"Harry! Harry!" Ron's shouts replaced Neville's fear with curiosity and worry.
Harry's pupils glowed, and as a halo appeared above his head, his body floated up, as if he had been hit by Zombie Drift Charm.
The outline formed by the faint light on the body surface was like a mosaic, appearing as if the screen was lag.
"The world is being born!"
Lily suddenly appeared in the air next to Harry, displaying wings and a halo of light.
But she simply hovered silently in place, motionless.
Snape pushed through the crowd and ran up to them.
"The world? Is it the world I imagined?" Manstein into the crowd, bathed in golden-red firelight, Dumbledore.
Dumbledore then looked at Ariana, but when he couldn't find her, he looked at Harry.
"He seemed to have some kind of reaction to that tree."
Dumbledore's appearance quieted the crowd around him, and all negative emotions such as fear and worry vanished.
However, Ron and Draco, who were gazing in this direction, still had lingering sorrow in their eyes.
Ron stepped forward and asked, "Is Harry alright?"
Dumbledore observed carefully for a moment, "Harry just saw something and his body temporarily went out of control."
The fact that neither Lily nor Snape reacted indicated that Harry was safe.
He observed Harry, but his real intention was to find clues about the tree through Harry.
The tree radiates a sun-like energy, which Basil displayed when he summoned the alchemical golem that day.
But unlike last time, deep underground, there was an evil force spreading that made him feel as if he could see the end of all things, comparable to the opposite of all living beings ('Masaru Kobayashi,' who ran to the Chamber of Secrets to avoid the light and Present Body and trembling involuntarily, agrees).
The deeper the enhanced senses of magic penetrated, the stronger the evil became.
Just as he perceived, the higher one climbs, the more sacred and fiery the power becomes.
That tree is the conduit for the cyclical exchange of these two completely opposing energies.
If Basil knew what Dumbledore was thinking, he would be surprised.
Despite being the product of the convergence of two supreme magical crystals from outside this world system, Dumbledore was able to grasp even a fraction of its essence.
What Basil is doing now is a combination of the seven-day creation law of God in the American Horror Story world and the creation law of the Long-eared Tribe.
If there were no World Tree.
Enveloped within Hogwarts, all life in Hogsmeade, along with inorganic matter, would be boiled into a chaotic primordial soup.
What Basil had to do next was name the elements in the soup pot.
At the Setsuna order is born, another chaotic element is added, completely overlapping with itself, to control the world.
Then the newly formed order collapsed once again under the influence of the non-existent chaotic elements.
Until the chaotic elements returned to order, that is, the newly born world voluntarily became Basil's domain.
The world was born last.
But if that were the case, then the creatures of Hogwarts Hogsmeade would be essentially dead.
Basil would certainly not do that.
The existence of the World Tree replaced the remaining steps.
It transformed into light that invaded downwards from the sky, and was decomposed by the Magic Circle of light at the treetop, giving rise to earth, wind, water, and fire.
It fell to the Dadi, vowing to plunge the world into chaos and darkness, but was absorbed, merged, and reappeared by the Dark Magic circle at the tree roots, returning to order.
The World Tree itself began to detach from its physical form and begin to merge with the newly born world itself.
The ever-expanding body, which seemed to support the heavens and the earth, also began to stop growing.
"Whoa!" Aberforth tightened the reins, and the wild boar that had been galloping along the stone path to the lake stopped.
He didn't even have time to say hello to his sister.
Then they saw that the Crystal tree, which occupied most of the Forbidden Forest, had lost its shimmering luster, revealing its brown bark.
If you ignore its massive trunk, the huge face on the trunk when you look up, and the leaves that twinkle like stars, are almost indistinguishable from its smaller 'kind' beside it.
"Is it over?" Aberforth asked instinctively.
Because the unfamiliar energy that had been lingering throughout the area has subsided.
"It's over."
An unfamiliar voice came from high above.
Aberforth looked up and saw the inconspicuous, glowing figure that had been hidden in the shadows of the Crystal tree.
Hmm, there's also a woman beside me who seems to be weaving wings with flowing Starlight.
They are landing slowly.
That's right, Harry Potter?
Could it be that he was the one who caused this?
The last time was because of the resurrection of Lily Potter.
Thinking about this, Aberforth's eyes began to turn unfriendly. Should Ariana go to Beauxbatons for school instead?
Unlike Aberforth, who was unfamiliar with Harry and therefore did not notice anything unusual.
Dumbledore frowned. "Your eyes."
Snape murmured, "Lily ~"
Harry's piercing eyes had calmed down, replaced by a strange six-pointed star magic circle.
The same was true on Lily's forehead.
Harry's halo disappeared as he looked at Dumbledore. "It's a kind of light magic."
"It will also be the key to accessing the outside world in the future."
"Entering and exiting the outside world?" Dumbledore realized, "You mean we're no longer on the Scottish Highlands?"
He looked around, "But the surroundings are clearly—"
"This--"
His pupils contracted instantly, and his magically enhanced vision pierced through the jungle, arriving at the dark Hogsmeade Station.
However, the train tracks disappeared.
Instead, there was a boundless sea.
The entire Hogwarts, Hogsmeade Village, became an isolated island in the sea!
——
Knull Carter was an ordinary Ministry of Ministry of Magic employee.
It belongs to the Magical Maintenance Department.
The members of this department are responsible for the management and maintenance of the Ministry of Ministry of Magic headquarters, including deciding what weather to show in the enchanted windows of the Ministry of Magic headquarters, and fixing magical errors in various facilities of the Ministry of Magic, such as rain in the offices.
After Fudge took office, outsourcing was cut in an effort to save money.
The maintenance of elevators, the supply of Floo Powder for fireplaces, and some maintenance tasks with less magical properties, such as cleaning, were all assigned to the Magical Maintenance Department.
However, the number of people and their compensation in this department remained unchanged.
Their only advantage was their uniform—a dark blue robe made from the hide of Graphorn.
After all, the maintenance of the magical circuits in the office, such as the Floo Network, requires complete isolation from magic.
Even so, Fudge has recently been considering replacing the Graphorn hide with cheaper pigskin.
Pigs are a group of animals in the family Suidae in biology.
This animal is difficult to enchant, and therefore has little to do with magic.
But what has nothing to do with magic is that the pig must be alive.
Their skins do not provide insulation or resistance to spells.
"Ignorant fool!" Carter slammed the carriage door shut.
The pitch-black fields outside the window only amplified his senses.
Their department always seems to have to work overtime.
But Fudge then spouted nonsense about thrift and cherishing public resources.
This caused the fireplace's Floo Network to be shut off after 7 p. m.
In addition, he disliked crowds, Leaky Cauldron and Diagon Alley's communal fireplaces were naturally out of his consideration.
They would have no choice but to take the more expensive train back to their home in Hogsmeade.
"Fudge, cursed with the Killing Curse!" Carter cursed as he looked out the window.
The days when he was a student and traveled back and forth on this train are long gone.
The scenery outside the window remained the same as before, but he was no longer the spirited young man who dreamed of leading the way in Flying Broomstick.
"Huh? This is... fog?"
Carter stood up; the glass windows were fogged up.
But its outline should also be visible under the lights inside the carriage.
Moreover, at some point, the sound of the train passing over the tracks disappeared, along with the subtle vibrations that occurred during its journey.
The difference from his mundane and numb life made him feel as if he had returned to his youth.
He started to get excited.
The last time he did this was in 7th grade, when he independently disassembled and rebuilt the Starbolt, developed by the Cosmic Broom Company.
It's the cheapest racing broom ever made, and it's very fast.
With this achievement, he successfully entered the Cosmic Broom Company.
However, the Starbolt's weakness—its reduced speed and ascent ability over time—was quickly exposed.
With his company bankrupt, he could only get into the Ministry of Magic through the introduction of a junior he looked down upon.
The sparse conversations coming from outside the carriage pulled him from his reverie.
It seems he wasn't the only one who noticed something was wrong.
There were so few people on the train that he only just realized it.
Wrong!
He suddenly remembered that there were four people in the opposite carriage.
It's because... it's the sound of water, the sound of water?!
He quickly looked out the window.
The fog on the window had disappeared, replaced by a strange, dark, and hazy scene.
The train drove into the water!
The undulating, tangled jungle of black aquatic plants, the wide, flat mud and sand scattered with Winky pebbles, and the strange, fish-like aquatic creatures swimming by all confirmed his guess.
"Should I give it a try?" he asked himself.
For a long time, he almost forgot that he was Gryffindor student.
My hand was already on the train window.
Bang!
The car window was opened.
Whew!
A fresh breeze blew in from outside.
That thing, whether it was a lake or a sea, was obscured by an invisible membrane.
The Slytherin Common Room immediately came to mind.
The walls are transparent, so you can see the bottom of the Black Lake; that's how it must be.
He once briefly regretted that he couldn't go there to feast his eyes on the sights.
But now, my dream has come true!
"Please remain calm and try not to open the windows. We are already in contact with the Ministry of Magic."
The sound echoed through the train.
"The Ministry of Magic?" Carter scoffed.
"They've already gone home from get off work."
"Huh! What's this—"
The body, which had been leaning forward, suddenly leaned back.
Just as he was about to wonder, he realized that his carriage, or rather the entire train, had left the water.
They are going up.
"Everyone, please hold on tight to the handrails, we're going up!"
The train conductor's voice rang out again.
The thin film disappeared.
Cold air rushed in.
Carter had no time to regret opening the window.
He quickly leaned over the window and looked down.
The fiery red train resembled a long snake leaping out of the water.
The waves stirred up, disturbing the moon's reflection.
[Perception Enhancement]
Activate the Enhanced Senses Charm!
After years of repair work, he no longer needed the magic wand.
Looking down to the horizontal plane, it stretches as far as the eye can see.
"Have we stumbled into another dimension?"
"The legendary Avalon?"
Carter was getting a headache from the neighbor's child's crying.
But it feels more like an epic.
He seemed to have become a part of a fantasy story, and the tedious and boring maintenance work was a thing of the past.
This enjoyment lasts only a short time.
Because a very familiar three-story house came into his field of vision.
Looking around, familiar buildings such as Devis-Bans, Elegant Wizard Robes, Honeydukes, Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop, Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop Shrieking Shack, Scream Shack, Hog's Head Inn, the Three Broomsticks, and Zonko's Joke Shop came into view.
"This is Hogsmeade Village."
"I'm home?" Carter said, both amused and exasperated.
The train did indeed stop above Hogsmeade Village.
"Ladies and gentlemen, has the train arrived at its destination?" The train conductor's voice on the loudspeaker sounded somewhat uncertain, suggesting he himself was quite surprised.
"Dumbledore? You mean the orbit hasn't disappeared?"
"Just invisible? No? Existing and not existing?"
"That means as long as we keep driving, we can get back."
"Everyone, wait a minute, let me find out first."
A jarring announcement cut off echoed throughout the train.
A few minutes later, it rang again.
"Gentlemen, I have asked Dumbledore and found out."
"Dumbledore has cast Cushioning Charm on the entirety of Hogsmeade."
"Let me explain here that it can produce an invisible softening effect on the surface of the target."
It is also known as the Cushioning Charm.
"This spell has been used in the making of Flying Broomstick for many years and is very reliable."
"So once the doors open, everyone can jump out directly."
Carter was already heartbroken when he heard that he could go straight home.
Then, he jumped down with the crowd, expressionless.
The strange sensation of floating weightlessly onto the stone ground did not cause any change in his expression.
He only knows one thing.
He has to go to work tomorrow!
Merlin's Beard!
What a nightmare!
Let's go back in time to before Dumbledore saw that he was surrounded by the sea.
Manstein frowned; he instantly understood what Dumbledore meant.
Dumbledore's superficial thinking completely disarmed him.
He can easily invade and sense everything.
This was part of their play.
"Albus, do you mean the entire school, and even Hogsmeade Village, has been moved?"
"Are we currently adrift in the Pacific Ocean, or perhaps we've been transported directly to another world?"
Manstein so excited that he blurted out his thoughts.
For a time, he had always worried that wizards would be defeated by Muggle.
If they are indeed in another world, then it means that wizards no longer need to worry about the threat from Muggle.
The only concern is the entrance and exit—whether the magic of light, as Harry Potter speaks of, will be easily popularized.
If so, every wizard who learns it must be bound by an "Unbreakable Vow" to prevent the world from being revealed to Muggle.
