Yet Leonora did not share the majority of her family’s views on blood purity; instead, she chose kindness toward Muggles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iso’s father, William Saye, was a direct descendant of the famed Irish witch Mo Mo Ruigen. Mo Mo Ruigen was an Animagus who could transform into a raven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, William gave his daughter the nickname ‘Mo Mo Ruigen,’ for she had always been especially close to all things of nature…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This voice, like a broadcast, blended with the crisp crunch of snow under Bai Yi’s feet and Professor McGonagall’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where were you sorted?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Longhorn Water Snake, Professor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see… Olivia told me that sometimes all four Ilvermorny statues choose a single young wizard…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Professor. I chose Longhorn Water Snake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the table, Wizard Sean responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strangely, though they spent every day together, he rarely ate meals with his professors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Christmas tree was decorated with all manner of trinkets—from glittering holly berries to cats that never stopped meowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flowerpots had been enchanted; whenever the fireplace blazed, they sang Christmas carols. Hearing one croon “Oh, come, all ye faithful” was especially amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since the flowerpots only knew half the lyrics—Professor Snape had pulled goblins out of the large pots several times, for when the pots stumbled, the goblins inside made up their own crude, ugly verses to fill in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At such moments, Professor McGonagall and Wizard Sean would watch silently as Professor Snape hurled a goblin far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goblin would glance pitifully at Wizard Sean, then, under Professor Snape’s icy threats, sniffle and shuffle off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Christmas, the snow was good, and so were the wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snow tapped at wizards’ windows; wizards emerged from fireplaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At dawn, Wizard Sean would have to get busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to learn how to craft an Unextendable Storage Bag, and find the Cat Bao —perhaps Headmaster Iso could help him with that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond that, he was deeply curious about the ghost’s ultimate death… and wondered where the Headmaster had drifted off to now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tracing a ghost’s wandering path was harder than predicting how many points Harry would lose to Professor Snape on any given day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, Wizard Sean still had classes—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, Ilvermorny offered classes during Christmas too, but all were electives; young wizards could choose to attend or keep playing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professors did not teach complex knowledge, but instead treated lessons like magical games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, this description came from the appendix of the Longhorn Water Snake prefect’s lyric sheet—Wizard Sean felt his choice yesterday might have been just right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the prefect was very thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wonderful…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wizard Sean woke, a floating voice appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Headmaster Iso.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At all times, home is the foundation of love.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Iso smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean’s hand paused slightly on his book… how did she know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know, child. You’re curious about certain things—why not attend a Magical Creatures class?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ll enjoy our returning professor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the ghost’s ultimate death, I believe the story will grow richer when night falls.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Iso ushered Wizard Sean out the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Wizard Sean left, the cottage vanished. It was a peculiar disappearance—Wizard Sean knew that when he returned, the cottage would reappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Magical Creatures class?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Hogwarts, it was only available to third-year students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at Ilvermorny, it seemed open to younger students as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why, Wizard Sean thought, perhaps it stemmed from the founders’ shared tradition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had read in his notes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【After Iso became close friends with Puck William, William began introducing Iso to the various magical creatures he knew. They went on adventures together, fighting enemies side by side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They once battled bird-like man-eaters, observed the hunting of Horned Beasts, and watched newborn Cat Bao  play in the dawn light. A long-horned serpent lived in a nearby stream. Iso was enchanted by it—and it, in turn, adored Iso…】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wizard Sean stepped onto the snowy path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And looked forward to… Hufflepuff’s old senior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A truly “old” senior—by now, Master Newt should be ninety years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Wizard Sean’s quill never stopped, continuously sketching Professor Taira’s runic array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Constant study brought Wizard Sean good news:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He always handled magical rituals with ease, because:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Title: Advanced Alchemist】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Greatly increases perception of Alchemical Magic, greatly enhances Alchemical Magic talent, greatly improves wizard’s control over Alchemical Rituals】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the path of Alchemy, he would continue to advance swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In three more days, he estimated, he could complete a prototype.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wizard Sean entered the castle, he wore Ilvermorny’s school robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ilvermorny’s uniform was a robe of blue and cranberry, symbolizing James’s favorite cranberry pie and the Ravenclaw house Iso had once wished to join.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The robe was fastened with a golden Gordian Knot clasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Gordian Knot clasp commemorated their brutal war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a brooch Iso had found in the original Ilvermorny cottage—the ruins of the stone house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, this historical relic rested on Wizard Sean’s robe, though the young wizards did not know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exam tomorrow—two posts skipped.\u003C\u002Fp>",1004,"2026-06-19T10:00:41.888Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ed09e0ec642d864ca22f533120c8f13dd28c0d1d45513fc71bd6bcda03ff9b57","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-356","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-354",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
