In the British Wizarding World, skin color is not a factor of discrimination.

Because of the existence of magic and the targeting of Muggle, wizards communicated with wizards from other countries and of other skin colors earlier than Muggle, and were more united.

Whether the parents were wizards and whether the family lineage has been passed down for a long time are the important factors.

Therefore, the oldest Black Family has no shortage of Black relatives by marriage.

They are also a rare ancient wizarding family whose bloodline does not bear any traces of their ancestors' physical appearance.

This is why they are three daughters from the same mother and the same father.

The other two have blonde hair and big waves.

Bellatrix Lestrange, on the other hand, has dark hair, dark skin, a wide chin, and puffy eyes.

Of course, even with the three appearance debuffs, Bellatrix is still considered a beauty.

As a god-tier card, Basil had already upgraded Boggart to level 3. Summoning Card are easier to upgrade than Spell Card, and they don't have the kind of additional attributes that require experience.

It's worth mentioning that Boggart's damage cap has also been increased to 20.

The capacity of the [Transfiguration Image Library] has also been increased from 10 to 20.

And its image:

[Bellatrix Lestrange (fake)]

[Life: 0]

[While chuckling, I cast the Cruciatus Curse with my Walnut Wood wand (fake) that deals 20 damage.]

It also comes from Neville's memories.

The power of memory is indeed true.

Boggart can recreate everything simply by reading memories.

Unlike Dementor, which can bring back deep-seated fears from a person's mind.

The images of fear that Boggart reads often stem from the surface fears of the victims.

This is why Neville's fear is Snape, not Bellatrix, who tormented his parents to the point of madness in front of him.

But under Basil's manipulation, the image that Neville himself had forgotten was engraved in Boggart's mind.

In fact, Basil had already searched for almost all of Hogwarts' students in order to fill the Boggart database.

As his roommate, Neville naturally couldn't escape it.

The reason this Bellatrix is the movie version is because Basil temporarily altered her appearance.

Basil waved his hand, recalling Boggart.

It's no longer necessary.

Alice also comforted Bellatrix at the right time, saying, "You don't need to worry."

"Time's up."

As soon as she finished speaking, a deep rumble of thunder exploded in the dense forest far away from them, then swept westward toward the town.

She no longer nestled beside Basil.

She left her original spot and ran towards the flat open space.

Or rather, dancing past.

The Cullen family's erudite tradition influenced almost all of its members.

They are not only learned in written knowledge, but their etiquette and demeanor also seem to be ingrained in their bones.

Even while running, Alice's posture remained impeccable, her body moving with fluid grace as she stopped a quarter of a mile away from them.

The other members of the Cullen family did the same, throwing themselves like arrows at the enormous arena with incredible grace.

Even Emmett, who was as big as a bear, was no exception.

Edward, the protagonist of the Twilight novels, was perhaps chosen to highlight his uniqueness.

His running was particularly aggressive, combining power and elegance.

If everyone else's running style resembles that of a gazelle, his is like that of a cheetah.

In the end, only Esme, Bellatrix, Basil, who were also just watching baseball, remained where they were.

Carlisle is marking out the positions of each base, with the four bases spaced far apart to match the vampire's speed.

Alice, as the pitcher, throws the ball.

Rosalie is the catcher responsible for receiving the ball.

Emmett was the batter.

Edward, as a fielder, was responsible for catching balls hit by other players and for fielding.

Carlisle has always been a runner, without a fixed affiliation. He belongs only to the offensive team.

In a normal baseball game, there should be seven fielders: first baseman, second baseman, third baseman, shortstop, left fielder, center fielder, and right fielder.

Edward, the fastest of the Cullen family, took all the spots.

Because excluding referee Esme, there are only 5 players in total, including both the attacking and defending teams.

Because there were too few of them, and because they were vampires with unimaginable speed and strength, they didn't follow the rules of baseball completely.

For example, Rosalie, who was a catcher, didn't wear gloves at all.

They don't need it.

A rumble of thunder sounded.

At this moment, Esme had already led them to the sidelines.

Basil summoned his wand, this time the green one called "Truth-Teller," and with a casual wave, conjured a soft, long sofa.

He pulled Bellatrix to sit down.

Esme sat at the other end of the sofa.

After they were seated, everyone else had already taken their places.

Edward was positioned in left field.

Carlisle stood between first and second base.

Alice held the ball, stood on the pitcher's mound, and spun the ball around to test her feel for it.

Emmett stood at home plate, twirling a bat that whistled through the air, yet its movement was barely perceptible.

Basil blinked, and his eyes turned gold, but this time they weren't vertical pupils.

Esme's pert nose wrinkled slightly, and from her surprised and delighted eyes, it was clear that she was now using vampire eyes.

And he instantly transformed into a vampire.

The trajectory of that metal baseball bat, and even the patterns on it, began to catch Basil's eye.

Rosalie smiled brightly, standing a few feet behind Emmett, and waved to Basil.

It is worth mentioning that, apart from Rosalie's special case, the distance between the others was about a quarter mile, or more than 400 meters.

"On your marks," Esme called out in a clear voice. "Begin."

Alice launched a sneak attack.

She didn't make any throwing motion; she simply placed the ball at her waist and then thrust it forward with her right hand.

The ball flew straight toward Rosalie's hand.

With a crisp snap, Rosalie caught it.

"Good shot!" Esme clapped.

"Well done!" Basil gave Alice and Rosalie two thumbs-up.

Emmett was still in a ready-to-hit position, not yet back to his senses.

Rosalie threw the ball back into Alice's waiting hands with force.

But they weren't watching the game; instead, they were winking at Basil.

Alice was the most exaggerated; she caught the ball with her back almost to the Beater and catcher, without even turning her head.

Then he turned his head and threw the ball with a standard pitching motion.

Bellatrix rubbed her eyes; to her, the ball had simply vanished into thin air.

Basil's other eye returned to its azure blue. Damn, what's with the serve that disappeared?

Watching the game from two different perspectives simultaneously creates a strong sense of disorientation and impact.

The baseball bat in Emmett's hand also vanished into thin air.

Rumble!

It hit the ball!

The impact sounded like a mountain collapsing, booming loudly.

The sound echoed through the mountains like thunder.

"Is that why we play ball in thunderstorms?" Bellatrix continued to feign ignorance.

Esme nodded in agreement.

The ball streaked across the sky like a shooting star and fell far into the surrounding dense forest.

Emmett Beater, instantly transformed into a base runner.

His figure vanished into thin air.

The same goes for Carlisle.

Esme's hand was still raised high.

With her eyes closed, she relied on her vampire-like keen hearing to detect the movements of the ball and Edward, who was also running towards the dense forest.

In a human game, this would undoubtedly be a home run.

But for a vampire, especially Edward, whose speed is exceptional among vampires, he is very likely to receive the ball.

Sure enough, the next second...

Edward leaped from the edge of the forest, the ball held high in his hand.

"Out!" Esme shouted in a clear voice.

Emmett and Carlisle stopped in their tracks, feeling dejected.

I don't know how much time has passed.

The sky was already dark.

The game continued amidst the booming thunder.

The booming sound of the ball hitting the bat could be heard from time to time.

Now, the roles of offense and defense have been switched countless times.

Alice is now Beater.

Rosalie, skilled in assassination and equally fast, was chosen as the underling.

Emmett was in charge of pitching.

Edward and Carlisle, who should have always been a runner, switched identities.

Carlisle was the catcher who received the ball.

The competition for extraordinary lives is indeed interesting.

Just like Quidditch.

Bellatrix, who had been waiting for the three vampires to appear, forgot about them and focused her attention on the game.

And they even broadcast all of this live in the group chat.

Madison: "This stadium is much bigger than in the movies."

Zoe: "They're faster too."

"The film did not fully adhere to the original work in order to enhance its entertainment value."

Sophie: "I just read the original book. In the novel, Alice foresaw those three vampires."

"In the original future, they would cross the Olympia Mountains and never pass through the town of Fawkes."

"It was the sound of the Cullen family playing ball during the thunderstorm that attracted them."

"Bellatrix has been playing the victim!"

Madison: "Didn't you notice?"

"Hmph, no wonder she's a country girl."

An evil institution.

Beneath the withered tree, shrouded in dark clouds, Sophie punched and broke the trunk.

She could picture Madison's smug, mocking expression.

Hall of Virtue.

Surrounded by flowers and fairies, Beatrix covered her mouth, "You can do that?"

Or should I...?

Hogwarts.

Ariana lowered her head shyly, and she too was inspired.

Not to mention how many times Basil will be tagged in the next few days.

Twilight World.

On the field halfway up Mount Olympia.

During the match, Alice suddenly raised her hand to signal the end of the match.

Basil snapped his the Snap.

The sofa, along with the three 'people' on it, instantly appeared beside Alice.

The people who were competing also gathered together as if by teleportation.

Bellatrix, who was having a heated online argument with Sophie in the group chat, suddenly noticed a soft, slender arm appearing behind her head.

She looked closely.

It was Rosalie; she sat directly on Basil's lap.

Carlisle, Alice, Edward, Emmett also came to the sofa.

No, it was the sofa that moved to the center of the space.

"What's wrong?" Carlisle asked in a calm and authoritative tone.

"They heard the sound of the ball being hit and changed direction," Alice, somewhat troubled.

The Cullen family's ability to remain hidden is also related to Alice.

Alice always knew about every major event in advance.

He then informed Carlisle of the foresight, and Carlisle began preparations.

For nearly a century, it has never made a mistake.

But now.

Four pairs of sharp eyes turned to Carlisle.

Carlisle frowned. "It's three vampires."

"Three!" Emmett scoffed. "Let them come."

His thick arms bulged with steel-like muscles.

Bellatrix, being a magician, can conceal her presence.

But Bellatrix stopped doing so after they stopped drinking blood.

Therefore, Bellatrix is very likely to be targeted by those three vampires.

"How much longer?" Carlisle asked, turning to Edward.

Edward's senses are the most outstanding; his mind-reading ability is like a radar.

He didn't even need to bend down to listen to the Dadi trembling; he instantly located them, estimated the time, and read their minds, "Less than five minutes. They're running—they want to join the race."

Carlisle looked at Bellatrix.

He wanted Bellatrix to conceal her presence, ideally like a vampire.

He knew that the three vampires were no match for them.

Not to mention that Basil was also there.

Bellatrix herself is no ordinary person.

But he has never liked conflict, and Jasper, who could control the emotions of those around him, was not there.

If Bellatrix doesn't act, Carnage on one side will likely be inevitable.

He knew how alluring Bellatrix's scent was, in the presence of a life like his.

Not to mention that the ones who came were not vegetarians.

But Bellatrix has a dual identity as both a guest and an unofficial member of the family.

He had no right to speak.

Therefore, he remained silent.

Edward stopped breathing.

Carlisle, Emmett, and the others all turned and stood in the same direction.

Their eyes reflected a deep sorrow.

For the impending one-sided Carnage.

If those three vampires don't know what's good for them.

No, it seems this was destined.

Carlisle and his companions instantly sensed a chilling aura emanating from behind them.

Only Rosalie and Alice, who had been intimately conscious with Basil, could be ignored.

Rosalie leaped lightly, flipped in the air, landed steadily, and gracefully tied her hair back.

Basil stood up.

Its eyes turned gold, and its vertical pupils resembled a roaring red dragon wearing a crown.

The damp sand dried instantly.

His silhouette also blurred in the distorted air.

"They're here."

Basil suppressed his unusual behavior; he didn't want to scare them away.

Three figures, spaced a dozen meters apart, appeared at the edge of the dense forest.

The first to emerge from the dense forest was a vampire with a crew cut and light brown hair.

Those ordinary facial features, and those stiff yet alert eyes.

This immediately reveals his identity— James, the hunter with the keenest sense of smell in Twilight who enjoys high-difficulty challenges.

He quickly retreated back into the woods.

Laurent, a black-haired vampire with a buzz cut, walked in front as a shield and diplomat, while he himself followed behind.

Next up is Victoria, the only woman among the three, with strikingly long, bright orange hair.

A vampire whose only ability is to escape, who constantly caused trouble, and who only died in the third movie.

Looking at the three of them, Basil couldn't help but show a look of disgust.

Even though he had read about them in novels, he still hadn't expected them to be in such dire straits.

If the vampires of the Cullen family are elegant nobles, then they are vagrants.

Barefoot, dressed in tattered clothes, Victoria, the only one with long hair, had her hair full of broken twigs and leaves.

A real country bumpkin begging for food in the city.

The arrogant mindset of the former Tianlong people of Youzhou is activated once again.
