Chapter 22: Do You Think the School is Your Home?!

Speaking to the young wizards was a witch...

It was none other than Minerva McGonagall, the Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts.

Just now, she was impressed by the gray-haired boy who had just asked her a question. He seemed like he might cause some trouble at school...

It was well-known that mischievous children often ended up in Gryffindor.

And the Head of Gryffindor happened to be Minerva McGonagall herself. She made a mental note of the appearance of this gray-haired boy, knowing that dealing with him in school might pose a more challenging educational problem.

Unfortunately...

It wasn't just one troublemaker among the new students this time.

Soon, another young wizard raised a question, echoing the sentiments of two almost identical voices.

"Can we set traps at school?"

"Can we set traps at school?"

"...Why are there so many troublesome kids this year!"

Such an obvious question was definitely not possible!

"Of course... you cannot."

Minerva rejected the idea while scanning the room. She spotted two identical twins, both with striking red hair.

No need to think too much.

The red-haired ones were definitely from the Weasley family.

Minerva didn't need to ponder further; she knew that wizards from the Weasley family, without a doubt, would end up in her jurisdiction at Gryffindor House.

The only hope...

Perhaps the two twin wizards would be like their older brothers?

Whether it was Bill Weasley, who graduated two years ago, or Charlie Weasley in sixth year, or Percy Weasley in third year, they were all reliable students who made her job easier.

Clearly.

The twin brothers were quite different from their older brother.

"You can't, Professor..."

Fred Weasley flashed his eyes, glancing at his brother George. The twins raised their heads together, voicing their query in unison, "But we like to set all sorts of traps at home..."

"Do you think the school is your home?"

Minerva was infuriated by their audacity. After saying it, she immediately regretted it; was she just embarrassing herself?

They were just a bunch of kids...

Minerva couldn't help but spread her hands, explaining seriously, "The school is still the school, where you come to learn. I was just using an analogy... because you'll be spending much more time at school in the future than at home."

After saying that, Minerva quickly moved on from the topic. She didn't want to engage in a back-and-forth about a single statement, as it could easily be derailed by a group of mischievous kids.

"Alright, let's get back to business."

Minerva rubbed her forehead, then continued in a solemn tone, "Which house you're sorted into is very important because your actions at school will earn or lose points for your house. At the end of the year, the house with the most points will win the House Cup, which is the greatest honor for a house."

After speaking, Minerva waved her hand, quietly instructing, "Wait here for a moment, don't wander off. The sorting ceremony will begin shortly."

With that, she turned and walked into the Great Hall.

Minerva needed to confirm whether students from all houses and years were present before starting the sorting ceremony for the new students.

"What a shame..."

Wilson watched Minerva McGonagall leave and couldn't help but sigh. He looked at the Weasley twins and said to them, "I had a perfect excuse to avoid any school rules punishment, but it got ruined by someone else..."

"..."

Wait a minute...

The sorting hasn't even started yet...

And now you're already thinking about dodging school rules!

Cedric looked at his friend speechlessly, reaching out to pat Wilson's shoulder to console him. He also breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, at least we can study in peace now..."

"...What a shame."

Wilson was still regretting the language loophole he had caught from Minerva McGonagall, which was then disrupted by the Weasley twins.

Who knows...

What these two brothers were thinking...

However, at this moment, Fred Weasley and George Weasley, the twin brothers, seemed unconcerned about what had just happened.

The twin brothers didn't pay attention to the gaze of Miss McGonagall just now, unaware that they had caught the attention of the future Head of House.

Of course.

Neither the twin brothers nor Minerva knew that, in fact, they had just prevented a super big problem for Hogwarts.

Wilson observed the twin brothers, feeling like his future school life might encounter a nemesis, possibly delaying his reign over Hogwarts.

All he could do was hope...

That he could make reasonable use of them in the future!

Fred Weasley seemed to sense Wilson's gaze. He patted his brother George's shoulder, and George Weasley immediately understood his meaning.

The twin brothers both squinted their eyes at Wilson, as if they could see through him, saying, "Hey, Wilson, were you thinking the same thing as us just now?"

"..."

Wilson shook his head speechlessly.

Who thinks like these mischief-makers!

Just now, Wilson had finally caught a language loophole from Minerva McGonagall, setting up a table for a meal, only for the Weasley twins to flip it over!

And they still had the audacity to bring it up!

The twin brothers were oblivious to it all, starting to playfully interact with their classmates, their mischievous actions bringing laughter to those around them.

It seemed like no matter where they were...

The twin brothers always brought joy to those around them.

However, this behavior was clearly a nuisance in the eyes of the professors at Hogwarts. When Minerva returned and saw this scene, she could feel her eyelids twitching.

Minerva McGonagall, the Head of Gryffindor House, darkened her expression, her gaze quickly becoming stern, "Mr. Weasley, could you and your brother please behave for a moment?"

"..."

The twin brothers quickly wilted.

However, just as people thought they were feeling down, the two brothers slowly drooped their bodies down, their movements slow and steady, as if they wanted to squat down until they buried themselves into the floor...

"Phew..."

Minerva took a deep breath, calming herself down, and said in a deep voice, "All new students, follow me inside. The sorting ceremony is about to begin."

These twin brothers...

Would definitely cause quite a bit of trouble at school.

However, Minerva's gaze was drawn to the Weasley twins, and she completely forgot about the gray-haired boy who had spoken up first just now.

"Wilson, I'm still a bit nervous..."

Cedric followed closely beside his friend, speaking softly, "Will there be any problems during the sorting ceremony? What if I don't get sorted into Hufflepuff..."

"Don't worry, you'll be even more nervous in a moment."

Wilson kindly warned Cedric to prepare himself mentally.
