Chapter 343: 'A Girl and Time”

Chapter 343: “A Girl and Time”

Sean didn’t wake up his roommate. He put on his clothes and walked towards the common room. The first thing he met was a petite silver-haired girl.

It was Stephanie, who is now in fifth grade.

She was different from the cold character he knew in the past, she was wearing thick bear pajamas, and her bright silver waist-length hair was lightly tied into a ponytail. However, it’s not just she’s different in terms of looks; her face also carries fear and shock that doesn’t fit her cute image.

The grievances between the two have disappeared now. Sean disliked Stephanie, who approached him with unknown intentions initially, and the gift she gave him was used to monitor him, making him very unhappy.

However, Stephanie is helping Grindelwald, and she is now the only known direct student of Grindelwald. With the continuous occurrence of major incidents later, Sean’s dislike for Stephanie was nothing.

He needs to treat her like an ordinary student. Sean waved his hands casually and walked straight toward the common room. He was going to ask the professors about the situation.

Originally, Stephanie pursed when she saw Sean. However, she saw that the boy who used to dismiss her waved at her with a normal expression. She turned her head quickly to ensure she was the only one around.

Under Stephanie’s gold-rimmed glasses, her pale blue eyes became as black as a starry night. She took off her glasses, and the struggle in her eyes gradually turned into firmness. On the other side, Sean was about to walk out of the common room, but his forward steps were interrupted by a voice.

“Sea...Mr. Wallup, you’re talking to me?”

Sean looked back and saw Stephanie talking to herself, but her usual unapproachable expression had disappeared. Although there is still no fluctuation in her expression, the voice can be heard. She was a little embarrassed and a little scared.

Sean paused and shrugged, “Yeah, as you can tell. But I’m in a hurry. I’m going to find the professor.”

Stephanie squeezed her hands hidden under her sleeves tightly, and her tone was even a little cheerful, “Soon. Your doubts will be answered...”This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

Stephanie replied, and then, as if she was worried that Sean would repent, she walked over quickly. With a flash of her bright silver low ponytail, she quickly walked up to Sean and looked up at him.

Her behavior hasn’t changed at all.

When he first entered Hogwarts, she was a little shorter than Sean. More than two years later, Stephanie was almost half a head shorter than Sean. Sean took half a step back.

Just a sign that she doesn’t get so close.

Stephanie bit her lip slightly, but she passed Sean and walked to the largest stone wall in the common room. There is the wall where the passageway is located. There is nothing but some potted plants and hanging paintings.

Stephanie walked up to the stone wall, closed her eyes, and started walking back and forth. This action made Sean’s eyes tremble. You should do this when you want to enter the Room of Requirements.

In the Ravenclaw common room, the only stone wall crawled up, and a wooden door appeared on the wall.

“So it’s you...” Sean narrowed his eyes.

Stephanie turned her head to look at him, then nodded slightly, “It’s me. You should have gone to Helena.”

As if she was worried about something, she added, “I didn’t follow you, but you know that there is someone who is one step ahead of you. Only Helena knows about this.”

Sean showed a rather strange expression. He didn’t expect that the person who entered the Ravenclaw chamber first was Stephanie.

And yesterday, Helena said someone would meet him and give him something in person.

What would Stephanie want to do toward him? This made Sean a little confused.

There is no conflict of interest between the two and no deep hatred. It’s just that Sean simply didn’t like people who approached him with different, unknown intentions from the beginning. Apart from helping Grindelwald monitor him back then, Stephanie did nothing to hurt him.

Stephanie looked at Sean, who was frowning and thinking. She tilted her head and said nothing but showed a relaxed look on her face.

After a long time, Sean raised his head, “Any more information?”

Stephanie buried her head to hide the excitement in her eyes and said softly, “There are two pieces of news. First, there is no Time-Turner at the Ministry of Magic.”

“No more?” Sean asked suspiciously.

“Yes, that’s why I was able to ask about the time travel accident files. I don’t know when, but all the Time-Turners in the Ministry of Magic have been destroyed, and the Department of Mysteries doesn’t keep these top-secret files like before.” Stephanie said.

Sean thought of the previous conversation with Percy.

“Not even one?”

“At least in the Ministry of Magic, there is none left. As far as I know, every Time Turner will be registered by the Ministry of Magic, whether borrowed or worn out, etc. Everything is well documented.”

Sean thought of the person who traveled long distances in time; maybe it was related to that person.

Stephanie went on to talk about the second news, “I suspect that this matter may have something to do with Professor Dumbledore.”

“Professor Dumbledore? Why do you say that?”

Stephanie’s eyes showed a trace of struggle; her relaxed expression had just now disappeared, and her lips were already pursed. Doubt appeared in Sean’s eyes.

The room was silent again, but this time the atmosphere was much more calm. Finally, Stephanie took a deep breath as if she had made a major decision.

She didn’t mention Dumbledore but instead talked about the ‘betrayal’ they had never mentioned.

“I have always wanted to apologize for that incident before, but I don’t know how to say it, and...” Stephanie gritted her teeth and said out loud, “That day, when you entered Ravenclaw’s Chamber. I knew that it was you because I was there.”

As she spoke, she even struggled to stand up from the beanbag.

“I didn’t mean to follow you. I was just curious about who entered Ravenclaw’s Chamber and accidentally saw you. I don’t know how to show up and tell you this, so I’ve been hiding in the Rooms lately.”

Her voice gradually dropped, and she didn’t even dare to look up at Sean.

People with access to the Room can indeed know that someone has entered the Chambers.

Sean’s eyes narrowed slightly.

In the first grade, he came out to find the Room of Requirement in the middle of the night and hid in the Vanishing Cabinet because he heard footsteps outside the house, so he met Grindelwald.

At that time, Filch and Mrs. Norris were also looking for someone who came out to hang out in the middle of the night.

Normally, when there are people in the room unless their needs are exactly the same, the room will not open the door to the second person. Those who have authority or access can come in and out freely. Does that mean that the first time he met Grindelwald may not have been an accident?

Sean looked up at Stephanie.

Stephanie pinched the hem of her pajamas. Her hands trembled slightly, and she took a breath and shouted directly.

“I know what you think, and I know I have no grudges against you. The monocle is indeed used to monitor you. I am Professor Grindelwald’s spy at Hogwarts. Except for that monocle, I didn’t do anything else. And...”
