Chapter 53: Oh no, Professor, Fred has been captured
Lockhart is indeed a talented person. Driven by fame and fortune, he exudes unparalleled passion for work.
In order to compete with the Daily Prophet, he not only opened morning news but also evening news.
In just a dozen days, they imitated the TV channels in the Muggle world and launched a number of exciting magic TV programs.
Lockhart's efficiency was so high that Sebastian was amazed. He even suspected that Lockhart used a time turner.
At the same time, in order to actively cooperate with the Ministry of Magic and get on board with it, Lockhart set up a separate channel for the Ministry of Magic to publicize its work.
Faced with this achievement that came right to his doorstep, Minister of Magic Fudge was so delighted that he personally stepped out to publicize it.
In this way, driven by a variety of interesting programs, Swan Media became completely popular.
With the broadcast of "Wandering with Werewolves", this enthusiasm has become unstoppable.
The Christmas holiday was just halfway over, and Swan Media's popularity completely overshadowed the Daily Prophet.
If magic TVs were only a necessity for Quidditch fans before, then magic TVs are now essential alchemical items for every wizarding family.
Even Mr. Weasley, who was not very wealthy, gritted his teeth and bought a magic TV for his home at the request of his children.
Originally, Mrs. Weasley was opposed to buying a magical television.
However, after the Magic TV arrived at her home, she changed her previous attitude and became a loyal user of Magic TV.
Every night at eight o'clock, she would appear in front of the magic TV on time, waiting for the show "Wandering with Werewolves" to start.
When the Christmas holidays were over and Hogwarts returned to school, most of the young wizards were excitedly discussing the plot of the TV series.
The young wizards who lived in Muggle families listened to their classmates’ discussion with a confused look on their faces, and then pieced together the general plot of "Wandering with Werewolves" from everyone’s chat.
They couldn't understand why the topic of conversation had changed so much in just one vacation.
No one was talking about Quidditch anymore, everyone was talking about TV series instead.
......
The days passed by like flowing water, so calmly that there was not a ripple. Sebastian even felt that he would spend the new semester in this peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
1991, March 3, Easter.
After a busy day, Sebastian lay down on the soft and comfortable bed as if his muscles and bones were pulled out, ready to fall into a sweet dream.
Suddenly, he felt his traceless stretch bag begin to vibrate violently.
Have an emergency contact?
Sebastian jumped out of bed, took the traceless stretching bag, and took out a vibrating exquisite box from it.
After opening the lid, there was a two-sided mirror in the box, and an anxious voice came from the mirror.
"Professor Swan, this is George! Something happened, please come here quickly!"
"George Weasley? Where are you?"
Sebastian was extremely surprised. This two-sided mirror should be in Snape's hands. How did George get it?
"I'm in your office, Professor! Fred's been taken."
Sebastian didn't dare to delay. He put on his clothes at an astonishing speed, then put away the seamless stretch bag and walked towards the fireplace.
There was a flash of green fire, and Sebastian appeared in his office at Hogwarts.
"Professor, you're finally here!" Seeing Sebastian walking out of the fireplace, George immediately came up to him.
"Don't panic, speak slowly!" Sebastian comforted George softly.
After discovering that the two-sided mirror that was supposed to be in Snape's hand appeared in George's hand, he was not actually too panicked.
After all, with Snape around, the situation would definitely not be too bad.
At least Snape would definitely not watch Fred's life in danger.
Now that Snape has caught up, the most urgent thing now is to find out what happened.
At the very least, before setting out to look for a few people on your own, you need to get as much useful information as possible.
Seeing George sweating anxiously, Sebastian took out a small bottle of demulcent and asked George to take it to relieve his anxiety.
After drinking a bottle of potion, George's tense nerves finally relaxed.
He calmed himself down and began to explain the whole story to Sebastian.
"Professor, when Fred and I were out for a night out tonight, we noticed that Professor Robert from the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was acting a bit sneaky."
"It felt like we were traveling at night, afraid of being discovered."
"Fred and I were curious, so we secretly followed him and found that Professor Robert had left the castle and was heading towards the Forbidden Forest."
"Fred wanted to follow and see, but I was afraid of being discovered by Professor Snape on night patrol, so I stood guard at the castle gate with the Marauder's Map."
"As a result, Fred was knocked down by a spell just as he approached the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and was dragged into the Forbidden Forest."
Thinking back to this scene, George, who had just calmed down, became a little nervous again.
"I quickly found Professor Snape who was on night patrol. After listening to my description, he gave me the key to your office and this mirror that can contact you."
"He asked me to contact you in your office and wait for you. You know the rest."
After listening to George's description, Sebastian felt helpless.
These two silly guys...
You're only in your second year and you're already thinking about following the professor?
Should this be praised for being courageous?
Or should I say reckless?
Fortunately, the two of them were careful and did not follow them all.
Otherwise, who knows what will happen!!!
Sebastian released his magical perception and found that the castle was still quiet, which made him feel relieved.
It seems that things haven't gotten too bad yet.
Otherwise, Snape would surely have managed to send a message to the professors in the castle.
Thinking of this, Sebastian took out his wand and transformed the sofa in the office into a warm and comfortable big bed.
He took out a quilt from the traceless stretch bag, and then said to George, "Don't worry, Professor Snape will definitely bring Fred back safely."
"You can sleep here tonight, so you can know the news immediately."
"If you really can't sleep, there's a magic TV in my office that you can use to kill time."
"Don't worry, there will be good news soon!"
After saying that, Sebastian got on his broom, opened the window, and flew into the sky, heading towards the Forbidden Forest.
He increased his speed to the maximum and rushed into the forbidden forest.
In order to prevent any blind magical animals from disturbing him, Sebastian released his powerful magic power, announcing his arrival to the entire forbidden forest like a dragon.
He turned his magical perception to maximum and followed the mark left by Snape.
The dense bushes in the Forbidden Forest could not pose any obstacle to him, but simply retreated behind him at an astonishing speed before his eyes.
The magic power that emanates from the body gradually becomes boiling and violent!
Under the tearing of the strong wind, Sebastian's eyes grew colder little by little.
"You really know how to pick the right time to do something while Dumbledore is not at school!"
"Professor Robert, you are really smart!"
"I hope you don't do anything stupid!"
