Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

After the Potions class, Gabrielle went to the library to study with Evan in the evening.

They met Hermione there, and to Evan’s surprise, Gabrielle and Hermione got along very well. They often discussed the contents of the homework together and exchanged information about Hogwarts and Beauxbatons. Or simply let Evan aside and whisper something.

Evan couldn’t get a word out of this girls’ chat. Many times, he felt like they were talking about him, as they kept looking at him with a smile.

But it was undeniable that their relationship has progressed very quickly, even faster than that of Evan and Gabrielle.

Later, Hermione took the initiative to take Gabrielle to the Gryffindor Common Room and introduce her to everyone.

Gabrielle’s character was very good. She was welcomed by almost everyone, and integrated into the atmosphere of Gryffindor House.

The boys wanted to hear from her about her sister Fleur, know her hobbies and so on.

Evan doubted that if these guys knew Fleur’s character, they would not like her as much as they did now.

When they accompanied Gabrielle back to the carriage at night, Evan and Hermione met Fleur several times.

The chat content of those times was very irritating, such as listening to Fleur complaining that Hogwarts was too cold and the food was too greasy. In a word, she did not quite adapt to Hogwarts’ life and she didn’t like it here.

This made Hermione’s impression of her worse and worse, and later she even stopped approaching Beauxbatons carriage.

Like Fleur, Ron could no longer take Hogwarts’ life.

After becoming a champion, his life went through tremendous changes. From an unknown person, all of a sudden he became the focus of everyone’s attention, and all the actions were being watched.

This transformation was not something that everyone could adapt to, especially as besides Gryffindor, Ron was not accepted by any other house.

Everyone was full of malice towards him now. Small things and mistakes that might not have been mentioned before could now be amplified to become a topic of discussion in the school at any time and used as a reason to satirize Ron or to compare the ordinary Ron with the excellent Cedric from time to time. This feeling was really not very pleasant.

Being a champion was an opportunity for Ron, but it was also a challenge.

As things stood, Ron had performed poorly, and doubts about him even begun to emerge within Gryffindor.

However, Ron himself did not care about this, he felt good about himself.

He was in a much better position than Harry was when he became a champion in the original plot. At least Evan, Harry, Hermione and the Weasley family all supported him. He didn’t dream of things like Voldemort, didn’t get scar pain and have trouble meeting Sirius.

Nevertheless, on Friday morning, Ron and Harry had a fight with Malfoy.

The reason was that Malfoy was inspired by Hermione’s S.P.E.W. badges, he made badges to support Cedric Diggory over Ron, and all Slytherin students wore them on their chests.

This fight was very intense. Due to being outnumbered, Harry and Ron were both seriously injured.

Finally, due to Snape’s intervention, Gryffindor was deducted a hundred points, and Harry and Ron were also punished with one week of detention.

Ron looked mad, ready to take revenge and teach Malfoy a lesson.

However, in Evan’s opinion, instead of having this meaningless entanglement with Malfoy, it was better for him to learn a few more spells.

“You two should be calm, Malfoy did that intentionally to make you angry!” said Hermione at lunchtime.

Hermione had been discussing the Hogwarts Magic with Evan in the morning. They were a little late and missed the fight.

“Intentionally provoke us to be angry?!” Harry said indignantly. “That’s really good. His purpose has been reached!”

“I really want to learn that magic from Professor Moody and turn Malfoy into a big ferret!” said Ron.

He took out his wand and waved it like Moody, emitting a spark.

“Put away your wand, and don’t forget that you’ll have to check it in the afternoon.” Hermione looked at Ron dissatisfied.

Ron muttered a little and put away his wand.

Because the wands were the most important tools for the champions in the tournament, they needed to check that they were fully functional, complete and intact.

Professor McGonagall had just come to inform them that according to the arrangement of the Ministry of Magic and the school, Mr. Ollivander would inspect the wands of the champions this afternoon.

At that time, the champions would also be interviewed by the media.

In fact, Evan already knew about it two days ago. He had received a letter from Professor Lupin.

Besides the Daily Prophet, the Ministry of Magic also invited Hogwarts Magic for this special interview.

At present, many people accused the Ministry of Magic of inaction because of the World Cup attacks and the unfavorable capture of vampires. The Ministry hoped to highlight the upcoming tournament and divert public attention.

Under Professor Lupin’s management, the Hogwarts Magic, founded by Evan, was now the second largest newspaper in the British wizarding world after the Daily Prophet, and its influence could not be ignored.

Naturally, this interview mission fell on Evan, Harry, Hermione, and Colin.

Professor Lupin originally intended to send someone to help, but Evan refused. He thought they could do well.

This morning, Evan was discussing this with Hermione, and they would both complete the report. They already had a general idea, and Harry and Colin were to be responsible for the filming.

After lunch, Evan and Colin, who had no class in the afternoon, went back to the dormitory for a while, took the camera and arrived early in the room on the first floor.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione had the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, and it would take them a while to come over.

When the two of them entered, there were already some people inside.

It was a fairly small classroom, and most of the desks had been pushed away to the back of the room, leaving a large space in the middle; three of them, however, had been placed end-to-end in front of the blackboard and covered with a long length of velvet.

Several chairs had been set behind the velvet-covered desks, and Evan saw that Fleur and Gabrielle were already sitting there.

They were whispering in French, their long silvery hair shining in the sunlight with a dazzling luster.

Cedric and Krum did not arrive yet. In front of the desks, Ludo Bagman was talking to a witch who was wearing magenta robes.

“Ah, Evan, here you are!” Seeing Evan, Bagman quickly came over. “I am very glad that your newspaper and the Daily Prophet accepted the invitation of the Ministry of Magic to write on the tournament. This is Rita Skeeter, do you know her?!”

Evan shook his head. It turned out that this woman was Rita Skeeter!

Her hair was set in elaborate and curiously rigid curls that contrasted oddly with her heavy-jawed face. She wore jeweled spectacles. The thick fingers clutching her crocodile-skin handbag ended in two-inch nails, painted crimson, very strange just like the claws of some kind of animal.
