Peaceful Days

In an unnamed, unused room on the sixth floor of Hogwarts, Harry's words made Ron and Draco hold their breath.

"Did I hear that right, Harry? You're a Seer!"

"This is the Third Eye!"

"But how can there be such a thing as dreaming?" Ron said, regaining his composure.

"Ron, didn't you mean anything by what I just said?"

"The key point isn't that I have some damned Third Eye, but that there's a powerful wizard who wants to take the Philosopher's Stone!" Harry said excitedly.

"Is that person with the silver-white eyes the real You-Know-Who?" Ron guessed with a smirk.

Ryan, who was strolling outside the castle and eavesdropping on Harry and the others' conversation, was utterly bewildered. What the hell? The way he looked when he stole the Philosopher's Stone and was about to transform himself, how could it possibly be that ugly Voldemort!

Ron, you just wait and see!

"No, although I don't quite remember."

"But I once dreamed that my parents disappeared in a sudden green light, and at the same time there was a very loud, strange laugh."

"That voice doesn't match," Harry replied after a moment's thought.

"Although I don't want to mention it, the Dark Lord— the You-Know-Who —doesn't look like what Harry described."

"My father once said that when my grandfather was alive, Voldemort was a very handsome man, but later his face looked like it had been burned, his features were blurred, and he was strangely distorted like wax."

"His eyes are different from ordinary people's; the whites are red, like they're filled with blood," Draco said after hesitating for a long time.

"Then, who is that person?"

"Where did such a powerful wizard come from?" Ron said, stroking his chin.

"Some wizards are born different. For example, a relative of mine that I can't mention can freely change her appearance and hair color."

"The wizard Harry Prophecy might just have had a different voice."

"Fluffy's weakness is music. Could it be that the wizard's voice sounds like music to Fluffy?"

"Could it be that he cast some kind of spell before he spoke? Harry, you just didn't Prophecy what happened before." Draco became more and more excited as he spoke. "I knew it. Maybe the wizard in the Forbidden Forest who was suspected of being the Dark Lord was just very good at dealing with Unicorn."

"He's not the Dark Lord at all!"

"If they're really that strong, why don't they step forward to recruit more soldiers instead of hiding in the background like a mouse!"

"That's why Dumbledore left you a message, Harry. Maybe it was a test. All the clues pointed to the Dark Lord, only to find out in the end that he was just a mediocre adult wizard." Draco finished speaking in one breath, looking at Harry and Ron with a proud gaze.

It's like hoping to gain their approval.

"No, that wizard gave me the feeling that he was very powerful!"

"He can even see me in his dreams," Harry said worriedly.

"Harry, maybe you're just under too much pressure."

"Although I hate Malfoy, I have to admit he's very smart. Maybe you're really overthinking it," Ron reassured him.

Everything seemed to be as Ron and the others had said. As the days went by, Harry realized that neither Quirrell's sudden disappearance nor the hints Dumbledore had given him had occurred.

Was everything Harry experienced just a dream?

In addition, with the usual grueling Quidditch training, Harry honestly couldn't afford to worry about his concerns.

He had actually wondered if the wizard with the silver eyes was Ryan. It wouldn't be difficult for a wizard of Ryan's level to change his appearance.

But his intuition told him that it wasn't Ryan, but a wizard he had never seen before.

What Harry didn't know was that his intuition was wrong because Ryan was using another identity.

The Moon Mirage Body was initially created to escape the gaze of some being, establishing a completely new wizard identity. Its other abilities were merely incidental.

When Ryan discovered that Harry might have inherited some of his traits, he "thought" about it.

He discovered that, because he was still "Peverell" at that time, when he shot the Seeds into Harry Potter, the two "Peverell" were so close that a strange reaction occurred in an area that magic has yet to explore.

His Seeds, at that time, was meant to connect with the runes within Harry's body, to comprehend and learn.

Harry Potter already possesses magical vision and a powerful wizarding intuition during battle, so it's normal for his intuition to expand.

Moreover, he could only foresee this once, and this foreseeing was merely a remnant of Ryan's magic.

His precognitive abilities remain, but he can no longer Prophecy Ryan.

This precognitive dream was simply Ryan foreseeing himself.

The new wizard identity brought about by the Moon Mirage Body is something that even wizards at level 7 cannot detect.

June arrived quickly. The first week of June was for final exams, and the second week of June was for releasing exam results and holding the final Quidditch Match.

To be honest, Ryan was also surprised. Quirrell had started drinking Unicorn Blood two months earlier than planned, but the time he planned to steal the Philosopher's Stone remained unchanged.

However, Ryan learned that the Wizengamot gathering, which takes place every eight years, is at the end of this school year.

It's worth noting that Wizengamot was an organization established in Britain even earlier than the Ministry of Magic, and now it functions as a combination of the courts and parliament.

Every member of this organization is an indispensable and highly respected wizard in the Britain Wizarding World.

This shows just how important this organization is.

In addition, Dumbledore is the chief wizard of this organization.

This also explains why Quirrell and Voldemort chose to study at the end of the year.

After all, at this point, Dumbledore had to leave Hogwarts for a while.

However, this might be Dumbledore's way of squeezing out Quirrell's last bit of value. Dumbledore would leave Hogwarts only after the final exams were over and the papers were graded—that is, on Wednesday of the second week.

Goodness, it's a good thing Dumbledore didn't go into business, otherwise, he would probably be the one proposing the 996 work schedule.

As for the original timeline, Dumbledore received an urgent letter that prompted him to leave Hogwarts a few hours earlier, which was probably just a double-pronged tactic prepared by Voldemort.

At the same time, I want to have more time to prepare.

Ryan thought this before the exam began.

Ryan also witnessed for the first time the exams and cheating methods of the magical world.

In the magical world, cheating is mainly divided into during the exam and before the exam.

Cheating before exams often involves Potions, the most famous of which are Brain-Boosting Potion and Dragon Claw Powder.

The Brain-Boosting Potion primarily helps people concentrate better on their studies, similar to the passive ability of Ryan's pet Hamster Wheel PhD.

Dragon Claw Powder is said to temporarily improve memory, making one's mind exceptionally sharp for a few hours. However, every year, some people use Dried Feces of a Veela as a counterfeit and sell it as Dragon Claw Powder.

There are many ways to cheat during exams, and you can easily come up with several examples: Auto-Answer Quill, Memory Orb, Detachable Cheat Cuffs, and Auto-Correcting Ink.

Every final exam, teachers would distribute special exam pens, and even the exam papers would be protected with the strictest anti-cheating measures.

It was truly eye-opening.
