Oh, Wizard Sean!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Bruce, as if he had eyes on the back of his head, turned around and waved at Wizard Sean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon silently swallowed the words, \"What about the beating that Pist and I took?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean politely greeted the three seniors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the bell rang; as Wizard Sean was preparing to head to the Great Hall for dinner, he heard Senior Bruce's amused voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, during the few days you were gone, dealing with the disasters caused by those little wizards consumed a huge amount of our time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I often suspect they are also promising candidates for mischief;

Wizard Sean heard Hermione speak haltingly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You brought too few; I just happened to have extras...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she buried herself in her letters and stopped looking at Wizard Sean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean stood stunned for a few seconds; he saw that the blank pages inscribed with \"Gifted to Miss Hermione Granger\" had been torn out of the notebooks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed she had prepared them for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when Jia Jia Siting secretly asked him in the classroom what else Hermione might like, he likewise pondered for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mature notes for the seven core subjects of Hogwarts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mer—Merlin's beard—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Siting, with a look of \"I knew it,\" covered his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, belatedly realizing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I can't believe what I'm about to say—you are right, Wizard Sean.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wizard Sean stayed in the classroom for a while, mainly arranging a few things together with Jia Jia Siting and organizing and wrapping the notes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Siting repeatedly guaranteed that Hermione would not enter the classroom today;

in the second week after receiving this letter, he learned of the kind elder's passing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The letter paper in his hand was thick, as if made from some extremely tough material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dear Wizard Sean:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life will suddenly turn for the better at some moment;

candles cast flickering shadows within the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various glass jars were piled in the corner, containing strange biological organs floating and slowly rotating in viscous liquids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Snape's black robes swept across the dust-covered stone floor, like the wings of a bat unfolding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he once again saw that familiar handwriting, his gaze became complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The notebook was placed beside Wizard Sean; during every interval of brewing, he would find time to write down his records of the potion steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had grown accustomed to constantly correcting and improving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the wind flipped the notebook to a page filled with writing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Snape appeared not to care at all about Wizard Sean's brewing, yet his cold gaze had already swept over in an instant:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw only a few words, which were—The Use of the Nimbus 2000.\u003C\u002Fp>",1254,"2026-06-19T10:00:40.768Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e1ac02cfffd0bc1a4bc8b3751d1887506e804a4112d4676f8d6b73cbf2d7ed58","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-128","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-126",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
