Friends' Data

After a brief moment of silence for Harry, Basil walked to the window, admiring his Hogwarts.

He began to focus his mind, processing the things he'd forgotten last night—checking his friends' data.

Especially Hermione's and the others'.

He clicked on Ron's first.

[Name: Ron Weasley]

[Race: Wizard]

[HP: 9]

[Magic Power: 5]

[Luck: 3-6]

[Family Traits: Red Hair & Freckles (Awakened), Large Family - Weak (Awakened), Spell Mastery]

Basil's urge to complain surged.

Wizards' Magic Power ranged from 3-7.

Most first-year wizards hovered around 3-5, while older students were between 4-7.

"This Magic Power is already higher than some weak upperclassmen!"

"Unbelievable, the Weasley family just knows how to reproduce, right!"

He then clicked on the Weasley twins' avatars. "? How did they both get the Alchemy Mastery talent?"

"Could there be hidden talents that don't manifest?"

"Their Large Family talent doesn't have the 'Weak' indicator."

Next was Harry.

[Name: Harry Potter]

[Race: Wizard]

[HP: 7]

[Magic Power: 10]

[Luck: 4-9]

[Family Traits: Messy Short Hair (Awakened), Parseltongue (Awakened), Spell Mastery, Potions Mastery - Weak]

"Without the [Grimoire] bonus, I'm only at 7, and Harry has 10!"

"But in the second movie, how did Draco Malfoy's spell affect Harry when it went over 10 Magic Resistance?"

"Was it the malice during the casting?"

"Spell Mastery?"

"In the books, spells are divided into 7 categories: Transfiguration, Charm, Jinx, Hex, Curse, Counter-spell, and Healing spell."

"Based on the wizard data I've compiled, the system divides spells into two categories: Rational spells (Transfiguration) and Emotional spells (Charms, Dark Magic, White Magic)."

"Harry's Spell Mastery, the Dark Magic part probably comes from Voldemort. James Potter was very skilled in Transfiguration, and Spell Mastery is a common talent in wizarding families. White Magic is likely due to the sacrificial protection Lily placed on Harry with her love?"

"Did they synthesize the Spell Mastery talent together?"

"No wonder Harry Potter and Ron were slacking off all the time in the movies, yet their grades didn't suffer."

"But... the Potter family, whose ancestors created multiple potion recipes, only has a weak Potions Mastery talent through inheritance?"

"No wonder their descendants didn't delve deeper into the field of potions."

"What about Neville? He's practically the second savior in the prophecy."

He clicked on Neville's avatar.

[Name: Neville Lumbaton]

[Race: Wizard]

[HP: 10]

[Magic Power: 7]

[Luck: 4-7]

[Family Traits: Round Face (Awakened), Sword Mastery, Spell Mastery]

"Magical boy with a round face, got it."

"With such high Magic Power, why is his performance so poor?"

"Just like it's written in the books, Magic Power is only hardware. Personal will, articulation, and accurate wand movements are all essential software."

"He really is the Gryffindor Sword Saint. His ancestors were probably knights."

"Let's check Hagrid."

[Name: Rubeus Hagrid]

[Race: Half-Giant Wizard]

[HP: 20]

[Magic Power: 7]

[Luck: 3-5]

[Family Traits: Affinity with Magical Creatures (Awakened), Half-Giant Physique (Awakened), Spell Mastery - Weak]

[Note: Half-Giant Physique, Magic Resistance = Magic Power x 2]

"Good meat, 7 Magic Power? Is his magical talent that good?"

"Hmm, but it might be due to his age. A wizard's Magic Power increases with age. The Magic Power data I previously obtained, 3-7, was sampled from students."

"Let's look at Hermione's, the 'Spell Doctor' is so overpowered."

[Name: Hermione Granger]

[Race: First Generation Wizard]

[HP: 7]

[Magic Power: 4]

[Luck: 4-7]

[Trait: Master of All Magic]

[Note: First Generation Wizards are darlings of magic; learning spells is not limited by Magic Power values. Entry difficulty is determined by one's own logical thinking, intelligence, and willpower.]

"First Generation Wizard? Literally, the first generation of wizards."

"Unlike the settings in most fanfiction, wizards weren't born from mating with magical creatures?"

"Is it that Hermione is a raw gem, passed down?"

"Ridiculous, I thought First Generation Wizards were supposed to be awesome!"

"That's right, Hermione is so powerful also because she's a 'know-it-all'."

"Magic Power value limits? Does it mean some high-consumption Spell Cards correspond to spells that wizards with low Magic Power can't even begin to learn?"

"Hermione and Neville are complete opposites. One has poor hardware, the other has poor software. But Hermione's First Generation Wizard trait, [Master of All Magic], compensates for the hardware issue. She can start learning spells with insufficient Magic Power, and can even cast spells that require high Magic Power. It's just that the power will be weaker than wizards who normally meet the requirements."

"However, based on the spells I've learned so far, according to the [Grimoire] panel, none of them consume more than 4 Magic Power. Hermione's is more than enough."

"The panels of these characters, who are considered high-weight in the world, are indeed more interesting than the data collected from the extras at the train station."

"When can I make friends with Dumbledore? I really want to see his data."

Basil marveled inwardly.

But Ron's voice came from behind him.

"Basil?"

This marked the end of Basil's work time.

He had originally planned to spend 5,000 Gems to extract the [Echoes] of Harry, Ron, Neville, Hagrid, and Draco Malfoy for examination.

Basil stretched and turned his head.

Ron rubbed his eyes as he got out of bed, "Harry's up too? Or did he not come back all night?"

At the same time, his other hand familiarized itself with stroking Scabbers' fat belly.

Basil's eyes lit up.

Scabbers! Peter Pettigrew!

He currently had just over ten thousand Gems.

Creating the [Echoes] for Harry and the others would cost about half of that.

If Peter Pettigrew's identity were exposed.

Sirius Black would be released early?

It would be at least a few thousand!

Tens of thousands wasn't impossible!

After all, Voldemort's later rise was due to Peter Pettigrew finding him!

"Don't look at my rat!" Ron stuffed Scabbers into his pocket, "I fed Fanta for you last night, along with Hedwig!"

"Hey!" Basil was furious.

Fanta was his brother, a family he grew up with.

"Animals that have formed a contract with wizards, apart from not being able to speak, possess human-like intelligence to some extent. Due to their own magical magnetic fields, they treat other wizards' pets more like their own kind."

"This is also true between natural enemies like cats and mice."

Ron still glanced warily at Fanta, who was pretending to be asleep in his open cage, "But your owl isn't like that."

"I just found out that owls also eat rats. I thought they only ate nuts!"

"Yesterday, after I dug out the dried rat you mentioned, Fanta and Hedwig's eyes both turned green."

"Scabbers must have been terrified too."

"That's because—" Basil didn't know how to explain it.

Could he say that his owl Fanta had the bloodline of a Thunderbird, that wizard pets with magical creature bloodlines were smarter and could tell that Scabbers was human? Because Scabbers was human, he actually didn't have a contract with Ron, and Ron would still get fat if he ate too much of Ron's food?

He could only glare at Ron impatiently and casually say, "Harry and I both have snowy owls. Besides the advantage of longevity—compared to the 3-5 year lifespan of smaller owls, they can live for over 20 years, up to 35 years at most. They also have a characteristic: their main diet is rats, and they only eat rats with fur."
