016 Student Council Presidents

The morning after Harry arrived at the mansion, Lawrence and the twins walked into the kitchen, they were the first to enter the kitchen, Sirius and Mrs. Weasley were talking politely, apparently still haunted by the events of last night,

"Molly, I've left the kitsune removal potion at the living room door," Sirius said, and Lawrence noticed him glancing at the twins as they walked into the kitchen, "but I don't know why there were two cans missing, maybe Kreacher took them?" He's been enjoying this kind of thing lately."

"Thank you very much for your help, Sirius," Mrs. Weasley replied quickly, "and I might have to ask you for a favor wait, you know, there's something in the living room desk."

"I'll check it out later." Sirius replied, "Thank you for your breakfast."

"I'll go to the living room to check the number of foxes, and hopefully there's enough potionβ€”" Mrs. Weasley turned to Lawrence and the twins, who had just sat down, and ordered, "Wake them up before they get up, Harry."

"Mom must be very curious, why is the fox behind the little half of the curtain gone." After Mrs. Weasley walked out of the kitchen, Fred said this to Lawrence,

"We snuck into the living room for days on end, grabbing a few to use as experimental material." George explained,

"I didn't expect that just last time, they seemed to recognize us and attacked us like crazy, so we seemed to have accidentally cleared the small half of the curtains." Fred said,

"I also got some eggs, which is a windfall." George said with gusto, Sirius raised an eyebrow, not surprised by the incident, Hermione and Ginny yawned and sat down across from them, and after a while, Mrs. Weasley returned to the kitchen,

"The fox's parasitism is not as bad as expected," Mrs. Weasley announced, "Hermione, Ginny, you come to the living room to help me, Georgeβ€”you go and wake Harry and Ron and let them come to the living room after breakfast."

They made their way to the third floor, and Lawrence noticed that the portrait that had been placed outside the stairwell had been moved to Harry and Ron's room.

After waking Harry and Ron up, Lawrence and the twins continued upstairs, because it was unknown whether it was intentional or not, Mrs. Weasley had just not told them to help in the living room.

"Mom seems to be a little embarrassed by you, too." George guessed,

"She probably didn't think you'd say something like, 'So I can complain.'" Fred said,

"I know they have their opinions, and I can understand that," Lawrence said, "but it's not a contradiction β€” because I really want to complain."

"But that's okay so we don't have to do the boring cleaning." George patted Lawrence on the shoulder, "Thanks to you."

"You didn't think it was boring cleaning when you went to grab the lab materials, did you?" Lawrence quipped, "Mrs. Weasley is afraid that you will help more and more."

"It makes so much sense." Fred exclaimed, "If the professors of the school think like this, who will punish us for labor service?"

Mrs. Weasley really didn't seem to have any intention of letting them join in the clean-up today, and even the lunch sandwiches were delivered to the fourth floor.

It took them five days to clean the living room, and from the complaints of the other cleaners, it was better to fight the house than to clean the house, but Mrs. Weasley still didn't let Lawrence and the twins go downstairs to help, but some members of the Order of the Phoenix who occasionally appeared at noon would join in the cleaning.

Like Tonks and Harry working together against a brutal demon, Remus 'repairing' an old clock that spits parts at people, and even Mundungus saving Ron's life from an old purple robe, which seems to have slightly reversed his bad impression of Mrs. Weasley's mind,

And as the day of the hearing drew closer, and although Harry refused to mention it, the anxiety and tiredness on his face were not as well concealed as he had imagined, and on Wednesday night, the night before he went to the Ministry of Magic for the hearing, he and Mrs. Weasley finally talked about it

"I've ironed your best outfit, Harry," Mrs. Weasley said softly, "First impressions matter."

"How am I going to get there?" Harry tried his best to pretend that nothing had happened,

"Arthur will take you with him when he goes to work." Mrs. Weasley replied, and Mr. Weasley smiled encouragingly at Harry,

"You can stay in my office and wait until the hearing begins." Mr. Weasley said,

"Sirius can't go with you, Harry." Mrs. Weasley said to Harry, who was looking at Sirius, "Professor Dumbledore thinksβ€”"

"He doesn't think it's time for us to stand on his side." Sirius gritted his teeth and said, "I don't see what this has to do with sending my godson to the Ministry of Magic?"

"Professor Dumbledore is usually right." Mrs. Weasley shouted, Sirius shrugged and didn't respond, Harry lowered his head and looked at the plate,

Lawrence didn't pay much attention to their conversation, in fact, he was a little listless these days, because Fleur had been on a mission for the Order of the Phoenix for the past few days and had not come to the old mansion.

On the day of the hearing, when he woke up in the morning, Harry and Mr. Weasley had already gone to the Ministry of Magic, and at noon, Mr. Weasley took Harry back to the Black family's old mansion, and from the smiles on their faces, Harry was cleared of all charges.

Mr. Weasley stopped the cheering twins and Ginny as he spoke to Sirius,

"Lucius. Malfoy meets with Fudge on the ninth floor." Mr. Weasley said,

"Are you kidding?" Sirius jumped up from his rocking chair,

"I think Fudge will welcome him into the minister's office," Mr. Weasley said, "help me get the news to Dumbledore."

Mr. Weasley departed, to dispose of a cursed Muggle toilet, and Mrs. Weasley stopped the noisy twins and Ginny again, and placed the roast chicken for lunch in front of Harry.

This year's Hogwarts notification letter was much later than usual, and this time the letter was different from the previous ones, Lawrence received a special letter,

Dear Lawrence. Mr. Rowander,

Congratulations on being chosen as the President of the Male Student Council at Hogwarts, and your partner is Rose from Slytherin House. Selwyn, you must work with your partners to lead the prefects and the students of Hogwarts, as you have done with the past Presidents of the Student Council,

Your first job is on September 1st, in the Prefect's box on the Hogwarts trains, so please arrange work and maintain order on the Hogwarts trains. οΌ‰

In addition to that, one of your main tasks this year is to prepare for the 7th grade prom, where you and your partner will have to dance.

Your sincerely, Albus. Dumbledore

Lawrence raised his eyebrows, and then touched, the Weasley twin brothers appeared next to Lawrence left and right, Fred took the letter and read it out loud, George took the envelope and poured out the student council president badge inside,

"We guessed it had to be you." Fred smacked his lips with a tsk,

"I'll bet on a Garehn, the prefects of the fifth year are Harry and Hermione." George preemptively said,

"It's not about winning firstβ€”" Lawrence laughed, "I'm betting on Harry and Hermione, one Galleon, too."

"I'm betting to you I'm crazy." Fred spread his hands, and the game went aside, and the three of them disappeared from Lawrence's room in a tacit manner, and they moved downstairs to Harry and Ron's room, and then their cries of disbelief drowned out Ron's grumbling complaints.
