The owlery already echoed with flapping wings as the mail delivery party swept across the courtyard, feathers still damp with glistening moisture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The portraits in the corridor yawned and stretched. Young wizards emerged from behind tapestries, crunching through puddles on the floor with loud splashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They walked, laughed, and spread rumors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you hear? Justin’s detention was lifted because they defeated a werewolf in the Forbidden Forest!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Hufflepuff wearing a black-and-yellow scarf exclaimed excitedly. It was Ernie, a Hufflepuff of untold pure-blood lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not just that! I heard there was a troll too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver shouted loudly as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And a dragon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hannah, the new addition, joined the discussion with equal enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Susan didn’t know what else to say—what could be more powerful or more evil than a dragon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And the mysterious—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind momentarily stalled; she nearly blurted it out. Hannah broke into a cold sweat and quickly clamped a hand over her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The circle of Hufflepuffs around them were impressed; everyone agreed Susan was the most prolific rumor-spreader among the young wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, you’ve won the ‘Never Hungry’ Club’s Best Rumor Spreader Award—your final exam score gets ten extra points. Remember to collect them from your paper.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernie said admiringly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Justin and the others passing by couldn’t suppress their smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their detention had been lifted—an extremely rare occurrence. Though they hadn’t revealed anything about the fourth-floor room or the Forbidden Forest, Hogwarts Castle had undoubtedly become filled with new whispers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason they hadn’t spread the news was simple: exams were coming. Even though they were thrilled, they all agreed to wait until after the exams to properly boast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, no one wanted to be interrupted while memorizing the Goblin Rebellion by someone demanding a retelling of Professor Quirrell’s repeated betrayals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean was preparing to visit the school infirmary to bring some potions for Professor Quirrell—these remedies would help sick wizards recover faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Harry, he seemed to be nearly recovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the infirmary, Madam Pomfrey looked at the pile of expensive potions Wizard Sean brought, slightly surprised:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Child, this is far too much… where on earth did you get these…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madam, I brewed them myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Pomfrey gave him a peculiar look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young wizard using a professor as a test subject was rather unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Snape has inspected them. These potions are qualified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean knew Madam Pomfrey had misunderstood and explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me see them, child. All potions entering the infirmary must be confirmed safe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Pomfrey examined the potions for a moment, then exclaimed in delight:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qualified! Oh! Outstanding for you, child—oh—you’re Green, aren’t you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Pomfrey seemed to realize this belatedly, since most of her potions came from the dungeons, and lately, more potions had been arriving with the brewer’s name clearly marked: Green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you so much—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Pomfrey clearly admired him; she didn’t even mention the usual limit on how long patients could stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wizard Sean naturally placed the potions on Professor Quirrell’s desk. The curse upon Quirrell was severe—more severe even than Voldemort’s damage to his life and soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This surprised Wizard Sean slightly; he planned to visit the Forbidden Forest later to ask Hagrid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid knew a great deal about unicorns—he might know another way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Quirrell slept. Wizard Sean continued organizing his current plans: the Expert Alchemy title required only two more mid-rank alchemy creations; Transfiguration was less than one-fifteenth of the way to Master level…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, another notebook floated out of Wizard Sean’s pocket. The notebook appeared blank—even the ink from a quill was invisible to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Wizard Sean could write, slowly, painstakingly, and gradually untangle more possibilities from fate’s grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a loud commotion erupted in the infirmary. Hagrid squeezed himself through the door, sideways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time Hagrid entered a room, he looked like a giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat beside Harry, glanced at him, and burst into tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s—my—fault—I’m—such—an—idiot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He covered his face with his hands, weeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have to tell you—I told that villain how to get past Fluffy! I told him! He knew everything—everything except this—and I told him! You entered that room and nearly died—all because of a dragon egg! I’ll never drink again! I should be expelled and spend the rest of my life as a Muggle!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid sobbed loudly. Madam Pomfrey, who should have thrown him out, merely cast a Silencing Charm on him, then helplessly went to tend to a young wizard who had just broken his leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wizard Sean—I saw Wizard Sean—I heard he faced Professor Quirrell himself—I must be imagining things because I wanted so badly to apologize to him—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Hagrid’s arrival, the infirmary seemed to transform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he trembled with grief and remorse, great tears seeping into his beard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hagrid, no matter what, Voldemort would have found a way to know. Please, cheer up—we kept the Philosopher’s Stone safe. It’s gone now; Voldemort can never use it again. Have a Chocolate Frog—I’ve got a whole pile…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry looked helplessly at Wizard Sean again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We guarded the Forbidden Forest and drove Voldemort away, Hagrid. Much of that credit is yours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really…” Hagrid wiped his nose with the back of his hand. “That reminds me—I brought you all some gifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dumbledore gave me a day off yesterday so I could gather them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Hagrid pulled out looked like a beautifully bound leather book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I sent owls to my parents’ old classmates, asking for photos… I knew you didn’t have any of them… Do you like them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry couldn’t speak, but Hagrid understood completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And yours, Wizard Sean—though this might get me expelled. But you have to come with me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he seemed to recall something else, and his eyes filled with even more tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean followed Hagrid to an unremarkable, locked tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid glanced around, then pulled out a key and opened the door:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have three minutes. Go take a look, Wizard Sean. I don’t know what’s written on it, but they say the feathers of the Augurey hold extraordinary magic…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean immediately guessed what it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He entered the tower. Inside stood a book bound in black dragon leather, beside it a small silver inkwell with a long, faded feather quill inserted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the Quill of Acceptance and the Book of Admittance—the only method Hogwarts used to select students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean knew it would at least record the young wizard’s birthday; beyond that, he wasn’t sure.\u003C\u002Fp>",1089,"2026-06-19T10:00:41.888Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ccc5622e590916be313172040c39c41015ac11142be85fdc07fc5ef32b4c7ff8","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-233","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-231",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
