According to “insiders,” this was the biggest story in the Daily Prophet in ten years, an exclusive obtained at great risk by reporter Rita Skeeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But given her habit of distorting people’s words and embellishing details, young wizards didn’t fully believe the facts—yet they were utterly curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The story spread like wildfire, some versions wildly fantastical—so fantastical that even En, after days of effort, had failed to replicate the cleaning broom sent by the Weasley twins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En rarely encountered such problems in alchemy; he could barely piece together the faintest clues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These days brought more rain, and En didn’t delve deeply into research—instead, one morning he arrived at the caretaker’s office door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A biting door handle hung on the door; after students had been bitten, they no longer loitered around the caretaker’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Filch hurried from inside the room; as he opened the door, he saw En studying the door handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For days since the broom had been taken, Mr. Filch had asked En no questions—only spoke in his usual tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Green, would you like some breakfast?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, could I have a bowl of beef bone soup?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En handed the broom to Mr. Filch; Mrs. Norris leapt onto En’s shoulder as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The cleaning broom’s precision has been improved—it can perfectly eliminate dirt. But I’m sorry, since I couldn’t replicate its function, I could only reinforce it slightly. By the way, you might try its Summoning ability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Filch held the broom, curious yet faintly fearful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En knew Mr. Filch had always felt this way about magic—he longed for it, yet when it truly came into his hands, he felt uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So En would help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May I come in, sir?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En asked softly; as Mr. Filch fumbled for a reply, En simultaneously removed the door handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, Mr. Filch watched the broom fly toward him from afar; his entire silhouette trembled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beef bone soup was delicious; for Mr. Filch, who knew no culinary magic, preparing such a pot required tremendous effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As En drank the soup, he effortlessly endowed the biting door handle with the ability to recognize its owner using his portable tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Mr. Filch wouldn’t need to wear gloves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also casually carved a small door into the wall for Mrs. Norris.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Hall remained lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hundred owls flew in through the open windows, delivering morning mail. En instinctively looked up; many owls circled above the tables, searching for recipients of letters and packages. Amid a sea of browns and grays, En spotted a white shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“White Owl” landed on En’s shoulder and nuzzled his cheek; En waved his wand, offering her a plate with meat and toast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She began eating with elegant poise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“White Owl” is a girl. When Hagrid told En this, En’s eyes widened. This made “White Owl” angry for the first time—she refused to deliver letters properly to En for a week, instead trying to drop them on his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at this—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Siting snatched a letter from an owl’s leg and suddenly gasped quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Daily Prophet’s Ten-Year Impact Edition.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone leaned in; Jia Jia Siting often read the Daily Prophet, but rarely did anything make him exclaim like this and share it with others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The ‘Triple-Great Hermes’ has arrived at the Uda Alchemy Assembly! The International Alchemy Assembly reveals a stunning revelation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita Skeeter—our special correspondent, quill trembling—reports: The youngest alchemist ever! Now the brightest alchemical comet of the century!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sincere author writes—alchemists have universally recognized his immortal status in the alchemy world! Rumor has it the Chocolate Frog Card Committee is preparing his biography…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regrettably, the author could not uncover his true identity (though possibly linked to Hogwarts). For further coverage, please follow the Daily Prophet’s Ten-Year Impact Edition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Note: His alchemical creations prompted Dumbledore to purchase three crates in a frenzy.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it’s an improved Lemon Drop—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think the Headmaster would do that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Weasley twins passed by, holding the Daily Prophet, and exaggerated their facial expressions toward En.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the long table, everyone stopped eating and gathered around the article.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Special edition this morning? I remember En attended some assembly…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo En stared at the phrase “Ten-Year Impact,” then suddenly seemed to realize something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“En—do you know if this is true—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hemin also voiced her question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes turned back to En.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the photograph in the paper—the reporter with jeweled spectacles, her golden hair styled into elaborate curls, teeth bared in what she clearly thought was a charming smile—En shook his head helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizarding news was always exaggerated, especially in this reporter’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En vaguely understood why she flattered him so—every bolded English word in the article revealed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rita Skeeter,” “extremely,” “regrettably.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, probably afraid he’d report her illegal Animagus status, especially since a legal Animagus stood right beside him at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too overblown, and mostly useless information… Aside from the mention of youth and Dumbledore’s unverified praise, ‘universally recognized,’ ‘brightest comet,’ and ‘rumored Chocolate Frog biography’ are all vague…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Siting analyzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His and En’s responses dampened the crowd’s heightened excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, so you think this is just another fake report?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hemin wrinkled her nose; she’d always thought this reporter’s articles were unreliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think it’s too lowbrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Siting suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hemin was momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Hall buzzed with shouts and exclamations; Rita understood young wizards’ minds—what kind of alchemical creation could make Headmaster Dumbledore buy three crates in a frenzy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this wizard was connected to Hogwarts, too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t know about hormones or anything else, but everyone knew Chocolate Frog cards—those figures stood alongside Headmaster Dumbledore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So who could this youngest alchemist be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En assumed the rumor would end here; after all, such an anonymous, exaggerated report probably wouldn’t convince many wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he ate quietly, he saw a group of Hufflepuffs huddled together, discussing for a moment, then excitedly joining others from different houses and heading toward En and his friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were two chapters at noon.\u003C\u002Fp>",1017,"2026-06-19T10:00:41.888Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","33c67ed38804aa392b1818712931125eff31270422037cda8d972ba84defaa32","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-238","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-236",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
