Everyday Players at Hogwarts..

Chapter 359 lingering fears
A hall with double doors to the right of the Hogwarts entrance hall.

In addition to being used as a restaurant, all special events such as entrance ceremonies and welcome parties are held here.

There are four long tables in the middle of the hall, and another table for teachers as the upper seat.

The ceiling was enchanted and changed throughout the day, looking just like the real sky.

At lunch, most professors are present.

So the other students should also be more focused on eating instead of craning their necks like ostriches to look at themselves!

Harry and Ginny grabbed some food in the hall and hid in a room. He was still feeling frightened.

He had thought that after so many rumors about him, his classmates at Hogwarts would have gotten used to it by now.

Not to mention that when he was dating Ginny, he deliberately spread the news of the Triwizard Tournament - through Nick, whom he met by chance.

However, even so, when Harry was in the hall, he was still stared at with fiery eyes by almost everyone.

Even Professor McGonagall and the others were no exception.

Dumbledore, who had been eating lunch in the headmaster's office recently, also attended in his best attire, staring at Harry with his X-ray eyes that could see through people's hearts.

Professor Snape looked at Harry, then at the red-haired Ginny, his eyes filled with tears of emotion.

He also calmly took the handkerchief from Lupin, whom he hated the most, to wipe his tears.

Hagrid also cried like a tearful man. Yes, Hagrid also abandoned Alaspade, who was hiding in the house, and dressed up for the event.

It seemed that within less than one morning, all the teachers and students knew about Harry's love affair.

And they all regard this as a big deal.

It seemed that compared to Harry's romance, the Triwizard Tournament being held next school year was not a big deal at all.

Even worse was Ron, who kept a sour look on his face and glared at anyone who dared to bless Harry and Ginny.

But fortunately, Percy, Fred and George are not like Ron.

"Congratulations on becoming a part of our family." Percy shook Harry's hand enthusiastically, as if Harry and Ginny were getting married.

"Congratulations Harry."

"But if you - you should understand the consequences of not treating Ginny well." Fred and George said half congratulatory and half threateningly.

Then Harry took Ginny and ran away amid warm congratulations. On the way, they met Draco and others who had just finished training and had mud on their shoes and cold snow water all over their bodies.

Filch was cursing on the side, but obviously, facing the Slytherins, he didn't dare to put them in detention with this excuse.

After taking a seat in an empty room, Harry was thankful that at that moment, there weren't many people in the common room - only first and second years as everyone else was in class.

In the first grade, Ginny and her classmates don't have classes.

Harry's second year Herbology class was cancelled.

If there were more people around, he didn't know if he or Ginny would have the courage to face their feelings.

But on the other hand, he also began to wonder, why did the news spread so quickly when the others were clearly in class?
The Triwizard Tournament isn't important?
"I don't know where you got this information from, but the Triwizard Tournament hasn't been held for almost a century, so not many people know about it. Not everyone can memorize Hogwarts: A History like Hermione."

"And you didn't even mention the most important aspect of the tournament - fame and Galleons." "Each school has only one champion, and the person chosen is often equivalent to the best wizard in that school."

"There is often a considerable cash reward for winning the championship - based on past historical records, it should be around two thousand gold Galleons." Ginny whispered while leaning on Harry's shoulder.

She saw the confusion on Harry's face.

"When did you know that?" Harry asked, stroking Ginny's hair.

"Fred and George told me on Friday the 27th of last month."

"They were very excited, saying that they finally had the start-up capital." Ginny tilted her head.

The heat from her mouth as she spoke made Harry's ears and even his heart itch a little.

But Harry still keenly discovered the blind spot, "What? I found a good way to make Ron not worry about our relationship for the time being."

"Since when did we need Ron's permission for anything between us?" Ginny said in a muffled voice, burying herself in Harry's arms.

Harry cleared his throat. "You know, we only learned about the Triwizard Tournament from Hagrid at 9 o'clock at night, at the beginning of this month, on the Tuesday before last, after we finished training."

“11月27号到12月1号，可是4天的时间。”

"Ron also met Fred and even played together many times on the weekends."

"But--" Before Harry could finish his words, Ginny in his arms suddenly raised her head.

"But Fred and the others didn't say anything!"

"Ron will definitely be very angry and won't care about us anymore." Ginny blinked.

Sure enough, in the afternoon Charms class, before class, I mentioned that Ginny knew about the tournament a long time ago.

Ron quickly put Harry's 'betrayal' out of his mind, but Harry thought it might have something to do with Ginny's absence.

Thinking of this, Harry had an urge, an urge to go to the first grade with Ginny.

He suddenly thought that after he graduated in five years, Ginny would have to stay in Hogwarts alone for another year.

If anyone - you know, that guy Michael has a crush on Ginny.

After falling in love, Harry suddenly remembered how Michael treated Ginny.

He was also confused and temporarily forgot that Michael was in the same grade as him.

Just as Harry was thinking of the hundredth way to be wary of Michael and Ron was muttering to himself about how mean Fred and George were to him, the bell rang.

"Well, I want everyone to shift their attention from Harry Potter's face to your Standard Book of Spells, Level 2. We have reviewed the Dancing Charm, learned the Dilation Charm, and the Freezing Charm. In this class we are going to learn the most difficult spell of this school year and the one you will use the most in your life - the Universal Breaking Spell." Professor Flitwick stood on a pile of books.

"Michael, is there anything on Harry's face that reflects what we are going to learn in this lesson? You answer - the effect of the freezing spell we learned in the last lesson!" Professor Flitwick screamed.

"Universal spell - ah? Freezing Charm? The Freezing Charm is a spell that can freeze the target and stop it from moving." Michael said hesitantly.

"Very good, but that doesn't mean you can neglect your studies. The spell of the Freezing Curse, Immobulus (Immobilize All), comes from the Latin word 'immobilis', which means 'immovable'. You may have read in books that this spell can only be used on animals, but if your skills are advanced enough, you can also disable items with special functions such as Muggle burglar alarms." Professor Flitwick nodded approvingly.
