Mysterious Journey
Chapter 1252.6 "Furious" Gryffindor
Argus Filch said dryly, a malicious smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
"In fact, if the scope of statistics is slightly expanded, then perhaps you will have to spend all of this afternoon looking at the records."
"After all, in addition to violations and infractions, Hogwarts also keeps track of daily point deductions—on average, each Gryffindor student will have points deducted once a week."
Hogwarts' "Filch, Apostle of Cats," moistened his finger with saliva, flipping through the thick booklet in his hand, and looked up at the parents around him with varying expressions.
"Of course, Professor McGonagall will be responsible for explaining the point deductions in detail later. I'm mainly here to discuss disciplinary issues with you..."
Unlike his past powerless and pale roars, Filch, with the help of a certain lovely little angel, had mastered a new method of slaughter:
Big data simulation analysis, and a logically structured account of causes and consequences.
"The fatality rate of the Fang Frisbee is 17%, which means that, in the absence of adequate medical care, approximately one in five people will die."
"I don't think anyone wants their child to be stained with blood, or to die tragically in someone else's 'prank,' do they?"
"By the way, I confiscated a total of seven Fang Frisbees in the contraband seizures last year—"
Filch glanced at the booklet in front of him, gently pursed his slightly dry lips, and looked around at the parents, saying softly.
"And privately possessing a Fang Frisbee is just a relatively common disciplinary offense..."
"Breaking into the Forbidden Forest, armed brawls, damaging school buildings, staying out all night, casting spells in narrow areas such as corridors—"
"Obviously, many Gryffindor students do not have a clear and correct understanding of the serious consequences that these behaviors may lead to."
"The worst Hogwarts can do is expel you, but when serious incidents occur, the adjudicating party may include the Ministry of Magic and even the Wizengamot Wizarding Court, in addition to the school..."
Argus Filch's explanation was not long. Following the suggestion of a certain little angel, this time he controlled his emotions and the length of his "speech" very well.
Well-placed warnings of danger and a matter-of-factly cold attitude are often more likely to cause unease than a "raging incompetent" roar.
More importantly, most Gryffindor parents have never been exposed to this kind of procedural scientific analysis.
Data, analogies, case studies, simulations... and detailed legal bases.
These, combined with the disciplinary records in each parent's "magic book," instantly turned the indifference on everyone's faces into solemnity.
And Professor McGonagall's subsequent explanations about points gained and lost, as well as the score fluctuations and daily activities of Gryffindor students in the past year or two, made many parents' hearts sink.
"...Wait, why did Cormac have to engage in two duels on average every day during his final exams last year?!"
Mr. McLaggen frowned, suddenly noticing the abnormal data of his child.
You know, whether at Hogwarts or outside, wizard duels are not something pleasant.
This means that there are irreconcilable contradictions between the two dueling parties, and they have to use the most barbaric and violent way to solve the problem.
"Oh, that...I heard Percy mention that it seemed to be related to a challenge in the Defense Against the Dark Arts practical exam last year..."
Mr. Weasley leaned over to take a look and enthusiastically volunteered to help explain.
"I heard that in one challenge, students had to deal with random potion assessments, and some of the assessment props and answers came from the classroom assignments of other students in the House."
"Mr. McLaggen seems...uh, to have poisoned seven or eight teams with his own power. He just learned the Broad-Spectrum Antidote last year, so he was selected very often..."
"Antidote...poisoned—seven or eight teams—"
Mr. McLaggen's mouth twitched, and he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
He finally understood why McCork said the Potions professor was targeting him. If it were him, he would definitely deduct points to death!
Such a terrible potion level, where the antidote turned into poison, wasn't even directly confined until the end of the term... the Potions professor was still too gentle.
In fact, Cormac McLaggen's situation in Gryffindor was not outstanding, and even
Most Gryffindor boys had a much higher than average number of duels, and the reasons for the duels were even more bizarre, like a collection of absurd stories:
Such as "deliberately farting," "talking after eating durian," "stepping into the classroom with the left foot first," "his hair is provoking me"...
If they were not still at Hogwarts, many parents would even suspect whether their children were learning modern magic, or were sent to the ancient Roman magical duel arena thousands of years ago for further study, or were sent to the era of the First Wizarding War...
After all, the reasons and number of duels were too scary—this was no longer simply being active and lively.
