before that, wizards referred to it as Shop No. 93—but you’ve certainly heard of its products:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wildly popular Weird Wizard Chess, the magical Animal Party Cookies, Anti-Curse Helmets, Instant Truancy Tools…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of these items alone was a bestseller; now they were all gathered in one shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>British wizards’ enthusiasm nearly overturned Shopkeeper Gert; she had complained to Wizard Sean more than once, demanding more staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean had no intention of missing the opening of Weasley & Green Magical Prank Shop, nor of refusing Mrs. Weasley’s invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he was deeply curious about the Burrow—a house entirely built by magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No alchemist would refuse to go see it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he would spend half a month at McGonagall Villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean easily planned his summer studies—study alchemy at the Burrow, practice Transfiguration at McGonagall Villa, then return to his familiar Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he had to find Professor Snape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dungeon was as dark and damp as ever;

he addressed his six teammates in a tone heavy with grim resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To win the Quidditch Cup, this is our best chance—we must consider whether this might be our only opportunity in a lifetime!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paced before his team, speaking to them,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re only one hundred and forty points behind Ravenclaw, and just one hundred behind Slytherin—win the Quidditch Cup, and we’ll reclaim the House Cup!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gryffindor hasn’t won in five years… there will never be another chance this good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wood swallowed hard, as if the memory still choked him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But we also know—we are the best, the greatest team in the entire school!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go on, lads and lasses!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gryffindors marched out with grim determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fight to the end, everyone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roger, acting captain, was giving a speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ravenclaw’s lead is unchallengeable;

his palms sweated with tension, when he saw a familiar paper airplane drift over:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Give your all—that is the greatest respect】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean nodded at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stands were already packed;

The match is intense; in just three minutes, both have shown the ability to end it instantly—my goodness—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crowd in the stands stared in disbelief; another burst into cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry Potter trailed Wizard Sean Green by only half a body’s length—failed to catch the Golden Snitch—Gryffindor lost in heartbreak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well done—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall beamed, standing to applaud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Professor—what are you saying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lee Jordan widened his eyes, glanced again at the scoreboard—weren’t they the losers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall froze for a second, her emotions complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Snape, however, began clapping—elegant, composed, deliberately loud—causing Minerva McGonagall to turn and glare at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Snape quietly stopped clapping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he suddenly thought, Wizard Sean participating in such a Quidditch match wasn’t so bad after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, this highly anticipated match ended amid stunned silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost everyone was replaying that thrilling moment in their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the festive atmosphere, the End-of-Year Banquet approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the banquet, a mysterious organization—the Castle Cat Club—had gone mad, turning Hogwarts upside down; in the days between exams and the start of vacation, they poured all their energy into this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew who came up with the idea of night-time searches; for a while, the caretaker’s office regularly held four or five small wizards at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Filch flew into a rage—these vile little brats had pushed him too far; he’d already given in so much, yet they kept provoking him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed their actions angered the Night’s Messenger; the black cat, symbol of good fortune, never appeared again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The frustrated Minister claimed they started searching too late; the Deputy Minister insisted the opposite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For these past few days, the Weasleys had nearly become Wizard Sean’s shadows, popping up from every corner around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes from flowerpots, their heads caked in dirt; sometimes behind windows, riding brooms; they even knocked on Wizard Sean’s window outside Ravenclaw Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>",991,"2026-06-19T10:00:41.888Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","af2cefc2119f7bdb084dfd9b50b672852661fdedd43b0fa7b764991103cb0fc0","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-242","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-240",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
