When Sean woke up, he felt full of energy and comfortable all over. When he closed his eyes, he could feel the strong magic power in his body. Before yesterday, Sean did not have this feeling.
Of course, Sean had this obvious feeling because he had just experienced the second magic awakening yesterday, which increased his magic power by nearly double out of thin air, so he had such an obvious feeling.
It is also worth noting that Sean's new talent [Magic Awakening] does not simply increase the number of magic awakenings, but also increases the speed at which Sean's magic grows as he gets older.
In other words, if Sean's magic power increased by 10 every year before, then now his magic power increases by nearly 20 every year, and the growth rate has increased by nearly twice. For Sean, this is the biggest surprise that the talent [Magic Awakening] has brought him.
Snap...
The door of the ward was pushed open, and Snape walked in from outside with the same gusto. He stood in front of Sean's bed and started scolding.
"Sean Bulstrode! What on earth is going on in that Gryffindor-like giant brain of yours? I told you to stay away from the Savior before, but you didn't seem to take my words seriously at all. You insisted on hanging out with the great Savior, like the stupid Weasley, willing to be the Savior's little follower, and sacrifice everything you have, even your life, for the Savior's recklessness, arrogance, and brainlessness?"
Looking at the Snape who was constantly spitting venom at him, Sean knew very well that not only did his dean not have the slightest bit of ill will towards him, but he was acting like that out of concern for him.
After Snape's venom had stopped, Sean smiled and said to him, "Professor, I'm sorry for not listening to your advice. I was planning to go and persuade Harry to leave, but then I heard Harry say that someone was trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone, so I wanted to go with him to take a look. Besides, I have a magic item left to me by my grandfather, which can protect me."
The existence of the pocket watch, whether it was the commotion caused by Miles and the others at the beginning of the school year, or the situation where he avoided Quirrell's killing curse right under Harry's nose, made it no longer a secret that he was carrying the pocket watch, so there was no need for Sean to hide anything on this point.
As expected, after hearing Sean's words, Snape frowned slightly and said, "Sean, any magic item has an upper limit. Although you relied on the magic item to avoid damage this time, it may not be so smooth next time."
"I personally agree with Severus on this point."
Sean and Snape turned to look at the door of the ward at the same time, and saw Dumbledore walking in from outside, eating a handful of multi-flavored beans in his hand.
Sitting on the stool beside the bed, Dumbledore handed over the Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans in his hand and recommended them to Sean: "Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, very good candy, I got it from Harry, would you like to try it?"
Sean had also tried candies and snacks from the wizarding world. There were some that he liked very much, but there were some that he didn't like very much, such as the Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans that Dumbledore handed over at this moment. Sean really didn't like it, that could lead to unexpected tastes.
But when Dumbledore handed him the snacks, Sean felt that he should still give the headmaster some face.
This is not being cowardly, it's simply respecting the elderly.
Sean pinched a multi-flavored bean and put it in his mouth. He frowned slightly and bit the bean. A fresh peach aroma instantly filled Sean's mouth. In contrast to Sean, Dumbledore's expectant expression became indescribable.
"Well, it looks like you got a good taste, Sean."
"Peach flavor."
"Oh, that's lucky. I'm really unlucky. What I just ate tasted like stinky socks. Hmm, it was really disgusting."
Seeing that Dumbledore still wanted to continue sharing the idea of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans with Sean, Snape said impatiently: "Dumbledore, Sean needs more rest. If you have anything to say, please tell me as soon as possible."
Dumbledore didn't care about Snape's words. He just nodded, put away the beans in his hand, showed his standard gentle and benevolent smile, and said, "Sean, would you like to tell us about what happened last night?"
Of course Sean would not hide what happened last night, he couldn't hide it, so apart from briefly describing the detailed fighting method, he told Dumbledore everything else.
As a master of Legilimency, Dumbledore could sense whether the other party was telling him the truth without using magic. Sean was prepared for this. Most of the things he said were fine, and the few that were problematic were only about his own abilities. Sean covered this part and Dumbledore did not ask any further questions.
After asking, Dumbledore nodded slowly and said, "Thank you very much for telling us the truth, Sean. You have helped us a lot."
Listening to Dumbledore's words, Sean nodded, and then asked knowingly: "Professor, the one I met last night, the face that was stuck on the back of Professor Quirrell's head, was it really Vol… You-Know-Who?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, yes, it's him!" Dumbledore's face became more serious, and he nodded and said to Sean seriously: "Speaking of this, Sean, I have something to ask of you. I hope you can help keep this matter secret, no matter who it is. Do you understand me?"
Sean looked at Dumbledore, vaguely realizing what Dumbledore meant, and said, "Can't my family members know either?"
"Sean, you have to understand that keeping secrets is not about hiding or deceiving, but about protecting them."
Looking at the serious Dumbledore,he nodded and said, "Okay, I will keep it a secret, Professor."
"Thank you for your understanding and help, Sean." Dumbledore smiled, adjusted his sitting posture, and continued, "There is one more thing I have to remind you of. That pocket watch you carry is indeed a very good magical item, but it has a very big disadvantage. It is not secretive enough.
Although I don't know when it fell into the collection of the Bulstrode family, in the wizarding world, among some older wizards or families with a long history, that pocket watch is a very famous magic item, so many wizards or families know how to deal with this magic item."
