Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

As for Ginny and Michael, they broke up right after the game!

Cleanly and without hesitation, Ginny dumped Michael directly, and she told him she didn’t need a loser.

Evan later heard that the most direct reason was that Michael was very unhappy about Gryffindor winning the game, especially the fact that he lost to Ginny, which was probably hard for him to accept. Ginny ditched him and he ran off to comfort Cho instead, and that’s how their relationship ended!

In short, this year’s Quidditch game ended with Gryffindor winning the Quidditch Cup and the end of two relationships.

Ron’s performance during the game was remarkable, and the few saves that turned the tide at the end were even more exciting.

As long as someone was willing to listen, he would talk to them endlessly about the game and his thoughts when he saved the Quaffle at the end.

The celebration party for Gryffindor’s victory was much smaller than in previous years, but Luna, with a live eagle perched on her head, attended the party and garnered the most attention…

After that, Hogwarts re-entered an inexplicable atmosphere, full of suppressed tension and worry.

But compared with the Wizarding World, it was generally much more peaceful here.

As a generation born after Voldemort’s defeat, many students had not really realized what Voldemort’s return meant. They just regarded this as an interesting topic of conversation, and those scary stories related to the Dark Lord excited them.

In the library, all books related to Voldemort had been borrowed, and almost everyone had a copy of the latest newspaper.

Everyone hoped to learn about Voldemort through books and newspapers, and understand this wizard called the Dark Lord and his evil deeds.

But in general, Voldemort and his evil magic were too far away from them! Besides, with Dumbledore around, what was there to worry about?

Unlike the relatively peaceful Hogwarts, as time went by, the Wizarding World had been turned upside down.

Rumors were flying, everyone was on edge, the streets were much emptier, and people feared the Dark Lord might suddenly appear in their homes.

Now, they knew about the disturbance in the Hall of Prophecy and the prophecy orb concerning Voldemort and Harry.

To quote from the newspaper: ‘Highly placed sources within the Ministry have confirmed that the disturbance centered on the fabled Hall of Prophecy.

Though the Ministry spokeswizards have hitherto refused even to confirm the existence of such a place, a growing number of the Wizarding community believe that the Death Eaters now serving sentences in Azkaban for trespass and attempted theft were attempting to steal a prophecy.

The nature of that prophecy is unknown, although speculation is rife that it concerns Harry Potter, the only person ever known to have survived the Killing Curse, and who is also known to have been at the Ministry on the night in question.

Some are going so far as to call Potter “the Chosen One,” believing that the prophecy names him as the only one who will be able to rid the Wizarding World of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.’

This speculation was quite close to the truth. Many people believed this matter and called Harry “the Chosen One”.

Of course, the names of Evan, Dumbledore, Sirius, and Caresius were also mentioned repeatedly. The wizards hoped that they, no matter who they were, could stand up and do something at this time, no matter what, as long as they could solve the current troubles.

After the Ministry incident, Voldemort was still missing, and the entire Wizarding World became precarious.

Evan was very skeptical. If this continued, these wizards would scare themselves to death first…

Besides this confirmed news, another major event was that Fudge had been officially dismissed and replaced by Scrimgeour, previously Head of the Auror Office, as the Minister of Magic. However, there were rumors of a rift between him and Albus Dumbledore.

In any case, Dumbledore had met with Scrimgeour, and the Ministry of Magic was about to introduce some new tough measures to ensure the safety of every wizard, search for Voldemort on the run, and strengthen the guard of Azkaban.

These measures, as long as the wizards with normal brains knew, would not work, but it was better than doing nothing.

As June arrived, the atmosphere in the castle suddenly changed.

It was still tense, but not the fearful tension due to Voldemort’s return. Instead, it was the tension of preparing for exams.

This was especially true for fifth- and seventh-year students, whose O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s were upon them at last. The results of these two exams would largely determine a wizard’s life and the career they would pursue in the future.

After all, being a Chosen One was not a job. No one could make defeating the Dark Lord and saving humanity and the world their lifelong career.

Now, Evan had completely joined Harry, Hermione, and Ron to study the fifth-year curriculum.

Their teachers were no longer setting them homework; lessons were devoted to reviewing those topics their teachers thought most likely to come up in the exams.

Hermione had been concentrating these days and she was spending a lot of time muttering to herself.

She was too nervous. Her grades were excellent, and her only weakness was the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

In fact, in the past few years, students had not learned any orthodox knowledge in this course.

After Umbridge left, Sirius returned to Hogwarts to teach this course.

Dumbledore probably didn’t have a suitable candidate, and Sirius was very willing to accept the position.

But to be honest, Evan thought he was not suitable. If he had to lead students to face dark wizards or a battle, it would be good to let Sirius lead, but as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, he was too incompetent!

He returned to Hogwarts again, and his biggest role was to deter Slytherin students.

This was probably the main reason they had been relatively well-behaved and hadn’t caused any trouble lately.

In addition, there was the ongoing conflict with Snape…

It was pointless, and trying to persuade the two of them to abandon this meaningless feud or take a step back was even more impossible.

In short, for the fifth-year Defense Against the Dark Arts class, after the Ministry incident, it was essentially self-taught. Sirius would teach everyone some practical dueling skills, experiences and spells, but these would definitely not be in the exam.

Evan helped Hermione re-sort out the magic and knowledge that might be involved in the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam, and practiced spells with her.

In the theoretical courses such as History of Magic, Ancient Runes, and Astronomy, he needed Hermione’s help.

In the last few crucial months, both of them made rapid progress. Evan’s strength lay in practical skills, while his weakness was theory, as he often didn’t know the standard answers to many knowledge points. Hermione was the exact opposite. They could help each other, provide mutual comfort, and complement each other…

Not to mention, there was also the Time-Turner. As long as their bodies could withstand it, they could go on indefinitely.

Usually at night, Evan would lead Hermione to find an empty classroom or secret room.

Another advantage of using the Time-Turner was avoiding Elaine.

Even so, despite Evan’s help in relieving stress and relaxing, Hermione acted increasingly oddly!

In fact, as the O.W.L.s drew steadily nearer, she was not the only person acting oddly…
