Imperius Curse.

One of the three Unforgivable Curses in the Wizarding World.

Because the Imperius Curse could control a person's actions, making them completely obey the caster's will, anyone caught using it would definitely be sent to Azkaban.

Generally speaking, this was something between adults.

Yet Vinson Wright was only eleven years old this year, with a considerable amount of time left before adulthood—he hadn't even entered the wizard school Hogwarts yet.

No matter how you looked at it...

An eleven-year-old Vinson Wright shouldn't be calmly talking about using the Imperius Curse on a high-ranking Ministry of Magic official like this.

Clearly, Vinson Wright had something going on.

Seven years ago.

He was still called Weisen.

Weisen used to be a proper person.

A proper person's life naturally involved proper work, learning proper knowledge through proper platforms, having a proper social circle, and even a touch of Social Butterfly Syndrome.

Cognitively, he believed in science.

In faith, he believed in the country.

Weisen thought his life would probably go on like this forever. Even when he sighed to friends at gatherings about how dull life was, there was really nothing wrong with it.

Because he had no complaints about his life, to Weisen, all the incredible things in the world were just artistic seasoning for life.

Until one day...

Weisen's mild case of Social Butterfly Syndrome flared up, making him befriend a very strange person during his travels.

There are always some odd people in this world who like to secretly use magic under the guise of tricks. Weisen unfortunately met one of those strange individuals...

[Friend, have you heard of magic?]

[Have you been watching too much Harry Potter?]

Faced with this kind of neurotic question, Weisen thought for a moment and then naturally gave the weirdo a polite counter-question as his reply.

The result...

He got sent to the Wizarding World.

So, sometimes you have to be careful with what you say.

Seven years ago, after that bizarre transmigration, Weisen woke up and was forced to become Vinson Wright of the Harry Potter Wizarding World.

Vinson Wright was an ordinary orphan.

Orphans like him were very common throughout London. Surviving in London wasn't easy, and the orphanage Vinson was in had always wanted to get rid of him.

Fortunately.

A proper transmigrator always had something going for them.

Perhaps because the former Weisen didn't believe in magic at all, when he became Vinson Wright in this world, a system inexplicably bound itself to his mind, named [Must Believe in Magic].

Alright.

Now Vinson Wright truly believed in magic.

So...

Could he go home now?

Obviously.

Going back wasn't possible anytime soon.

If Vinson Wright wanted to return, he could only try his best to increase his magical power through study or quests, using his own magic to fuel the system's world-crossing ability to go home.

This kind of system...

What a complete waste!

It was an utter disgrace to the system genre!

Yet this very system was one of Vinson Wright's lifelines for surviving in this world—after all, he was just a child now.

At least...

He didn't have to worry about being casually beaten to death.

Maybe he could even directly beat others to death.

Magic Pet:

Anivia, an Ice Crystal Phoenix, skilled in ice-type magic.

When Anivia suffers fatal damage, she will reincarnate into a Phoenix Egg form. If not destroyed within 5 seconds, she will directly revive from the Phoenix Egg.

These are all the abilities Vinson Wright possesses.

Just from looking at the attribute panel, it's clear that Vinson Wright's Magic Power Value proves he is a legitimate wizard.

If you look at the skill panel, though, once Vinson Wright enters Hogwarts, he'd most likely be sent straight to Azkaban.

The power supplemented through some ordinary system tasks basically allows Vinson Wright to defeat most wizards in this world.

For example, Mr. Barty Crouch, who is currently acting as his driver.

The current Head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation at the British Ministry of Magic, Barty Crouch, also known as Old Barty Crouch, was once a high-ranking official with hopes of becoming Minister for Magic, and could be called an outstanding wizard.

But...

Seven years ago, Old Barty Crouch was subjected to some education from Vinson Wright, plus a few insignificant little tricks, which turned him into Vinson Wright's first helper.

Who could blame Old Barty Crouch for having such a disappointing son?

Who could blame Old Barty Crouch for bending his principles for the sake of his son?

Who could blame Old Barty Crouch's disappointing son for being one of the most loyal Death Eaters under Voldemort's command?

Who could blame Old Barty Crouch and his son Barty Crouch Jr. for both being people so easily exploited?

Now...

The relationship between Vinson Wright and Old Barty Crouch is delicate.

Back then, to secure Old Barty Crouch's help, Vinson Wright had to craft a condition Old Barty Crouch couldn't refuse: to clean up everything related to Voldemort and help his son Barty Crouch Jr. escape Voldemort's corruption.

Companions brought together by shared interests are always full of suspicion along the way; they can never place trust in each other.

Seven years.

Old Barty Crouch always questions.

Whenever Old Barty Crouch, this high-ranking Ministry official, no longer wants to follow a child's orders toward extremes, Vinson has no choice but to use the Imperius Curse to control Old Barty Crouch and make him slowly calm down.

Anyway...

Old Barty Crouch has also been using the Imperius Curse to control his own son for a long time, to keep his son from going mad and searching for the missing Voldemort.

At the entrance of Wisteria Elementary School.

A gust of wind lifted Harry Potter's hair, revealing the lightning-shaped scar on his forehead, which directly confirmed his identity.

Old Barty Crouch sat in the driver's seat of the car, watching the thin little boy at the school gate: "Apologies, Mr. Wright. I originally thought you were wasting your efforts..."

After speaking, Old Barty Crouch slowly turned his head back, looking at Vinson Wright inside the car, frowning: "But Harry Potter is still just a child. Unless he also possesses power comparable to yours at this age, I don't see how he can be of any help to our plan..."

"Harry Potter has other value."

Vinson Wright slowly shook his head, leaning back against the seat, and said casually: "Right now, he is creating value for our plan."

Of course Harry Potter is helpful to the plan.

For Vinson Wright, at least revealing Harry Potter's existence now can make Old Barty Crouch believe in him—that's one of Harry Potter's values.

Especially after entering Hogwarts, if Vinson Wright is going to study there, he can't keep controlling Old Barty Crouch long-term. He must make Old Barty Crouch trust him.

Compared to controlling a person...

Making someone sincerely handle matters is the most important thing.

"Let's go."

Vinson Wright urged Old Barty Crouch once more, slowly closing his own eyes. "In two years' time, perhaps when this Boy Who Lived enters Hogwarts, we'll find a way to force the Minister of Magic out of office..."

"How could that possibly..."

"Just trust me."

Just as Old Barty Crouch was about to raise his doubts, Vinson cut him off again. "By then, if you can seize that opportunity to return to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and take control of the Ministry's armed force, the Auror Office, our plan will proceed very smoothly..."

Asking for collections, asking for recommendations, asking for monthly votes, asking for tips.

Regular two updates daily during the new book period, with explosive updates after going on the shelves...
