Ernie Macmillan's personal experience.

Born in 1980 (chapter 7 of the philosopher's stone). 199 1- 1998 studied at hufflepuff college and became good friends with Hannah Abbott and Justin Fenelli. 1995- 1998 as the prefect (chapter 10 of the order of the phoenix).

He is a short and flashy student, but he is always loyal to justice. In the second grade, he led other Hufflepuff students to protect Justin Fenrelli, who was born in Muggle. Although he mistakenly thought that Harry was the heir of Slytherin, after Hermione was petrified, he began to believe that Harry was innocent and publicly apologized to Harry, and Harry accepted his apology (the Chamber of Secrets).

1994 In the summer, Ernie and his family participated in the Quidditch World Cup final between Ireland and Bulgaria. There was a death eater attack during the period, which caused chaos. In the fourth grade, Ernie held the Triwizard Tournament at Hogwarts. Ernie supported cedric diggory in the same college and began not to talk to Harry Potter because, like other students, he thought Harry was cheating before he was old enough to win honor.

"Hey, listen, I told them not to wear those badges."

-cedric diggory told Harry about Hufflepuff student Dai's writing "Potter stinks".

In the fifth grade, Ernie and his good friend Hannah Abbott were appointed as prefects (OP 10). At the beginning of the year, when the attack of the Daily Prophet on Harry reached its peak, and Umbridge insulted Harry in the confinement, Ernie publicly expressed his support for Harry and Dumbledore, which was a very strong support, because Luna's public support for Harry at that time deepened the belief of most students that Harry was not a liar (OP 13). Ernie later proved his support for Harry by action, joined DA (chapter 16 of the Order of the Phoenix) and learned a lot of practical magic.

With the approach of the O.W.L.S exam, Ernie has developed a habit of comparing his daily study time with other students. (OP3 1) He doesn't seem to be a good boy candidate, but his public support for Harry and his secret participation in DA imply that he is at least better than Percy.

In the seventh grade, he joined the DA again, rebelled against the control of the Death Eaters on Hogwarts, and participated in the Battle of 1998 Hogwarts. After the second magic war, his life experience was temporarily unknown.

Professor McGonagall: "When the prefect heard my order, he organized the students in your college and was responsible for sending them to the evacuation site in an orderly manner."

Ernie Macmillan: What if we want to stay and fight?

As a pure-blood wizard, Ernie was able to return to Hogwarts between 1997-1998 after being ruled by Voldemort in the Ministry of Magic. Of course, it is necessary to be a student at Hogwarts. Presumably, Ernie's muggle-born friend Justin Fenrelli failed to return to school, but Hannah Albert did. The two of them joined the reorganized Dumbledore army, led by Neville Longbottom, Ginny Weasley and Luna lovegood in the absence of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, because they were looking for Voldemort's Horcruxes. Members of DA are opposed to "anti-Muggle propaganda" and the dark magic courses taught by death eaters Amicus Carlo and Alecto Carlo. They wrote rebellious slogans on the wall, allowing students to escape imprisonment in the face of flogging and even terrible curses.

Ernest: In English, "serious" also refers to something used to ensure its authenticity, such as deposits.
