Chapter 705: Hogwarts Learning Panel, Chapter 301
The mixture must be stirred a prescribed number of times, no more and no less, first clockwise, then counter-clockwise;
When the cauldron boils, the flame temperature must be lowered to a specific standard, neither too high nor too low, and maintained for a specific duration before the final ingredient can be added. If one is careless when adding the ingredients, it will cause the person taking the potion to fall into a deathly, sometimes even irreversible, slumber...
With too many thoughts in his head, Sean's vision became somewhat blurred.
Ravenclaw's memories were not so easy to receive.
"Sorry, Madam Pomfrey, I ran out on my own."
Before he became completely groggy, Sean said.
"Oh—you don't need to cover for him; I know much more than you do. I was already the nurse here decades ago..."
Madam Pomfrey looked a bit pained; after all, Sean couldn't see his surroundings clearly and was talking to a flowerpot.
"What a hateful curse, I have rarely seen one like it. Get some rest, child."
Just like that, Sean's head spun even more; he drank the potion and fell into a deep sleep.
For several days in a row, he remained dizzy and would always sleep for a long time.
The Draught of Peace might have played a role, but the majority of the reason was that Ravenclaw's memories were gradually merging with him.
This was not a fast process.
During this time, Hogwarts was turned upside down.
Some said Mr. Green had received a hundred greeting cards on Valentine's Day and had been knocked unconscious by them;
Some said Mr. Green had rejected a certain young witch's good intentions and was subsequently knocked out by the embarrassed and angry young witch;
Others said Mr. Green had fallen into a dream of good luck and that he would receive great benefits!
One didn't need to think to know which club had spread this news.
This day, the sun was bright, and the winter snow was melting.
Clearly, this was a sunny March; the wind buffeted the bright haystacks, and the arriving spring counted her flowers every night.
"Is Sean awake?"
Outside the hospital wing, among a group of people, Jia Siting asked anxiously.
Madam Pomfrey had to shoo them away three or four times a day, but her expression softened slightly:
"He has suffered a curse; I have never seen such a hateful curse, but he will get better."
"A curse..."
Hermione murmured the word, which was the most terrifying and dangerous part even among the Dark Arts.
Beside her, Harry's face was pale.
He always felt that this matter wouldn't be that simple.
Just think about it; they had experienced so many dangers, yet not one had been able to knock Sean down.
Now, however, he was lying in the hospital, unconscious; he could probably guess who had done this.
"Is Headmaster Dumbledore still at Hogwarts?"
Harry feigned calmness.
"That is outside my jurisdiction."
Madam Pomfrey shooed them away.
On the way back to the hut, the five of them didn't say a word.
Hermione and Jia Siting were even more bloodless.
They knew more than the three of Harry, and they knew that evil would not be completely eliminated.
Hogwarts might have encountered danger again, only this danger had once again been nipped in the bud.
They felt a chill down their spines, as if a venomous snake were watching them in the dark, waiting to take a bite.
"He has returned?"
Hermione asked Jia Siting.
Jia Siting nodded, then looked toward the distant horizon.
They had to drive Lockhart away as soon as possible; this fraud taught them nothing.
This resulted in them being blind whenever they encountered Dark Arts, relying entirely on Sean's notes to build up a certain understanding of them.
As for how to deal with Dark Arts, they knew absolutely nothing.
But the one they had to face was the most powerful Dark Wizard in the entire current Wizarding World.
"Is the Veritaserum brewed?"
Jia Siting asked.
"It will be ready in these few days."
Hermione knew what he meant.
Immediately, the two of them looked back at the hospital wing with heavy hearts.
There, two more wizards had entered.
Professor Sineipu stood silently in the shadows; in front of him was a pile of snacks consisting of Fizzing Whizzbees, Fudge Flies, Chocolate Frogs, and so on.
These snacks were exactly the same as they had been three days ago, completely untouched.
On the pristine hospital bed behind the snacks, Sean was still sorting through the memories in his mind.
After several days of being half-awake and half-asleep, these memories had finally found a suitable place, no longer overlapping with Sean's own memories and making him feel as if he were Ravenclaw.
But the problem followed—these memories were hidden deeper; Sean would only recall them when triggering specific magic.
When triggered, it was as if Lady Ravenclaw were always by his side, guiding him. ===== CHAPTER 706 =====
