Chapter 181

Unknowingly, Sean had broken the curfew, but Mr. Filch had no intention of catching him, and even Mrs. Norris just purred while chewing on a small dried fish.

"You saw it, the office, ah, there's a fireplace..."

Mr. Filch couldn't say words of thanks; from the very beginning, he had had enough of those magic-wielding fellows.

He loathed them, disliked them, because he had never received a shred of benefit from magic.

Those wizards, they were either high and mighty or looked down on him; compared to being looked down upon, he would rather have people loathe him.

But today, he... felt a bit of expectation.

"Oh, I heard you learned another spell, Green?"

"Finite Incantatem, sir, it can end other people's spells."

"Ah, good, very good..."

He muttered to himself and returned to the office.

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he came out holding a wrinkled scarf,

"I mean, the scarf, if..."

Sean, who was shivering from the cold night wind, accepted the scarf with great joy:

"Thank you, Mr. Filch."

"I mean, of course, you're welcome."

The weather was getting worse and worse, and Sean, naturally, was a bit cold.

The Hogwarts uniform included a wool sweater, but wearing just one sweater was clearly insufficient to cope with the bone-chilling wind.

In other words, Sean's undergarments were too thin and too old.

If Sean were thrown in front of the Mirror of Erised at this moment, he would definitely see a thick, large sweater.

So Sean relied even more on the fireplace; sometimes Hermione would wonder if he had left something in the fireplace, otherwise why would he be in front of it all day long?

Staff Room.

In front of an ugly wardrobe piled high with teachers' robes, Professor Fuliwei watched with a smile as Sean ran over from behind two talking stone beasts:

"It seems you've learned Finite Incantatem well, Mr. Green."

Professor Fuliwei waved his wand, and without even chanting a spell, a thick stream of water surged from the tip of his wand.

"Finite Incantatem!"

Sean waved his wand, and the water disappeared; ever since he had quickly resolved Seamus's Aguamenti spell in class, the professor had started this kind of semi-dueling examination.

He was already used to the professor's sudden spells, and it must be mentioned that this had indeed improved his practical spell-casting level significantly.

At the very least, when the professor waved his hand, Sean could react to what spell it was and how to use Finite Incantatem to terminate it.

"Very good! Mr. Green. However, the Disillusionment Charm is very difficult; are you sure you want to learn it?"

Professor Fuliwei said in a high-pitched voice.

There will be another update later.
