I went to Hogwarts after being spotted by Grindelwald

Dumbledore stretched out his legs on the steps like a child, his smile gentle and calm.

"Sean, don't bear too much pressure, tomorrow is Christmas."

Sean followed his example and straightened his legs. The warmth coming from the stairs made him sigh unconsciously.

"Um...Professor, I have a question." He put his hands on the warm marble steps, "How do you think Hogwarts compares with Nurmengard?"

Dumbledore asked curiously: "Why do you ask that? Is it because you are interested in Nurmengard?"

Sean nodded unabashedly: "Yes, Professor, although several experiences are not pleasant, they are enough to make me curious."

"Understandable." Dumbledore agreed, and then he looked up and looked ahead. He didn't know whether he was looking at the castle of Hogwarts or the tower of Nurmengard.

"As a stubborn old man, although I don't want to admit it, I still have to say that Nurmengard has surpassed Hogwarts in some aspects. This is also my original intention of agreeing to the academic exchange."

He took a deep breath and looked hard: "Hogwarts and I have been lying down for too long, so long that we have forgotten the school motto."

"Don't disturb the sleeping dragon." Sean said softly.

"Yes," Dumbledore nodded, "It's just that I still need some time and more attempts."

Sean looked at Dumbledore's expression and felt a complicated emotion in his heart for no reason.

He and Grindelwald are both old...

"Professor, I hope you can achieve your ideals." Sean said sincerely.

"Thank you, kid." Dumbledore smiled and winked mischievously, "But don't underestimate Hogwarts too much. Even Gellert would admit that someone at Hogwarts

Nurmengard has not yet come into contact with these qualities.”

"I think so," Sean nodded, "This is one of the reasons why I chose Hogwarts."

"Although it is suspected of boasting, I still have to say that it was a wise choice, Sean." Dumbledore laughed.

Sean also smiled. He had to admit that Dumbledore was really a very charming person.

Of course, so is Grindelwald. Sean added quietly in his mind.

After chatting casually with Dumbledore for a while, Sean stood up and said, "I have to go back, Professor, and I have to take the train tomorrow."

"Oh, that's right, that's right, being reunited with your family is something worth looking forward to." Dumbledore smiled as he watched Sean leave.

When Sean came down to the corner of the stairs, the gentle voice of the old man behind him sounded: "Sean, choose Hogwarts, you won't be disappointed."

"I understand, Professor." Sean could no longer see Dumbledore, and he shouted towards the top of the stairs.

"Haha, I almost forgot, I wish you a happy Christmas in advance, kid."

"Merry Christmas to you too, Professor."

When Sean's figure was completely gone, Dumbledore showed a smile.

"I hope you won't let Hogwarts down in the future, Sean."

Then, he sat on the steps and looked quietly in a certain direction, without getting up for a long time.

…

Sean, who left, naturally did not hear Dumbledore's last words. Although the night was full of ups and downs and he experienced a lot of ups and downs, overall, he was in a good mood.

Moreover, with the double guarantee of Grindelwald and Dumbledore, Sean no longer has to worry about the safety of his family.

He walked into Ravenclaw's tower, and as soon as he stepped onto the stairs, he met the eyes of a girl.

Stephanie Ollivander.

Sean has been here for a few months, and his height has increased a bit, but the other person has not changed at all, he is still the same petite look.

He and the girl's eyes met, looking directly at each other.

This was the first time Sean didn't avoid her eyes, and it was also the first time he lost his smile when facing his classmates.

"Stephanie, do you know that monocle?" he asked softly.

Stephanie's calm face finally had waves, and she lowered her eyes unconsciously.

The girl hesitated slightly, but still replied with her cold voice: "Yes."

"I understand." Sean paused, and then showed his signature elegant smile again, "Did it save my life? Anyway, thank you for the gift. Merry Christmas, Miss Ollivander."

He didn't look at the girl again and walked straight up the stairs.

Stephanie's expression didn't change at all, but the fingers holding her old book tightened slightly.

Sean returned to the lounge and immediately saw Hermione reading a book by the campfire.

"Hermione, aren't you still asleep?"

"I wanted to read this spell book before going home. I wrote a note to Professor Flitwick, and Mrs. Pince reluctantly asked me to take it out of the library. If I take it home, Pince

Madam will definitely kill me." Hermione said quickly without even raising her head, staring at the book in front of her.

You really worked hard enough... Sean smiled and shook his head, then turned around and prepared to walk towards the dormitory.

Halfway through, he stopped and after struggling with the expression on his face, he sat back down next to Hermione.

"You don't have to wait for me, go to sleep." Hermione glanced at him, and then returned her attention to the book.

Sean shrugged and leaned back in his chair softly.

"I'm also going to study hard for a while." He naturally put Hermione's charm notebook in front of him.

Hermione smiled slightly and handed over another notebook: "It's better to eat together."

"My considerate Miss Granger." Sean took the notebook and praised it with a smile.

The girl's face turned slightly red, and after giving Sean an angry look, she resumed her studies.

"I love learning." Sean shrugged and lowered his head.

The next day, when the two were on their way to the station, Hermione kept complaining to him: "Sean! I just haven't finished reading the last few pages!"

Sean smiled. Last night, he studied for a while, and then couldn't help but chat with Hermione.

The girl who was addicted to studying and couldn't extricate herself naturally wanted to ignore him, but Sean got so playful that he just pulled Hermione and started playing around.

Hermione, who hadn't finished reading the spells book until midnight, was now filled with resentment.

Sean originally wanted to say, "You can't control it," but he finally chose to give up.

It's best not to try to reason with a girl, even if the other person is a top student.

Amidst Hermione's thoughts, the two came to the station and found a box to sit down.

Before the train started, two boys opened the train door. They were panting and seemed to have just ran over.

"Hey Sean!" Harry and Neville greeted him.

"Oh, Harry, Neville, good morning."

"Do you mind if we sit here?"

Sean cast a questioning look at Hermione.

The girl muttered something regretfully in her heart, but still nodded.
