Chapter 198： I'm back!

In the Ravenclaw common room, a cold wind is blowing outside the arched windows. At this point in time, the lounge is a little cold. Unlike Hufflepuff's lounges on dry, warm ground, the towers above are always a little lonely.

However, Sean, Hermione, and Daisy had a lively chat.

Under the dome depicting the stars, the trio sat in their usual little nook, near the alcove with the white statue of Rowena Ravenclaw, a position that Hermione said made more sense when studying.

"Thank goodness Sean, you're really fine!" Hermione and Daisy shared a blanket, huddled together with a look of surprise on their faces.

"I've been lucky, except for being a little hungry, I'm fine, thank you for your concern." Sean leaned back in his chair lazily and replied with a smile.

Daisy sat up straight, freeing herself from the blanket, one foot was already on the ground.

"I'm going to get you something to eat. There were a lot of snacks left over from last Halloween—and, I hid a little dinner and brought it back to the dormitory." The girl said a little embarrassedly.

"No need, food will be delivered later," Sean stopped her and asked curiously, "Why are you bringing dinner back to the dormitory now?"

Hermione gathered up the slipping blanket for Daisy and explained, "Harry lent Daisy the Invisibility Cloak, and we both would sneak out of the dorm to go to the library in the middle of the night - not sleeping in the middle of the night, always feeling hungry. Yes, most of that food went into my stomach."

Daisy pursed her lips and looked at Hermione gratefully.

In fact, Hermione had a poor appetite during this time, but she was hungry after sleeping late, so she had no choice but to bring dinner back for supper.

The relationship between the two has become closer and closer recently. When they were getting along, Daisy, who had an explosive appetite, expressed her concern to Hermione: will eating too much make others feel that she is not cute enough or something...

What she didn't expect was that Hermione thought of this thoughtfully and helped her maintain a wave of image in front of Sean.

Daisy continued, "Actually, Hermione has been working really hard these days..."

Sean looked at Hermione, who had an indistinct blush on the latter's face.

"Hermione spends her time in the library, she's always trying to find some information about the castle, she's worried you've strayed somewhere, after all, there are all kinds of magical spaces in Hogwarts Castle. And , Every day after class, Hermione takes me to the professor to ask about the situation. Professor Flitwick is always perfunctory to us... So we thought of other ways. Brother Fred and Harry often go to various When I was looking for someone, Hermione took me to look up the information, and she even suggested that I go to the forbidden book area in the middle of the night to find the information." Daisy gushed about Hermione's efforts during this period of time.

"Daisy, stop talking..." Hermione looked a little embarrassed.

Seeing the appearance of the two, Sean was moved, and he smiled even more brilliantly.

"I know that we don't need too much politeness in our relationship, but I have to say, thank you very much for your concern and efforts, it makes me a little..."

Hermione glared at him and interrupted what he was about to say a little anxiously: "It's just fine... Daisy and I have learned a lot during this time... Anyway, it's good that people are fine... "

Daisy also nodded her head quickly.

Sean smiled and nodded: "Yes, everything is fine."

After this sentence, suddenly no one spoke, and there was a brief calm in the empty lounge.

Several people looked at each other, and finally burst out laughing.

Hermione seemed completely relaxed, leaning back comfortably and wearily on the back of her chair, the first time she'd sat in the lounge but didn't want to open a book at all.

Daisy rested her head on her shoulder with a smile and some sleepiness on her face.

The two girls tilted their heads to stick to each other. Sean smiled and watched this scene without speaking, enjoying some kind of indescribable warmth.

At this time, the air at the entrance of the lounge suddenly distorted, and after a slight pop, a house elf with a large dinner plate appeared here.

He was wearing a tea towel with the Hogwarts crest, his slender fingers dragging the plate with ease, and he bowed in exaggerated form to several of them.

"It's an honor to meet you, and I have permission from Mr. Dumbledore to teleport into the lounge to serve dinner to Mr. Sean Wallup!" he screeched.

"Thank you," Sean stood up and took the plate, then saw the other side's face, "Konis? Hey, good evening, it's a pleasure to see you."

He had been to the kitchen many times before, and he had met a lot of house-elves who worked for Hogwarts. One of them was Conis. He was probably the foreman, and he was a very enthusiastic guy.

Conis widened his eyes, which were originally raised far beyond the bulging eyeballs of ordinary wizards, which would be like two light bulbs.

"Mr. Wallup!" he screamed and even whimpered, "God, you still remember me!"

"Of course, haven't we known each other for a long time?" Sean replied with a smile.

He stretched out his hand, wanting to shake hands with Konis.

Conis trembled with excitement, and he shouted in disbelief, "Are you going to shake hands with me?!"

"Yes, Conis." Sean understood the idea of ​​house-elves very well. The other party believed that he was inferior to wizards from the bottom of his heart. This kind of philosophy is difficult to change.

Sean never cared about that, though, he liked making friends with people. And, deep in his heart, there was always an idea that races like magical beasts and house-elves were more reliable than humans...

Cornis carefully shook hands with Sean, then quickly reached back.

He whimpered happily and excitedly, his body swaying.

"I shook hands with Mr. Wallup!" he shrieked. "God, my friends will die with envy!"

"I won't wash my hands for ten years! I wish you a happy meal! And two beautiful ladies!" With Sean's helpless expression, Cornis bowed deeply, and then disappeared into the air.

Sean held the dinner plate and shrugged at the two girls who didn't respond: "They're always like this, uh, startled."

Hermione looked a little unbelievable. She frowned and muttered, "I saw the introduction of house-elves in books, but I didn't expect..."

She thought for a while before she came up with a word: "They are so humble."

Sean took the food and returned to his seat. He glanced at Hermione who was thinking. It seemed that Conis' appearance had inspired Hermione's empathy, and the House Elf Rights Promotion Association might be born early.

How should I put it, Hermione's starting point is actually good, but the way he does not agree. So, Sean decided that if Hermione wanted to do this in the future, he would offer some sound advice.

The house-elves are enslaved, but they don't realize it, and that's the point.

Of course, now is not the time to think about that. Sean pushed the plate towards the two girls.

"Let's eat together?"

The two girls looked at each other, Hermione nodded in Daisy's longing eyes, and when Sean returned, the big stone in her heart fell to the ground, and she was a little hungry after she had no appetite.

The house elf's craftsmanship is quite good, and under Dumbledore's order, the food brought this time is very large, the three of them ate a lot, and when the plate was completely empty, they lay down lazily.

During the post-dinner Xiaoshi chat, Sean picked out some of his experiences these days and told the two of them. In the end, Hermione came to a conclusion.

Sean is a troublesome constitution, always attracting all kinds of inexplicable things.

Hearing this kind of evaluation, Sean could only laugh. He was in the prophecy, and things could not escape his physique, and he himself was a curious personality.

While they were talking with a smile, no one noticed that someone was secretly watching them in the passage from the girls' dormitory to the lounge.

It was a silver-haired Stephanie, and she was holding a piece of parchment with a title written on the top in beautiful squiggles.

An overview of the secret Hogwarts rooms and known ways to enter.

The special places in the various castles are recorded in detail on the parchment, and the way to enter is marked in detail at the back. There are some places where there is no way to enter, but the general condition of the place is also specifically written.

Even the entrance to the secret room was written in.

Stephanie hid in the shadows expressionlessly. She looked at the three joking Sean, and lowered her head to glance at the parchment in her hand.

She took out her wand, but without making any sound, the tip of the wand started to ignite.

She wanted to bring the flame close to the parchment, but she seemed to hesitate again when the corner of the parchment began to burn.

Finally, Stephanie put out the flame on the tip of her wand and walked back to the bedroom in silence.

...

The next day, Sean, who was still sleeping in bed, suddenly felt a weight, and he opened his eyes and looked over.

I had a very late chat with Hermione and Daisy last night, and it would still be confusing to see.

"Shaun! You're back!" His roommate Terry Boot hugged his quilt in surprise.

"Hey, Terry, good morning..." Sean greeted sleepily.

"Terry, I said, Sean must be tired, you shouldn't bother him." Another roommate, Anthony Goldstein, said next to him.

The other roommates also looked at Sean in surprise.

"Good morning guys... so happy to see you guys... hey! I'm not up yet! Don't hug me! Ugh!"

The enthusiasm of the classmates is obviously more than one point. Sean also received surprise shouts and countless hugs in the Ravenclaw lounge. When he appeared in the Great Hall, Hogwarts, who had been low for a while, suddenly became active.

The Weasley twins laughed and hugged Sean's shoulders, winking at him and whispering in their ears.

"Sean, have you discovered any secret location?! Remember to take us there next time!"

The Gryffindor trio, Harry, Ron and Neville happily hugged Sean as well, Percy looked excited as he charged his brothers not to hinder Sean's breakfast, Smiling and shaking hands with Sean.

Cedric's handsome face was full of smiles, and he looked kind of silly.

Sean's good popularity is undoubtedly reflected at this moment. All those who are familiar with him will come up to hug him, and those who are not familiar with him will also follow the appearance of others and come up to shake hands.

"It's great that you're all right, Sean!"

"Welcome back, Wallup!"

In the warm greetings of others, Sean made a random excuse, saying that he had accepted Dumbledore's special mission and had to leave Hogwarts for a while.

And somehow, the classmates made up this task as a particularly dangerous thing, and there were constant exclamations in the auditorium. By the time breakfast was over, the rumor had taken on another shape: Sean went to fight ten fire dragons and tamed the Dementors...

The rumors are terrible... The helpless Sean can only think so.

Of course, not everyone welcomed Sean's return. The little snakes watched the lively scene in the auditorium with cold eyes. They pursed their lips unhappily. The students who had grudges with Sean snorted in dissatisfaction.

"Draco, this **** has good luck. What a pity, all your enemies have disappeared." Crabbe said to Malfoy at the dining table.

Malfoy echoed a few words absentmindedly, his face was proud and indifferent, it seemed that this enemy was not in his eyes.

However, when no one noticed, Malfoy raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

"Draco, did you think of anything happy?" Goyle finished eating the eighth sausage and looked back just to see Malfoy's expression.

"Idiot, which one of your eyes is happy to see me!" Malfoy scolded a little flustered, his pale face flushed with blood, "Hmph, fortunately that **** Wallup is back, I originally thought That's where his methods come in handy!"

"Oh, that's it!" Goyle suddenly realized, lowered his head and started to eat the ninth sausage.

Malfoy glared at him disapprovingly, then to Sean, who was surrounded by the crowd, and he snorted proudly.

Alas, the bad guys live for a thousand years...

In the morning transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall seemed to be very tolerant She was in a good mood, so even the few students who had not practiced beetle-turning buttons well after almost half a semester were not severely criticized by her.

After returning to class, Sean graciously added twenty points to Ravenclaw after she easily transformed the bunny into a pair of house slippers.

After finishing the class in a good mood, Sean received the package. Early in the morning, he wrote back to his parents to express that he was fine, and then ordered a lot of ingredients.

It's a big meal for Dave, Naja, and Pudding.

He took Hermione and Daisy to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor.

Daisy, who came here for the first time, looked around curiously, while Hermione took out a book and read it.

"Sean, look at this." Daisy shouted.

Sean walked over and saw a parchment on the table.

The parchment looked worn, with burn marks on one corner.

An overview of the secret Hogwarts rooms and known ways to enter.
