"The Author, Still Being Worked to the Bone by School After the May Day Holiday, Has Updated"

Morning.

Harry woke up smiling again today.

Ron looked refreshed too.

After all, it felt great to tear into a certain archrival surnamed Malfoy in the group chat every night, especially when he couldn't win the argument.

It was as refreshing as putting on new underpants for the New Year (?.

"Morning, Hermione." Ron was in such a good mood that he greeted Hermione with a satisfied smile when he arrived at the Great Hall, leaving her at a loss for a moment. She never checked her phone at night.

"Did he win the lottery?"

Hermione asked Harry, who was also beaming as he shook his head. "Trust me, Hermione, it feels amazing."

"Yeah, watching that young master get taken down a peg really is amazing."

The teasing tone made it obvious that the speakers were the Weasley Twins.

George had thoroughly enjoyed watching the show last night, while Fred had been itching to join forces with Ron and rip into Malfoy.

Hermione listened as the group took turns recounting what had happened last night, and couldn't help frowning.

"Do you really think this is right?"

"Come on, Hermione, look at Malfoy's face over there! I could take a picture and use it as my profile picture!" Ron said excitedly. "I don't think I'd change it for a whole year."

"You look as reverent as if you were worshipping Merlin," George teased.

Over at the Slytherin table, Malfoy clenched his back teeth and viciously speared a pea with his fork, then put it in his mouth as if it were Weasley's and Potter's heads.

Blaise spread his hands, a faintly teasing smile on his lips. The Malfoy family's young master had lost an argument to a Weasley; telling people that would probably have them dying of laughter.

[Admin] Yan: I keep thinking.

[Admin] Yan: Watching Harry and Ron go at it with Malfoy every day is so much fun lol.

Bug Ming: I'm dying laughing, seriously.

Mrs. Malfoy Number Two: Screenshots saved every day, get √

Fujiya Nougat: So does anyone else remember that Harry is going to meet Sirius this year?

Magpie: Just look how long it's been since we appeared.

Bug Ming: ? Haven't we been chatting every day?

Magpie: Ahem.

Cedric's Underpants: So when is Sirius going to show up?

[Admin] Yan: I remember Sirius first appeared at Hogwarts

Knowledge Is Power: It was on the night they went to Hogsmeade. Sirius broke into the Gryffindor boys' dormitory and attacked Ron.

[Admin] Yan: Whoa! Hermione, you're so fast! I hadn't even finished typing.

Knowledge Is Power: Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Hermione Is Number One Under Heaven: It's fine! Everything Hermione does is right!

What's Wrong with Eating More?: !! Harry's godfather is coming to attack me??

Wants to Make Friends: ? Why isn't my godfather coming to see me?

What's Wrong with Eating More?: Harry, shouldn't you be concerned that I'm getting attacked? QAQ

My Younger Brother Isn't as Handsome as Me: George, I'm going to throw up (´-﹏-`;).

My Older Brother Is Farting: Ron, you should give up on emoticons. They don't suit you (´-ι_-｀).

Proprietress Number Two: You two are so cute... (faints)

Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes Proprietress: Drag her away, next (?

My Younger Brother Isn't as Handsome as Me: ੭ ᐕ)੭*⁾⁾

What's Wrong with Eating More?: ...You're only two seats away. Do you really have to roast me in the group chat?!

Bug Ming: Hahahahahahaha!

Magpie: The twins got the hang of emoticons pretty quickly too lol.

My Younger Brother Isn't as Handsome as Me: Of course~ (puts an arm around George's shoulders)

My Older Brother Is Farting: We're twins, after all~ (rejects Fred's arm around his shoulders)

Ron looked up and glared at his twin brothers, who both wore mischievous grins.

"They're too much!"

Fred and George made faces at Ron.

Ron: Even angrier.

Hermione's expression made it clear she wasn't taking either side. She was more concerned about Sirius now.

After all, the day of the trip to Hogsmeade was fast approaching.

Harry was a little excited and couldn't stop smiling.

He hadn't taken the bad advice from the group and signed the form himself. He had simply given up his chance to go to Hogsmeade. He thought he might as well stay at school and look for Sirius instead. What if he ran into him?

Harry didn't want everyone to be too wary of Sirius. That would be hard to bear.

At least, he didn't want their wariness to grow.

Lupin's classes were genuinely interesting. Even someone like Fred, who didn't like studying, found them interesting.

Harry was even more engaged in class. It was already a subject he was good at, and with a teacher he liked as well, his grades in Defence Against Dark Magic Class gradually improved.

Lupin still didn't understand why his students looked at him like Chinese students who had been worked to the bone for ages and suddenly been told they had a day off.

Hermione was happy too. She could finally have a year of Defence Against Dark Magic Class that was worthwhile and meaningful, with a teacher who wasn't an enemy.

The ones who were truly upset...

Were probably just the group members who couldn't talk to Lupin through their screens.

Remus's Beloved Wife: Damn it, I want to take Professor Lupin's class too...

Ron Seafood Wholesale Market: Fuck, why doesn't Professor Lupin have a phone!!!

Proprietress Number Two: I want to take it! I want to take it!

Proprietress Number Two: (writhes) (falls over) (throws a tantrum) Ugh, aaaaaaaaaah (head)

[Admin] !: (looks at the sky) Why won't you give our Lupin one? Why! (roars) (falls to knees) (clutches chest)

[Group Owner] ?: ...So dramatic.

[Admin] !: Nyehe~

Wants to Make Friends: It's such a shame. The professors know we have phones and won't let us take them out in class.

Knowledge Is Power: I think that's absolutely the right decision, Harry!

What's Wrong with Eating More?: But aren't phones meant to be played with?

Wang Qiu: Damn it, doesn't that make it just like our classes!! (pounds table)

Red-Lipped, White-Toothed The Chosen One: Harry, you can't let them restrict you! (serious)

Bug Ming: I want to watch a livestream of the class (soul leaves body)

[Admin] Yan: Wouldn't that just make it an online class?!

Oh My Mother: ...

Oh My Mother: Why torture yourself?

Bug Ming: Can you really call it an online class when it's in the magical world?

Five Points from Gryffindor: ...

Five Points from Gryffindor: I think perhaps you still have too little homework, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Miss Granger, slacking off while doing your homework.

Professor Snape Is Mine: Holy shit, it's the first time I've seen Snape speak.

Professor Snape's Potions Assistant: Holy shit, it's the first time Professor Snape's said so much.

Fujiya Nougat: Holy shit, keeping the chain going.

Magpie: Hahahahahahaha! You got caught playing with your phones while doing homework!

Proprietress Number Two: I don't know why, but I'm suddenly scared.

[Admin] Yan: You're empathizing, I guess (looks at the sky)

Bug Ming: Ahahaha, university students fear nothing.

Oh My Mother: Can't you just play with your phone and listen to music while doing homework? (mischievous grin)

Proprietress Number Two: QAQ, Teacher Di, you've picked up bad habits from Teacher B.

[Admin] !: Throw the university students out.

[Admin] !: Oh, wait, I already graduated.

Magpie: ...Throw them all out!

At that moment, Snape was standing behind the trio with his phone in one hand.

Harry & Ron: Scared, didn't dare speak.

Hermione rolled her eyes. She had already finished, so she got up, handed in her homework, and left.

The two who had only just started: ...

Snape: (stares) Go on, try getting distracted.

Dumbledore smiled faintly in his office. This was youth, wasn't it?

Professor McGonagall saw the messages and pretended she hadn't. After all, now that those children had phones, they did need to be kept in line.

Otherwise, what would they do about their final exams?

I just dealt with someone who reposted it in violation of my copyright today. I hope none of you do something so ignorant.

Even if you like it, you can write something on a similar theme yourself. I have no right to object, but copying it word for word is wrong. I once wrote a story about someone sneaking into a fan group, and it was stolen. After that, I never wrote on that theme again.

I wrote all these reasons in the synopsis.

You even copied the synopsis. Didn't you see that?

Now I've started writing it again, and the same thing has happened.

Fortunately, a fan spotted it and told me.

It's really disgusting.

You knew my previous story on this theme had been reposted without authorization, and you still did it.

It really disgusts me.

That person apologized in the end, and I won't pursue what you were thinking anymore.

I'll wait for you to delete the repost.

And I hope this won't happen again.
