When he had left the bedroom just now, Dudley had deliberately lingered behind, taken out the Hagrid blood that had been chilling in the refrigerator for most of the day, and used one D-rank fusion opportunity to merge it, obtaining [Weak Half-Giant Wizard Bloodline].
Together with the [Weak Wizard Bloodline] he had obtained by merging Harry's blood on the Gringotts rail cart yesterday—
It was the perfect time to elevate both his parents into the extraordinary!
After Dudley casually touched his parents for an instant, Dumbledore was astonished to discover faint magical fluctuations emanating from Petunia and Vernon.
Several flowers suddenly sprouted from the Dursley household's living room floor, and the furniture in the room shook slightly as well.
Petunia and Vernon had both experienced a magical outburst, albeit a relatively weak one.
Far away at Hogwarts, the Book of Admittance and the Quill of Acceptance stirred once more. This time, however, the disturbance was extremely slight and subsided without alerting anyone.
The reason was simple: The Dursleys had long since passed the age of seventeen and did not meet Hogwarts' enrollment requirements. Once the Quill of Acceptance detected this, it did not even feel inclined to write.
"Petunia and Vernon became wizards?!"
Although he had already prepared himself mentally, Dumbledore's eyes still lit up when he witnessed this scene that challenged everything the wizarding community believed, and he could not help but exclaim in amazement.
"That's right! But my parents don't have the potential to advance any further. They can only learn five spells at most, and they can't be particularly advanced ones!"
Dudley replied. He had given the [Weak Wizard Bloodline] obtained from Harry to his mother, Petunia, while the [Weak Half-Giant Wizard Bloodline] obtained from Hagrid had gone to his father, Vernon.
Compared to the two, the [Weak Half-Giant Wizard Bloodline] was stronger. Not only could it learn five spells, but it could also make the body sturdier and stronger, granting a tiny amount of magical resistance.
Having successfully transformed into wizards, the Dursleys were beside themselves with excitement. They jumped and danced around the living room, eager to cast magic, only to discover that compared with real wizards, they lacked one crucial thing.
"I had these ready for you already, Dad, Mum!"
With a smile, Dudley pulled two brand-new wands, generously gifted by Ollivander, from his coat's inner pocket and handed one to each of his parents.
The Dursleys happily accepted them. Vernon held an Oak Wand of the same type as Hagrid's, while Petunia held a Holly Wand of the same type as Harry's. As they waved them together, gentle yet brilliant golden-red sparks immediately burst from the tips of both wands.
The wands had recognized their owners, and the compatibility was extremely high!
At the same time, because their owners were "adult wizards," the silver Traces embedded within the two wands instantly dissipated without a trace!
"This is simply marvelous!" Dumbledore exclaimed. "I don't even know what words could describe such a miracle!"
"Better that you don't. Either way, this is something you need to keep secret!"
Dudley could not fully understand the shock his cheat had brought Dumbledore. He directly pulled Dumbledore over to sit beside the dining table. "Stop standing around stupidly. Eat first. You'll need your strength for work afterward!"
Dumbledore's trip to Privet Drive had been a complete success, but it had also left him with a heavy burden of work.
After leaving the Dursley household with Hagrid's old coat, he estimated that his workload for the next month would absolutely exceed everything he had done over the past ten years combined.
However, he did not resent this busyness. He now had clear goals and a plan; he was exhausted, but happy.
Late on the night of August 1, close to the early hours of August 2, Dumbledore Apparated directly to Minister Fudge's lair—his den... no, his home.
He cast a Disillusionment Charm on himself and, like a transparent ghost, slipped directly into the bedroom where Minister Fudge slept. Taking out the Elder Wand, he extracted Fudge's memories related to crimes and illegal activities.
After examining them, Dumbledore followed the guidance of those memories and effortlessly took away evidence such as the account books and illicit goods Fudge had hidden in his home.
He then returned the memories and flashed over to the Hog's Head in Hogsmeade, where his brother Aberforth was.
Dumbledore swiftly wrote several short letters and had owl messengers deliver them to several trusted associates within the Ministry of Magic.
The aging lion had come alive again, his fighting spirit rekindled. The Wizarding World was about to change!
On August 2, major news broke within the United Kingdom Ministry of Magic.
Led by Senior Auror Kingsley Shacklebolt, several mid-ranking Ministry officials brought forward a mountain of incredibly detailed evidence and formally impeached the current Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, before the Department of Magical Law Enforcement for accepting bribes and abusing his power for personal gain.
Amelia Susan Bones, the current head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, was an upright, kind, and fair witch.
She did not back down simply because the accused was her superior.
Faced with the detailed evidence before her, Madam Bones ignored her deputy's "thoughtful" advice, resolutely accepted the case, and submitted it to the Wizengamot through the fastest possible process.
Meanwhile, Dumbledore had already brought Hagrid back to Number Four, Privet Drive. Using magic to expand the Dursley household's living room, he began a little magic class.
The curriculum mainly covered spells and casting techniques, with some Transfiguration mixed in as well.
Since the Dursleys could only learn five relatively ordinary spells—
Dudley and Dumbledore carefully planned a list of skills for them to learn, allowing them to establish a basic combat routine.
The [Weak Wizard Bloodline] Petunia had received came from Harry, so her highest learning goal was set as the well-known spell from the original story that Harry loved so much—Expelliarmus.
It was an advanced spell, but Dudley believed that with the talent tendencies in Harry's bloodline, his mother still had a chance of learning it.
In addition, considering the need for offense, defense, healing, and everyday utility, Petunia's remaining four spells would be:
Accio (it could summon large objects to defend against the Killing Curse.)
Calm Mind (the "Calm Mind" magic jointly developed by Dudley and Harry, now optimized into a fixed spell. To a certain extent, it could reduce a dark wizard's killing intent, making it difficult for them to properly cast the Killing Curse.)
Protego (also known as "Shield Charm," used for conventional spell defense.)
Episkey (also known as "Mending Charm," capable of treating ordinary injuries.)
As for Dudley's father, Vernon, the [Weak Half-Giant Wizard Bloodline] he received came from Hagrid, and his talents leaned toward Transfiguration and strength-related fields.
Therefore, the five spells Vernon would learn were:
Basic Transfiguration Charm (it could turn ordinary objects such as stones into spikes, then combine with the Moving Charm for ranged attacks.)
Moving Charm (it could be paired with Transfiguration Charms to form combination techniques, and also had some of the utility of Accio, allowing objects to be moved for defense.)
Brute Force Enhancement (the "Brute Force Enhancement" magic jointly developed by Dudley and Harry, now optimized into a fixed spell. It could amplify strength, close the distance with enemies, and enable close-quarters combat. Wizards were generally frail and lacking in athletic ability, so this spell might prove highly useful.)
Disengagement Charm (also known as "Relashio," it could make enemies lose their strength and release whatever they were holding. Used with Brute Force Enhancement, it was exceptionally effective. When used on inanimate objects, it could make their internal structures repel one another and collapse, breaking chain restraints.)
Protego (also known as "Shield Charm," used for conventional spell defense.)
