Mysterious Journey
Chapter 1264 Extracurricular Tutoring and the Storm
At least, the vast majority of the teaching content before the "New Curriculum Standards" wasn't too challenging.
Apart from Charms and Transfiguration, which involve a lot of practical magic, the other courses are mostly based on theoretical memorization.
Perhaps the little wizards find Potions and History of Magic very troublesome, but from an adult's perspective, they're nothing.
After Professor Sprout's reminder, the parents in the Hufflepuff common room began to shift from one-sided listening to taking the initiative, helping their children analyze and solve their problems.
Whether it's study skills or certain difficult questions, they seem very naive in the eyes of adults—as long as there are objective answers, there's almost nothing to worry about.
"It looks like countless mini after-school tutoring classes are about to open. I hope everyone will have fun learning."
Looking at the gradually relaxing atmosphere in the common room, Erina turned to Hannah, who was flipping through the student handbook, and said with a smile.
"Hannah, you need to be careful later... your top three position in the class might be in danger."
Unlike Draco, the other "Moonlighters" don't have supernatural learning cheats. Their only advantage is Erina's advanced tutoring and exam predictions.
As parents gradually join the learning process, it's like each student has gained their own exclusive professor, and this change will inevitably show a surge in the initial stage.
"It's okay, you're here anyway. And even if everyone goes back to the same starting line, I'm not afraid."
Hannah said nonchalantly while diligently updating the prefect log.
Although she's a little silly compared to the other little witches, she still has her own pride and a very clear understanding.
Among the students in the same year, except for her and three other little witches, no one has touched the "effort" ceiling yet.
If others are setting off towards their own limits, then they have already begun to try to break through the limits, and the talent hidden in them is being realized little by little.
"...Don't be proud and complacent, Hannah. The world is not just about magic."
Mrs. Abbott glanced at her increasingly confident little princess, touched her golden hair, and said softly with a smile.
"Even if you are a prefect now and can easily deal with a group of drunkards, there will still be troubles you can't handle—"
"I haven't transformed yet. I actually have a set of magic armor like Erina's..."
Hannah muttered unhappily, subconsciously looking at the little owl pendant tied to her right hand.
Now she can levitate non-stop for twenty-four hours, reaching the most basic "Valkyrie" flight test standard.
It's a pity that the comprehensive flight test is too difficult. Except for Hermione, she and Luna haven't been able to perfectly pass the hellish written test.
"Well, if you can pass the exam, you can fly tomorrow—"
Erina raised her eyebrows and answered casually without turning her head.
"Exam? What kind of exam? Flying class?"
Mrs. Abbott asked curiously, clearing her throat and adding.
"Actually... when Mom was in school, she was also a key player in the Hufflepuff Quidditch team."
"Maybe I can't help with learning, but if it's a confusion about flying, I can still—"
"Magical numerical control test, multi-threaded numerical real-time diversion, turbulence calculation, fire control system simulation, group deformation modeling, three-dimensional spatial point calculation..."
Hannah gently clicked on her magic book, and a large pile of gently rotating "exclusive test" modules popped up in the air.
The sky full of numbers, lines, and graphics converged and rotated in front of her, like some kind of mysterious and obscure magical runes, making people dizzy just by looking at them.
At the same time, Hannah's innocent and lovely voice sounded.
"Mom, why don't you help me take a look and solve one at random..."
"...Mr. Benitez, what were you saying just now—what was the name of your town?"
Mrs. Abbott glanced at the dazzling patterns, calmly turned her head, and naturally changed the subject.
Sure enough, compared to the normal problems encountered by other students, the learning and troubles of her little Hannah are no longer something she can interfere with.
"..."
Erina glanced at the silly girl who showed a smug look like a little devil.
It's over, it's over, another little rascal has been born to bully her parents, besides Hermione.
"When did you become so bad? If you continue like this, you'll become Hermione No. 2."
"Um, actually, I'm Erina No. 2."
Hannah blinked, suddenly raised her hand and pinched Erina's cheeks, pulling them left and right without warning.
"Okay—don't look so sad, there's still 'Erina No. 2' for everything."
"Eh?! I'm not frowning—"
Erina shook her head, broke free from the other party's clutches, rubbed her sore cheeks, and subconsciously retorted.
"Maybe you can deceive others, but you can't deceive me..."
Hannah quickly approached Erina, and her amber eyes reflected Erina's face.
"You've been a little restless ever since you came out of the bedroom. What are you worried about?"
"I'm not restless—okay—I'm a little worried."
Looking at Hannah's clear eyes, Erina shrugged her shoulders and admitted helplessly.
"I just think..."
She raised her head and looked at the vine-covered ceiling.
"You said..."
"If Hufflepuff is experiencing intense parent-child conflicts, will the situation in the common rooms of other houses be even more severe?"
"Uh? Probably not—"
Hannah blinked and said softly with some uncertainty.
"The other houses have better grades than us, right? The other parents shouldn't be furious about grades..."
"...In fact, that's exactly what I'm worried about—grades are actually the easiest to solve."
Erina sighed lightly, looking at the peaceful common room with concern.
With Dumbledore temporarily leaving the school, most of the responsibility for maintaining campus order naturally fell on her as the head of Hogwarts houses.
Perhaps Deputy Headmistress McGonagall can share some of the work, but the core conflicts still have to be answered by her one by one—after all, she's the only one who knows what the "New Curriculum Standards" are now.
More importantly, as Grindelwald and Nearly Headless Nick believed, this is also an important assessment that will determine her future say.
If she can't take good care of Hogwarts, then the resistance and doubts about her independently hosting large-scale projects in the future will naturally not be few.
Fortunately, as long as we hold out until the parents' conference is over...
Oh no, the bonfire party in the evening, it'll be a perfect ending.
"Well... hopefully... there won't be any major problems in the common rooms of the other houses for the time being..."

Hooray! I've finally sorted out the outline, and I'll start bursting out tomorrow!
