potions class, he might have actually believed him.
Snape, a master of Legilimency, understood Owen's gaze. His face flushed slightly, a rare occurrence for him. In just one year since he last caused trouble, he had actually forgotten what he was like before. Truly—
"Owen, if your Potions class average isn't good this year, you're not going anywhere this vacation!"
He's panicking! He's panicking!
Owen covered his mouth and laughed. This wasn't an act; if he hadn't covered his mouth, he was afraid his laughter would shake the potions office to its core.
Snape's eyes widened immediately, but Owen was no longer afraid of him. Instead of stopping, he stepped forward and gave him a hug: "Uncle Snape, you're really cute. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Haven't you noticed that, apart from the Slytherins who insist on going for their morning runs, the students from the other houses are all a bit weak? We need to get them moving."
That's the truth, but Snape never thought about when wizards would need to improve their physical fitness.
When did it start?
As May arrived, Hogwarts became much quieter, because the final exams were just a month away. Many of the playful young wizards began to study seriously, while those who were already doing well in their studies prepared even more diligently, not to mention those who were preparing for their fifth year and the seventh year who were about to graduate.
Students from other grades will make way for these two grades in public resources, such as magic targets and potion practice rooms.
Irving also gave up a large portion of his secret room for students from both grades to practice before exams, and would occasionally give them pointers.
The most interesting thing is that, I don't know who, dug up the old devil's identity, and then—every day, countless little wizards would surround the old devil, not wanting anything else, just wanting to hear Dumbledore's stories from his youth.
