Time can heal everything, and it can also cover everything.
The sensational controversy caused by Ke Wen was gradually forgotten by people as time went by.
Of course there have been some changes, at least Kewen has now become a well-known presence in the entire academy.
At first, everyone was excited to have a word or two with Ke Wen. Gradually, the storm passed, and they still maintained their friendly nods when meeting Ke Wen head-on.
Even on the Slytherin side, most students have given up the idea of targeting Kewen.
…
Ke Wen stayed at the college during the Easter holidays because he will be in third grade next year and will have to study three elective courses.
There are five elective courses in total, including Divination and Arithmancy, Care of Magical Creatures, Muggle Studies, and Ancient Runes.
All third-year students must choose three courses, including one of two divination courses.
In the future, you can drop an elective course when you are in fourth grade, and the same is true for fifth grade.
Kewen basically didn't know much about these elective courses, so he needed to find information temporarily and briefly understand all the elective courses.
After the vacation, Kewen finally chose three courses: Ancient Magic Texts, Arithmetic Divination, and Protection of Magical Creatures. He wrote the selection results into an application and submitted it to Professor McGonagall so that the other party could arrange a class schedule for him in the third grade.
Time passed slowly.
In the final exam results, Kewen undoubtedly ranked first, with perfect scores in all subjects.
At the end-of-term dinner, Gryffindor once again ranked second in house points, nearly twenty points behind Slytherin.
Although Coven gained more house points this year than last year, firstly, Gryffindor lost the Quidditch match again, and secondly, the twins' night outings and classroom troubles deducted points from the house.
Of course, towards the end of the semester, Snape relapsed into his old ways and kept finding reasons to give Slytherin points and deduct points from other houses.
As the dinner ended, students began to leave the college and go home the next day.
And Kewen also spent a fulfilling second year in this world.
…
…
The night is bright and the castle is mysterious.
The same sorting ceremony, the same opening dinner, the same principal's speech, and... the same change of professor of 'Defense Against the Dark Arts'.
As the dinner began, Ke Wen glanced towards Ravenclaw from time to time, staring at the first-year female student named Zhang Qiu.
Kewen had paid attention to him during the previous branching ceremony. After all, he was the second orientalist in this college besides him.
The 'self-created golden finger' provided Kewen with memory information about Zhang Qiu, which gave Kewen a vague idea.
"Hey Coven." Wood said jokingly: "Which girl are you looking at? You're all fascinated."
This year, the person sitting next to him was Wood. He was beaten by society in last year's 'House Quidditch Cup' and was given a good lesson by the group of Slytherins.
A year of competition has made Wood no longer flamboyant, but has gradually become calmer.
At this time, Wood's joke brought Coven back to his senses. He shook his head with a smile and explained: "I'm looking at Zhang Qiu, oh, you call her Qiu Zhang."
"It turns out it's her." Wood looked towards Ravenclaw, then nodded in understanding, satisfied his curiosity and continued to eat.
"By the way Wood." Ke Wen habitually threw the finished lamb ribs to other students, and then asked Wood: "I didn't pay much attention to the news this holiday either. Did you have the 'Defense Against the Dark Arts' last semester?"
'Any news about the professor? And this year's new professor, Cooper Lance."
"I really have it." Wood had almost eaten, put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a napkin, then picked up an apple and said: "Professor Christopher Hein passed away last semester."
"Dead?" Ke Wen's eyes widened in surprise: "How could it be so serious?"
Wood shrugged, said with some disdain and contempt: "Didn't it all spread last semester? Professor Hein's life style was not good, so he hooked up with a foreign witch during the vacation, and ended up being kicked off a few boats.
He was discovered and eventually killed accidentally by the witch using a magic spell."
"Okay..." Ke Wen felt very speechless, and then asked: "What about this year's Professor Cooper Lance?"
Almost as soon as Kewen finished speaking, Wood suddenly became energetic and introduced to Kewen with great interest: "Professor Lance is amazing!"
"Oh?" Kewen concentrated slightly, looking forward to this year's 'Defense Against the Dark Arts' professor.
"Professor Lance is the deputy player manager of 'Pudmere United'!" Wood said with admiration: "That is my most admired team! I heard it is also Principal Dumbledore's first choice team!"
"Ball, team?" Ke Wen was a little dumbfounded.
I originally thought that Professor Lance this year was special in terms of strength and achievements, but after a long time, he turned out to be a Quidditch agent?
The sense of expectation that Ke Wen just had suddenly disappeared.
"Of course!" Wood didn't notice Covin's disappointment, and still introduced excitedly: "Pudmere United, Covin, haven't you heard of it? That's the oldest team in the 'Quidditch League'
!Won a total of twenty-two UEFA Cup championships! Two European Cup championships!”
Next, Wood started to introduce science to Covin non-stop, from introducing the team anthem of Puddlemere United to the team uniforms, and introducing current players to past celebrities.
Wood even introduced all the agents, team management members, etc. clearly, which shows Wood's admiration for this team.
Ke Wen had no interest in ‘Quidditch’, and he listened in one ear to the other throughout the whole process...
…
A dull month of college life has passed.
On this day, Ke Wen found an opportunity. On the way out of the library, he met Zhang Qiu who was also leaving alone.
"Hello."
Ke Wen turned to say hello to Zhang Qiu, who was one step behind him.
"Hi, hello, senior." Although Zhang Qiu has an oriental face, he does not have the subtlety of an oriental. He smiled and responded with a book in his arms: "I have heard of you, the most influential person in the college."
Ke Wen has become accustomed to the directness of Westerners in the past two years, so he accepted Zhang Qiu's comments with a smile, and then said: "May I ask, which country in the East are you from?"
"My ancestral home is from China." Zhang Qiu replied with a smile, and observed Ke Wen curiously, trying to determine Ke Wen's ancestral home from Ke Wen's appearance.
"What a coincidence! I'm also from China!" Ke Wen already knew the other party's information, but in order to find a topic, he just pretended that he didn't know.
"Really?" Zhang Qiu became obviously excited when he heard this.
"Do you know Mandarin?" Ke Wen suggested with a smile: "Let's talk in Mandarin."
Zhang Qiu nodded heavily, and switched to Mandarin instead of English: "Then it must—dah!"
The corners of Ke Wen's smiling mouth immediately twitched...
