Chapter 172

A great man once said that time is the most precious thing in the world, because it will never come back.

It is also the least valuable thing in the world, because it will always slip away quietly without you noticing.

Just like now, in a blink of an eye, a week of study time has come to an end.

This day, time came to Friday.

The little wizards of Hogwarts have become accustomed to the existence of morning and evening self-study during this period.

Except for the little lions who are still complaining.

Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin have all benefited from morning and evening self-study.

Moreover, the school points have increased very quickly.

In just one week, Gryffindor's school cup score has been at the bottom.

And the little badgers of Hufflepuff also found a very outrageous problem.

That is, most of their extra points are brought by first-year freshmen.

This made these little badgers who have always been indifferent to the world also have ideas.

Who doesn't want to bring glory to their own school?

And they also know that the progress of these little badgers is due to their morning and evening self-study with Slytherin.

Elvin taught them personally.

This made many little badgers think about it.

Especially one day, a third-year student was puzzled by a problem and happened to meet Elvin. He asked Elvin casually, and then Elvin helped him solve the problem with his unique understanding.

These little badgers became more active.

The first time they started to care about something was to study with Slytherin in the morning and evening.

Ask Elvin for knowledge.

In previous years, only two houses competed for the House Cup, Slytherin and Gryffindor.

Now, they don’t expect the House Cup, because Slytherin has Elvin, and they think they have no chance.

But they can compete for the second place.

Or, they can let Gryffindor be the fourth.

Hufflepuff has been the fourth forever, and they have been tired of it.

Therefore, some badgers have been thinking about whether to ask Professor Sprout to apply for a place in Slytherin's study room.

They are afraid that if they act too late, Slytherin's study room will be full.

Elvin didn't know this, he only knew that his reputation value had risen too fast during this period.

The Daily Prophet reported the battle between Hogwarts Slytherin prefects on Saturday for three consecutive days.

It can be said that the entire British magic world is watching this duel.

Whether it is a Slytherin student or not.

And Elvin's reputation value has broken through the 50,000 mark.

Now it is 51,000.

And this morning, Elvin was in class, but strangely found that his reputation value was growing at a terrifying speed.

It soon broke through the 100,000 mark and began to advance towards 150,000.

This scared Elvin, who was afraid that his system was broken.

Until noon before going to the auditorium for lunch, Elvin's reputation value had reached 135,000 points.

And it is still growing. Alvin estimates that if it continues at this rate, Alvin's reputation may exceed 200,000 by the evening.

The most important thing is that Alvin doesn't know where this reputation comes from.

When Alvin was eating the boiled cabbage that McGee spent almost a whole day making.

An owl fluttered its wings and came to the auditorium.

There was a package in its claws.

The other little wizards were a little surprised: "Why did the owl deliver something at this time? Today is not a day to collect things. Who is it for?"

Alvin was also a little curious, who broke the rules.

Hogwarts collects packages at a fixed time, otherwise an owl would fly in at any time, wouldn't it be a mess?

The next moment, the owl's claws loosened.

The package fell directly into Alvin's arms.

Alvin was stunned for a moment, it was bad, the person who didn't follow the rules was me.

The other little wizards also focused on the food in front of them.

It's Alvin, that's fine.

Not to mention the owl delivering the package, even if Dumbledore said that he would give the position of the headmaster to Erwin.

They would not... No, this is still surprising.

Draco, who was sitting next to Erwin, came over.

"Prefect, did you buy anything?"

Erwin was also very confused. What is this?

Was it sent by Old Tom?

It shouldn't be. If it was Old Tom, he should have contacted him with the purple lotus mark.

There is no need to send anything. Old Tom also knows the rules.

Erwin looked at the professor's seat. Sending a package at this time should be the professors' consent.

However, Erwin glanced over.

But he found that except Snape, all the professors were looking at him with a smile on their faces.

It seems that they are waiting for him to open the package.

Even Snape put down the fork in his hand.

There was a well-hidden expectation in the depths of his eyes.

Erwin was even more confused.

Professor McGonagall said: "Erwin, open it and take a look!"

Erwin nodded.

Could it be that this is a gift from the professors? Is his birthday coming up?

He himself doesn't know, his birthday should be in June.

Erwin opened the package with curiosity.

A magazine slid out directly.

Five big words on the cover: Transfiguration of the Day.

Professor McGonagall said: "Congratulations, Erwin, your paper has been published in Transfiguration Today, open it and take a look!"

Professor McGonagall said this.

All the little wizards were shocked.

They talked about it.

"Transfiguration Today? Oh my God!"

"Should I say it's Erwin's turn? This is the most authoritative magazine about Transfiguration in the magic world!"

"Is it Erwin's argument last time that Transfiguration has its own counter-curse?"

"Are we really in the same school? Why has Erwin started to publish papers in famous magazines, while we are still wondering if we can have chicken legs for lunch today!"

Erwin also instantly understood the reason for his skyrocketing reputation.

So that's what happened.

Erwin opened the front page of the magazine, and the first article he saw was about Erwin's paper.

And there was a comment below.

This argument has been certified by the Transfiguration Union, opening a new chapter in Transfiguration!

The little snakes were very excited.

"Prefect, you're in the magazine!"

Draco was shocked.

Erwin rolled his eyes.

He is not blind, nor can he not see.

Professor McGonagall stood up and said, "While everyone is here, let me make an announcement! Erwin's paper has been adopted by the Transfiguration Guild, and his views have opened a new chapter in Transfiguration! The Order of Merlin has decided to award Erwin the Second Class Merlin Knight Medal, and after tomorrow's prefect duel, the Daily Prophet will have a reporter come to interview Erwin!"
