Heading to the Headmaster's Office

"Who is the Behind-the-Scenes God?" Rupert scratched the back of his head.

His words instantly silenced the air.

The four people present all tacitly agreed that Rupert was fortunate enough to be born into this world because the Behind-the-Scenes God had descended upon their world.

But now.

Tall Draco was beginning to accept Neville's explanation.

If a world can exist without the direct descent of a god, then such a world could indeed have wizards. What?

The live stream almost made him lose his footing.

(Voldemort: "Neville's guess is correct. Someone did indeed arrive in our world. But he has completely disappeared. You can also call him Voldemort.")

(Dumbledore raised an eyebrow. Tom probably wasn't lying; he now knew Voldemort was being controlled by Cedric and another Tom, and he dared not do it. So, he immediately began to consider how, as Minister for British Ministry of Magic, he should deal with any extraterrestrial life that might arrive in this world.)

Voldemort is dead.

The short Draco was speechless. "I know, we killed them with our own hands."

Rupert's pupils contracted. What? Voldemort died in his second year of high Voldemort in this world? And he died in... Well, it seems there are modified versions of Ron, Neville, Draco joining the fray.

Ron, who hadn't been watching the live stream, took a step back and looked at Neville and Draco, finding their faces completely unfamiliar. "You two killed Voldemort the moment you arrived in this world?"

(Those in the Wizarding World who knew about the existence of Horcrux, combined with Voldemort's words, almost instantly guessed what the Draco Voldemort was referring to was—it must be a Horcrux, and considering the location, it must be Ravenclaw's Diadem.)

(Augusta Lumbaton: "No wonder he's my grandson!")

(Alice Lumbaton, as Neville's mother, was more worried about Neville safety, but in her view, it was just a Horcrux that wouldn't move. Neville, who had learned a lot about the other world, didn't think it was dangerous for him to deal with a Horcrux, so she didn't say anything.)

(Hannah wanted to say something about how great Neville was, but out of shyness, she remained silent.)

Rupert was shocked again. What if Ron hadn't joined them?

Tall Draco and Neville had no time to pay attention to the two Ron.

"I mean the real Voldemort, the one who killed the 'me' in this world, the one who was your father. He was killed by Voldemort."

"Because it went to our world."

Upon hearing their words, the shorter Draco's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Although he appeared very outgoing during this period, it was all a facade he put on after losing his father.

His voice was hoarse, and his body trembled. "Really?"

"Really!" Ron replied after watching the live stream.

"But Horcrux?" Rupert remembered the script's premise.

Ron waved his hand, "We're in another world now, how could the Horcrux's protection still be effective?"

(Dumbledore considered another possibility, and his expression turned serious.)

(Although he had never studied Horcrux, based on his understanding and skill in magic, he could roughly guess the possible consequences.)

(Without a main body, the remaining Horcrux may revive one by one, vying for the main body, or devouring it.)

(What he didn't know was that Harry had already merged and sublimated Voldemort's Horcruxes. In the reflection of the holy power was a Serpent of Shadows that Harry had transformed into. Harry would take the place of the main body, and those Horcrux were directly transferred to Harry.)

"I'm going to tell Mom! Goodbye!" Having learned that his great revenge had been completely avenged, the short Draco left immediately, his bouncy steps revealing his inner joy.

Tall Draco extended Ercon's hand, then lowered it again. "I also want to see the mother of this world."

"You have plenty of time." Ron rolled his eyes. "The most important thing right now is to settle Rupert down."

He looked at Rupert, who looked exactly like him, and said, "Why don't you come to the Burrow like me? Or you could become a professor like Malfoy. You're so old, you must have a lot of magic!"

In the end, he even seemed to have some expectations, hoping that this older man would be very outstanding and possess many profound magic abilities.

"Does Lumos count?" Rupert asked awkwardly. "Before today, I should have just been what you call Muggle."

Seeing the three stunned people, he continued, "In fact, there is no magic in our world. It's just a story. I am an actor who woke up one day to find myself on the Hogwarts Express, where I discovered I had a wand and became a wizard."

"Oh, right, there's also a Grimoire and a bag of Galleons."

The fact that Muggle could become a wizard was not surprising to the three of them. In their world, it was a very common practice, requiring only the implantation of a [Magic Fiber] for just 10 Galleon.

The only trouble is that this qualification needs to be verified. You must have a clean family background, have wizard relatives, and each of the [Magic Fiber] made from Phoebe has a unique number, making them very difficult to obtain.

However, according to Rupert, there is no magic in his world.

Moreover, his time travel has very obvious artificial traces; it's too well-executed.

This is completely different from their random approach, where nothing comes with them except what they carry with them.

Rupert had actually realized this long ago, but his tendency to remain behind the scenes was probably a good thing.

After all, he was just a Muggle without magic, a half-washed child star, with nothing to be proud of.

On the contrary, he became a wizard and was endowed with magic because of it.

("Could it be one of those machines that travel between worlds like in science fiction novels?" This is the speculation of some science fiction readers who have become curious about the Muggle World because of their interest in Starry World and their understanding of Muggle's discussions about the future.)

("What Rupert said may not be true." Some viewers held a different view, "Don't Muggle in our world also believe that magic doesn't exist?")

(Madison, lurking in the shadows, gives this a thumbs up. This Rupert comes from her world. Forget magic, angels, demons, even God exist.)

"That's strange." A voice suddenly rang out from a deserted corner. "The magic you possess clearly comes from Mr. Lumbaton's world. It's just slightly different, more spiritual, somewhat like a magical being Obscurus, but without a self that you can completely control."

"Mr. Glint, you must have noticed that you learn magic very quickly, as if it were echoing your own progress."

"Dumbledore!" x4!

All four of them instantly recognized the newcomer.

Rupert recognized the young Dumbledore from the illustrations on the updated Chocolate Frog.

(Unlike the other viewers, who were all shocked that Rupert's power was so close to their world, wondering if it was a coincidence or a deliberate scheme behind the scenes, Basil simply clapped his hands, admiring his brother-in-law's insight.)

(This is because the extraordinary powers in Rupert's world originate from spirituality, the radiance of the soul and the Mind Stone.)

(Just as an orange tree grows sweet in the south of the Huai River but turns bitter in the north, the [Magic Fiber] reacts differently in people from different worlds.)

(This kind of secondary magic, which imitates the Movie Harry world, is believed by wizards to combine the power of magic with the American Horror Story world, making it spiritual, easy to control, and the magic cast will have a living quality.)

(What most wizard trainers spend their entire lives achieving, they can accomplish with ease.)

(If one combines with a human from the Twilight world, the resulting magic will be more closely integrated into the body. It can be enhanced in the arms, much like the fighting spirit in old-school Japanese fantasy, increasing the strength, defense, and reaction power of the arms. When injured, the magic will gather at the wound to promote healing, and when it is circulated to the legs, it will enhance jumping ability.)

(If a human from the Good and Evil Magic World were to unite with another, the resulting magic would develop into unique abilities based on the Seven Emotions and Six Desires. If this person were to enter SGE and undergo the Piercing Ceremony, they would become a wizard in the movie world with innate abilities.)

(If one combines with a human from the world of Brave of Light, the resulting magic will be very close to that of nature. Even without studying the Force Mechanics or manipulating the natural world, one can still gain power from nature. Being able to survive fire and recover health from falling into water will no longer be a fantasy.)

(If it combines with a wizard from the Novel Harry world, the resulting magic won't change much. It can replace the Archmage's magic, driving the concept's Casting by Magic Power and making it incredibly close to the Archmage's. It just doesn't have the Archmage's characteristic of magic growing infinitely over time, with its power increasing as much as the Great Wizard's ambition.)

(Overall, Basil benefited greatly from this combination, gaining a deeper understanding of the underlying architectures of various worlds.)

(Time travel, which is only possible in the movie world, can also be easily achieved in the existing worlds.)

(But Basil was able to perceive these things because of his absolute control over his creations; any life that received the power he bestowed upon them, their subsequent growth belonged to him.)

(And Dumbledore, in just the time it took to listen to Ron and the others talk, was able to analyze the differences between Rupert and them, as well as the characteristics of the power within Rupert.)

(This is entirely a victory of intuition gained through years of immersion in magic.)

Dumbledore was unaware that his brother-in-law was secretly praising him; his attention was entirely on Rupert.

It wasn't because of Rupert's spiritual magic.

It was the script Rupert had mentioned earlier.

There is absolutely no need to refer to Prophecy about the Starry World.

Unlike his counterpart in the other world, he wasn't so eccentric, insisting on upholding the Prophecy and failing to resist while letting the Ministry of Magic hold him back.

Even though Voldemort was dead, and according to his investigation, only Hufflepuff's Cup Horcrux of the Horcruxes, and the cup did not react to Voldemort's death, he still wanted to know what the future of his Wizarding World would look like under normal circumstances.

"Mr. Glint, you've come to see me, haven't you?"

"Yes!" Rupert nodded. "But you seem to—"

"They already know the future?" Dumbledore chuckled. "But the futures they've revealed are difficult to replicate in my world. I want to know the real future. Judging from the script you mentioned, is it a movie or a TV series?"

"Movie."

"It seems we can save a lot of time."

"Legilimency or Pensieve?" Rupert was quite perceptive.

He wanted to say that this world was very different from what he knew; trains wouldn't take you deep into the ocean or through the Cloud Top, Hogsmeade wouldn't be on the beach, Dumbledore wouldn't be so young.

However, wanting to see Dumbledore and Ron's feedback and complaints after watching the movie, he omitted this point.

"The Pensieve, of course," Dumbledore said.

("Doesn't the Pensieve require you to retrieve your own memories? This person was Muggle just a day ago.")

(Some viewers raised questions.)

("Dumbledore said Rupert's magic was very spiritual, and besides, if it were Dumbledore, I believe he would have other ways.")

"But aren't you curious about Rupert's origins?" After learning that Rupert's magic was very similar to that of their world, Ron became intensely curious about it.

"Ron," Dumbledore smile, "This is not an area we can decide to explore. It's better to postpone something that is likely to be futile and deal with more important matters first."

He looked at Rupert, "Come with me."

Draco, Neville, Ron followed behind to the Seventh Floor restroom, but Dumbledore said nothing and tacitly approved of it.

(The audience in front of the screen was incredibly excited, because it meant they could see another world again, just like when the Champion first arrived in the other world to obtain information when the Behind-the-Scenes God still existed, they were completely immersed in it.)

After passing some curious glances, the five of them quickly arrived at the Headmaster's Office.

"Amazing!" Rupert looked around at everything. "It's truly amazing!"

Silverware swirling with smoke, portraits of dozing male and female headmasters in photographs, and that magnificent, extraordinary bird with a swan-like head, golden and red feathers, dozing on a perch with its head tucked under its wings— Phoenix Fawkes.

All of this satisfied his curiosity about the magical world.

Until he saw Dumbledore walk straight to the large full-length mirror behind his desk and disappear into it.

(Dumbledore perked up; Neville had done a live stream before, so he knew what was in the mirror—his and Grindelwald's love nest in this world.)

(A hint of anticipation appeared in Grindelwald's eyes.)

Rupert mustered his courage and followed Ron and the others inside.

Another Headmaster's Office came into view.

Some are reversed left to right, but others are different.

Phoenix Fawkes is gone. The portraits in the frames on the ceiling and walls are still. The desk, high-backed chair, and some cabinets are gone. In their place is a soft, large bed and clothes racks full of clothes of all sizes.

(Dumbledore's ears turned red. He noticed that some of the clothes were too thin, and it was easy to tell who they belonged to from their size and style.)

(Grindelwald's eyes were fixed on the large bed. He suddenly thought of getting up and going to Hogwarts immediately to obtain Dumbledore's forgiveness.)

"The washroom is behind the door. You can go there if you want to use it," Dumbledore, pointing to the oak door that should have been the entrance to the office outside the mirror.

Nobody's going, joking, now they all want to see the movie Rupert was talking about.

Rupert himself was drenched in sweat from walking over and had no needs whatsoever, except...

A pitcher of chilled Pumpkin Juice appeared before him, floating on the glass, the orange-yellow Pumpkin Juice automatically gushing from the pitcher.

"Wow~" Rupert took a big gulp. "I'm back to life! I've been wanting something to drink for a while now. Preferably something ice-cold."
