Slughorn stood up, his bald head Winky in the candlelight, his large belly, clad in a vest, casting a deep shadow on the table.

He was greeted with enthusiastic applause.

Over the past month, people have not only learned that he was born in Slytherin, but also that he is not Pure-blood, and that many students from poor families and Muggle World backgrounds have risen to prominence with his and his Slug Club's help.

Every student thought they were next.

Who wouldn't like an angel investor like that? They don't care about your background or take advantage of you. As long as you have a skill or have gained some fame through unconventional means, they will pave the way for you and introduce you to connections.

Snape didn't get up; he just raised his right hand with a lazy smile.

However, only Slytherin cheered on his side.

In addition, Harry reluctantly clapped a few times under his mother's watchful eye, and Snape's gaze swept over him, his face showing even more smugness.

Dumbledore continued, "Well, that's all I have to say. Your beds await you, as warm and comfortable as you've hoped."

"Your most important task right now is to get some rest and prepare for class tomorrow. So, let's say 'goodnight'."

As usual, benches were pushed behind them, making a screeching sound, and hundreds of students began to file out of the Great Hall and head towards their dormitories.

Harry and Cedric were not in a hurry to return to the Rune Card World to rest.

Unless Cho Chang and Roan are not wearing clothes and cannot be broadcast live, everyone will be able to see their return.

Furthermore, they also need to keep Cho Chang and Ginny.

So, unlike the others, they took Ginny and Cho Chang and left the castle.

The professors on stage who noticed their actions remained silent.

The Champion and their girlfriends were not bound by school rules.

However, Basil disappeared directly from the castle.

The bloodline of the male sorcerer in the Rune Card World is not without its flaws. His excessively vigorous reproductive power, combined with the bestial nature of dragons, caused the modified Basil to shatter the rumors of his chastity in this world.

But Pansy, Hermione, Luna are not yet at the age where they should take that final step.

Therefore, he recently found a steady partner.

Not Phoebe, this girl is too arrogant and too competitive.

Not Narcissa Malfoy; in the movie version, she's just an ordinary middle-aged woman.

It's not Nymphadora Tonks. Although Nymphadora Tonks is versatile, her appearance in the movie version is too ordinary.

Kate Beckinsale, a name unknown to anyone in the Wizarding World.

In the Muggle World, she was just an ordinary Oxford University student who dropped out in her third year to pursue acting, always playing minor supporting roles. Her first leading role in a film was released this January, making her a third-tier actress.

However, for Basil, the woman he met by chance while drinking coffee in London reminded him of Selene, the vampire warrior goddess of the moon, wielding two guns in the dark and rainy night.

Why not take advantage of the other person's initiative to strike up a conversation?

However, she didn't know he was a wizard; she only knew he was a vampire, her shapeshifter.

Misled by Basil and through her own exploration, she came to believe that vampires are not afraid of sunlight, do not need to drink blood, and have no weaknesses to garlic or silver, and can even cast spells by having glowing fingers.

The reason it's been shrouded in such legend is because a group of humans, afflicted by a blood-sucking curse cast by a wizard, stigmatized real vampires.

Their race should be called the Moon Clan.

In fact, the vampire bloodline that Kate was given by Basil was a modified version of the vampires from the Twilight world.

They selected the best traits of unicorns and Fairy Tale Mage to create a new breed.

The first characteristic is that the skin does not Winky like diamonds under the sun, but it has a natural moon-white fluorescence, like the skin, blood and fur of a unicorn. This is not only good-looking, but also inherits the superb physical resistance of Twilight vampires, as well as the magic resistance of unicorns.

Secondly, it possesses a new power that combines the sacred magic of the unicorn with the emotional magic of the Fairy Tale Mage.

The human heart in this world is the soul itself.

The magic of emotions stirred by the heart, combined with the sacred power of the unicorn rooted in its blood, is the perfect union of the yang of the body and the yin of the soul.

It flows in the blood, is driven by emotions, and while it is sacred, it also hides a deep curse.

The curse connects the soul and the body, allowing the immortal body to dominate the soul, preventing the souls of short-lived humans from falling into a mental twilight due to the passage of time.

Finally, in terms of physical attributes, it also inherited the speed and strength of vampires from the Twilight world.

Overall, this can be considered one of Basil's masterpieces.

It was also Basil's exploration and experimentation with the method of immortality.

The transformation is seen as a second birth, a second life, and Selene, who uses the new name given to her by Basil, is the product of this experiment.

This was a choice based on reason, knowledge, and wisdom, and certainly not because Basil wanted to possess a true moon goddess who would glow at night.

Absolutely not!

The next morning, Basil was yawning.

Hermione kept spreading thick layers of jam on his bread.

Didn't you sleep well last night?

If you see something that glows, you too

Hermione's homemade sandwich made Basil feel a rare pang of guilt, as he was still lost in the lower realms of thought from the previous night, his mind beginning to wander to the higher realms.

"I was thinking about the Duelling Club." Basil lied skillfully, killing the guilt that had finally surfaced and transforming it into: it's for Hermione's own good, to give her a better option for immortality.

"The club?" Hermione recalled. "When I was walking down the second-floor corridor, I looked out the window and saw a huge tent not far from the greenhouse and Hagrid's cabin. That must have been the dueling grounds."

She stood up and looked around. "No wonder Ron wasn't eating. He must have gone somewhere else."

"Let's go take a look." Basil stood up.

As he stepped down the stone steps and onto the lawn, Hermione handed him a glass of milk. "Don't go on an empty stomach."

Basil turned her head and saw a jug of milk, a plate of smoked fish, and a fried egg floating above Hermione's head, following her forward.

Hermione stretched out her little hand, and the smoked fish was automatically pierced by the fork and landed in her hand. "Ah~"

Basil obediently opened his mouth.

Not far away, the area outside the tent was already crowded with people.

The majority of them were students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, who lived in the Forbidden Forest and by the lake.

Three minutes later, after finishing his food, Basil led Hermione toward the crowd.

Hermione was surprised to find that as they approached, the students in front of them would automatically jump to the left and right to let them pass.

After they walked past, the students jumped back to their original spot.

Putting aside the fact that these students could jump so high without even bending their knees, the important thing is that those students who did the standing side jumps seemed completely unaware of their movements, continuing to chat with their friends as if nothing had happened.

Just like the Knight Bus that doesn't care about Muggle buildings and just rampages around, what are some advanced uses of the Confundus Charm?

No, wizards possess their own magic.

The Knight Bus's reckless driving was also based on the fact that the driver had memorized the addresses of the wizard families and their gathering places along the route and deliberately avoided them.

Even the Knight Bus cannot make a wizard jump away automatically.

Knight Bus avoids this by using a compass that can collect the Magic Field to plan its route in advance, thus preventing it from crashing into wizards while recklessly driving around.

"What's going on?" Hermione asked Basil in a low voice.

She ignored Ron's greeting and the Acromantula that had been knocked back into the duelist's body by a Graphorn.

"Magic will automatically submit to higher forms of magic." Basil raised an eyebrow.

Hermione was about to ask further when she heard an exclamation, "The Hebridean Black!"

Magical Creature of level 5x!

She quickly looked at its opponent. It was only morning, and there wouldn't be a 4x-level duelist with ten years of experience so soon. The only opponent who could be a 5x-level opponent was someone of the same level.

"Acromantula?"

Hermione finally understood why she hadn't exclaimed in surprise.

Although the Acromantula is also a 5x level Magical Creature, it is too common in Hogwarts.

However, this does not mean it is weak.

Its sharp mouthparts, deadly Venom, and its leaping ability are its most powerful weapons.

Despite its opponent being a flying Hebridean Black, whose tent top, protected by the Undetectable Extension Charm, was nearly 300 feet off the ground—enough for Quidditch —and the lack of obstacles for it to climb or jump over, it easily dodged every dive of the Black Dragon.

The Acromantula, which is only 17 feet (more than 5 meters) long, kept turning and shifting, while the Hebridean Black, which is 30 feet (more than 9 meters) long, can fly and breathe fire, was at a disadvantage.

But this is not a matter of the Black Dragon's duelist skill level.

The Hebdiri Black Dragon is a fire-breathing dragon that lives on the Hebdiri Islands in Scotland.

More aggressive than the Common Welsh Green, which is native to the British Isles, each requires a territory of one hundred square miles.

For centuries, the McFasty Clan, who lived on the Hebrides, had maintained the tradition of caring for these warlike black dragons.

This duelist is a member of the McFasty Clan, who grew up alongside the Hebridean Black and is intimately familiar with their habits and fighting styles.

In fact, he performed quite well.

Every pounce was perfectly timed; instead of falling to the ground after a failed attack, it would lightly touch the ground and immediately turn and take flight, dodging the bites of the Acromantula.

The timing of the fire breath attack is also precise, chosen when the Acromantula's turning speed slows down.

When there is no way to dodge, you can quickly flip your body and use the shallow but razor-sharp spine on your back to face the enemy's attack.

However, the duelists of the Acromantula are even more skilled at manipulating it.

No matter how well the duelists of the Hebridean Black perform, they are still constrained by the Black Dragon's own abilities.

However, the duelist of the Acromantula has already mastered the trick of using his own magic to regenerate the giant spider's byproducts.

In other words, giant spiders can keep spinning silk and secreting Venom regardless of their physical strength.

All consumed duelists provide this.

However, the black dragon cannot breathe fire continuously and must conserve its energy.

Three minutes later, the spider Silk had firmly trapped the black dragon, like a moth caught in a spider web, and it no longer had the strength to breathe fire.

The winner has been decided.

The Hebridean Black, the Acromantula, and the Silk turned into Dotty blue light and disappeared from the field.

Some viewers who tried to collect the Silk as a souvenir regretted their decision, only to realize that it was the same thing as the Leprechaun's gold coins.

Amidst thunderous applause, the duelist of the Acromantula stepped off the fighting stage.

His fiery red hair gave him away.

"Fred? Or George?" Hermione raised an eyebrow.

While she was filled with doubt, another question melted away in her heart.

She had always been curious about who had such a high level of skill.

But the thought of Fred and George, who were like living, Bludger Beater, dispelled that doubt.

And only Fred and George, who have been researching comedic props and experimenting with countless byproducts of the Acromantula, could possibly master the trick of regenerating summoned byproducts with their own magic.

They were forced to develop this skill due to limited experimental materials.

"It's Fred," Basil answered without hesitation. "Fred always dominates between the two."

He also recognized the fluctuations in Fred's Magic Field.

The subsequent duels were not as exciting as this one.

The Acromantula is a true 5x level summon.

Only a minority of students possess a high-risk beast card-making certificate, or have legal control over a high-risk beast like the McFasty Clan.

Therefore, even though most Gryffindor students have an Acromantula.

They could only watch helplessly, or use summons of level 4x or lower to duel.

This is the result.

"I won!"

"I won again!"

"I am the Duel King!"

Ron laughed maniacally with his Bird Serpent.

Bird Serpent are classified as level 3x.

Like the Bird Serpent, Golden Flyer and Erkling were also downgraded.

In the 3x tier, the only creature that can defeat Fantastic Beasts that can enlarge its body and win by its size is the Augurey, without a duelist controlling it.

The screech of the Augurey can drive opponents to madness, but their duelists, hiding on the dueling platform, are completely unaffected and can control their summoned creatures to fight.

This means that Ron has no rivals at the lower levels.

"This is blatant cheating," Ginny said sarcastically, pointing at the Bird Serpent that had expanded to almost the Gryffindor Tower.

"That's not surprising," Hermione commented rationally. "He's been secretly dueling all along, and his opponents have been skilled fighters like Fred George."

"He's not the only one who uses the Bird Serpent."

"That Slytherin boy's Bird Serpent couldn't grow as big as Ron's."

"Ron has unknowingly mastered the technique of using magic to support the physical exertion of his summoned beasts."

"Therefore his Bird Serpent can become larger."

"That shows his exceptional skill."

"But he's no match for Fred either." Ginny was still a little unconvinced. "He kept losing during the holidays. Otherwise, Fred and George would have been in class and wouldn't have watched him show off like that."
