Twilight Star Child

Harry slowly woke from his unconsciousness, looking around the empty room. "I think I had a terrible nightmare."

He then slowly got up and walked towards the room's exit.

Arriving at the last room, he saw a little boy wearing an embroidered red cloud cloak standing in front of the Mirror of Erised, talking to himself. "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the most handsome man in the world?"

Seeing his handsome reflection in the mirror, Horatio nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Harry by the door.

"Hi, Harry, you're here?" Horatio pulled out Ringo from his pocket and said to Harry.

"What's going on? Horatio, are you healed?" Harry asked, looking at Snape lying on the floor next to the mirror. "And did you defeat Snape?"

"Hahaha, yes, you all hate Snape, don't you? He's always gloomy and doesn't seem like a good person. He drew fire away from me. With him taking the heat, who would suspect a little wizard?" Horatio chuckled.

"No, I still suspected you," Harry replied seriously.

"..."

Horatio looked speechlessly at Harry's serious expression. Alright, you dare to suspect me? I'll write it down in my little notebook. You'll get what's coming to you later.

"Less nonsense, Harry, come here." As Horatio waved Ringo in his hand, Harry flew uncontrollably towards Horatio.

Horatio held Harry in front of the Mirror of Erised. "This mirror is the key to finding the Sorcerer's Stone, but I can't find it no matter what."

"You're not Horatio, who are you? Horatio can make the Sorcerer's Stone himself, he wouldn't come looking for it specifically," Harry recalled Horatio mentioning that Nicolas Flamel was his teacher, and something like the Sorcerer's Stone would be child's play for him.

"Heh heh heh, so I've been discovered? Eleven years ago, a little boy defeated me, turning me into a remnant soul. Quirrell willingly let me enter his mind and thoughts, but the original owner of this body discovered me.

So I controlled him with the Imperius Curse. I didn't expect this body's talent to be so powerful and handsome. So I abandoned that idiot Quirrell and possessed this body instead."

Horatio fully utilized his acting skills.

"But possessing someone else's body forever is not a long-term solution, so I need the Sorcerer's Stone to reshape my body."

Horatio pulled Harry to the Mirror of Erised and said, "Tell me, what do you see?"

Harry in the mirror reached into his pocket and pulled out a bright red stone. He then blinked and put the stone back into his pocket. Afterward, he felt something heavy truly land in his pocket.

"I see myself shaking hands with Dumbledore," Harry lied casually, "I won the House Cup for Gryffindor."

"You're lying," Horatio shoved Harry away. "It seems you won't know my power until I show you a little color."

"Ancient sword, with your sharp edge, cut open my enemy's body. Awaken from the darkness, my most powerful general - Aatrox, heed my call and descend here." Horatio recited an incantation.

As black and red smoke billowed from the tip of Ringo's wand, a tall figure emerged from the smoke.

He looked like a legendary demon, with terrifying horns on his head and a pair of large bat wings on his back. He held a terrifying greatsword in his hand, on which a blood-red giant eye stared intently at Harry.

He slowly spoke, his voice instilling fear, "I am Aatrox, the end of the world."

Then he swung his greatsword and smashed it towards Harry. Harry dodged the heavy blow with all his might.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

Before Harry could get up, the second blade swung towards him. He could only roll backward to narrowly dodge it.

Harry looked at the ground, which had been dented by the greatsword not far from him, and felt a surge of fear. Fortunately, Horatio had often trained him with his jeep, otherwise, he wouldn't know how to dodge such an attack.

Harry quickly got up and desperately ran towards the exit, but Aatrox threw a chain at him, which wrapped around his waist.

The chain dragged Harry back, while Aatrox leaped high into the air, preparing to deliver the final blow.

At the critical moment, Harry remembered the stone Horatio had given him. He took out the stone and shouted, "Starlight shines upon me."

As the greatsword descended, dust swirled up from the ground. Harry appeared in the distance, transformed into a little girl wearing a blue dress and blue shorts, with long pink pigtails.

Seeing her attire, Aatrox roared in anger, "Twilight Star Child, I will cleave you, cut you, and mince you."

Then Aatrox's wings began to spread, his body growing larger as he flew towards Harry, who had transformed into Zoe.

Harry, controlled by the Twilight Star Child, threw a hypnotic bubble at the approaching Aatrox. After a brief delay, Aatrox fell into a deep sleep. Then she fired a light projectile backward, and with a flick of her right hand, the projectile rapidly shot towards the sleeping Aatrox.

With an explosion, Aatrox disappeared from his spot, and Harry reverted from the Twilight Star Child state.

He gasped for breath, looking dazedly at Horatio walking towards him. He tightly clutched his shirt pocket, but in the end, he couldn't hold on and fainted.

Before he lost consciousness, he saw Dumbledore walk in through the door.

Dumbledore looked helplessly at the severely damaged classroom, helped Harry up, and walked towards the door. "I'm starting to wonder if you were reincarnated from a husky?"

"You found me out," Horatio put away Ringo and smiled at Dumbledore.

In his dream, Harry saw a little girl wearing a pink princess dress, with a phoenix perched on her shoulder.

She showed Harry a scene. In the scene, Horatio sat on a throne, coldly playing with a black wand, which seemed to be the 'Hui' Horatio often used. Hathor yawned as she lay on Horatio's lap, and Nephthys stood on the back of the throne, letting out chilling screams towards the area below the throne.

Beneath the throne was a horde of terrifying purple insects, relentlessly tearing at people's bodies. Their bones piled up on the ground, and the earth was stained blood-red.

A giant black hole floated in the sky, and terrifying monsters continuously poured out of it, mercilessly hunting the people on the ground.

Dumbledore was tied to a stake. Horatio slowly rose from his throne and walked towards Dumbledore. "The moment you stopped me from avenging them, you should have imagined this. Look, Dumbledore, this is the end you wished for."

Just as Dumbledore was about to say something, Horatio interrupted him, cutting off any further nonsense. The tip of Hui's wand emitted a terrifying purple light that struck Dumbledore.

"No—" Harry wanted to stop it, but the scene cut off. The little girl reappeared before him, making a wand shape with her fingers.

Harry asked, "Are you talking about a wand?"

The little girl nodded. Just as Harry was about to ask her something else, she seemed to sense something and vanished with the phoenix.

The instant she disappeared, a terrifying giant hand shattered Harry's dream.

"Wait..." Harry sat up in the hospital bed, exclaiming.

Harry found himself in the school infirmary. Horatio in the opposite bed raised a can of cola in greeting. "Yo, Harry, you're awake."
