Hankey Pankey Academy

Knock! Knock! Knock!

There was a loud knock on the door, causing the long bearded man who was usually called Professor Pilius to step quickly to open the door. However, what a surprise when he saw a group of citizens had been staring at him with unfriendly looks.

"What's the crowd?" asked Professor Pilius with confused faces, some of them immediately wanted to attack Professor Pilius. However, one of them immediately dispelled the crowd from attacking Professor Pilius.

"You saw and heard for yourself that the people don't like your being here because you are a magician. I don't know if the news is true or not, for sure you'd better get out of this place and find another area that allows you to live there," said one resident who still felt sorry for Professor Pilius who was known to be very kind and friendly. Professor Pilius was silent, even though he could have driven people away from his house with his magical powers. However, the middle-aged man chose to comply with the wishes of local residents to move from the house he loved so much.

Professor Pilius sighed softly then nodded, he knew how restless the citizens were feeling, they might be afraid of his unusual skills.

"I can understand your feelings, I'm sorry if my practice of magic has been troubling you for the past few days. I am going out today, you guys don't have to be scared and make me like a criminal. We've been neighbors for a long time, don't let this strain the relationship between neighbors," said Professor Pilius making everyone silent. With wobbly steps, Professor Pilius took some of the things he often used to leave the hut that had protected him from all weathers for years. This was enough to make Professor Pilius feel frustrated with his neighbour's attitude.

However, when Professor Pilius had walked quite a distance he thought of turning England into a wizarding world so that no one would be afraid and restless to see him living in his own house.

"This is unfair, how can I be kicked out of my own house when I have never done anything wrong with them?" murmured Professor Pilius who was very annoyed with all British society. With his power, Professor Pilius immediately conjured England with his wand which he always carried with him everywhere.

There is nothing different from England before, England in the wizarding world only differs in its activities that rely on magic power. Everything was so much easier and Professor Pilius smiled proudly, now England was a land full of magical powers and nothing could separate him from his hut.

"Now everyone has used magic, but it looks like I'll be opening a magic school so people don't have to do manual labor anymore because they definitely can't use their magic power," said Professor Pilius and he walked back towards his house. No one remembered that Professor Pilius had just been expelled from British territory because now the wizarding world was not the old England. No one will throw him out again after this.

Professor Pilius sat on a worn wooden chair, he thought that there was one school he should build and choosing a name for a magic school was not an easy one. However, as he was sitting down suddenly an idea crossed Professor Pilius' mind. The man will name the school he built with the name Hankey Pankey Academy, aka a magic academy that will teach about the wizarding world.

However, Professor Pilius was confused and worried that no one would enter the academy.

Professor Pilius rubbed his face gently while designing a drawing of the building he was going to turn into a school of magic.

Magic made it easier for Professor Pilius to design the drawings this time. He was quite satisfied with the drawing of his wand design, which was far more talented than him.

"The design is complete, now I have to conjure it up so that it can be occupied by humans." After saying that, Professor Pilius immediately pointed his wand at the empty plot of land right next to the house.

With a few incantations, Professor Pilius pointed his wand at a piece of vacant land and thought a plan in his mind so that the magic would know what Professor Pilius wanted. Professor Pilius' strength is the mind where he has to rely on his mind for the incantation to function properly and also has to focus.

It is difficult to teach what Professor Pilius does every day to his students later. However, because England had been turned into a wizarding world. So, it's most likely that magic is easier to teach by a group of people who want to explore its magical potential.

A mist of white smoke covered his vision for a split second so Professor Pilius could only see an inch of the area in front of him. However, when the fog had dissipated, in front of him was a magnificent building just as he had imagined. Magic had never disappointed Professor Pilius, the real world that had often disappointed Professor Pilius was no longer there.

"Th—It really is very similar to what I imagined, it's amazing!" said Professor Pilius with sparkling eyes he saw the level building that would become Hankey Pankey's school. Professor Pilius never thought that he would become the superintendent of a school like this.

With a face still full of admiration, Professor Pilius stepped into the building that looked very spacious. Professor Pilius saw that the building was very satisfactory, on the ground floor there was the principal's office and several other school staff that would soon be filled while on the second floor there were several classes that would be filled according to their expertise and lastly there was a library on the third floor which was very spacious. and books on magic are very complete in that place.

"I can't wait to start a new semester to teach them how to do magic from the ground up. However, I need some teachers and other staff to help operationalize this boarding school," said Professor Pilius who looked sad because he didn't have enough money to hire someone to become a teacher at Hankey Pankey Academy while he wasn't enough to run the school alone.

Reluctantly, Professor Pilius put up an advertisement to recruit several volunteer teachers who wanted to teach at Hankey Pankey Academy. Professor Pilius also hastened the opening of the new semester at Hankey Pankey academy so that he would have enough time before the first semester really started in that magical land.

Professor Pilius would never have thought that the opening of Hankey Pankey Academy would be the start of his school's chaos due to some students he didn't expect.
