all the young wizards eagerly anticipated the castle’s fantastical, beautifully decorated halls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They exchanged gifts with delight, shared candies, and did the same in the Hope Hut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, Wizard Sean, I didn’t know you could carry all that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Justin’s words carried rare teasing, for when Wizard Sean pushed open the door, everyone had seen him swallowed whole by floating candies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean calmly placed the candies on a wooden cabinet near the fireplace; three of its six compartments were already full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with candies from others, all manner of strange snacks had filled more than half the cabinet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Justin was using a levitation charm to move some candies out of the cabinet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Try this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held up a blue, jelly-like candy shaped like a mouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, everyone heard Neville’s teeth chattering and crunching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s in my mouth!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neville panicked, sticking out his tongue to scrape away the “nonexistent” mouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Neville, I told you before eating—it’s normal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione raised an eyebrow, but her eyes sparkled with amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Try this—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Justin swallowed a red candy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They say Peppermint Imps make wizards breathe fire… Get back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching black smoke puff from Justin’s mouth, flames shooting from his ears and nose, Hermione’s smile widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cabinet, her compartment held many candies—but all were gifts from friends in the Hope Hut… and thankfully, that was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the wooden table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The biting vine, seemingly stimulated by the flames, slowly retracted its tendrils, flipping over the letter Wizard Sean had placed on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside the letter sat a small silver cat figurine—unremarkable in appearance, yet crafted with an extremely complex Transfiguration: Multiple Transfiguration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The principle of this advanced Transfiguration involves applying multiple transformations to a single object, making the Reversal Charm unable to undo the change at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s like an equation: you only need to find one unknown to solve it; now you must find several.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this perspective, you understand why its difficulty surged dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wizard Sean’s gift preparations today weren’t limited to this one, so his movements were swift…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A distant cooing sound echoed; a pure white owl perched outside Wizard Sean’s window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its feathers were disheveled, its beak clutching a feather from some unknown bird, and the owl stood tall and proud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it had just defeated ten other owls to land on this very window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oona, thank you for helping.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean looked up, placing several letters and small parcels beneath its claws, then set down a small tray filled with meat, toast, and salad to treat this diligent messenger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—As for owl names, Wizard Sean remembered every single one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Coo—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pure white owl rubbed against Wizard Sean’s fingers, then flew off with the letters in its beak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At another colorful window, Minerva McGonagall took the owl’s letter, gazing at the silver cat figurine; her eyes, like deep lakes, stirred only with gentle ripples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On her desk lay countless letters already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each bore a return address from Croydon; many were not replies, but the original letters returned by the owls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, however, the return address was no longer Minerva McGonagall, but a woman named Roland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman who had volunteered many times at Holyhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charms classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Flitwick remained energetic, standing atop a stack of towering books, his thin voice ringing out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, don’t forget the subtle wrist motion we’ve been practicing! A flick and a swirl—remember, a flick and a swirl. Pronouncing the incantation correctly is vital too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly half a month had passed since the last levitation charm practice, yet the young wizards still struggled to master it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, the classroom’s transformation left Professor Flitwick stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, Harry and Seamus had flicked and swirled, flicked and swirled, over and over—but the feather remained motionless on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Seamus, in frustration, jabbed his wand at the feather—and it caught fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, many young wizards seemed to have undergone uniform training: their pronunciation was synchronized, their gestures precise and steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, the feathers at least responded; some students even made theirs hover for several seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remarkable progress! Gentlemen, ladies!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Flitwick cried out in his thin voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I never thought a charm could be this simple—just follow your notes—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry heard Ron muttering excitedly to himself, and nodded in full agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you’re wrong,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry heard Hermione say bluntly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s Wingardium Leviosa—the ‘ard’ must be drawn out and clear.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think you’re better than Wizard Sean?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron’s face flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean beside Hermione:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve only got the old version—Wizard Sean’s levitation charm has improved more than you’ve evolved from a troll to a wizard!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione rolled up her sleeve, waved her wand, and said: “Wingard—ium Leviosa!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, well done!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Flitwick clapped his hands and called out,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look, Granger’s levitation charm is exquisite!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Near the end of class, Professor Flitwick kept Wizard Sean behind, holding a sky-blue notebook with a hint of wonder:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, a very direct method—fascinating. For beginners, it might even be significant—but my dear Green, the true secrets of charms lie far beyond these superficial details…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Flitwick praised him briefly, then spoke with solemn concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean knew exactly what the professor meant; he gave a quiet nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the sweet scent of pumpkin, Wizard Sean saw Hermione striding off proudly, and Ron, eyes alight with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron, desperate for the new notes, would have no time to badmouth Hermione now—and so she’d likely avoid the giant troll in the girls’ bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron’s mood wasn’t bad; he cared more about Wizard Sean’s notes than the annoying Hermione.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crept quietly among a group of Gryffindor girls:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Has the Green notebook been updated?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Gryffindor girl who shared a room with Hermione snapped irritably:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who knows? She says we won’t see it unless we practice seriously with her… Hmph—bookworm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a pity for Mr. Green; she must have given him some Love Potion...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a pity for Mr. Green—she must’ve slipped him a love potion…”\u003C\u002Fp>",1014,"2026-06-19T10:00:40.768Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","bcf0c0fc7196a28ef8b9fe011bf6fc4b61ffa0d2ca139eda3bfd78c45cffa63e","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-120","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-118",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
