Harry Potter’s Strongest Senior - Chapter 279
Sean’s expression was genuine. He really didn’t lie. He only picked four fruits. At that time, he could pick a few more, but he insisted on keeping a line in everything and only taking the amount he needed was enough.
“What happened to Snakehead Fruit?” Sean asked.
“The Uganda snakehead fruit auction, which was originally held on August 15, was suddenly cancelled the day before.” Snape said the reason for the incident.
This matter was mentioned in the international introduction section of the August 14 issue of the Daily Prophet, but Sean didn’t notice it.
Dumbledore said, “According to internal information, the picking team from the Uganda Ministry of Magic returned from Alcatraz Island empty-handed, so I want to ask you if you have finished picking all the fruits.”
Sean immediately understood that after the frog dragon was eliminated by him, the silver-backed golden-crowned gorillas would have no control, and they would no longer be restrained, so the picking team would definitely be affected by picking snakehead fruit.
The actual situation on Alcatraz Island is similar to what Sean guessed. Originally, the Ministry of Magic and Frog Dragon reached an agreement, and it took decades of tribute to exchange for the snake head fruit.
But the silver-backed golden crown does not like to eat people, so this transaction is invalid for them, and the snake head fruit will not be handed over to human beings. The silver-backed golden crown can let the picking team go back alive, which is a great act of kindness.
From now on, if it is not forcibly robbed by force, the Uganda Ministry of Magic will never get the snakehead fruit again.
Sean scratched his head, “I definitely only picked four. Could it be because we angered the silver-backed golden crown that the picking team couldn’t pick the fruit.”
“This possibility also exists.” Dumbledore nodded, “We don’t care about the snakehead fruit. We asked you to come with a task for you.”
“Task?”
“Astoria, Voldemort’s behavior is abnormal, I need you to keep an eye on Astoria, and report any strange behavior to me immediately,” Dumbledore said.
Sean thought, Astoria really should pay more attention, just like Draco was manipulated by Voldemort at that time, if Sean had not discovered it earlier, Draco might have hidden the Horcrux in the Room of Requirement. Take it back to Voldemort.
Snape added, “At the beginning of this semester, you are the prefect, and you will patrol and observe Astoria more between classes.”
Sean didn’t really want to be a prefect at first, and those trivial things would be troublesome to hear, but now that the professor has said so, he also has to accept the task.
“Well, professor, my early exams this semester are still the same?” Sean asked.
Dumbledore said cheerfully, “No problem, Hogwarts will not hinder the development of outstanding students.”
Ten minutes later, Sean returned to the dormitory. Chriss and Cassius had just finished assigning dormitories to the freshmen.
“Sean, it feels really good to be a prefect. Freshmen are as good as little sheep.” Cassius pulled Sean to the sofa in the common room.
Tonight, the common rooms of the colleges were very lively. The students were sitting around in twos and threes, or standing, sharing the snacks brought from home.
“What’s wrong with Dumbledore asking you to go?” Chris asked curiously.
Sean looked around, then hooked the two of them, signaling to come closer.
“You all know that second-year Astoria was kidnapped by Death Eaters during the summer vacation.”
The two nodded.
“The professor asked me to pay more attention to her, and report to him if there is anything unusual.” Sean whispered.
“Actually, my grandfather also drew my attention to Astoria,” Chris said. “And because of my uncle, I was worried that I would be discriminated against at school.”
Sean looked at Chris, “No wonder Old Barty asked me to take more care of Chris at the train station.”
“You two, usually help me pay attention to Astoria, especially Chris. You are all girls, but don’t be too obvious, it will not cause her psychological pressure.” Sean said.
“By the way, my grandfather also said that the Ministry of Magic intends to send someone to station Hogwarts.”
Cassius opened his mouth, “No way, is the situation so serious? With Dumbledore at Hogwarts, even the Death Eaters wouldn’t dare to come.”
Cassius’ knowledge of Dumbledore is the most powerful and reliable, and it is inexplicably reassuring to have him.
“It’s also a good thing to have the Ministry of Magic stationed there. The safety factor has at least improved.” Sean said.
Sean thought to himself, “It’s better than letting the Dementors wander around the school, and it’s distasteful to watch.”
“This year is going to be tough again. You didn’t see how happy the guys in Gryffindor were at the dinner party, because Professor Black was the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts again this year.” Cassius complained.
Sirius’ eccentricity is blatant, and Snape is only targeting Harry, so he is fair to Gryffindor House, and Sirius clearly prefers Gryffindor House.
As a result, the two professors lashed out at each other. If you deduct Gryffindor, I will deduct Slytherin.
“Yeah, he actually served for two consecutive years.” Sean also sighed that Voldemort’s so-called “curse” was invalid.
At this moment, in the girls’ bedroom upstairs, Astoria’s roommates are sitting around her window, and you care about Astoria every word.
“If you can’t sleep at night or have nightmares, ask us to get up and we’ll accompany you.”
“Thank you.” Astoria said.
In a dilapidated manor, Barty Jr respectfully asked Voldemort.
“Master, how long does it take for the seeds to germinate?”
Voldemort smirked, “Don’t worry, gifts will be delivered before Christmas.”
In this year’s Conservation of Magical Creatures class, due to the retirement of Professor Keitel Byrne, Hagrid took over the position as he wished.
Hagrid’s first class was to teach third-year students about Hippogriffs, and this class was Gryffindor and Slytherin together.
“The hippogriff is very proud. You have to be polite and humble in front of it, otherwise there will be danger,” said Hagrid.
However, the class ended early ten minutes after the start of the get out of class. Draco was injured in class and was sent to the infirmary by Hagrid.
During lunch, Sean saw Draco with a bandage on his arm in the auditorium~www.mtlnovel.com~, and then he remembered that Buckbeak must have been scratched.
“Forgot to remind him not to chatter in front of Buckbeak.”
Fortunately, Draco didn’t yell at his dad to kill Buckbeak as in the original plot.
Before the lunch time was over, two men and a woman entered the auditorium. The woman Sean knew was Tonks.
“Tonks, we meet again, are you here to station at Hogwarts?” Sean stood up and greeted.
Tonks stopped and replied, “You are well informed, yes, the Ministry of Magic sent us to station at Hogwarts.”
The other students also knew that the Aurors were stationed in the school, and Sean didn’t think much about it at first, but since Dumbledore told him to stare at Astoria, was the Auror sent by Fudge to monitor Astoria? .
It’s not that Sean is overthinking, Fudge is a conservative, but first of all he’s a politician, and politicians are well known for their hearts.
Among the two male Aurors, the black man was Kingsley Schalke, a supporter of Dumbledore, and the other was a middle-aged Mediterranean man with thinning hair, Gardwin Robards.
Their mission is to patrol Hogwarts, and sometimes the Prefect Shaun runs into them when he patrols between classes.
The first week of the new semester soon passed. On Saturday night, it was the meeting time of the Ouroboros Wizarding Society. Although Sean was often absent before, he still came to the first week’s meeting.
