Inside the classroom, Professor Flitwick was teaching a new spell.

"Several hundred years ago, wizards were forbidden from appearing before Muggle for some reason."

"Apart from today, the only time wizards can openly appear in Muggle society is on Halloween."

Professor Flitwick stood on a chair so that all the young wizards in the classroom could see his movements.

"Now learn from me, Trick-or-Treat Charm!"

Then, Professor Flitwick tapped his wand lightly, and the pumpkin on his table emitted a burst of light.

A hoarse voice came from the pumpkin's mouth. "Trick or treat!"

A pumpkin that could talk! In an instant, all the young wizards were captivated.

Seeing that he had aroused the learning enthusiasm of all the young wizards, Professor Flitwick waved his wand, and a row of pumpkins automatically flew in front of each young wizard.

"Now you can try this spell yourselves!"

Upon hearing this, Lester took the lead in demonstrating, raising his wand high and saying calmly, "Trick-or-Treat Charm!"

A flash of light appeared, and the pumpkin in front of me slowly spoke:

"Ron Weasley, your red underwear is showing! Put it away right now!"

As the leader of Slytherin, Lester's every move is watched.

Ron Weasley of Gryffindor was even more eager for Lester's spell to fail so he could mock him properly.

When Ron Weasley was completely dumbfounded.

Everyone else burst into laughter, with Malfoy pointing and gesturing at Ron Weasley.

Even Harry stared curiously at Ron Weasley's pants, wanting to see if Ron Weasley's underwear was really showing.

Ron Weasley glanced at his pants instinctively. Damn it, he'd been fooled!

Flitwick: "..."

"Ahem, quiet! Lester Bide, the first to successfully cast a spell, and he even managed to edit the language himself, very good, Slytherin +10 points!"

[Ding! You have received a bonus from Professor Flitwick, Task Points +1]

[Ding! You have received praise from Professor Flitwick. Task Points +1]

Upon hearing that he had gained two more Task Points, Lester's eyes lit up. Without holding back, he immediately began to teach the students around him.

Seeing that Lester had started giving Slytherin students extra help again, the Gryffindor students were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Ron Weasley, his face contorted with resentment, muttered, "You bastard, what are you pretending to be, pretending to be a good guy in front of the professor? If you're really so helpful, why do you only teach Slytherin?"

"You selfish bastard, you'll definitely make a spell mistake someday and get blown up by the curse."

Beside Ron Weasley, Hermione listened to Ron Weasley's vicious curses, her brows furrowed.

She didn't want to sit next to Ron Weasley, but at Harry's request, and also because she wanted to make a friend, she sat down anyway.

Unexpectedly, Ron Weasley had been cursing Lester non-stop since the beginning of class, which was utterly disgusting.

Hermione couldn't help but speak up, "Ron Weasley, instead of hoping Lester will teach you, why don't you try it yourself first?"

"Try it yourself?" Ron Weasley shouted, as if offended.

"Hermione, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that I, Ron Weasley, am a petty person who only complains and doesn't try?"

Hermione didn't say anything, and clearly, that's what he thought.

Ron Weasley became even angrier and roared, "Can you even cast this spell? If not, what's the difference between us?"

Hermione was getting a little angry too, and snorted, "Of course I can succeed!"

Hermione skillfully waved her wand, chanting a spell.

A few seconds later, the pumpkin head slowly spoke, "Trick or treat!"

Ron Weasley's face turned green instantly. He looked around and saw that all his classmates were giving him mocking looks.

"Well, you're really something!"

Ron Weasley said something dryly, then turned away, ignoring Hermione.

However, he secretly harbored resentment in his heart.

"No, I must get Professor Quirrell to speed up my training today. I'm going to make these bastards pay!"

Lester was indifferent to the farce happening in Gryffindor; all his energy was now focused on teaching the young wizards spells.

In a class that lasted an hour and a half, all the Slytherin passed again.

Lester thus gained over 30 Task Points, which, combined with his previous Task Points, meant he only needed to attend one Doran's Ring.

After class, Lester went to the restaurant for dinner as usual, but this time, Lester learned a lesson.

He remembered that, if nothing went wrong, Professor Quirrell would come running in in a panic halfway through dinner, saying that Troll had entered Hogwarts.

However, this time, Quirrell's strength is evident to all, and it remains to be seen how he will deliver this message.

Sure enough, Professor Quirrell burst in just halfway through dinner.

"Oh no, Professor Dumbledore! Several Troll have suddenly appeared inside Hogwarts! I just fought with them and was injured by Troll!"

As he spoke, Quirrell revealed his kidney, which had a deep dent the size of a fist.

Everyone present gasped. They were certain this wasn't a Halloween prank; Hogwarts had truly been invaded by Troll.

"What do we do? Even Professor Quirrell is no match for those Troll. If we encounter Troll, we're doomed!"

Just as everyone was in chaos, Professor Dumbledore had to make his wand explode with purple sparks several times before everyone quieted down.

Fortunately, there was a dinner party at Hogwarts tonight, and almost all the students were in attendance, so no lone young wizard would be in danger.

"Prefect of each college, now, lead your students back to the lounge!"

The two Prefect from the other houses immediately stood up and organized their young wizards into two rows, while only the Slytherin students remained seated.

No one moved; instead, they all turned their attention to Lester.

Since the Prefect and female Prefect were removed from their posts for having illicit relations in the common room, Slytherin has not appointed a new Prefect.

Almost everyone assumes that Lester, a first-year student, is currently the eldest brother in Slytherin.

Without Lester's permission, no one dared to move.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Lester showed no fear and simply gave the order:

"Fute, you'll lead the group. Seventh graders will stand at the front, sixth graders at the back, and the rest of the younger students in the middle."

Upon hearing this, Fute immediately began organizing the team, while Lester looked towards Gryffindor.

Sure enough, Hermione wasn't in the group; only Harry and Ron Weasley were talking anxiously.
