Chapter 482

Harry and Luo En did not return until the end of the Sorting Ceremony.

Sean was slightly worried; they wouldn't have been hit by the Whomping Willow...

It was said that the tree didn't have a very good temper.

Aside from that, Sean was most concerned about Ginny; she was carrying a fifty-year-old diary, which was also the beginning of the Chamber of Secrets plot.

Sean didn't have the slightest intention of coming into contact with Riddle's diary.

Horcruxes were usually described only as creations to ensure Voldemort's immortality, but the role revealed by Riddle's diary was far more than that.

It could corrupt a wizard's soul and resurrect itself. After possessing a Soul Relic, Sean had become increasingly cautious.

This Horcrux, which had been split by Voldemort for many years, was not that simple; Sean could always sense that faint, lingering malice, and the troublesome part was that the other party might also be able to sense something.

Sean already knew that Riddle's diary had a certain power of bewitchment and could "devour a wizard's most hidden fears and deepest secrets, with an appetite that would grow larger and stronger."

So he dared not be the least bit arrogant.

In this field of Dark Magic, Headmaster Dumbledore also admitted: "Voldemort possesses powers I will never have."

Therefore, caution, waiting to quickly resolve the Basilisk, and destroying Riddle's diary after obtaining a basilisk fang became the things Sean needed to do for now.

This day would come soon, so Sean was not in a hurry.

At the Gryffindor table, the wizards here were all a bit excited:

"The great Green is watching over his devout believers—"

Fred raised his eyebrows, his tone playful.

"The radiance of our Lord is shining upon us—"

George devoutly took up the thread.

"It's really strange, I rarely see anything that can steal Sean's attention away from his books."

Hermione frowned. What could make Sean look over here three times?

"Harry and Luo En!"

Hermione exclaimed.

After Sean said that "nothing would happen," she had actually forgotten.

At the end of the Sorting Ceremony, Headmaster Dumbledore and the professors left the Great Hall as if they had received major news.

This caused the young wizards to gossip endlessly. Some said Hogwarts had been invaded, by a flying car; others said a thief had appeared at Hogwarts, targeting that precious Whomping Willow—but no one believed it, as they all agreed that even the silliest Neville wouldn't dare take a shovel to the Whomping Willow.

"Hey!"

Hermione shouted angrily, and only then did these people apologize to Neville repeatedly.

The members of the Hope Cabin also gathered together, filled with worry.

"Sean, well, will nothing really happen?"
