The Admiral of Hogwarts

For Hugo, he had always had a soft spot for rainy days. Otherwise, in his previous life, he wouldn't have chosen a rainy day to go to the movies.

Although he was unfortunately hit by a car and brought to this world, it didn't change his inherent love for gloomy weather.

Especially when reading in the library in this kind of weather, Hugo felt that listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the window made it easier to enter a state of learning.

However, even with such wind and rain, Hugo could occasionally see the red figures of the Gryffindor team flying in the rain.

Of course, in this kind of weather, Hugo and the others also visited Hagrid a few times. Because Hood was mainly handling the book publishing, they needed to pass on some of the readers' letters to Hagrid.

Although not many people bought the book due to its specialized nature, so much so that there might not even be one reader's letter a week, Hagrid seemed particularly happy after receiving the letters.

Hugo even saw him braving the heavy rain to go to the library to find books about grammar several times. After asking, he learned that Hagrid felt he should reply to those readers.

But because he wasn't well-educated, he didn't know how to write when he picked up a pen, so he came to the library specifically to find books that could improve his writing skills.

After learning that Hagrid wanted to improve his writing skills, Hermione enthusiastically pulled Hugo along to find an empty classroom to tutor him. In addition, she also had her parents send them the grammar books they had bought when they were in elementary school.

It must be said that the wizarding world has many problems in education. At least for those students who grew up in the wizarding world, their grammar, mathematics, and other courses all came from the teaching of their parents.

Indeed, some parents are quite good and teach capable children. But most parents have neither the ability nor the time to teach their children well.

This leads to Hogwarts students having varying degrees of mastery of these basic skills. Many students, especially lower-grade students, submit essays that are full of typos, making it difficult to understand what the essay is about after reading it.

For example, after working together for a while, Professor McGonagall confidently handed over the task of grading Transfiguration homework for all grades except the fifth and seventh to Hugo.

And since then, Hugo has been complaining in the Themis network about the extremely坑爹preschool education in the magic world, to the point that she needs to spend a lot of time correcting various grammatical errors for those students.

Fortunately, in terms of grammar learning, Hagrid, who is over sixty years old, learns better than those students. After all, Hagrid had been secretly studying this aspect for a long time last year in order to write that book well.

So after receiving the professional textbooks that Hugo and Hermione used when they were young and getting their help, Hagrid can be said to have made rapid progress in this area.

In less than a month, Hagrid had made great progress. Although his level in this area was still slightly lacking, at least he wouldn't be embarrassed when replying to readers.

Hagrid's achievements in this area are naturally a good thing, but unfortunately, the weather is still as bad as ever.

The continuous rain caused the lake to rise, the flowerbeds were full of mud, and the entire playground became no different from a swamp. The only thing to be thankful for was that Hagrid's pumpkins had successfully grown, each one swelling to the size of a shed.

Finally, on the Saturday afternoon before Halloween, Hugo saw Hagrid stepping on those large pumpkins from the vines and pushing them into the castle with a handcart.

Obviously, these pumpkins have grown to the size people wanted. It was time to harvest them for Halloween decorations.

"Maybe it's because they lost last year, Wood and the others are going crazy this year!" Standing on the corridor on the second floor, watching Hagrid tie several large pumpkins together and pull them towards the basement kitchen with a handcart, Venetto said softly to Hugo and Hermione.

"We were supposed to train this afternoon, but after seeing that the weather was too bad, the captain had no choice but to give up the training plan. At least he felt that in this climate where he couldn't see people ten meters away, he couldn't play the game at all, and training in this weather was worthless except to make everyone tired."

"I know about this." Hermione, who was usually not that interested in Quidditch, suddenly thought of something and chuckled, then explained to Hugo and Venetto.

"I heard from Cho Chang that Randolph specifically asked Professor Trelawney to help predict which days the weather would be better for training. But later everyone discovered that the accuracy of those predictions was less than 1/5."

"I also heard my roommate Michael say this." Hugo also thought of something and shared the news he had gotten with the two girls.

"Trelawney even predicted the weather for a whole month and gave Randolph a list, but the first three days were all wrong. Fortunately, Randolph decisively threw away the list and acted according to the original plan, otherwise everyone would have to train in this stormy weather—"

Since it was close to dinner time, Hugo and the others walked towards the Ravenclaw Tower while discussing various interesting things, preparing to put the books back and enjoy a weekend dinner.

"There should be all kinds of delicious pumpkin food today." When the topic turned to what to eat for dinner, Venetto smiled and said to the Granger siblings.

"Don't forget that Hagrid moved all those big pumpkins into the castle, so I think there will be various pumpkin dishes these days."

Traditional Halloween pumpkin lanterns are hollow, because this is the only way to put candles or oil lamps into the carved pumpkins to make them glow.

And the house elves' craftsmanship is very good, they can use magic to dig out most of the pulp from the pumpkin lanterns and keep the original overall shape of the pumpkin lanterns.

In this way, those pumpkin lanterns with only a thin layer of skin can emit more light, making them look more beautiful than Muggle pumpkin lanterns.

At the same time, this operation will also allow the Hogwarts kitchen to obtain a large amount of pumpkin pulp as ingredients, so if there are no accidents, from now until Halloween, there will naturally be more dishes with pumpkin as ingredients.

"Roasted pumpkin, pumpkin pie, creamy pumpkin soup." Hugo was more interested in these pumpkin-based desserts, so on the way, he was thinking about what dishes would be available for dinner.

However, just as the three of them were walking leisurely through a corridor, they unexpectedly saw Filch walking angrily in a certain direction, carrying a mop in one hand and a bucket in the other.

Because of the rain these past two days, many people who came in from outside the castle also brought mud into the castle. Therefore, Filch's workload naturally increased all of a sudden. Not to mention that he caught a cold these days because his office was not warm.

This series of results led to him being in a bad mood recently, ready to catch a student who violated school rules and scold them severely.
