Hermione said, "Harry, are you really not going to ask the Chief for help? All I found about the Resurrection Stone was that it lets you see souls. Don't get your hopes up too high."
Harry said, "Seeing souls would be nice too. Sigh, the Chief warned me last year, so I can't tell him. Besides, besides, everyone knows the Chief and Snape are close. Draco, don't you dare tell on me."
Draco said, "I-I'll try. Anyway, didn't you go into the forbidden area once last year? I heard you even got into a fight with that redheaded boy."
Harry said, "Don't remind me. The Three-Headed Dog wasn't in the forbidden area anymore by then. I got all the way to the end and didn't see any treasure..."
Shawn didn't follow them upstairs, nor did he intend to interfere.
Clearly, Dumbledore still believed in that prophecy, and perhaps he was also afraid Shawn would go astray.
So he didn't want to put all his eggs in one basket and was still continuing his plan to groom Harry into the Chosen One.
Shawn turned and continued toward the Forbidden Forest. He wasn't going to pick a fight with the Acromantulas, but to find somewhere to practice spells with the system blocked.

"Thunderclap Annihilation!"
"Avada Kedavra!"
"Avis!"
"Protego!"
"Fire Escape Shield!"
Shawn fired all manner of spells at a tree so thick it would take several people to encircle it. The spells' radiance flashed, bathing his surroundings in a riot of colors.
Holes blasted open in the tree amid a barrage of cracks and pops.
The thunderous noise also sent nearby creatures fleeing in panic.
There was an exception, of course. Not far away, a familiar Unicorn lingered nearby
