Hogwarts Study Panel

Chapter 442, Section 440: RAB
Sheen retrieved something from the deepest part of the Wizard's Book.

A locket.

He turned the locket over.

Compared to the one he saw in the Pensieve, this one was neither as large, nor did it have the intricate markings or the ornate "S" sign that was characteristic of Slytherin.

Besides a folded piece of parchment tightly stuffed inside where the portrait was placed, there was nothing else inside.

Sheen looked up and saw that he was the only one left in the corridor.

The moonlight made the place feel chilly; it rarely rained on a spring night like this.

Water droplets fell onto the window, dripping and splashing white foam.

Sheen took out the parchment, and using the light from his wand, opened it to read:

"To the Dark Lord:
I know that by the time you read this letter, I will be dead. But I want you to know: I discovered your secret, I have taken the real Horcrux, and I will destroy it as soon as possible.

I'm willing to risk my life so that when you encounter an opponent...

It can be killed.

——RAB”

He may have been the first wizard to discover the existence of Voldemort's Horcruxes, and perhaps also the first to prepare to destroy them.

Bathed in moonlight, Sheen casually placed the locket on the table of the Wizard's Book, and carefully preserved the note and the ancient coffin.

Soon, Sirius will escape from prison, and Harry's magic mirror will help Sheen find Sirius as soon as possible.

Before that, he still had many things to do.

For example, dealing with a mouse.

The sky darkened, and everything outside the window was pitch black, making the night seem longer.

Sheen heard the sound of himself walking down the corridor, and the hooting of owls on the top of Hogwarts Tower.

He wasn't the first wizard to hear this voice, nor would he be the last.

……

"Sheen, are you there?"

In the quiet Ravenclaw Tower, a very faint voice rang out.

The sound was processed with special magic, and only the wizard holding another magical hand mirror could hear it.

"Harry?"

Sheen didn't seem confused.

"Merlin—it's true, you've created a telephone, a magical telephone—"

Harry's calls came from the other side in broken, forcibly hushed tones.

"Yes, Harry, please let me know if anything happens to you."

Sheen answered patiently.

“Special circumstances… I understand, Sheen. But…”

Harry asked in a low voice,
Are Justin and Professor McGonagall real?

Sheen looked down, and in the magic mirror, there was a Professor McGonagall who looked much smaller.

She had a stern face, but because she was cartoon-sized, she looked quite well-behaved and funny.

"not real."

Sheen was somewhat at a loss.

When he was making the first Magic Hand Mirror, he casually designed Hermione's image—that is, Littlegrass—and now it seems he forgot to remove it.

Next to Little McGonagall was a friendly badger, a chubby Neville, Ron with two chicken legs stuffed in his mouth, and a smaller version of Harry.

However, these won't appear on Harry's mirror; they will only appear after Sheen has given out all the Easter presents.

It currently only includes Sheen, Hermione, Justin, and Harry.

"I thought……"

Harry was a little embarrassed.
"Then who is she?"

Harlin asked again.

"It's Hermione."

Sheen did not hide anything.

"Hmm, hmm... Heh heh..."

Suppressed laughter came from the other end of the mirror. By the time Harry was laughing so hard he was crying, Sheen had already hung up the "phone."

"Oh!"

Harry let out a frustrated sigh.

After waiting for a while, he excitedly called out to Xiaomaig.

"Sheen?"

Hermione's voice sounded somewhat surprised.

“It’s me, Harry.”

Harry said.

"Harry, don't bother me at this time, I'm busy."

Hermione promptly died.

A short while later, Hermione called again:

"Harry, you received it too?"

Hermione asked with delight.

"Of course, but I'm not busy... You can call me dozens of times..."

Harry said.

"Harry——"

Harry guessed Hermione was probably stomping her feet.

That night, Harry's mind was completely captivated by the Magic Hand Mirror.

Their long-held dream has come true! For some time now, their biggest problem has been finding Sheen, but now they can communicate quickly.

Harry felt that the safety of Hogwarts Castle had improved again, and he slept exceptionally well that day.

He didn't even notice the noise Ron's rats were making.

……

Easter has finally arrived.

Exchanging Easter eggs is what the young wizards do most often.

Sheen prepared Easter eggs for everyone in the cabin, most of which contained a magic hand mirror and an instruction manual from Professor Terra's workshop.

Occasionally, a few special items, such as the books "Ancient Herbs" and "Miracle Liquid" given to Professor Snape, were found by Sheen in Ravenclaw's office.

Sheen selected the useful parts from memory and, with Raven's consent, compiled them into a booklet.

Finally, with the shrinking spell applied, these books were placed in the Easter egg. When they are opened and touched, their normal size might fill an entire room.

Professor Snape is an absolute Potions Master. The difference between him and Sheen is probably ninety-nine Sheen's. These books would be much more useful to the professor than to him.

In the Easter egg for Professor McGonagall, Sheen included his own creations of Transfiguration magic notes, such as "Fluttering Dragon Wings" and "Guardian of the Vine Stone".

Although these Transfiguration spells are based on Sheen's personal knowledge system, and Raven even commented that perhaps only he could do them, they still provide a new approach to the magical branch of Transfiguration.

On Easter Sunday, Snape was invited into the headmaster's office as usual.

—Dumbledore always liked to invite people in for tea at this time.

The principal's office was filled with gifts, almost reaching the ceiling.

Dumbledore leisurely sipped his black tea and unwrapped his gifts.

With a flick of his finger, the Easter eggs broke open on their own, revealing what was inside.

Snape threw his share into the pile of gifts, and Dumbledore pretended to be surprised and exchanged the Easter egg with him.

Snape gave a mocking smile, then coldly took the Easter egg and turned to leave.

He didn't care about the gifts; he was more annoyed by the disgusting, ostentatious faces.

In the cellar.

The Potions Department office contains a few Easter eggs.

The door was pushed open with a bang, and Snape swept into the office like a dark cloud.

He glanced at the table instinctively, waved his wand, and a special Easter egg appeared in his hand.

The tiny books inside had magically filled the entire office the moment his finger touched them.

Snape's face was poked by a book, and he growled through gritted teeth, a mixture of anger and helplessness in his voice:
"Sheen Green!"
