Chapter 468 "It's Starting Soon"

Sean spent three full days studying them. This kind of creature has been extremely aggressive since childhood, and he didn't know why his talent didn't work against it.

Coincidentally, they didn't have eyes as well. Sean wanted to try to "communicate" with their sensory organs. However, after a series of tries, he couldn't find a way to establish a connection with them.

Maybe only the creators like Hagrid can really communicate with these guys. Although Sean felt that it wasn't that the manticore and Hagrid got along well, Hagrid had thick skin and didn't care about being attacked by the creature.

He temporarily gave up on them, and Sean focused on other things.

Since the beginning of the fifth grade, things have been going smoothly, and the atmosphere in the school is much better than before. Sean is a teaching assistant for the Transfiguration class and gave the new students a memorable Transfiguration class.

The second and third graders, who had no class at that time, ran outside the classroom to watch him secretly. After seeing the new students' excitement, which turned from curiosity to fear and then to shock, they completely fell under the charm of Transfiguration. The second—and third-grade students all showed the same expression back then.

Sean noticed that someone was watching him from outside, but he didn't care. He would just focus on teaching the class.

Overall, it was still a satisfactory introductory class, and Sean was confident that after his class, the new students would be more enthusiastic.

Of course, Capone's performance satisfied him. This child, who was born with a huge source of magic power, showed amazing talent, which made Sean's eyes shine. Henry naturally didn't dare to be rampant in Sean's class, and Sean didn't target him either.

He believed Capone was capable of handling his own problems. Apart from taking lessons and teaching others, Sean didn't forget another important thing.

Regarding the mystery, the Fly is a person of interest, and according to the information that Stephanie brought during the summer vacation, the Nott family must be involved with the Fly.

The "Mr. Uninvited Guest" is highly likely to be the Fly in the legend, and he is related to the Nott family in ancient Greece. Over time, this may even lead to the demise of the Nott family.

Faced with this, Sean couldn't give up, and the best way to continue was obviously through a Slytherin student, Theodore Nott, who was in the same grade. The only problem is that Theodore Nott is a lone wolf with a withdrawn personality and does not participate in group activities.

One day, Sean tried to say hello to him, but he ignored him.

Sean returned to meet his Draco from Slytherin. He was one of the few people who could talk to Theodore directly. In the silent classroom, if someone could see this scene, their jaws would probably drop in shock. Sean and Draco, who were usually enemies, were discussing something in a low voice at this time.

"Draco, can you tell me what's going on lately?"

As the current president of the "Glory Society", a rising force in Slytherin house, Draco can be considered to be proud of himself recently. He accepted what Sean said: that pure blood glory was no longer about bullying, insulting, and provoking those non-pure blood wizards.

Draco fully recognized Sean's point of view. With his family background and Sean's guidance from time to time, he set off a wave of "pure blood glory" in Slytherin.

The "Make Pureblood Great Again" slogan has become familiar to many Slytherin students.

With Draco's efforts, many concepts of the purebloods' view have begun to change. Although they have been influenced by their parents for more than ten years, they have been getting along with people who have different concepts from Draco. Their original view has even undergone drastic changes.

After hearing Sean's question, Draco puffed out his chest, "There are already more and more members coming. Although there are many stubborn and ignorant guys, they can't do anything. We are the only one who has become a new force."

"As expected from you, winning their hearts." Sean patted Draco.

He immediately raised his head, "It's just a small thing, and now I've focused on the lower-grade students. They will be affected, and it won't take long. Maybe in the next school year, most of the Slytherin students will agree with me. I'll teach them about the real glory of the purebloods."

"I'm looking forward to your good news. If you need my help, you can come to me at any time." Sean patted his shoulder.

He still has a very complicated view of Sean. Draco still maintains a slight sense of competition towards Sean, but he will not act stupidly like before. One thing he knows very well but doesn't want to admit is that he really regards Sean as a good partner.

Partner was his best word to describe Sean, and the word friend was too much for him.

"Okay. Now you call me out all of a sudden. What's the matter?" Draco asked slowly.

"Theodore Nott, do you know him?"

"Theodore?" Draco frowned. Of course, I know him. That guy is something. When I first created the Society, I wanted to recruit him, but he always liked doing it alone. I invited him a few times without success, and I just let him go. Why? Did he offend you? Do you want me to help you teach him a lesson?"

Sean smiled, "No, I want to make friends with him. But there is no way for me to talk to him, and he didn't even greet me back."

Speaking of this, Draco said, "Of course, Theodore is arrogant. The one who can make him take the initiative to say hello is..."

Sean continued, "You?"

"Of course."

"That's why I came to you for help." Sean spread his hands.

Draco looked at him and narrowed his eyes. "Why do you want to have a thing with him? Don't say you want to make friends with him. You two have never met before, let alone made friends. There's no need to go out and find a loner like him."

"Okay, let me tell you the truth," Sean spread his hands, "I am interested in the history of his family. I recently discovered some interesting things that happen to have something to do with his family's history."

Draco glanced at Sean, "You want to know more about his family's history?"

"Uh-huh."

Draco didn't ask Sean what the purpose was, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I can help you find out, but Theodore rarely mentions his family, and he's not the kind who likes to share his secrets."

"It doesn't matter. I just need any information, of course; the more detailed it is, the better. Even if Theodore doesn't know, I just need to know their..."

"House location?" Draco narrowed his eyes.

Sean smiled, "Draco, you know me better and better."

"I still don't know what's on your mind. But I have to remind you that all pure-blood families value their family history, genealogy, and other things very much. Even if I find out some news for you, it's not realistic for you to go there."

Sean was dumbfounded. Draco knew his style very well. However, although Sean had this thought, there was no need to do it now. Knowing that Old Nott had returned to Voldemort's arms, he rashly went to his house to provoke the Death Eaters.

"Forget it. I'll take care of your things, and I'll try my best to find out as much information as possible for you."

"Thank you, and hoping for the news later."

"Don't mention it."

----

Days went by, and the manticore was growing up slowly. Of course, the word slowly may not be accurate. In just one month, the creature had grown into a two-foot monster with a big carapace covering its whole body. Sean still couldn't find a way to communicate with this creature.

Draco's investigation of the Nott family's news is coming. Draco had spent a lot of time trying to build his friendship with Theodore. According to the news that Draco sent back from time to time, he and Theodore are already talking about the pure-blood family, and Draco has also begun to lead the topic to the history of the other family.

It won't be long before he can bring back some useful information to Sean.

It was October, and when they returned to the castle from the greenhouse that day, a large group of students had gathered around the bulletin board. Sean passed through the crowd, reading the words on the board.

[The Quadwizard Tournament

Representatives from Nurmengard, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang will arrive at six o'clock in the evening on Friday, October 30th. Afternoon classes will end half an hour early. At that time, please put your things back in the common room, gather in front of the castle, welcome our guests, and attend the welcome dinner.]

After reading, Sean snapped his fingers, "Good news, the last class that day is Snape's class. I can save half an hour from his torture."

Hermione raised her eyebrows, "He will probably try to compress the time and increase the intensity of the torturing of you later."

"Hermione, can I have some time to relax?" Sean couldn't help but laugh.

Hermione shrugged, "I'm just saying."

"People from other schools are coming, and the tournament is about to begin. The rooms on the fifth floor have all been cleaned up. It's apparent that this is a big event, given that those rooms haven't been cleaned all these years since I entered here."

"Because this is a very important event." While talking, Hermione stopped and looked back at Sean, "And you are still planning to participate?"

"Why not? It's interesting." Sean said with a smile,

Hermione rolled his eyes at him and said, "I must remind you that this is not a child's play. The tournament is dangerous, and you must not go to the competition with such a relaxed mentality."

Seeing Hermione's attitude, Sean put away his smile and said seriously, "I assure you, I will take it seriously."

"I hope you do."

A week had passed on the morning of October 30th when they went downstairs for breakfast. They found that the Great Hall had been decorated. Huge banners hung on the walls, each one representing Hogwarts houses.

Gryffindor with a golden lion red banner, Ravenclaw with a bronze eagle yellow banner, Hufflepuff with a black badger blue banner, and Slytherin with a silver python green banner. Behind them, there was a big banner with the Hogwarts crest containing a Lion, Eagle, Badger, and Snake put together and surrounded by a large letter 'H'.
