[ Chapter XC (90): "HOW CAN A MERE SUM OF GOLD DISTURB MY HEART?" ]

Chapter 90: How can a mere sum of gold disturb my heart?

.....

At the command, the young wizards dispersed and practiced with their companions.

Harry was embarrassed to find that he was left behind and no one was willing to team up with him.

"Sorry, buddy," Ron apologized, "You are too strong, I don't want to make trouble for myself."

"Harry," Hermione was also a little embarrassed, "Seriously, do you want to consider teaming up with second-year or third-year students?"

Team up with senior students?

Harry was a little hesitant. He looked around and found that everyone had basically formed a team.

He originally wanted to find Neville, but found that he had already formed a team with Seamus.

"Bang!"

Harry's eyes flashed and he was shocked.

He looked closely and found that Seamus's spell exploded again, his whole face was black, and his hair turned into an afro.

The young wizards around were also shocked. After figuring out what was going on, they all laughed.

Sebastian came over after hearing the sound, and after confirming that Seamus was fine, he asked them to continue practicing.

Then, he found Harry who was alone. After finding out the reason, Sebastian looked around and found Malfoy who was also alone in Slytherin.

What a coincidence!

Just arrange these two together.

In the first grade, these two little guys are the closest in strength.

Sebastian walked towards Malfoy and whispered a few words in his ear.

After obtaining Malfoy's consent, Sebastian took him to Harry and formed a team with them. As

soon as Sebastian left, Malfoy smiled with a crooked mouth, and his eyes flashed with provocation.

"Potter, others are afraid of you, but I am not! I was careless yesterday, and I will not give you any chance today, come on!"

...

In the hall, the little wizards were in pairs, and they were training duels with high spirits.

Fred and George, the twins who always love to make trouble, were not as naughty as before. They stood opposite each other, practicing spells attentively, and every action was full of rigor and seriousness.

Percy was beside Penelope, carefully adjusting her posture. His expression was focused and gentle, as if he was viewing a fine work of art.

Marcus lay stiffly on the mat, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, patiently waiting for his companions to come and help him remove the spell.

As time went on, the auditorium became more and more crowded and chaotic, and from time to time, young wizards were accidentally injured by the spells of other groups.

Every corner was crowded with people, and the flying spells flashed dazzlingly. The shouts of the students and the collision of the spells were intertwined, which made Sebastian a little overwhelmed.

Sebastian also noticed that several groups of students had to practice in a small area due to lack of space.

Seeing this scene, Sebastian frowned.

This won't work. The space in the auditorium is still too small.

We must think of a better way!

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and an idea came to his mind.

Why not build a special duel arena?

A duel arena with complete facilities and spacious space!

In this way, it can not only solve the problems of crowding and chaos, but also provide better training conditions for young wizards.

The young wizards can practice spells in this venue at any time.

If necessary, they can also hold duels in it.

Sebastian immediately called the professors together and explained his idea to them in detail.

"Great, Sebastian," Professor Flitwick praised the idea, "In this way, the young wizards will have a professional venue to practice spells." Professor McGonagall

looked at Sebastian with appreciation: "The venue can be chosen in the open space next to the Quidditch field. There is enough space there."

"Well, you guys watch here first," Professor McGonagall turned and walked out of the hall, "I'll go to Dumbledore now to settle the matter."

"Great, great!" After seeing Sebastian's eyes, Lockhart showed a flattering smile, "I will donate 10,000 gold galleons in my personal name!"

Snape looked at Sebastian and said coldly: "If you need help, please feel free to ask."

Professor McGonagall acted very quickly, and she returned to the hall in a short while.

She handed a small cloth bag to Sebastian and said to him affectionately.

"Dumbledore said that he believes in you and asked you to do it!"

...

At night, Swan Manor.

Sebastian sat on the sofa, staring at the red gem on the table quietly, looking thoughtful.

At this time, the bathroom door opened gently, and Mia came out in pajamas with wet hair.

She raised her wand and waved it gently, and her hair instantly became dry and smooth, exuding a faint fragrance.

Mia sat next to Sebastian, and her eyes were quickly attracted by the gem on the table.

"Sebastian, what kind of stone is this? So beautiful!" She couldn't help asking.

Sebastian smiled slightly, gently hugged her and let her lean on his shoulder.

"This is the Philosopher's Stone, dear." He whispered, with a hint of mystery in his voice.

Mia's eyes widened, her face full of shock: "Sorcerer's Stone? The one that Nicolas Flamel had?"

"Didn't you say it was in Dumbledore's hands?"

"Dumbledore actually trusted you so much that he asked you to take it out of Hogwarts?!"

Sebastian nodded, looking at the Sorcerer's Stone on the table, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

After getting the cloth bag that Professor McGonagall handed him, he just put it in his traceless stretch bag and continued to instruct his students.

To be honest, he never thought that there was a Sorcerer's Stone in the cloth bag.

Why was Dumbledore so generous all of a sudden?

The Sorcerer's Stone that he hadn't even been allowed to look at before was now handed directly to him!

I thought I had to pay for the construction of the duel arena myself.

Sebastian was a little dazed, he couldn't tell what Dumbledore was thinking.

You know, this stone contains infinite temptations, anyone who gets it may fall into endless greed.

Is this trust?

Or a test?

If it is a test, the cost is a bit high!

Sebastian hesitated for a moment, and then became very proud.

Trust or test, since Dumbledore handed the Philosopher's Stone to him, he couldn't do anything shameful.

Haha, a mere gold, how can it mess up my heart!

I want to let Dumbledore see what a real Slytherin is like.

This Philosopher's Stone will never be abused!

Thinking of this, Sebastian gently stroked Mia's hair, with a firm look, slowly told Mia what he thought in his heart.

Mia raised her head, her eyes fixed on Sebastian's face.

There was a gleam of admiration in her eyes, this man was the hero in her heart.

As if feeling the love in Mia's eyes, Sebastian picked her up and walked towards the bedroom. The Philosopher's Stone

lay quietly on the table, like an inconspicuous piece of stone
