Chapter 109 Operation Filch
Mr. Filch was not a very qualified administrator - he had a habit of always suspecting students of doing something bad and then picking them up and sending them to do odd jobs.
Of course, the students at Hogwarts are worthy of such suspicion, and they did do it, which is something that must be explained.
Apart from this shortcoming, Mr. Filch has almost no shortcomings. He loves school, can effectively compile a list of troublemakers and actively develop lines to catch them, manages messy files in an orderly manner, and insists on studying loopholes in school rules every year to patch them. …
Although the students don't like this administrator, Andrew must say something fair - without Filch, the castle would have been in a state of disarray...
Think about it - the corridor was full of turd eggs thrown by Peeves or Gryffindor. The corridors are full of students casting spells and playing around. The walls and ceiling are full of undried paint and paint. Are you going to complain? , but was hit by magic flying from nowhere and sent directly to the hospital...
Compared to that situation, a fierce administrator who would not grant privileges suddenly became acceptable.
But the problem now is - there are really very few students in the castle who break the rules.
Before Dumbledore's secret books were unearthed, the library was attractive enough to put most students off the idea of pranks.
This left the toilet that Filch had specially left without a cleaner. This made Mr. Filch very worried. After all, he had forcibly retained this place from the house elves. If they were used to cleaning it, Telling them not to touch is a problem.
Andrew didn't know how to describe it for a while after reading that report. Fortunately, Huffman was there.
When Andrew was at a loss, Huffman came up with a little bad idea - anyway, Mrs. Pince complained that as the number of people in the library increased, undisciplined people were increasing, so she might as well agree to allow Mr. Filch to go to the library. The students who were kicked out of the dormitory were cured.
This list of suggested reports was put out separately for Professor McGonagall's approval - Andrew was not sure whether it would be approved when he left.
'There is a high probability of passing...but I can't share such interesting things...I still have a lot to learn. ’

'future…'
Harry looked up from the magazine - he had only taken a few bites of lunch before running back to read, and had not finished it until now.
'The future...Dumbledore protects the future? ’
‘Am I also the protected future? ’
‘What kind of future do I want to protect? ’
He was a little confused - if he was being protected, then what happened to him at his aunt's house...
But if he is not protected, why are people everywhere in the magic world caring about him? Moreover, Dumbledore protects the entire magical world, how dare he expect...
"Harry, have you finished reading?"
Ron's shout awakened Harry from his imagination - although the "Legends of Magic" magazine was very affordable compared to the Lockhart series, it was obviously impossible for Ron to spend his limited pocket money on it.
So the two bought it together, with Harry paying half the money to get the first reading rights, and Ron paying half the money to get the second reading rights and rental rights - this was a view that both of them felt was fair.
It is worth mentioning that this is the method Ron learned from the twins - although the payback will take a long time, it is worth looking forward to.
"I just finished reading it, here you go."
Harry handed the magazine to Ron and began to think again - the Easter holidays were coming and he would have to stay at school again.
'Will Ron stay in school this time? ’
'Does the library really have Dumbledore's secret books? Can I use that knowledge to master magic that even Hermione doesn't have? ’
‘Everyone is not practicing during this period. Will Malfoy in Slytherin have any bad ideas? ’
'No...Malfoy must have gone to the library to look for it! We can't let him take the lead! Harry, who was originally confused, suddenly became determined - anyone in Hogwarts can get it, except two people, whether it is Snape or Malfoy, if they get the book, Harry feels You will be disappointed!
"Ron, go to the library!"
Harry was determined.
"Would you like to go to the library to read magazines? It's not impossible..."
Ron muttered and started to pack his book bag - the library was better, he could find someone nearby to sell the magazine and rent it out after he finished reading.
The two of them packed up their things almost quickly and ran towards the library - the library was full every day these days, even on class days.
But there seemed to be some exceptions today - there were many sad-looking guys standing outside the library door, neither going in nor leaving, as if they were waiting for something.
Harry and Ron looked at each other and prepared to go in cautiously.
But at this moment, Mrs. Pince's familiar voice came from inside, "Get out!"
After that, there was a bunch of banging objects - years of experience in packing books made Mrs. Pince's improved levitation spell so proficient that she could control multiple objects to hit people at different speeds at one time.
"Oh, Harry, it's the little cake, no doubt a Hufflepuff student."
Ron made the decision without even seeing the badge - and he was right.
The unlucky Hufflepuff ran out with a small cake on his head, and murmured in a medium voice, "Oh, no, I didn't mean it, it was an accident, I'm just used to it... "
It wasn't until he was kicked out that he looked at his little cake with a regretful look on his face, hesitating in his eyes, and finally chose to use a wand to cut off a thin layer, and then——
"Serious violation in the library, bringing food in - scrubbing toilets!"
Filch appeared from nowhere, staring fiercely at the unfortunate guy.
"Just got blasted out!"
"Library rules are also school rules!"
Filch spoke firmly, "Name, college, grade...Stand here now, and then go to my office to report later!"
After saying that, Filch hid behind him - in the corner blocked by students.
While hiding, he also warned Harry and Ron, "You two - if you reveal anything when you go in, go together."
"mean…"
Ron murmured quietly, and Harry nodded in agreement.
"you…"
"Come and stand..."
"No one of you said anything!"
The Hufflepuff student's face was full of betrayal and despair, but he also understood that the way to report the news was blocked.
With a look of grief and anger on his face, he stopped peeling the half-peeled bread, stood in the crowd, stuffed the bread into his mouth, and bit it as hard as he would his classmates.
