"...he will serve as a teaching assistant for the herbal medicine class. Professor Sprout should be very happy."

Professor McGonagall introduced this batch of newly arrived teaching assistants, and soon came to the last person.

"This gentleman is Max Dawson." The young man named Max Dawson has a sullen face and is tall. However, one of his hands hangs unnaturally on one side, and the other on the same side There was still gauze on his head.

"Mr. Dawson is from Durmstrang, and he will be the teaching assistant for Charms next—Mr. Dawson, how did you become like this? What happened? During the interview a few days ago, you were still in a very bad state. Good." Professor McGonagall pushed his glasses and looked at Max Dawson who seemed to have been beaten up.

Sean on the side also cast his gaze over it. This new assistant coach is actually from Durmstrang, which is a bit rare. Of course, Sean didn't have any objections to graduates from other schools, he just simply didn't like Durmstrang's headmaster, Karkaroff.

Dawson looked sinister, but his voice was not sinister at all, but he sounded a little annoyed.

"Something went wrong...Professor McGonagall."

"Is there any place that needs Hogwarts? Or, your mind has changed." Professor McGonagall asked.

Dawson shook his head: "No, it's my honor to pass the interview at Hogwarts, I just met some..."

He gritted his teeth a little annoyed and a little ashamed: "After passing the interview, I went back to Durmstrang—"

The eyes of the others looking at Dawson suddenly became strange.

Dawson waved even his injured one: "Please don't get me wrong, I haven't told anyone about my upcoming appointment at Hogwarts—I just wanted to get a note."

Now that the conversation has reached this point, Dawson, who is worried that other people will misunderstand, simply opened up the chatterbox.

"That was my personal notebook when I was studying in Durmstrang, combined with manuscript materials in the Durmstrang Library, mainly about Charms. When I graduated, I took that notebook I gave it to a junior student who has a good relationship with me—I shouldn’t need it, but I got the job, so I decided to take this basic note back as some reference during the lecture. "

As he said that, his face was a bit ugly: "Before that year disappeared, my junior was a seventh-grade student, so taking back the notes will not affect him in any way, and the fact is true, he is very He received me warmly, and returned it to me readily after hearing my intentions, but I didn't expect..."

"After I finished talking with him, I suddenly wanted to visit the dormitory where I lived for seven years. After all, I haven't been back to school for so long—" Dawson said with obvious anger in his eyes, "I don't know What is the school doing, it stands to reason that the dormitory is located there, but I can't find it?!"

"In other words, I didn't find the wrong place, but the original dormitory area has been remodeled and turned into a strange room—I didn't even want to go in and take a look, after all, I'm already a graduate. But! I just got close to it, and immediately a senior student at school attacked me!"

"Those...that group of **** directly attacked me with magic in the school. There are too many of them!" Dawson's face flushed slightly, and he didn't seem to have enough confidence in his defense.

It seems that there should not be many attacking him, but this Mr. Dawson is obviously defeated... Sean on the side thought to himself.

Otherwise, Dawson wouldn't have looked like this, and when it came to the number of attackers, he was vague and took it all away.

Durmstrang's seniors are so strong?

When Sean came in, he carefully looked at the new assistants. He had dealt with the strong ones a lot, so his judgment of strength was fairly accurate. The strength of this Max Dawson should be able to steadily enter the top three among the new assistant teachers, and the selection conditions of Professor McGonagall have always been very high.

"And then?" Professor McGonagall asked, frowning.

"And then... I left Durmstrang..." Dawson muttered.

Looking at this appearance, it should not be the so-called "leave", but a beating after being disarmed, and the posture of leaving may be very round.

But these are not the point. Durmstrang's attitude is very strange. Unless this Dawson is not telling the truth, otherwise, a graduate of this school wants to see the dormitory, which is definitely not a reason for being beaten.

kind of weird...

Professor McGonagall thought for a while: "Mr. Dawson, is there anything Hogwarts can help you with?"

Dawson blushed, he waved his hands again and again and accidentally touched his injured neighbor, grinning in pain.

"No, no need... I have already left a letter to Principal Karkaroff, those lawless **** will be punished."

"That's good—by the way, Mr. Dawson, maybe you can consider going to our school doctor Madam Pomfrey, she, uh—" Professor McGonagall hesitated, and she could see that this Max Dawson is kind of saving face.

Sean continued: "Madame Pomfrey is currently experimenting with a new nourishing potion. She urgently needs a new subject with mature magic power and strong body. Of course, this medicine has no side effects."

Dawson hesitated for a while, and finally walked out with a look of indifference: "Then I'd be more than happy to help."

After everyone else left the faculty lounge, Sean who stayed behind asked Professor McGonagall, "Mr. Max Dawson, is there any problem?"

Professor McGonagall nodded: "Those who are normally screened for employment, and the recommenders are also very reliable adult wizards - the compound decoction test and the Imperius Curse test have been tried during the interview, and there is no sign of camouflage or being controlled or suspected."

Sean squinted his eyes, and he really didn't find anything wrong with Max Dawson, but in the current situation, Durmstrang's principal Karkaroff is probably not a good person, so Kaka The possibility of Love contacting the returnees is very high.

If this is the case, then Durmstrang's true face is hard to say.

"But that was all tested during the interview, right?" Sean asked.

"That's right... Sean, do you think Max Dawson might be controlled by the malicious people in Durmstrang?"

"The possibility is not high. After all, he is still injured and is easy to be noticed-but I think it is better to be safe in everything. In case he does not suspect good intentions, we can still act in advance."

Professor McGonagall pondered for a while and nodded: "You make sense, but I didn't think carefully. I will find a way to check Dawson's current abnormality."

"Um."

Two days later, Professor McGonagall approached Sean, and the two chatted about Dawson's situation in her office.

"After checking, Dawson didn't show any signs of being controlled, and he didn't try to go to some places where no one was around. He was very honest and peaceful." Professor McGonagall told Sean.

Sean dragged his chin to think for a while, and said slowly: "I also asked someone to investigate. Durmstrang doesn't seem to have any inexplicable actions recently, at least that's the case on the surface."

Could it be that he was too suspicious? After all, although it is strange, Durmstrang's actions do not seem to affect the direction of the entire wizarding world. It may be that a secret room was simply transformed, and then just when Max Dawson tried to enter, it was guarded The students were beaten up.

Sean discussed with Professor McGonagall for a while, but in the end they didn't get much useful information.

In desperation, Sean could only think that he was too suspicious.

Of course, the necessary monitoring is still indispensable. If there is nothing wrong with it later, it should be cancelled.

Under such circumstances, another month passed quickly, and the atmosphere at Hogwarts became unprecedentedly dignified.

The final exam is coming soon, and this exam is much more difficult than previous years, which makes many students nervous.

Moreover, there are two grades who have to take o.w.l.s exams at the end of the semester, and the students of these two grades are very busy.

During this period, while ensuring his other courses, Xiao En has been teaching Transfiguration—remarkable results.

For example, the first-year freshmen who haven't been in school for half a year have completely followed the course for a whole year under Sean's guidance, and many of them even performed exceptionally well.

Sean estimated that among the first-year students he was leading, there were a few gifted students who could barely keep up with Hermione's progress—of course, this was without taking Sean into consideration.

The progress analogy here is compared to Hermione without Sean by her side.

The current Hermione, a super academic and with all kinds of determination to win, she is progressing much faster than normal fourth graders, and her strength is naturally needless to say.

In other courses, due to the addition of teaching assistants, the workload of professors has been greatly reduced.

Charlotte and Colton should be the two best performing assistants besides Sean.

The two of them "joined forces" and almost snatched away the remaining fans of Lockhart. Now, Lockhart, the professor of defense against the dark arts officially hired by Hogwarts, has basically been emptied. Charlotte and Colton Talking is much better than him.

And Max Dawson, who Sean and Professor McGonagall have been vigilant against, also performed well, at least in the role of teaching assistant.

Sean is going to monitor until the end of the semester. If nothing happens, then there is no need to continue to make trouble for the other party.

In fact, it's not too troublesome, just check from time to time whether he has been mixed with compound potion, whether he is under the control of the Imperius Curse, and so on.

At present, although the atmosphere of Hogwarts Castle is tense and restless, it is also a good place to learn and improve.

…

Inside the Responsive Room, Sean was looking at the strangely shaped wand in his hand.

After receiving the honor of the Golden Prize Canemaker, Sean made several attempts. After all, even if the Wallop family lacked in other things, they would not lack Golden Galleons.

It's just that the difficulty of embedding is somewhat beyond Sean's expectations.

Wandmaker's Glory (Golden): Within ten hours after using it, you will gain keen observation on wand wood and wand core materials, and gain the ability of [Embedding]. The cooling time is one natural month.

[Embedding]: You can embed a second magic material into a wand that has already been made. The power and control of the wand will be improved. The degree of improvement depends on the fit between the second material and the original wand.

At the same time, you can insert a variety of wand cores for brand new wand embryos (wands without cores). The number of cores inserted is related to the material of the wand wood and the fit of the various cores.

Tips: Rush insertion may cause wand embryo and wand core to be destroyed together, please be careful.

This is what the golden prize is for. Since the cooling time takes a full month, it can't be wasted.

Sean is going to use a lot of powerful magic materials as the main material for his new wand. Of course, the materials must be good, and the wand must be powerful and easy to use.

Before this meeting, Sean always activated his abilities and tried them out one by one. But he found that even though the wandmaker's glory endowed Sean with unusually keen senses, he couldn't stuff a variety of wand cores into the wand blank well.

And this brand new wand in his hand is Sean's first successful wand so far.

The material of the wand is oak, which can sensitively perceive the owner's emotions. This wood is very loyal to the owner, and at the same time, it will provide different levels of magic power output according to the owner's emotional changes.

If your air pressure is very low recently and you have a lot of negative emotions, then the oak will appear a little weak and weak. If you are in a positive mood, oak can exert greater strength than other wand woods.

Of course, the more important thing is the core of the staff. With the skill [Embedded], Sean boldly chose two types of staff cores, phoenix tail feathers and unicorn tail hairs.

Unicorn tail feathers are known for their stability, while phoenix tail feathers are more like a talented but unruly genius.

In addition to the previous attempts, Sean scrapped more than a dozen of the ready-made wand blanks, and the core of the wand was also burned at the same time.

This is the first successful product. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Different from other oak wands, Sean's wand has an obvious thick bottom, and then the diameter shrinks rapidly when it goes up.

The surface is smoother and shiny than ordinary wands, but Xiao En has a good feel in his hands.

Phoenix tail feathers and unicorn tail hair give this wand a fantastic feel, while also showing a mix of silver and red at the tip.

Sean held back the excitement in his heart, and cast a spell seriously.

"flame blazing(

Graceful and warm flames spewed out, the dancing flames were as proud as a phoenix, but they were as calm and gentle as a unicorn in front of Xiao En.

The casting speed has increased...the power has increased a lot...and the handling has increased a lot...

Sean, who often changed wands, immediately gave an accurate evaluation. He was pleasantly surprised to find that the first wand he created was stronger than Grindelwald's branch wand, no, to be precise.

This wand is stronger than every wand Sean has ever used before!
