Peruvian Invisibility Smoke Bomb!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday afternoon, in the corridor. Fred burst out from behind a painting, clutching a black sphere; the moment he threw it, darkness swallowed everything—even “Lumos” and “Incendio” could not pierce it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wizard Sean could walk from corridor to Great Hall with his eyes closed, so the Weasleys’ hopes were dashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I told you the Great Hall’s aroma was too unfair—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fred cried out in mock despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So why must I choose your inventions?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean asked the mischievous Weasleys softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those old-fashioned things are so dull, but if you use our inventions—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fred seemed to have been waiting for this, and he exclaimed excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then Professor Tera might even take interest!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George picked up the thread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the professor is interested, we can get investors—just one phrase from Professor Tera: ‘Promising potential!’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fred grew even more excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wizards from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will flood us with Jin Jin Jialong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George winked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll understand Professor Tera’s standing in the alchemy world someday!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins spoke in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean ultimately chose Canary Cookies (or some other transfigured food) as his practice item. Along with the Howler, he had to complete both alchemical objects before Christmas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant he needed to learn the materials, fusion rituals, and magical rune arrays for both objects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overall, his time was growing tight again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was officially December. One morning, Hogwarts awoke to several feet of snow blanketing the grounds, the Black Lake frozen solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean stepped out of the castle with Professor Tera’s notes; outside, a crowd of young witches and wizards were running and playing joyfully in the snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Wizard Sean could now run and jump, he still preferred to stay quietly in the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lit dry grass in his fireproof jar with his newly learned 【Beginner】Fire Spell, then summoned two fire lizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They burned marks into the snow, then sprinted off in a flash, their flames fading until they vanished beneath Hogwarts’ snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long time, Wizard Sean pondered what to transfigure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Advanced transfiguration involving living creature to living creature—given his time, he could likely master only one in the short term.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The animal he had observed most closely, and the most intriguing option, was unquestionably the wizarding world’s messenger: the owl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean pulled out a scattered pile of parchment, waved his wand, and a flock of transfigured owls flew from his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Merlin—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron stared, dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s normal—Wizard Sean’s Transfiguration progress even surpasses some upperclassmen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Siting explained gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not just some—I think all of them…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron muttered under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Hope Cottage agreement was announced, the six young witches and wizards had grown increasingly inseparable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville were all in Gryffindor, so they often moved as a group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their destination was simple: meet up with Jia Jia Siting, because once they found him, Wizard Sean wouldn’t be far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You practiced one advanced Transfiguration at expert standard. Proficiency +100】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system notification chimed; Wizard Sean knew that even deep advanced Transfiguration was negligible against his hundreds of thousands of proficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by constantly exploring and practicing advanced Transfiguration could his progress accelerate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not forgotten how last time, expert-standard advanced Transfiguration granted him ten times the proficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His current priority was turning a living creature into an owl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall gave him some beetles as experimental material and repeatedly stressed the key to advanced Transfiguration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he carefully read the professor’s notes on owls, Jia Jia Siting and Hermione, watching the swirling snow, seemed to awaken some primal instinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they were having a snowball fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizards’ snowball fights differed from ordinary ones: when Jia Jia Siting dodged Hermione’s first snowball, he saw her wave her wand and chant a spell, and then snowball after snowball followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Siting knew that despite both being 【Skilled】-level in Levitation Charm, he still lagged behind Hermione.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he abandoned trying to control the snowballs with Levitation Charm and instead used “Water Spout” to create a wall that instantly froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching their fight, Harry and Ron quietly lowered their snowballs and picked up their wands instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their Levitation Charms had improved steadily through repeated practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh… what about Wizard Sean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the truce, Hermione frowned and whispered to Jia Jia Siting, watching Wizard Sean read his notes nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My mother said everyone’s joy differs, but true friends always feel each other’s happiness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised an eyebrow; Wizard Sean happened to look over just as Harry and Ron tried to sneak-attack Hermione, only to be turned into two snowmen by her spell. Wizard Sean’s lips curled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the blue and white, owls flew through the blizzard-lashed sky, delivering mail after arduous journeys. By this season, they needed Hagrid’s care to regain strength before taking flight again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Catch this big snowball—Great Green!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean heard a familiar voice; beside him, a fire lizard instantly swelled and swallowed the snowball whole, then charged straight at Fred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh no—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fred was chased in frantic circles through the snow by the fire lizard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George laughed until he couldn’t stand, then saw Fred barreling toward him—soon both were running in panicked circles through the snow, pursued by the same fire lizard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fred—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George cried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“George—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fred shouted back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another chapter in half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>",1002,"2026-06-19T10:00:40.768Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","50de6e4a1c44591dd79b94818babdb7b1fb341e5897d07d4a9985db71cf247d3","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-149","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-147",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
