"Ahhh, Harry! You've got the wrong target. It might be Diggory, but not the Diggory of this world."
Looking at the confident expressions of the four people in the picture, Ron couldn't help but complain.
"I don't understand," Hermione said, stroking her chin. "At least Harry shouldn't have. In his eyes, Cedric's suspicion should have been cleared long ago. He comes from the world of ordinary people and doesn't have a contract. How could he be deceived by Voldemort, the leader of the student gang?"
"However, what I'm most curious about is why Riddle from that world didn't reclaim that part of his soul."
"Perhaps they think that part of the soul is too stupid?" Ginny said irritably.
She still couldn't get over the shadow of Harry's crush on Phoebe.
Especially now that Harry, Krum, and Phoebe are always together, and Phoebe is so beautiful and outstanding, what will happen then?
In the video, Harry sneezes.
"Let's not dawdle any longer. Let's head to the Charms classroom first."
"That works too," Krum said, and a Golden Snitch flew back into his sleeve.
While pausing to chat, he handed his body over to the Prewett Brothers to control, releasing a spirit within the body. Using the spirit's shared and more sensitive senses, he spied on Cedric ahead of the group.
Furthermore, by using their two bodies as an advantage, they blocked Harry and Phoebe's view of the Golden Snitch.
Phoebe didn't notice this, and simply said "okay" like a leader, before leading the way into the group.
On the surface, there are four people, but in reality, each of the three-person teams has their own ulterior motives.
Although Harry, due to his prejudice against Malfoy, overlooked the matter of the contract and believed that Edward, also known as Cedric, was the Dark Magic Fairy.
However, he also concealed the fact that the Magic Fairy Colorful Stone was actually the sealed gang leader Voldemort.
He then recounted his first-year experiences to Phoebe and Krum.
Therefore, in the eyes of Phoebe and Krum, the Magic Fairy Colorful Stone is the Philosopher's Stone of this world, the kind with a very high level of prestige.
Krum, meanwhile, kept a Golden Snitch hovering outside his body, trying to get more information over Harry and Phoebe.
Although I haven't received any crucial information yet, I believe that if I continue like this, I will eventually gain something.
Phoebe discovered the usefulness of Baidu and found multiple versions of the story of the Magic Fairy Colorful Stone (released by Riddle of this world to Confundus Charm).
Combining the available information and her existing knowledge, she pieced together what she considered to be the most 'true' story.
Because Slytherin himself is still alive in this world.
Gaunt even had the surname Slytherin.
Under the supervision of Slytherin ancestors, the originally neurotic Gaunt wasn't so neurotic.
Despite being a descendant of Slytherin and taking his father's surname, Isolt Thayer did not suffer the consequences of his aunt Gormlaith Gaunt burning his parents to death, being imprisoned and not allowed to attend school, and eventually running away to America to found Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
For fairies with Magic Immortal Artifact, magic wands are simply outdated items.
Therefore, the most legendary Slytherin wand left to his descendants, which seemed to be alive and could be controlled by Parseltongue, was the wand that Gormlaith Gaunt, who later attacked, used Parseltongue to put her into a deep sleep and eventually buried it in the school grounds. The Snakewood that grew from it, which had a leaf with strong healing properties, also does not exist in this world.
In this world, Isolt Thayer Gormlaith Gaunt are no longer famous figures.
Gormlaith Gaunt's power relies on her extremism and Slytherin's wand.
Isolt Thayer was a laid-back witch who was content with the status quo. Without her aunt's pressure, she would probably be enjoying life to the fullest.
However, their names, Isolt Slytherin and Gormlaith Slytherin, appear in the story of the Magic Fairy Colorful Stone.
Also appearing was the Slytherin treasure— the Magic Fairy Colorful Stone itself.
It only reacts to powerful serpentine spirits, and contains the secret to Slytherin's becoming a pillar of society.
This is why she believed that Edward Cullen was the Dark Magic Fairy.
Or perhaps it's the key that the Dark Magic Fairy used to open the treasure.
However, she did not tell Harry and Krum about the 'true' story she had pieced together and Baidu's use for it.
She didn't think the two of them would be her match, but she wouldn't actively remind them of things that she could discover on her own by simply broadening her thinking.
Cedric, whom all four considered to be the Dark Magic Fairy in the mission, had already decided to befriend him and melt the iceberg with his passionate heart.
He was only focused on studying and saving his other self, and unknowingly surpassed the other Champion by a large margin.
However, what he needs to do right now is finish his Charms.
The professor's curse was cast on the unusually small wizard, Professor Flitwick, who, due to his height, floated in mid-air before he could reach the lectern.
He introduced himself in a sharp voice, called out names, and then began the main topic of the day.
"Class, have you ever thought about what we're going to learn in Charms?"
Hermione immediately raised her hand, "Learn how to communicate with the pillars!"
"Not entirely." He shook his head. "If we're talking about borrowing power, wouldn't it be a better choice to directly approach the two great deities who are the pillars?"
"You must understand that sometimes it's not the stronger the source of your strength, the better."
"You can only serve one of the great Balala and the Guna La Goddess of Darkness."
"Even if they don't care, their power is the sun itself, allowing no shadows."
"In that case, you would be the most authentic White Magic Fairy Dark Magic Fairy."
"What I'm going to teach you is the Blue Magic Fairy from before the Fairy Era, when she was still a blasphemous priest, who wandered among the old gods, stealing their power to grow her own wisdom."
"Can you teach me how to Gryffindor?" Draco asked eagerly.
He couldn't wait to use Gryffindor's power to teach Potter.
Coincidentally, Harry, a first-year student, asked the question at almost the same time, only a beat later.
How should Salazar Slytherin be contracted?
The two exchanged a glance, snorted simultaneously, and turned to look in the other direction.
Flitwick was not surprised that someone asked him that question.
In fact, after Ravenclaw developed the technique of forcibly inviting a 'god' to possess them and have the 'god' fight on their behalf, based on borrowing power, countless students have thought about directly asking their opponent's ancestor or the old god they worship to possess them and teach their opponent a lesson.
But he forced a straight face and said, "Forgive my bluntness, but this is the most foolish thing to do."
"Although the blasphemy has become formalized, out of respect for the great Balala and the Guna La Goddess of Darkness, the pillars of ordinary power will not refuse to borrow from them. The blasphemy priests, also known as Blue Magic Fairy, no longer need to steal, cheat, or rob, risking their lives."
"But while ensuring safety, the pillars also lost the desire to actively lend money."
"They voluntarily lent money to wizards before because they were thinking of recovering the wizards' bodies after they died."
"Even if there are bad loans like those against blasphemy priests, they actually don't lose money."
"They wouldn't even care if the borrower harbored blasphemous thoughts."
"But now, unless you have Ravenclaw's methods and wisdom, don't even think about having the mindset and pillar contract that Potter and Mr. Malfoy just had."
"This would not only offend a great being, but also bring no benefit."
"Blue Magic Fairy borrows power not for temporary strength, but to take advantage of this hard-won opportunity to grow herself."
"Professor, how exactly can we borrow this power?" Hermione raised her hand again.
"Increase your own value," Professor Flitwick said.
"This value is divided into innate and acquired. But the innate part is something most magic fairies can't achieve; it mainly depends on luck."
"If you're lucky, you're a descendant of a pillar. Even if you're an idiot, that pillar usually won't refuse to lend you their power."
"Or perhaps the power awakened by your Magic Immortal Artifact just happens to benefit the pillar."
"We are more concerned about the day after tomorrow."
"To increase one's presence in the eyes of those who want to borrow strength through hard work."
"Then if I just marry a descendant of a pillar as my wife, would that be considered hard work?" Seamus teased.
Laughter erupted in the classroom instantly.
"Good idea." Professor Flitwick couldn't help but chuckle, and did not reprimand Seamus.
He continued, following up on Seamus's idea, "But the prerequisite for doing this is that you yourselves are good enough."
"Therefore, instead of looking for the descendants of the pillar, it is better to go directly to the pillar himself and not let the middleman make a profit."
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic." Professor Flitwick's smile faded.
"What you need to understand first is why the pillars lend us their strength, and what they will receive in return."
"In the past, they would have had everything I had."
"And now?"
"At this point, we have to mention the spirits, which is the secret of magic itself."
The Magic Treasure Book in the Little Magic Fairy's hand immediately started making a tinkling sound.
"You may now open your treasure books."
"Click to view the first three pages of 'Flitwick's Magic' that I sent you."
"I'll give you ten minutes. Please watch carefully."
"I'll ask them a question later."
Upon hearing this, all the Little Magic Fairy immediately lowered their heads, opened their emails, and began to read the contents of the files.
Even Ron, who was always lost in thought, was no exception.
Ten minutes later, Professor Flitwick cleared his throat, floated up from his chair, and his head reappeared in front of everyone over the lectern.
"Mr. Cullen, please answer this question: what do the pillars gain from the fairies' borrowing activities?"
Cedric stood up. "Our information and energy."
"Our magic actually contains our information."
Professor Flitwick lowered his hand, which was about to call for a stop.
Cedric continued, "In reality, when we chant spells, it's a form of borrowing, but the information and energy that the being whose name is mentioned receives in this way are negligible; most of it is used for the spell itself."
"At most, they can gain experience from our spellcasting."
"By borrowing energy through a pact with a pillar, we dedicate most of our magic power to the corresponding pillar."
"In this situation, he can not only gain energy, but also gain more information."
"Very good!" As Professor Flitwick clapped, the others in the classroom also clapped.
Draco was particularly aggressive, giving Harry a provocative look.
"Slytherin 10 points! He digests complex knowledge in a short time and translates it into simple and easy-to-understand language, and it's so comprehensive."
"It seems you have talent not only in the realm of Red Magic Fairy."
"Sit down."
Cedric sat down.
Professor Flitwick continued, "Mr. Cullen has already explained it very clearly, so I won't repeat myself."
"You should understand now that the more excellent and wise you are, the more precious your magic and the information within it will be."
"You can also borrow more strength from the pillars."
"However, you must understand that everyone's definition of excellence is different."
"Not to mention the powerful and unfathomable pillars."
"Master the pillars of the fire domain. The more proficient you are in Incendio, the more outstanding you will be in its eyes."
"While we cannot rule out the possibility that some people want to apply their knowledge to other areas or accept any support they receive, such people are only a minority."
"Most others have long since passed this stage."
"Of the seventy-two pillars, only thirteen have this tendency."
"Therefore, the safest approach is to find the pillar from which you want to draw strength and improve yourself in the direction that he needs."
Upon hearing that even borrowing strength requires effort, Ron's face immediately fell. He raised his hand as if to ask if there was a way without effort, but the words that came out of his mouth immediately changed to something else. "What if the direction required by that support happens to be something we're not good at?"
"What I mean is that, due to their natural talents and personality, each fairy is destined to spend ten or a hundred times more effort than other fairies in certain areas to achieve the same progress."
"That's one of the values of spells," Professor Flitwick said with a smile. "We can only find our most suitable domain by unleashing Magic Immortal Artifact. Spells, on the other hand, allow us to find our suitable domain and then, based on our own circumstances, find the corresponding support to borrow power."
"Of course, most of you will not follow the path of Blue Magic Fairy and will use power as the main way to strengthen yourselves."
"However, whether one single-mindedly serves two great beings, drawing power and wisdom from nature, or directly focuses on the Magic Immortal Artifact, exploring one's own potential and further perfecting it."
"Without exception, they cannot escape the existence of the curse."
"These are the languages of communication with great power, vast nature, and your own self, the most primal and direct means of cultivating your own magic."
"It is even the power itself."
"For the next half of the lesson, I will teach you a spell."
"I mean the real spell."
Harry instantly recalled what Neville had said when he first arrived in this world: that directly uttering a spell would be fatal.
"Making a contract with a pillar, or simply borrowing its power, is not something you first-year Little Magic Fairy can do. Your fairy bodies are not strong enough to actively transmit your requests to the Cloud Realm."
"Making a pact with the spell itself is what you beginners should learn."
Professor Flitwick chuckled mischievously. It seemed he had wanted to tell this news for a long time, but had kept it to himself for fear of affecting the students' learning mood.
"After the Herbology and the Care of Magical Creatures Class, your magic should also be up to standard."
"At least it won't be life-threatening; at most, it might cause a nosebleed."
Seeing that everyone was taking it seriously, he cleared his throat and said, "Repeat after me [Lumos]!"
I've been feeling unwell lately, with headaches, dizziness, coughing, and body aches.
I don't know if it's because the weather suddenly turned cold or because it's sunny again.
I apologize to all readers for the poor reading experience this has caused.
