The room held tables, chairs, bookshelves, and in the niche opposite the door stood a half-length statue of Rowena Ravenclaw in white marble. A door beside the statue led to Hope Cottage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how Wizard Sean looked, this place resembled Ravenclaw’s common room—even the statue of Lady Ravenclaw was here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the statue’s head wore a crown, inscribed with:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exceeding wisdom is the greatest treasure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean was momentarily startled and confused—until he leaned close to the crown and realized it was merely an exquisite replica.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he looked again at the crown:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could a wizard’s true wisdom reside in a crown?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he walked toward his workbench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the silver-white workbench lay countless small objects: shards resembling broken mirrors, and cookies of all shapes—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>cookies of snoozing Catlings, cookies that spat fire, cookies shaped like Hippogriffs that let out long howls—all neatly arranged on the display shelf beside the bench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, there was one more: an astonishingly strange Cat Bao  cookie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wizard Sean gazed at the cookie, his world twisted instantly into familiar places:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Transfiguration office with its crackling fireplace, the dungeon with its bubbling cauldrons, Professor McGonagall’s cottage blanketed in snow…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean raised his wand calmly; his [Beginner] level Occlumency pulled him back to reality in moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the Cat Bao  cookie and took a bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the secluded room, a young wizard vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the room stirred again, a Cat Bao  seemed to materialize out of thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its sleek, flowing fur was jet black, patterned with silver-white embroidery-like markings; most striking were its emerald eyes, radiating a dazzling, soul-piercing brilliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Cat Bao  silently examined its own body, it discovered something both unexpected and inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That it was very small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Literally small—only slightly larger than a Catling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a juvenile Cat Bao .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It guessed this was the effect of the [Apprentice]-level Cat Bao  cookie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the Mini Fire Drake cookie differed from the true Fire Drake cookie—in the system’s rating, the Mini Fire Drake cookie transformed into the Fire Drake cookie at the [Expert] level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, this should be called the [Juvenile Cat Bao  Cookie]?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm… the more important question: had the Cat Bao ’s unique Legilimency ability matured?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To test this wasn’t simple; the Cat Bao  thought for a moment, then shook the pendant around its neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A book suddenly leapt from the pendant, unfolding layer upon layer until it expanded into a finely crafted oak door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At your command—please instruct Wil—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wil the butler spoke with no lack of dignity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His upward gaze froze, then darted left and right, finally stalling in stunned silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar voice came; Wil jolted and immediately lowered his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he saw was astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His revered master, the great wizard he had sworn to serve… had become a Cat Bao ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forgive me—there’s no time—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a snap of his fingers, Wizard Sean found himself lifted into a tight embrace; Wil, frantic, asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Green, where is the Hogwarts hospital wing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t fail the transformation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brooch-like object on the Cat Bao ’s neck spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, of course—such a great wizard as you would only be making a small exploration, an accidental one—oh, Master Wil taught me this way…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wil’s bushy eyebrows knotted tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is my Animagus form.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cat Bao  understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Animagus form of a magical creature was still uncommon to Wil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked up at the clock made of elm wood; the time read 8:10.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exactly three minutes since the transformation began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Wil’s trembling form, a young wizard stood naturally in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank heaven for Master Wil—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wil jabbed his sharp nails into his own arm; the pain confirmed he hadn’t been affected by any Confundus Charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Wil—has the power of fairy tale cookies reached this level?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, this is merely Wil’s small question—you need not answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wil knows that a great wizard like you always holds many mysterious secrets.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wil asked cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s nothing, Wil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a wizard’s Animagus form aligns with the animal’s transformation, the wizard does not lose consciousness, because their soul is not twisted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, oh… soul… twisted…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wil mumbled, nodding repeatedly without comprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his confusion, Wizard Sean summoned his Transfiguration notebook and briefly explained soul transformation and corporeal replication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wizard Sean returned the Transfiguration notebook to the Book of the Wizard, Wil had already bowed his head; Wizard Sean could see his small body trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made the young wizard frown slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Wil above—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wil suddenly cried out, tears glistening in its eyes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, I hope Mr. Green knows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope he knows how wizards view us humble Pukkies in the magical world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They spend every day trying to turn us into house-elves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>House-elves! Wizards once treated those house-elves like vermin, sir! Of course, they still do, sir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why they’ll never have many house-elves—no creature is born to be enslaved!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Pukkies must hide, must fight—otherwise greedy wizards will never abandon their terrible desires…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean listened in silence; he had never before heard history from the mouth of a non-wizard… a creature like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know what is most precious in all this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Knowledge! Sir, as Lady Isolde Ser said: exceeding wisdom is the greatest treasure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean fell silent, wondering how Lady Isolde had learned Lady Ravenclaw’s saying.\u003C\u002Fp>",986,"2026-06-19T10:00:41.888Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","273861345fddb2c1d1f86e941a7588cc52d3258ad9066a6bbf1730779dd94167","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-394","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-392",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
