Irma reminded Chu Yang halfway to the forbidden book area.

In her memory, Chu Yang almost always left right at closing time, and if she didn't remind him, he would definitely be locked in the library all night.

In the quiet library, Mrs. Pince's voice appeared briefly and then disappeared.

The sun shone through the library window, and the sky gradually darkened.

The desk in front of Chu Yang was unknowingly piled with many books with long titles.

He not only memorized the complete contents of Apparition and Stretch Without a Trace, but also read some masters' insights on spells.

This includes Newt Scamander's understanding and expansion of the Unseen Stretch Charm, author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Newt Scamander is extremely skilled in using the [Seamless Stretch Charm].

His handbag was practically a miniature world.

Newt's ingenious ideas inspired Chu Yang greatly, immersing him in them and making it difficult for him to extricate himself.

"I know that acquiring knowledge can be very addictive, but it's also important to know how to balance work and rest."

A deep, resonant voice rang in Chu Yang's ears. He looked up and saw Dumbledore, dressed in a blue robe, looking at him with concern.

He reminded Chu Yang, "Today is Halloween."

"I remember it's not closing time yet..." Chu Yang awkwardly arranged the books on the table, preparing to put them back on the bookshelf one by one.

Dumbledore patted him on the shoulder to stop him, then said, “Go to the Great Hall. The Halloween dinner is about to begin. These books are on the table for now; Mrs. Pince will put them back in their place.”

"I hope you can convey my apologies to Mrs. Pince." Seeing that it was indeed getting late, Chu Yang hurriedly ran towards the auditorium.

……

The auditorium was packed with people, but the banquet had not yet started. Since it was Halloween, there were no rules about seating, and people from different grades and colleges sat together wherever they felt like.

Chu Yang looked around, intending to find a secluded corner to sit down, but soon he heard someone calling his name.

In the center of the hall, Draco, along with his henchmen Goyle and Crabbe, was clearing out a large area of ​​seats for Chu Yang, filling the table with food and gifts.

His outrageously exaggerated behavior drew attention, and he seemed oblivious to the mocking looks he was being given by those around him.

Draco smiled smugly and waved to Chu Yang repeatedly, looking like he was asking for credit.

Come here!

Why don’t you come over here!

Everyone around was watching the spectacle, and for a moment, Chu Yang felt a bit like a panda in a zoo.

He coughed lightly and turned his head to avoid Draco's hopeful gaze.

Then he saw Hermione waving at him.

Chu Yang strode towards Hermione's table, leaving Draco awkwardly standing there.

What's most infuriating is...

Ron stood up with Hermione and made a provocative face at Draco.

If this weren't Hogwarts' Great Hall, but his own living room, Draco would probably be smashing plates.

"That Malfoy guy is really good at causing trouble. He still doesn't know that Chu Yang hates being watched like this." Hermione shuddered as she thought of Draco's exaggerated performance earlier.

"If Chu Yang weren't a boy, I would have almost thought Malfoy was going to pursue him..." Ron chimed in, but as soon as he finished speaking, he himself was stunned.

Then, Ron, Hermione, and Harry all looked at Chu Yang in surprise.

"Damn it, don't look at me like that, I'm not that kind of person!" Chu Yang's eyelids twitched with anger, and he quickly explained, "If I'm not mistaken, it's probably because of his father."

“His father came to the school last time, clearly to cause me trouble, but nothing came of it. He must have had other ideas.”

The three suddenly realized that Chu Yang was already a renowned genius, and being an orphan, it was not surprising that he had attracted the attention of those families.

“But if he keeps making a scene like this, everyone in the school will think he likes you.” Hermione smiled slyly, as if she was enjoying the drama.

"I can't exactly beat him up again, can I? That doesn't make sense." Chu Yang shrugged helplessly, looking utterly hopeless. He wasn't afraid of being forced, but he was afraid of being persuaded softly.

"Alright, let's not talk about that. Harry, how's your training going?" Chu Yang shifted the focus to Harry, asking with concern, "The inter-house competition is coming up soon, and you're the Seeker, so you must be under a lot of pressure, right?"

Harry smiled shyly and said, "It's alright. At first, I thought you would be Slytherin's Seeker, which was a lot of pressure, but then you said you wanted to focus on your studies and declined the Seeker's invitation, so I didn't feel so much pressure."

Quidditch training takes up a lot of rest time, which conflicts with Chu Yang's eagerness to acquire magical knowledge.

His interest in Quidditch matches was nowhere near as great as his knowledge of spells in the book.

If he has more free time when he enters the second or third grade, Chu Yang might participate in Quidditch matches.

A moment later, Neville arrived at the auditorium right on time and sat down next to Chu Yang and the others. The Halloween banquet officially began, and everyone toasted and enjoyed themselves immensely.

Even Goyle and Crabbe were feasting, leaving Draco alone feeling sullen.

Inside the Great Hall... only the world where Draco was injured was achieved.

Chapter 71: The First Encounter with the Dark Lord [First update upon release, please subscribe!!!]

71.

boom!

The hall doors were pushed open, and Professor Quirrell, who was in charge of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, hurried in from outside, looking flustered.

This scene felt very familiar to Chu Yang.

"Troll! There's a troll in the underground classroom!" Professor Quirrell shouted before collapsing to the ground.

The auditorium was silent for about two seconds, then screams erupted one after another as students fled in terror.

"Quiet!"

Dumbledore, who was sitting upright in his seat, rose to his feet, and his powerful presence brought the frightened students back to their senses.

He said slowly, "The prefects of each grade are responsible for sending the students back to their dormitories. The teachers will come with me to deal with the trolls."

Under Dumbledore's instructions, the students left the Great Hall in an orderly manner.

Before leaving, Chu Yang took a final look at Professor Quirrell, who was lying on the floor pretending to be dead.

I have to say, this guy's acting skills are excellent.

No one present doubted his cowardice and weakness.

In order to gain experience in Defense Against the Dark Arts, Quirrell deliberately interrupted his teaching career at Hogwarts to travel to dangerous areas.

From this point of view alone, Quirrell cannot be considered cowardly.

Unfortunately, it was during that trip that he encountered the remnant soul of Voldemort.

Quirrell couldn't resist Voldemort's temptation and eventually joined him.

Quirrell became Voldemort's temporary Horcrux, bringing it back to Hogwarts and stealing the Philosopher's Stone that could resurrect it.

Not only did it fail, but it also cost him his life.

In Chu Yang's opinion, Qi Luo was a pitiful fellow.

If he hadn't met Voldemort, he might have become a beloved teacher.

Some have commented that if Quirrell had been more resolute, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

But how many people can stay true to themselves under the influence of the "Dark Lord"?

Chu Yang looked at him with pity.
