The Sudden Mission Settlement

When I woke up the next day, it was already dusk.

Harry yawned and rubbed his lower back.

He finally understood the terrifying allure of witches.

Yesterday he almost forgot everything, completely immersed in pleasure.

As he woke up, Roan, wearing slippers, trotted over to Harry's side.

Unlike Harry, who was visibly weak, even though it was their first time and they were exhausted, Roan, Harley, Draco all had rosy cheeks and looked radiant.

"You're awake." Roan casually sat sideways on his lap. "Are you hungry? I'll take you to the kitchenette."

(As Harry put on his clothes, the screen that had been black finally lit up.)

(Looking at the messy bed and clothes and underwear flying everywhere, many viewers couldn't help but start to have all sorts of wild thoughts.)

("Harry's been so vigorous, from 10 pm last night to 7:30 pm now," Arthur Weasley thought to himself, exhausted from his sex life in his middle age.)

"What's a kitchenette?" Harry asked, then looked around. "Where are Harley and Draco?"

He had barely finished speaking when the door creaked open.

The main door that led to the spiral staircase was opened, but what appeared before Harry was a steamy bathroom, and Harley and Draco dressed in their bathrobes in a relaxed manner.

"What's going on?" Harry rubbed his eyes again, wondering if he was seeing things.

Roan grinned slyly and walked to the door, starting to enter numbers into what looked like an old-fashioned dial phone.

"Our tower's number is 7, and the kitchenette is number 3. Just enter 73." Roan opened the door again, and what Harry saw was not a spiral staircase and a bathroom, but a kitchen that smelled of grease and smoke.

"Okay, we'll be at the small kitchen soon."

Draco leaned on Harry's shoulder. "This is the Anywhere Door. Every building and room in the Peverell family has its own number. Just enter the corresponding number, and you can go to the corresponding room after pushing the door open."

Harley put his arm around Harry and added, "Some rooms, like our bedroom and the walk-in closet, require the room owner's permission in addition to entering the correct numbers—by phone."

"Ah," Harry looked at the telephone-like thing again, "It really does function as a telephone."

Speaking of Harry and Harley, Draco went into the small kitchen.

Steaming hot food was already laid out in the center of the small kitchen, and the four of them began to enjoy their meal.

(Hermione frowned. "I remember that the Transfiguration in this world also follows the 'Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration' just like in our world, and it's impossible to conjure food out of thin air. It's not quite at the level of creation magic that the Magic Immortal World can call it.")

(Basil wanted to curse. The movie world is different from the novel. There's no Winky in it, so Hermione didn't really understand the House-elf and thought they were slaves oppressed by wizards. That's why she didn't form any House-elf liberation movement.)

(But now, it seems it can't be hidden any longer.)

(As expected, Ron looked smug. He rarely encountered a situation where Hermione didn't know, but he did. "You didn't know? The food in the kitchen is provided by House-elf. They take pride in doing all the chores without ever appearing before the wizards.")

("There's a saying that goes, the mark of a good House-elf is that you have no idea it exists.")

("House-elf?" Hermione suddenly realized; she had also heard about it in the live stream—the wizards' lounge in this world was near the kitchen.)

(This caused a frenzy at the time—people went straight to the kitchen to eat, and the House-elf were reportedly overjoyed.)

(But she didn't pay attention; her spirit spent more time on the lessons in the live stream, which is why she was able to convert all the magic spell cards she had mastered so smoothly.)

(Thinking of this, Hermione yawned and casually asked, "With so many House-elf, do they have holidays? Sick leave? Do they have pensions?")

(Ron laughs heartily, shaking off the melancholy of being married to 'himself,' "Sick leave and pensions? They don't even need wages! Let alone sick leave and pensions! You don't mean every House-elf is Dobby, do you? What you're saying will only make them feel bad, think they've insulted their master, and want to commit suicide.")

(Hermione looked down at the bare dining table, seemingly trying to find some plates of food, and pushed them aside to show her determination.)

(Unfortunately, she came up empty-handed, and soon realized that it was past dinner time, so she would have to wait until tomorrow.)

(So all she could do was stomp her feet, pound the table, and breathe heavily, "This is how we get our food. Slave labor.")

("And that's not all," Ron added, "Their service also covered our beds, our dirty clothes, and our carpets.")

(Basil glanced at the furious Hermione, knowing that the foolish SPEW seemed poised to Human World in this movie.)

(He felt his aversion to stupidity was about to flare up.)

(Before meeting Madison and reading the Harry Potter novels, he viewed SPEW, the House-elf' liberation movement whom Rowling jokingly called the "S.P.E.W." movement, with a degree of approval. Liberating the oppressed was indeed something that should be done.)

(It wasn't until he read the novel that he understood what "sanctimonious hypocrite" behavior meant.)

(First, she refused to investigate, never once went to the kitchen to talk to the victims, and directly and subjectively concluded that the House-elf were uneducated and had been indoctrinated with some wrong ideas.)

(Secondly, she pushes potential neutrals and even sympathizers to the opposite side. Given that only ancient and wealthy wizarding families own House-elf, she only promotes this in the Gryffindor Common Room. Her method is still to create a few useless badges to morally blackmail others—endlessly pestering people every night in the Gryffindor Common Room, vigorously shaking her piggy bank under their noses. Anyone who doesn't know better would think she's using this to swindle money.)

(Again, she always ends up hindering the House-elf and adding to their workload. If she truly felt sorry for House-elf, she should clean their rooms and cook for them herself. But she didn't; instead, she knitted hats and socks, hiding them in the Gryffindor Tower in the hope that the House-elf would find them and then—set them free.)

(From then on, she didn't contact the people who actually made the decisions. The House-elf of Hogwarts belonged to the school; if she really wanted to do something, she should have gone to the Headmaster's Office to talk to Dumbledore about SPEW and the House-elf- elves at Hogwarts. But she still didn't. Dumbledore, who was actually in charge, was willing to pay for the House-elf's needs, provide them with holidays, allow Dobby to negotiate with him, and didn't mind if the House-elf spoke ill of him behind his back. But when Hermione found out, she only bitterly complained that Dumbledore given enough.)

(Finally, never consider the essence of House-elf are not respected—respect comes from the ability to hurt each other.)

(It can only be said that Hermione received too little Muggle education; otherwise, how could the British, as beneficiaries of the global colonization, draw such a naive conclusion despite knowing history?)

(Hermione was unaware that Basil was secretly criticizing her. She completely ignored the live broadcast in her mind and stormed off to the library, ready to do something.)

(And just like that, two days passed in the blink of an eye.)

Harry, Draco, Roan, Harley returned to Hogwarts.

It's worth mentioning that, on the last day of the holiday, which was yesterday, Cho Chang and Cedric got married in a hurry.

Cho Chang came from Muggle family, and his parents had a bad relationship, making him practically an orphan.

Cedric an orphan in this world too.

So, while the guests from Hogwarts were still on the ship, the two got married right there in Harry and Harley's place.

And they consummated their marriage immediately.

(Cho Chang, who had expected to see Cedric and another Cho Chang's wedding fall through, was stunned.)

(Ginny's mood improved a lot.)

Finally, Hogwarts gained another newlywed couple.

However, not long after Harry and Cedric returned to the common room, that familiar voice rang in the ears of all the Champion.

[The quest "[Prevent Voldemort from destroying the Mother-Child River]" has been completed. Now, proceed with the settlement.]

Harry and Cedric immediately left the wizard lounge and headed towards their brides.

Cedric is fine; he just needs to run to the Ravenclaw Common Room.

Harry, on the other hand, had to run between two lounges.

Krum and Phoebe were completely bewildered, but Phoebe soon received a message from Harry's Bible, instructing her to take Harley and Roan to the Slytherin Common Room to meet them there.

(Cho Chang's eyes widened in fury. Just one more day. If the mission had ended a day earlier, Cedric wouldn't have married his other self and consummated their marriage.)

[Champion: Fleur Delacour, Heroic Spirits: Ariana Dumbledore]

As before, a box that only they could see popped up in front of the four of them.

All the key scenes of Phoebe in this world began to flash by.

When Draco approaches, he is the first to learn about the Mother-Child River and the fact that witches can have offspring, triggering an explanation of the world's lore and informing all the Champion of the quest. He then finds the location of the Chamber of Secrets and guesses the activation phrase.

[Conclusion: Task contribution percentage: 15%]

"How is that possible!" Phoebe had already completed Harry's instructions and was now resting on the sofa in the common room, jumped up abruptly.

She stole the Sorting Hat and even cast a very complex protective spell on it.

Why isn't it showing up in the settlement screen?

(Dumbledore remained calm; now the whole world knew that Harry was the winner.)

(Moreover, the performance this time was much better than last time, when the contribution to the Phoebe Mission was only 5%.)

(The celebrations have already begun in Beauxbatons.)

Cedric and Krum had a bad feeling.

However, Cedric didn't care at all; he was holding Cho Chang tightly, and she was the only one in his heart.

(Cho Chang couldn't help but gloat.)

[Champion: Cedric Diggory, Heroic Spirits: Tom Riddle]

The images within the box change.

I learned from Cho Chang about the Salem Witch optimization event, the status of male witches in this world, and their effects on female witches.

I learned from Percy why Voldemort destroyed the Mother-Child River.

He learns from Neville that the Mother-Child River is everywhere, with its core at Hogwarts. He marries Cho Chang, smiling, and says, "I agree," followed by a kiss.

(Dumbledore stroked his chin. Was Cedric's wedding also one of the reasons Riddle abandoned his goal?)

[Conclusion: Task contribution percentage: 10%]

Cedric was mentally prepared.

It's normal to have gains and losses. Last time, his contribution to the task accounted for 59%. If the final reward points for both tasks were 1000, he might not be considered to be lagging behind.

However, he had no time to think about these things at the moment and ignored the suspicious point of why there were scenes of his own wedding in the wedding footage.

Cedric's eyes were filled with sadness as he reluctantly inhaled the scent of Cho Chang.

In Cedric's Magic Immortal Artifact Mind Stone, the room where Riddle was staying was shrouded in dark clouds, and a torrential rain began to fall.

[Champion: Harry Potter, Heroic Spirits: Lily Potter]

The main character in the picture has changed to Harry.

First, learn about the background of Hogwarts, the difference between male and female witches, and the existence of spell cards.

I learned from Neville that the Mother-Child River is everywhere, with its core at Hogwarts.

(The audience wasn't surprised; this information was obtained from Neville by Harry, his two friends, and himself—all three of them had it.)

Extract information from Hagrid, control Hagrid, capture Demiguise, sneak into the Headmaster's Office at night, retrieve the Sorting Hat from the Pensieve, and find the Basilisk.

Finally, images of Harry's wedding appeared, along with his playful antics with Roan and the others during a walk in the manor.

(Ginny felt a pang of sadness, but also a tiny bit of resentment.)

(But only a tiny bit; she hated more the Roan Draco of this world.)

(And Harley, she loved everything about the house because of it.)

(Harry wasn't just a boyfriend to her; he was also the hero she'd idolized since childhood, the brave knight who saved her from Riddle's clutches in the Diary.)

The conclusion is that the task's contribution accounted for 67%.

Harry, who had already met up with Draco and the other two and was currently getting along well, frowned. It wasn't surprising that he received such high praise.

Strangely, why is getting married and enjoying a happy married life considered a key element in accomplishing the mission?

After such thoughts flashed through his mind, he was still overcome with grief. The completion of the mission also meant his separation from Roan and the others.

(Ginny started berating herself because she had actually begun to feel sorry for Harry.)

(Hermione noticed that she was focusing more on herself than on the newly built SPEW. Basil, in a rare good mood, added a custom item that Harry and Cedric could afford in the Shop.)

Krum and Phoebe's mouths twitched; they could figure it out even with their feet— the Sorting Hat they were protecting was fake.

Cedric is still Cho Chang.

[Champion: Viktor Krum, Heroic Spirits: The Prewett Brothers]

The main subject of the scene changes again.

The first to know the allure of an adult witch, the term "witch" was learned from Neville. The "Mother-Child River" is omnipresent, its core in Hogwarts. Phoebe and I enter the Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, diving into the water to find the activation key.

[Conclusion: Task contribution percentage: 8%]

Krum sighed. Although he had expected to get the lowest score, he still couldn't help feeling down.

(The Durmstrang students also sighed.)

[Countdown begins now, consider this as the world's remaining time—59:59]

[After time resets to zero, the system will enter the settlement phase, where rewards will be distributed.]
