He gazed into the distance, and following his eyes, Wizard Sean’s heart skipped a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the woods, a cat leopard was watching them curiously from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cat leopards are proud and curious. That means a wizard must meet the gaze of their hidden, magical eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are intelligent magical creatures, capable of reading much from a wizard’s eyes. Thus, they rarely take to a wizard—most often, they simply vanish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for rare wizards, cat leopards will not refuse their approach; this is how Cherokee warriors successfully obtained cat leopard fur.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Scamander spoke slowly, as if telling a tale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he turned his head slightly, he saw the young wizard straining to widen his eyes, trying to lock gazes with the cat leopard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made him want to smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Distance is also an issue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gently reminded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean quietly approached the cat leopard; the feline-like creature tilted its head and stared fixedly at Wizard Sean with yellow eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You gained the affection of the magical creature cat leopard (unnamed) at expert level. Affection +50】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The interface chimed just in time; Wizard Sean’s breath was as light as falling snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cat leopards possess hypnotic and mind-reading abilities. Letting down your guard before such a creature is difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It means the wizard lays bare their entire inner world…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Newt added softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean stood not far from the cat leopard; the feline-like creature hesitated long, then finally vanished in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young wizard felt a pang of loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once, while talking to goblins in my herb garden, I parted some basil and found a giant weasel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike typical weasels, it didn’t flee or hide—it lunged at me and knocked me flat on my back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, it was a ground badger, a stubborn ground badger; I spent two months just getting it to stop ruining my herb garden.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Newt said, blushing slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean looked toward the snow-dusted treetops, knowing that earning a magical creature’s trust was a long and patient effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the many days that followed, Wizard Sean always found the cat leopard’s presence in his magical studies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wizard Sean finished cutting and shrinking a patch of ground, the cat leopard chased crows nearby in the woods;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wizard Sean shrank and then enlarged a yew tree, the cat leopard tested the ice’s thickness on the frozen stream with its paws;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wizard Sean finally succeeded in placing a patch of grass into his Wizard’s Book, the cat leopard tried to catch Bai Yi—only to be scared off by Bai Yi transformed into a great fire dragon, and didn’t appear to observe Wizard Sean all afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The internal space of the Wizard’s Book grew larger, and Wizard Sean’s skill grew increasingly refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few days, Wizard Sean could practice alone without mishaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His progress accelerated once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warm sun rose and vanished; winter snow paused and fell again; Wizard Sean spent every day with spatial and weather charms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a day of rain and snow, the three-day magical creature class—extended to five days—was nearing its end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Scamander would soon leave Ilvermorny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Wizard Sean’s time even more urgent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, just as the fifth day drew to a close, Wizard Sean achieved something:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You practiced the Splitting Charm at proficient level.

Wizard Sean stood contentedly at the cabin’s door, thinking this three-hundred-square-meter space would surely suffice for a few small magical creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>",1100,"2026-06-19T10:00:41.888Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a0428c6cb435558deddb300c169491e31f538e2ea20230ff5e7d4876b3b64ecc","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-362","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-360",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
