Professor McGonagall sternly urged him to thoroughly study the theories of advanced Transfiguration, not recklessly practice—she repeated this many times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For days on end, Wizard Sean pored over these Transfiguration texts and the pronunciations and symbols of ancient Runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spent noticeably more time in the Great Hall, and the little Hufflepuff’s desserts had multiplied in variety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the slow, necessary progress in Transfiguration, his spellwork advanced rapidly—he reached the beginner stage of Stupefy in little time, with only half the proficiency left to reach skilled level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Notably, Jia Jia Siting seemed to have high aptitude for this spell—his progress was nearly equal to Wizard Sean’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most direct proof was that Neville now dared to practice the Levitation Charm on small wooden boards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean speculated that not only did magical branches differ, but wizards also varied in innate talent for specific spells—like Harry’s Levitation Charm and Expelliarmus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former lagged far behind Hermione; the latter could even trade blows with Voldemort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of Harry, perhaps because Wizard Sean spent so much time reading in the Great Hall, he often saw Harry bickering with Malfoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their insults included, but were not limited to: “You’re going to get detention, Potter—first-years aren’t allowed to fly brooms. I’m telling the professors!” “Hah—come to think of it, I owe my broom to Mr. Malfoy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cocoa was so sweet it made Wizard Sean squint; he shook his head, ignoring the frequent squabbles in the Great Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After mastering Stupefy, he planned to visit the staff lounge the next day to learn the Disillusionment Charm from Professor Flitwick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Hermione suddenly dashed forward:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you think this is a reward for breaking school rules?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione stomped over, glaring at the broom in Harry’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Siting quickly followed, and as Hermione’s temper flared, he blurted out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hermione, Wizard Sean also has…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione froze. Realizing what he meant, she shot Jia Jia Siting a sharp look and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s different… Wizard Sean is ten times better than Harry…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, both Harry and Malfoy turned their attention to Hermione—and to Wizard Sean, who had just glanced at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry suddenly recalled Wood’s task; Malfoy remembered, “Wizard Sean? Ah! He once fought a troll alone and defeated a werewolf barehanded…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so both fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere grew strange until Professor Flitwick approached:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hope you’re not quarreling, children?” he squeaked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone brought a flying broom to school in violation of the rules, Professor,” Malfoy said hastily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Flitwick’s eyes suddenly brightened with approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know Mr. Green passed the flying test?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why is this about Green again…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy’s lip twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conflict seemed resolved by Professor Flitwick—or perhaps not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry himself couldn’t believe it—Malfoy had slunk away without another word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean didn’t know he’d ended a conflict; after reviewing the twenty-four Runes he’d memorized, he pulled out The Advanced Potion-Making Making Guide and his notebook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Libaixu Bolachi had been unusually talkative lately—sometimes his words appeared in the Making Guide:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【My efforts have given the past a future】,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>sometimes changed to 【Endless horizons, infinite truths… you should know they are being born in your hands】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed meant to encourage Wizard Sean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So his quill scratched softly as he wrote down methods of guiding potion fusion with precise willpower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From lighting the cauldron to the potion’s boil, he recorded every change in motion and analyzed the reasons behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Master Libaixu Bolachi had done—he left behind a precise, replicable method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean named it—The Guiding Method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By refining rituals to strengthen a wizard’s conviction, then using that strong conviction and specific settings to Making Guide the wizard’s emotions into alignment with the potion’s needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean often lost track of time while writing, staying in the Great Hall far too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until dusk deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hearth fire still blazed; after long summarizing and thinking, Wizard Sean slowly lifted his stiff head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phew—he’d managed to roughly record the Guiding Method before heading to the dungeons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His emerald eyes shimmered with quiet joy; he glanced idly around the Hall—Jia Jia Siting was encouraging Neville to levitate the chess pieces on the table, while Hermione pretended not to care, yet kept sneaking glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Great Hall’s entrance, Wizard Sean spotted a young wizard drenched to the bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again, on a stormy evening, Harry returned from training, soaked through, his shoes caked in mud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gryffindor Tower was too far to climb—he’d catch a cold—so Quidditch team members always warmed themselves in the Great Hall, drying their clothes by the corner hearth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, the sky was dark, pouring rain lashed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry hadn’t believed the Weasley twins—Quidditch training never stopped, no matter the weather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling Wood’s words, Harry didn’t know whether to feel joy or frustration:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our names will be carved on this year’s Quidditch Cup!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they trudged wearily back to the castle, Wood exclaimed happily,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wouldn’t be surprised if you outperformed Charlie Weasley. If he hadn’t taken up dragon research, he’d have played for the British team…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Harry, have you learned about… Green?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Harry, have you learned about that...
