The day of the duel at Hogwarts

During the Transfiguration practical exam, the officials from the Ministry of Magic looked at the animals running on the ground and flying in the room, and couldn't help but admire: "Incomparably exquisite Transfiguration, undoubtedly the fourth stage, only the fifth grade, it is really amazing!"

Listening to the praise from the Ministry of Magic officials, Professor McGonagall standing on the side of the classroom couldn't help but smile, with a face full of pride. The fourth stage of Transfiguration in the fifth grade was nothing more than that of Dumbledore.

Of course, you cannot bring magic items with you during the exam.

So at this moment, Sean's transformation technique is his true strength. Although it is just his first time, it is really not as good as the fourth stage transformation technique!

Since obtaining the Raven's Claw, Sean's transformation skills have been improved and reached the fourth stage.

At the beginning, Sean was just ignorant in using the fourth stage of transformation. However, as time went by, Sean gradually realized the true meaning of the fourth stage of transformation while using it. , and successfully crossed the threshold from the third stage to the fourth stage of transformation that had hindered him for a long time.

It was also at this time that Sean realized that the real function of the Raven's Claw was to allow wizards to understand the secrets of higher-level transformations in advance, and gradually experience higher-level transformations through repeated use. Just like when ordinary people are studying, one is self-study and the other is under the guidance of a famous teacher. Naturally, the results are completely different.

After finishing the Transfiguration exam, Sean came to the final Potions practical exam point.

Walking into the classroom, there were already many seventh graders making potions here, including Sean's acquaintance, Buck Ike from Ravenclaw, who had participated in the Potions Club together. This year happens to be seventh grade.

Seeing Sean walk into the classroom, Buck Ayk obviously already knew that Sean was preparing to take the OWL and NEWT exams consecutively, so he was not surprised when Sean walked in. When the two people's eyes met, Buck Ayk nodded slightly with Sean, then continued to lower his head and began to brew his own potion.

Those who can enter Snape's Potions Club are naturally among the top Potions geniuses in Hogwarts. However, in front of Sean, all of these Potions geniuses' aura of genius dissipates.

Regarding Sean's Potions practice, the Ministry of Magic officials who took the exam could only smile bitterly.

It stands to reason that as the official of the Ministry of Magic who is in charge of the Potions Examination, his potions ability can be regarded as quite outstanding. He is even qualified to recommend and nominate papers to "The Golden Crucible". In the British Potions academic world, He also has a certain status.

But no matter how high his status was, after meeting Sean, he could only smile bitterly.

Looking at Sean who was brewing the elixir quickly and neatly, the Ministry of Magic official sniffed it gently and tested it again. He couldn't help but admired: "The highest quality elixir. If such a elixir is... If it is placed in the Ministry of Magic, many departments will probably compete for it."

Sean looked at the Ministry of Magic official who was reluctant to part with the elixir. He smiled and said to him: "If you don't mind, this elixir will be given to you."

Upon hearing this, the official from the Ministry of Magic's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded and said, "Is it really okay? Then I'm not welcome!"

Looking at the Ministry of Magic official who quickly put away the elixir, Sean nodded to him again, turned around and left the classroom, and his exam this time was completely over!

"Huh..." After exhaling, Sean stretched and murmured to himself: "I'm exhausted. Fortunately, I don't have to come to Hogwarts again in the future. Once Voldemort is solved, I can live my life." It’s time to live your life.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sean was ready to go find Snape.

His paper was mailed out before, but it has been almost two weeks. The editorial department of "The Golden Crucible" has not given him an approval letter yet, and he doesn't know what they are doing to aesthetically review his paper, so Sean I want to go to Snape and ask about this.

But just as he was about to go find Snape, Buck Ike, who had just finished his exam and walked out of the classroom, suddenly stopped Sean.

"Sean, are you going to find Professor Snape?"

After hearing Buck Ayk's words, Sean immediately turned to look at him, nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, after the exam, prepare to talk to the professor about the paper."

"Then just wait a moment. Before the exam, I happened to see Professor Snape leaving Hogwarts. I don't know what he was going to do. But thinking about it, the things that needed him to leave Hogwarts to deal with should be He won't be back soon. It's probably been less than three hours since I saw him leave Hogwarts just now. There should be no one in the Potions office now."

"Professor Snape left Hogwarts? Why?"

Hearing Sean's words, Buck Ike was stunned for a moment. He was about to say that he didn't know, but saw Sean frown slightly and fell into deep thought. Only then did he realize that what Sean just said didn't seem to be for him.

After waiting for a while and seeing that Sean had not yet spoken, Buck Ike shrugged, told Sean that he was leaving first, and left the dungeon where the Potions practical examination was held.

At this time, Sean came to his senses and walked quickly to Snape's office.

After learning from Buck Ike that Snape had left Hogwarts, Sean had been having a bad premonition, so he came directly to Snape's office and stretched out his hand to press Snape's hand. On the door of the office, a halo of light lit up in the pupils of the eyes, and at the same time, a white mist filled the eyes.

Scenes about Snape appeared in Sean's sight.

Because the door of Snape's office was used as a medium, the first scene that Sean saw was about this door, and this first scene was something that Sean had experienced in the past.

Sean saw himself running out of the office, slipping away quickly before Snape started spewing venom.

But after Sean left, Snape reached out and pressed on the Dark Mark on his right hand, with a slightly painful expression on his face.

Then the screen flickered quickly, and it was fixed on Snape, who was constantly paying attention to Sean's exams. Until Snape was sure that Sean only had the Potions exam left, he turned back to his office and tidied up a little. I picked up my things and left Hogwarts.

After this, there is a scene of Snape going to the hidden Malfoy Manor and going to the hidden secret room to meet Voldemort. However, the scene becomes very unclear at this point until it disappears completely. Every time Sean uses his spiritual vision, There will be inexplicable interference when observing Voldemort.

Looking at the future picture that became blurred and disappeared, Sean's uneasiness became more and more intense.

After thinking for a while, he made up his mind.
