Saving Private Ron

As soon as Basil finished speaking, the dark Dadi began to tremble.

"Is it the Bronze Giant?" Dumbledore asked.

Basil shook his head. "It's the sky."

The "sky" he spoke of represented this Dadi and ocean, and everything upon it.

This world bubble has been able to expand to its current extent.

There are three main reasons.

First, the World Tree.

The sky, born from the aggregation of Light Power, and the Dadi, formed from the dormant Evil Power, are two deliberately extreme forms of light and darkness colliding within the World Tree, breaking through the bottleneck limit of this core pillar.

Second, the Pillar of Water and the Pillar of Fire.

In a sense, they are branches of the World Tree, amplifiers that increase the stability and upper limit of the World Bubble.

Third, [Human Pillar].

It refers to the wizards who live within the World Bubble. Their eternal, unfading, and seemingly conceptual magic is the greatest guarantee of the World Bubble's continuous growth.

But now the Pillar of Fire has transformed into the Pillar of Light.

The perfect pillar of nature's masculine mask.

If this continues, the balance between light and darkness will be disrupted.

Therefore, Basil caused the Dadi to lose its concept of darkness, making it and everything on it subordinate to the "sky".

The darkness continued to deepen.

A Bronze Giant, comparable to the Pillar of Light and bathed in darkness, will naturally be born.

The symphony of destruction played by the negative aspects of nature will become the heart of the Bronze Giant, endowing it with Eternity and inexhaustible energy.

If someone could see the world bubble as a whole, they would find a Bronze Giant with the same appearance as Basil standing on darkness, with the sky composed of Dadi and ocean above his head.

Once light and darkness reach equilibrium, the World Tree will grow again amidst a stronger clash between light and darkness.

With Hogwarts' underground basement and Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets of Secrets no longer needing Basil's cover to conceal the power of the Evil Power.

World Bubble, possessing a [humanoid] form, will also have the ability to walk, move, and fight.

In this way, the area in Basil's mind that is illuminated and united with the power of the system will truly come in handy.

It is no longer merely a realm that can be reached at a moment's notice.

This 'body' will truly 'come alive'.

But for now, the Giant is still just a phantom.

The darkness has not yet completely left the Dadi.

They were descending along the Giant's massive body.

This caused vibration.

"It is indeed the sky." Dumbledore understood immediately.

He had also measured this world bubble, obtaining the purest Light Power from the stars through an obscure magical ritual of stargazing.

So just as a Harpy's fur stands on end when he senses the Evil Moving Tribe, he is also more acutely aware of the Evil Power in the Dadi, namely darkness.

After calming down, he could feel the darkness disappearing and being replaced by the power of light.

But this only made him more curious about the world of dreams.

In his view, the World Tree, the Bronze Giant, the Ice Blue Phoenix, and the magic of resurrection all actually originated from the world of dreams.

The tremors and strange phenomena of the Dadi were not noticed by Dumbledore alone.

After learning about the Chamber of Secrets, Grindelwald, who had actively accepted the Evil Power within it, also discovered it.

Thanks to the Heart of Dark Magic, he was not scorched by the sacred Dadi.

As Archmage, his Evil Power wouldn't decline if he lost the land where it grew.

This power had long been combined with his Archmage's Mana.

Therefore, even though all the areas that living beings can touch are now [light], he can still stimulate the growth of dark power within him through the power of light.

Harry, who also resides in what can be considered darkness, is in a different situation than Grindelwald.

His talent, which the system named "God's Shadow," depends on the holy power within Harry.

The stronger the holy power within Harry, the denser the darkness lurking in his shadow.

However, Harry still sensed the changes in his surroundings because of this.

"The power of the light is becoming increasingly intense."

Late at night, Harry looked at Ron in the next bed.

Ron, who had previously struggled to grasp the power of light, mastered it after returning from the grasslands.

Harry's intuition told him that it would clearly take Ron at least three months to accomplish this.

"Is this light?"

Divine light emanated from the palms of his hands.

He could sense that the light he possessed was different from the light of the World Tree.

But they are also very similar.

His [light] burns brighter, originating from his Mind Stone, from the Prophecy of the Chosen One, and from the so-called God.

The light of the World Tree is like a manifestation of nature.

He could sense the effect of this [light] on his Mind Stone.

Some of humanity's finest virtues are infused into the person who possesses them.

Ron was one of them.

Harry was troubled by this.

Although Ron is gossipy, gluttonous, and lazy, that's exactly what he likes about Ron.

A more ambitious, mild-tempered, and better Ron is not what he wants.

"Perhaps... I should."

Harry turned around and looked at Basil's empty bed.

Transfiguration Class.

While spell card magic has become widespread, Transfiguration is different; it only requires one spell card.

All Transfiguration are based on this spell card.

Therefore, most students will still need to use a wand to practice new Transfiguration.

Ron kept waving his wand intently, trying to turn the beetle on the table into a button.

Harry accomplished it with ease, but he was still somewhat melancholy.

Normally, Ron would slack off and chat with him about gossip.

But now, Ron really does seem like a good student.

However, no one noticed the melancholy on Harry's face.

Right now, Rupert, who is almost 1.8 meters tall, is the one that most people in the class are paying attention to.

Because of the international students, students from all four colleges are now taking classes together.

This has led to more people paying attention to Rupert.

"He's really amazing," Hermione, somewhat surprised. "He almost caught up with me."

She didn't mention Basil and Harry, who were outside the norm.

"You didn't use a wand." Basil thought Hermione was in Versailles.

Rupert was able to do this because he not only mastered the Light Power and was mentally mature, but he was also a wizard in the movie world. Wizards in the movie world have more easily manipulated secondary magic, and they can more easily create more sophisticated and ingenious magical phenomena.

This can be seen from the fact that most of their elite wizards can fly.

Hermione, on the other hand, relied entirely on her own talent.

"But he's only just started learning magic," Hermione said. "No, I'm going to stay in the library for an extra hour today."

The hairband that An Feng gave her not only taught her the incredible speed that Basil used to move with.

The headband's power to access all memories within sight also made Hermione increasingly fond of going to the library.

She began to get used to quickly flipping through books in the library, almost like swallowing them whole.

Then, during breaks, recall your memories and read in this way.

Hermione has now read almost a third of the entire library.

But Hermione still thought it was too slow and not curled enough.

Then

As soon as class ended, Hermione would use her super speed to run to the library.

Basil grabbed Hermione by the back of the neck just in time, and her legs swung around so fast they were like windmills.

Rupert, noticing this, gaped in astonishment, beginning to suspect that he had actually entered the world of Tom and Jerry.

He didn't pause for long.

Compared to his classmates, he preferred to stay with Neville, Draco, and Ron from the movies.

This gave him the feeling that he was still on the set of Harry Potter before he even traveled back in time.

Hermione landed on her feet again, pouting, "Why won't you let me go to the library?"

Basil nudged his mouth toward Harry.

He was waving at them.

"Harry, is there something you need?" Hermione asked.

Under normal circumstances, Harry should be in the Slytherin Head of House's office looking for his mother right now.

"I have a question for Basil," Harry said.

Ten minutes later.

Harry explained his concerns one by one.

"Isn't this a good thing?" Hermione asked after hearing this.

"Is it a good thing that you've become able to accept Phoebe, Ariana, and the others so readily?" Harry asked.

Your mother—

Why bring me up when we're just having a normal conversation?

Basil was depressed.

Hermione shook her head vigorously. "Of course not. But it's completely different, okay? How can having a greater love for learning be a bad thing?"

Harry sighed. "But Ron isn't like that. If he wanted to change for the better out of his own free will, that would be fine, but this is due to external influences. Can you imagine? Ron does his homework as soon as class is over now."

Hermione was a little indignant, but Harry didn't pay attention and continued, "Normally, after he accompanied me to see my mother, he should have gone to Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley to play."

"Basil, do you have a solution?"

You just pointed out my complicated relationship situation, and now you want to ask me questions?

After a brief silence, Basil had a wicked thought, "Dark Magic."

"The influence of the power of light is like the influence of learning White Magic for good or Dark Magic for evil on the mind."

"It's too difficult for Ron to maintain a firm mind and not be influenced by magic."

"It would be better to use the negative effects of Dark Magic to offset the positive effects of the power of light."

"Will this work?" Harry wasn't doubting whether Basil's answer was accurate.

He simply doubted whether Ron was willing to learn Dark Magic.

Ron is a person who discriminates against Dark Magic, dark wizards, and Slytherin students on an equal footing.

Even though Draco was considered Harry's friend, Ron still had a habitual aversion to him.

"You should have already learned from Draco that Devon Lumbaton and the others are from another world," Basil prompted.

"You mean knowledge from another world?" Harry asked.

"What other world?" Hermione was a little confused.

"Yes," Basil said, then looked at Hermione. "The new students we've had recently are all from other worlds that are very similar to ours. Spell cards are knowledge from those other worlds."

"Device Lumbaton is Neville, Professor Malfoy is Draco Malfoy— "

Before Basil could finish speaking, Hermione raised her hand and blurted out, "Rupert Grint is Ron Weasley?"

"Lance Weasley," Harry corrected.

"Who is Rupert Grint?" Hermione asked, puzzled.

"He's an actor, not from the same world as Neville and the others. The information about our world is found in novels and movies in their world," Basil said.

"So am I with Basil?" Hermione asked, her head bowed, her voice barely audible.

Harry recalls information about the Starry World, which he believes is the closest to their own.

He said, "You and Basil got together. But then you threw a tantrum, and Basil married and divorced Phoebe, Pansy, and Luna respectively."

"Pansy Parkinson!" Hermione screamed.

She is now filled with remorse. In her opinion, it must be her fault that Basil was willing to be with such a girl.

Thinking of Pansy's ugly, poodle-like face, she almost vomited.

She suppressed her S.P.E.W. and asked again, "Ariana, and Ginny too?"

"We don't look like people in their world," Harry said. "Pansy is supposedly very beautiful in that world, Ginny is very ordinary, and she and I ended up together."

"That's good." Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, then pressed on, "How did I divorce Bucky?"

"Because of political beliefs—" Harry hesitated for a moment before continuing, "In the future, when the boundaries between countries disappear and the world is united, you, who once British Ministry of Magic Kingdom, have always wanted to lead Britain to independence and break away from the Earth Federation."

"I must be crazy," Hermione said. "It's as absurd as Brexit. It's impossible for it to happen normally."

Her heart leaped with inexplicable joy; this future meant she would be the ultimate victor, defeating Ariana, Phoebe, Ginny, and Luna.

For a moment, she even hummed a few tunes.

"Bucky, don't forget that the magical knowledge from the other world can 'save' Ron." She directly admitted that Ron needed to be saved, without dwelling on the fact that being studious was a good quality that shouldn't be given up.

"This spell has two names: the Heart of Dark Magic and the Heart of White Magic," Basil said. "They are the culmination of Dark Magic and White Magic, capable of restraining the mental corruption caused by powerful Dark Magic and White Magic."

"I suggest Ron learn the Heart of Dark Magic so that he can completely sever the good that comes with the power of light."

"Learn it, and if you don't like studying and spend all your time gossiping, the gluttonous Ron will reappear."

"Why not the Heart of White Magic?" As Ron's friend, Harry couldn't help but feel a bit resistant to Dark Magic.

"It can," Basil said. "It's just that most humans subconsciously pursue good virtues and the power of light. If it were that, Ron wouldn't be able to return to his original form."

Hermione felt that Basil was a bit off, but because she was preoccupied with the fact that she was the ultimate victor, she didn't dwell on it too much.

I didn't notice that Basil said "return to the original state".

What Harry cared about was that Ron's change of heart wasn't due to his own willpower, but rather because of the influence of energy on his mind.

If Ron actively pursued the infection and was infected, it would already align with Harry's concept of free will.

Harry didn't mind, "Then let's go with [Heart of Dark Magic]."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Basil's gaze turn to him.

The moment his gaze fell upon Setsuna, the knowledge constructed by the [Heart of Dark Magic] flooded into his mind.
