Chapter 350: 'Happy Birthday”

Chapter 350: “Happy Birthday”

“When will this end?” Students were piled up in small groups in the corridor, and Harry looked out at the garden.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.

Harry had been in a low mood because of the damage to the Invisibility Cloak. Daisy said that her brother was so depressed because he couldn’t play Quidditch.

The Ministry of Magic’s ban is still going on, and students without outdoor activities are like flowers and plants without water, especially Quidditch fans. He heard that Wood, the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, has begun to suffer from insomnia. He needs to hold the Quaffle to fall asleep peacefully.

Although Sean has always had little interest in Quidditch, this does not prevent him from expressing sympathy for his friends.

“Bear with me, it won’t last long.”

Hermione was still flipping through the books Sean brought, and casually comforted, “We’re way more relaxed here, I heard that the outside is more strict. Whether it is other magic schools or gathering places. Tom’s Leaky Cauldron business has plummeted, and Aurors and Guards are patrolling Diagon Alley daily. Last time Hagrid got a warrant to go to Diagon Alley to buy supplies, he was inspected three times in half an hour.”

Harry drooped his head, “The main reason is that it’s too depressing. Recently, the time has always been chaotic. Sometimes, I worry that I will suddenly be a year older when I wake up.”

“This situation is weird. It is unimaginable for the world to be in this situation. However, Sean is now one year older. Happy birthday.” Hermione closed the book.

Today is Sean’s birthday.

Sean smiled, “Thank you, Hermione. However, birthdays happen yearly, so I don’t care about that.”

“Fred and George said there was going to be a birthday party for you.”

“Those two just wanted to take the opportunity to have fun, but I have no objection. It’s a good thing to have some fun for everyone.”

Daisy said next to him, “It would be nice if you had thirty or forty hours; your birthday is going to last a long time.”

“It does sound good.”

Several of them were talking, but Sean suddenly felt his magic power fluctuate. That’s the Golden Dawn mark he left in Nurmengard. There was a message from Lupine.

After talking to a few people, Sean quickly left and entered the Room of Requirement. He saw a note after using the Vanishing Cabinet to move to Nurmengard.

“There’s something big going on. Let’s talk about it—Remus Lupin.”

Sean didn’t hesitate. He grabbed a handful of Floo powder and stepped into the fireplace.

Five minutes later.

“Look at this.” In the private room, Lupin handed over a newspaper.

Sean took the newspaper and saw the black-and-white photo at a glance. On it, several wizards in the Guards’ uniform were casting spells at another wizard.

That’s Newt Scamander.

Sean frowned and looked down.

“Just yesterday, this newspaper received information that Mr. Newt Scamander, a well-known magizoologist in the wizarding world and professor of the care of magical animals at Hogwarts, was attacked by the Guards when they were having a meeting with friends.”

“All kinds of facts have shown that the Guards wanted to kill one of the witnesses of the Paris at that time, and the root of all these actions pointed to the former Nurmengard headmaster, Grindelwald, who was wanted by all countries.”

“As we all know, about half a year ago, the Guards dispatched a large number of personnel to try to arrest Grindelwald, and Newt Scamander acted as a witness to crimes committed by him decades ago.”

“At that time, everyone thought that this matter was correct and just. But it didn’t take long for a series of scandals about the Guards to break out, and all kinds of evidence point to the Guards trying to frame Grindelwald.”

“However, one cannot make a decision without Mr Scamander’s testimony being changed or retracted.”

“However, just a while ago, we learned that Mr. Scamander had been threatened secretly.”

“It’s okay. Many people remember it. This is from me, this is from Lily and James’s, this is from Sirius’s, this is...” Lupin carefully placed gift boxes of different sizes in front of Sean. In the end, he took out three boxes.

In the center is a huge transparent box. He can see that it is a birthday cake, and the words “Happy Birthday Sean” are written. Next to it is an exquisitely packaged gift box with a letter pinned to it. On the top is a handmade box with loose wrapping paper; a few big and small faces were painted on it, all of which are Sean’s face.

“Your parents asked me to send a gift, this is from your sister. She missed you very much. That cake is big, and there is ice cream in it; I used a Freezing Charm, worried that it would melt and appear well preserved.”

A warm current rose in Sean’s heart. He shook his head with a smile and hugged Lupin.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome and happy birthday.”

Sean and his friends shared their own birthday cake that night, and his parents apparently thought about it, ordering enough for many to share.

Fred fussed and yelled, “How did you get such a delicious cake?!” and fought with George, where Ron and Neville argued about “Muggle world cake sprinkled with a little honey destroys the taste,” and Daisy indulged in the cream.

Sean received a bunch of gifts, and Hermione laughed and said, “They didn’t even ask you to make a wish!”

Sean smiled and looked up: “I don’t have any wishes. It’s alright.”

The happy birthday party lasted for a long time, and finally, Sean found an excuse and walked out. Pushing open the wooden door of the Room of Requirement, Stephanie was sitting quietly in that small room that belonged to her.

Seeing Sean approaching, she stood up and handed over a manuscript.

“Happy birthday to you.” Stephanie’s voice was not so cold but soft, like a comfortable breeze at night.

“Thank you, but why don’t you come with us?” Sean accepted her gift.

Stephanie shook her head, “Thank you for the invitation, but I don’t have to. I didn’t prepare a gift, this is just Ravenclaw’s manuscript, I just found it for you.”

Sean opened the manuscript and smiled, “Can Ravenclaw’s manuscript be translated into English like this?”

Stephanie’s face turned red, and she whispered, “It’s just some trivial notes.”

Just flipping through two pages casually, Sean knew that Stephanie should have written this manuscript for a long time. The content in it is detailed and comprehensive.

“Thank you. I bet you would be a good teacher in the future.” Sean praised sincerely.

Stephanie lowered her head, and there was a flash of joy in her eyes. She shook her head, “I just like reading.”

“I can see that.”

Stephanie looked up in surprise. She saw Sean take out an exquisite gift box.

“You have the same birthday as me, right?” She heard Sean’s voice.

She raised her hand slightly, she was a little surprised and hesitant, and finally accepted the gift under Sean’s urging.

“Thank you...” The joy in Stephanie’s voice was hard to hide.

She saw Sean conjuring out a miniature cake with a candle stuck in it.

“I must admit, this

is a birthday cake I just made. I hope you like it,” Sean flicked his fingers, and the flame danced happily.

“Make a wish.” Sean laughed.

Stephanie’s heart was blank.
