by the time Wizard Sean stepped out of the dungeons, it had stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was a clean, pale gray, the grass beneath his feet damp and springy underfoot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean walked through the Hogwarts corridors as a breeze brushed past, a book with purple covers and gold trim floating beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon closer inspection, six large green ornamental characters were visible on the cover:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wizarding Chronology of Magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More striking still was the small line of text at the book’s spine end: The Green Series.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No British wizard failed to recognize this series; its fame rivaled that of the Chudley Cannons in Quidditch or the Weird Sisters in entertainment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No British wizard wished to be without a Green Notebook—it was the most comprehensive and authoritative magical reference ever compiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you did not own a Green Notebook—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merlin’s beard, you’d already lagged behind the starting line!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your children, your grandchildren—they’d all fall behind in class without one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Filius Flitwick, Hogwarts’s Charms professor, publicly called it the finest magical primer he had ever seen;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ilvermorny in America and Wagga Wagga in Africa each season purchased vast quantities of The Green Series…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to incomplete figures from the Daily Prophet, on average every wizard owned at least one Green Notebook, making it among the best-selling books in recent years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It even surpassed The Tales of Beedle the Bard, the bedside staple of every young wizard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, its newest installment, The Wizarding Chronology of Magic, the latest pre-release title from Green Bookhouse, became this year’s most anticipated new release, with many wizards eagerly awaiting its arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But sadly, the mysterious Mr. Green had yet to announce a release date; wizards could only wait in anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumor had it that the owner of Flourish and Blotts, pressured relentlessly, had once tried to storm Hogwarts to seize the manuscript—but he abandoned the idea, for one fact known to all:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Hogwarts was not merely Hogwarts; it was Dumbledore’s Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the manuscript floated before the young wizard’s eyes as he read it, occasionally frowning and adding notes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, the rain had just ceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yi arrived from afar, carrying a letter slightly dampened by raindrops; it landed on Wizard Sean’s shoulder, lifted its head, and placed the letter in his hand, then shook itself into a hissing, flame-spitting lizard that scurried across the ground—its feathers, wet from rain, instantly regained their pristine sheen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for your trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean placed Bai Yi inside the Wizard’s Book; even through the wooden door, he could see the roaring fireplace and the feast laid out on the table within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down at the book in his hands: it had come from Hogsmeade, sent by the wizard he had expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{Dear Mr. Green:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I cannot express enough my gratitude for your trust and aid; working at the bookstore has been the most peaceful and bright period of my life in decades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you are still willing to take in a furry wizard, I see no reason to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I write to you to express my intention and to seek your opinion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sincerely yours, Remus Lupin}\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Lupin’s letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean had anticipated it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he was still surprised that Lupin preferred to remain at the bookstore rather than come to Hogwarts as a professor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew it wasn’t that Lupin truly wished to sell books or shelve tomes—he simply wanted to repay the kindness once shown to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wizard Sean softly summoned Bai Yi and wrote his reply:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{Dear Mr. Lupin:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flows like water. I believe Hogwarts needs a professor more than Green Bookhouse needs a shopkeeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor would better fulfill your value and enrich your life than this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>May you follow your heart’s choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean Green}\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The letter departed; before flying off, Bai Yi affectionately pecked Wizard Sean’s wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean saw the green outlines of distant hills, and owl messengers rising and falling through the clouds, soon vanishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin’s letter gave Wizard Sean a new insight: after third year, Hogwarts would have more guards—if he wished to avoid being kissed by Dementors, he ought to master a competent Patronus Charm in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, Wizard Sean could not yet summon a tangible Patronus; his Patronus Charm remained at the {Beginner} level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to reach at least {Proficient}—only then, he thought, would the tangible Patronus appear reliably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And concerning tangible Patronuses, there was a special belief:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Patronus Charm had long been associated with wizards who fought for noble causes—those who could summon a tangible Patronus were often chosen as high-ranking officials in the Wizengamot and the Ministry of Magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because Dark Wizards found it nearly impossible to cast the Patronus Charm, or because powerful Light Wizards all studied tangible Patronuses, this belief had never been proven false.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean’s Patronus Charm had been taught by Professor McGonagall; now, he was heading toward the Transfiguration office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, his Shrinking Solution had just reached {Expert}, and Professor Snape had granted him a morning off—otherwise, he’d have had no time to improve his Patronus Charm proficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wizard Sean thought this, a quarrel suddenly reached his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped silently and pressed himself against the armor at the corridor’s corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hogwarts had only one student now—if there was a dispute, it could only be between professors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could it be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...You should let him go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Professor McGonagall’s voice, stern and commanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry—he goes nowhere.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The low male voice was unmistakably Professor Snape’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’ll all go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall pressed her lips together, her gaze sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha. Those fools—lose a hundred… a thousand of them, it wouldn’t matter…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snape said lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remember your position, Severus. You are a professor at Hogwarts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall was furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forgive me, but before that, I was the one who signed the adoption papers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snape refused to yield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...There will be no danger. We’ll all go, and Dumbledore will handle everything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dumbledore…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentioning the Headmaster’s name was enough to darken Snape’s face instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wizard he had protected—untouched by danger until now—had, after being misled by that damned Dumbledore, lain in the school infirmary for the first time, cursed by the most dangerous wizard alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t—ever—mention him again—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snape exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>",1061,"2026-06-19T10:00:42.198Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5a0b30d75e591a124ea65f183e7dde653713a95fee99b63344105c5bf5d2c644","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-520","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-518",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
