This is what Ravenclaw looks like.

Andrew had never analyzed the magic world in such a formal way. To most people he knew, the magic world was a place isolated from the Muggle world and hidden by the Statute of Secrecy.

But with the introduction of Berkeley, the sixth-year Ravenclaw, he had a more three-dimensional understanding of the magic world - it was an analysis method similar to what he was familiar with but more in line with the views of the magic world.

"If you have studied herbology seriously, you will find that we actually have a good ability to harvest food, but food is completely different from the food that wizards eat."

"We have better means than Muggles to grow and remove pests for those food crops, and even harvest them, but processing - turning them into flour, rice grains, and even bread requires expensive alchemical equipment, because our current means cannot replicate the Muggle machinery very well, and wizards who can process them in one go are too rare."

"A Ravenclaw I was familiar with made a design for this means of production - he referred to the graduation level of ten graduates and took an intermediate value, and the wizards in the middle value worked The effect of a reasonable spellcasting in one day is called a magic hour. "

"This is somewhat based on Muggle stuff - but it does solve a problem. Under this setting, he made a statistical analysis of the magic hours spent by wizards on various productions, and then compared a large number of Muggle products with the hours consumed by wizards, and finally came up with a very interesting table. "

"This is amazing..."

"Of course, he is now the office director of the Logistics Department of the Ministry of Magic."

"Logistics Department?"

Andrew thought about it for a while and remembered this department - now he has heard of it. Don't think that this department sounds bad, but in fact, in that weird club, Andrew has learned that this department is related to the Ministry of Magic. The long office is on one floor…

"A very suitable position."

"Of course - because he not only makes those things, do you know what welfare stores provide besides food?"

Berkeley asked back, "Not those clothes that are already ridiculously cheap in the Muggle world, but cloth and wool."

"Cloth and wool?"

"Of course, a very clever approach," Berkeley said as he grabbed a piece of parchment, "The magic hours required for wool production and wool processing are not high under the effect of potions, but the project of making ready-made clothes is different - but the Ministry of Magic still only sends out raw materials, rather than purchasing finished products and distributing them cheaply."

"Because of the demand for styles and positions?"

"Almost the same, style is to maintain independence, and jobs are to maintain stability," Berkeley nodded, "but there is another important reason that this can take up a lot of time."

"Even with the help of magic, knitting sweaters and making ready-made clothes takes a lot of time. If the family has enough children, it will take more time."

"Although this sounds a bit cruel, it is not - think about it, if some trivial work is not arranged to kill some wizards' time, what will happen... especially when the Ministry of Magic cannot provide enough jobs."

...

I just dealt with the group of people who were staring at the Ministry of Magic, but why did the topic suddenly become so high-end?

Andrew finally understood the difference between Hogwarts and the other schools he knew - although it sounds like a comprehensive high school with junior high school and high school, considering that students will find employment after graduation, plus the Ministry of Magic and the school's cooperation project that was revealed today, students after the fifth grade can basically be regarded as college students, but the school system is shorter.

The Ministry of Magic is more like the Egyptian government he is familiar with, but the means are more clever and covert, and the fiscal revenue has become completely different because of the existence of the Muggle world and the Statute of Secrecy.

"You don't need to be responsible for this for the time being, but you have to carefully study their reports and try to imitate them when you help me mark the homework."

After leaving the room that I don't know if it should still be a classroom, Professor McGonagall told Andrew so-Ravenclaw's lower grades are indeed a bit petty, and she hopes that Andrew can take a long-term view after understanding this not-so-important project.

"Okay, professor, I will study hard."

"Also, remember to mark your application for staying in school during this Christmas holiday. You have to carefully familiarize yourself with various documents in the past six months during this time."

? ? ?

No, professor, why are you so skilled!

You look like a black-hearted boss who has just shown his subordinates the world and shown them a big pie and then arranged for employees to work overtime!

Andrew, who didn't know that this was a trick learned from Dumbledore, saw through it, but still agreed without hesitation - there was no point in hiding, it would be his job sooner or later...

'Just consider it as reducing the workload in the future... Besides, the Christmas holiday is coming, and the manuscript for next month must be prepared...'

"Stay in school?"

"Yes, stay in school, I don't want to go back to Privet Drive at all."

Harry said this frankly while trying to wave his wand to cast a spell - he never thought he could say such words so easily.

"Ah, if you stay in school, how about we... But I really miss my mother."

Seamus started to speak, but changed his words before he finished speaking.

"It's okay, just go back. I'm just studying the spells Hermione recommended. I'll teach you after I've practiced them during the holidays."

Under the persuasion of the two of them, Hermione hesitated and joined a group of Gryffindors who were crazy about learning magic, and became a spell supplier for the lower-grade Gryffindors - because the types of magic she mastered were even comparable to those of fourth-grade students.

The most important thing is that most first-grade students can master the magic that Hermione mastered after long-term practice, instead of the magic provided by the seniors, which most people can't reach the threshold even with their efforts.

"How about giving those Slytherin guys something tough before Christmas?"

Although both sides have restrained themselves a lot after the last conflict, Slytherin's scores are currently far ahead, which has led to their increasing complacency recently.

"No, didn't you read what Dumbledore said? He told us that the accumulation of knowledge is infinite, and we should not be proud of a small progress. We have learned some things, but we don't have an overwhelming advantage. Slytherin has mastered as many curses as we do."

"And our opponents are not just first-year students. It doesn't matter if we lose, but if you are caught and put in detention together in school, you will be finished."

"Besides," Harry grinned, "the twins told me that they have a big plan, and it's best not to alarm the Slytherin students at this time."
