Chapter 386: Hogwarts Learning Panel Chapter 163

~7 min read 1,213 words

The five of them quickly entered.

The large beds in the hospital wing were covered with clean white sheets, and tables were placed beside them. To protect personal privacy, curtains were specifically drawn around the beds. After Sean and the others entered the curtains, they found that Harry and Professor Qiluo were still in a deep sleep.

Headmaster Dumbledore was blinking his eyes to the side:

"It seems you have come at a bad time."

Then the young wizards went out quietly again.

Only Sean was called back:

"Mr. Green, could I ask you to stay for a while?"

Sean had been walking at the very back, so he turned around, and now there was only one curtain separating him from Headmaster Dumbledore.

"Come to my side, Mr. Green, you may sit down."

Sean walked to Headmaster Dumbledore's side. He was like an elder who wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with a child, and he even shared a Lemon Sherbet with Sean.

"A sliver of hope is enough to give one the courage to resist the darkness... Mr. Green, how did you know that poor Professor Qiluo needed to be saved?"

Dumbledore said with a smile.

"I didn't know, Headmaster... I am not the one who made the choice. I merely provided an option to the best of my ability."

Sean said.

"A surprising answer. In a place everyone else ignored, you saw the struggle of poor Professor Qiluo... Child, this is something many people cannot do.

I heard you sold the pouch I gave you for your Jin Jialong?"

Hearing this, Sean didn't react for a moment, and then felt somewhat embarrassed. Selling a gift someone gave you never sounded like a pleasant thing.

Seeing Sean looking somewhat flustered, Headmaster Dumbledore hummed a little tune happily, looking at the ceiling with a smile.

"I think I must give you another one, so next time you can think about whether to sell mine or that one from Minerva."

Headmaster Dumbledore took out a pouch and placed it in Sean's hand.

He seemed very happy to see Sean looking unnatural.

"Go out, child, I think there is someone waiting for you behind the door."

Headmaster Dumbledore said.

Sean had originally thought it would be Jia Siting and the others, who had stuck their heads into the door crack and were eventually ruthlessly blocked by Madam Pomfrey.

But he hadn't expected it to be—

"Follow me, Sean Green."

Called by his full name, Sean felt a pressure like a bloodline connection and obediently followed Professor Marcus Maige toward the Transfiguration office.

Jia Siting and the others still wanted to say something to help Sean, but after being swept by a glance from Professor Marcus Maige, they also became obedient.

The strict, righteous Professor Marcus Maige was always like this, making the young wizards both love and fear her.

The hearth fire in the Transfiguration office was always fierce.

There was still lingering fear in the mind of Minerva Maige...

After arriving at the room on the fourth floor, she suddenly realized that everything this group of children said was true.

The mysterious person was not dead; he had instructed Professor Qiluo to help him seize the Sorcerer's Stone and make a comeback.

Yet as professors, they hadn't noticed this matter at all, and had even let a group of brave children guard the Forbidden Forest and go to the fourth-floor room to stop Professor Qiluo.

If there was anyone who understood the danger in this best, it was the young wizard before her.

"This was too risky—Sean Green! How dare you go to guard the Forbidden Forest, break into the fourth floor, and face Qiluo alone—do you know what you were doing?!"

Professor Marcus Maige growled, trembling with anger.

Sean could only remain silent. Professor Marcus Maige looked at him as if she had returned to the Maige family villa.

Ma Kusi's vision was better than hers; he had given this child the Portkey early on, and had also anticipated his current choices.

A large owl flew in from outside the window, and when it dropped the letter, it hit the silver cat ornament on the desktop, making a crisp 'ding' sound.

"I knew of some tragedies, Professor. When they happened before me, I could not remain indifferent... Professor Qiluo... he wrote a recommendation letter for me."

Sean's voice was light but firm.

These words made Minerva Maige pause. She watched as Sean took a well-preserved letter out of his bag.

It was also as if she were looking at a seed blown in from the wind, firmly growing roots.

"Next time, tell me."

Professor Marcus Maige was silent for a while, then said in a hoarse voice.

When Sean left the Transfiguration office, the old wizard with a long white beard had entered at some point.

He said with emotion:

"Then I think we already know clearly. He will always stand on the side of beauty, even if there is much injustice in this world, and even if the ugly side looks very easy.

He has the most genuine kindness for this world. I think, Minerva, this is your credit.

In many aspects, you are always better than I am."

Out of the Transfiguration office, Jia Siting and the others kept sizing Sean up. It was as if it were a very abnormal thing that he wasn't missing an arm or a leg.

Sean's gaze swept over, and they pretended they weren't looking again.

The heavy rain had stopped this morning. Listening to the 'coo-coo' sound of the owls, Sean's thoughts drifted away.

Professor Qiluo was still unconscious, which resulted in him not being able to speak with him. He lacked an agent... If Professor Qiluo were willing, he thought there was probably no one more suitable than Professor Qiluo.

In the time that followed, Hogwarts Castle became completely peaceful. There was no crisis of Voldemort's minions wanting to kill unicorns, nor the panic caused by the potential theft of the Sorcerer's Stone.

There was only a busy atmosphere.

The young wizards who had experienced this incident seemed to have changed a lot. They thought:

Even if final assignments and tests were difficult, were they harder than guarding the Forbidden Forest under the threat of Voldemort and stopping Voldemort from stealing the Sorcerer's Stone?

It was Sean who realized some things while reviewing the incident with Hemin and the others' notes—the centaur Firenze said Harry would be killed by Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest, so he stopped Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest.

Sean naturally thought of Harry's final plan to die; the location of death happened to be in the Forbidden Forest.

The centaurs' prophecies seemed to have never been wrong.

This also made the branch of magic known as Astronomy appear even more profound in Sean's eyes.

If it weren't for the fact that Haige had been sulking because of Harry's coma these days, Sean would have already entered the Forbidden Forest. Whether it was unicorn biscuits or the potentially existing centaur biscuits, both made him faintly look forward to them.

And on the third day of Harry and Professor Qiluo's coma, Sean and the others finally received news:

Harry had woken up, and so had Professor Qiluo! ===== CHAPTER 387 =====
