If I agree to keep watching, will you pay me? Oh… just some cookies will do…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean looked at Hagrid and suddenly realized that beneath his rough exterior, Hagrid was extremely thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid happily made a huge pot of rock cakes, cast a Softening Charm, and Wizard Sean ate until he was full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m so glad you like it… most people can’t even taste its flavor…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid wiped a corner of his eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean nodded, then raised his hand, where a small creature with limbs made of slender branches sat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tila, the tree-ghoul Wizard Sean had chosen, loved his pockets and arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since yesterday, it had even followed Wizard Sean out of the Forbidden Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In return, Wizard Sean had chosen the tree-ghoul for his next Magical Creature Cookie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It possessed excellent camouflage properties and proved extremely useful in special circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, after casting a Smoke Screen Charm, a wizard could transform into a tree-ghoul and hide in corners—anyone unfamiliar with Transfiguration Cookies would never guess it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But its ritual had become Wizard Sean’s challenge; he had discussed it repeatedly with Taila, yet still hadn’t settled on a solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean recalled the source of his last success: imitation and modification of the Polyjuice Potion. He now carried Advanced Potion-Making with him and soon found inspiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hogwarts welcomed another Thursday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The biting cold showed no sign of change. The Ravenclaw common room felt especially solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their match against Hufflepuff drew nearer, yet the entire Quidditch team’s morale remained low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could certainly defeat Hufflepuff—though Cedric was stubborn, Luo Jie was confident he could contain him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But beyond Hufflepuff lay Gryffindor, and their first-year Seeker—Harry Potter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had demonstrated exceptional skill in the last match, catching the Golden Snitch within five minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will he come?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Jie whispered to Prefect Penelope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He will.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prefect Penelope gazed at the soaring hawk outside the window, then at the official Quidditch schedule—next Wednesday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third-floor corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean knocked on the door of the Transfiguration office, carrying a box of magical cookies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come in, child.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall was reading a journal that looked like a newspaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as a master in Transfiguration, the professor never ceased her research. Influenced by her, Wizard Sean had read countless books on Transfiguration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Thursdays, she shared the latest draft of a journal with Wizard Sean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That journal was Today’s Transfiguration, focused on the latest developments in the field, including scholarly papers and industry updates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall had once contributed to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bathilda Bagshot, author of A History of Magic, had publicly praised Dumbledore’s student-era paper published there—a paper on interspecies transfiguration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall herself had once won the Most Promising Newcomer Award.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Child, these are… some Spirit Cat Cookies?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall asked with a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were actually his latest creation: Cat-Whisper Cookies, with proficiency reaching 【Entry Level】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They lasted a full minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what are they?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall’s interest stirred—no matter what Wizard Sean did, she always encouraged him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cat-Whisper.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cat-Whisper? Hmm… Cat-Whisper—?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall’s voice trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Transfiguration field hasn’t seen such a monumental breakthrough in centuries…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The transformed Professor McGonagall murmured to herself, staring at the bewildered Wizard Sean—he seemed utterly unaware of the magnitude of what he had accomplished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Acquiring the magic of Magical Creatures was, even in the entire history of Transfiguration, worthy of grand record.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizards had coveted the power of Magical Creatures for millennia, yet their only success had been using their fur and blood to brew potions…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it that they didn’t want Magical Creature power?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No—it was simply that they couldn’t achieve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magical Creatures had existed nearly as long as magic itself; some powerful ones could predict danger, command storms, or be reborn from fire…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Envious wizards had done countless things, yet never stolen their authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, Polyjuice Potion—why does it specify “can only transform into a wizard”? The reason is obvious: wizards originally intended to use it to transform into Magical Creatures, only to later discover it was utterly impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t tell anyone, child.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall suddenly heard her own heartbeat; she spoke with grave seriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean fell silent for a moment:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Professor Taila… she knows…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She doesn’t know, foolish child.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall whispered, then walked out of the Transfiguration office without expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Transfiguration Cookie alone proved the child’s astonishing talent in Transfiguration; she was certain he would surpass her—and perhaps even… Albus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could such talent be wasted on those superstitious Alchemists?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Headmaster’s office, the great stone gargoyle stepped aside on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Albus—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall’s voice was urgent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at this—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean stood alone at the door of the Transfiguration office; the professor’s reaction had been far greater than he’d imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly felt heat in his palm and looked down—the invitation to the International Alchemy Assembly had somehow floated from his bag into his hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【On this land of magic, what awaits us…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind sweeps across snowfields and deserts,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancient banners of symbols flutter fiercely on mountain peaks,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every curve of the Runic script hides an undiscovered legend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some wander lost in deep forests,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others are reborn in fire,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And we—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where shall we carve our inscription?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The International Alchemy Assembly, in three natural months,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awaits—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrival of legend】\u003C\u002Fp>",1074,"2026-06-19T10:00:40.768Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d429da209bb02217ef92d716729e031f3b7e810649ec304a3daa201c5438c76b","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-201","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-199",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
