Chapter 143 Confessing? I Like You
Sean interrupted Tonks and said softly, "Tonks, actually, I came here today not just to apologize."
He took a deep breath, as if trying to muster his courage.
"I have always admired you. Your talent, your passion, and your kindness all fascinate me."
He paused, his gaze hardening. "I want to say, I like you, Tonks..."
"Lately, I've found myself unable to stop missing you. Every time I see you, my heart races, and every time I talk to you, I feel incredibly happy."
If Tonks, who had her head buried in the bear, were to look up and observe Sean closely, she would find that Sean's eyes were empty and vacant, as if... he were looking at something that did not exist.
Sean continued reciting his prepared lines while glancing at the transparent system panel that appeared before him: [Mission One:...]
Task Two:
【Task 3:】
[Friendly reminder: There is a risk of failure in increasing favorability at this stage. Please act with caution. It is recommended to reach a favorability level of 15.]
[Important Note: You must complete all three tasks above to unlock Tonks' ultimate quest. Failure to do so will result in consequences. (El Translation Studio wishes you a pleasant journey in another world!)]
After closing the system panel in front of him, Sean continued to put on a sentimental expression and spoke to Tonks.
"I want to see the world's beautiful scenery with you, share every touching moment, create more wonderful memories together, and spend every moment of the rest of my life together. I want..."
Tonks looked up at Sean and found his eyes filled with sincerity and expectation.
A warm feeling welled up in her heart.
She never imagined that Sean would have such deep feelings for her.
She suddenly realized that perhaps her previous worries and avoidance were unnecessary.
How could my senior be that kind of person?
In the few seconds that Tonks was thinking, time seemed to stand still, with only the sound of their two heartbeats echoing.
Sean stared longingly at Tonks, whose face was flushed red.
I felt a little nervous.
This... can't possibly fail too, right?
Really? Really?
Although he didn't believe deep down that he would fail, the wait was always agonizing.
Finally, Tonks spoke, her voice trembling slightly but full of sincerity: "I—I didn't expect you to say that."
"You have always been someone I deeply respect and trust..."
She lowered her head, as if gathering her thoughts, then raised it again, her eyes sparkling with determination: "I've liked you too, for a very long time, Senior Phillips..."
Upon hearing this, Sean instinctively hugged Tonks, as if trying to pull her tightly into his embrace.
"Junior, I...I don't know what to say." Sean's voice trembled slightly, his excitement overflowing. "I only know that I've been waiting for you to say these words for a long time..."
Tonks poked her little head out of Sean's arms, staring blankly at her beloved, somewhat infatuated... but she quickly thought of a crucial question that made her hesitate.
"Our relationship happens at school...::" Tonks bit her lower lip, speaking cautiously, "Won't it have some impact? After all, we're both teachers...:"
Sean gently took Tonks' hand.
Normally, he would have said things like "It's okay, I'm here" or "Don't worry" to comfort Tonks, but instead, he went along with what Tonks had said and continued, "What are you thinking, junior?"
"Some junior wizards... are saying behind my back that I... got to where I am... because of your connections..." At this point,
Tonks stammered, somewhat embarrassed, "If... our relationship becomes public, won't it have a bad impact on you? And...:"
"So you want to keep our relationship a secret for a while?" Sean countered.
He gave Tonks the answer he wanted.
"Hmm..." Tonks seemed a little hesitant. She hadn't thought of it that way before, but Sean's idea seemed like a good solution.
It's like when your mind is completely blank, someone suddenly stuffs a lemon into your head.
So she kept thinking about the lemon, and even treated it as her own.
"I...I..." Tonks stammered, then looked up at Sean, who was almost inches away, blinking, "C-Can I, senior..."
This, ironically, became Tonks' request.
Tonks felt uneasy.
She felt this was very unfair to her senior.
The other person is so famous and likes her. He took the initiative to confess his feelings to her, but she acted coy and indecisive... She couldn't even make their relationship public.
She really didn't want to be just a pretty face in the students' eyes, she wanted to be a real person.
"sure."
Before Tonks could react, Sean suddenly leaned in and easily pried open Tonks's jaw.
Tonks felt a nimble, smooth tongue slip into her warm mouth. The little tongue frantically explored every corner, sucking the sweet juices in her mouth and greedily taking her scent.
"Mmm."
The senior student ate all my saliva.
Tonks was completely unable to make a sound. The strange, tingling sensation in his mouth left Tonks' mind blank, and his eyes gradually became unfocused.
"Junior, haven't you been training in a while...?"
Unbeknownst to both of them, while they were immersed in a tender embrace and conversation, a small figure silently slipped past the doorway of Sean's office...
During the training, Sean glanced at the system panel and showed a satisfied expression.

At dawn on Sunday, Harry opened his eyes to the warmth of the winter sun bathing his dormitory.
Yesterday afternoon when he fell off the flying broomstick.
His bones were broken, and Lockhart, to spare him from pain, made all his bones disappear.
This also meant he would have to stay in the school clinic for a few days.
Harry waved his arm, which had grown new bone but was still a bit stiff. He sat up abruptly, his gaze quickly falling on Colin's bed, where the newly changed curtains hung long.
Colin's bed was completely covered up—Colin was the second victim of the locked-room mystery, brought in yesterday afternoon.
At that moment, Mrs. Pomfrey noticed that Harry had woken up, and she walked over lightly carrying a breakfast tray.
She gently helped Harry stretch his stiff arms and fingers.
"You're recovering well," she commented with a smile, while Harry awkwardly sipped the porridge with his left hand. "You can be discharged after breakfast."
Harry dressed hastily and rushed to the Gryffindor Tower, eager to tell Ron and Hermione about Colin and Dobby.
But the place was empty, and their absence made Harry wonder and even feel a little wronged—didn't they care about his recovery?
He ran into Percy Weasley as he passed by the library.
Percy appeared calm and seemed to be in a much better mood than when they last met.
"Hey Harry," he greeted warmly, "yesterday's flying contest was fantastic! Gryffindor is leading in the House Cup—you contributed fifty points!"
"Have you seen Ron and Hermione?" Harry asked eagerly.
"No, I've never seen them," Percy's smile faded as he mentioned Ron.
Harry forced a smile as he watched Percy leave.
He went straight to the bathroom where the weeping Myrtle was, a feeling he had that the two of them would end up there.
So after confirming that no one was around, he pushed open the door and went inside. He heard sounds coming from a small, guarded room.
"It's me," he said, closing the door behind him. A clattering sound followed from inside the room. Then came a gasp, and Hermione's eyes peeked out from the keyhole.
"Harry!" she exclaimed in surprise. "You scared us! Come in quickly—how's your arm?"
"It's all over." Harry squeezed into the small cubicle and found a crucible on the toilet.
He heard a popping sound coming from under the toilet, and he knew they were starting a fire.
Hermione is skilled at using magic to conjure portable and waterproof sources of fire.
"We were planning to visit you, but we decided to make Polyjuice Potion first," Ron explained, while Harry laboriously relocked the door to the private room. "It's safest here."
Harry was about to bring up Colin when Hermione interrupted, "We already know, Professor McGonagall told Professor Flitwick this morning. That's why we decided to—"
"We need to get Malfoy to confess as soon as possible," Ron said indignantly. "I think he's been depressed ever since the Quidditch match, and he's definitely taking it out on Colin."
"There's one more thing," Harry said, watching Hermione tear the two-eared grass into pieces and add it to the potion. "Dobby came to see me last night."
Ron and Hermione looked up in shock.
Harry recounted Dobby's visit in detail, along with the information that was revealed and not revealed.
The two were speechless.
"Has the Chamber of Secrets been opened before?" Hermione asked doubtfully.
“That clearly says something,” Ron asserted. “Lucius Malfoy must have opened the Chamber of Secrets when he was in school, and now he’s teaching Draco to do it too.”
Ron joked as he poured some dead grasshoppers into the cauldron, "You know what, Harry? If Dobby keeps saving you like this, he might end up hurting you."
Harry nodded without saying anything.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally whispered the words that had been weighing on his mind, "Dobby also reminded me to be careful of Professor Sean..."
"Professor Sean?!" Hermione immediately bristled upon hearing Sean's name.
The two people around Hermione were already used to her reaction, and Harry had even anticipated this when he decided to mention Professor Sean.
"Dobby is definitely lying!" Hermione said firmly. "How could Professor Sean, such a good person, do such a thing?"
"But Dobby said..."
