Chapter 279 Sean’s Mission
【Harry Potter: The Strongest Senior】 【】
Sean's expression showed the truth. He did not lie. He only picked four fruits. At that time, he could have picked a few more, but he always kept a tightrope in everything and only took the amount he needed.
"What happened to Snakehead Fruit?" Sean asked.
"The Uganda snakehead fruit auction originally scheduled for August 15 was suddenly canceled the day before." Snape told the reason.
This matter was mentioned in the international introduction section of the August 14 issue of the Daily Prophet, but Sean did not pay attention.
Dumbledore said, "According to internal information, the picking team from the Ugandan Ministry of Magic returned empty-handed from Alcatraz Island, so I want to ask you if you have picked all the fruits."
Sean immediately understood that after he eliminated the Frogosaurus, the silver-backed and golden-crested gorillas no longer had a controller, and they were no longer restrained, so the picking team would definitely be affected when picking snakehead fruits.
The actual situation on Alcatraz Island is similar to what Sean guessed. Originally, the Ministry of Magic and the Frog Dragon reached an agreement, and decades of tribute were paid in exchange for the snakehead fruit.
But Silver-backed Golden Delicious doesn't like to eat people, so this deal is invalid for them, and the snake head fruits will not be handed over to humans again. Silver-backed Golden Delicious can let the picking team go back alive, which is considered a great kindness.
From now on, the Ugandan Ministry of Magic will no longer be able to obtain snakehead fruit without resorting to force.
Sean scratched his head and said, "I definitely only picked four. Could it be that we angered the Silver-backed Golden Crown and that's why the picking team couldn't pick the fruit?"
"This possibility also exists." Dumbledore nodded, "If we don't care about the snake head, I asked you to come here because I have a mission for you."
"Task?"
"Astoria, Voldemort's behavior is very abnormal. I need you to keep an eye on Astoria and report any strange behavior to me as soon as possible." Dumbledore said.
Sean thought to himself that Astoria should pay more attention, just like when Draco was tricked by Voldemort. If Sean hadn't discovered it early, Draco might have hidden the Horcrux in the Room of Requirement. Take it back to Voldemort.
Snape added, "From the beginning of this semester, you will be the prefect. You will patrol more often to observe Astoria during recess."
Sean originally didn't want to be a prefect because those trivial things would be troublesome, but now that the professor has said so, he has to accept the task.
"Well, professor, my early exams will remain the same this semester?" Sean asked.
Dumbledore said cheerfully, "That's no problem. Hogwarts will not hinder the development of outstanding students."
Ten minutes later, Sean returned to the dormitory. Chrissy and Cassius had just assigned dormitories to the freshmen.
"Sean, it feels so good to be a prefect. The freshmen are as good as little sheep." Cassius pulled Sean to the sofa in the common room.
The common rooms of each college were particularly lively tonight, with students sitting or standing in groups of twos and threes, sharing snacks brought from home.
"Why did Dumbledore ask you to go?" Chris asked curiously.
Sean looked around, then hooked his hands at the two of them, gesturing to come closer.
"You also know that Astoria, a second-year student, was kidnapped by Death Eaters during the summer vacation."

The two nodded.
"The professor asked me to pay more attention to her and report to him if there is any abnormal behavior." Sean whispered.
"Actually, my grandfather also asked me to pay attention to Astoria." Chris said. "And because of my uncle, I am worried that I will be discriminated against in school."
Sean looked at Chris, "No wonder Old Barty asked me to take more care of Chris at the train station."
"You two, please help me keep an eye on Astoria, especially Chris. You are both girls, but don't make it too obvious, as it will cause psychological pressure on her." Sean said.
"By the way, my grandfather also said that the Ministry of Magic plans to station people at Hogwarts."
Cassius opened his mouth and said, "No way, is the situation so serious? With Dumbledore here at Hogwarts, not even Death Eaters dare to come."
Cassius's knowledge of Dumbledore was the most powerful and reliable, and having him there was inexplicably reassuring.
"It's a good thing to have people from the Ministry of Magic stationed here. At least the safety factor has been improved." Sean said.
Sean thought to himself, "It's better than letting dementors wander around the school, which is disgusting to watch."
"This year is going to be difficult again. Didn't you see how happy the Gryffindor guys were at the dinner party, just because Professor Black became the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year?" Cassius complained.
Sirius' favoritism was blatant. Snape was only targeting Harry and treated Gryffindor fairly, while Sirius clearly favored Gryffindor.
As a result, the two professors started to argue with each other. If you punished Gryffindor, I would punish Slytherin.
"Yes, he was re-elected for two years." Sean also lamented that Voldemort's so-called "curse" had expired.
At this time, in the girls' dormitory upstairs, Astoria's roommates were sitting around her window, caring about Astoria with every word.
"If you can't sleep at night or have nightmares, just wake us up and we'll stay with you."
"Thank you," Astoria said.
In a dilapidated manor, little Barty asked Voldemort respectfully.
"Master, how long does it take for the seeds to germinate?"
Voldemort smiled strangely, "Don't worry, the gift will be delivered before Christmas."
In this year's Care of Magical Creatures class, Professor Kettleburn retired, and Hagrid took over the position as he wished.
Hagrid's first class was to teach the third-year students about the Hippogriff. This class was taught by Gryffindor and Slytherin together.
"The hippogriff is very proud. You have to be polite and humble in front of it, otherwise you will be in danger," Hagrid said.
However, the class ended early ten minutes into the class. Draco was injured during the class and was sent to the infirmary by Hagrid.
During lunch, Sean saw Draco with a bandage on his arm in the auditorium, and then he remembered that he must have been scratched by Buckbeak.
"Forgot to remind him not to sneer in front of Buckbeak."
Fortunately, Draco didn't clamor for his father to kill Buckbeak like in the original plot.
Lunch time was not over yet, two men and one woman came into the auditorium, and the woman among them was Tonks, whom Sean knew.

"Tonks, we meet again. Are you here to guard Hogwarts?" Sean stood up and greeted.
Tonks stopped and replied, "You are well informed. Yes, the Ministry of Magic sent us to garrison Hogwarts."
Other students also knew about the Aurors stationed in the school, and Sean didn't think much about it at first, but since Dumbledore told him to keep an eye on Astoria, was the Auror sent by Fudge to monitor Astoria? .
This is not because Sean is overly worried, Fudge is a conservative, but first of all he is a politician, and politicians are notorious for being very thoughtful.
Among the two male Aurors, the black one is Kingsley Schalke, a supporter of Dumbledore, and the other is a middle-aged Mediterranean man with thin hair, Gadwin Robards.
Their mission is to patrol Hogwarts, and sometimes Sean, the prefect, will meet them when he is patrolling between classes.
The first week of the new semester passed quickly, and Saturday night was the meeting time of the Ouroboros Wizarding Society. Although Sean was often absent before, he still came to the first week's meeting.
