Chapter 382: Seeing the Light of Day

The sky gradually darkened. At this tense moment, a witch suddenly appeared at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, making everyone feel relieved instantly.

Under the beech tree, the dark Forbidden Forest looked even more ferocious.

The tall, serious-looking Professor Marcus Maige wore a green robe. She just stood there, and the little wizards' hanging hearts all fell into their stomachs.

"Neville... you actually called Professor Marcus Maige here—"

Hermione's eyes were bright, looking at the cowering Neville.

"No, it's not... it's"

Neville blushed nervously. He recalled the corridor in the afternoon:

"Mr. Longbottom, you shouldn't use such nonsense to deceive others—"

Professor Marcus Maige's severe face looked even more oppressive.

"No, it's not, nonsense, everyone knows..."

Neville stammered.

"Who else?"

Professor Marcus Maige's eyes swept over, and Neville exposed everyone.

Sean obviously didn't expect to meet Professor Marcus Maige here, and he was slightly stunned, unable to say a word.

"You are messing around."

Only Sean heard it, others didn't react. Professor Marcus Maige seemed to be using telepathy.

"You should have told me..."

Professor Marcus Maige's severe gaze looked at Sean.

The worry in her eyes flashed by.

She didn't believe in any god-talking prophecies; that was no different from the death prophecy that the Divination professor Trelawney made once a year;

Voldemort's return was also something that couldn't make her believe immediately;

But she believed in her children, more than she had ever known before.

"I will watch here for two nights. If I don't see anything, then I will have you and Neville in detention until the exams!"

Professor Marcus Maige's severe words were so pleasant in the eyes of the little wizards. They thought they would never reject a little bit of Transfiguration class again.

Soon Haige walked over wearing a moleskin coat, and he chatted with Professor Marcus Maige:

"Professor Marcus Maige... oh, yes... a unicorn was greatly hurt, that was something that hadn't been in the Forbidden Forest before... centaur prophecy... Mars is? Is bright..."

Harry said that Haige didn't hear what Firenze said to him, otherwise Haige could have helped them testify early.

A cool wind blew through the Forbidden Forest. This night, they didn't hear any strange movements. The Dark Lord lurking in the Forbidden Forest seemed to know someone was here and didn't dare to make a sound at all.

Professor Marcus Maige's face was even deeper.

She left here silently.

It just so happened that the east had already appeared white, and they finally saw the light of day.

"The first day—we held on! We will find him sooner or later, and then drive him out of Hogwarts!"

Jia Siting summarized excitedly.

Harry trembled with excitement, and Hermione also waved her fist.

Luo En was completely exhausted. He had been nervous for a whole night:

"Very great, Sean, and Harry, Jia Siting, Neville, Hermione..."

Every time he read a name, his eyelids became heavier,

"I'm going to sleep, do you know how much longer we can sleep?"

So everyone felt the exhaustion of their bodies almost crushing them. They had never felt as exhausted as they did today, almost falling into a deep sleep as soon as they touched the bed.

Neville was already like a wandering soul, swaying, and everyone dragged him back to the room with exhaustion.

A large group of young wizards fell asleep here.

It was dawn, but the heavy rain outside the window hadn't completely stopped. The fireplace fire was burning fiercely, and Sean didn't fall asleep, but kept thinking, kept thinking.

"Are you still worried... Sean..."

Jia Siting sat beside him. He was actually exhausted too, but he always had to watch his friends rest.

"Two days..."

Sean muttered to himself.

"Two days? You mean Professor Marcus Maige will be here for two days? Then catch you for detention? Sean, did you forget what the professor said? Detention is with Haige. And when Headmaster Dumbledore returns, the safety of Hogwarts will be greatly improved."

Jia Siting consoled.

Until he fell into a deep sleep, before the afternoon class started, Sean rarely showed a worried state.

Voldemort didn't come to the Forbidden Forest? Why?

The Forbidden Forest is so big, even Professor Marcus Maige couldn't take care of every place at any time.

In the original book, even if Professor Dumbledore was at school, Voldemort killed several unicorns for several consecutive weeks.

He is greedy and cunning, which can be seen from his trespassing into Hogwarts guarded by Dumbledore,

So there is no reason for him to fear Professor Marcus Maige sitting in town, let alone patrolling the Forbidden Forest.

Think more... think more...

Sean kept reminding himself.

So night fell again. This time the young wizards were far less panicked than last time. Harry and Jia Siting followed the centaur Firenze, while Hermione, Neville, and Luo En followed Haige.

And Sean guarded the injured unicorn alone. He confirmed that there had been no movement for a long time.

Suddenly, Sean seemed to have realized something, and he rushed toward the castle.

The plan map was shaking wildly, and Sean rode his broom across the night sky.

How could he forget!

The reason why Qiluo and Voldemort couldn't touch the Philosopher's Stone was because what they desired most in their hearts was the Philosopher's Stone.

Then now, is what Professor Qiluo desires most still the Philosopher's Stone?!

Professor Qiluo made the right choice, seeing hope again between the second despair.

Whether it was seeing Sean and others guarding the Forbidden Forest, or the squirrel biscuit in his own hand, at least he wouldn't be desperate to serve Voldemort to get the Philosopher's Stone.

If Voldemort saw that there was no hope in the Forbidden Forest and went to the room on the fourth floor, under his coercion, Professor Qiluo would likely reach that state—

Hoping to find the Philosopher's Stone, finding it, but not using it.

This means Voldemort will get the Philosopher's Stone. Regardless of whether the Philosopher's Stone can help him reshape his body, this will not be good news.

A paper airplane cut through the night sky and flew straight into Jia Siting's hand. It only had a short paragraph in it, but it made Jia Siting break out in a cold sweat. He took out the broom hidden in the corner, rode it, and flew across the Forbidden Forest sky at high speed, flying toward Professor Marcus Maige's direction.

At the same time, a paper airplane also flew toward the distant International Alchemy Assembly.

The paper airplane of Professor Taila winning the Pioneering Gold Award was almost a perfect emergency communication tool—ignoring terrain, ignoring distance, and the speed was incredibly fast.

After finishing all preparations, Sean also appeared in the fourth-floor corridor.

In a place he didn't expect, Mr. Owl appeared in a painting in the corridor.

"You have been attracted by the prosperous and vast magic, and you can always see those weak, even impure lives. You experience these two feelings and measure the width that a wizard's life can possess.

This is Ravenclaw's wisdom.

May you understand, Ravenclaw will always be proud of you."

Mr. Owl bowed deeply, Sean saw the trapdoor open, and he stepped in. ===== CHAPTER 383 =====
