Chapter 282 The End of Grade 2
The broken bones were licked by the magical flames, and the flowers on them quickly withered and turned yellow, and both of them turned into ashes together.
Sean waved the wand gently, and the flames became more intense. Just like that, no last ashes were left, only black smoke was blown away by the night wind.
After spreading the ashes of Voldemort's father, Sean placed the "old" bone specimens into the grave.
“reparo”
Slates, soil, and moss all floated up and gathered together, and Old Tom Riddle's grave became the same again.
Sean snapped his fingers and left the scene quickly.
I don’t know what would happen if Voldemort really used the resurrection spell and put the bones of the snow monster back in the crucible?
Sean, who turned into black mist and flew quickly through the air, thought gloatingly.
…
After solving the immediate troubles, Sean returned to Nurmengard again. At this time in previous years, because the final exam was approaching, the castle had already entered an atmosphere of intense preparation for the exam.
However, the impact of Grindelwald's refusal to be arrested and absconded was too great, and this name was indispensable in the headlines of major newspapers and weekly magazines. At the request of the International Federation of Wizards and the United Wizards Guard, the Austrian Ministry of Magic sent a group of Aurors to help guard Grindelwald - it is said that they were worried that Grindelwald would come back for revenge.
However, Grindelwald's reputation exceeded many people's imagination. Despite such massive brainwashing, about half of the students in Nurmengard still maintained their trust in Grindelwald.
Students who believed in official institutions were called traitors, fools, and deformed garden gnomes. In turn, they were called fanatics, collaborators, and ill-intentioned attic ghouls.
Nurmengard split in half in a strange way.
Nowadays, Hogwarts students rarely encounter provocations from Nurmengard students when walking in the castle. It is more common for two groups of people wearing uniforms and trench coats to confront and curse each other.
With exams approaching, the Nurmengard infirmary is much busier than usual - students with different opinions often engage in duels after quarrels.
"Only you idiots can't understand who Professor Grindelwald is!"
"Professor? He is a criminal now! Hundreds of his wanted posters are posted every day. I think you are stubborn!"
"Who is the stubborn one? The professor has obviously been treated unfairly. Haven't you learned to use your brain to think in all these years in Nurmengard? That's right, now I see that you are not worthy of staying in Nurmengard at all. "
"The evidence is irrefutable! Nurmengard is not Grindelwald's Nurmengard. You are now accomplices, naive, ignorant, and stupid accomplices."
"Iron proof? Then if I find someone to cast the Imperius Curse and say you are a fool, then should you be recognized as a fool by the world? No, I was wrong. Anyone with a brain can see that, you are fools!"
"Come on, let's see who is the idiot!"
In the corridor with a strong smell of gunpowder, two groups of people were confronting each other. The wands were already in their hands, and the duel was about to happen in the next second.
However, their movements suddenly paused because someone came over from the opposite side.
Sean Wallop.
No matter which group they belong to, their views on Sean are extremely complicated, but overall, he has gained some popularity among the groups that support Grindelwald.
People who did not support Grindelwald were a little wary. The same plot unfolded the day before yesterday. Two groups of people who were about to duel met Sean. Some of the opponents provoked and insulted him, and the person was sent to the hospital spitting dirt. Infirmary.
"Hey, Wallop," someone from the supporters greeted.
Sean, who was talking to Hermione, turned his head and smiled in greeting, without saying much.
This group of supporters supports Grindelwald, they worship the old man and try their best to imitate him.
Arrogant, stubborn, and only believe in yourself.
Sean also tried to contact and communicate with them, and finally came to the conclusion that he was still Sean, not Grindelwald, and the group was not willing to listen to him.
Goodwill comes from his relationship with Grindelwald, not him himself.
So Sean also gave up intervening in the dispute between the two groups and just said hello when they met.
Just fight how you want.
Sean, who was chatting and laughing with Hermione, turned a blind eye to the two groups and simply ignored them.
A group of people looked at each other and started yelling and cursing again.
"See you in the duel classroom after school! Don't run away!"
"Whoever runs is the troll!"
Hearing the shouts from behind, Hermione, who was holding a pile of thick books, curled her lips: "Boring."
"Isn't it normal for young people to be passionate?" Sean smiled and shrugged.
"If I were an opponent, I should go to newspapers and officials to learn more about Mr. Grindelwald's crimes. This way I would be in an invincible position. At the same time, I should also investigate the situation in Paris that night and provide Grindelwald with information. Lift the coffin and convict. If I were a supporter, I should find evidence of collusion between the official and the witnesses. If I can't find it, I should obscure the criminal experience, focus on promoting Mr. Grindelwald's contributions over the years, and at the same time win over alumni who have graduated. To stir up public opinion among the people and force the officials to release more inside information, many things cannot withstand the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes."
After saying that, Hermione raised her eyebrows: "It's meaningless to argue and duel in the castle like this - it may even affect the final exam."
Sean looked at her in surprise and said, "Okay, your thinking is very clear, Miss Granger."
"This is my default position, but in fact I am only on your side, Mr. Wallop." Hermione said lightly.
"Thank you for your trust." Sean smiled and stroked his chest.
Hermione looked at him with disgust: "You can't pretend anymore. Last time you acted like a gentleman and stuffed the unlucky guy's head into the ground."
Sean spread his hands: "You can think of this as a sense of ritual."
"Damn sense of ritual..."
The two of them chatted and laughed and returned to the lounge. Recently, except for continuing to collect information, Sean had stopped doing other things.
The private tutor's professor was wanted, and the other old man who was originally a beacon was avoiding him. After the last drama, in order to avoid accidents, Sean's regular Death Eater meetings were also suspended.
Sean was simply immersed in his review. The world war hadn't broken out yet, and he still had to take the final exam.
In this way, the weather in Austria is slowly warming up, Aurors and guards are guarding and patrolling the castle, students in Nurmengard are quarreling and dueling, and students in Hogwarts are eating melons and watching the show.
At the school gate, Grindelwald on the wanted poster had a perverse smile, and his windbreaker and the corner of the wanted poster were swaying in the wind.
In such weather, Sean sat in the exam classroom in Nurmengard.
His study progress was already ahead of schedule, and with Hermione's help, Sean's exams went smoothly - even during the Transfiguration exam, Professor McGonagall said "You can go out" when he saw him raise his wand.
Half a month ago, he got the fourth grade Transfiguration tutorial from Professor McGonagall.
Even the potion that had been tormenting Sean was not unexpected. Snape's notes were so easy to use that he memorized them completely and followed the steps. The potion he got made the potions professor in Nurmengard applaud in amazement. ——Although Sean feels that there is also some affection for Grindelwald here.
Nurmengaard's efficiency was much higher than Sean imagined. On the afternoon of the second day after the exam, the score sheets were sent to the students.
As expected, Hermione was still number one. She was originally one of the hardest-working and smartest students. During the review process with Sean, the two learned from each other, and Hermione's transformation skills and powerful magic attacks and learning lessons were strengthened.
Moreover, her history of magic courses are much better than Sean who just memorized them.
Sean, who came in second, was also very satisfied. The main reason was that this time the potion actually got high marks, and it did not involve Snape's charity like last school year.
In addition, Daisy's little mind is already smart. Under the dual teaching of Hermione and Sean, her strength has completely crushed the first grade students in the two schools. There is no surprise in being the first in age.
The big commotion among Nurmengard students during the review period still affected their results. Percy, who was in the sixth grade, beat the genius of Nurmengard and became the number one in his grade. The number one in the fourth grade was also from Hogwarts, a Someone that Sean had forgotten for a long time - Stephanie Ollivander.
Stephanie, who is usually invisible, silently dominates everyone, even though she has not grown taller at all.
After hearing the news, Sean just shrugged indifferently. There were too many things that happened during this period. Compared with the previous experiences of the two of them, it seemed a lot boring. It was not that much to hate them, and it was even more impossible to like them. , becoming a stranger like this is the best ending.
After the results come out, it will be the dinner at the end of the school year. After the dinner, the students of Hogwarts will also leave Nurmengard Castle where they have lived for half a year.
Sean was packing his things in the dormitory.
The last time the guards came to arrest someone, the room was blown up and he lost a lot of things, but luckily, most of them could be bought back with money. Sean decided to be generous and not ask for compensation from the guards. .
Although there was a ring, he couldn't stuff everything inside, and the existence of the ring couldn't be shown, so Sean still folded clothes in the box honestly.
After a long while, looking at the empty dormitory, Sean put his hands on his hips and said to himself: "It should be almost done..."
He looked around the entire dormitory, and finally looked at the bedside table.
"I almost forgot about this..." Sean walked over and picked up a big golden egg.
This was the prize he got when he helped Grindelwald last time. He had been researching it for a while but couldn't find anything interesting about it. In the end, he could only acquiesce that this thing was just a simple little toy.
I picked up the golden egg and tossed it in my hand, but there was still no change in it.
"It's good to keep it as a souvenir." Sean raised his eyebrows and stuffed it into the ring.
Let's play with the cat and leopard pudding as a yarn ball.
At night, Nurmengard's auditorium was decorated with lights and colorful banners, and the gold and red flags symbolizing this newly rising prestigious school were hung automatically on both sides of the auditorium.
However, the atmosphere in the auditorium was not high, there was no excitement about the upcoming holiday, and there was no relaxation after the exam.
The principal changed, the students split into two groups, and even the final exam was delayed - the first place in four of the seven grades was taken away by Hogwarts, which they had always looked down on.
Therefore, the atmosphere at this end-of-semester dinner was a bit low-pressure.
When everyone was seated, Vita Rozier, the current principal of Numengard, stood up from the vacant principal's seat. She didn't seem to have the self-awareness of a principal, and she still glanced at everyone as emotionlessly as usual. .
The new principal has also attracted a lot of attention recently. Since Grindelwald disappeared, she has become younger day by day. Now she has transformed back into the cold and charming lady she was in her twenties.
Of course, the spell to regain youthful appearance is not uncommon in the world, and Vita Rozier was not investigated again, but only sparked a discussion among students.
The cold and charming woman picked up the wine glass: "This year, the history of Nurmengard has moved forward again. This castle still stands in the wind and rain. And we have also welcomed guests from afar, Hogwarts, thank you. What you have taught us, I also hope that you can gain knowledge here and take it back and carry it forward.”
Under her leadership, there was a burst of not-so-warm applause in the auditorium.
Vita Rozier changed the subject.
"And you, as students of Nurmengard -" she paused, her eyes arrogant and cold: "I would like to say that I am proud of your performance this year, but I am not as kind as the previous principal, with all due respect. , you suck."
The cold voice hit the face of every Nurmengaardian. They were stunned for a moment, and then humiliation, shame, and anger all appeared on their faces.
Vita Rozier's tone did not change at all: "The tragic defeat in the duel classroom, the crushing of Nurmengard Day, I thought you could learn something. Then, the school experienced huge changes, except for stupidity The duel, even the report card turned in was a mess."
"I have nothing to say. This year's summer vacation will be delayed by one month."
"Okay, let's start enjoying the dinner."
After saying that, she raised the goblet and signaled to everyone before sitting down. Professor McGonagall next to her opened her mouth slightly.
There was silence in the auditorium. The faces of Nurmengard students turned blue and white, and most of them suddenly lost their appetite.
There were whispers on the long table in Hogwarts. Sean turned his head and saw several members of his Golden Dawn. He made cheering gestures to them and mourned for them in his heart.
The food at the dinner was exquisite and delicious. Sean's silence lasted for three seconds, and then he started to feast.
When he was almost done eating, Sean quietly called out the system panel. He hadn't looked at the panel carefully for a long time.
As long as the points pool was not guaranteed, he also tried to draw a few rounds, but nothing good came out at all.
There were no changes in the inventory and talent columns, and Sean looked at the spell proficiency below.
Proficiency, which can intuitively reflect one's progress, is of course a good thing, but Sean's spell proficiency has also improved. The spell level has not changed much, and he has a rough estimate of the daily increase in proficiency. , so I usually only watch it once in a while.
The first few spells were almost the same as what he had expected, but gradually, Sean's expression became weird.
Why has the proficiency of several spells such as the Explosion Curse, the Bright Light Curse, and the Magical Light Changing Curse increased so much?
