Chapter 347: 'How Long Has It Been?”

Chapter 347: “How Long Has It Been?”

Stephanie hesitated for a moment, then finally held up the mirror. This is a magic item that Grindelwald gave her to contact him.

“Reporting, sir.” Stephanie said to the mirror.

However, after waiting for a long time, Grindelwald did not respond. Stephanie can only give up, and this is not the first time she has been unable to contact him.

At this time, Sean had already walked out of the Room of Requirement in a place where no one was around. Many students in the castle had already noticed something was wrong, and they were making noise everywhere.

Sean approached the professor and finally got the same answer as Stephanie told herself. Time on the twenty-seventh of October had indeed disappeared.

Sean made a side note, wanting to see if the professors would better understand the Time Turner. However, even Professor Flitwick doesn’t seem to understand it. This also confirms Stephanie’s statement that the Time Turner was destroyed long ago.

Sean walked out of the common room and walked into a narrow side corridor to the Ravenclaw tower. With the authority of the Room of Requirement, he no longer has to worry about getting lost at Hogwarts.

Sean bowed his head in thought. He was thinking about the instigator of this accident. Is it Dumbledore, Grindelwald? Or is it some other third party?

What did that person change when he went back to the past? Who was the person who modified Stephanie’s memory?

Sean didn’t pay attention to his front and accidentally bumped into a student.

“Sorry, I didn’t pay attention to the road. Are you okay?” Sean quickly apologized.

He looked at the student he’d bumped into, a sixth-year Slytherin student.

He looked weird. At this moment, he just patted himself on the shoulder, hit by Sean in annoyance, and said coldly, “Watch the road carefully.”

It was still dark at the moment, and the light from the torches in the corridor was not too bright. When they intersected, Sean only saw a cold and arrogant face.

Sean complained helplessly in his heart. Under Sean’s series of plans and Draco’s lead, the relationship between Slytherin and other houses has eased a lot.

According to the plans given by Sean, Draco would tell stories to everyone in the Slytherin common room after class every day. The topics were nothing more than the true glory of pure blood, the true cultivation of Slytherins, and so on.

There are a lot of brainwashing stories, and Sean often helps Draco make some stories about certain ghosts. He lets the Basilisk hide to cooperate with the story. The attitude of the Slytherins is also slowly changing.

Under Draco’s stories, most Slytherins began to think that discriminating against their classmates was very bad. Real Slytherins have bigger and nobler things to do, even though they haven’t found their own yet.

However, this is a good thing for easing the atmosphere at Hogwarts. Sean subconsciously looked back at the Slytherin just now, but his brows frowned.

He was walking on a small path where it was easy to get lost by the stairs. The direction of that person is not the Slytherin common room, and there is no class now. If he wants to go to the library, taking the stairs from the hall is closer. There is no need to turn around from the corridor here.

Although the Slytherins are prideful, they don’t act alone. They prefer to get together and let their side always maintain the superiority in numbers.

At most, Sean would be curious and not care about it anymore. After all, everyone has their own secrets, and he should not monitor others.

But it happened that a time travel accident happened. Sean’s mind was more sensitive than before and suspicious of all abnormal things. Sean pondered for a while and decided to catch up and have a look.

Walking to a corner where no one was around, the stone wall squirmed to Sean’s will, and the Room of Requirement was opened again. However, Sean walked into the storage room instead of entering a specific room.

He walked into the stone walls of Hogwarts, and everything outside the walls was completely displayed in front of him. He was walking in an empty corridor that no one could see. This is also one of the authorities the Room of Requirement gave to Sean.

Sean trotted a few steps and caught up with the Slytherin student who was on the stairs. His eyes were indifferent, his expression was calm, and his steps were extremely fast.

Sean hid in the stone wall, watching him go up several flights of stairs without stopping. Moreover, Sean also noticed that although he looked calm, he had been deliberately avoiding places where students would be seen.

He didn’t want anyone to know where he was going.

Seeing his appearance, Sean became more determined that something was wrong with this guy.

“Forgive me that is already old and aged, but I mean that.”

Sean replied sullenly, “I don’t think you are.”

Dumbledore sighed, “Sean, I can’t even describe the whole thing to you, and I hesitated for a long time before doing anything. I shouldn’t even communicate with you.”

“However, I think I should tell you that I’m not trying to reassure you, but as an old man with no skills who wants to continue to win the trust of his students.”

“Sean, do you trust me?”

Sean fell silent, and the atmosphere in the corridor was silent. The gargoyle moved its position secretly as if it wanted to keep itself away from here.

Sean glanced at the gargoyle, who turned his head as if he didn’t exist and said in a deep voice, “Professor Dumbledore, I chose to come out instead of taking care of that Slytherin student. This has already proved my trust in you.”

Dumbledore was stunned, “I’m shocked. Thank you very much for your trust, Sean.”

After saying this, he blinked at Sean, still like the wise and humorous old man before, and then returned to the office.

“Professor,” Sean called to stop him, “About Grindelwald...”

This name made Dumbledore stop in place, and finally, he turned his head, but Sean found that his eyes were sad.

“I wish I could go back to that time...” He sighed, “By the way, Sean, don’t go looking for the Slytherin students just now. It won’t do you any good.”

The gargoyle jumped back and blocked the entrance to the principal’s office again.

“Goodbye, Sean.”

The corridor became empty again, leaving only Sean.

That night in Paris, he had already confirmed that these two old men were obviously acting.

Why Dumbledore looked so sad?

The short conversation with Dumbledore made Sean more curious than ever. Sean stood alone in the corridor for a long time, with various thoughts flashing through his mind until the sunlight fell in front of Sean’s eyes through the gap in the curtain.

Sean was silent for a long time.

“Can those two old men speak human language? This is a matter of life and death; it won’t help anyone when they speak like that. Ugh, I have to study every day, and finally control the thing in my body, and put all of you guys down.” He cursed.

In the end, Sean left distraught.

He intends to find Hermione and Daisy. He needs something nice to lighten his mood. However, Sean saw the two girls not long after, but Harry and the others also followed behind them in a panic.

Seeing Sean, Hermione’s eyes lit up, “You are here! Sean, what’s going on with you?”

She noticed the expression on Sean’s face.

“It’s alright.” Sean waved his hands lazily and looked at Harry, “What’s the matter? Are you looking for me?”

Harry rushed up, holding something invisible in his hands.

“Sean!”

“What’s wrong?” Sean looked down at the other’s empty hands.

Harry gulped, “The invisibility cloak... is broken...”
