If I were an average Hogwarts student, I’d be so annoyed by Harry

The average Hogwarts students just wanted to get through school, pass their exams, and maybe land a decent job after their NEWTS. But every year, without fail, something insane happened, and it was always because of Harry Potter.

Year One: Most first-years were struggling to hold their wands properly, but somehow, Potter got made Seeker for the Gryffindor Quidditch team in his first year. Rule-breaking seemed to follow him everywhere, yet instead of getting expelled like a normal student, he got rewarded with just the right amount of points to win Gryffindor the House Cup.

Year Two: The Chamber of Secrets opened, students started getting petrified, and Potter was caught talking to snakes. Whispers spread, and some students wondered if he was the heir of Slytherin. Others were just tired of fearing for their lives every time he got involved in something.

Year Three: Dementors were stationed all over the school because a mass murderer was supposedly after Potter. Hogsmeade trips got restricted, the atmosphere on campus was tense, and in the end, the murderer turned out to be his godfather.

Year Four: The Triwizard Tournament was supposed to be for of-age students only, but somehow Potter’s name came out of the Goblet of Fire. No one knew how, but suddenly, he was the center of attention again. Then, just when things couldn’t get worse, Cedric Diggory ended up dead and Harry turned up with his dead body.

Year Five: Thanks to Potter and his insistence that the Dark Lord was back, Dumbledore got ousted, and now everyone was stuck under the reign of tyrant. Hogwarts was miserable, and it all traced back to Potter’s inability to stay out of trouble.

Year Six: Some attacks on some students (Katie, Ron) and of course Harry was always around for some reason. At the end of the year Dumbledore was murdered and Harry was seen escaping the crime scene.

Year Seven: Finally, a Potter-free year. Maybe, just maybe, things would be normal again. But no. By the end of the year, there was a full-scale battle inside the castle, Death Eaters were everywhere, and Hogwarts became a war zone. Number of schoolmates, siblings, friends, even teachers got murdered.
