Chapter 192 Hidden Items

The news that Jian Yu cast the Imperius Curse on Professor Moody in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class quickly spread throughout the school.

This explosive news made her even more talked about in school than the Triwizard Tournament.

Her evaluation among students became clear-cut.

Some people believed that her body and mind were contaminated by black magic, and they would even move away in fear when they saw her.

"After all, he is a Slytherin. You know, he stays with those people every day, and is influenced by them..."

"That's the Imperius Curse! Many dark wizards who were sent to Azkaban said that He Who Must Not Be Named cast this spell on them!"

But more people thought that she did this only because she was threatened by Moody and wanted to protect her classmates.

The Slytherin students showed her more respect, and the fourth-year snakes even had to wait for her to walk out of the common room door first before going to class.

The three protagonists in the Gryffindor common room felt that there was something seriously wrong.

"I was walking with Jade that day, and Moody stopped me." Harry explained to his friends, "He said he wanted to talk to her and clear up the misunderstanding..."

Hearing this, Ron suddenly took a deep breath. He looked around and confirmed that no one was eavesdropping. Then he said softly:

"Harry, think about it, maybe there's something wrong with Moody? Have you forgotten her prophecy -"

Hermione also realized this, and she whispered affirmatively:

"She must have discovered something... Jade wouldn't just use the Imperius Curse on anyone casually!"

This time all three of them took a deep breath.

"We have to observe. She must have her reasons for doing this!"

But after that chat, Professor Moody's attitude towards Jian Yu took a 180-degree turn. He treated her as if she were his own children, patiently guiding her and working hard on her teaching.

He didn't even allow his students to say anything bad about Jian Yu. If he caught anyone doing so, he would criticize them severely.

"Come on, come forward, it seems you also want to learn how to resist the Imperius Curse!"

In a Defense Against the Dark Arts class, his 360-degree magic eyes captured two students who were whispering about the Jian Yu incident.

The next second, the chalk flew out and hit their heads, leaving two big bumps.

"Don't let me hear you guys arguing about your classmates again!"

"I entrusted her to cooperate with the teaching just to give you all a profound experience of the dark arts!"

Various rumors about Jian Yu's black magic gradually subsided under his fierce offensive.

The upcoming Triwizard Tournament has become the main theme of discussion.

An announcement in the entrance hall that representatives from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang would arrive on October 30th immediately caused a stir.

In the following week, no matter where Jian Yu went, the topic he heard was the Triwizard Tournament. Who will be the champion of Hogwarts, what are the events in the competition, and the students of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang...

The castle is undergoing a thorough cleaning. The dirty portraits were scrubbed clean, and the characters in them grimaced in pain as they touched the exposed pink tender flesh; the armor in the school became shiny and no longer creaked when moving.

Perhaps because they were about to have a classroom exchange with the other school, the professors seemed more nervous than the students.

"I hope you won't bring shame to other schools." Professor Snape said in the Potions class, "I am so honored to have a class of students who can't even make the antidote for the shrinking potion, which makes my cellar glorious."

"Put down the fake wands in your hands! You are fourth graders, not first graders!" Professor McGonagall shouted at the students who were competing in swordsmanship with fake wands in the Transfiguration class.

Soon, the exhausted professors began to give Jian Yu a lot of instructions during the special class.

"Show more of the Hogwarts spirit, Jade." Professor McGonagall urged, "The students who come here are the elite of their school--"

Jian Yu agreed happily.

She had suggested to Dumbledore that some classroom exchanges be conducted with the other school.

For example, experiencing the special classes at Hogwarts, or inviting the principal of the other party to be a special professor to give students a few trial classes.

A few days ago, she even obtained a letter of recommendation written by the Flamel couple to Madame Maxime, the headmaster of Beauxbatons!

When she had gained enough favorability from the other party, she proposed the exchange student plan.

It is our responsibility to help complete the transfer plan!

......

It's not just the professors and students who are anxious. The castle manager, Argus Filch, is even more nervous.

Whenever a student failed to clean their shoes and left footprints in the corridor, he would fly into a rage and frighten two first-year girls into hysterics.

"I can't tell who's crazier, Filch or Moody!" they sighed.

The Weasley twins were a thorn in Filch's side and were repeatedly targeted.

“As you taught us, we are preparing to expand into new clients and new markets in Europe.”

Fred took a thick stack of order forms and ticked two boxes on the Screaming Yo-Yo and the Wolf Fang Flying Saucer:

"We have prepared a large quantity of goods, waiting for students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang to experience them—"

His twin brother George let out a long sigh:

"But Filch's eyes were like they were on our backs - between classes and at meals, you could hear him coughing every five steps."

"Last week we lost more than half of our Screaming Yo-Yos and Spike Saucers. They all ended up in his office."

Jian Yu calculated the loss of gold galleons and felt quite sad.

She thought for a moment and suggested:

"Why not do it in the Room of Requirement? Filch can't get in there -"

After the gaming machines were legalized, the club successfully moved the location back to the original 1.0 version so that every student could join.

The Room of Requirement was empty again, waiting for destined people like them to come.

The twins looked at each other, and Fred said with a grin:

"It's the same idea as ours. We were planning to sneak into Chencang."

George immediately took up the subject:

"You are welcome to come and inspect it - of course it would be even better if we could cast a few more traceless extension spells on our suitcases!"

Jian Yu was both angry and amused.

It turned out to be a spell aimed at her!

Carrying a large box of joke products, Fred walked back and forth in front of the Room of Requirement three times.

"I need a place to hide my joke products..."

The door appeared, Jian Yu opened it and walked in.

All three were shocked by the sight before them. They were standing in a room the size of a cathedral, with shafts of light from its windows and high walls built from objects hidden by successive Hogwarts students.

A wall of ramshackle furniture, a mountain of thousands of books, broken bottles of frozen potions... a stuffed troll, a rusty sword and a bloodstained axe... a broken bust of an ugly old wizard...

Fred and George began unloading the cargo and successfully added to the city built of debris.

Apparently, the goods they brought covered more than half of the 437 items on the list of prohibited items.

They covered the cargo with broken furniture and placed a tattered bust of an ugly old wizard on top.

In order to make it more conspicuous, Jian Yu covered the old wizard's head with an old and faded crown.

“It’s done!”

They clapped their hands, and began to collect things left behind by previous students, exclaiming from time to time.

"Look at this winged slingshot! The jewelry! The dragon eggshell! And this hat!"

"How much money can I get if I sell it——"

I have to say, exploring here is like opening an archaeological blind box.

But Jian Yu always felt something was strange.

It seemed like her palms were itching when she got the crown?

She picked up the crown again and looked at it in confusion, but the itchy feeling disappeared.

"Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind?"

That sounds very Ravenclaw.

I don't know which Ravenclaw student left this here.

She put the crown back on the old wizard's bust.
