Chapter 217： Ready

Probably because the effect of the spell is relatively rough, Hermione and Daisy frowned and thought for a long time but couldn't get a satisfactory new name, so Sean decided to be more intuitive.

"Wingardium, it's up to you!"

Hermione and Daisy looked at each other, then turned their heads in unison.

"Don't you think this name is very intuitive?" Sean muttered behind the two of them.

"Sounds domineering, and I bet the name of this spell would get the most votes if it voted—"

"Hey, wait for me-"

...

Sean's busy study life continued. He found that after staying in Nurmengard for a long time, he also developed a lot of familiarity and intimacy.

While everything here is very different from Hogwarts, the students here are not that friendly either.

But after the duel lessons, no one would blatantly come to trouble Sean.

During this time, the Weasley brothers found out about the Nurmengard seventh-grader who had led a gang to beat them. The other party's name is Fabien Aiken, from France. I heard that the family has some connection with the goblin who is responsible for minting coins. It is a famous wealthy family in the French wizarding world.

Not only that, but Fabien Aiken was the student leader of the famous radical wing of the Nurmengard School. In the senior year, the students were about to set foot in the wizarding society, and at this time, some small teams of similar factions were formed in the school.

These teams are similar to the predecessors of some organizations in the wizarding society. The small team that Fabien Aiken is in is said to be linked to the French wizarding community's Wizarding Rights Protection Association.

This "Wizards' Rights Protection Association" seems to be another version of the "Wizards Reform Association" founded by Grindelwald. They believe that wizards are nobler than Muggles, and most of the voices in the association are that wizards should rule the world.

The head of the association is said to be currently running for ministerial in the French Ministry of Magic.

Sure enough, the school is a small society, it's just a fight, and there are so many circles behind the leader.

However, these are not within the scope of Sean's consideration. The student's affairs are resolved by the students, and it is only natural to pay off debts - and who doesn't have a few bigwigs behind them?

Sean asked the twins to inquire about Fabian Aiken's usual route in the castle, and he could use it later.

Now his key task is to wait for the full moon.

One day in mid-January, Sean got up early, got dressed and walked to the window.

The weather outside the window was not bad, and the faint golden sunlight passed through the thin clouds and sprinkled on the mountains next to the castle.

"It looks okay..." Even the always calm Sean would be a little nervous.

Today is the 30th day after taking the mandrake leaves, and Sean can clearly feel that his saliva is secreting more and more. Moreover, the astringent and irritating bad taste on the leaves has completely disappeared, replaced by a sweet iron smell similar to the taste of blood.

As long as tonight's full moon is clear of clouds, the Animagus' first move is a success.

With nervousness and a little nervousness, Sean was not in a good state all day. Fortunately, today's class was not onerous, and no one came to trouble him at this critical time.

Finally, after the afternoon spell class ended, the sky gradually darkened.

"Sean, are you going now?" At the corner of the stone corridor, Hermione looked at the boy nervously.

Sean nodded: "It's getting dark now, I have to wait."

In order to facilitate Sean to act quietly, Grindelwald opened the terrace on the east side of the castle to him. As long as the full moon rises in the sky, Sean will immediately take out the leaves.

The first step in becoming an Animagus involves taking the leaf out at the full moon, filling a small crystal vial with saliva, soaking the leaf in it, and allowing it to receive pure moonlight.

After the moonlight is received, the crystal bottle should be placed in a quiet, dark place, absolutely not allowed to come into contact with sunlight, nor be seen or disturbed by wizards.

To make sure everything goes smoothly, Hermione and Daisy can't go with Sean.

"It will go well." Both girls cheered.

"I think so too." Sean smiled.

When Sean and the two walked to the empty east terrace, the sky was completely dark, but the sky was dark and the moon had not yet risen.

"I hope there are no accidents... I hope there are no dark clouds..." Sean prayed secretly.

As time passed, the huge bells of "dong", "dong", "dong" sounded, which is the sound of the bell tower on the northernmost side of Nurmengard Castle.

"Huh?" Sean looked north suspiciously.

This clock tower does not usually tell the time, and only rings when the students need to gather. Valley

"Dinner should have just ended by now..." Sean muttered, he hesitated, whether he wanted to go over to gather.

At this moment, footsteps came from the entrance of the terrace, and Grindelwald appeared with his hands behind his back.

"gentlemen……"

"Shh..." Grindelwald made a gesture with a finger to his lips, and he smiled, "Now is the critical time, you just need to focus on what's in front of you."

He stood at the entrance, leaning casually against the stone wall.

"There is at least an hour before the full moon rises. Of course, you are right to come here and prepare in advance," he looked interested. "In order to avoid accidents, I made a random excuse for the students to go back to rest, so, No one will disturb your actions tonight."

It turned out that the bell was for me... Sean nodded gratefully.

"Thank you so much, sir."

Grindelwald waved his hand: "Of course you have to thank me, I am so considerate and kind--ha, aren't you used to it? If Albus was that guy, he would definitely do all this in secret and silently. I just It's different, the purpose of doing this is to form a good relationship with you, and now you owe me a little favor, and you have to pay it back later—"

Really an old man who doesn't play cards according to the routine... Sean nodded with a smile: "Of course, sir."

"You can understand, oh, I already feel our hearts are getting closer, this feeling is really good-" Grindelwald snapped his fingers, the hot butter beer and the steaming steak Appeared next to Sean, "There's still time, I won't disturb you, remember to eat~"

He waved with a smile and left the terrace.

Candid and humorous, Grindelwald's charisma is really not covered...

Sean sighed and drank a warm butterbeer, looking up at the sky while eating his steak.

However, after the glass was empty for a while, and the warmth from the butterbeer dissipated on Sean's body, the moon still did not appear.

The sky was pure black velvet, no clouds, no stars, no moon.

"It's not time yet, I'm not sure..." Sean used a magic spell to create a blue bellflower-like flame, and he muttered with his hands beside the flame to keep warm.

As time went on, Sean became more and more restless.

"Huh..." He glanced at the time, it had been four hours since he came here, and it was nearly ten o'clock in the evening, but the night in the sky was still dark.

If it exceeds twelve o'clock, it means that a natural month has passed completely. At that time, even if the moon hangs high again, it will be useless.

Sean gave a wry smile, although he had already done a good job of psychological construction, Animagus is not so easy to become. But failing by luck does make one feel bad.

Time passed bit by bit, and there were only the last twenty minutes left until the end of the day. At this moment, a half full moon finally faintly appeared from the highest part of the sky.

"There's still drama!" Sean's spirits were lifted, and the potion in the crystal bottle only needed a few minutes of moonlight.

The moon seemed to hear his prayer, and the thick cloud layer in the sky finally began to move slowly.

The bright full moon finally showed its full body with only ten minutes left.

Sean, who was ready for a long time, immediately opened the cork of the crystal vial and filled it with saliva and spit out the leaves to soak in it.

He placed the crystal vial on the railing so that it could fully receive the pure moonlight.

"Three hundred, two hundred ninety-nine, two hundred and ninety-eight..." Xiao En counted his heartbeat silently.

After 300 heartbeats, he pulled one of his own hair, put it in a silver teaspoon and put it into the crystal bottle. The dew on the teaspoon was collected from a place without sunlight or human contact for seven full days.

When these things were completely put into the crystal bottle, Sean saw that the liquid in it suddenly calmed down, the fine air bubbles inside quickly disappeared, and his hair was closely attached to the leaves along the veins of the mandrake. superior.

It fits the description... Phew, Sean took a deep breath, then took out a brown-black cocoon-like object and put it in, with a gloomy face pattern on it, which was the pupa of the ghost-faced hawkmoth.

After throwing in the chrysalis, Sean immediately closed the cork, then put the crystal vial into a sealed medicine box, and then hurried to the basement classroom.

God still favors me... Sean thought happily as he quickened his pace.

It was already midnight, and Grindelwald also issued a notice of curfew. There were no troublemakers in the castle, and Sean came to the basement without any hindrance.

He quickly opened the stone room in the inner corner of the room, and carefully placed the crystal vial in the innermost corner.

When the door of the stone room was closed, Sean breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh...Although it was a little tight in the end, it went well unexpectedly." He wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered to himself with ease.

Next, is to wait until the day of the storm.
