007. Prefect's duties, five Weasleys
To be honest, Scott didn't really want to mind the freshmen.
He was neither a professor nor a prefect, and it was not his job to deal with conflicts between students.
It's just that...... Now that everyone else hadn't gotten out of bed, he couldn't leave the new student here.
"Okay."
Scott walked over to the couch across from the freshman and sat down.
"What's your name, freshman?"
"Jacob." The boy sniffled, "Jacob Kent." ”
Scott nodded, "Okay, Jacob. I'm Scott Trollope in the fourth grade. ”
"Hello, Mr. Trollope." Jacob whispered.
Scott was not interested in the cause of the conflict between the freshmen, so he asked directly, "Jacob, why didn't you go to the prefect for help?" You should know at least two prefects. As is customary, after yesterday's dinner, it was the fifth grade prefects who were responsible for leading the new students to Ravenclawta. ”
Jacob sniffled loudly again and said vaguely, "It's Miss Taylor and Mr. Cooper...... But they all hate me...... I didn't dare to go to them......"
"Hate you?"
Scott realized that things might be more troublesome than he thought, and he looked Jacob in the eye and asked him, "Can you tell me what happened?" What did you do? Why did neither the freshmen nor the two prefects ...... Well, not friendly to you? ”
"I didn't! That's really not what I did! They didn't believe me! Jacob suddenly raised his voice and screamed.
"Stop!!"
Scott was so annoyed by his quarrel that he hurriedly stopped him.
Probably seeing Scott's bad face, Jacob immediately apologized in a low voice with a panicked face: "I'm sorry, Mr. Trollope, but ...... It's really not my ......."
"So what the hell is going on......"
Scott was about to ask what was going on, when he saw Peneno walking down the stairs of the girls' dormitory, so he quickly stopped asking and stood up and walked over.
"Good morning, Penelope."
"Oh, good morning, Scott." Penneno was a little surprised, "What's the matter?" ”
"Over there." Scott gestured to Jacob, who was still curled up on the couch, "Jacob Kent, freshman, he was kicked out of his dorm room by his roommates and spent the night in the common room, I think that's what the prefect has to deal with." ”
He couldn't wait to get it out there.
"Oh, Scott." Peneno smiled and said, "Maybe you can help this poor boy directly, I know you can handle it well." ”
"No, I'm not a prefect, it's not my duty." Scott immediately refused.
"Okay." Penneno shrugged his shoulders slightly, "Watching from the sidelines, it's very Ravenclaw, but it's ......"
She smiled teasingly.
"Maybe next year...... Professor Flitwick has always liked you, and he may choose you to be the new male prefect. ”
"Then let's talk about it next year."
Scott shrugged his shoulders as well and walked in front of Jacob with Peneno.
Jacob had already risen from the couch and looked at the two of them with some trepidation.
Scott said in as soft a tone as he could, "All right, Jacob. This is Peneno Crivat, a sixth-grader, and a Ravenclaw prefect. Don't worry, she'll help you. ”
"Miss Krivat." Jacob glanced at Penneno and quickly lowered his head.
"Hello, Jacob." Penneno smiled sappingly, "Let's go, take me to your bedroom." ”
"But ......"
Still a little apprehensive, Jacob looked at Scott with pleading eyes.
Unfortunately, Scott had no intention of continuing to participate in this matter, he only comforted the boy: "Go ahead, Jacob. Penneno is a prefect, and she speaks better than I do. ”
Penneno stood aside and smiled, thoughtful not to debunk Scott's words.
When Jacob heard Scott say this, he could only take Penneno to the male dormitory.
He couldn't help but look back several times on the way, but Scott was already sitting on the couch in front of the window and spreading out the book of "Standard Spell IV", not paying attention to his gaze.
Twenty minutes later, Scott closed the book, but Penneno had not yet come out of the boys' dormitory.
It seems that this matter is really a bit of trouble?
Scott just muttered, still unengaged, and walked out of the common room with his textbook and notebook under his arm.
Walking down the tower via a long spiral staircase, Scott spotted Percy Weasley hovering under the Ravenclaw Tower.
"Good morning, Weasley." Scott took the initiative to say hello, "Waiting for Peneno?" ”
"Yes, good morning, Trollope."
Percy Weasley immediately stopped wandering and straightened up. It's just that his face is a little red, and the freckles on his face are more obvious.
Scott immediately understood why Penneno had gotten up so early, but he wasn't sorry for delaying the date.
After all, that's really the duty of a prefect, isn't it?
But......
"You're going to have to wait, Weasley."
He could casually explain Penneno's lateness.
"Unfortunately, something happened...... he didn't want to tell Gryffindor about Ravenclaw, so he vaguely said, "Anyway...... Peneno needs to be dealt with, she's busy right now. ”
"Oh, that's okay, of course the prefect needs to do his duty." Percy Weasley apparently accepted this well, "Thank you for telling me, Trollope. ”
Bidding farewell to Percy Weasley, Scott left Ravenclaw Tower and walked across the long elevated stone bridge towards the auditorium across the cliff.
It was close to breakfast time, and some students were leaving their common rooms, and Hogwarts Castle was waking up in the morning light.
"Good morning, Scott."
In the foyer of the auditorium, two overlapping voices suddenly greeted Scott.
"Good morning, Weasleys."
Scott smiled more naturally at the red-haired Weasley twins than with their older brother, Percy Weasley.
"Oh Merlin's stinky socks!"
"I've known each other for three years!"
"Scott actually called us Weasleys!"
"Maybe he didn't know that our mom and dad also gave us names!"
Fred and George put their hands on Scott's shoulders and complained one after the other.
"I bet, George, he called Percy Weasley when he spoke to him just now." Fred held up the monocular in his other hand.
"It's clear that Fred, Mr. Trollope has put us on the same level as Percy in his relationships!" George said indignantly.
Both of them yelled into Scott's ear at the same time, "This is an insult to us!" ”
"Okay, I'm sorry." Scott hurriedly surrendered, "Forgive me, Fred and George, I ran into three Weasleys in quick succession. ”
"Unfortunately, Mr. Trollope." George said.
Fred squeezed his eyes, "This year our little sister is also enrolled. ”
George raised an eyebrow, "Plus our stupid little brother." ”
The two finally concluded in unison, "There are now five Weasleys in Gryffindor. ”
Scott couldn't help but laugh a few times, "That's a good thing I'm not at Gryffindor." ”
"It's sad, Professor McGonagall's proudest student said." Fred let out a loud "sob".
George also wiped his "tears", "Merlin, Professor McGonagall obviously likes him so much. ”
