In terms of academics, the students of the other three Houses truly could not compare to Ravenclaw.
The Hufflepuff students quickly accepted reality and chose to take a laid-back approach to studying—if they could not outstudy the others, so be it. They just should not come last.
The Slytherin and Gryffindor students, however, took rather extreme measures.
From the beginning of the second week, the little snakes far surpassed the Gryffindor students in their class, whether in completed homework or classroom performance.
But they soon discovered that even after studying themselves half to death, they still seemed unable to outperform those "bookworms" from Eagle House.
So, starting that weekend of the second week, Ravenclaw students would frequently be struck by nasty curses and carried to the infirmary—an approach that directly and efficiently affected their study efficiency.
In exchange, Professor McGonagall was furious!
During that week's Transfiguration class, she solemnly warned every Slytherin student not to lay hands on students from other Houses again. Anyone caught would be given detention without exception!
Yet her warning had no effect whatsoever.
Although most Slytherin students had stopped after the first week, it was not only Slytherin students who were attacking people!
While the number of attacks did decrease, they still continued to occur.
Professor McGonagall even jabbed Snape over the matter: "Please, as Head of House, keep your own students under control." It infuriated him.
He had already displeased Professor McGonagall over the Duelling Club last time—despite the fact that he and Li Wei had organized it together, she still said she wanted to observe it for a while.
As for what exactly she wanted to observe, she had not made it clear.
In the third week, a Gryffindor student was caught red-handed after casting a spell on a Ravenclaw student. The news
