Devero could hardly wait to begin practicing on the spot after seeing the description.

After all, this was a method that could increase the strength of his magic!

During his previous duel with Snape, he had clearly felt that, as a minor, he was significantly inferior to an adult wizard in both magical strength and reserves.

This left him feeling somewhat insecure.

After all, even in the safest school in all of Britain, he would occasionally have to fight basilisks or tear apart dragons.

If he ran out of mana in the middle of a fight, he would be finished!

But now, this Zen Meditation Method could perfectly solve his problem.

Devero immediately walked further into the train, wanting to find a quiet place to try out this Wisdom of the Sages and see how effective it was.

However, the carriages were already quite crowded by now.

Many of them were completely full, and the environment was incredibly noisy—not at all the quiet setting required for meditation.

Devero ran through every carriage, only to find the same situation everywhere.

He had no choice but to regretfully put the matter aside for the time being; there was certainly no rush for this moment.

With that, Devero decided to find a carriage with fewer people to pass the long journey.

As luck would have it, he happened to see two red-headed boys struggling to help another boy move his trunk.

Yes, it was Harry Potter!

And the ones helping him were none other than the Weasley Twins.

Seeing that all three of them were struggling, Devero stepped forward.

"Hey! Wait a second, this should make it a bit easier."

As he spoke, Devero drew his wand and tapped it lightly on Harry's luggage.

Suddenly, the three of them, who had been straining under the weight of the trunk, felt it become several times lighter.

Even Harry, the smallest among them, could now lift it with ease.

Working together, the three of them hoisted the trunk onto the luggage rack in one go.

"Good heavens! Is that a Levitation Charm?"

"That's brilliant! You must be a first-year, yet you can cast spells so skillfully!"

The Weasley Twins looked at Devero with eyes full of amazement!

Other students nearby also wore expressions of shock at the scene.

Although the Levitation Charm was considered a relatively introductory spell, there were still many in their first year who couldn't perform it perfectly even by the time the final exams arrived.

Wait... a spell?

The twins exchanged a look, then exclaimed in surprise!

"You just used a Silent Spell!?"

Devero offered a modest smile.

"Yes, it's just the simplest of spells."

After a brief moment of speechlessness and frantic gesturing, the twins immediately crowded around him.

"Wow, Merlin's beard! If we could learn that, there would be so many things we could do!"

"Yeah, yeah! That... um... we haven't introduced ourselves yet. I'm Fred, and this is George. If you're willing, could you teach us?"

As he spoke, Fred leaned in close to Devero's ear, looking mysterious.

"We won't let you teach us for nothing. Once we get to school, we can tell you a whole heap of secrets about the place. Although we didn't get around to the towers last year, we know the secrets of the Great Hall like the back of our hands!"

"That's right! We guarantee you won't find a third person in the school who knows it as well as we do!"

With that, the twins bumped their fists together.

Devero rolled his eyes, then smiled and said, "Sure, but you'll have to show me around a bit first, and then I'll teach you."

After all, for Devero, something like a Silent Spell was really just a matter of taking one look at it. Being able to have these two troublemakers show him around Hogwarts, and perhaps even getting his hands on treasures like the Marauder's Map in the future—why wouldn't he do it?

"Woo-hoo!"

The twins cheered, immediately huddling together to whisper, as if they were already planning how to use Silent Spells for their next prank.

Devero turned his gaze toward Harry, who looked a bit at a loss. It was clear that the talk of spells, Silent Spells, and the secrets of Hogwarts Castle sounded completely foreign to him. Unable to join the conversation, he naturally felt a bit awkward.

Devero stepped forward and draped an arm around Harry's shoulders. "Let's go, Harry. Let's find a seat."

Harry had been standing there in a daze, but at Devero's words, he nodded quickly. The train was about to depart, after all. He turned, intending to head back into the compartment they had originally chosen.

"Harry? Could it be... are you that Harry?"

Hearing Devero say Harry's name, the twins' whispering stopped abruptly. Harry, clearly having experienced this kind of scene many times before, naturally brushed back the hair on his forehead to reveal the lightning-bolt-shaped scar.

The twins were dumbstruck at the sight. It was also the first time Devero had seen the real Harry's scar in person; it looked far more jagged and fierce than it had in the movies from his past life. Devero even felt the urge to reach out and touch it, but considering Harry's feelings, he held back. In truth, Devero had always been curious: why would the Killing Curse leave behind a lightning-bolt-shaped scar? The original books never really seemed to mention it.

After seeing the scar, the twins ran out of the compartment, shouting and hollering, as if they couldn't wait to share the news with their family.

Devero watched the two of them leave.

He then sat down in a compartment seat with Harry.

Devero had just added the two purple traits from each of them into his trait shopping cart.

He planned to load them later at Hogwarts to see what they were like.

The traits they possessed were:

[Explorer (Purple)]

[Prank Inventor (Purple)]

It had to be said.

The effects of these two traits were quite impressive.

Generally speaking.

Possessing a purple trait.

Meant that this person could reach an excellent level in that field.

A blue trait indicated the potential to reach an above-average level.

A gold trait represented someone who was a natural-born leader in that field.

Those who possessed red traits were basically people with great destiny.

They were essentially fused to a certain extent with the rules of that field.

Take the Potion Spirit trait, for example.

Devero felt it was simply too overpowered.

Although his knowledge base was still very weak right now.

In terms of potion-brewing skill alone.

He might, to a certain extent, be even better than Snape!

Of course, this was just an intuition.

Devero hadn't actually tested it, nor did he dare to.

But regardless.

The Weasley Twins were truly very talented people.

No wonder they could, at such a young age.

Become industry leaders in the field of prank inventions.

"Devero, I can't believe you know so many spells!"

Harry, sitting opposite Devero, said with a hint of dejection.

"Sigh, I grew up in a Muggle family, so I basically don't know any magic. If there's an entrance exam, I'm done for."

Devero heard Harry's words.

He couldn't help but smile.

Just as he was about to say something to encourage Harry.

The door to the compartment was knocked upon.

A young boy with red hair and freckles on his face stood outside.

"Excuse me, can I sit here? My name is Ron Weasley."
