More interesting than castle passages or strange magical artifacts!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, his eyes gleamed, his feet moved swiftly, and he vanished in seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Wizard Sean, who hadn’t heard a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had someone just spoken?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean had just closed Standard Spellwork: Level One, and quietly opened it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ascending the spiral staircase,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean tapped in a fixed rhythm to awaken the sleeping Mr. Owl,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>who seemed unusually excited today:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young wizard! Clever young wizard! Answer my question!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean waited silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A simple question, a difficult question…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I observed a fraud—his inner desire was to be revered, noticed, the center of attention; his wisdom helped him achieve it;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I observed a troublemaker—her inner desire was to stir chaos with words; her wisdom enabled her to do it;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their wisdom always followed only their own hearts…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Owl gripped a parchment scroll, circling endlessly within the portrait,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, tell me—is that wisdom, or madness?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean thought for a few seconds:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a fool.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Owl froze in place, turning the parchment over and over, growing stiff, yet his mouth never stopped:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young wizard! Greedy young wizard! Ambitious young wizard! Truly, Lady Ravenclaw…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His final words were unintelligible; at the same time, the sky-blue door slowly appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean, still thinking, opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ambitious?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, no.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greedy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean considered that a clear bias.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the classroom,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>three magical lanterns cast warm arcs of light; three chairs were padded with soft black-and-yellow cushions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center, a cream-colored small sofa leaned against a tiny wooden table,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>upon which lay countless candies and biscuits, though mostly various kinds of pudding—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yorkshire pudding, strawberry mochi pudding, mint pudding, even chili sauce pudding…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the sofa, Justin was handing Hermione a cup of pumpkin soda; the little witch took it automatically, looking slightly dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All in all,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a single Hufflepuff had turned this place into a real secret base in just a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, that diligent badger was Justin,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Justin?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean was surprised—he wasn’t surrounded just now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, Wizard Sean, we need to talk…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean had barely reached the sofa when Justin hurried over; Hermione didn’t even notice someone had left her side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you see? I mean Hermione—she’s hiding something from us…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, knocking echoed from behind the sky-blue door,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a paper airplane drifted in through the crack, then dissolved into glowing words:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Are you there, children?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh! It’s Professor Flitwick!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“—Professor Flitwick!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione’s sudden reaction startled Justin,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>seeing Justin’s hesitant expression, Wizard Sean silently walked over and opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Justin sat down beside Hermione, slightly worried:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want to speak, we’re listening—always—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother said, that’s why friends exist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione slowly lifted her head and met those pale gray eyes—sincere, with just the right touch of concern—for several seconds:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’m silly. How could I forget you two…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice regained its usual strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, children?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Flitwick’s voice was heard, but his figure remained unseen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Justin, who had just smiled, looked confused again,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>dared not speak, and could only look helplessly at Wizard Sean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, several books appeared out of thin air, landed on the floor, and grew larger; only then did Professor Flitwick’s figure emerge from behind the sofa:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Finley, excellent progress.
