Chapter 217 Ready

Probably because of the rough effect of the spell, Hermione and Daisy frowned and thought for a long time but couldn't find a satisfactory new name. Sean, who had no choice in naming, decided to be more intuitive.

"Wingardium, the decision is yours!"

Hermione and Daisy looked at each other, then turned their heads.

"Don't you think this name is very intuitive?" Sean murmured behind the two of them.

"It sounds very domineering. I bet that if we vote, this cursed name will definitely get the most votes——"

"Hey, wait for me -"

…

Sean's busy study life continued, and he found that after staying in Nurmengard for a long time, he actually developed a lot of familiarity and intimacy.

Although everything here is very different from Hogwarts, the students here are not so friendly.

But after the duel lessons, no one would blatantly come to trouble Sean.

During this period, the Weasley brothers inquired about the Nurmengard seventh grader who had led a group of people to beat them. The other party's name is Fabian Aiken, who is from France. I heard that his family has some connections with the goblins responsible for minting coins. They are a well-known wealthy family in the French wizarding world.

Not only that, Fabian Aiken is also a famous radical student leader in Nurmengard School. In the senior year, when students are about to enter the wizarding society, some small groups similar to factions are formed in the school.

These teams are similar to the predecessors of some organizations in wizarding society. Fabian Aiken's small team is said to be connected to the Wizards' Rights Protection Association in the French wizarding world.

This "Wizards' Rights Protection Association" seems to be another version of the "Wizards' Reform Association" founded by Grindelwald. They believe that wizards are nobler than Muggles, and most of the voices in the association are that wizards should rule the world.

It is said that the leader of the association is currently running for the position of Minister of the French Ministry of Magic.

Sure enough, the school is just a small society, just a fight, and there are so many circles behind the leader.

However, these are not within the scope of Sean's consideration. It is natural for students to solve their problems and repay debts - and who doesn't have a few big guys behind him?

Sean asked the twins to inquire about Fabian Aiken's usual route of action in the castle, which he would need later.

His key task now is to wait for the full moon.

One day in mid-January, Sean got up early, got dressed and went to the window.

The weather outside the window was pretty good, with the faint golden sunshine shining through the thin clouds on the mountains next to the castle.

"Looks okay..." Even Sean, who was always calm, felt a little nervous now.

Today is the thirtieth day since he sucked the mandrake blades into his mouth. Sean clearly felt that his saliva was secreting more and more. Moreover, the harsh and pungent smell on the leaves has completely disappeared, replaced by a sweet irony smell similar to the taste of blood.

As long as tonight's full moon is not blocked by clouds, then the Animagus' first step will be considered a success.

With a nervous and slightly uneasy mood, Sean was not in his best condition all day. Fortunately, today's classes were not heavy, and no one came to trouble him at this critical time.

Finally, after the afternoon spells class ended, the sky gradually became dark.

"Sean, are you going now?" At the corner of the stone corridor, Hermione looked at the boy nervously.

Sean nodded: "It's getting dark now, I have to wait."

In order to facilitate Sean's quiet behavior, Grindelwald opened the terrace on the east side of the castle to him. As soon as the full moon rose in the sky, Sean would immediately take out the blades.

In the first step of becoming an Animagus, you need to remove the leaf during the full moon, fill a crystal vial with saliva, and soak the leaf in it to allow it to receive pure moonlight.

After receiving the moonlight, the crystal bottle should be placed in a quiet, dark place. It must not come into contact with sunlight, and cannot be seen or disturbed by wizards.

In order to ensure that everything goes smoothly, Hermione and Daisy cannot follow Sean.

"It will definitely go well." Both girls cheered.

"I think so too." Sean smiled.

When Sean and the two of them walked to the deserted east terrace, the sky was completely dark. However, the sky was pitch black and the moon had not risen yet.

"I hope there is no accident... I hope there are no dark clouds..." Sean prayed secretly.

As time passed, the huge bells of "dong", "dong" and "dong" sounded. This was the sound made by the bell tower on the northernmost side of Nurmengard Castle.

"Huh?" Sean looked to the north in confusion.

This bell tower does not usually chime the time. It only rings when students need to gather.

"Dinner should have just finished now..." Sean muttered a few words, hesitating whether he should go over to gather.

At this time, footsteps came from the entrance to the terrace, and Grindelwald appeared with his hands behind his back.

"gentlemen……"

"Shh..." Grindelwald put a finger in front of his lips and gestured with a smile, "Now is the critical moment, you just need to focus on the present."

He stood at the entrance and exit, leaning casually on the stone wall.

"It will be at least an hour before the full moon rises. Of course, it is right for you to come here and prepare in advance." He looked interested. "In order to avoid accidents, I made an excuse to let the students go back to rest, so, No one will disturb you tonight."

It turns out that the bell was for me... Sean nodded gratefully.

"Thank you very much, sir."

Grindelwald waved his hand: "Of course you have to thank me, I am so considerate and kind - ha, are you not used to it? If it were Albus, he would definitely do all this silently in secret. I will It’s different. The purpose of what I do is to form a good relationship with you, and now you owe me a favor, and you will have to pay it back later——"

What an old man who doesn't play by the rules... Sean smiled and nodded: "Of course, sir."

"It's good that you can understand. Oh, I can already feel our hearts getting closer. This feels really good -" Grindelwald snapped his fingers, enjoying the hot butter beer and steaming steak. Appeared next to Sean, "There is still time, I won't disturb you, remember to eat~"

He smiled, waved, and left the terrace.

Frank and humorous, Grindelwald's charisma is truly irresistible...

Sean sighed, took a sip of warm butterbeer, and looked at the sky while eating his steak.

However, after the cup was empty for a while and the warmth brought by the butterbeer dissipated from Sean's body, the moon still did not appear.

The sky was like pure black velvet, with no clouds, stars, or moon in sight.

"There's not enough time, I can't say for sure..." Sean used magic to create a flame like a blue bellflower. He put his hands next to the flame to keep warm and muttered.

As time went on, Sean became more and more anxious.

"Huh..." He looked at the time. It had been four hours since he arrived here. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, but there was still no light in the night sky.

If it exceeds twelve o'clock, it means that a natural month has been completely passed. By then, it will be useless even if the moon hangs high again.

Sean gave a wry smile. Although he had already prepared his mind mentally, it was not easy to become an Animagus. But losing because of luck can really put a person in a bad mood.

Time passed bit by bit, and there were only the last twenty minutes left before the end of the day. At this moment, half a full moon finally appeared faintly at the highest point in the sky.

"There's still something to play!" Sean cheered up. The potion in the crystal bottle only needed to be exposed to the moonlight for a few minutes.

The moon seemed to have heard his prayer, and the thick clouds in the sky finally began to move slowly.

The bright full moon finally fully revealed its figure with only ten minutes left.

Sean, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately opened the cork of the crystal vial, filled it with saliva and spit out the leaves to soak in it.

He placed the crystal vial on the railing so that it could fully receive the pure moonlight.

"Three hundred, two hundred and ninety-nine, two hundred and ninety-eight..." Sean silently counted his heartbeats.

Three hundred heartbeats later, he pulled off a piece of his hair, put the hair in a silver teaspoon and put it into a crystal bottle. The dew on the teaspoon had been collected from an area that had not been exposed to sunlight or human contact for seven full days.

When these things were completely put into the crystal bottle, Sean saw that the liquid inside suddenly calmed down, and the fine bubbles inside quickly disappeared. His hair followed the veins of the mandrake and stuck closely to the leaves. superior.

It fits the description... Huh, Sean took a deep breath, then took out a brown and black cocoon-like object and put it in. There was a gloomy face pattern on it, which was the pupa of the Grimace Hawkmoth.

After being put into the pupa, Sean immediately capped the bottle, put the crystal vial into a sealed medicine box, and then quickly rushed to the underground classroom.

God still favors me... Sean thought happily while speeding up his pace.

It was already midnight, and Grindelwald had issued a curfew notice. There were no troublemakers wandering around at night in the castle, and Sean reached the underground classroom without any hindrance.

He quickly opened the stone chamber in the inner corner of the room, and then carefully placed the crystal vial inside.

When the door of the stone room was closed, Sean breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh... Although it was a little tight in the end, it went surprisingly smoothly." He wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered to himself relaxedly.

Next, it’s time to wait for the storm to come.
