Chapter 362 The Secret of Rove
Finally this long day was over, and it was June 6th, two days after the Goblet of Fire ended, and there were still six days before Hogwarts closed for the holiday.
At breakfast time, Shaylin ostentatiously held Daphne's hand, and the two walked from the Slytherin dormitory into the Great Hall, talking and laughing.
The moment they appeared, they became the focus of everyone's attention.
In the hearts of all the young wizards, Shaylin is already the undisputed number one idol - as a fourth-grade student he defeated two adult students from wealthy families. There are even rumors that he was involved in a conspiracy against Harry Potter by an unidentified group of dark wizards, and he successfully rescued the little witch from Gryffindor who had always been at odds with Slytherin.
On the second day after the Goblet of Fire, everyone was already eagerly awaiting his appearance.
The young wizards who had some friendship with him all hoped to take the opportunity to say a few words to him. Even if it was just a simple congratulation, at least it would leave an impression on others. Now everyone knows that Schelling is the next Dumbledore. Maybe one day he can rise to a high position and make a fortune just by relying on this opportunity.
Even the little wizards who had never met him were looking forward to taking the opportunity to look up to him. He was a future celebrity in the wizarding world, and being able to study in the same school as Schelling was the closest moment to him - just think about it, after graduation, it was very likely that the ordinary me and Schelling would be people from two different worlds, and being able to brag to others that I was Schelling's classmate was enough to be a lifelong topic of conversation.
Unfortunately, Xie Ling was in his room yesterday and didn't show up at breakfast time. Fortunately, Xie Ling finally showed up today.
As soon as Shailling sat down at the Slytherin table, several senior female students from Ravenclaw came over to congratulate him. Some of them were members of the Transfiguration Club, and some were members of the Charms Club. They had finally interacted with Shailling at the club gatherings.
Xie Ling was not unfamiliar with them. When they gathered at the club, in addition to exchanging magical experiences, they would also have opportunities to chat and socialize. But in fact, he no longer remembered their names. At this moment, he could only pretend to be calm and respond with a smile.
Seeing them, Xie Lin couldn't help but think of a familiar name, that is, the Ravenclaw senior who had graduated a year ago, Penelope Clearwater. His friendship with Penelope was much deeper than that of the current seniors. When Xie Lin held the Patronus Charm Exchange Conference, he asked Penelope to help him promote it in Ravenclaw.
I don’t know how she is doing after graduation.
With the intelligence capabilities that Xie Lin has today, he has never heard of this name in the wizarding world.
After finally dealing with the group of Ravenclaw girls, the Hufflepuff wizards led by Cedric Diggory also came over to congratulate Sherin.
Cedric has always been an upright person. He came here sincerely to congratulate Shallin. He didn't care at all that Shallin stole the limelight of the whole match and made him, an excellent senior and Quidditch captain who was originally very popular, look pale in comparison.
But not all the little wizards following Cedric came to congratulate him sincerely. Schelling's "God of Amaterasu" was so sharp that he could observe every subtle expression of the more than ten little wizards in the group. One of the little wizards actually had a very subtle fear and scrutiny in his eyes.
It's interesting that a little-known wizard actually feels wary of me.
The corners of Xie Ling's mouth raised in an evil arc.
"Cedric, can you introduce to me who this promising young wizard is?" Sherin said with a smile as if nothing had happened.
"Ah, you mean Rolf?" Cedric was a little surprised, but he was honest by nature and didn't think too much about it. He just said, "Rolf Scamander, fifth grade, is an excellent prefect. You know the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", right? The author Newt Scamander is his grandfather."
The Scamander family?
This is a mixed-blood family that is relatively strong among the middle-class families. If it weren't for the fact that the brothers Theseus and Newt made a great splash in the Grindelwald Rebellion in the 30s, and Newt later wrote a book that became a classic textbook, not many people would have known about this family. Schelling had no contact with this family, so why was the little wizard in his family afraid of him?
Well, Shailling suddenly remembered something. Although the name Rolf Scamander did not appear in the original novel, in 2007, before he traveled through time in his previous life, Rowling once talked about the future development of several main characters in the novel on a TV talk show, and personally drew a Wesley family tree, which mentioned that Luna eventually married this Rolf Scamander.
Although this was a somewhat absurd assumption, Schelling's intuition told him that this matter was most likely related to Luna.
Xie Ling chatted with them calmly for a few minutes, but in his heart he was secretly concerned about the Scamander family.
Breakfast time ended in such a lively atmosphere.
The afternoon class is Care of Magical Creatures.
During the last week of the semester, except for Snape, who was particularly strict, most professors adopted a more relaxed and open teaching style.
Hagrid did not prepare any magical creatures this time. Instead, he sat down with the students to discuss and summarize the learning outcomes of this semester.
Most of their time this semester was spent learning how to take care of the mutant species, the Blast-Ended Skewrel. Although this was of no help to their knowledge of magical creatures and exams, it allowed the young wizards to learn and experience how to deal with unknown creatures, how to explore and find ways to care for, or deal with, such creatures.
Several people gathered around the campfire and talked about their opinions. Even Draco no longer hated this class so much.
Of course, if given a choice, most of the young wizards, except Harry and his three companions, would still prefer Professor Grubbly-Plank's unicorn course.
The next step is to announce the results of the final exams.
Harry and Shaylin were the champions of the Triwizard Tournament, and they did not take the exam - the best exam result finally went to Hermione, and of course Daphne was not bad either, ranking second.
It was not known whether it was due to the earlier conflict between the Slytherin wizards and Hagrid or for some other reason, but most of the Slytherin wizards did not do well in this subject. Draco's performance was not even as good as Ron's, and he was severely ridiculed by the latter.
Draco was naturally very unhappy, but he did not choose to rage in public this time, and even stopped Goyle and Crabbe when they were ready to fight. This time, he hid his resentment deep in his heart, although his eyes still flashed a fierce light from time to time.
After class, the few people who had no homework to do walked back to the castle, chatting and laughing. There were no other classes to attend in the following time, so everyone was chatting enthusiastically about where to go to kill time.
Xie Ling winked at his companions and quietly slipped away halfway.
Xie Ling did not intend to waste these precious six days at school. He still had a lot of things to do before leaving school for the holidays.
The next second, Xie Ling appeared in the forbidden forest. (End of this chapter)
