Chapter 62： Holiday is about to start

Dumbledore stretched his legs up the steps like a child, his smile gentle and calm.

"Sean, don't take too much pressure, tomorrow is Christmas."

Sean straightened his legs following his example, and the warmth from the stairs made him sigh unconsciously.

"Well...Professor, I have a question." He put his hands on the warm marble steps, "How do you think Hogwarts compares to Nurmengard?"

Dumbledore asked curiously, "Why do you ask, because are you interested in Nurmengard?"

Sean nodded unabashedly: "Yes, professor, although a few experiences are not pleasant, they are enough to make me curious."

"Understandable." Dumbledore agreed, then he looked up and looked forward, not knowing whether he was looking at the castle of Hogwarts or the tower of Nurmengard.

"As a stubborn old man, although I don't want to admit it, I still have to say that Nurmengard has surpassed Hogwarts in some aspects. This is also the original intention of my agreement to academic exchanges."

He took a deep breath and his eyes were fixed: "Hogwarts and I have both been lying down for so long that we have forgotten the school motto."

"Don't disturb the sleeping dragon." Sean said softly.

"Yes," Dumbledore nodded, "but, I still need some time and more attempts."

Sean looked at Dumbledore's expression, and a complex emotion rose up in his heart for no reason.

He and Grindelwald are very old...

"Professor, I hope you can achieve your ideal." Sean said sincerely.

"Thank you, boy." Dumbledore smiled, and he blinked mischievously, "but don't underestimate Hogwarts, even Gellert will admit that a certain Hogwarts Some qualities Nurmengard has yet to touch."

"I think so," Sean nodded. "That's one of the reasons why I chose Hogwarts."

"Although there is suspicion of boasting, I still have to say, the wise choice, Sean." Dumbledore laughed.

Sean also smiled. He had to admit that Dumbledore was indeed a very charming person.

Of course, so did Grindelwald. Sean added in a low voice in his heart.

After chatting casually with Dumbledore for a while, Sean stood up: "I have to go back to the professor, and I have to take the train tomorrow."

"Oh, that's right, that's right, reuniting with the family is something to look forward to." Dumbledore smiled and watched Sean leave.

When Sean came down to the corner of the stairs, the gentle voice of the old man behind him rang: "Sean, choose Hogwarts, you won't be disappointed."

"I understand, Professor." Sean couldn't see Dumbledore anymore, and he shouted at the top of the stairs.

"Haha, I almost forgot, I wish you a happy Christmas in advance, child."

"You too, Merry Christmas, Professor."

When Sean's figure was completely gone, Dumbledore showed a smile.

"I hope you won't let Hogwarts down in the future, Sean."

Then, he sat on the stairs quietly looking in a certain direction, and didn't get up for a long time.

…

Sean, who left, naturally didn't hear Dumbledore's last words. Although the night was full of ups and downs and he had experienced many ups and downs, in general, he was in a good mood.

Moreover, with the double guarantees of Grindelwald and Dumbledore, Sean no longer has to worry about the safety of his family.

He walked into Ravenclaw's tower, and as soon as he stepped on the stairs, he met the eyes of a young girl.

Stephanie Ollivander.

Sean stayed here for a few months, and his height had grown a bit, but the other party had not changed, and he was still petite.

He and the girl looked at each other, looking straight at each other.

This is the first time that Sean did not avoid her eyes, and it was also the first time that he lost his smile when facing his classmates.

"Stephanie, do you know that monocle?" he asked softly.

Stephanie Gujing finally had waves on her face, and she unconsciously lowered her eyes.

The girl hesitated for a moment, but still answered in her cold voice, "Yes."

"I see." Sean paused, then showed his trademark elegant smile again, "It saved my life? Anyway, thank you for your gift, and Merry Christmas, Miss Ollivander."

He didn't look at the girl again, and went straight up the stairs.

Stephanie's expression didn't change at all, but her fingers clenched slightly while holding her old book.

Sean returned to the lounge and saw Hermione reading a book by the bonfire at a glance.

"Hermione, are you still asleep?"

"I want to read this spell book before I go home. I opened a note to Professor Flitwick, and Mrs. Pins reluctantly asked me to take me out of the library. If I bring it home, Pins Madam will definitely kill me." Hermione said quickly without even looking up, staring at the book in front of her.

It's really hard work... Sean smiled and shook his head, then turned around and prepared to walk towards the dormitory.

Halfway through, he stopped, and after struggling with the expression on his face, he sat back next to Hermione.

"You don't have to wait for me, go to sleep." Hermione glanced at him, and then turned her attention back to the book.

Sean shrugged, and he leaned softly on the back of the chair.

"I'm also going to study hard for a while." He naturally brought Hermione's spell notebook in front of him.

Hermione smiled slightly, and handed over another book: "It's better to eat with."

"Dear Miss Granger." Sean took the book and praised with a smile.

The girl's face flushed slightly, and after looking at Sean angrily, she immersed herself in studying again.

"I love to study." Sean shrugged and lowered his head.

The next day, while the two were on their way to the station, Hermione kept complaining to him: "Sean! I just missed the last few pages!"

Sean smiled embarrassingly. Last night, he studied for a while, and then he couldn't help chatting with Hermione.

The girl who was addicted to learning and couldn't extricate herself naturally didn't want to pay attention to him, but Sean was so playful that he dragged Hermione to play.

Hermione, who hadn't read the spell book until midnight, was now full of resentment.

Sean originally wanted to say, "Didn't you control yourself?", but he finally chose to give up.

It's best not to try to reason with a girl, even if the other party is a scholar.

Amidst Hermione's thoughts, the two came to the station to find a box and sat down.

Before the train started, the two boys opened the door of the train compartment. They were panting as if they had just run over.

"Hey, Sean!" Harry and Neville greeted him.

"Oh, Harry, Neville, good morning."

"Do you mind if we sit here?"

Sean cast a questioning look at Hermione.

The girl muttered regretfully in her heart, but nodded anyway.
