"This is the end of today's class." On the podium, the gloomy Potions professor glanced at everyone in the classroom, "Tomorrow is a rest day, but I think you may not be eligible to rest..."

"This weekend, everyone has to write an article about "The Development Process of the Warming Potion being Modified into the Exorcism Potion and the Application Scenario of the Two Potions in the Active Age", at least - fourteen inches long."

All the students in the classroom lowered their heads with bitter expressions on their faces, only Hermione waved her fist a little excitedly.

Snape glanced at Hermione expressionlessly, then turned his gaze to Sean next to him.

"Famous—Mr. Wallop, in view of your skipping class a week ago, this paper of yours is at least two feet long for me—now that you have skipped class, you must be very confident in your Potions, right? Then... those who can do more work."

"get out of class is over." Snape grabbed the textbook, flung back the black cloak, and strode out of the classroom.

Only Xiao En and the other classmates looked at him sympathetically with a distressed face.

Two feet, that's twenty-four inches, a full ten inches more than the others!

Sean lay powerlessly on the desk: "I can't live through this day."

Hermione on the side packed her things and said, "You should be glad that Snape didn't even fail your Potions course - who skipped class in Hufflepuff last time? Snape was on the spot Just put a big t on his final report card. The guy even asked Professor Sprout to intercede, and he studied potions like crazy in the second half of the semester, and finally got only a p."

t is troll—troll, p is poor—failure.

Sean waved his hand feebly: "I'd rather he give me a failing grade-this week is really worse than death..."

Within a week after Sean skipped class, Snape went all out in Potions class, and even Harry made a glorious history of not being penalized for three consecutive Potions classes—all thanks to Sean.

In the class just now, Sean was even ridiculed by Snape for a full ten minutes because the silver knife he cut the medicinal materials was not positioned properly.

"A man's state can be seen in the way he arranges his utensils—Mr. Wallop, have you paid attention to this lesson?"

"The deep-sea stone algae cut this time requires the silver knife to be cut at a specific angle. I can tell from the position of your silver knife that your angle is a little off-this will cause the potion to be unstable when brewing. Due to the situation, the splash of medicine is almost inevitable...Of course, if you want to show a wave of going to the infirmary with a full head bag, I would be happy to see it."

"The way you extinguished the cauldron really disgusted me... What I taught you in the first class was forgotten so quickly? Oh, yes, Mr. Wallop, the famous and straight skipping class, has of course formed a belonging How to operate as a Potions Master, isn't it?—No? Then do as I tell you!"

"Five points from Ravenclaw."

Similar words kept appearing in Potions class this week, but Sean couldn't refute any of them, even if his operation was fine, even if everyone knew that Snape was deliberately picking on him.

Who made himself really absent from a class?

If it wasn't for the recent events that gave Sean a lot of extra points, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough for Snape...

Sean sighed and took the things Hermione helped him pack up, and looked at the other side helplessly: "That, respected and knowledgeable Miss Granger..."

Hermione turned sharply, leaving him with long, shaggy brown hair.

"No way, don't think I'll write that extra ten inches of paper for you, shameful lazy Mr. Wallop."

"Don't, Hermione, help me, I usually copy your Potions papers..."

"Hmph, that's for you to learn from! And this time, Snape assigned you an extra homework!"

"It's up to you... Hey, don't go, wait for me, I'll treat you to lamb chops tonight..."

…

At night, Sean lay alone on the cushions of the Room of Requirement. Under his control, the ceiling of the Room of Requirement was turned into a starry night sky.

"It's rare to have a weekend to rest, this unlucky homework..."

Sean held a hay lollipop in his mouth, and he cocked his legs in a shapeless manner.

Hermione has been a lot stricter with him recently. During dinner, Sean talked about everything, and Hermione agreed to write four inches for him, which meant that he had to rely on himself for the remaining twenty inches.

"Damn it..." Sean sighed.

He is really not very good at writing papers.

"I don't know what the largest font size I can use...Maybe I can use a quill with a thicker handwriting..." The sad boy has already begun to think of all kinds of crooked ways.

After thinking about it for a while, Sean sadly realized that if he really did this, he might have to be targeted by Snape for another week.

"I'll write it tomorrow, it hurts to think about it now."

He bit off the hay lollipop in his mouth, chewed hard a few times, and then swallowed it in one breath.

Let's think about other things first.

The results of the investigation into Lockhart were in, and the professors administered Veritaserum and sleeping potions and asked every imaginable question.

Little gain.

During this period, Professor Flitwick tried to extract some of Lockhart's memories to see the situation, but the other party's accomplishments in memory spells were really amazing.

Even when he completely lost the ability to resist, the memory in Lockhart's head seemed to have taken root, and he couldn't extract it no matter what.

In the end, I could only return to the interrogation method of using veritaserum.

The information obtained was similar to Sean's guess—from the perspective of a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, or even a normal wizard's perspective, Lockhart undoubtedly failed. But from an undercover perspective, Lockhart was quite successful.

He extracted and destroyed all his previous relevant memories, and some important memories that could not be destroyed were also modified at key links. All that was left were recent partial memories, and all the information he asked was known.

The only new discovery was that the professors got partial news of the black rhombohedral crystal.

In Lockhart's memory, the returnee referred to the black rhombic crystal as the "obsession body" in the emergency contact. It also mentioned that the so-called obsession body is something that has been inherited for a long time, and it is very important. Get it back at any cost.

Sean has never heard of the name Obsession Body, not only him, but even the professors have never heard of it. Only Professor Baburin of the ancient runes said that the Obsession Body may be related to the ancient runes. related.

I really can't analyze anything from the name alone, but what can match Xiao En's guess is that this obsession is indeed very important, at least for the returnees.

It can also be seen from this that the returnees' plan for themselves was inevitable, but what they did not expect was that the barrier that trapped Sean and Dawson together became Sean's way to untie himself. Best cover.

They probably never imagined that the outstanding Max Dawson, coupled with the controllable Mouth of Silence, and the help of the dementors, could not even catch a fourth-year student like Sean.

Sean didn't really feel that he had thwarted the opponent's plan.

It can only be said that time is fate.

Dark creatures like the Mouth of Silence and the Dementor were completely restrained by Sean's Dark Sleeper, and the enemy kindly helped him close the curtains with this invisible method.

For Sean, the more urgent thing is always the next thing, and the plans of the returnees obviously don't stop there.

This obsession may be a good direction to investigate, but Sean has never heard of this name. In my impression, Grindelwald mentioned to himself some ancient and hidden magic, magic props, etc. from time to time in the past, but there was no such name in it.

However, some clues can be seen in the contact Lockhart received.

It seems that the obsessive body does not need to be handled with special care, nor does it need any special magical drive, otherwise Lockhart will be informed of this information during the emergency contact so that he can obtain it.

After thinking about it, Sean opened the ring and said hello, and soon, Cat Leopard Pudding brought up the box containing the obsessive body.

To be on the safe side, Sean still put on a pair of thick dragon leather gloves, and opened the box carefully.

There is no change, and the defensive spells left by him are still intact.

The obsessive body is lying quietly in a box that can bind black magic props.

Sean got closer, and with his sensitivity to dark forces, he didn't notice anything wrong, and the high-precision speculum produced by the system didn't issue any warning.

"This thing itself seems harmless, but it may have various application scenarios with special methods..." Sean thought silently.

After checking again to make sure there was no problem, Sean took off the dragon leather gloves.

He moved closer again, and carefully looked at the black crystal called obsessive body.

It is about 20 centimeters long and no more than 5 centimeters at its widest point. It is a very standard rhombus. Strangely, under the reflection of the torches of the Room of Requirement and the ceiling of the starry sky, there is no reflection on the pitch-black crystal surface.

It seems to absorb the bright light that hits the surface.

Sean tried to look inside the obsessive body, but he still couldn't see anything. There seemed to be only a vague mist inside.

Moreover, the obsessive body does not have the feeling that the dark props in the novel will **** people's mind in at a glance.

Sean finally tried to touch it, and it was cold, like an ordinary crystal. However, even after touching it for a long time, the top will not become warm due to Sean's body temperature, and the obsessive body will still be the same as before.

The spell doesn't work, the touch doesn't work, the thing seems like a stone that won't be affected.

"It's a little strange," Xiao En touched his chin and thought, "Obviously I can feel a magic power, but this magic power is not outstanding, but it will not be ignored by people, but all kinds of magic spells that induce magic power There is no movement after casting it..."

Just as Sean was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the wooden door of the Room of Requirement.

"Huh?" Sean put away the obsessive body and turned his head away.

With their own consent, Hermione and Daisy can directly push the door and come in, while others can't even see the door without Sean's consent. The only ones who can see and knock on the door are...

Sure enough, when Sean opened the door, the petite silver-haired girl was standing in the corridor looking up at him slightly.

This kid really hasn't changed at all...Such a sentence popped out silently in Sean's mind.

"Good evening, Stephanie," Sean greeted.

"Good evening, Sean." Stephanie nodded at him.

After letting the other party in, Sean closed the door and asked, "What's the matter, can you find me if you need anything?"

As a girl who doesn't like to talk nonsense, Stephanie has always been direct.

She said straight to the point: "Sean, have you been troubled recently?"

Sean, who was caught off guard by the girl's question, was taken aback for a moment, and then spread his hands: "Obviously yes—to be precise, I have always been troubled, but recently there have been more problems."

Even through the lady's glasses with golden frames, Stephanie's eyes are still shining. Although her charm ability has long been useless to Sean, it has to be said that the other party looks very beautiful.

"Because I was also involved in this matter that day, the professors also revealed some news to me. I discussed it with Professor Baburin, and finally agreed that this still involves ancient runes and ancient magic."

"Ancient runes..." Sean pressed his temple with some headaches.

My talent for ancient runes is really hopeless. Up to now, I have been relying on the two points of talent given in the Dumbledore elementary suit that I got at the beginning... If it is still the original 0 point talent, Sean doubts that he will Can't even understand the introductory course.

It's not that he doesn't want to remedy it, but that there is really no good way to remedy this talent.

The talent points he has drawn so far, excluding those directly added to the fixed talents, the talent points that can be freely allocated are only a few points.

And Xiao En is a person who likes to specialize. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com decided to increase the nine-point talent of Transfiguration to ten points and not add it, but to increase the two-point talent of ancient runes to three points. It's not his character.

Of course, his other talents are basically full now, and if he can still draw free distribution talent points in the future, Sean will definitely add them to the ancient runes.

He is now relying on Thelma Murphy's make-up lessons and the monthly [Sigh of the Old Man] to keep up with Professor Babling's teaching progress...

"I'm really not very good at this..." Sean spread his hands helplessly.

Stephanie looked up at him, her face expressionless, but her eyes twinkled with stars.

"I can help you."

"Huh?" Sean didn't respond for a moment.

"You need a huge source of information to analyze various things, and you are not very good at ancient runes, but I am very good at it." Stephanie said bluntly, "To be precise, in terms of knowledge reserve alone, I am better than a library. Madam Pince, the administrator, and more."

"Because I really like reading." The girl said seriously.
