Wizard Sean was about to head to the Great Hall for dinner when he heard Bruce’s cheerful voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, while you were gone, we spent hours cleaning up after the little witches and wizards’ disasters—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I often wonder if they’re natural-born pranksters, otherwise how could they be even more chaotic than I was?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bruce blinked his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, Leon and Piste nodded in deep agreement, though no one knew exactly what they agreed with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s made me realize one thing—you’ve returned at just the right time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bruce pulled out three chocolate, raspberry, and chopped nut ice creams from nowhere,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>shoved them into Wizard Sean’s hands, and whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You won’t believe it—I won a bet on you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hufflepuff Handbook says sharing joy is a vital part of sharing—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wizard Sean, feeling oddly confused, carried the three chocolate, raspberry, and chopped nut ice creams into the Great Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He always felt Bruce was hiding something from him, but given Bruce’s logic—buying broom cleaner from Honeydukes and sprinkling itching powder on others if refused—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean couldn’t guess what he was up to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, as Leon had once remarked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When danger strikes, you can fully trust Bruce.

two weeks after receiving this letter, he learned of her passing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The letter was thick, as if made of an extremely durable material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dear Wizard Sean:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life always improves suddenly at some moment—that’s my little secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keep doing something, no matter how small—the gears of fate will turn slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My dear child, believe this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Always loving you—Milan]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(A dried violet pressed in one corner of the paper)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carefully tucked the letter away and entered the dungeons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dungeons were cold and dim, candles casting flickering shadows across the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the corner, glass jars piled up, each containing strange biological organs slowly rotating in viscous liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Snape’s black robe swept across the dusty stone floor like bat wings unfurling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw that familiar technique again, his gaze grew complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean placed his notebook aside; during every pause in brewing, he took moments to jot down his own notes on the potion steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had grown accustomed to constant revision and improvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the wind flipped the notebook to a page filled with writing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Snape appeared utterly uninterested in Wizard Sean’s brewing, yet his cold gaze had already swept over it instantly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw only a few words: “The Firebolt 2000’s use.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1134,"2026-06-19T10:00:40.768Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","9d4885036c472c9a1c066fa82ac0db4eb5b3953864345c80ace0204ba057c402","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-71","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-69",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
