The Forbidden Forest looked as if enchanted, every tree shimmering silver, and Hagrid’s hut resembled a cake dusted with powdered sugar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All water in the world will reunite—the Arctic Ocean and the Nile will merge in damp clouds. This ancient, beautiful metaphor makes moments of parting sacred…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Siting murmured words Harry and Ron couldn’t understand, waved vigorously, and vanished with the crowd in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Goodbye—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione was far more direct; she had wanted to say something as profound as Jia Jia Siting, but realized she had nowhere near his depth of such phrases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she blurted out a goodbye. But after taking two steps, she regretted it—why had she left her friends with an angry face…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could pause, Professor McGonagall led them without delay toward the Hogsmeade station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be honest, I’ll only miss her once she’s gone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron’s boots left deep prints in the snow on the return journey; his lips turned down, hands open. Harry nodded in understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, steam curled; up close, Hogwarts Castle was dusted with sugar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean didn’t notice—he was entirely absorbed by the *European Magical Education Assessment* in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It detailed the Durmstrang Institute and Beauxbatons Academy, and mentioned Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in passing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Wizard Sean didn’t yet know if he’d be going, he naturally wanted to learn more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the Alchemy Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean knocked on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come in, my student. As you suspected, after dinner, we depart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the office, Professor Terra was organizing a chest—it looked like an ordinary wooden box, yet it had swallowed her entire workbench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean stared without blinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Want to learn?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Terra smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We have plenty of time to learn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean hadn’t expected the professor to actually secure him a chance to attend Ilvermorny—and it seemed effortless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand, Professor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean nodded, picked up the *European Magical Education Assessment*, and moved to leave the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Professor Terra’s voice drifted over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve already been researching Ilvermorny. Good. Tell me, my student—what have you learned?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Terra snapped her fingers lazily; the wooden chair slid behind Wizard Sean on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, like Hogwarts, lies within a castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likewise, like Hogwarts, it is protected by powerful enchantments that render it invisible to non-magical people—only visible when shrouded in mist…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean’s voice echoed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One of its founders was a Muggle (the American magical term for non-magical people). Thus, Ilvermorny is widely regarded as one of the most democratic and inclusive great magical schools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the blood purity conflict, its founders endured a brutal battle to kill Gormlaith Gaunt, preventing her from blocking their founding of the school with her pure-blood ideology.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In truth, blood purity is meaningless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Terra nodded in satisfaction—she wouldn’t tell Wizard Sean she had once favored pure-blood ideology herself…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, breaking seventy years of prejudice required only a young wizard standing before her, curiously gazing at her seamless expanding chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she wasn’t a Muggle-wizard advocate either. If pressed to define it… she was a Greenist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know it in great detail. The only thing I’ll add is:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a student enters Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, they are first taken to the circular hall at the castle’s entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There stand four wooden carvings representing the four houses. Each enchanted statue decides whether it wishes to accept the student into its house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their reactions differ: the horned water serpent’s forehead crystal glows; the cat Bao  emits a hiss; the thunderbird spreads its wings; Pukwudgie raises his bow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Terra watched Wizard Sean with interest—entering Ilvermorny was mandatory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was curious where her student would be sorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Professor Terra finished, Wizard Sean found the Ilvermorny sorting section in his book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bell rang in Hogwarts—dinner was about to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean followed Professor Terra downstairs to the Great Hall, where Dumbledore, McGonagall, Snape, Sprout, and Flitwick sat at the head table, along with caretaker Filch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Filch had shed his usual brown coat and now wore a very old, moldy-looking tailcoat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students were numerous, seated haphazardly together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean held his book, carefully studying it—after all, Professor Terra had told him he would enter Ilvermorny as a transfer student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hermes, who returned with honor, once attended Ilvermorny. Eugenia Herrera will smile in her sleep tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Terra said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean was slightly at a loss for a response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt the unseen headmaster must be shrewd—of course he’d attended, but how long…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the transfer student status made Wizard Sean think of a certain legendary transfer student…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean ate his third Christmas pudding, focusing on the description of sorting:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ilvermorny professors generally believe:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horned water serpent represents the intellect of witches and wizards, favoring scholars; the cat Bao  represents their physicality, admiring warriors; the thunderbird represents their soul, drawing those who crave adventure; Pukwudgie represents their heart, drawing kind-hearted healers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In rare cases, more than one house’s statue may wish to claim the same student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such cases, the student may choose. Even rarer (occurring roughly once every ten years) is when all four houses wish to claim one student. Minister of Magic Seraphina Picquery of the American Magical Congress between 1920 and 1928 experienced this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She ultimately chose the horned water serpent house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All other cases confirm that when all four statues seek the same student, that young wizard is exceptionally outstanding.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third serving\u003C\u002Fp>",1002,"2026-06-19T10:00:41.888Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","698200042092422cf9ddc5f08e46ed01388cd3ac512fbd2807ad4c41d29344fe","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-351","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-349",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
