Valley and Lake Island, Opening Soon
The conflict that occurred at the Quidditch Pitch spread quickly, and the news soon reached some students from Newmontgard, Beauxbatons, and Hogwarts who were not present that day.
"The fate of the Durmstrang Champion is unknown, all because he said this?"
"Why did Mr. Nice Guy suddenly Wrath, Mr. Wallop, the teaching assistant for the Transfiguration?"
"A wild Thunderbird has appeared at Hogwarts. A reward is offered for one Bronze Knut —or three Knut for a pair."
"The demons roar in the blood, the white flowers weep in the rain, and Daisy Potter suffers all kinds of injustices!"
"On the One Hundred Possibilities of Summoning Charm Mutation—Do you also want to summon Fire Dragon, Thunderbird, Occamy, and Mountain Trolls? ' The Mutation Rules ' is only available for three Galleon, limited to one hundred copies!"
"The Durmstrang Method of Education - On the Fancy Names of the Mudblood"
"A despicable principal and students, a century-old Europe school ruined in an instant—the rise and fall of Durmstrang."
What happened on the field was turned into all sorts of gossip and spread to every corner of the castle. Some people even actually believed some of the rumors—that a younger student had bought the book "The Mutation Rules" from the Weasley twins, simply because the two guys claimed that Sean had also participated in writing it.
Sean didn't bother with it. He was indeed involved in that spellbook, which recorded some possibilities and consequences of spell mutations. It was something he planned to teach his students in his Transfiguration class.
Of course, after excluding these things, the general direction was not much different from Sean's prediction—the events of that day were publicized by the members of the Golden Dawn in various ways. Of course, the focus of the publicity was Reinhardt Nott's vicious remarks and Principal Durmstrang's unreasonable protection of Karkaroff own.
As a victim, Sean was able to calmly reason with the other party after being insulted—but when his friend was also viciously attacked, he couldn't help but retaliate, which earned him unanimous praise.
On the one hand, Sean usually enjoys far greater popularity and reputation than his counterpart, while Reinhardt Nott already has a poor reputation, and with the addition of the unpopular Professor Karkaroff, it's quite obvious which side the students are leaning towards.
On the other hand, it was also related to Daisy's brilliant performance at the end. The tearful Little White Flower was captured by Colin Creevey in the stands—this guy was originally going to film Krum riding his Flying Broomstick.
While the heroic figure wasn't captured, all four terrifying Thunderbird were in the frame, as was Reinhardt, who was easily defeated by Sean. Of course, Daisy's performance, which would evoke pity at first glance, was also quickly turned into a moving black-and-white photograph.
Because of her delicate features and outstanding abilities, Daisy already had a high reputation among the students. Who wouldn't be confused by this photo?
Although some have mentioned whether Daisy was secretly winking at Sean at the end, Snape happened to be passing by in the corridor when this clever little devil asked the question.
Hagrid ran out of Flobberworm for the Potions. The little rascal dissected five whole crates of caterpillars, and it took two Galleon of shower gel to barely wash off the slime on his body.
From then on, no one dared to question the authenticity of Daisy's tearful outburst that day, especially after Snape had a whole week of classes with a dark expression on his face.
The whole incident escalated faster than Sean had anticipated. Starting the next day, Hogwarts students became extremely unfriendly whenever they saw Durmstrang. Reinhardt's Mudblood attack was intended to provoke anger among those around Sean and escalate the whole affair into a wizarding shootout. Given the magnitude of the event, his verbal attacks naturally became less significant.
However, Sean stopped the angry Fred and the others, Reinhardt naturally became a scoundrel who was being taught a lesson for being too vicious. Although Sean's behavior violated school rules, no Hogwarts student thought he had done anything wrong - even Hagrid, Professor Flitwick, and others secretly expressed their approval to him.
Reinhardt's Mudblood has fully fermented, especially with Karkaroff's protective behavior. These two basically represent Durmstrang's attitude, regardless of whether Durmstrang really wants to be represented by them.
Students from the Muggle Family already made up a large portion of the wizarding community, and with their friends, Reinhardt practically controlled the entire Hogwarts.
Even the Slytherin were very dissatisfied. Under the Malfoy ' Pure-blood ideology, uttering the insulting term "Mudblood" had become a very dishonorable act for Pure-blood Wizard. They were even more furious than some Muggle-born students—honor was more important than life!
Influenced by the Hogwarts students, the students of Beauxbatons and Newmontgard gradually became hostile to Durmstrang. Now, apart from necessary activities such as eating and attending classes, Durmstrang students almost never appear outside the ship—wherever they go, they are ridiculed, regardless of what year, house, or school uniform the other party is wearing.
Who could stand this?
In particular, if you are alone, you might get your head covered and beaten up by a "malicious" Hogwarts student—afterwards, the little figure in the oil painting who witnessed the whole thing will only say that he was harvesting wheat and didn't see anything.
Even the once very popular Krum was suddenly sidelined. Sean's accusations of double standards against him were widely circulated, and public opinion of the Quidditch star plummeted. Although there were still many die-hard fans, their friends quickly corrected their mistakes.
Even with Durmstrang students staying home, some people still set their sights on the Hospital Wing.
After Reinhardt Nott was taken to the hospital that day, Madam Pomfrey conducted a thorough examination on him and concluded that his life was not in danger. However, even with the use of magic and Healing Potion, Reinhardt would need to stay in the Hospital Wing for at least three weeks.
Many Hogwarts students were planning to sneak into the Hospital Wing to teach this guy another lesson, mainly the hot-blooded Gryffindor and the cunning Slytherin —the little lions were impulsive to begin with, especially after Reinhardt was hailed as the most wicked person, they were eager to teach this arrogant bastard a lesson. The Little Snakes, however, were thinking a little further; if they could teach Reinhardt a lesson again, their status in Slytherin House might improve, especially since Malfoy had already declared he'd cause him more trouble after he was discharged...
Why not take advantage of their weakness now?
Slytherin have only the glory of Pure-blood, but no martial virtue.
Unfortunately, the group that sneaked into the Hospital Wing was quickly discovered. The little lions and Little Snakes, who were scolded and then released, mingled together and chattered away.
"Tch, that guy Karkaroff actually arranged for so many people to guard the Hospital Wing."
"What a coward! A patient needs so many people to protect him—we hope our actions weren't predicted?"
"That makes some sense, after all, Karkaroff looks very cunning."
If Karkaroff heard these students' discussion, he would probably just curse them as troublemakers. How could he have predicted that Reinhardt's words would escalate to this point? Although the attitudes of other schools are not a major concern, Durmstrang being regarded as an enemy of wizards is something he absolutely does not want.
As for why so many people were arranged in the Hospital Wing?
Karkaroff didn't want to make such a fuss, but he couldn't forget Snape's look—especially that night, after a professor he had arranged to stay with in the Hospital Wing fell into a coma due to poisoning.
Although the investigation later concluded that the professor had mistakenly taken a bottle of medicine from Madam Pomfrey, Karkaroff simply did not believe it!
This must have been Snape's doing!
He felt that if he didn't send more people to the Hospital Wing, Reinhardt might not be able to return to Durmstrang as a complete wizard...
Meanwhile, Sean, the mastermind behind it all, is having his usual secret meetings with young Master Malfoy.
In the empty classroom, Sean sat at his desk as Malfoy told him about recent events.
"... The activities are going very smoothly. Now, almost half of the Slytherin House are members of my Society of Glory." Malfoy finished recounting the recent events and rubbed his blond hair with a hint of pride.
Sean exclaimed, "As expected of the cunning young master of the Malfoy Family, one of the representatives of Pure-blood Wizard. Indeed, you never disappoint me."
Malfoy was even more smug. "I told you long ago, I can do these things very well—no! We're collaborating! I've borrowed your ideas!"
Sean waved his hand. "Of course, I only came up with a small idea. You are the one who expands on it and puts it into action. I can even see Slytherin House thriving decades from now, and the introduction of Draco Malfoy, the Founders of the Society of Glory, hanging at the entrance of the Common Room."
Malfoy raised his nose. "Of course."
The two chatted happily about the future and boasted for a while before Malfoy said, "By the way, that Capen Roman, isn't he your apprentice?"
Sean nodded. He knew Capen was planning something, but he wasn't going to interfere.
"He seems to have some kind of grudge against Mr. Lestrange's youngest son, the head of the Counterfeit Defensive Spell and Protective Equipment Investigation and Seizure Office. He seems to be making some moves lately, and Young Lestrange once asked him for help to teach Capen a lesson, but I ignored him—how about it, want to secretly help your little apprentice?" Malfoy said casually.
Given his current status in Slytherin, disciplining a first-year student would be as easy as snapping his fingers.
Sean waved his hand with a smile, "No need, Capen has a great idea."
Malfoy pondered for a moment and nodded, "That's true, after all, he's your student, and you're there to back him up."
Sean jumped off his desk and stretched. "Where's Theodore Nott? Did you hit it off with him?"
Speaking of this, Malfoy frowned somewhat awkwardly. "He and I are on good terms, but this guy is very wary. Forget about getting any information about the Nott family's ancestral heritage, he hasn't even joined the Society of Glory. But the matter you asked me to investigate last time has yielded some results. It seems that Reinhardt Nott and Theodore Nott are just people with the same surname. The Nott family in England doesn't have any branches in other countries."
Sean nodded thoughtfully. "I see... Then? How about I do it myself?"
Malfoy refused Sean without hesitation. "No problem, leave it to me."
It's rare for Sean to ask me for help. If I can't even handle this small matter, how can I call myself Mr. Draco Malfoy, the president of the Society of Glory, in the future?
Sean sized up Malfoy and finally agreed, "Then let's end the semester. I expect you can dig up more information, otherwise I'll have to visit them in person."
It's not that this matter isn't important, after all, it involves "Mr. Unfooled Spectator Fooling's Tricks," a participant in the Bard's story. However, all the mysteries are still too far from Sean's grasp, so this matter can be a little less urgent.
After all, the immediate priority is to find the lurking Sin Vessel and prevent any problems from arising in this Four-School Tournament.
But the most important thing right now is only one thing: the moment when Grindelwald travels through a century is about to arrive.
At that time, the two Grindelwald will truly become one, and the First Generation Dark Lord, with all his power and all his memories, will return in his complete form.
Although he didn't know what he should do yet, Sean knew he had to make sure nothing went wrong. After all, it wasn't just about Grindelwald's safety; if the fusion process went wrong, the World Will might turn its attention back on him, and that would be a real problem.
After talking with Malfoy, Sean, who was about to go find Daisy and the others, suddenly felt a magical fluctuation—the magic circle he left in the attic of Newmontgard was sending a message.
Did Lupin need to talk to me about something?
Sean turned around and went to the Room of Requirement. After passing through the Vanishing Cabinet and arriving at the attic, a note was sent through the fireplace there.
The above is Lupin's handwriting: Someone has found our base and is carrying your token. The man in black asked me to send you a message.
The Valley and Lake Island officially opened on June 24th.
A hint of joy appeared on Sean's face. The person who carried his token and knew where Lupin's base was must be someone sent by Young Grindelwald., who was currently in Godric's Hollow. This meant that the other party had almost absorbed the power of the Qilin blood.
And the Valley and Lake Island were officially open— Sean took a deep breath.
June 24, 1996, was the point in time when Grindelwald traveled a century into the future!
but...
Sean's pupils suddenly contracted sharply.
June 24th?!
Isn't this the time for the final match of the Four-School Tournament?!
