Another point worth noting is the Ghostly Horned Serpent.

That day in the Forbidden Forest, it clearly stated that its master was Isolt Thayer.

Logically speaking, the Horned Serpent and Gormlaith should be opposites, but now it is being used by Gormlaith... Is it the effect of Parseltongue?

But what lies hidden behind all these events?

Only Gormlaith Gaunt could probably explain all of this.

Sean was having a headache; the heir to the Chamber of Secrets was a ghost, which was really troublesome...

Hogwarts Castle is enormous, and various magical things exist within it. As a ghost, it would be incredibly easy for Gormlaith to find a place to hide, or rather, she could simply stay hidden in the Chamber of Secrets.

At the same time, just as he couldn't deal with the Ghostly Horned Serpent, Sean didn't know how to handle a ghost.

Ghosts cannot be bound, much less tortured—even though Sean has no qualms about using vigilante justice.

This is troublesome...

The next day, Professor McGonagall also sent word that she had instructed the ghosts to be wary of strange visitors, but that was all; she hadn't yet come up with a good way to deal with the two ghosts.

A peculiar Ghostly Horned Serpent, and a the Moody Witch from the Gaunt family.

Unwilling to give up Sean, Hermione, and Daisy immersed themselves in the library, trying to find a way to deal with the ghost in some ancient books. If the Chamber of Secrets of Secrets were to be opened even once, the lives of everyone in the castle would be threatened. Not to mention that, his father, Mr. Wallop, had already spent a fortune just on buying roosters.

Unfortunately, Hogwarts ' library was too large, and students were not allowed to enter the Restricted Section, so Sean did not find any useful information.

"Sean, it looks like we'll have to wait until Professor Dumbledore returns," Hermione said somewhat resentfully at the dinner table.

She held a Daily Prophet in her hand; the report on the Chamber of Secrets of Secrets at Hogwarts had been published.

[A prestigious university turned into a joke? Students are in danger, and Hogwarts has become a breeding ground!]

"Clickbait headlines are everywhere, don't worry about them, Hermione," Sean took a sip of Pumpkin Juice and smacked his lips. "As long as no one gets hurt, Dumbledore will always be back."

"Everything will be resolved then!" Daisy said confidently from the side.

The Little White Flower has always been in a state of fanatical 'superstition' regarding Sean and Dumbledore.

"Yes, not long," Sean replied with a smile.

Although he didn't know what Dumbledore had gone to do, Sean did not lose faith in the old man.

Just then, Sean's owl Gugu, suddenly flew over with a package.

Who sent me something? Sean opened the package with a puzzled look.

It was a small leather medicine box with two cursive letters on the lock plate at the opening.

L·E

"Oh, that's Mom's mark!" Daisy said from the side.

Lily Evans ... Sean nodded knowingly, then immediately realized what she meant.

This is the Felix Felicis that we agreed on before!

Mrs. Potter is truly a woman of her word... Sean, who had been feeling rather down these past few days, finally broke into a smile.

This is great stuff, really great stuff!

Sean had been eyeing Felix Felicis for a long time. Daisy had previously received a small bottle of Felix Felicis as a reward from Snape. The girl had even secretly told Sean that she could give it to him if he wanted it.

Sean declined the girl's offer, partly because he didn't want to take such a big advantage, and partly because of Snape.

If he had accepted the gift Snape gave Daisy, the contents of the Pumpkin Juice he had just drunk might have been questionable...

Back in the Common Room, Sean eagerly opened the leather medicine box.

A bottle of golden Potions was securely stuffed into the silk.

"Hiss..." Sean gasped.

Mrs. Potter was quite generous!

This bottle is much bigger than the two small medicine bottles that Slughorn and Snape took out!

Sean picked up the bottle and examined it; the amount inside was more than the Pumpkin Juice he had drunk that morning.

It's important to know that people usually only drink a spoonful of this stuff, and for many, even a few drops of Felix Felicis are precious enough.

Inside the box were Lily's instructions.

"Sean, use with caution. Too much Felix Felicis can cause blind arrogance. I've included a spoon; one spoonful is enough each time. Wait at least five years between doses, and if possible, I even suggest ten years—if you're using a dropper, the interval can be shortened."

"Also, you can do whatever you want with this bottle of Felix Felicis; there's enough for a dozen people."

Thoughtful and generous... Sean exclaimed, Lily is such a good person.

He picked up the Felix Felicis, his hands itching with desire.

Sean wasn't going to wait for a certain opportunity; he was going to take it now. His goal was simple: to use the system for Lottery Draw.

To be honest, he had always completed his weekly tasks well, but since the system's prize pool didn't have a guaranteed minimum, he simply drew the prizes without getting any points.

After helping Daisy shed her Obscurus, Sean waited for the arrival of Felix Felicis.

Felix Felicis is not Potions; although it is extremely precious, it does not bring about any particularly substantial changes after consumption.

Sean had considered using Felix Felicis as a life-saving measure, but given the current situation, if anything unexpected happened, he probably wouldn't have time to take it out and drink a sip.

Instead of doing that, why not use the Felix Felicis on the points Lottery Draw? Right now, there are undercurrents within the castle, Sean needs more improvement—perhaps the system's prizes can help him solve his current predicament?

Sean was always a decisive man. He drew the curtains and then carefully poured out a spoonful of Felix Felicis.

The golden Potions remained motionless on the spoon. Sean took a deep breath and swallowed it in one gulp, his heart pounding with trepidation and anticipation.

Slowly, slowly, a feeling of boundless exhilaration flowed through every corner of Sean's body. He felt as if he had endless opportunities; whatever he wanted to do, whatever goals he wanted to achieve... he would succeed, he would succeed in everything...

Sean's smile became confident and relaxed. This wonderful feeling was not just confidence, but a feeling that was hard to describe in words. That mysterious feeling would guide him in doing anything and lead him to success.

He smiled as he looked at the system panel, where he had accumulated a total of 1530 points.

Ten points per draw means one hundred and fifty-three Lottery Draw...

Sean gave the order without hesitation, "Lottery Draw, draw them all."
