Chapter 67

Harry Potter world.

Time flew by, and two months had passed since Chu Yang entered Hogwarts to study.

In fact, ever since the conflict between Chu Yang and the upper-year Slytherin students, those upper-year Slytherins had frequently harassed Chu Yang in private.

The result was predictable.

The Hogwarts infirmary was chronically overcrowded, to the point that it became so serious that Dumbledore had to personally step in to warn those upper-year students and some of their parents, telling them to settle down.

Chu Yang also became famous because of this.

In Hogwarts' nearly thousand-year history, there had never been a first-year student who beat up upperclassmen.

On one hand, because they were scared of Chu Yang, and on the other, because they had received a stern warning from Dumbledore, the Slytherin students had toned it down quite a bit.

Chu Yang's learning environment gradually stabilized.

It is worth mentioning that Draco still hadn't dared to live in the same room as Chu Yang, and for the past two months, he had been squeezed into the dormitory with Goyle and the others.

It wasn't until Draco's father—Lucius Malfoy—heard about this from others.

A furious Lucius rushed to the school and gave Draco a harsh lesson, scolding him for losing face for the Malfoy family.

Draco, who had been terrified of his stern father since childhood, was trembling with fear, unable to even utter a complete sentence.

Seeing him in this state, a sense of disappointment welled up in Lucius's heart, and the anger his son had displayed was directly transferred to Chu Yang.

If Chu Yang weren't a student at Hogwarts, he would likely have died inexplicably at some dark wizard stronghold in Knockturn Alley.

Those dark wizards might have received a generous reward from the Malfoy family after the deed was done.

But Chu Yang happened to be a student at Hogwarts, and he was exceptionally talented, constantly receiving the attention of all the teachers and students.

Lucius Malfoy couldn't do anything about him.

The other party had once tried to cut off Chu Yang's full scholarship, but was stopped by Dumbledore, and afterward, he received a warning from Ollivander, and the tone of the conversation was no longer as friendly as it used to be.

Ollivander's exact words were: "If Mr. Chu Yang loses his full scholarship at Hogwarts, then Ollivander's Wand Shop will fully support Mr. Chu Yang's studies financially."

Lucius was very surprised why Ollivander, who had always been unwilling to participate in disputes, would have such a firm attitude.

Driven by anger and curiosity, Lucius found out that Chu Yang occasionally went to Ollivander's wand shop to work as an apprentice, and had shown remarkable talent.

This led the elderly Ollivander to have the intention of grooming him as his successor.

Lucius was very surprised, sensing something unusual in it.

Under normal circumstances, the school would not allow students to work part-time outside, a rule that had never been broken, but Chu Yang received special treatment here.

Out of caution, he began to collect information about Chu Yang. He asked people to visit most of the teachers, asking for their impressions and evaluations of Chu Yang.

The result shocked him! Lucius had heard of and seen many people with the name of genius, but Chu Yang seemed different from the geniuses he knew.

At Hogwarts, whenever professors and teachers who had taught Chu Yang's courses mentioned him, they were always full of praise, including even the most demanding Snape.

Although their temperaments didn't match, Snape had to admit Chu Yang's talent.

Charms, Flying, Potions, Transfiguration, Herbology, Divination, etc., Chu Yang's grades always firmly occupied the first place, and everyone else was just here to compete for second. The more excellent Chu Yang was, the more mediocre and incompetent Draco appeared, which made Lucius, as a father, feel a bit of jealousy amidst his anger.

Why was a Muggle-born Mudblood even more excellent than a pure-blood family?

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the heads of the four houses favored Chu Yang. If it weren't for the rule that Hogwarts had never allowed students to transfer houses, these four heads would have started fighting over him long ago.

Professor Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff, was still upset with Dumbledore because Chu Yang went to Slytherin.

Before this, this lady had always been known as the best-tempered professor at Hogwarts.

After fully understanding Chu Yang's situation, Lucius, who had always been good at assessing the situation, gave up the idea of teaching the other party a lesson.

No matter how strong the Malfoy family was, they couldn't bear so much hostility at the same time.

Paying such a price for a Muggle-born little wizard was quite unworthy.

Interestingly... Lucius not only gave up on making things difficult for Chu Yang, but also had the idea of winning him over.

He had his eye on Chu Yang's talent.

So before Lucius left the school, he specifically instructed Draco to find a way to repair his classmate relationship with Chu Yang.

His father's sudden change of heart left Draco, who didn't know why, in a dilemma.

Draco, who was used to obeying all his father's orders, didn't dare to resist him at all. Compared to his stern father, Draco felt that Chu Yang was easier to get along with.

In the following days, Draco's attitude toward Chu Yang took a 180-degree turn.

Classmates could often see him arriving at the Great Hall early to prepare breakfast for Chu Yang, who woke up late.

From the perspective of others, Draco, who was running around, was more like a lackey than Goyle and Crabbe beside him.

With Draco, who had the most prominent family background, acting like this, others were invisibly a head shorter than Chu Yang.

Chu Yang turned a blind eye to Draco's attentiveness.

Because he firmly believed that "if someone is attentive for no reason, they are either a traitor or a thief," and the Malfoy family looked like they had no good intentions.

Therefore, after two months, Draco still hadn't been able to close the distance with Chu Yang.

Draco wanted to give up, but Lucius would ask about the progress through letters every week or two, which made him very broken.

To cope with his father's questioning, Draco had to lie, telling his father that he had become good friends with Chu Yang, which allowed him to escape the terrifying letter bombing.

But for Draco, this didn't mean the problem was over, because a lie was a lie after all.

Draco didn't want to be scolded by his father again, so he made up his mind to become real friends with Chu Yang.

The arrival of Halloween made most of the teachers and students very happy, except for Draco, who was in a depressed mood.

Chu Yang was excited in addition to being happy, because just the day before, Dumbledore finally agreed to open the Restricted Section of the library for Chu Yang to enter, which was a goal he had worked hard for two months to achieve.

Because of the lesson from Voldemort, Dumbledore was extra cautious when educating excellent little wizards. In the two months, he had examined not only Chu Yang's learning ability but also his character.
