I Object to This Marriage!

It rained from the sky, and then it rained fish.

So Hogwarts had an extra lunch.

Fishing with electricity is illegal, but there is no such rule in the Hogwarts school rules.

Therefore, William not only did not violate school rules, but also effectively alleviated the problem of fish overpopulation in Black Lake, saving the school a sum of money on lunch.

Professor McGonagall decided to eat fish from Black Lake for every meal... for the next two weeks.

As for whether the students will get tired of the food... not at all. Look how happy everyone is eating, especially Professor Sprout, whose mouth is practically stretched to the back of his head.

Besides, frying, steaming, boiling, braising... House-elf know all kinds of cuisines, with a wide variety of methods.

This way, we can save a lot on food costs and use the saved budget on more meaningful things.

Let's see what a financial whiz looks like! (Leans back tactically)

Some people are born to be (vice) headmasters, something that some people (Snape) can't be jealous of.

Everyone enjoyed the meal, but Hagrid seemed unwell and didn't even show up in the Great Hall at noon.

It's understandable that the young wizard was upset that the first lesson resulted in him drowning.

But Hagrid wasn't entirely to blame; the root of all evil was McLaggen. Therefore, he was penalized 50 points, given a school-wide reprimand, and received a major demerit!

So on their very first day of class, the little lions were astonished to discover that they were, once again... at the bottom!

There really are Gryffindor!!

Professor McGonagall, who had been in a relatively good mood, suddenly became gloomy and punished McLaggen by making him stay in solitary confinement every weekend until the Christmas holiday.

The news wasn't exactly good or bad, but Wood was quite happy.

He's in seventh grade and about to graduate. The problem is, he hasn't won the Quidditch Cup since Gryffindor Quidditch Team!

Two years ago, when he became captain, he solemnly swore an oath under the Gryffindor statue:

He'll never have a girlfriend if he doesn't win the Quidditch Cup!

Wood wiped the sweat from his brow. That was close... Luckily, he only said he wouldn't get a girlfriend... Hehe!

Of course, that's not what Wood cares about; he just wants to win a trophy.

Otherwise, every time I run into Professor McGonagall, or hear Lee say that they are the Platinum Generation, I feel inexplicably embarrassed and my feet smell bad!

Fortunately, that annoying McLaggen was put in solitary confinement and therefore unable to participate in the Quidditch selections over the weekend.

If he cannot participate in the selection process, there will be no injury to the team members.

It's worth noting that during his first year of school, he fractured Charlie's skull, nearly causing him to lose his memory.

Similarly, McLaggen was put in solitary confinement, and he no longer had to listen to McClagan's dictatorial pronouncements and his endless boasting that no one knew Quidditch better than him!

William saved many young wizards, Hagrid gave him an extra fifty points. Thus, Ravenclaw began to lead the Four Houses, embarking on another parkour-like journey.

Hagrid is clearly a novice with no teaching experience. If it were any other professor, William's act of saving lives would at most earn him ten points!

A professor like Snape, who has no moral compass, would only get a paltry one point.

After adding points, they'll immediately find various reasons to deduct two more points.

They didn't deduct much; it was purely to annoy people!

At lunchtime, William and the twins did not sit in their own college, but went to the Hufflepuff table.

They stared intently at Cedric.

They had very few encounters with the Merpeople, yet the Merpeople princess still remembered Cedric and even knew his name, which was quite strange.

William certainly wouldn't believe that the two didn't know each other in private!

She's about to marry Cedric, and you still don't know him... Are you kidding me?!

Cedric felt his scalp tingle under the stare and immediately confessed, hoping for leniency:

"During the summer vacation, I stayed at school for a while and encountered that Merpeople several times at Black Lake."

She almost drowned once, and I saved her. That's how we met...

Wait a minute... something's not right. A Merpeople almost drowned in the Black Lake?!

"I saved her, and she came to see me every day. On a whim, I asked her to get me some Fantastic Beasts fur..."

"So, you two ended up together?" Fred asked, taking a bite Xiao Yuan his bun.

"Cough cough." Cedric nearly choked on a fishbone.

"Don't say such harsh things, it wouldn't be good if Qiu heard! I just want to make friends, it's very innocent..."

No one believed Cedric's explanation; they all thought Cedric had used his charm to seduce the Merpeople for his own ulterior motives.

George asked earnestly, "Can Merpeople and wizards marry?"

"Yes, although we discriminate against this kind of marriage... legally speaking, it is recognized," William explained.

According to the classification of wizards, Merpeople belong to the "human" category.

They did indeed reject the status of "human" and choose the identity of "beast," but why would a wizard care about the opinions of Merpeople?

Therefore, as human beings, wizards and Merpeople can intermarry, just as wizards can intermarry with Werewolf.

There are plenty of examples of this in the magical world as well. For instance, the 19th-century witch Mirabella Plunkett fell in love with a mermaid who lived in Loch Lomond in Scotland.

After her family rejected the marriage, she transformed herself into a haddock and disappeared.

According to the sorcerer, she was under Amortentia.

After all, Merpeople living in warm waters are all beautiful, but Merpeople living in cold waters are all ugly. For example, the Merpeople princess of the Black Lake.

"If it's true love, what does it matter if someone is ugly?" George said.

Would Cedric care? He likes interesting souls, not beautiful faces.

"But I still oppose this marriage," Fred said seriously.

"They're a perfect couple, what right do you, a monster, have to object?" William retorted.

"Okay, William, you're right." Fred laughed. "Then I'll wish them well and give them a gift."

As for becoming the Godfather, forget it!

"Get out of here!" Cedric roared.

"Autumn..." George called out.

"Okay, okay! I was wrong!" Cedric quickly covered George's mouth.

William asked in surprise, "Cedric, you didn't wash your hands after using the toilet. Why are your hands all wet now?"

George quickly broke free and spat.

Cedric panicked too. He sighed, "It's alright, I'll never go to Black Lake again, not in my entire life, and I'll never go to the bottom of Black Lake."

William pushed up glasses that weren't actually on his face and rolled his eyes.

Cedric has started making strange predictions again.

Just then, a commotion broke out at the Gryffindor dining table.

Ron fell unconscious, and Harry picked him up and ran towards the Hospital Wing.

"Hmm, our little brother seems to be in some trouble," Fred said.

"Isn't it that liar Professor Trelawney?" George laughed. "She Prophecy Ron would see Grim and die."

Cedric shook his head. "He wouldn't actually believe that, would he?"

Fred winked and said, "Of course! I'm telling you, little Ron is very superstitious, so we were just comforting him..."

George continued, "Don't be afraid, Ron. Our Uncle Bilius saw an Grim and died twenty-four hours later. You have plenty of time to say goodbye to us!"

"..." He really is my older brother.

After dinner, the twins went to find Lee, intending to continue spreading rumors and confirm Professor Snape's Werewolf identity.

Cedric went to the Ravenclaw dining table to find Cho.

Having already devised an excuse, he decisively pinned all the blame on William.

It's William!

He took the Polyjuice Potion, transformed into his own appearance, and went to seduce the Merpeople Mermaid.

William is already widely recognized as a scumbag, so he doesn't care about being blamed for something else.

Cedric's face broke into that same honest, badger-like smile again.

William, unaware that Cedric was plotting against him, carried a large amount of food alone, shaking off Anne, Ginny, and Luna who were trying to follow him, and quietly headed to the Room of Requirement.
