[Gold] Pointing to the Moon and the Seabed

"Never mind that horrible eight-eyed spider. You're breaking the law, you hear?" Ron stressed.

"I found it in the Forbidden Forest," Hagrid said, unabashed.

Harry seemed to mishear: "This is what I found."

"There's a loophole in the Ministry's laws. As long as the place where a dragon lays its eggs has no Muggles and is spacious enough, the baby dragon can grow up there."

Hagrid hummed a tune as he stoked the fire.

"As for why it's in my hut—I'm the Forbidden Forest Keeper. Keeping the students and magical creatures in the woods safe is my duty, no question about it."

"Did you tell Dumbledore?"

"No."

Hermione pinpointed the loophole precisely. Hagrid seemed to shrink a little, but he still argued, "But this is perfectly legal."

"That's right, it's perfectly legal!" Draco, who hadn't taken his eyes off the dragon egg, finally spoke up.

"It is indeed perfectly legal." A deliberately drawled voice, meant to project authority but sounding very uncomfortable, rang out.

"Father!" Draco exclaimed.

"It's..." Hagrid raised his eyebrows in disgust, but when his gaze swept over Draco and then landed on Dumbledore behind old Malfoy, his expression shifted to one of cowering.

"Dumbledore! What are you doing here!"

Hagrid fidgeted with his fingers like a child caught misbehaving.

"I'll write to Macnair. He has a say in the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures," old Malfoy said, forcing himself not to look at Harry, his voice trembling.

"That executioner!" Hagrid forgot his nervousness, his lower lip quivering with rage. For a moment, he looked like he might tear old Malfoy apart. "We all know what kind of man he is. His axe is stained with the blood of innocent creatures!"

Old Malfoy quickly retreated behind Dumbledore.

"Alright, Hagrid. I think the Dragon Research and Restriction Bureau would be more suitable. I have an old friend, Newt Scamander, who once worked there," Dumbledore said soothingly.

"I didn't come here for this particularly special and rare dragon egg, but... for Harry."

"Me? This dragon egg is special?"

Harry noticed that when Dumbledore said "special and rare," his gaze lingered on the egg for quite a while.

"This is good news. I think I have a rough idea of what Tom was planning to do yesterday. You saved Lucius, and an innocent life yet to be born."

"My father? Harry, you saved my father yesterday!" Draco's voice trembled.

"Tom? Who's that?" Ron noticed that the moment that name appeared, Hagrid fell silent immediately, and old Malfoy began trembling from head to toe.

"Someone we all know well, whose name we dare not speak directly."

"You-Know-Who!" "The Dark Lord!"

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, Ron and the others guessed the answer.

"Harry~" Draco's eyes reddened. If he were a girl right now, he'd probably have thrown himself at Harry.

"You came face-to-face with You-Know-Who!" Hermione had already pounced on him, patting him all over.

"Fortunately, Harry only encountered Lucius, who was under the Imperius Curse."

Dumbledore's words made old Malfoy lower his head in shame.

Once upon a time, to escape guilt, he had lied that he joined the Death Eaters under the Imperius Curse.

Now he really had been controlled—and by his former master.

And his own son had found out about it.

"Of course, I believe that even if you faced Tom himself, he would be no match for you now."

Dumbledore studied Harry's right hand, his gaze so intense it made one's scalp crawl, especially considering his orientation.

"There it is... You blocked the Killing Curse again."

"Could you let me see it? That Righteous Qi, the great power even Snape had to acknowledge—what he believes to be Tom's true nemesis."

[Ding ding ding! Please let the White-Haired Regent Minister witness the Savior Lord's true power, what justice truly means, and make him understand who calls the shots at Hogwarts!]

[Reward: 100 experience points, Gold Magic Knowledge 1]

"This kind of justice probably isn't what you're looking for." Harry's smile grew more genuine as he thrust out his fist.

The Death Light, wrapped in a torrent of Righteous Qi, burst forth.

Everyone in the hut felt their scalps crawl, as if they had seen death itself, their breath cut short.

But Dumbledore stepped forward instead of back, his silver-white beard and hair stirring without wind.

A wave of warmth, carrying a sense of loving-kindness and sanctity, radiated from his body.

"The embodiment of nature's cold side? A forced correction of dissonance and distortion? The death of justice?"

The dazzling green light receded under that warmth, retreating back into the fist.

"So it is..."

—Is it you? Death?

Dumbledore's eyes flickered with a trace of shock.

This power seemed to be retreating, but within the fist it was rising step by step, as if the next moment it would unleash a earth-shattering strike.

[[White-Haired Regent Minister's Shock] quest completed]

[(100 EXP, Gold Magic Knowledge·1) credited]

"You seem to have misunderstood something?" Harry withdrew his fist.

--Perhaps it was time.

He realized that even with two Gold Grade magical powers, he was still a distance away from Dumbledore.

After yesterday's ball, the stage reward he received from quest settlement was the highest tier.

Counting the Gold Grade talent word from the stage quest, the core word breaking through to Gold again from the grade increase, plus this one, that was already three Golds.

Not to mention the Bronze from saving old Malfoy, and the Silver from choosing Gemma.

Moreover...

The newly drawn talent might help with finding Horcruxes and the flight quest.

--Experience allocation!

Time stopped once more.

[[Core Savior Lord lv2] (All Resistances +7)--23/100]

[Esteemed Savior Lord, a total of 3 draw opportunities accumulated, one guaranteed Bronze Magic Knowledge draw, one guaranteed Silver Talent draw... one guaranteed Gold Magic Knowledge draw... two guaranteed Gold Talent draws... proceed with draw?]

--Draw! Dogskin Book, show me your limits!

[Color Ball Fish Bubble]

[A bubble that resists water pressure, the sublimation of the Bubble-Head Charm's original rune, a perfect barrier isolating inside from outside, comes with skin tissue modification]

[Savior Lord's fortune reaches the heavens, load talent word? YES or NO]

--Diving... the seabed?

[Desperate Path of the Big-Headed Hairy Monster]

[...YES or NO]

--Interesting talent.

Phase Shift of the Moon Demon

--The chief of the Eight Great Demons, Zulan? Not gravity magic?

[Bowtruckle's Wood Affinity]

[The origin of wand wood, deterrence against dark creatures, comes with magical transformation]

[...YES or NO]

--So this is why Bowtruckles have the [Guardian Tree] power to deter dark creatures? And the trees they inhabit must also be wand wood?

--Wait!

Harry clutched his splitting forehead and paused the draw. The Gold Magic Knowledge he had drawn finally took full root in his mind.

The so-called [Phase Shift] was the [Moon Demon]'s spell to return home, teleporting from Earth to the Moon, spanning roughly 400,000 kilometers.

And the first Gold Talent he drew was not only related to diving, but could even ensure oxygen supply in a vacuum environment.

"[Horcruxes] are... at the bottom of the sea and on the Moon?"

"How the hell did Voldemort manage that?"

"Was it Quirrell, the former Muggle Studies professor, who suggested it?"

"It wasn't until 2007 that England proposed the [Moonlight] [Moon Rake] lunar exploration plan."

"Could it be... the [Space Hall]?"
