Let me see. Ah yes…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First—Mr. Ron Weasley…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron’s face flushed bright red; he couldn’t believe he was being called out at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...he endured two dark days in the Forbidden Forest, fighting the evil forces to the end. For this, I award Gryffindor fifty points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gryffindors froze for a moment, then their cheers nearly tore the enchanted ceiling apart. The stars above them seemed to tremble faintly. Percy could be heard shouting loudly to the other prefects:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s my brother—you know! My youngest brother! Good heavens! What did he do!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They finally managed to calm down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second—Miss Hermione Granger… she faced the flames and conducted logical reasoning with calmness. For this, I award Gryffindor fifty points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione buried her face in her arms;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean and Jia Jia Siting shielded her—she was quietly crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gryffindors around the long table in front of them were ecstatic, jumping up and down beside the dining tables—they had gained a full hundred points!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Third—Harry Potter…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dumbledore said. The Great Hall grew eerily quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...he displayed fearless courage and extraordinary bravery. For this, I award Gryffindor sixty additional points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noise was deafening. Those students who could still count points in their heads while screaming themselves hoarse knew Gryffindor now had four hundred and ten points—a full one hundred and sixty-point increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were so close they might even surpass the smirking Slytherins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dumbledore raised a hand. The Great Hall gradually fell silent again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Neville Longbottom, Jia Jia Siting—both stood firm before fear and darkness. I award fifty points each to Gryffindor and Hufflepuff!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dumbledore smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve surpassed Slytherin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone had been standing outside the Great Hall at that moment, they might have thought an explosion had occurred—the cheers from the Gryffindor table rose in waves, louder and louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry and Ron stood up cheering wildly; Neville turned pale with shock and was immediately swallowed by the crowd rushing to hug him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gryffindor has four hundred and sixty points! R-on, I—I was wrong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seamus stammered an apology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slytherins sat frozen, their expressions far from pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there anyone else who did something?! Any more points?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percy was nearly frantic; one more point could turn the tide, allowing Gryffindor to overtake Ravenclaw and win the House Cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the least expected, from what might have been the lowest score in history, to this triumphant reversal—they were writing a legend!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s still more…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron snapped out of his excitement and looked at Wizard Sean, who was clapping for them with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His clapping stirred the entire Ravenclaw table; Ravenclaws seemed utterly unconcerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finally, I have one important announcement to make.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One among us possesses Gryffindor’s courage, Slytherin’s leadership, and, most precious of all, Hufflepuff’s kindness…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He successfully organized a brilliant counterattack and, alongside Professor Quirrell, defeated the dark wizard who infiltrated Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For his outstanding performance, Ravenclaw’s wisdom has shone once more—I award Ravenclaw one hundred points—to Wizard Sean Green!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ravenclaws rose to their feet, cheering loudly, their voices momentarily drowning out Gryffindor’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Any more points for Ravenclaw?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percy roared, as if he had lost his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prefect Penelope glanced at him curiously, a faint smile tugging at her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Flitwick waved his wand; the lone eagle painting soaring across the sky let out a loud cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The short professor beamed, first shaking hands with Professor McGonagall, then with Professor Snape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their moods had improved considerably; watching Wizard Sean surrounded by Ravenclaws, they found it oddly fascinating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Quirrell had just recovered his strength; upon hearing “alongside Professor Quirrell defeated the dark wizard who infiltrated Hogwarts,” he fell into a daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he clutched his head, lowered it, and began to tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hogwarts Express was nearing its destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to his earlier shabby suitcase, Wizard Sean’s now looked luxurious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside were clothes and scarves chosen by Professor McGonagall, countless vials of potion ingredients, and all manner of potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His suitcase had vanished overnight—twice—and after that, nothing else could fit inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, Wizard Sean had to place his letters and books inside the Sniffing Undetectable Expansion Bag given to him by Headmaster Dumbledore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Notably, it truly behaved like a Sniffle; if Wizard Sean didn’t pay it a silver Sickle as a fee, it would refuse to hand over its contents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Wizard Sean tried to forcibly take them, it would bite and strike—though its fabric form ensured it could cause no real harm, Wizard Sean still gave it payment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a tremendous roar, the massive red train arrived, steaming with mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wizard Sean, Jia Jia Siting, and Hermione sat together in the same compartment, all three felt a moment of daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The countryside outside the window grew greener, tidier; the train passed through one Muggle town after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to last time, this journey had passed too quickly; only when King’s Cross Station drew near did Jia Jia Siting and Hermione realize it was time to part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You promised you’d come visit me, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Siting was now more flustered than when facing a troll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We promise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione looked at him and spoke sharply; the sadness of parting lessened somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll come.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean agreed to Jia Jia Siting’s plan to meet in Diagon Alley; with Floo Powder, it wasn’t too difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, I still find it amazing—we’re all wizards born outside magical families…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Siting caught his breath and suddenly laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm-hmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spoke, they slowly walked out of the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A withered old guard stood by the wall, allowing only two or three people through at a time, so they wouldn’t burst out en masse and draw Muggle attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione’s family, Jia Jia Siting’s family, and Professor McGonagall all waited at the edge of the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Goodbye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Siting waved, his voice trembling,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My mother told me I needn’t be sad, because winter comes round again, and those meant to meet will meet once more.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1096,"2026-06-19T10:00:41.888Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ec69ae78692819ca1d40159d14ec42c983a04ca4a0134f6434b3a71d274b53cb","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-244","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-242",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
