Chapter 144

"What is this? Are you researching the True Name Curse? Why should you let it show up on paper? Remus wondered about that.

"I want to make something," said James, "what do you think of me making Hogwarts a map?" ”

"That's good! But what does that have to do with your name? Sirius still didn't understand.

"If Hogwarts were a map, what would be the name of all the people at Hogwarts and where would they be on that map?" James' eyes sparkled, as if a fire had been ignited. Such a focused, excited expression and look in his eyes were a hundred times stronger than when he chased Gale in the first place to learn a stronger attack.

"This ...... It's kind of interesting. Lily nodded solemnly, affirming James' thoughts.

"It's not enough to be famous, because it can't move, can it? We should try this......" Ciris said, drawing his wand and casting a spell.

"I've tried this, but it doesn't work very well!" Instead of stopping Siris, James let the facts speak.

"So what?" Lily tried to cast a spell as well.

"Maybe that's better?" Remus also joined the discussion.

Gail withdrew from the coterie of four who had been hotly discussed, and returned to Severus to sit down.

"Aren't you involved?" Gale has always had a knack for these things, and is keen to make all sorts of weird inventions.

"Nope." Gail smiled and shook his head, "This is the glory of the 'Dao Raider'. "So there is no need for him to interfere, there is no need for him to force his own thoughts into it. He can support them as an academic advisor if they need to, but not to participate and take over.

Not so long ago, Gail found himself able to let go of most of his attachments. He was sure that Lily and the three boys would have a better future, and most of them would have a better future. Rather than sitting on the sidelines as an outsider, he is able to face most of the world's variables with a more open-minded attitude.

He does not hesitate to use his ability to help, but he will not insist that it is a responsibility that he must carry on his shoulders and resist on his back as he did in the past. This will not go against his original intention, and it will not be self-defeating because of his high self-esteem.

The Hogwarts Express carried the students back to school, and the little snakes, who had been relaxing for more than half a month, returned to the dire situation again. But no one complained more.

They're excellent, so these aren't nothing! Most Slytherins are self-hypnotizing.

And there are some people, although very few, but they have begun to become comfortable with such situations. Continuous exams make them no longer nervous and their brains blank when they sit in a simulated environment to take the exam again; The sea of questions tactic allows them to have all the theoretical knowledge at their fingertips; Repeated spell practice made them more accurate in using their magic power, and it seemed that even their magic power had become stronger, not to mention the success rate of greatly increasing it; The brainwashing of potions made the crucible explosion a thing of the past, and even Slughorn had to admit that he could barely see a T or D in class, and even an E was becoming less and less.

The facts are always more convincing. While a large part of the population is still unaware of these differences, it is clear that they are making progress.

"It can't go on like this!" Lily slapped the table and said to the three boys who were looking up at her, a little loud in the quiet of the library.

"What's wrong?" James looked up from the Hogwarts map he was drawing for the fifth time.

"Lily, sit down! Mrs. Pince is watching you! Siris said to Lily with a book over her face.

Lily was clearly aware of her gaffe as well. She smiled apologetically at Mrs. Pince and sat down with her neck bent, "I mean, the Slytherins are trying!" ”

"Isn't that great? There is much less friction between the colleges, and everyone seems to love learning a little more! ”

"It's not enough! Gale is the head of the Slytherin, and the Slytherins listen to what he says, but the Gryffindors are only starting to work a little harder because they are infected by the atmosphere! A little! Lily gestured to the tip of her little finger to illustrate how much this "slightly" was.

"So what?" James still doesn't quite understand.

"Merlin! We are prefects! This year is the year of O.W, LS and there are no final exams! Those Slytherins worked so hard that they would have left Gryffindor far behind! When the time comes, maybe Gryffindor will no longer be brave and fearless, but stupid! Lily lowered her voice, but anyone with ears could hear how excited she was.

"What then?" James couldn't imagine that horrible situation.

"Let's organize the learning too!" Siris and Remus said in unison, their tones categorical.

"Yes." Lily nodded, but felt that as a prefect, it was not enough for all the students in the same grade to join in willingly, "How about we start a challenge?" ”

"Challenge?" The three boys asked in unison.

Early the next morning, on the bulletin board in the Gryffindor common room, an impassioned battle letter took up the entire page, making it impossible for the lion cubs to ignore.

I have to say that teenagers are generally very competitive and easy to get enthusiastic. Nowhere is this more evident than in Gryffindor's lion cubs.

Throughout the breakfast, all the Gryffindors, not only the 5th and 7th graders who were examining this year, were enthusiastically discussing the matter, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a crowd.

As expected, most Gryffindors immediately felt that they couldn't let the Slytherins show off in this year's exams! But apparently, compared to the Slytherins, who had already formed a learning system and habits, they were almost six months late!

"We're no worse than those cold-blooded animals!" That night, the sixth-grade prefect clenched his fists and said, "We've got to get moving!" ”

"Oh!"

"Yes!"

"That's right!"

Such a response resounded in the common room.

"I have their full set of learning styles and exercises!" Lily didn't hesitate to pick it up, "As long as we work harder than them, we can catch up with the six-month gap!" ”

"We can also use those specially allocated classrooms! If they hold on, we'll call back! "A little bit of a little lion said.

"No, it's a waste of time to call back!" Siris quickly interjected. Their purpose is to motivate everyone to work hard to prepare for the exam, not to cause a large-scale fight!

"That's right, we can ask Professor McGonagall to increase the number of classrooms!"

"We're going to make those Slytherins lose on the exam!"

"For the glory of Gryffindor!"

"For the glory of Gryffindor!"

Because of their competitive spirit, the students of the two colleges began a competition based on the final score of the O/N exam.

"Has anything happened lately, Minerva? Why does your face look worried? Mrs. Hooch greeted Professor McGonagall with two brooms that needed to be trimmed.

"Good afternoon. Not much, it's just that the Gryffindors have been a little bit worrying me lately. ”

"The Gryffindors have been doing well lately, haven't they? Professor Flitwick said that the children are now very serious about learning and practicing, and Professor Sputlawney also feels that they are listening to the lectures much more seriously. "So what's wrong?

"Exactly. You know, they didn't care about anything until a few days ago, even in fifth and seventh grade in exam year. But now, they don't mess around in the hallways anymore, they go to the library, they ask me for empty classrooms, and they don't travel at night anymore! "What a horror thing it is! She's busy enough to deal with Hogwarts administration every day, and she has to think about why the little lions are so abnormal.

Mrs. Hodge couldn't answer this question. However, as Minerva said, it is a bit abnormal for the little lions to be in such a positive and hard-working state of study. "I'll keep an eye out for you, Minerva! So far, it doesn't hurt, does it? ”

The conversation was overheard by James, who was passing around the corner, who was handing over the tools he used to trim the broom, to Mrs. Hooch, and retold it to Lily, which made Lily blush.

"When did our normal state turn out to be a reluctance to study, to play in the hallways, to wander at night, and to stay away from the library, which is only the source? Is this what Gryffindor looks like? ”

When Lily said this, even James didn't seem to be a positive image. No, as a student, you can have a wide range of hobbies, lively or energetic, or secondary two, naughty, but you should never even care about exams! If this continues for a few more decades, will the Gryffindors still be Gryffindors?

In fact, James was very right. Gryffindor's passion is one of the virtues that people celebrate, but as arrogance and self-feeling take over, these virtues gradually lose their character.

More than a decade later, a dozen years after the original book, Harry gained the friendship of the Gryffindors. But because of small things, it was as if those friendships had never existed - Harry had to deal with things on his own that shouldn't have happened at his age.

Teenagers will be stubborn and biased, but they won't close their earbuds and hurt their friends! This is something that even the Slytherin vipers they don't like to look at will do. In fact, most Slytherins would never be broken by "distrust" and "low self-esteem" and "jealousy" if they had formed a friendship rather than a benefit.

"We think things too hard." Lily took a deep breath and said, "Isn't what we're doing to get things that aren't too much off track back?" ”

"We've gotten the Academy Cup in the past, it's just a few years later. I've read the school history, and we didn't just win it with Quidditch! "Siris has a fond memory of how he organized his archives.

"That's right, Academy Cup!" Lily was encouraged by what Siris had said.

Integrity, courage, and fearlessness are the main tone of Gryffindor! It will always be the main tone of Gryffindor! Lily is convinced.

Shortly after the animals shared Easter chocolate eggs, a batch of leaflets and pamphlets about various magical professions appeared on the desks of the four colleges, and the students were free to do so, and on the bulletin boards was a notice - employment counseling.

"All fifth-graders are required to attend a brief meeting in the first week of the summer semester to discuss the future with the Dean of the College
