"... He will next serve as a teaching assistant in the Herbology class, and Professor Sprout should be very happy."

Professor McGonagall introduced the new batch of teaching assistants, and soon the last one arrived.

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

"Mr. Dawson is from Durmstrang and will be the teaching assistant of the Charms class next - Mr. Dawson, how did you become like this? What happened? When you were interviewed a few days ago, you were still in good condition. Very good." Professor McGonagall pushed up her glasses and looked at Max Dawson, who seemed to have been beaten.

Sean on the side also cast his eyes over. 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 principal, Karkaroff.

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

"Something's wrong...Professor McGonagall."

"Is there a need for Hogwarts? Or have you changed your mind?" Professor McGonagall asked.

Dawson shook his head: "No, it's my honor to pass the Hogwarts interview. I just met some people in the past two days..."

He gritted his teeth with some annoyance and shame: "After passing the interview, I went back to Durmstrang——"

The eyes of others looking at Dawson suddenly became strange.

Dawson waved his injured hand: "Please don't get me wrong, I didn't tell anyone about my upcoming appointment at Hogwarts - I just wanted to get a copy of the notes."

When the conversation came to this point, Dawson, who was worried that others might misunderstand him, simply started talking.

"Those were my personal notes when I was studying at Durmstrang, which were also combined with manuscript materials in the Durmstrang library, mainly about charms. When I graduated, I took those notes I gave it to a junior classmate with whom I have a good relationship - I shouldn't have needed it originally, but I got the job, so I decided to take these basic notes back and use them as some reference when teaching. .”

As he spoke, his face became a little ugly: "Before that year disappeared, my junior fellow student was a seventh grader, so getting the notes back had no impact on him. This is indeed the case. He is very They received me warmly and returned it to me readily after hearing my purpose, but I didn’t expect..."

"After I finished talking with him, I suddenly wanted to visit the dormitory where I had lived for seven years. After all, I haven't been back to school for so long -" As he said, there was obvious anger in Dawson's eyes, "No. I know what the school is doing, so logically, the dormitory location should be in that area, but I didn’t find it?!”

"In other words, I didn't find the wrong location, but the original dormitory area has been transformed and turned into a strange room - I didn't even want to go in and take a look, after all, I am already a graduate. But ! As soon as I got close to it, senior students in school immediately attacked me!"

"Those...those bastards used magic to attack me directly in school. There were too many of them!" Dawson's face turned slightly red, and he didn't seem to have enough confidence in his defense.

It seemed that there weren't many who attacked him, but Mr. Dawson was obviously defeated... Sean on the side thought secretly in his heart.

Otherwise, Dawson wouldn't be like this, and when it came to the number of attackers, he was vague and brushed it off.

Is Durmstrang’s senior class so strong?

Sean looked at the new assistant coaches carefully when he came in. He had dealt with strong people a lot, so his judgment of strength was fairly accurate. This Max Dawson's strength should be able to firmly enter the top three among the new assistants, and Professor McGonagall's selection criteria have always been very high.

"What happens next?" Professor McGonagall asked with a frown.

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

Judging from this appearance, it should not be the so-called "leaving", but a beating after being disarmed. The posture of leaving is probably very smooth.

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

A little strange...

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

Dawson's face turned red. He waved his hand repeatedly and accidentally touched his injured neighbor, grimacing in pain.

"No, no need... I have left a letter to Principal Karkaroff. Those lawless bastards will be punished."

"That's good - by the way, Mr. Dawson, maybe you can consider looking for our school nurse, Mrs. Pomfrey, she, um -" Professor McGonagall hesitated, and she also saw that this McGonagall S. Dawson is quite face-conscious.

Sean continued: "Mrs. Pomfrey is currently testing a new nourishing potion. She urgently needs a new experimental 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 an indifferent look: "Then I'm quite happy to help."

After everyone else left the staff room, Sean who stayed behind asked Professor McGonagall: "Mr. Max Dawson, are you okay?"

Professor McGonagall nodded: "The candidates were recruited through normal screening, and the recommenders were also very reliable adult wizards - the Polyjuice Potion test and the Imperius Curse test were tried during the interview, and there was no sign of being disguised or being controlled. Or suspicion."

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

If this is the case, then it is difficult to say what Durmstrang's true appearance is.

"But those are all tested during the interview, right?" Sean asked.

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

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

Professor McGonagall pondered for a while and nodded: "What you said makes sense. I didn't think carefully. I will find a way to check Dawson's current state of mind again."

"Um."

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

"After checking, Dawson showed no signs of being controlled, and he didn't try to go to some uninhabited place. He is quite honest and peaceful." Professor McGonagall told Sean.

Sean thought for a moment while dragging his chin, and then 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 I am 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 he simply transformed a secret room, and then just when Max Dawson tried to enter, it was guarded. The students were beaten.

Sean and Professor McGonagall discussed it 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, necessary monitoring is still indispensable. If there is nothing wrong in the future, then it can be cancelled.

Under this situation, time flew by for another month, and the atmosphere at Hogwarts became unprecedentedly solemn.

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

Moreover, two grades have to take the O.W.L.S exam at the end of the semester, and students in these two grades are very busy.

During this period, while ensuring his other courses, Sean also continued to teach Transfiguration - with remarkable results.

For example, the first-year students who have not been in school for half a year have completely caught up with the entire year's courses under Sean's guidance, and many of them have even performed exceptionally well.

Sean estimated that among the first-year students he taught, a few talented students could barely keep up with Hermione's progress - of course, this was without considering Sean.

The progress analogy here is compared to Hermione if Sean is not around.

Nowadays, Hermione is a super academic and has a lot of ambition to win. She progresses much faster than a normal fourth grade student, and it goes without saying that she is strong.

In other courses, the workload of professors has been reduced a lot because of the addition of teaching assistants.

Charlotte and Colton should be the two assistant coaches with the best performance besides Sean.

The two of them "joined forces" and almost snatched away Lockhart's remaining fans. Now, Lockhart, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor officially hired by Hogwarts, has basically been eliminated. Charlotte and Colton It's much easier to talk than him.

And Max Dawson, whom Sean and Professor McGonagall had always been wary of, also performed well, at least as a teaching assistant.

Sean plans to monitor the situation until the end of the semester. If nothing happens, there will be no need to continue to cause trouble for the other party.

In fact, it's not too much trouble. I just check from time to time to see if he has mixed with Polyjuice Potion or is controlled by the Imperius Curse.

At present, it seems that although the atmosphere in Hogwarts Castle is tense and anxious, it is also a good place for learning and progress.

In the Room of Requirement, Sean was looking at the strange-looking wand in his hand.

After receiving the honor of being the golden prize as a staff maker, Sean made several attempts. After all, the Wallop family would not be short of gold Galleons even if they were short of others.

However, the difficulty of embedding was somewhat beyond Sean's expectation.

Wand Maker's Glory (Gold): Within ten hours after use, you will gain keen observation of the wand wood and core material, and gain the ability to [embed], with a cooling time of one natural month.

[Embedded]: You can embed a second magic material into a finished wand. The power and controllability 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 embed a variety of wand cores into a brand new wand embryo (a wand without a wand core embedded in it). The number of embedded wand cores is related to the material of the wand wood and the fit of the various wand cores.

Tip: Implanting it hastily may cause the wand embryo and core to be destroyed, so please be careful.

This is the purpose of the golden prize. Since the cooldown time is a full month, it cannot be wasted.

Sean is going to use a lot of powerful magic materials as the main materials 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 had always opened up his abilities and tested them one by one. However, he discovered that even though the honor of being a wand maker gave Sean extraordinary sharp senses, he could not stuff various wand cores into the wand blank well.

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

The wand is made of oak wood that can sensitively sense the owner's emotions. This wood is very loyal to the owner and will also provide different levels of magic output depending on the owner's emotional changes.

If your air pressure has been very low recently and you have a lot of negative emotions, then oak will appear a little weak. If you're in a positive mood, oak can be more powerful than other wand woods.

Of course, the more critical thing is the wand core. With the [Embedded] skill, Sean boldly chose two wand cores, phoenix tail feathers and unicorn tail feathers.

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.

Unlike other oak wands, Sean's wand is obviously thick at the bottom, and then rapidly shrinks in diameter as it goes up.

The surface is smoother and shiny than an ordinary wand, but it feels good in Sean's hand.

Phoenix tail feathers and unicorn tail hairs give this wand a wonderful feel, while also showing a mixture of silver and red at the tip.

Sean suppressed the excitement in his heart and cast a spell seriously.

"The flames are raging ()"

The graceful and warm flames spurted out, and the beating flames were as proud as a phoenix, but in front of Sean, they were as smooth and gentle as a unicorn.

The casting speed has been improved...the power has been greatly improved...and the controllability has improved a lot...

Sean, who often changes 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!
