Chapter 380: Two Days of Guarding

"Professor Dumbledore knows, but has always let the mysterious person lurk in the Forbidden Forest... how could he do this..."

Hermione's face was pale, as if something had collapsed in her heart.

"Don't worry, Harry, we are all here. And the Philosopher's Stone has been laid with a net by Headmaster Dumbledore, he doesn't dare to go... but why doesn't he leave? Just reluctant?... But why did it prompt him to drink unicorn blood?"

Jia Siting seemed to have been frightened by that scene last night too, but he still forced himself to analyze calmly,

In the Hope Room, Sean was not there, but Jia Siting's voice could also let the young wizards regain some reason,

"Because he needs to restore his strength... Harry, think, what else did Firenze say?"

His voice was gentle and powerful,

Harry's panic of the whole night was dispelled by reason:

"Only someone who has nothing and wants everything will commit such a monstrous crime? No no no...

To save one's own life, slaughtering a pure, weak, and helpless life, so from the moment its blood touches your lips, what you will have is a half-dead life, a cursed life—I understand!"

"Voldemort—slaughter?!"

Neville, after listening to a series of shocking Forbidden Forest events, finally lived up to expectations and fainted.

Jia Siting and Harry didn't speak at this moment, just moved him to the sofa.

"He hasn't killed the unicorn yet, his strength hasn't recovered enough."

Suddenly, a calm voice inserted into the tense conversation, and everyone was not annoyed by the sudden interruption. Instead, they were pleasantly surprised at the same time:

"Sean is back!"

Luo En shouted first.

"Sean..."

Even Neville's ears moved, and he crawled up from the sofa in a daze.

"Sean, you're back, how was the assembly?"

Jia Siting smiled stiffly.

"Sean, where is Professor Dumbledore?"

Harry asked full of expectation, Hermione trembled for a moment when she heard this word, but still cast a hopeful look.

"I'm fine... but Headmaster Dumbledore needs to preside over the assembly and won't be back within two days."

Sean's words made the atmosphere in the room sink.

"Headmaster Dumbledore is not here. By the time he kills the unicorn, restores his strength, and Professor Qiluo sends the Philosopher's Stone... Hogwarts will not exist. He will raze the school to the ground, or turn it into a school specifically for teaching Dark Arts! He won't let us go, because none of us will recognize his atrocities and join his dark forces."

Harry muttered in despair.

Sean sat in the main seat. He had already confirmed a piece of good news: Professor Qiluo's soul had not been completely cursed... they still had a chance.

England hadn't had any good weather since April, and heavy rain tapped on the windows, from the spire to the entire tower, as if to soak the entire castle.

The atmosphere in the room was very oppressive.

"We won't let him succeed—"

Jia Siting suddenly said, his voice carrying unprecedented firmness and courage,

"I saw him scared away by the centaurs, he doesn't dare to expose himself! Although the professor might not necessarily believe that the mysterious person is in the Forbidden Forest, there are still us!

If we can find him and take a photo of him, the professors will take over the Forbidden Forest;

Before that—

We will guard the Forbidden Forest, protect the unicorns—we will hold on to the end, not retreat a single step! We will hold on with the centaurs, we will hold on with Haige!

Mother said, a truly noble personality never surrenders!"

His almost daring words didn't make anyone in the room afraid,

Neville suddenly clapped tremblingly, followed by Luo En, then Hermione and Harry.

"Sean, we need your leadership, you are the most capable and wisest among us, please say something."

Jia Siting said softly.

Everyone's expectant, eager, fearful, and panicked eyes fell on Sean. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Voldemort is not there, but the desperate, manipulated Professor Qiluo will indeed come to kill the unicorn. They will find it hard to find Professor Qiluo, because at that time Professor Qiluo is basically in Voldemort's form. But Voldemort hasn't killed the unicorn yet, and has only started drinking unicorn blood. He is very weak, he must not dare to expose himself, let alone go head-to-head with the professors...

They just need to watch the unicorns. Without the Philosopher's Stone and without strength, Voldemort will at least be cautious for now.

Two days, after Headmaster Dumbledore returns, Professor Qiluo might be truly saved.

After all, the professor still has a squirrel biscuit in his hand.

Sean of course knew that the plan was not without loopholes, or even could be said to have many changes they couldn't foresee, but there was never a perfect plan.

He looked at the pairs of eyes here—in their hearts, they knew they didn't have any ability to resist, knew they wouldn't necessarily succeed, and even their bodies were still trembling, but they still didn't shrink back and would definitely persist to the end.

"I will make some improvements to the plan map. If you find anything, touch the signal on it and quickly use the Bowtruckle biscuit to transform and hide;

I will make five improved flying brooms before dark, with high speed, invisibility, and automatic tracking functions. Before transforming into a magical creature, you can choose to use the broom to travel, leave, or attract attention.

Two or three people in a group, with Haige, or the centaur Firenze.

—The third Round Table Meeting—we guard the Forbidden Forest until dawn."

Sean said calmly.

The room granted hope was silent for a while, then erupted in thunderous applause.

So the whole day today passed in an atmosphere mixed with oppression and excitement.

Jia Siting and the others went to find the professors, but the professors were not interested in their "centaur prophecy" and "return of the Dark Lord" nonsense, and even Hermione was given a long talk by Professor Fuliwei.

Sean poured out his magic power without reservation, and the dragon instantly expanded violently, turning into a huge wave of fire.

【You practiced an advanced Transfiguration spell at the master's standard, proficiency +3000】

Sean cast the spell again, and a stone instantly turned into a stone statue guard over a meter high that could move freely.

【You practiced an advanced Transfiguration spell at the master's standard, proficiency +3000】

A few seconds later, Sean put down his wand.

His Transfiguration was already approaching the master level. Although he still didn't think he could confront Professor Qiluo, he could at least send a signal and delay for a little time.

This little time was enough for others to arrive or to ride a broom to find the professors who were "catching students night-wandering in the Forbidden Forest" in a crisis.

This was their backup plan—besides the four people in detention, Sean and Neville could also be charged with night-wandering in the Forbidden Forest.

But as a last resort, this couldn't be enabled. Night-wandering in the Forbidden Forest? Two crimes satisfied at once—Hogwarts school rules were not to be trifled with.

In the wind and rain.

Which unicorn would the weak Voldemort choose?

This was not a difficult result to guess. Haige and the centaurs could briefly protect the safety of others. ===== CHAPTER 381 =====
