HP: Becoming a Maiden Heartthrob

Chapter 251 Participation, Clearly

"Ced, will you be attending the Triwizard Cup?"

When they left the auditorium, most of the boys were discussing the Tri-Wizard Cup.

When Cedric went to lead the first-year wizards to their dormitories, the senior Hufflepuff students hurriedly called him over and wanted to ask about this matter.

Kade put his arm around his shoulder and asked.

The first-year Hufflepuff wizards also looked at Cedric with their eyes wide open, waiting for his answer.

The book "Advanced Interpretation Guide to Quidditch" was sold on a trial basis at Flourish and Blotts during the summer vacation. Thanks to Kerston's unexpected performance on the court, the book's sales exploded and it was almost impossible to get a copy.

Although he had never seen the book, the names on the pages - Kirsten Ender and Cedric Diggory - had already spread throughout the wizarding world.

Before entering the hospital, the young Hufflepuff wizards all had aspirations for Hufflepuff House, and they also believed that the champion of Hogwarts would most likely come from between these two people.

After all, these were the only two senior wizards they knew.

To everyone's surprise, Cedric shook his head at the inquiry, "I won't be participating."

"Why?" Most people didn't understand his decision.

"Are you kidding? How could you not participate?" Card exclaimed.

"I don't want to participate," Cedric said, and thought of Lillian's worried expression and sighed inwardly, "I'm too busy."

"What are you busy with?" Card asked doubtfully, "Didn't the Quidditch matches get cancelled during the Triwizard Cup?"

As the Quidditch captain, he must have plenty of time to participate in competitions when he is not practicing Quidditch.

Cedric said helplessly, "I have other important things to do this semester."

It was difficult for Card to persuade him now.

Because Cedric has other things to do, maybe something big like editing a book.

This is more valuable than the Triple Cup.

"What about Keston?" Card asked again.

This made the other young wizards look at Cedric with even greater anticipation.

Of course, the editor-in-chief and the champion Kerston attracted more of their attention than the figurehead Cedric.

Cedric smiled and said, "He will definitely participate."

"Great!" "Senior Ende is the best!"

The young wizards cheered.

Nalilian heard these vague cheers in the distance as she followed Kerston out of the auditorium.

She looked back as if she realized something, but was immediately brought back to her senses by Kerston who was leading her away.

"Lillian."

He called her and she turned around and looked at Kerston.

"There's something I need to discuss with you," he said.

Nalilian asked, pausing when she saw the path Kerston was taking her.

This seems to be the route to the Hufflepuff common room.

"Would you like to live in the prefects' common room with Thad this term?" asked Kerston.

Nalilian was shocked, "Are you sure this is allowed?"

Could she live with Said?

"I've already obtained permission from Headmaster Dumbledore," Kersten said. "He's worried that a lot of people will enter Hogwarts during the Triwizard Cup, which could put you in danger. After all, Crouch Jr. is still at large, so he agreed to this."

Nalilian paused and swallowed the words of refusal she was about to say.

Actually, this was not bad, because when Cedric looked at her, she was also looking at Ced, which prevented him from signing up for the Triwizard Cup, and it could also help her guard against Crouch Jr.

Meeting her silence, Kerston looked at her and continued, "In the meantime, you have to learn Occlumency from me."

"Occlumency?"

Narilean, who hadn't recovered from what she had just said, was startled by this, and then she understood what Headmaster Dumbledore had confessed to Kersten about her situation.

She could see Voldemort's vision.

This is a lie.

Nalilian frowned.

But even if this was a lie, it was a threat to Headmaster Dumbledore because she, like Harry, would be a camera used by Voldemort to monitor Hogwarts.

So be on guard against this.

She remembered that in the original book, Snape taught this spell to Harry, and Headmaster Dumbledore asked Kerston to teach her.

"But isn't my magic power disappearing?" Nalilian couldn't help asking.

Can I learn Occlumency as well?

Hearing her words, Kersten tightened his grip on her hand.

"It's nothing," he said. "You can learn it."

"Is that so?" Nalilian nodded in agreement, "Then I understand."

Kersten responded and led her towards the Hufflepuff common room.

Nalilian followed behind him, looking at his tall and straight back, slowly recovering from the shock just now, and then she broke out in a cold sweat on her back.

and many more……

Kirsten talked to Headmaster Dumbledore in such detail, maybe even talked about the fact that Harry, like Harry, was suspected of being a Horcrux by Headmaster Dumbledore, so he must know what she did.

But why didn't he blame her? He was even calmer than Said.

This made Nalilian feel a little helpless.

Is it because of...that?

When she thought about how this incident had changed Kston, she felt uncomfortable all over, especially when Kston was holding her hand. The constant warmth from his palm made her even more concerned.

"Um, Kersten," she couldn't help but ask, "you know Occlumency?"

"Yes," Kerston, who was walking in front, responded without turning his head, "This is a required course. Once you learn it, it will be convenient for you to interact with other wizards outside."

Nalilian shook her head in disapproval, "I won't deal with wizards who come to read my memories."

Kersten didn't refute her words, but just responded.

Nalilian was even more uncomfortable. She would rather he refute her and correct her than go along with her and indulge her.

It's too much.

The boundaries are too unclear.

There was no topic to talk about at this time, and silence fell between the two of them. Nalilian became more and more uncomfortable.

"Well," Nalilian could only bite the bullet and bring up the topic, "How are you going to teach me?"

Kersten simply told her, "You'll definitely learn quickly."

Nalilian was stunned. "How could you trust me so much?"

You know, she has no idea about brain occupation.

Kersten tilted his head to look at her, "Because you can."

Nalilian was stunned.

His eyes, looking at her, looked so gentle in the moonlight.

Her fingers trembled.

Why did she always mistake this kind of gaze as the affection between siblings?

This is obviously...
