Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 562: Curriculum Arrangement

The Hufflepuffs, who were usually on excellent terms with the Gryffindors, had turned remarkably cold toward the whole lot of them. When they met, they just turned around and left.

Even their Head, Professor Sprout, was the same. One Herbology lesson was enough to prove it. 

This was actually very easy to understand. Hufflepuff House very rarely got any glory.

Cedric was one of the few who had ever given them any, having beaten Gryffindor once at Quidditch.  What made their resentment even stronger was that they felt that Ron had stolen the glory that belonged to them. 

To make matters worse, many of them began to give Ron all kinds of vicious insults like Slytherins. 

As for the Ravenclaws, they were not as supportive of Ron as they were of Cedric. 

Although they still maintained relatively rational restraint, most Ravenclaws seemed to think that Ron had been desperate to earn himself fame by tricking the Goblet of Fire into accepting his name. 

As a matter of fact, Ron was still smug about becoming a champion. He was not at all aware of his current bad situation or, more accurately, selective neglect.

All of them were jealous of him, jealous of his becoming a champion. 

He was now completely immersed in the status of a champion, immersed in the great glory it brought, admired by other young Gryffindor wizards, and boasted about his fictional decoding of Dumbledore’s magic to fool the Goblet of Fire.

He didn’t even listen to Evan, Harry or Hermione’s words, nor did he think about the first task. 

This was really bad enough, wasn’t it?! 

Evan could only hand over the persuasion to Harry and Hermione, and he had not put much effort into Ron. 

He entered a bottleneck in the study of the powerful “Silence” spell acquired by the marsh relics. It took him a lot of time to dig through the library to find all kinds of ancient magic books, and compare them with the magic symbols appearing in the spell.

Evan got the approval from Caresius, and Madam Pince reluctantly gave him a collection of books in the Restricted Section. 

She couldn’t understand at all why this student got permission from the Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor every year. 

The former Professors Lockhart, Lupin, and Black did the same, and now even Mad-Eye Moody was no different. 

Were these professors mad to let a thirteen-year-old wizard encounter to the esoteric horror?!

Madame Pince had been working in the library for decades, and it was her first time to touch many of those books. 

These magic books had been quietly placed in the Restricted Section for centuries, and they had not been touched before Evan. 

Beyond that was the understanding of the contents and knowledge of these records, most of which were not even titled by Madam Pince. 

Evan ignored her constant frowning at him. In addition to entering the bottleneck in the study of the spell, he did not make much progress in the study of ancient magic. 

Ancient magic scripts, especially the older ones, could not be learned only by reciting and memorizing, but also by understanding and mastering the meaning and changes created by them.

These things had kept Evan busy, not to mention that he had to find time to learn the Merpeople’s language and Alchemy. 

Every class homework also took up a lot of his time. Without Hermione’s help, Evan really wouldn’t know what to do. 

In this case, he naturally had no time to deal with Ron, who had not yet recognized the seriousness of the matter.

Maybe after he would know the content of the first task, he would come to ask for help. 

Evan also learned about the latest developments from Caresius. Barty Crouch Jr. sent him a note through the owl network asking him to do his best to help Ron through the tournament.

Barty Jr. made Ron a champion, not just to kill him, but to plot something else. 

But Ron was not the only champion. 

Fleur got the support of all the male students with the fastest speed. She was now the most discussed topic among the boys. A beautiful girl with Veela descent; this was the dream lover of most men. 

However, among the girls, Fleur’s reputation was not so good, even in Beauxbatons. 

As for Cedric, he looked the part of a champion more than anyone else. He looked exceptionally handsome, with his straight nose, dark hair and gray eyes.

Not to mention that he was also very strong, and he had performed well in all aspects. Even Caresius does not hesitate to praise him. The way he looked at him, it seemed that he wished him to become a vampire too, which was too scary.

Viktor Krum was not as handsome as Cedric, but his popularity was also very high, especially among girls. 

Evan had more than once watched girls by Durmstrang’s ship or near the Great Hall, begging Krum for autographs on parchment, bags, accessories and even underwear…

He could not understand their openness and insanity at all.

For the students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang who had to stay in Hogwarts, there had been a curriculum arrangement. 

Because they had to stay and watch the tournament, and cheer for their schools’ champions, they couldn’t go back to their schools until the end of the term. 

Therefore, they were assigned to classes of Hogwarts according to their age and learning progress to learn with the young wizards of Hogwarts and ensure that their studies were not delayed.

Because they were all students over 17 years old, they were all concentrated in the sixth and seventh years, except for Gabrielle. She was the only visiting wizard who was under the age of seventeen.

On Monday after the champions were selected, Evan was surprised to have Gabrielle in his own class. He didn’t figure out what was going on until he knew that the girl had chosen exactly the same courses as him.

“Don’t be so surprised. Both Madame Maxime and my sister think I can learn more about magic and integrate more quickly with you.” Gabrielle said, with a naughty smile on her face, “Evan, you will take care of me, won’t you?”

In fact, Professor McGonagall had just sent Gabrielle here and asked Evan by name to take care of her. 

Apparently, Madame Maxime specifically talked to Dumbledore about this matter; Evan could do nothing but accept. 

The way Gabrielle looked; he felt that he might have a little extra energy in him. 

Taking care of a foreign female student in life and study was an important task.
