Aberforth pushed open the door and climbed inside.
Ariana followed, and after entering the room, the door behind her vanished into thin air.
It was a wonderful little house.
It was enormous, looking like a very elaborate treehouse or the cabin of a large ship.
But it was empty, both the walls and the dark-paneled hallway without windows, and the bookshelves were all empty.
Ariana nodded thoughtfully. According to Aberforth, it was probably because of the lack of refugees that the Room of Requirement had not yet improved itself internally due to the presence of refugees.
"You must have noticed by now."
Aberforth misunderstood Ariana's expression.
There is no door here.
He approached the wall, closed his eyes as if deep in thought. Then the door appeared.
"That's it. Whatever you want will appear."
He turned the doorknob, and the door opened.
"I'll give it a try too." Ariana closed her eyes, and the next second, an archway appeared out of thin air in the wall, leading to a washroom.
Ten minutes later.
"What? You're going to France too?"
In the quiet Headmaster's Office, a voice echoed throughout the entire castle.
Even Snape, who was brewing shampoo in the basement, accidentally added a few extra drops of extracted and flavored dragon fat.
Ariana, who was facing the sound directly, couldn't help but rub her ears.
She said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Of course. It's all my brother's fault. You can cancel it too."
"Cancel," Dumbledore low voice.
He was filled with mixed emotions. He hadn't seen Ariana like this since she was six years old.
Words like brave and lively no longer apply to her. She is always timid and immersed in her own world.
Only Aberforth could occasionally enter.
Now, the closed-off Mind Stone has been completely opened.
In just two days, it was done by a young boy.
Instead of him being Aberforth, even if he were!
Disappointment and joy intertwined in my heart.
This caused his brilliant mind to freeze, leaving him unsure of what to say.
But he still subconsciously said, "Okay."
Even though this is quite presumptuous.
After all, Nick had already agreed.
Nick readily agreed, willing to dedicate some of his remaining hundred years as a couple to teaching Basil.
For the first time, he began to complain about his own exceptional efficiency.
After casting the curse on Rita Skeeter, he immediately contacted Nick. Then he arranged to meet with Basil.
If he were slower, it wouldn't be so troublesome.
He also refused to force Ariana to stay in England.
So he blinked hard, looking at Aberforth, who stood silently behind Ariana like a statue.
Aberforth simply yawned. "Albus, what's wrong with your eyes? Don't worry about Ariana going to France, I'll go with her."
"I'll have someone keep an eye on Hog's Head Inn."
Dumbledore felt like his brain was about to explode.
Why does Aberforth understand?
He wanted Aberforth to speak up and persuade Ariana to stay in England.
It's not about whether Ariana will have anyone to accompany her to France.
He had already planned where he would take his younger sister on a trip during the upcoming summer vacation.
Every place he visited was one he had been to before and found particularly appealing. These might be places with stunning scenery, delicious and culturally rich food, or fascinating and educational history...
At the same time, he also prepared a whole host of famous quotes to teach her.
He has no intention of entrusting these matters to others.
Even Aberforth won't do!
Even though he had already made up his mind, when he looked into Ariana's big eyes, all he could say was, "Okay, but I'm going too."
Aberforth asked in surprise, "Where's your precious school?"
Albus shrugged. "With Minerva around, it's time to give her more responsibilities."
That noon, Professor McGonagall, who had transformed into a cat sunbathing on the windowsill, was given a bunch of work with a long face.
Most of the time, he would attend various meetings at the Ministry of Magic.
Meanwhile, Harry finally received Dumbledore's letter.
However, it wasn't in the storage room under the stairs, and it didn't even alert the Dursley family.
Because now he has his own room. He only needs to open the window, and the owl can fly in Silencio.
The Dursley family had a total of four bedrooms: one for Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia; one as a guest room (usually for Uncle Vernon's sister Marge); one as Dudley's bedroom; and one for storing toys and other items that couldn't fit in Dudley's bedroom.
Clearly, the last room now belongs to him.
Actually, he moved in last year.
But if it weren't for "that incident," he probably would have moved back to the storage room.
They'll probably lock everything he has to do with the magical world in a cabinet.
How angry they would be if they saw an owl flying into the home of a "decent person" like them again.
Aunt Petunia might just give the whole house a thorough cleaning in a fit of anger.
In the past, he would definitely be the one who suffered.
His aunt and uncle seemed to regard Dudley, who was strong and Dudley, as some kind of fragile porcelain.
Of course, it's still because of "that matter".
Perhaps it's also because they didn't know he couldn't perform magic outside of school.
Harry put down Dumbledore's letter, suppressing his excitement about spending the summer at Ron's house.
He looked at the newspaper on the ground.
This is 'that thing'.
[Daily Mirror]
Blake is still on the run.
The British government confirmed today:
Sirius, the perpetrator of the Carnage eleven years ago, has fled and is currently roaming Surrey County. Please note that this prisoner is armed and extremely dangerous.
This was Sirius's achievement; he donated a large sum of Galleons to the Muggle Liaison Office.
So he appeared in the Muggle World's newspapers as a criminal.
He visited this place before Harry returned to the Dursley family.
So, after it was confirmed that Harry had a dangerous murderer godfather, his treatment at the Dursley family improved dramatically.
Sirius even wrote a letter to inform him in advance, specifically mentioning that it was an idea from a man named Remus.
Harry was very conflicted about this.
But his body obediently jumped out of bed, hurried across the room, and sat down at the table.
He pulled over a piece of parchment, dipped his quill pen in ink, wrote "Dear Sirius," and then stopped.
They haven't spoken since that conversation after the year-end dinner.
Previously, upon learning that he also had a godfather, he was woken up almost every day by his excited heartbeat.
The closer it gets to summer vacation, the stronger my heartbeat becomes.
The thought of leaving the Dursley family for good and moving in with Sirius filled him with such joy that his heart seemed to leap out of his chest.
But everything was ruined after Sirius's true nature was discovered.
Sirius may have been a perfect godfather who loved him dearly, but Sirius was also a Dudley- like figure.
How could he, who had played the role of Snape, accept Dudley?
Even now, he is both proud and ashamed of his resemblance to his father.
Sometimes he suddenly wished he were a girl. That way, he could be like the girl named No Regrets in Basil's "Killing the Dragon with the Power of the Sky," marrying Professor Six of the School of Martial Arts—her mother's former lover, the person her father had wronged.
Of course, this was just a fleeting thought. He felt nauseous afterwards.
Unfortunately, Basil, far away at Hogwarts, had no idea what Harry was thinking.
Otherwise, he would have 'wish' to create a spell that would turn Harry into Harley.
At that moment, he was also reading the book Harry had mentioned, "Slaying the Dragon with the Power of the Sky".
This book was already being serialized in newspapers from 1961 to 1962.
At the same time, the tip of his right index finger was emitting a faint light that was invisible to ordinary people.
Zhang Wuji washed the bloodstains from his hands and the oilcloth, and opened the bag. Inside were four thin scriptures. Because the oilcloth had been wrapped tightly, the pages remained intact despite being hidden inside the ape's belly for so long. The covers bore several crooked characters that he couldn't recognize. Upon opening them, he found the four books filled with these strange characters, but between each line were tiny Chinese characters written in fine script.
This text also began to glow.
Four scriptures, named Nine Yang and hailed as the ultimate principles of martial arts, began to emerge from the pages.
They were as hazy as the summoned items, but unlike the last Resurrection Stone, they didn't flash with Spark; instead, they looked like a TV screen that had frozen.
Then they scattered into Dotty light and entered Basil's body.
In martial arts novels, something called 'meridians' begins to connect and merge at various nodes.
He was immune to all poisons, possessed an indestructible body, and the heat of molten gold and iron surged within him.
The next second, golden beast eyes appeared.
The fiery, both benevolent and malevolent, red Dragon Blood seemed to have been provoked, and the [Scales of Evil] faintly appeared, causing the 'meridians' to collapse.
The overflowing emotional energy returned to the torrent of good and evil cycles within Basil's body.
"Is that not allowed?" Basil frowned.
This is not due to the Dragon Blood of Red Dragon in the blood vessels and heart.
Just like the Resurrection Stone that was previously manifested could not resonate with the other two Deathly Hallows.
The manifested meridians and the Internal Energy flowing in the dantian called [Misty Purple Qi] are merely false and artificial things that will collapse without the support of emotional energy.
The Sword of Truth and Good is Excalibur, which is why the Caliburn can resonate with the materialized scabbard.
This is because the Sword of Truth and Good is a product of the Fairy Tale Kingdom. Unlike the Tales of King Arthur, it does not have a scabbard that can keep its master from bleeding.
There are limits to the Fairy Tale Magic.
Since Basil didn't know what Internal Energy was or had never seen the Resurrection Stone, the things he manifested were ultimately limited.
In that case, it seems impossible to see the Tai Chi Diagram and the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation from "Investiture of the Gods" at this stage.
He had considered making a wish to optimize the historical magic. However, his magical knowledge and emotional magic reserves did not allow it.
Shaking his head, Basil looked at the information that was jumping around in his mind.
That was Chat Group, and Ariana was tagging him in it.
Ariana: "I 'Albus told Albus that I'm going to France too. But they—I mean my two brothers—are going with me."
Madison: "Didn't Sweetheart say she was coming to our world? Besides, the guild's time travel function might not even be able to stop time."
Zoe: "It's definitely not possible. Bucky said before that time isn't stopped, but relatively still. But now, well, let me give you an example. Bucky wants to travel from world A to world B. In the past, after a month had passed in world B, he could choose to return at the point he left in world A. But now Ariana is in world B. The Chat Group, or community, connects us across worlds."
Bellatrix: "So, the existence of the Chat Group actually prevents Basil from freely choosing when to return?"
Sophie: "What are you talking about?"
While she excels at makeup, sewing, and fashion design, her logical thinking skills are severely lacking. Otherwise, she wouldn't have fallen for Raphael's tricks so easily in the original timeline.
Basil: "What they meant was that if I went to France, Madison and her friends' world travel would have to be put on hold."
"However, meeting Nick Flume isn't a bad thing. Besides, I won't be staying in their world for long; I've already made plans."
In fact, within the area on the map in his mind, namely Hogwarts (except for the Forbidden Forest), Hogsmeade (except for unlit private areas), and London (except for unlit private areas), was the most suitable place for Basil.
These regions are equivalent to his body; his vision can see anywhere within these areas, and he and his spells can freely traverse space within them. He can also arbitrarily replace everything within them.
It can be said that even if he were a mortal, he would be invincible in these areas.
He was able to do this because the small world represented by the map in his mind had merged with the real world.
However, the game that was the predecessor of the system, "Hogwarts: Magic Awakening," only expanded the map to London.
France is not included.
Unless the game map of this pig farm is updated, its system must also be able to be updated at the same time.
At most, he would illuminate all the private areas of Hogsmeade Village and London, bringing them under his control.
But not long ago, things changed.
Ariana's appearance greatly increased the deflection of the world line.
In addition to the 100,000 that was just revived, there has been a steady stream of new income recently.
As a result, the number of gems that Basil has accumulated has now reached Astronomy levels.
Gem: 200102.348(+0.001/s)
When the number of gems broke through the 200,000 mark, he heard the long-lost system notification.
[Sizzle. Sizzle. Sufficient gems available. Expansion Module activated. Activate now?]
"Yes."
In an instant, that little world in his mind appeared in his head.
A stream of information flooded my mind.
His body can serve as an anchor point, consuming gems to materialize corresponding projections in his mind.
Then, the projection and reality are combined to occupy the selected area.
This trip to France, to meet with Nick Flume, will be a precious opportunity.
An opportunity to anchor Nick Flume's stronghold and claim it all for himself.
