344 Chapter 344 "The Second Sin"

Stephanie's pale face was a little rosy, and there was a cry in her voice.

"I didn't mean to approach you with bad intentions. At first, I really wanted to make friends with you."

Her sudden emotional outburst caught Sean off guard, and he didn't even react.

Even if the thing that happened in the Room of Requirements in the first grade was deliberately done by Grindelwald and Stephanie, he doesn't care about it now. After all, he was not harmed in any way, and he even got something from Grindelwald and Dumbledore.

It's just that, after staying with these two old men for a long time, he would unconsciously begin to analyze the hidden meanings of various things, even though those have no deep meaning at all.

However, Stephanie's reaction was beyond Sean's expectations.

In front of her, Stephanie completely lacked the cold demeanor she used to keep people away. The ponytail's rubber band loosened, her bright silver hair was messily draped around her waist, and the bear's pajamas were crumpled to her body.

Stephanie's fists were clenched, and her chest was heaving and flushed. There were tears in the corners of her eyes.

"I know you hate me because of that, but I don't know how to apologize to you." Her voice grew louder, and her tears fell to the ground like beads.

Sean frowned.

Stephanie yelled at him as she cried, "I want to make up for my mistakes. I want to do something to help you."

Sean's brows frowned even tighter.

Stephanie didn't look like a high-cold fifth-grade senior at all. Instead, she looked like a willful and crying little girl. Most importantly, she seemed overly excited.

Sean sensed something was wrong. He and Stephanie hadn't seen each other too much before the Monocle incident. He only smiled and said hello when they saw each other and chatted if they were close at mealtimes. In other words, Sean was always like this to his Ravenclaw classmates.

Sean is special to Stephanie because her Veela blood does not influence him, so she wants him to become an assistant of the Wand Club.

Because of this, the two communicated more. But compared to Hermione, Harry, the Weasley twins, and others, the two are not close friends.

After that, there was the incident of the monocle. Sean could not confirm whether Grindelwald was malicious at the time, so he was always on guard, and Stephanie suddenly became someone he didn't like.

Sean thought that Stephanie approached him with a strong purpose from the very beginning, which he didn't like very much. Under Sean's guard, the relationship between the two deteriorated further or in other words, there was no more communication after that.

This made Sean feel very wrong.

A person who could figure out the truth about the Room of Requirement in her second year, Stephanie's intellect was beyond doubt. Moreover, as a spy placed in Hogwarts by another school, it is impossible to do this.

If she calmly apologized, telling herself about the specific situation at the time. Sean would accept her apology frankly. After all, he and Grindelwald were also in the same mind. Sean had imagined this before entering the room, but he thought it was something Stephanie would do.

But here comes the question, so why is Stephanie acting like this?

Without Sean's response, Stephanie burst into tears. She knelt down like a child and even stumbled over the beanbag sofa she had placed. She got up from the ground while crying. Her forehead and nose were all red. However, Stephanie knelt on the ground, crying where she fell, and apologized to Sean.

"I really don't mean to watch you at all times. But Grindelwald told me to do it."

"It's also the first time I've received Christmas presents from other people."

Stephanie cried even more, "But I haven't received any gifts since then."

"Can you stop that?" Sean swears that when he stole his sister's favorite chocolate ice cream, she didn't cry as much as Stephanie in front of him.

It made him feel even more wrong. Many people will hide their true side. She may be a sensitive little girl in private. But the curveball of her characteristic throws Sean off.

In the room, she sat on her knees and cried loudly.

"Okay, I forgive you, just don't cry." Sean said in a deep voice.

But Stephanie only briefly changed from crying to sobbing and then continued to cry after staring blankly at Sean.

"You lied. You're not like this. You didn't forgive me. You were just being nice to me."

Sean pulled out his wand. He began to cast spells on her. Stephanie didn't resist, but Sean's spell didn't change the situation. It was as if the wall in the girl's heart collapsed instantly, leaving only a cry.

"Hey, don't cry. I accepted your apology, and we can be friends in the future, okay?" In desperation, Sean could only squat down on the ground and comfort her.

The crying gradually subsided, and she stared blankly at Sean.

Sean continued, "I didn't lie to you. You don't have to feel guilty anymore. It's just a small matter."

"Really?" Stephanie murmured.

"Really." Sean emphasized.

Stephanie's eyes widened, and a flush appeared on her face.

She finally smiled, "That's really... great..."

At that moment, Sean felt that she seemed to have become the one he loved the most, and those eyes were dyed with an attraction. Unstoppable love and obsession rushed into Sean's mind. He stared at her, and his heart beat rapidly.

Stephanie should be the most delicate girl he has ever met. Although she is short, she has excellent proportions, and she looks like an elf. Her long eyelashes were still shaking with tears, and the tip of her small and cute nose was a little red.

Of course, what attracted the most attention was her lips.

Sean lowered his head slowly, and he could even feel the warm breath exhaled by her.

On the other side of him, Stephanie's eyes gradually blurred. Her eyes also lost clarity, and she looked at Sean. She raised her head slightly so that she could get closer so that she could feel the boy's heavy breathing.

Sean bowed his head and cupped her cheek. He felt a voice in his head growling fervently.

He slowly approached the girl's lips, and Stephanie didn't dodge in any way. In the room, the atmosphere became strange and charming.

Stephanie's skin became paler, and she knelt softly on the ground, completely unaware of her weakening body. Sean got closer, and he even felt her cold lips and an eager, gentle, and intimate force rushing toward him again.

Sean looked at Stephanie, saw the small face he was holding, and saw the white hair falling from his fingertips.

His pupils shrank suddenly.

He immediately took a step back, put his hands down instantly, and gasped violently.

At this time, Sean finally saw the things around him. Stephanie's whole body seemed to be becoming transparent, her skin had no trace of blood, her bright silver long hair had completely turned white, and misty pale white magic power was wafting out of her body.

That magical power has already entangled Sean and is constantly pouring into his body.

Sean wanted to repel that power, and something even more surprising happened to him.

The magic power from Stephanie was not hindered in any way.

That power seemed to be something Sean could control by nature. He didn't feel any malice or discomfort. What he had was a sense of satisfaction and innate intimacy.

He has felt this magic before. Sean looked at Stephanie in shock. She lay softly on the ground. She whispered and approached Sean.

"Sean. I'm yours. I've always been yours."

Sean finally knows why he doesn't reject this force. That night in Paris, the thing in his body was released. Sean regained his clarity at the last moment and felt the huge magic power. The essence of the magic power escaping from Stephanie's body is exactly the same as the thing inside him.

She has the same thing as him, and the charm she was no longer affected by just now came into effect again, proving her identity.

Stephanie has "Lust".

There was no time for Sean to think about why all this happened. Even though she had come to her senses, Stephanie was still in a dazed state, and the magic power in her body was still pouring towards Sean.

Sean understood one thing. If he didn't care about Stephanie or even continued what he didn't continue just now, then all of Stephanie's power would not affect him.

However, Sean didn't hesitate at all. He directly took out his potion from the ring and gave it to Stephanie, who was already in a daze. Sean's movements made Stephanie cough violently, but she still held onto Sean's arm tightly, allowing the liquid to flow out.

"Sean..." Stephanie was still murmuring in a low voice, slurring her words.

Right now, she has swallowed more than the normal dose, but the overflow of magic power is still continuing.

"One more sip." Sean gave Stephanie another sip.

He pulled away her arm that was holding him and cast a spell on her directly.

"Petrificus Totalus!"

Sean has a bit of experience in dealing with people. He knows that if that person loses consciousness now, it may lead to more serious consequences, so that spell is the best choice.

After two more than normal doses, as well as the spell to control her movement, the magic power around Stephanie finally gradually dissipated. Sean retreated to the door and observed her changes.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that Sean lifted the spell on her. The magic power did not continue to overflow. Sean heaved a sigh of relief and looked over at her, who was a little dizzy.

"Do you need another sip?" He waved the potion bottle in his hand.

Stephanie's chest rose and fell rapidly; she raised her head to look at Sean, and her voice finally stopped. "I don't think I need another more; I almost…"

Sean leaned against the wall and folded his hands on his chest, "Why did you suddenly become like this? What did you do, or what happened to you?"

Stephanie frowned, grabbed her collar, and whispered, "I don't know why my emotions have been magnified like this. But thank you, Sean...Wallup."

Sean also frowned. Could it be that this was a sign of that Lust awakening inside her, and she just happened to meet him?

Because he can be sure that Stephanie's power is transmitted to him. Probably because of the self-awareness of Pride within his body. He feels that this is harmless to him and it will not even strengthen the Pride in his body.

The only problem is that if the magic power is completely poured out, Stephanie will disappear from this world without a trace.
