With extraordinary comprehension, I built a floating city at Hogwarts.

Hagrid will be in charge of constructing the maze.

Although the half-giant was not present, Dumbledore claimed him, stating that Hagrid would be responsible for building the brick wall around the maze.

· ········Requesting flowers···· ·········

Hagrid: Thank you so much.

According to the design drawings, the walls inside the maze will be entirely composed of high-density garden shrubs.

Levin volunteered to take charge of this part of the construction, inviting Miss Daisy, a centaur druid, and several other professionals.

Their collaboration will make the walls inside the maze both beautiful and functional.

After that, it's time to set traps to test the warriors' abilities. Whoever's design is adopted for the traps will be responsible for them, and all the Hogwarts professors will have to contribute.

"Finally, there is the safety of the warriors. I plan to add four more people to enter the labyrinth with two from the Ministry of Magic. Their duty is to protect the warriors and prevent those dark wizards lurking in the shadows from harming them."

Dumbledore looked intently at Levin and said earnestly, "Levin, I know about your relationship with Miss Granger and Miss Delacour, but I hope you can personally take charge of Potter's safety. Are you capable of doing it?"

.... .. ....

Before he could answer, Dumbledore immediately added, "The safety of Miss Granger and Miss Delacour will be the responsibility of the Aurors at the Ministry of Magic. I believe you will be satisfied with this arrangement."

“Of course!” Levin shrugged slightly, agreeing with the decision.

He had already decided that Cirira and Tonks would take charge personally.

“From now on, Severus, you are in charge of Polyakov’s safety!” Dumbledore turned to Snape.

Snape kept his lips tightly pressed together, but finally nodded: "I'm fine."

"Felius, Ms. Dumont's safety is in your hands!"

"Leave it to me with confidence!" Professor Flitwick said with certainty.

“And what about Mr. Krum?” Dumbledore asked, turning his gaze to Alastor.

“I’ll take charge of him.” Alastor nodded and added, “We must all remain vigilant and protect our respective warriors. The Black Lagoon giant squid riot is still unresolved, and we cannot let our guard down.”

Dumbledore concluded, “Each of you must do everything in your power to protect your warrior. If a warrior uses fireworks to call for help, it means they have chosen to forfeit the match. Of course, if a warrior’s life is threatened, you have the right to make the most appropriate judgment, with protecting their life as the top priority.”

Chapter 413 Zhang Qiu's Dream

Normally, the start of the summer term means that Levin and his Quidditch teammates need to intensify their training to prepare for the final Quidditch match of the season.

This year, he will still be working at the Quidditch stadium, but this time he will be involved in building the stadium for the Triwizard Tournament finals.

Shortly after the discussion ended, brick walls were being erected on the Quidditch pitch, sparking a lively discussion among the young wizards. They all guessed that Hagrid was preparing for the final match, but they were all very curious about what these gradually cut bricks would eventually become.

As the days went by, the brick wall began to climb upwards. Although its shape was still unclear, it was now certain that it was some kind of massive architectural complex.

With the brick wall providing cover, Levin could begin his work.

But during his free time, Levin suddenly noticed a strange change in Zhang Qiu.

In the past, although the two weren't inseparable, whenever they had the chance, Cho Chang would always come to Levin, seizing every opportunity to be with him.

But now they can only see each other briefly during breakfast and dinner each day.

During their limited time together, Zhang Qiu always tried to hide her inner turmoil, maintaining her usual calm on the surface.

However, Levin keenly noticed some subtle changes in her.

For example, she always chooses to drink very strong tea and coffee—you know, in the past she preferred sweet drinks like chilled pumpkin juice and strawberry syrup, which were suitable for girls, and she never drank such bitter stuff.

Furthermore, Zhang Qiu's concern for Levin seemed to have decreased considerably.

Normally, if she arrived at the auditorium earlier than Levin, she would always prepare a meal that suited his taste. However, he hadn't enjoyed this heartwarming gesture for several days now.

Of course, Levin is able-bodied and can still handle daily chores even without Zhang Qiu's care.

However, this unusual behavior still caught Levin's attention.

What puzzled Levin even more was that ever since they first tasted the forbidden fruit, he would go to see Zhang Qiu every three or four days. Even if he didn't come, Zhang Qiu would find an opportunity to entangle herself with Levin.

However, for the past week, Levin had been busy building the maze and hadn't contacted her, nor had she come to him. This had never happened before.

This is unprecedented.

Of course, Levin had no suspicion that the other party had changed their mind.

Every time they met, he could still feel the deep joy and love in her heart.

Therefore, he firmly believed that there must be some special reason behind this.

Levin guessed that Cho Chang was busy preparing for the upcoming OWL exam, which is the common wizard level test.

For young wizards at Hogwarts, this is a very important exam, almost equivalent to the college entrance exam. The results of this exam often determine which advanced courses wizards can study in depth in the following two school years, and even affect their career path after graduation.

In fact, every position in the Ministry of Magic has strict requirements for a young wizard's OWL score and their NEWT score in seventh grade.

Zhang Qiu is one year older than Levin, and this year she will be facing this important challenge.

According to Zhang Qiu, the professors began guiding them in exam preparation at the beginning of the academic year to ensure they could achieve excellent grades and obtain more certificates by the end of the year.

However, Levin felt that this reason was not enough to explain Zhang Qiu's recent mysterious behavior.

The reason is simple: Zhang Qiu was already an excellent student, and after drinking the intelligence-boosting elixir, her academic performance improved even further, making her a highly regarded academic star. Currently, she consistently achieves high scores in all nine subjects she studies, so the OWL exam doesn't seem to pose much of a challenge for her.

So, what exactly caused Zhang Qiu to act so strangely? Levin was filled with doubt.

He had considered asking Zhang Qiu directly, but he knew the girl's personality well. Zhang Qiu was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside; otherwise, she wouldn't have pursued Levin so persistently in the first place.

Once she's made up her mind to hide something, not even a nine-headed dragon could change her mind, and no matter how much Levin asked, he couldn't get the truth out of her.

Levin's psychic abilities do allow him to detect other people's thoughts, but this detection is only superficial. In addition, Zhang Qiu has also practiced Occlumency, so he can't figure out what she's thinking even with psychic detection.

Moreover, Levin was unwilling to use such methods on his lover, even if it was out of concern and worry.

If Cho Chang were an enemy, he might have countless ways to get her to reveal her secrets, but she was Levin's lover, and he was unwilling to use any means that might hurt her to uncover the truth.

After much deliberation, Levin decided to use a seemingly clumsy but direct and effective method—tracking.

He planned to secretly observe Zhang Qiu's movements to see what she was doing, and then catch her on the spot. That way, Zhang Qiu would have no choice but to tell the truth no matter how hard she tried to hide it.

Of course, while it's called stalking, Levin wouldn't actually be a fool and follow Zhang Qiu around like a stalker.

As a wizard, one must naturally use the power of magic.

Shortly after dinner one day, he timed it perfectly, and half an hour after Zhang Qiu left the auditorium, he used magic to locate the girl's coordinates.

Guided by magic, Levin quietly arrived at the library.

In a quiet corner, he found Zhang Qiu. The girl was engrossed in a thick magic book, her notebook spread out beside her, filled with annotations and key points.

Levin approached quietly, only to find that Zhang Qiu's face was as pale as paper, and her once lively and cheerful almond-shaped eyes, which he loved most, were now covered with heavy bags.

The girl's eyes revealed deep weariness and anxiety, a stark contrast to the Zhang Qiu he usually knew.

Levin walked over to her with concern and asked gently in a soft voice, "Zhang Qiu, have you been studying like this every day lately? How did you manage to exhaust yourself like this? You look severely sleep-deprived."

Upon hearing Levin's voice, Zhang Qiu jumped up like a startled fawn.

She instinctively pulled out her makeup, trying to conceal her haggard appearance.

However, Levin gently grasped her hand holding the powder compact and shook his head: "Don't try to hide it, Zhang Qiu, I saw it all."

Zhang Qiu looked up, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, but she quickly forced a smile: "I'm sorry, Levin, I just... didn't want you to worry."

Levin sighed deeply: "Why did you keep it from me?"

He took Zhang Qiu's hand, looking at her with unwavering eyes: "You are my lover, we are boyfriend and girlfriend, so what can't we face together? Tell me, what exactly happened? What is it that requires you to study so hard?"

Zhang Qiu remained silent for a moment, as if struggling internally.

Finally, she broke the silence, her voice soft yet carrying an undeniable firmness and determination: "For this OWL exam, I want to get twelve 'O's."

莱文听后不禁感到一丝诧异，他微皱着眉头问道：“为什么突然有这么强烈的想法？你现在的九门课月费群!8.,57?;66'!３4"42免费,提,?取?次元鸡刺?猬!菠萝看群简介加q无.偿..接五,!折代?购'

"Hundreds of books, free": Find books, new books are released irregularly. 'Isn't it enough that you can consistently achieve 'O' grades in your course?'"

Zhang Qiu shook her head slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes: "Not enough. Hermione mentioned last time that she plans to get OWL certificates of excellence in all twelve courses next year, and she even plans to occasionally attend divination classes for this purpose. Cirira and Penelope also obtained twelve OWL certificates of excellence back then, and I can't fall behind them."

Levin instantly understood: this was a competitive spirit ignited by Hermione and the two outstanding upperclassmen.

He embraced Zhang Qiu tenderly and gently comforted her, "Zhang Qiu, you don't need to prove yourself this way. You're already outstanding, and I'm incredibly proud of you. An OWL certificate isn't the only measure of a person's worth. I wouldn't refuse to look at you just because you lack three OWL certificates, would I?"

"What are you talking about?" Levin's words made Zhang Qiu chuckle. Then, she smiled and rested her head on Levin's broad chest, as if she had found a moment of peace and comfort.

“I know, Levin, I know how you feel about me.” She shook her head firmly. “But this is my own choice. I want to prove that, even in terms of grades, I’m no worse than them.”

Levin sighed deeply, realizing that Zhang Qiu's idea was no longer easily swayed.

What could he do?

Of course, he could only support his own silly wife.

"Alright, now that you've made your decision, I'll fully support you. Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

A hint of emotion flashed in Zhang Qiu's eyes: "Thank you, Levin. My biggest problem right now is that I haven't attended classes for three subjects and can only learn them on my own. I need to finish two years' worth of material for those three subjects in the remaining month or so... I need you to teach me in this area."

Levin agreed without hesitation: "Of course! Since you want twelve 'Os,' as your boyfriend, I'll definitely help you achieve this wish. I'll be your tutor and help you catch up on these lessons."

Chapter 414 Meeting the Sphinx

In the days that followed, Levin's life seemed to be divided in two.

Aside from repairing the maze, he spent all his free time with Zhang Qiu, giving her lessons.

With Levin, a true genius, as her mentor, Zhang Qiu's learning progressed at breakneck speed, as if she had sprouted wings, and she no longer needed to work day and night as she had before.

However, Cho Chang is not a super-achiever like Hermione or Penelope, so she still needs to spend a lot of time studying and practicing every day.

In particular, one of the three courses she was taking was "Ancient Runes".

This is almost certainly one of the most challenging subjects in the OWL exam.

Each of those runes is extremely difficult to understand; not only are they difficult to pronounce, but polysemy is also very common.

The same rune can have completely different meanings in different contexts. For Zhang Qiu, accurately understanding and using these characters, and grasping their connotation and denotation, is a huge challenge.

If she had chosen this course from the beginning and had enough time to slowly ponder and comprehend it, then mastering ancient runes might not have been a problem.
