“Hope this clears up!" Ron’s smile slipped slightly as he looked out of the window, which was now opaque with hammering rain.
His wish did not come true, and it rained even harder in the afternoon!
At 4:30 in the afternoon, Evan, Hermione, and Colin originally planned to go to the first training session after the reorganization of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, but they did not go out after seeing the weather. Harry, Ron, and Ginny left the castle with their broomsticks, looki...

“I can’t, they’re not technically doing anything wrong,” said Hermione through gritted teeth. “They’re quite within their rights to eat the foul things themselves, and I can’t find a rule that says the other idiots aren’t entitled to buy them, not unless they’re proven to be dangerous in some way, and it doesn’t look as though they are. As a partner in their business, don’t you have something to say?”

Since Evan got the Philosopher's Stone left by Gryffindor in the Centaurs’ tribe three years ago, he also gained their friendship.
That piece of magical stone had been stored in the Centaurs’ tribe for centuries, long enough for it to be endowed with countless additional meanings by the Centaurs. It was simply a sacred existence that could be compared with the stars and the beliefs of the ancestors.
As the current owner of the Philosopher's Stone, Evan naturally had a high sta...

Umbridge was now probably ready to implement her education reform steadily. The last failures of Evan and Harry and the research of many think tanks in the Ministry of Magic had made her realize that she could not rush or use magic methods. Magic was not her strong suit, and there were far too many people at Hogwarts who were better at it than she was!
If she continued to rely on her magic power, she might not even know how she was killed.
Her advantage was the authority giv...

Harry let go of Neville, who stood panting and glaring at him.
"Why did you stop me?" he asked angrily.
“I had to stop you,” Harry gasped, picking up his bag. “Crabbe and Goyle would’ve torn you apart."
"Neville, we..." Hermione paused, not knowing what to say.
She shouldn't be talking about Neville's parents here; it was supposed to be a secret, something they had sworn not to tell anyone.
Hermione wanted to say that she understood Neville, but could the...

In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class on Monday morning, Evan met Umbridge who had returned.
There was a gentle smile on her face, and the scar was gone, leaving only a red patch.
As usual, Umbridge asked everyone to continue reading Defensive Magical Theory.
She didn't trouble Evan; in fact, she acted as if he didn't exist, just like Snape usually did.
The only difference was that her toad-like eyes kept staring at Evan, and he couldn't figure out what s...

Although Evan didn't care at all, his position as Head Boy being revoked by Umbridge still caused quite a stir at school.
In addition to sympathy and indignation, there were also many people who were gloating about his misfortune, mainly Slytherin students.
In their eyes, this was the consequence of defying the Ministry of Magic, and it wouldn't be long before Evan would be expelled from school!
Perhaps even Umbridge herself thought the same, but it was better not to provoke...

"Wait a moment, make your words clear. Which one was Michael Corner?” Ron demanded furiously, panting heavily.
“The dark one,” said Hermione.
“I didn’t like him,” said Ron at once.
“Big surprise,” said Hermione under her breath. “This is exactly why Ginny hasn’t told you these things. She knew you’d take it badly, harping on about it like you are now."
"What do you mean? Who’s taking anything badly? I’m not going to harp on about anything!" Ro...

"What, a curse?!" Several people looked at Evan in astonishment, making sure that he wasn't joking.
"There's no need to do that!"
"It's just participating in an interest activity group, but it feels like we're plotting a rebellion."
"This is a measure to prevent informants; it's necessary!" said Evan. "If anyone disagrees, you can still back out now, but once you put your name down, the magic will take effect."
Under Evan's gaze, several people obviously lowered their ...

"Do you think this is a sideshow or a performance? Evan doesn't need to prove anything anymore!" Fred said angrily, "Is there anyone in school who doesn't know his strength? And yeah, you really need to stay away from Ginny, The distance between you makes me uncomfortable."

His series of questions changed the atmosphere suddenly, and everyone seemed to be holding their breath.
Even Aberforth was listening, and he kept wiping the same glass with the filthy rag, it was becoming steadily dirtier.

"The truth is that Voldemort is back, and Harry and I saw him come back with our own eyes!" said Evan, looking at Zacharias straight in th...

Indeed, Fudge was not the type to keep his composure.
If the Ministry of Magic really had such a powerful weapon, he would have used it against Dumbledore by now.
But if it was not a weapon, what were members of the Order of the Phoenix guarding at the Ministry of Magic?
Or rather, what did Voldemort truly seek?
Ever since his return, he had remained elusive, hidden in the shadows, but he was plotting something in Norway and at the Ministry of Magic.

Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Colin all looked at Evan, and then turned their heads to look at the woman in the corner in astonishment.
Except Colin who had no idea who Mundungus was, the others were all well aware, having seen him many times over the holidays.
In their minds, Mundungus was a squat, unshaven wizard with short bandy legs, long straggly ginger hair, bloodshot baggy eyes, smoking foul-smelling tobacco, and always emanating a strong smell of mingled drink and stale tobacc...

Evan didn't really care about Umbridge. He wanted to ask Dumbledore about the situation with vampires, but Dumbledore didn't give him the chance. After dealing with the matter, he disappeared somewhere; certainly not in the headmaster's office.
Umbridge was not seen at school for several days after that.
Many people were speculating whether the scars on her face could not be removed, and she had no face to stay at Hogwarts.
If any professor encountered such a shameful thing,...

Harry had never been so happy before, as if it were Christmas. He swore to himself that he would imprint the scene before him, along with Umbridge's pleading and subservient demeanor, into his mind and never forget it for the rest of his life.
When he and Evan left Umbridge's office, he was still a little dazed, with a smile on his face.
It was only after passing through a dimly lit corridor that Harry calmed down, his great joy replaced by worry.

At five o'clock in the evening, Evan and Harry were in detention together in Professor Umbridge's office to receive their punishment.
As expected, she took out two black quills during their detention and placed them in front of both of them.
With a wide grin and a smug smile, she told Evan and Harry that proper pain could make them both more awake.
"But, professor, Professor McGonagall said you’re not allowed to use this dangerous quill anymore," said Evan.

Fudge’s worry about the students engaging in combat training had infuriated them, and at the same time made them more concerned about learning magic from Evan, especially Hermione, who was already thinking about this. Now that they heard Sirius's advice, she simply proposed to form an army.
Since that was what the Ministry of Magic feared the most, they wanted to do the opposite.
Even if they were discovered and expelled by the Ministry of Magic because of this, they would not h...

Salazar Slytherin had left Hogwarts a thousand years ago, and he carried with him a very powerful thing. Evan didn't know what it was, but he could confirm that there were the whereabouts of the Caduceus and pieces of the evil god's brain and body that were yet to be determined...
Regardless of which item it was, each was crucial. Amo...

"Did you see Sirius?" Harry asked.
He immediately slid off his chair onto his knees and crouched on the singed and threadbare hearthrug, gazing into the flames.
"Yes, I’ve just seen Sirius’s head in the fire!" Hermione assured.

Ron dived for the ground again, chasing the Quaffle. It was evident that this time he made a deliberate effort to control the broom's speed, avoiding crashing into the ground. However, his recovery from the dive was awkward, and he almost slipped off the broom.

"A Keeper who can't even catch a ball!"
"Look at him, he looks so foolish. Even a chimpanzee could ride that broom better than him."

"Alright," said Ron, controlling his broom as it descended. "The Starcatcher's response is really good!"
"Of course, it's a great broom, you should have seen Ginny's performance yesterday morning."

Harry was now like a radar; able to sensitively detect people who had had contact with Voldemort.
If Umbridge was indeed in cahoots with Voldemort, then something else would have to be done.
"What should we do?" Harry asked.
"Bump into her in the corridor, or make a surprise attack, or get detention by her again."
The key to this matter was not to arouse Umbridge's suspicion, and it was best not to be noticed by others.
The easiest way was to follow Umbridge, wai...

The scene in front of him was in stark contrast to the carnival party not far away, like two different worlds.

The Starcatcher represented the highest level of craftsmanship of the current brooms. Although the speed was slightly inferior to the Firebolt's, it was still comparable to the latest Nimbus series. Its thickness, size, stability and durability were unmatched by the long and slender handle of the Firebolt.
The feeling it brought was also different. Evan was confident that the Starcatcher could definitely exhilarate the rider, igniting every cell in their body.
