The dark wizard's raid did not have much reality for other Hogwarts students, and everyone stayed in the common room that night with apprehension and a little panic.
However, the news that everything was safe was quickly spread back to the students who had not yet fallen asleep. While everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they also began to curiously inquire about what happened.
The only two people who were not in the lounge, Sean and Stephanie, naturally became the focus of everyone. As soon as they returned to the lounge, Sean was surrounded by people.
"Guys, Professor McGonagall will explain the situation to everyone tomorrow." Sean said, rubbing his head.
It's impossible to hide this kind of thing from students. They need to know it every day, morning and night, but Sean really doesn't have any energy now.
He basically didn't suffer any damage in tonight's battle, but his energy and magic power were greatly consumed.
After all, he faced dark wizards who cast killing curses on every disagreement. He seemed to be dealing with them easily, but it was very easy to feel exhausted after being on high alert for a long time after relaxing, which was what Sean was like now.
Fortunately, Sean was quite prestigious in Ravenclaw. Seeing what he said, the surrounding eaglets dispersed in an understanding manner.
"Sean, are you okay?" Hermione and Daisy asked worriedly.
The two of them also looked at Stephanie who was silent behind him in confusion from time to time.
"Nothing's wrong, I'm just a little tired tonight, and I need to digest some news. I'll be fine if I get some sleep." Sean smiled.
He turned to Stephanie again and said: "You have worked hard tonight, you should go to bed early."
Stephanie nodded: "Good night."
Then he quickly left the scene.
"Let's talk tomorrow."
After exchanging a few words with Hermione and Daisy, Sean lay back on the bed and fell asleep.
This was probably the most tiring birthday he had ever had.
…
At the same time, in a huge temple-like building, there was a wizard in sacrificial clothing bowing to the old man in front of him.
"This was just an accident. I admit that there were people with malicious intentions mixed into the escort team. I apologize for the accident that Hogwarts suffered."
The old man in front of him had indifferent eyes, with a calm but trembling aura.
"It seems that the escort team is also a victim?" he asked.
The priest wizard secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "It's great that you think so. Of course, this is our dereliction of duty. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, Mr. Dumbledore."
Dumbledore nodded slightly: "I have always believed that we need to maintain trust in our collaborators - replies are not needed. I hope you will be more careful in the future."
"Thank you for your tolerance and understanding, Mr. Dumbledore."
"I'll take the interest -" Dumbledore finished saying this, took out a wand and waved it violently, then disappeared in place with a loud bang.
"Sir?" The sacrificial wizard raised his head in shock, not knowing why the other party suddenly said this again.
However, he soon understood what the "interest" the other party meant.
Behind him, the temple hidden in the shadows made a rumbling sound!
Smoke and dust filled the air, and the mottled stone walls collapsed one after another, and the entire temple shook violently and sank.
It's collapsing!
The pupils of the sacrificial wizard suddenly shrank, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and he instinctively took out his wand to stop all this.
A voice came from the top of the temple, which was the only building that had not sunk. It was floating naked in the air, and the lower part had become ruins.
"Let him go, Dumbledore's anger needs to be endured, and you can't stop his spell - he has gone further than we imagined."
The sacrificial wizard trembled and retreated to a safe place. With dull eyes, he watched the temple that had been guarded by his ancestors for thousands of years collapse.
From the top of the bare, floating temple, several dull and old voices started talking.
"It's too urgent... Only we know that Dumbledore is not at Hogwarts. He knows that it was us who did it..."
"It's just a try... However, Pablo Calcas' young and precious life was taken away by the contract. He must have suffered inhuman torture..."
"Poor child -" a voice said with a tone of indifference, "but don't worry about him revealing our secrets, the ancient contract will not allow it."
"I'm not worried about this, I'm still worried about Dumbledore..."
"It's time for you to change your mentality. Old friend - Dumbledore, of course, cannot be trusted. He has too many things planned. But as long as we can cooperate with him safely, we can each get what we need, which is good.
"
"Yes, that's right, we just need to make sure that he will not join forces with Grindelwald..."
"But even though I don't have a body, my consciousness is still warning me. If these two people are disconnected, our plan will suffer heavy losses..."
"Impossible." A voice said decisively, "With that thing around, the relationship between Dumbledore and Grindelwald has been completely torn apart, and it is no longer possible between them."
Another voice also agreed: "Yes, I have checked it, and that thing is definitely not faked by Dumbledore - if he can even fake this, then his power is already universal, and he has no need to compete with him.
If we cooperate, the world can be changed at will according to his wishes."
These voices finally convinced the hesitant voice, who finally agreed with them: "You are right..."
There was silence in the floating building for a while, and finally someone said: "The plan remains as usual——"
"As usual, let's go ahead and mobilize all the power of the Ministry of Magic. I want to ensure that the new president of the Federation is one of ours."
"Where's Qilin?"
"We can get the best. If not, we will change the target and stop the group of people who claim to be saints. Let Scamander take away the Kirin. He is Dumbledore's man - as long as it does not fall into the hands of Grindelwald.
can."

…
The last day of October comes to an end with an undercurrent, and November has arrived.
Students rushed into the auditorium, wanting to know what happened last night.
They immediately saw something was wrong.
In the auditorium, a group of wizards were already sitting there, and many students had already recognized each other's identities.
They were the residents of Hogsmeade, and many of them had conspicuous wounds on their bodies.
The students walked into the auditorium with surprise and suspicion, and soon someone discovered something was wrong.
In the gem hourglass representing the scores of the four major colleges, the one belonging to Ravenclaw suddenly increased a lot of gems. People who paid attention to the scores stepped forward and counted them roughly, and said in surprise: "Someone accelerated it by a hundred."
fifty points?"
There were only two people not in Ravenclaw last night, Sean and Stephanie.
The students' doubts were quickly cleared up by Professor McGonagall.
"Last night, Hogwarts was invaded by dark wizards. Among them, Hogsmeade suffered the most serious accident. Our friends will be temporarily recuperating in the castle. We hope that everyone will not disturb them too much."
"This attack comes from an ancient evil force. Many of the attackers are fugitives who escaped from Azkaban. They are extremely vicious and trying to destroy the peace here."
"Fortunately, Hogsmeade was not destroyed, and I have to give credit to two people."
"Shaun Wallop and Stephanie Ollivander from Ravenclaw, they showed extraordinary courage and excellent magical abilities last night, helping the professors fight off the villains and save many people
life - especially Mr. Wallop, who showed the abilities and qualities of one of the best Hogwarts students and foiled the villain's evil plan."
Professor McGonagall's tone was serious, yet full of pride.
The eyes of all the students suddenly became intense. They had rarely heard such words of praise from the strict Professor McGonagall.
Fred even stood up and pointed at Sean exaggeratedly: "My good buddy, he faced the prisoners of Azkaban and defeated them?!"
Professor McGonagall did not blame Fred for jumping up and down. She nodded seriously: "Yes, he defeated many villains alone. He even performed better than me, the professor. Of course, Olivan
The same goes for Miss De, she is equally brave and excellent."
Among the residents of Hogsmeade, several people stood up and greeted Sean with their breasts. Mrs. Froome, Honeydukes' proprietress, bowed to Sean with gratitude: "Mr. Wallop, you saved me.
And my husband's life, my husband told me when he was in the hospital bed, you will be our permanent guest of Honeydukes."
Sean couldn't sit still at this moment. He stood up and returned the greeting, saying rather helplessly: "This is what a conscientious wizard should do."
The auditorium suddenly became noisy, students applauded and cheered for Sean, and the eyes of the lower grade boys and girls showed admiration and eagerness.
Stephanie was also surrounded by students. She didn't seem to adapt to this lively atmosphere, so she just adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses again and again.
Sean shook hands with the noisy students one after another, and saw Professor McGonagall smiling at him in the crowd.
He immediately understood what the other party meant, just like what he said last night.
"Hogwarts will stand behind you."
When the students' enthusiasm finally subsided, Professor McGonagall announced loudly: "Shaun Wallop won one hundred points for Ravenclaw House, and Stephanie Ollivander also won fifty points.
At the same time, the school has decided to award special contribution awards to these two people - Hogwarts will always remember your bravery and dedication."
There was thunderous applause in the auditorium.
In the Room of Requirement, Sean was breathing heavily. Sometimes, dealing with enthusiastic classmates was even more tiring than fighting the dark wizard last night.
Hermione helped him straighten his messy robes, shook her head and said, "Oh my God, Sean, you have to hide from them these days. Daisy and I couldn't even squeeze within five meters of you just now.
.”
And right next to her, 'Sean Sunflower' Daisy was looking like stars, and she said in a waxy voice: "Wow, Sean is really awesome——"
"Don't do this to me." Sean looked helpless, "Last night, except for the basilisk, Dave and the others were let out by me."
Hearing this, Hermione frowned: "Is the situation so serious?"
"Well, there were at least forty people who attacked Hogsmeade last night. Most of them were escaped convicts. However, their organizational skills were not very strong. Apart from the initial trouble, the rest were all remnants.
There’s not much danger in solving it.”
"Oh my God -" After hearing Sean say this, the two girls realized that they had even underestimated the seriousness of last night's disaster.
"However, the result is okay, it's not a big problem." Sean said with a smile.
Last night, one of the other party's plans was foiled, and some useful information was obtained.
And what Sean said to the guard captain Hughes at the end was actually a test.
He was indeed angry, but much of the anger in his words was intentional.
Sean wanted to use this to test the opponent's situation, and Hughes's attitude already showed that the escort was established by the [Returner], but the opponent did not cover the sky with one hand, at least on the surface, he had to rely on the official
This skin of the institution.
However, the actual content of the other party's plan is still unknown. Sean directly broke his face just to lure the other party to take action and disrupt the rhythm of the other party's layout.
However, the guy named Hughes was quite tolerant and did not take the bait directly, nor did he reveal some of the information Sean wanted.
But Sean still has a backup plan.
Entering the ring, the little airwing that had grown three or four times happily flew over. It pointed its long tail at the two unconscious hidden monsters and proudly puffed up the skin on its neck.
I tied them up!
Sean smiled and touched the head of the little airwing that was asking for credit, and walked to the side of the two hidden monsters.
Yes, this is part of his plan.
Wizards are bound by contract spells, magical animals are not.
Moreover, after dealing with those families that have been passed down for a long time, Sean has witnessed the pedantic and stupid aspects of the other party - they look down on magical beasts and only use them as tools.
They will not guard against magical animals like they guard against wizards, nor will they make friends with magical animals in a gentle way.
Therefore, the magical animals controlled by them were probably educated using unknown magic spells and sticks.
Now, the two hidden monsters controlled by the Calkas family can obviously provide a lot of information, and Sean can speak bestiality.
"Dave, Tails." Sean greeted.
These two hidden monsters were obviously controlled by unknown methods. Sean's magical animal affinity level of 11 points was useless, so he needed to use some other methods.
This kind of tough control is not a good memory for magical animals, and the diluted venom of the winged demon can eliminate bad memories.
"Hope it works..." After getting the venom from the helpless Dave, Sean drank it directly to the two hidden monsters.
Then, Sean gave the two men a therapeutic potion.
One of the hidden monsters woke up. Its eyes were no longer full of rage and murderous intent, but looked confused and dull.
Sean felt happy and met the sight of the hidden monster.
"Come, look at me, little one." His gentle voice contained an unspeakable allure.
