Chapter 75: Leaving School Day

The Slytherin Brotherhood's reserve student organisation had made an exception to accept the first-year Sean for several reasons. Firstly, they valued his own ability and influence. Secondly, it was to thank him, as he had genuinely done them a great service. And thirdly, they valued the influence of the Bulstrode family.

These students were also well aware of the previous matter between Sean and Malfoy. It was true that Gavin had come to Hogwarts for this and eliminated the impact of the event. They discovered that Sean's position in the Bulstrode family was completely different from what they had imagined. However, if it were just this, it would not have been enough to make them feel that Sean's status was particularly important.

It wasn't until a seventh-year student, returning from an outing and passing through Hogsmeade, coincidentally met Gavin and the Milne father and son that things changed. Connecting this to the previous Pure-Blood Duel between Jensen and Sean, they naturally had some guesses in their minds and became increasingly impressed with him.

As for investing, as long as there is a possibility of profit, it is worth doing.

Sean was well aware of their thoughts, but he also needed to use this organisation as a stepping stone. Sean's plan was to use it as a foothold, a way to gradually tap into the influential network of the Slytherin Brotherhood. These connections, he knew, would be invaluable tools, not just at Hogwarts, but later, when he began to build his own empire in the world outside. He was happy to join them.

After a brief welcome ceremony, everyone chatted for a while and had some drinks before leaving one after another. Tomorrow was the day to leave school, so it was better to go to bed a little earlier.

Sean and Samuel walked at the back, watching the seventh-year and sixth-year members leave first. Samuel said to Sean, "Sean, after the next school year starts, the seventh years will officially graduate, and the sixth years will move up to seventh grade. They will need to put more energy into their N.E.W.T. exams. At that time, we will need to work together to keep things running smoothly here."

Hearing this, Sean immediately knew that Samuel was reminding him of his new responsibilities. He smiled, looked at Samuel, and nodded, saying, "I just joined, and next year I will only be in my second year. I also have to worry about studying for the Potions Club and other things. If any decisions need to be made, I will rely on you seniors to help me. With your guidance, I won't make mistakes in some matters."

Irina looked at Sean, her eyes curving into two crescents. She said happily and seriously, "Don't worry, Samuel and I still have two years at Hogwarts. During this time, we will help you as much as possible."

When intelligent people talk, there is no need to be too explicit.

In their seemingly polite words, the three of them had already completed the discussion on their cooperation for the next two years.

Simply put, Sean would unconditionally stand with Samuel and Irina, ensuring they could wield three votes in the organisation. In return, Samuel and Irina would help Sean as much as possible, including paving the way for him to gain more influence within the group, which would also benefit them in the long run.

This reserve student organisation, while seemingly informal, could decide many things. The selection of prefects each year, for example, needed to be witnessed by this organisation before competitions were held and the final list was handed to Snape.

Returning to his room, Sean first spoke with Blaise, arranging contact information for the holidays, and then prepared to wash up and go to sleep.

Before going to sleep, Sean checked on Kulkan and confirmed there were no issues, letting the snake sleep in her nest. It was already June, but Kulkan was still quite lethargic. Fortunately, this sleepiness wasn't the kind that lasted all day and night. Every day, Kulkan would wake up for a while, eat and drink, cling to Sean for affection, and enjoy being petted.

Early the next morning, Sean was awakened by the rustling sounds outside.

On the day of leaving school, everyone was more or less excited. On weekdays, they wished they could stay in bed forever, but today they woke up very early instead.

"Sigh…"

Unable to sleep, Sean simply got up and packed his things.

Just like when they had arrived, the packed belongings would be handled by the Hogwarts house-elves. After packing his things, Sean let the now-awake Kulkan crawl into his arms along his sleeve. Only then did he open the door and find Blaise, and the two of them went to the Great Hall for breakfast together.

"Sean, are you going to Beauxbatons immediately after we get back?"

Sean didn't hide anything about his plan to go to Beauxbatons.

Hearing Blaise's words, he immediately nodded and said, "Later, I'll take the Hogwarts Express to Platform 9¾, and then I'll find the person my Grandfather arranged and go to Beauxbatons in France together."

"Then, can you speak French?"

Hearing this, Sean was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "I actually don't speak French, but since my grandfather arranged for me to go, there must be a way, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't be going to Beauxbatons just to learn French, would I?"

Speaking of this, Sean vaguely remembered that Lucius Malfoy had seemed to want to send that good-for-nothing Draco to Durmstrang Institute. In the magical world of Northern Europe, the official language also didn't seem to be English. Sean didn't believe Malfoy had known the language there since he was a child. He felt there must be a way to solve the language problem, allowing a wizard to quickly integrate into the local area and slowly learn the language without it affecting their normal life.

After breakfast, it was time to leave school. The young wizards successively took Thestral-drawn carriages to leave Hogwarts Castle, arrived at Hogsmeade Station, and boarded the Hogwarts Express one by one.

The train started, and a group of young wizards embarked on their journey home.

When the Hogwarts Express stopped, Sean closed his grandfather's notes, got off the train with Blaise, and immediately saw Blaise's mother, Mrs. Zabini, approaching with some people.

"You must be Sean, right?"

Sean looked at the woman before him, who was still full of charm and exuded a mature woman's elegance. He opened his arms to accept her hug and then said, "Hello, Mrs. Zabini. I am Sean."

"Thank you for taking care of Blaise at school. If you have time during the holidays, you must remember to come to my house to visit."

"Okay, if I have time, I definitely will."

Blaise left with his mother. Sean stood there for a while, then saw a man around thirty years old, wearing black-rimmed glasses and meticulously dressed from head to toe, walking towards him with Jensen. Seeing them, Sean knew that they were the ones taking him to Beauxbatons this time.
