Although Professor Quirrell now knew Cerberus's weakness, he still knew nothing about the obstacles the other professors had set up.
He naturally could not act rashly. After all, he only had one chance.
Ted was even less likely to touch that hornet's nest. He even had to keep the others in line and stop them from getting involved with Cerberus and the trapdoor.
The best way to restrain them was not to forcefully forbid them from meddling in Cerberus and the trapdoor. That might backfire by provoking their rebellious streak.
The right approach was to keep them too busy to think about anything else.
So Ted's little classroom was in session once more!
Ron and Jerry clung to each other, trembling.
Using the excuse of mastering the various practical applications of magic, Ted started an after-school tutoring course—Magical Practice Class.
Specifically, the five others formed one team while he formed another, and they held wizard duels.
Morning training, theoretical study, then practical duels in the afternoon.
After just a few days, forget Ron and the others—even Harriett, that little bundle of endless energy, was exhausted. At night, her head barely touched the pillow before she fell asleep, not waking until dawn. Sneaking out at night? Not a chance!
In just one week, they had forgotten all about Cerberus and the Philosopher's Stone.
By the time the after-school tutoring ended, they still had not remembered. Kids were like that—three minutes of enthusiasm, never lasting long. April passed without much happening.
The others were busy with their "after-school tutoring," Professor Quirrell was busy with who knew what, and everything else continued as usual. Everyone kept to themselves.
But Ted had finally completed another mission: Academy Model (Blue).
After more than seven months, he had finally accumulated 100 points.
He received 300 experience
