"Today's class ends here." On the podium, the gloomy Potions Professor glanced at everyone in the classroom. "Tomorrow is the rest day, but I think you may not be qualified to rest..."

"This weekend, everyone will write an article about "The development process of improving the warming potion into the evil-repelling potion and the application scenarios of the two potions in the active era." 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 in excitement.

Snape glanced at Hermione expressionlessly, and then cast his gaze on Sean next to him.

"The famous Mr. Wallop, considering your behavior of skipping class a week ago, your paper is at least two feet long for me. Since you have skipped class, you must be very confident in your potions knowledge. Right? Then... those who can do more work."

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

Only Sean, who looked depressed, and other classmates who looked at him sympathetically were left.

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

Sean lay weakly on the desk: "I can't live this life."

Hermione was packing her things and said: "You should be lucky that Snape didn't even directly give you a failure in Potions class - who in Hufflepuff skipped class last time? Snape I put a big T on his final report card on the spot. The guy even asked Professor Sprout to intercede, and he studied potions crazily in the second half of the semester, but in the end he only got a P."

t is troll - troll, p is poor - failed.

Sean waved his hands weakly: "I would rather he give me a failing grade - this week is really worse than death..."

Within a week after Sean skipped class, Snape was on full display in Potions class, and Harry even made a glorious history of not having any points deducted for three consecutive Potions classes - all thanks to Sean.

In the class just now, Sean was ridiculed by Snape for ten minutes because he didn't hold the silver knife in a straight position after cutting the medicinal materials.

"The way a person arranges his utensils can tell a lot about his state - Mr. Wallop, are you paying attention to this lesson?"

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

"The way you extinguished the crucible really disgusted me... What I taught you in the first class, you forgot so quickly? Oh, by the way, the famous Mr. Wallop, who skipped class, has of course formed It’s a method of operation that belongs to your identity as a potion master, right? - No? Then just do as I say!”

"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, and even if everyone knew that Snape was deliberately trying to find trouble with him.

Who actually missed a class?

If recent events hadn't allowed Sean to get a lot of extra points, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been enough for Snape to deduct...

Sean sighed and took the things Hermione had packed for him, and looked at him eagerly: "That, the respectful and knowledgeable Miss Granger..."

Hermione turned around neatly, leaving him with long, fluffy brown hair.

"No way, don't expect me to write that extra ten inches of paper for you, shameful and lazy Mr. Wallop."

"No, Hermione, help me, I usually copy your Potions papers..."

"Hmph, that was for you to learn from! And this time it's extra homework assigned by Snape to you alone!"

"Don't I have to rely on 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, what an unfortunate homework..."

Sean was holding a hay lollipop in his mouth, and he was weighing it with his legs crossed in an imageless manner.

Hermione had been a lot stricter with him recently. During dinner, Sean had some good talk before Hermione agreed to help him write four inches, which meant that he still had to rely on himself for the remaining twenty inches.

"It's terrible..." Sean sighed.

He's really not very good at writing essays.

"I don't know what the largest font size I can use... Maybe I can use a thicker quill pen..." The miserable young man had already begun to think of all kinds of evil ways.

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

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

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

Let’s think about other things first.

The results of Lockhart's investigation have come out. The professors used veritaserum and sleeping potions, and then asked all the questions they could think of.

Not much gain.

During this period, Professor Flitwick tried to extract some of Lockhart's memories to see what was going on, but the other party's accomplishments in the memory spell were truly astonishing.

Even when he completely lost the ability to resist, the memories in Lockhart's head were as if they had taken root and could not be extracted.

In the end, I had to return to the interrogation method of using truth serum.

The information obtained is similar to what Sean guessed - from the perspective of a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, or even a normal wizard, Lockhart has undoubtedly failed. But from the perspective of an undercover agent, 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 points. All that was left behind were partial recent memories, and all the information he asked was known information.

The only new discovery was that the professors got partial information about the black rhombus crystal.

In Lockhart's memory, the returnee called the black rhombus crystal "obsession" in the emergency contact. He also mentioned that the so-called obsession was something inherited for a long time and was very important. Lockhart needed it. Get it back at all costs.

Sean has never heard of the name Obsession. Not only him, but even the professors have never heard of it. Professor Bablin, who only has the ancient runes, said that the obsession may be the same as the ancient runes. related.

You can't really analyze anything from the name alone, but what matches Sean's guess is that this obsession is indeed very important, at least to the returnees.

It can also be seen from this that the Returners were determined to succeed in their plan, but what they did not expect was that the barrier that trapped Sean and Dawson together became Sean's way to unlock his own restrictions. Best cover.

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

Sean didn't really feel that he had foiled the other party's plan.

All I can say is that time is destiny.

Dark creatures such as the Mouth of Silence and Dementors were completely restrained by Sean's Dark Sleeper, and with this method of being unable to see the light, the enemy thoughtfully helped him close the curtains.

For Sean, the more urgent thing is always the next thing, and the Returners obviously have more plans than that.

This obsession may be a good direction for investigation, but Sean has never heard of this name. In the impression, Grindelwald would mention some ancient secret magic, magic props, etc. to him from time to time in the past, but this name was not among them.

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

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

After thinking about it, Sean opened the ring and said hello. Soon, Cat Leopard Pudding moved up the box containing the obsession.

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

Nothing has changed, and the defensive spells he left behind are still intact.

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

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

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

After checking again to make sure there were no problems, Sean took off his dragon leather gloves.

He got closer again and carefully looked at the black crystal called the obsession body.

It is about twenty centimeters long and only five centimeters wide at its widest point. It is a very standard diamond shape. Strangely, under the reflection of the torches and starry sky ceiling in the Room of Requirement, the dark crystal surface did not reflect any light.

It's like it absorbs the bright light that hits the surface.

Sean tried to look inside the obsession, but still couldn't see anything. There seemed to be only a vague mist-like thing inside.

Moreover, the obsessive body does not have the feeling of being sucked in by a single glance as a dark prop in the novel.

Sean finally tried to touch it. It was as cold as ordinary crystal. However, even after touching it for a long time, it will not become warm due to Sean's body temperature, and the obsession body will remain the same as before.

The spell doesn't work, nor does it work when touched. This thing seems like a stone that cannot be affected.

"It's a bit strange," Sean touched his chin and thought, "You can obviously feel a magic power, but this magic power is not outstanding, but it will not be ignored, but various induction magic spells stimulate magic power. Even after I cast it, there was no movement..."

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

"Huh?" Sean put away his obsession and turned his head.

Hermione and Daisy can directly open the door and come in with their own consent, but 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.

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

"Good evening, Stephanie," Sean greeted.

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

Letting the other party in, Sean closed the door and asked, "What's the matter? You want to see me if you need something?"

As a no-nonsense girl, Stephanie has always been direct.

She said straight to the point: "Sean, are you having some troubles lately?"

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

Even through the gold-rimmed women's glasses, Stephanie's eyes were still sparkling. Although her charm ability had long been useless to Sean, she had to say that he looked very beautiful.

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

"Ancient runes..." Sean pressed his temple with a headache.

His talent in ancient runes is really hopeless. Until now, he has been relying on the two talents gifted in Dumbledore's elementary set that he drew... If it is still the original 0-point talent, Sean doubts it. I 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 extracted so far, excluding those directly added to the fixed talents, there are only a few talent points that can be freely allocated.

And Sean is a person who likes to specialize. It is not his character to increase the nine-point talent of Transfiguration to ten points without increasing it, but to increase the two-point talent of Ancient Runes to three points.

Of course, his other talents are basically full now. If he can still freely distribute talent points in the future, Sean will definitely add them to ancient runes.

He now relies on Thelma Murphy's supplementary lessons and [The Lament of the Ancients] once a month to keep up with Professor Bablin'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 were twinkling.

"I can help you."

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

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

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