章節 462: Chapter 461 "A Lesson"
Capone froze for a moment and shook his head, "I'm not angry at all that you didn't come to help me, but his impoliteness did make me a little angry."
Sean smiled, "Are you even angrier because of Melanie?"
Capone scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Yes, sir..."
"It's normal. When facing rude people, people will get angry. When the bottom line is bothered, the anger will grow more. Do you know why I didn't come out immediately?" Sean asked.
Now, Capone has become accustomed to thinking more before answering questions and preparing more before doing things. After frowning and thinking for a while, he said, "Although it may be a bit too much to say so. But I always feel that you have been teaching me something."
Sean continued, "Yes, I can tell you straightforwardly that you have good talents and character, and at the same time, I am willing to train you. In the face of such an excellent seed, I can't help but want to grow you well, and I have reason to believe that you can meet my expectations in the future and become better than myself."
Sean's sincere appreciation made Capone blush, and he felt that his head would be dizzy now. He has always had an inferiority complex and longs to be recognized. He is suddenly speechless.
Sean smiled when he saw this and patted him on the back, "Pay attention to your image. Your biggest shortcoming now is that you are easily excited. Remember one thing: Other people who can teach you things and make you better are also worthy of your respect, and don't be so rigid."
Capone froze for a moment and nodded, "I understand."
"It's good to understand. Your brain has always worked well for me. Now, back to the topic, the reason I didn't make a move is to let you feel more deeply. You need confidence in the wizarding world, and this confidence is your strength. When your strength is insufficient, you won't survive here."
Hearing Sean's words, Capone pursed his lips. He felt a sense of powerlessness; the boy with a good background was the same age as himself, but when he insulted him at the beginning, he could only be angry with himself and couldn't resist. With Mr. Reiss, it is even more stressful. But when Sean shows up, he can only run away.
Seeing Capone's expression, Sean knew that he had listened to his words, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "This is the storefront of Ollivander's family. Miss Ollivander and I are good friends. I wouldn't ignore the Ollivander family by acting rashly. But as you can see, Miss Ollivander also has her own way of solving the problem."
Capone nodded, but he had not considered this before.
"Of course, I was involved in the matter; it was purely a coincidence," Sean said, spreading his hands. However, no matter whether I made a move or not, I have prepared something for you."
"Is it magic or a way to deal with wizards?" Capone became curious.
Sean smiled mysteriously, "No, it's people's hearts."
"People's hearts..."
"This is a very important lesson I learned, and I think you should know it too."
With what he learned from Grindelwald, Sean felt the magic of seeing through people's hearts more than once. What he used was only his brain, but the effect was comparable to the strongest spell. Both he and Grindelwald firmly believe that a good wizard must have a brain as good as his spells.
Grindelwald also agrees with the practice Sean taught others.
Sean led Capone to walk slowly on the streets of Diagon Alley and talked with Capone little by little in the most basic way about what Grindelwald had taught him and his insights.
He was a bit confused, but he tried his best to understand what Sean said with all his energy. Even if he couldn't understand it for a while, he still had to keep it firmly in his mind.
Melanie was a little surprised that the two had been talking for so long, and she couldn't help but join the conversation after getting Sean's approval. Capone and Melanie have just been exposed to the wizarding world, and Sean once again knocks on a door.
The two gradually began to realize that what Sean taught them was comparable to magic.
Sean took a sip of the summer special magic sparkling water from Florean Fortescue Ice Cream Parlor and sighed with satisfaction, "Let's stop here today. These are enough for you to think about it for a while."
Capone and Melanie nodded. Both of them were recalling what they didn't understand and were about to engrave those words firmly in their minds. Melanie glanced at Capone while muttering. She turned to ask the owner politely for a pen and paper and returned to her seat.
"Capone, after finishing writing, let's go back and review it."
Sean glanced at Melanie. After a while, both of them memorized a large sheet and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, no need to be so stiff and nervous. We will be in the same school in the future. If you have any doubts, you can come to me." Sean smiled and spread his hands.
"Thank you," Capone replied.
Melanie thanked Sean and asked curiously, "You said that Henry Reiss was the first test for Capone?"
Sean nodded, "Yeah, isn't it pleasant that you can fight back someone who used to look down on you in another way? Besides, the test has to start from the basics."
Capone bit his pen. As Sean said before, communicating with people depends on the situation. If they have no moral upholds, then you can go all out since they're not a good person like Henry Reiss before. Later, if that person changes their behavior, then you should show them some sincerity.
Combined with Sean's few small examples, Capone suddenly felt that he had a new understanding of his way of life.
They talked about some other things, and her curiosity came up, and she asked curiously, "Did you also encounter such a situation before?"
Sean nodded casually, "Of course, someone troubled me not long after I got on the train."
"How did you handle it?"
Sean raised his head and recalled, "I almost forgot how it goes, but when words won't work on a person."
He waved his wand, "Physical persuasion works well sometimes."
Florean, the owner of the shop who heard the conversation, wiped the cold sweat from his brow. He felt a bit mad about Henry Reiss. That kid made trouble for him so many times; his family had a lot of ice cream for free for the longest time, and it was time for some payback.
Sean smiled and led the two of them out of the shop after paying the bill.
"Capone, look back."
Hearing Sean's words, Capone turned his head but saw the kind shopkeeper mumbling something with disgust and the joy of getting revenge on his face.
"He heard part of our conversation just now," Sean said with a smile.
Capone's eyes widened, "What?"
Sean pointed, "Yes, he heard it. But if I don't want to, he can't hear anything."
"But why?"
Sean laughed, "You still have a lot to learn. Next time, you can go to the ice cream shop by yourself; Mr. Florean should be happy to give you an ice cream."
Capone nodded.
"Okay, let's go and see what else we still need to buy. Do you two have any favorite animals?"
----
A crimson steam locomotive was stationed beside a platform packed with passengers. A sign on the train reads 'Hogwarts Express'. Capone looked back and saw that what used to be a wall was now a wrought iron archway with the letter saying Platform 9 ¾.
The boy couldn't contain his excitement. The smoke of the steam locomotive hovered over the chattering crowd, and cats of various colors walked around under the people's feet. Amidst the buzzing crowd and the noise of dragging heavy luggage, several owls and chattering could be heard.
Capone reassured his owl named "Leon" on his suitcase, which was a gift from Sean. He looked around excitedly and then looked back. Sure enough, Melanie also passed through, followed by her father and her mother with shocked faces.
After she said goodbye to her parents, Capone led the way to a carriage, dragging the heavy suitcase.
"Hey, do you need help?" A voice rang out.
He turned his head and saw a pair of twin brothers with red hair. Both of them were tall and had smiles on their faces all the time.
"Oh, thank you."
When the brothers helped him and Melanie carry the suitcase, chatted casually, and ran away, Capone saw that a large family of red-haired boys and girls was in the direction they were running, and they seemed to be a family.
"The Weasley brother seems nice," Melanie said after pushing the suitcase behind her.
Capone nodded and looked in the direction where the two brothers had left.
The two were walking inside the train. It looked huge from the outside, but after entering, it was even bigger, and the carriage was much longer than he had imagined. Many students of different grades walked through the corridors. They searched for a while before they found an empty room and hurried into it.
"This trip looks a bit complicated." Capone let out a sigh of relief.
Melanie was also very tired; her hair was sticking to her forehead, but she looked excited, "But we're going to Hogwarts, Capone!"
Capone also showed a smile: "Yeah, we are going to Hogwarts..."
Not long after, the train started moving, and Capone's heart trembled. Melanie also looked excited. She was about to speak but suddenly heard a burst of excited shouts from outside.
The two poked their heads out and found a person surrounded by many students. The other person was wearing a fifth-grade uniform with a prefect badge pinned to his chest.
It was Sean.
"He seems very popular in school, and the students in the second and third grades seem to admire him very much."
"As expected from him," Capone said with admiration.
Sean, in the crowd, saw two small heads poking out, smiled, and walked toward them.
