Chapter 232 Hypnotic Pocket Watch
Just as Penelope was slowly peeling off Sean's clothes with her nimble fingers, attempting to explore his body further, suddenly, a pair of strong hands, like steel, restrained all her next movements.
This sudden turn of events made her heart race.
She followed the strong arm and her gaze finally settled on Sean's face, which was ashen and whose eyes flickered with complex emotions.
For a fleeting moment, Penelope's expression showed panic, like a small animal suddenly exposed to the scorching sun, with nowhere to hide.
However, this is only a fleeting fluctuation.
Penelope quickly took a deep breath, swiftly adjusted her demeanor, and that alluring charm once again crept onto her face, as if everything just moments before had been an illusion.
"Mr. Phillips, sir," she deliberately drew out, her voice trembling slightly yet provocatively, "what... what are you trying to do? Did I do something wrong and make you angry?"
As she spoke, she subtly glanced at Sean with her alluring eyes, attempting to defuse the crisis using her usual methods.
But Sean didn't continue the act with her. He just stroked her body with his hands, as if searching for something.
"W-What are you doing?" This time, Penelope was really panicked.
She felt those large, strong hands roaming over her body, her delicate frame trembling uncontrollably, both from fear and comfort.
It was also because of an indescribable sense of shame and indignation.
Finally, Sean's hand rested in her inner pocket, where she kept her most secret.
She tried to stop it, but it was too late.
With a flick of his finger, Sean pulled out a rectangular alchemical artifact.
"What is this?" Sean asked coldly, fiddling with the alchemical artifact as if trying to discern some clue from it.
Penelope's face turned ashen instantly; she knew she could no longer hide the truth.
Her voice trembled as she tried to explain, "This, this is me—"
However, her words were forced back down her throat by Sean's piercing gaze.
Sean didn't waste any words.
With a single soul-capturing gesture, Penelope was rendered speechless and frozen in place.
Poor Penelope.
She had almost no secrets from Sean.
Having secrets is only temporary.
Sean flipped through Penelope's memories at will.
It was only then that he realized...
Penelope managed to break free of the Imperius Curse by the end of summer vacation.
Since Lockhart had already confessed, and Sean was still the nominal principal... plus she had no evidence, she held back, hoping to catch Sean red-handed when school started.
Just a few days later, she received a job offer from Sean's Ministry of Magic, which she accepted.
In order to preserve her memories, she put them into the Pensieve to prevent Sean from altering them.
In fact, this tactic worked.
After regaining her memories, Penelope bought a new magical alchemy item from the Bouncing Hoop Magical Joke Shop in Diagon Alley to help her gather evidence more easily—the item Sean is currently holding.
It can record audio; simply put, this is a voice recorder from the magical world.
Upon receiving the prop, a daring plan spontaneously formed in Penelope's mind.
If...she could...wouldn't that mean...?
What does personal sacrifice matter when it comes to the justice of the Ministry of Magic and the peace of Hogwarts?
Besides... no real sacrifice is needed, just a few words will suffice.
The main reason this plan failed was that she was too hasty.
The sudden change undoubtedly aroused Sean's suspicion.
What happened afterward is well-known.
When Sean snapped out of Penelope's memories and his gaze fell on the alchemical artifact in Penelope's hand, he was surprised to find, upon closer inspection, that the front of the artifact was engraved with two cartoon portraits of people.
Their appearance seemed somewhat familiar—Fred and George?
Without much thought, Sean could tell that this novel alchemical artifact must be the work of Fred and George.
After all, he had funded their Galleons for research into alchemical artifacts.
So, this is what they came up with?
In fact, Sean hadn't paid attention to the reports on his funds for quite some time.
In the first month after he handed over the funds to the Weasley brothers, he still had time to keep track of their research progress.
But as Penelope, Daphne, Lockhart and other things piled up, he had already put their research out of his mind.
He never even opened the packages and letters from the two people, keeping them together with the letters sent by his fans.
However, if he has time tonight, he will go home and look for the things the two people sent him.
Let's see what interesting little gadgets are inside.
However, he now needs to give Penelope some novel gadgets so that she can better remember this lesson.
As Sean's unabashed gaze swept over her, Penelope instinctively tightened her clothes, as if that would create an invisible barrier around her.
However, this action did not alleviate the pressure of Sean's gaze; instead, it accentuated her graceful figure even more.
The light blue dress outlined a beautiful curve in her body, and the black lace lingerie underneath was faintly visible, shimmering alluringly in the sunlight.
Through the thin fabric, Sean could even see her two full, firm, snow-white breasts faintly visible, with two rosy nipples clearly discernible, as if they might burst out of her clothes at any moment.
Sean stared greedily at her body, his gaze sliding from her slender neck down to her deep collarbone.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and a wicked smile crept across his lips.
He pulled his educational kit out of his briefcase.
Under Penelope's slightly frightened gaze, Sean locked the office door and then slowly approached her.
He reached out and gently stroked Penelope's arm, feeling the smoothness and warmth of her skin.
His fingertips slowly moved upwards.
After doing all this, Sean looked at the mess on the floor and sighed.
Just as he was about to cast a Soul Reaper on Penelope, he suddenly thought of something very interesting.
If a cheat device has that function, does that mean you can see...?
Sure enough, he found a good prop in the store.
He meant props that could make the whole process more interesting.
Hypnotic Pocket Watch
[Type: Item]
[Quality: Purple]
[Function: Place the pocket watch in front of the subject and gently shake it ten times; the subject will enter a hypnotic state.]
[Description: Perhaps this world needs a reset]
Sean placed the hypnotic pocket watch in front of Penelope. The watch made a soft "click-click" sound, and with the rhythm of the sound, Penelope's eyes gradually became hazy, and the focus in her pupils began to shift.
Sean called her name in a deep voice.
Penelope's eyelids began to droop, her vision gradually dimmed, and eventually she lost focus completely.
Sean's hand touched Penelope's exposed thigh. Penelope didn't react and let him touch her as he pleased.
Great, it seems the hypnotic effect is working.
Immediately afterwards, Sean gave Penelope his instructions:
"As long as you hear these four words."
"No matter where you are or what you are doing, you will enter this state again."
"At the same time, your body will...:"
'
After setting up the Penelope robot, Sean instructed Penelope to clean up the messy battlefield.
The battlefield here refers not only to the floor covered in water stains.
It also means... some clothes that haven't been dried.
While Penelope was tidying up, Sean unlocked the office door.
A few minutes later, Tonks walked in.
