Percy would just say: ‘Why does Professor Snape only punish you? Look for your own faults! Don’t give me any more trouble!’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they complained, they spotted Wizard Sean Green waiting by the door of the Hope Hut—this was not a common sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Owl’s question was extremely difficult for them, but for Wizard Sean, solving it was as easy as eating and drinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! You! Not allowed in! Little wizard! Little wizard with misplaced affections!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Owl cried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry and Ron exchanged a glance, their complaints vanished, and they began stifling laughter—yet they didn’t notice Hermione, who had arrived with them, already frowning beside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first they didn’t understand why, but after being scolded sharply by the Owl, they obediently stood aside:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little wizard! Foolish little wizard! Clumsy! Dull-witted! As stupid as Gryffindor! Unless you tell me one stupid thing Gryffindor did, you’ll wait!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Justin, carrying some cookies, became everyone’s savior; he glanced at the line of students and smiled confidently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me handle this. If Godric Gryffindor were still alive, he’d be the giant squid in the Black Black Lake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke with rhythmic cadence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Owl flapped its wings, and only then did they let them in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the hut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean reinforced his knowledge of ancient runes, then packed his things and prepared to head to the dungeons to brew potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was blocked in the corridor by the Weasleys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Which cookie did you pick? Anyway, I bet you did well!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fred said cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re the great Green!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George also looked excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh—how can we ever repay you? If the Weasley Wizard Wheezes really opens, we’ll give you a share!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fred winked; his act of gratitude was overly theatrical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A little bit—of course, two percent! What do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George took over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean sidestepped the twins and kept walking; if you started talking to them, you’d never know when the conversation would end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I bet you’re going to see a professor to engrave runes—oh no! Fred!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George suddenly exclaimed, as if remembering something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I remember, George! Oh, oh, Merlin’s beard—we don’t know advanced Transfiguration, so—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fred suddenly ran over and blocked Wizard Sean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve got to switch…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George patted Wizard Sean’s shoulder in a flattering way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes Wizard Sean couldn’t understand why the twins excelled in Alchemy yet never learned advanced Transfiguration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his wand; a small jar containing beetles opened, and the beetles transformed into an owl before their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Merlin’s beard!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fred stared wide-eyed at George, his expression screaming: “Did we just hit the jackpot?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The great Green!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George elbowed Fred, and both prepared to bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins were amusing; on the way to the dungeons, through bizarre tactics, they tricked Wizard Sean into giving them half-finished owl cookies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they looked at Wizard Sean with strange eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you need advanced knowledge of ancient runes for Transfiguration—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why not ask us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We got an ‘O’ in ancient runes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re naturally gifted at this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they tossed Wizard Sean a book and vanished through a hidden passage behind a portrait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Hundred Ways to Prank Ron\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean stood frozen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What… is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wrong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the twins reappeared, snatching the book and swapping it in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Engraving Techniques of Ancient Runes\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the swapped book, Wizard Sean silently opened the first page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he read, the brighter his eyes grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins were truly alchemical geniuses; their mastery of ancient runes was also exceptional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean was certain this was exactly what he’d been missing. When he reached the dungeons, his steps were noticeably lighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene caught Professor Snape’s eye—and made him inexplicably irritable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed with the owls’ comings and goings; when Wizard Sean stepped out of the dungeons, Sir Cadogan was waiting at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike usual, he silently watched Wizard Sean emerge, then angrily mounted his short horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That afternoon, a sudden downpour began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rain rolled down from the sky above Hogwarts like a pile of massive gravel… as if someone had shaken a tablecloth from a high window, all the scraping sounds merging into a noisy clamor as they fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The falling rain hissed, plunging all paths outside the castle into darkness… lightning flashed across the sky, and the heavens trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sir Cadogan dashed into the dungeons through the storm, shouting:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you understand? You foolish fool! Habituation to despair is a thousand times worse than despair itself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that night long ago, he charged into the dungeons again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh—my sir. He always willingly sacrifices himself for others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madame Violet was at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, Violet, I don’t actually think this is right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fat Lady grew angry and stomped her foot hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew what happened inside the dungeons, but when Sir Cadogan emerged, bruised and battered, he wore a “worth it” expression at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Snape’s black robe stirred without wind, surging like a roaring cloud across the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his destination—the spacious, beautiful circular Headmaster’s Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All manner of silver objects gleamed; beside them, the blackened kettle still bubbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wizard with long, white beard—Albus Dumbledore—sat behind his large oak desk, his half-moon spectacles slid halfway down his nose, his brilliant blue eyes gazing over the tops of the lenses at the storm outside:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah—Headmistress Daisie Devant, the tragedy and greatness of this world lie in this—it gives us no truths, yet still offers much love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absurdity reigns; love saves it.”\u003C\u002Fp>",997,"2026-06-19T10:00:40.768Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a45ed009834fcfc1fd30ff6b8a7e81e7b2fbbba40ee7c980d198cbd0dda1a97b","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-156","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-154",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
