"When will this day end..." There were students in small groups in the corridor, and Harry was looking at the garden outside with interest.
Because of the damage to the invisibility cloak, Harry had been feeling a little depressed, at least on the surface.
However, Daisy said her brother was so depressed because he couldn't play Quidditch.
The Ministry of Magic's ban is still ongoing, and students without outdoor activities are as languid as flowers and plants without water, especially the crazy Quidditch enthusiasts.
I heard that Wood, the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, has begun to suffer from insomnia. He needs to hold the Quaffle to fall asleep quietly.
Although Sean has never been interested in Quidditch, this does not prevent him from expressing sympathy for his friends.
"Man, just bear with me, this won't last long."
Hermione was still looking through the books that Sean had brought out from the Ravenclaw Chamber of Secrets, and she comforted casually: "Actually, we are fine here. I heard that it is more strict outside, whether it is other magic schools or wizard gathering places. Yes.
Over there in Diagon Alley, the business of Old Tom's bar has plummeted, and the alley is patrolled by Aurors and escorts every day - the last time Hagrid took a pass to go to Diagon Alley to buy supplies, he was inspected three times in half an hour."
Harry drooped his head: "The main reason is that the atmosphere is too depressing, and time has always been confused recently. Sometimes I worry that when I wake up, I will suddenly be a year older."
"This situation is unrealistic. To disappear for a year is unimaginable to the world - but Sean is one year older. Happy birthday." Hermione closed the book and said.
Today is Sean's birthday.
Sean smiled casually: "Thank you, Hermione. However, birthdays happen every year, so I don't really care about it."
"Fred and George said they were going to have a birthday party for you."
"Those two guys just wanted to take the opportunity to have some fun. However, I don't object. It's a good thing to have some fun for everyone. I hope there won't be any time confusion today."
Daisy continued next to her: "If it's thirty or forty hours, that's not bad. Your birthday will be extended!"
"That sounds good."
While several people were talking, Sean suddenly felt his magic power fluctuate.
That was the Mark of the Mutated Golden Dawn he left in Nurmengard - news from Lupine.
After talking to a few people, Sean quickly left and entered the Room of Requirement. After using the disappearing cabinet to move to Nurmengard, he saw a note.
"Something big has happened. Let's meet and discuss it in detail - Remus Lupin."
Something big happened... is it related to the recent time travel accident?
Sean didn't hesitate, he grabbed a handful of Floo powder and stepped into the green flames.
five minutes later.
"Look at this." Lu Ping handed over a newspaper in the private reception room.
Sean took the newspaper and saw the black-and-white photo of the event at a glance. On it, several wizards in guard uniforms were shooting spells at another wizard.
That's Newt Scamander.
Sean frowned and read on.
"Just yesterday, this newspaper received information that Mr. Newt Scamander, a well-known magical zoologist in the wizarding world and professor of the Care of Magical Creatures class at Hogwarts, was attacked by a guard while meeting friends."
"Various facts have shown that the Wizards United Guards wanted to kill one of the witnesses of the Paris gang at that time, and the root of all these actions pointed to the former Nurmengard principal, Garret Green, who was wanted by various countries.
Devo."
"As we all know, about six months ago, the Guard sent out a large number of personnel to try to arrest Grindelwald, and Newt Scamander served as a witness - a witness to Grindelwald's crimes committed decades ago."
"At that time, everyone believed that this matter was correct and just. But it didn't take long for a series of scandals about the Guards to break out. All kinds of evidence pointed to the Guards trying to frame Grindelwald."
"But one cannot make a decision without Mr Scamander's testimony being changed or retracted."
"However, just some time ago, we learned that Professor Scamander had been secretly threatened."
A fat old man with gray hair appeared on the page, with a simple and honest smile.
"Scamander's close friend, Jacob Kowalski, a Muggle from the United States, and his wife have long been secretly imprisoned. The escort team used this to blackmail Mr. Scamander into providing perjury."
"We don't know what happened during this period, but obviously, in order to ensure that the testimony will always be valid, the escort team came to a new conclusion-only the dead will not recant their confessions."
"According to the information sent back by our informant, the convoy attacked Mr. Scamander and his friends who were traveling to the United States. Currently, their whereabouts, life and death are unknown, and the convoy has not yet sent a spokesperson to explain all this.
"
"We are almost certain that Mr. Gellert Grindelwald was framed!"
After reading this report, Sean didn't know what to say for a moment.
Professor Scamander was obviously not giving false evidence, he was just following Dumbledore's instructions.
Sean originally thought that when Dumbledore and Grindelwald were acting together, it would be easy for Grindelwald to retract his confession. After all, all he had to do was change Newt's testimony.
However, this series of actions looks like the work of Grindelwald alone.
He couldn't get in touch with Dumbledore, so he chose to use his own method to get Newt to 'change' his testimony.
And this seems to confirm what Dumbledore said to himself a few days ago.
Grindelwald, Dumbledore, these two people can't go back...
Lupine watched Sean finish reading the newspaper and added: "As far as I know, as soon as this report came out, many wizards have clearly expressed their dissatisfaction. They called on the guards to come out and explain the truth of the whole matter.
At the same time, a large number of people united to put pressure on the International Federation of Wizards - they demanded that the wanted order be lifted and Grindelwald be cleared."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sean sighed: "We should be familiar with the forces that are jumping out now?"
Lupine nodded: "Most of them are students who have graduated from Nurmengard in the past few decades, and others can be related to Grindelwald overtly or covertly. In fact, someone came to see me in the morning.
They hope that our organization can also cooperate with them in putting pressure on the Ministry of Magic and the Federation, but considering that we are still operating in secret, I refused them."
"Rejection is correct. In fact, there is no need for our small institution that has just emerged..." Sean said, "What is Professor Scamander's current situation?"
"There is no clear explanation in the newspaper. I went to ask someone about it. Professor Scamander should not have any big problems. What is a little strange is that according to the recent news, the people from the escort team are chasing Professor Scamander to the ancient
of the East.”
Lu Ping considered his words for a while, and finally said doubtfully: "It's not the escort, it seems that there is another force obstructing it. That force hinders the escort most of the time, but it is not strong. Frankly.
Speaking of which, although Professor Scamander is very powerful, he is running away with an old Muggle gentleman after all, and it is a bit strange that he can survive until now..."
The East... Sean said in a deep voice: "Are they deliberately driving Professor Scamander to the East?"
Lupine nodded: "Actually, that's how I see it. I feel that the escorts on the surface and the forces behind the scenes are all 'supporting' Professor Scamander to go to a certain place.
They seem to be waiting for Professor Scamander to find something before they take action."
East, Newt... Sean immediately thought of a name.
Qilin, they are looking for Qilin with the help of Newt.
"Remus, is there any change in the election of President of the International Confederation of Wizards?" he asked quickly.
Lu Ping shook his head: "No... It can even be said that the news of the general election is not as big as other things, even if those candidates have already started the final sprint. In half a month, the general election will be held as scheduled.
There is currently no news about postponement or anything like that.”
"However, I heard that the current chairman, Charles Vogel, is under a lot of pressure. He was about to resign, but he encountered the Grindelwald incident. Many people expect him to do more for the Federation before resigning.
Something, you know, the next chairman will hope that his predecessor will be laid off after taking a big blame. However, this chairman usually doesn't take care of things, so I didn't hear any news."
Grindelwald was going to cause trouble in the election of the president of the International Federation of Wizards... This idea came to Sean's mind immediately.
He has never forgotten that without the prophecy he carried, Grindelwald would not be the headmaster of Nurmengard. He had been ready to let wizards rule the world decades ago.
If...if Grindelwald really completes his plan, he will lead the entire wizarding world to war against the Muggle world.
When the time comes, will Dumbledore really be able to persuade him? Will he, a student, be able to speak?
Sean rubbed his temples with a headache.
However, there is no use worrying about it here. All he can do is to make Lu Ping pay more attention to the situation and contact him in a timely manner.
Just when Sean was about to leave, Lupine called him.
The latter took out a lot of large and small gift boxes from behind and said with a smile: "Sean, I have to say, sometimes you put too much pressure on yourself. I always believe that holding on to the beauty in front of you
, it’s a relaxing thing to do – happy birthday.”
Sean was a little surprised, and finally smiled silently.
"Thank you, Remus, I haven't used an owl for a long time, I almost forgot..."
"It's okay, many people remember it. This is mine, this is Lily and James's, this is Sirius's, this is..."
Lupine carefully placed gift boxes of different sizes in front of Sean. Finally, he took out three boxes.
In the center is a huge transparent box. You can see that it is a birthday cake, and the words Sean Happy Birthday written in cream. Next to it is an exquisitely wrapped gift box with a letter pinned on it. At the top is a
It was a handmade box with some loose wrapping paper - there were several big little faces painted on it, all with the brushstrokes that Sean was very familiar with.
"Your parents asked me to send you a gift. Oh, it belongs to your sister. She must miss you very much. By the way, the cake is very big and there is ice cream in it. I used the freezing spell because I was worried that it would melt.
…It seems to be well preserved.”
A warm current arose in Sean's heart. He smiled, shook his head and hugged Lupine.
"Thanks, Remus."
"You're welcome, happy birthday."
That night, Sean shared his birthday cake with his friends, and the Wallops obviously took this into consideration as they ordered enough cake to be shared by many people.
Fred was fussing and shouting "How did you get such a delicious cake?!" while fighting with George, while Ron and Neville were arguing about "The cake in the Muggle world is sprinkled with a little sizzling honey."
Will it destroy the original taste?" Daisy, an avid lover of sweets, was already addicted to the cream.
Sean received a bunch of gifts, and Hermione laughed and said: "They didn't even let you make a wish!"
Sean looked up with a smile: "I don't have any wishes... This is good..."
The happy birthday party lasted for a long time, and finally, Sean found an excuse and walked out.
Pushing open the wooden door of the Room of Requirement, sure enough, Stephanie was sitting quietly in the small bedroom that belonged to her.
Seeing Sean coming, the girl stood up gracefully and handed over a beautifully bound manuscript.
"Happy birthday to you." Stephanie's voice was no longer so cold, it was soft and soft, like a comfortable breeze at night.
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Thank you, but why don't you come with us?" Sean accepted the gift from the other party.
Stephanie shook her head: "Thank you for the invitation, but I don't have to...and I didn't prepare a gift. This is just a manuscript from Ravenclaw, I just sorted it out."
Sean opened the book and grinned: "Will Ravenclaw's manuscript be translated like this in English?"
Stephanie's face turned red and she whispered: "Just some insignificant comments."
Trivial? Just by casually flipping through two pages, Sean also knew that Stephanie must have written this manuscript for a long time. The content in it is detailed and comprehensive, but it will be detailed in detail. For Sean, who is a master of runes,
Significance.
"Thank you, I bet you would be a good teacher if you were willing." Sean praised sincerely.
Stephanie lowered her head, a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes, and she shook her head briskly: "I just like reading."
"Then you might like this..."
Stephanie raised her head in surprise and saw Sean taking out an exquisite gift box.
"You have the same birthday as me, right?" She heard Sean's gentle voice.
The girl raised her hand slightly. She was a little surprised and hesitant, but finally accepted the gift at Sean's urging.
"Thank you..." The joy in Stephanie's voice was difficult to conceal.
Then, she saw Sean magically pull out a mini, less beautiful cake with a candle on top.
"I must admit, this is my improvised birthday cake, I hope you won't mind it," Sean clicked his fingers, and the flames danced happily.
"Make a wish." Sean laughed.
Why is my heart beating so fast... Stephanie thought blankly.
