Ms. Helena nodded, with a slightly puzzled expression: "Isn't that the name? An old wizard with a white beard and a prosthetic limb."

Sean frowned for a moment. After the Ash Snake incident that day, he chatted with other students. Later, the deans of the four colleges finally returned to the auditorium. The other teachers were all around the castle.

Busy dealing with the remaining snake eggs and the fires they caused.

Professor Kettleburn was obviously over there in the infirmary. He was cast under the Imperius Curse and was finally rescued by Professor Dumbledore. He is now lying in St. Mungo's Hospital of Witchcraft and Wizardry for treatment.

The way to the infirmary on the fourth floor must pass through the auditorium, and Hogwarts prohibits disembodiment. Professor Kettleburn could not escape everyone's sight in that short period of time.

What's more, Professor Kettleburn's appearance clearly meant that he had been waiting in the infirmary. The person who knocked out Madam Pomfrey was probably Kettleburn, who was under the Imperius Curse.

So, who is this 'Kettleburn' on the fourth floor...

Quirrell? No...

Sean suddenly had a bad premonition.

He said goodbye to Ms. Helena, who was not interested in continuing to talk, and entered the Room of Requirement alone with a frown on her face.

Looking at Dave who was devouring his food, Sean's thoughts gradually developed.

The person lying in the hospital must be the real Kettleburn. Professor Dumbledore could not fail to discover this, so the Kettleburn who appeared in the corridor on the fourth floor must be someone pretending to be him.

What's the purpose? It appears on the fourth floor. It's most likely for what's behind the trap door.

What about the gang? Kettleburn was controlled by the mysterious man using the Imperius Curse, and the impostor took advantage of the commotion to come to the fourth floor and try to steal the treasure?

It makes sense, but Sean just doesn't feel right.

Obviously, Professor Dumbledore was not at Hogwarts at the time. After learning the news, Kettleburn and the mysterious man attracted countless ash snakes to involve the professors.

However, if they came for the Philosopher's Stone, wouldn't it be enough to go directly to the fourth floor after causing a commotion? Why do they have to guard it in the infirmary?

Enough Ash Snakes have been affected by the potion, and other professors have not discovered the source of the disaster.

Sean casually cast a cleaning spell on Dave to remove all the bloodshot and brain foam stained from the corners of his mouth.

Sean's eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly, a thought popped out.

Who was Kettleburn that I saw that night in the Forbidden Forest?

The abnormal Quirrell threatened him. If it was because Quirrell discovered Kettleburn's abnormality, that would make sense.

However, would Kettleburn, who was under the Imperius Curse, behave in such a groveling manner? And why didn't Quirrell, who knew there was something wrong, tell Dumbledore?

As his thoughts unfolded, Sean recalled more details.

That night in the Forbidden Forest, the Kettleburn they met came back from outside the castle, but his office should be inside the castle, and Hagrid had said that Professor Kettleburn was bitten by an animal he raised.

And they happened to encounter a riot by the magical animals in the Forbidden Forest...

Caused by magic potion...

Sean only felt that the incident was shrouded in a thick layer of fog, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

He stood up and moved a little irritably. The current appearance of the Room of Requirement was changed according to Sean's ideas. The ground was covered with enchanted turf, and various trees with colored lights formed a small forest.

A small magic moon hung in the sky.

There are a lot of clutter piled up in the corner, and there are all kinds of useful and useless things hidden in the Room of Requirement. Every time Sean comes, the things here are different.

He took a few glances and was suddenly attracted by something pressed in the corner.

Sean walked over and removed the debris on it.

It was a pile of wood fragments. It seemed that someone had cast a splitting spell several times and added a fire spell. The original shape of the dark fragments was no longer visible.

Sean fiddled with the pile of fragments with his wand. The only larger fragment had a vague mark on it, as if it had been slipped by some sharp object.

He quickly lost interest. Over the thousands of years since Hogwarts was founded, many things have been hidden or lost in the Room of Requirement by wizards who intentionally or unintentionally broke into it. Who knows which era this thing is a relic from.

Just like last time, Sean even saw a hard salted fish covered with white hair...

The Room of Requirement really has everything.

Sean shook his head, and at this moment, Dave's thoughts came to him.

"Full, but not completely full."

Sean couldn't help but smile. He walked over and touched the crooked-winged demon's skull, then took out his wand and cleaned the bloody corners of its mouth.

When Dave shrank back into a cocoon and returned to his hand, Sean took it, shook it, and then swung it like a yo-yo.

This is Dave's favorite way to digest food after a meal.

After playing yo-yo for a while, Sean stretched and decided to give up reasoning about the two Kettleburns.

"I don't want to think about this anymore. Professor Dumbledore knows it anyway, so there's no need for me to worry about it."

Tomorrow is the Christmas holiday, and Sean is going to take a good rest first.

After leaving the Room of Requirement and going down to the seventh floor of the castle, Sean was stopped by someone.

"Oh, Mr. Wallop."

"Hello, professor." Sean greeted politely.

The visitor was Professor Slughorn. He shook his fat belly and turned his bulging eyes around Sean's body.

"Mr. Wallop, can I ask you a favor?"

"Excuse me, what's going on?"

Slughorn's thick walrus-like beard trembled, and his eyes bulged even more: "Oh, to tell you the truth, a Sniff got into my study, and it messed up my collection.

What a mess!”

Sean blinked and sniffed. Professor Scamander happened to have one...

As he said that, Slughorn sighed deeply: "You also know that certain medicinal materials, such as bicorn horn powder, will affect their medicinal properties if used with magic spells, so I can only do it myself.

But my shoulder was accidentally sprained when I was picking up those ash snakes..."

No wonder, in the recent Potions class, Professor Slughorn would rub his shoulders whenever he had nothing to do. This probably put him in a bad mood, and even made his teaching attitude a bit harsh.

"Of course, Professor, I can just help." Sean nodded.

Although Slughorn is greedy for enjoyment and vain, he is still the best in potions.

Sean, who has a potion talent of 2, is naturally willing to establish a good relationship with the other party. He has no interest in the Slug Club, but hopes that he can learn more about potions.

If it were Snape, he wouldn't dare to get into trouble.
