2 2.Stupid Children

The first day since Hankey Pankey opened, some people started asking Professor Pilius about the learning system at the academy. However, no one wants to enter Hankey Pankey Academy for various reasons, one of which is that there are no hostel staff at Hankey Pankey, some people from the upper class also think that Hankey Pankey's dormitory is not safe because there are no guards.

Professor Pilius grew frustrated with his childhood dream of building a school of magic which was never accepted by British society.

"There's no way I'm conjuring myself into a lot because they will surely be surprised by the hostel staff who all have the same face," said Professor Pilius, apparently between reality and the wizarding world there must be a balance.

However, just when Professor Pilius was thinking there were two children who looked amazed by the magnificent Hankey Pankey dormitory in their eyes. At first Professor Pilius was pleased to see two boys stepping into the grounds of Hankey Pankey Academy. However, when he looked closer to the two children, Professor Pilius felt that the two children were not gifted with magic and looked stupid, which made Professor Pilius even more convinced of his decision to get rid of the two young children.

"Good morning, Professor Pilius. I'm Yuri and this is my best friend, Alby. We heard that you opened a magic academy of all walks of life and ages. We intend to enter this Academy, can you guide us to become proficient in magic?" asked Yuri who looked very chatty and had the courage that his best friend Alby didn't have.

Professor Pilius sighed softly looking at the boy named Yuri, his eyes looked very amazed and wanted to enter the Hankey Pankey Academy that Professor Pilius had founded.

Meanwhile, Alby could only stare at the Hankey Pankey building with a blank stare like he had no brain. The two children only brought their identities along with a pen hoping with the remaining spirit, they could be accepted into Hankey Pankey Academy.

Professor Pilius was confused, should he accept these two little boys? They really made Professor Pilius unsure of their abilities.

"What do you know about magic? What will you do with magic once you master it?" asked Professor Pilius earnestly, he really couldn't make up his mind based on the questions the two boys answered, but at least he had an idea of ​​how smart the two kids would be the first two students at Hankey Pankey Academy.

"Magic is so amazing, I can make anything with magic effortlessly. I'm sure if I master it then I will teach that knowledge to everyone so that many people feel the magic of magic," Yuri said enthusiastically. Then, Professor Pilius turned to Alby who was still staring at the Hankey Pankey building with a blank stare and mouth open.

Professor Pilius looked at Yuri as if asking what was your friend doing? Yuri who understood Professor Pilius's gaze immediately hit Alby's head making Professor Pilius panic because Yuri's hand hit Alby so fast that he couldn't see the movement of the boy's hand.

"Hey, what did you do to your friend? It's dangerous and you shouldn't do it to your friends, I'm sorry," said Professor Pilius who was also annoyed with Yuri being rude. Yuri immediately shook his head and then showed Alby's face which was like a sane child again making Professor Pilius wonder actually these two boys, why?

"He has a dreamy syndrome, no need to be surprised if he goes to a place he has seen for the first time, he must be like that and has to be hit on the head to get his consciousness back," Yuri explained seriously, making Professor Pilius wonder there really is a daydreaming syndrome?

However, Professor Pilius remembered that this was a magical world where even strange and absurd syndromes could occur in the wizarding world.

"Alright, you are accepted and because you are the first student in this dormitory. Please help me to find people who want to enter Hankey Pankey Academy so that we can start the new semester immediately," said Professor Pilius who was wearing a long robe like a professional magician.

"H—Is it true that we were accepted into this school?" Yuri and Alby asked at the same time, they didn't seem to expect that with Yuri's simple answer they could enter the dormitory.

"Yes, as long as you can invite ten people. Yuri was ten and Alby was ten. We'll start with those twenty people, I'm waiting for your hard work here. Bring them here and become my apprentices," said Professor Pilius triumphantly. It was certain that Yuri and Alby would work hard to get twenty people who wanted to learn about the wizarding world.

After hearing Professor Pilius' words, Yuri and Alby immediately ran outside as if excited to invite people of all ages to join the Hankey Pankey academy, Professor Pilius monitored the two boys who looked lively offering some flyers to passersby.

In front of Hankey Pankey Academy made Professor Pilius smile faintly. Even a ten year old boy was excited, but Professor Pilius seemed disoriented and easily frustrated.

"They don't know what they're doing, if they were adults they wouldn't be so excited," said Professor Pilius, playing with the white beard. Just as Professor Pilius was about to enter the staff room, suddenly a loud noise from outside Hankey Pankey made the Professor look outside.

How surprised Professor Pilius was when he saw people from various backgrounds already in front of the Hankey Pankey building made Professor Pilius want to cry. They were all passionate about the wizarding world and conjuring made Professor Pilius feel touched.

"We've brought them here, so maybe tomorrow we can start the first semester. Is that true, Professor Pilius?" asked Alby with a smile unlike before who stared blankly at the Hankey Pankey building.

Professor Pilius hides his feelings, however he must remain dignified in front of his students.

"Yes, of course I will teach you guys starting tomorrow. Now you can use the rooms in this hostel. However, no one was allowed to go up to the third floor where the library was because the library would be very dark and spooky at night. I am the head of your dormitory, you must obey me. Anyone have any objections?" asked Professor Pilius who looked like Santa Claus.

"Well! We will be good students for you, Professor Pilius. Please help," said all who were there in unison.
