บท 458: Chapter 457 "End of The Admission Process"

"That is something that I didn't expect, but it also provided me with a lot of information." Standing beside the Lloyd couple, Dumbledore was talking to Sean while inspecting the two with his wand.

Sean looked at the wand in Dumbledore's hand and thoughtfully said, "Professor, you said that this was unexpected. But you have seen this kind of magic before, right?"

Dumbledore didn't look at him but smiled, "Of course, Sean. When I was in Paris a few years ago, the barrier I put up with effort was easily broken by this kind of power."

Sean was dumbfounded that night in Paris when he transformed into Pride. However, everything later proved that Dumbledore and Grindelwald had just improvised and performed a show together. Sean later discovered the terrifying truth about the Blood Pact. He always felt that these two old men were just playing around.

"But Professor, why do you want me to understand the nature of this magic?"

Dumbledore put down his wand, looked away from Lloyds, and replied, "You tend to think too much most of the time. Let's go back to the basics of things."

Dumbledore smiled at him, "I have always been grateful for your trust in me. I believe that what I have done will not let your trust fail. I think Understanding the nature of some of this magic will be helpful for your future."

After listening to this, Sean nodded thoughtfully. In the future, it will definitely be a fight with Pride. Flicking his wand to levitate the Lloyds, Dumbledore headed out the door.

"Leave this couple to me. Although the problem is a bit troublesome, I can handle it." Sean followed behind him, remembering that there were Thomas and the others in his ring.

"Professor, what about those three?"

Dumbledore has walked to the door, "I've checked them. They didn't cause the tampering with the Portkey, so I leave it to you."

Obviously, restrained by the unbreakable vow, Dumbledore could not deal with Thomas in person.

Sean nodded, "I see, Professor. I will let you know as soon as the news comes out."

"Thank you, Sean. If I'm not at Hogwarts, you can ask the gargoyle for the information."

"Okay. By the way, professor, what about my recruiting job?"

Dumbledore replied, "I hope you can continue it, and..."

He turned his head and glanced at Sean at the door. "If you find similar situations again, although I think this possibility is small, I hope you can notify me immediately."

With that said, a new Portkey was taken out by Dumbledore, "This time, I assure you, it will never happen again."

Sean took the Portkey, "I still trust you as always, Professor."

Dumbledore looked a little moved and smiled, "Thank you, Sean."

"You're welcome, Professor. By the way, I have another question."

"Yes?"

"Durmstrang must have something. They will participate in next semester's tournament, right?" Sean asked suspiciously.

Having to let Durmstrang, or parts of Durmstrang, into Hogwarts, knowing something is wrong with them, could lead to a repeat of the Max Dawson incident.

Dumbledore laughed, "The tournament will continue as usual. I know what you are worried about. However, I will ensure everyone's safety."

Now that Dumbledore had said so, Sean didn't ask too much. After saying goodbye, he led the Lloyds outside. Sean was left alone in the Room of Requirement for a while before finally shrugging.

"At least I don't keep guessing his riddles like I used to."

----

"I'm looking forward to meeting you in the new semester. I won't bother you much; let's go." After greeting the freshmen and their parents, Sean smiled and left.

After walking a few steps, Daniels, the admissions officer of other schools, was impatiently waiting for him on the corner of the street.

"Are you in a hurry?" Sean said with a smile.

Daniel's expression was the calmest. He looked at Sean and said, "You spend too much time explaining stuff to them. But this is the last one."

Sean looked surprised, "This is the last one? Oh, it's a shame. Doesn't this mean that our cooperation has come to an end?"

Adam from Durmstrang gave Sean a sullen look and Apparated away without even saying goodbye.

Sean shrugged, "It seems that Mr. Adam needs to go back and report his results to the school immediately."

Daniels' eyes twitched. In the past few days, a few of them have been talking about recruiting students together, but it might be more appropriate to describe them as just following Sean.

He has a really powerful mouth and is used to using all kinds of tricks to get the new students. Sean's endless thoughts and methods made them miserable. Sean is completely overtaking them. Daniels knew that he even had a lot of advantages. Sean would always win over the situation no matter what.

Although Daniels and Nadia didn't want to admit it, Sean easily recruited many new students. What Daniels couldn't understand was that from the second day of enrollment, Sean showed hostility towards Durmstrang without even covering it up.

Apart from the occasional wizarding families related to Durmstrang, Adam didn't even recruit new students. Once the new family shows interest in Durmstrang, Sean will try his best to change their minds. Even if Hogwarts can't get them, he must ruin Durmstrang's value in their eyes.

Adam confronted him once. As soon as Adam's wand was pulled out, Sean disarmed it. Both of them got into an argument for a while. Daniels felt that Adam was quite a responsible admissions officer for being able to endure all this until the last day before leaving.

Looking at their expressions, Sean certainly knew what they were thinking, but he didn't care.

After so many days of provocation and deliberate suppression, what Adam showed was an expected reaction. Sean could confirm that Adam didn't seem to know anything about Pride and the Returners. He is just your average admissions officer.

In the end, he talked to Daniels and Nadia, and the enrollment was completely over.

"Next semester, I look forward to meeting you two again." Sean smiled and waved.

Nadia glared at him and waved her hand, "Don't get your hopes too much."

Daniels glanced at Nadia and shook his head silently in his heart. Although he was in a state of being suppressed, it was after working together for such a long time that he still admired Sean.

Daniels also nodded at Sean, "See you later."

The two disappeared in place.

Sean snapped his fingers and looked into the distance, "Well, the enrollment is almost done. However, there are two left. I'll go to them in person."

----

On one side of Godric's Hollow, a boy and a girl were peeking out at the tree.

"Try this. I asked my mother and Mrs. Jones, who owns the bakery, to make this."

"Oh, the taste is really good. Your craft is getting better and better, Daisy."

Hearing Sean's praise, Daisy narrowed her eyes, took out a piece of snack, put it in her mouth, and chewed it while looking at the big tree not far away.

"Sean, guess what they are talking about?"

Sean chewed and swallowed the cookie and said with a narrow smile, "I don't know. Something good, I guess?"

Daisy accidentally sprayed out a little bit of biscuit crumbs.

Sean smiled and handed over a handkerchief, "Please pay attention to your image."

Daisy took the handkerchief and smiled at him, "I don't need to maintain my image in front of you."

"But it's a necessity."

Daisy wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, stuffed it back into Sean's pocket, and said, "They are probably planning something. Can you trick them with a little of something? You know, just a little goof to scare them away."

Sean bumped her on the shoulder, "Don't say and encourage me to do that."

Daisy stuck out her tongue and said confidently, "But you already did it, and I saw it. I'm just saying."

"Should I thank you for your understanding?" Sean laughed.

Daisy raised her chest proudly, "You're welcome, Mr. Wallup."

While the two were talking and laughing, a boy and a girl were struggling with each other under the tree.

"Capone, the school starts in one month." The girl said.

"Yes. Melanie, have you finished your homework yet?"

Sean and Daisy, who eavesdropped on their conversation, almost laughed out loud.

Today is July 31st, and it is Daisy and Harry's birthday. Sean came to Godric's Hollow early to celebrate their birthdays and recruit the remaining two students.

Capone, who was taken care of by a Squib father and has great magic power and Obscurus seeds in his body, and Melanie, the mayor's daughter, who has been helping Capone.

Capone's admission to Hogwarts is a certainty, but this teenager, who has been struggling to get along with his best friend Melanie in the future, didn't expect it.

Melanie is also a potential wizard.

Before Sean, other admissions officers from Hogwarts had approached Melanie, but after Sean learned this information, he asked that colleague not to issue it and let him do it himself.

Sean came to Godric's Hollow, and after enjoying breakfast at Potter's house, Daisy came up with an idea. He has to say that Daisy really understands Sean's thoughts very well. But Capone and Melanie obviously didn't know that they would go to the same school later.

"I'm going to be a wizard; what will my best friend react to later? How will I get along with her later?"

The two are caught in the biggest problem of their lives. They don't want to lose their company, but they also know that wizards and ordinary people can't live in the same world.

Listening to the embarrassing conversation between the two, Daisy blinked and said, "Actually, I feel weird. Why can't I keep the relationship with my original friends after becoming a wizard? I haven't seen them for a while. "

Sean smiled, "No matter what the relationship is, it needs to be managed, and both parties can continue it as long they're willing."

Daisy tilted her head and looked at him, "As long as you're willing, huh? The relationship between them has broken down at this moment, and you just want to play a little with them."

Sean spread his hands, "I mean it. I trust them both, and they will keep their friendship going."

"Huh, why so?" Daisy asked curiously.
