Chapter 384: Hogwarts Learning Panel Chapter 162

"Accio Key!"

With two simple spells, Sean got the key and opened the door under Hermione and Harry's dazed gazes.

"Oh, Hermione, do you know how Sean found the accurate key?"

Harry asked in a low voice while walking.

"The door is silver, perhaps we need to find the silver key. But no one can be this fast..."

Hermione explained in a low voice.

Passing through the door, in front of them was a huge chessboard. Those pieces were taller than them, and they seemed to be carved from black stone or something. At the other end of the room, facing them, were some white pieces. Harry and Hermione were trembling with fear—those towering white pieces had no facial features.

"What should we do now?"

Harry asked Sean in a low voice.

Everything along the way had been safe, and seeing Sean here, Harry's fear of those towering pieces disappeared, and he looked at them with slight curiosity.

"We have to play chess..."

Hermione showed a nervous and flustered face,

"But Luo En is not here, he is the best at chess among us."

The chessboard, tens of meters wide, was like a giant's game. Sean stood here, looking very small in comparison.

Professor Marcus Maige's chessboard was originally a chess test, but now Sean didn't have time to play chess with the pieces.

His Transfiguration was obviously not enough to confront so many pieces, but he had learned more than just this magic...

"Reducto!"

Dazzling light flashed, and the white piece symbolizing the king exploded on the spot.

【You practiced a Reducto spell at the expert standard, proficiency +50】

What he learned in the dungeon was not just stirring cauldrons.

He opened the panel:

【Sectumsempra: Expert Level (2000/9000)】

【Reducto: Expert Level (100/9000)】

【Impedimenta: Expert Level (1000/9000)】

Expert level meant silent and instant casting.

Seeing the king explode, the white pieces bowed and retreated, making a path that led straight to a door.

Sean walked into the door without hesitation.

"We, are we going to play chess, right?"

Hermione said.

"Maybe."

Harry followed quickly.

A troll was already lying on the ground at the door. It seemed to be just dizzy, and a sound like snoring came from its mouth.

Sean bypassed it and came to the seven bottles of potion. This was Professor Sineipu's reasoning question, but Sean forgot the answer, but he could do it on the spot.

The only problem was that only one person could pass through here.

Behind the door of the last level.

Professor Qiluo was in a state no one knew.

A professor who hadn't completely fallen, did Harry's special attack on him still exist?

This was unknown.

Sean heard the sound of an owl returning outside the castle, indicating that it wouldn't be long before dawn.

Professor Marcus Maige or Professor Taila would arrive soon, and Headmaster Dumbledore's return time wasn't far off either.

With a little more time, delaying for a little time, everything might be different.

While Sean was thinking.

Hermione had solved the puzzle:

She read the paper a few more times. She walked back and forth in front of the row of bottles, muttering to herself, while pointing at this or that bottle. Finally, she clapped her hands happily.

"I know, this smallest bottle can help us pass through the black flames—to get the Philosopher's Stone. But there is only enough for one person to drink."

Hermione said with a frown again,

"Not even a mouthful."

Harry's throat moved, and he was about to volunteer.

But only saw a paper airplane fly out of the wall and land in Sean's hand. It unfolded, and it only had a few words written on it:

【I'll be back soon, child】

Harry and Hermione didn't know who this was at all. Only Sean breathed a sigh of relief completely.

"I will delay for a while."

Sean drank the potion and turned to walk out of the flames.

This sentence had only one meaning in Harry and Hermione's eyes.

Before the professors arrived, in order to stop Professor Qiluo from getting the Philosopher's Stone, Sean needed to face the Dark Lord's minions alone.

In the last room, there were only some low sounds.

"Master, please forgive your incompetent servant! Failing to kill the unicorn, it was my magic that was too weak, my will was not firm enough... please... please give me another chance, I won't let you down again..."

Sean saw Professor Qiluo, who was circling the Mirror of Erised, constantly belittling and begging himself.

"Give me another chance..."

Professor Qiluo kept repeating this sentence. When he sensed something and turned his head.

His bloodshot eyes widened to the extreme, and his pupils kept shrinking and trembling.

His lips were bitten by his teeth until they lost their blood color, slightly open but unable to make a sound. Only his Adam's apple was rolling in vain.

Before anyone could react, Professor Qiluo quickly stuffed a biscuit into his mouth, and the figure wrapped in robes instantly turned into a shivering squirrel.

The squirrel ran to Sean and stayed in place without moving.

Until a notebook and a quill floated out from Sean.

【You, why did you come... you shouldn't have come, the mysterious person will kill you... run, run...】

Sean looked at the words on the notebook, and many thoughts popped into his mind.

The transformation of the Animal Party series can be sustained. The moment Professor Qiluo chose to transform into a squirrel, he seamlessly chose to transform into a squirrel for at least half an hour.

Sean's bag had many squirrel transformation biscuits, all of which he made while practicing.

"What about you, Professor?"

Sean lowered his eyes.

【Oh, oh... he will torture me, just like when I failed to steal the Philosopher's Stone from Gringotts, he was very unhappy. He punished me... but this has nothing to do with you... run, Mr. Green, I beg you to run...】

The squirrel even cried out in a hurry.

Sean suddenly heard a slight footstep behind him. He trembled slightly, knowing who had come.

"Have you gotten the Philosopher's Stone?"

Sean asked again.

【Philosopher's Stone... I don't want to use it, but it wants to come to me instead. I see myself in the mirror wanting to grab the Philosopher's Stone... I found an excuse... didn't dare to look at the mirror...】

The room fell into a dozen seconds of silence.

【The Philosopher's Stone will be taken out sooner or later... he will return... he will of course return, he will leave me, and this empty body of mine, this riddled soul... Mr. Green, I don't want to deceive you, nor do I want to deceive myself anymore... I am already a dead man...】

Sean looked silently at the squirrel that Professor Qiluo had turned into.

【You gave me a choice, only then did I know, hope, that is such a beautiful thing... now, I still have a choice... people will eventually have one last choice...】

Sean knew what the professor was talking about. The equality of life lies in the fact that no matter when, there is a dead end.

"You did well enough... Headmaster Dumbledore..."

Sean turned his head and sure enough saw an old wizard with a long white beard, and behind him followed a few little wizards.

Jia Siting, Hermione, Harry, Luo En...

The matter was over. The moment Voldemort saw Headmaster Dumbledore after the transformation was completed, he abandoned Professor Qiluo and left.

He passed through Harry's body and instantly knocked Harry unconscious.

Professor Qiluo was cast a magical spell by Headmaster Dumbledore. Headmaster Dumbledore muttered while casting:

"A soul not completely tarnished, his soul is still complete, he hasn't killed any innocent life, truly rare..."

Headmaster Dumbledore looked at Professor Qiluo while looking at Sean and the others:

"It seems that when I was away, you did quite well?"

This made Hermione and Jia Siting, who had grudges, feel slightly embarrassed. Luo En supported Harry, sweating profusely, and straightened his chest after hearing this.

The weak Professor Qiluo confessed everything, and these words almost made the little wizards drop their tongues.

Voldemort had been on the back of the professor's head all along?!

And the news that Professor Qiluo chose to die, dying as someone who had defeated the Dark Lord like Harry, made everyone respect this seemingly cowardly professor.

Not long after.

Harry and Professor Qiluo were sent to the hospital together.

In the corridor, the little wizards who had only slept for ten hours in two whole days didn't speak, and they walked back to the Hope Room silently.

Just then, Jia Siting suddenly reached out and clapped. He was celebrating for everyone.

That's right, it was Headmaster Dumbledore who drove away Voldemort, but when the Headmaster was away, it was they who guarded the Forbidden Forest, broke into the trapdoor, and stopped Voldemort's resurrection plan.

Just as the Headmaster said, they did well.

"Guys, we did it!"

He said.

Luo En, Hermione, and Neville looked at him, then at Sean, showing an incomparably joyful and satisfied look.

Now, they were going to have a good sleep, and then go visit Harry.

As for Sean, he had to visit another brave professor.

Before Professor Qiluo fell into a coma, he rejected Headmaster Dumbledore's offer for the Defense Against the Dark Arts position.

He had no face to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts in Hogwarts Castle... but his body was very weak. Due to the curse and the damage Voldemort did to his life and soul, even if he wanted to recover to his previous level, it would take years.

Unless there were special potions, but Professor Qiluo's Galleons were all spent under Voldemort's instigation.

So who could provide a position for this weak professor?

Lu will end this plot with a big chapter, there will be updates in the evening, dear readers can read it when they wake up tomorrow.
