Rolf's Secret

Finally, the long day is over, and it's June 26th. Two days after the Goblet of Fire ended, there are now six days left before Hogwarts goes on holiday.

At breakfast time, Skylar held Daphne's hand in a high-profile manner, and the two walked into the Great Hall from the Slytherin dormitory, chatting and laughing all the way.

The moment the two appeared, they became the focus of everyone's attention.

Among the young wizards, Skylar is undoubtedly the number one idol—a fourth-year student who defeated two adult students from wealthy families. There are even rumors that he was involved in a conspiracy by an unidentified group of dark wizards targeting Harry Potter, and that he successfully rescued the Gryffindor witch who had always been at odds with Slytherin.

Everyone had been eagerly anticipating his appearance since the day after the Goblet of Fire ended.

The young wizards who had some connection with him were hoping to take the opportunity to say a few words to him, even if it was just a simple congratulation. At least they could leave an impression. Who didn't know that Skylar was the next Dumbledore? Perhaps one day he could rise to prominence and achieve great success, all thanks to this opportunity.

Even the young wizards who had never met him hoped to take the opportunity to admire his charisma. He was going to be a big celebrity in the wizarding world, and now being able to study at the same school as Skylar was the closest they could get to him. Just think about it, after graduation, they and Skylar might be from two different worlds. Being able to boast to others that they were once Skylar's classmate would be enough to be a topic of conversation for a lifetime.

Unfortunately, Skylar was lounging in his room yesterday and didn't show up for breakfast. Thankfully, Skylar finally appeared today.

As soon as Skylar sat down at the Slytherin table, several upperclassmen Ravenclaw girls came over to Skylar. Some of them were members of the Transfiguration Club, and others were members of the Charms Club. They had at least had some interaction with Skylar at the club gatherings.

Skylar was no stranger to them. During club gatherings, in addition to exchanging magical insights, there would also be opportunities for casual conversation and socializing. However, he had actually forgotten their names and could only feign composure and smile in response.

Upon seeing them, Skylar couldn't help but recall a familiar name: Penelope Clearwater, Ravenclaw alumna who had graduated a year earlier. His friendship with Penelope was much deeper than that with the current group of alumni; back when Skylar organized the Patronus Charm exchange, he had even asked Penelope to help him promote it within Ravenclaw.

I wonder how she's doing since graduation.

With the intelligence capabilities Skylar possessed today, he had never heard a single word about this name in the wizarding world.

After finally managing to deal with the Ravenclaw girls, the Hufflepuff wizards, led by Cedric Diggory, came over to congratulate Skylar.

Cedric has always been an upright and honest person. He came here to sincerely congratulate Skylar and didn't care at all that Skylar had stolen the spotlight, making his originally popular and outstanding senior and Quidditch captain pale in comparison.

However, not all the young wizards following Cedric were genuinely there to congratulate him. Skylar's "Divine Insight of Amaterasu" was incredibly sharp; Skylar observed every subtle expression of the dozen or so young wizards without missing a single detail. In one of the young wizards' eyes, there was even a very subtle sense of apprehension and scrutiny.

Interesting, a little-known wizard actually seems to be wary of me.

A wicked smile curved at the corners of Skylar's lips.

"Cedric, introduce me to this promising young wizard?" Skylar asked with a casual smile.

"Ah, you mean Rolf?" Cedric was somewhat surprised, but being honest by nature, he didn't think too much about it and simply said, "Rolf Scamander, a fifth-year student, is an excellent Prefect. You know the book * Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them*, right? The author Newt Scamander, is his grandfather."

The House of Scamander?

This is a Half-blood family that ranks relatively high among mid-level families. If it weren't for the fact that Theseus and Newt shone brightly in the Grindelwald Rebellion in the 1930s, and Newt later wrote the book that became a classic textbook, this family would probably be unknown to very few people.

Skylar had no dealings with this family before, so what was it that their young wizard was afraid of?

Hmm, Skylar suddenly remembered something. Although the name Rolf Scamander did not appear in the original book, in 2007, before he transmigrated to this world, Rowling had talked about the future development of several main characters in the novel on a TV interview, and even drew a Weasley family tree by hand, which mentioned that Luna eventually married this Rolf Scamander.

Although it was a somewhat absurd idea, Skylar's intuition told him that it was very likely related to Luna.

Skylar chatted with them casually for a few minutes without making a sound, but in his heart he secretly took note of the House of Scamander.

Breakfast time ended in this lively atmosphere.

The afternoon class is about the Care of Magical Creatures.

In the last week of the semester, most professors, with the exception of the particularly strict Snape, adopted a more relaxed and open teaching style.

Hagrid didn't bring any Fantastic Beasts this time. Instead, he sat down with the students to discuss and summarize their learning outcomes for the semester.

This semester, they spent most of their time learning how to care for the mutated species, the Blast-Ended Skrewt. Although this did not help with their knowledge of magical creatures or their exams, it allowed the young wizards to learn and experience how to deal with unknown creatures, how to explore and find ways to care for, or rather, how to deal with, such creatures.

The group gathered around the campfire, sharing their thoughts. Even Draco no longer disliked the class as much.

Of course, if given a choice, most young wizards, aside from Harry Potter and the Trio, would still prefer Professor G. P. Plan's Unicorn Course.

Next, the final exam results will be announced.

Harry and Skylar Champion Triwizard Tournament, and neither of them took the exams—the best exam results ultimately went to Hermione, though Daphne did well, coming in second.

Whether it was due to an earlier conflict between the Slytherin junior wizards and Hagrid, or some other reason, most of the Slytherin junior wizards did not do well in this subject. Draco's grades were even worse than Ron's, and he was ridiculed by the latter.

Draco was naturally very unhappy, but this time he did not choose to lash out in public. He even pulled Goyle and Crabbe back when they were about to fight. This time, he buried his resentment deep in his heart, although a fierce glint still flashed in his eyes from time to time.

After class, the group, now free of homework, strolled back to the castle, chatting and laughing. With no other classes scheduled, they chatted animatedly about where to kill time.

Skylar gave his companions a wink, and then quietly slipped away halfway through the journey.

Skylar didn't intend to waste these precious six days at school; he still had many things to accomplish before leaving for the holidays.

The next second, Skylar appeared in the Forbidden Forest.
