An Unexpected Event

What is the name of Neville's toad?

Trevor or Fuklai?

Ryan didn't pay attention. While recalling his previous memories, Ryan discovered that when he first arrived at Hogwarts Castle, it was called Fuklai, and he had been called Trevor ever since.

Interestingly, it was initially found by the Black Lake, and after the Battle of Hogwarts, it jumped into the Black Lake, thus escaping its owner. In a sense, Neville and Trevor both felt finally free.

The reason Ryan thought of Trevor was not because it had left Neville again.

Instead, Ryan discovered something that left him speechless: Trevor also possessed a hidden magic, though very faint, enough to make Neville ignore it.

At first glance, this power seems to be like invisibility or the Disillusionment Charm, making one blend into the surrounding environment. However, after examining it, Ryan discovered that its principle is different from the former two. It is closer to the passive ability of the Smith Family —they can see, but the brain subconsciously ignores it.

This power comes from the moon, and the Smith Family's power also originates from it.

But this is not because the moon possesses magic.

The magic of all things in the world originates from wizards, and the magic they possess comes from the definitions of the wizarding community's ideology.

The moon is a celestial body that reflects sunlight.

From a magical perspective, its waxing and waning represent its own disappearance and reappearance. However, in the real world, it has not actually disappeared; it is merely an illusion caused by its rotation around the Earth.

This phenomenon, which exists yet disappears from human vision, is believed by wizards to generate hidden magic when distorted.

The Smith Family collected it and strengthened it through their actions until today, even engraving it into their bloodline.

This is why he is the Moon Mirage Body. If Ryan didn't have the skill of "thinking," he might have chosen a grander concept like a black hole or a white hole, instead of realizing or ultimately choosing the concept of the Moon, which is most suitable for him.

Trevor probably also absorbed this power, because of luck.

But despite his understanding, Ryan couldn't help feeling depressed. As someone who was China in his previous life, he was even more troubled by a certain coincidence—they all had the surname Lai!

In their frustration, Ryan and his companions, led by Hagrid, boarded the fleet of boats that would cross the lake.

However, the sullen expressions on the faces of some students brought a smile to Ryan's face again.

Even the greatest saint can find pleasure in the harmless suffering of others.

Hogwarts' rules, like the country of Britain, are old-fashioned and out of touch with the times.

At Hogwarts, especially Slytherin, many students come from Hogsmeade, and they should be able to simply walk home during holidays.

However, due to school regulations, they not only could not do this, but they also had to take off their wizard robes, put on jackets and blouses, and go to the King's Cross Station in the Muggle world.

And so, as the Slytherin students were forced to wear Muggle clothes and take a long detour home with mournful faces, Ryan cheerfully came to his senses.

And on the Hogwarts Express, watching the countryside outside the window become increasingly lush and tidy.

Meanwhile, Harry bought snacks again from the unknown lady selling things on the train, but this time he only bought a bag of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans to share with Ron and Draco.

"Ugh! It smells like booger!" Ron scrunched up his little face, but instead of spitting out the bean, he swallowed it.

"Mine is chocolate, Harry. How are you going to spend your summer vacation? After all, your Muggle relatives are too—" Draco trailed off, looking worried.

"I thought I could have some fun with them, since they don't know we're not allowed to use magic at home. But I forgot that Dudley is also a wizard. Luckily, Dumbledore said I only need to stay at the Dursley family for a month, saying there's some kind of blood-based protective charm to protect me."

"In a month, I can go to Sirius's house!" Harry said, half regretful and half joyful.

"Harry, you can use magic. The Ministry of Magic can't accurately determine who casts a spell. They can only know that there are magical fluctuations in the area and that there are no adult wizards there," Draco said menacingly, seemingly still angry about almost Dudley.

"What about the Trace '? The Ministry of Magic uses it to detect underage magic use. The Trace' is a spell that detects magical activities by wizards under the age of seventeen. If you, or someone around you, recite a spell to make you leave this place, the Ministry of Magic will know." Ron was completely baffled.

"I'm referring to the Trace, it just can't pinpoint who cast the spell. Harry, you can cast the spell, and when the Ministry of Magic arrives, just say it's that Dursley guy! Get him expelled!"

"The Ministry of Magic will definitely believe Harry Potter, and even if he's found out, Dumbledore won't allow you to be expelled," Draco said smugly.

"Let's forget about it. Dudley isn't bad either. If he doesn't become a wizard, Uncle Dursley and Aunt Petunia will probably jump for joy." Harry hesitated for a moment, but still refused.

"So, I can use magic! That damn Fred, and he even feigned regret: 'I always hoped they forgot to send this to us.' I was wondering why he and George were playing tricks in the bedroom last year, and when I asked them, they said it was some Muggle technology!" Ron said indignantly.

"Yes, wizarding families can cast spells at will. As far as I know, wizarding families I know even provide extra tutoring so that they don't fall behind wizards from non-wizarding families," Draco remarked.

He only now realizes how foolish he was before.

The wizarding families he knew were all Slytherin House for generations, and they all looked down on Muggle, calling them Mudblood and such.

But judging from the fact that they have to take extra classes and practice magic during the summer vacation, what they say and what they do are completely different.

"Why didn't my dad tell me these things?" Ron said, looking frustrated. Bill, Charlie, Percy had never used magic in front of him during their holidays.

"Your father, Arthur Weasley, is a formidable wizard. Why would he exploit loopholes in the rules? — Unless for For the Greater Good," Draco quickly explained for Ron's father.

Someone who didn't know better might think Arthur Weasley was his father.

"That's true." Ron nodded proudly.

Meanwhile, Ron, who was proud of his father, had no idea that something unexpected was about to happen to him.

Outside King's Cross Station, the slightly overweight Molly Weasley and her husband waited, their faces grim. Beside them, the haughty Lucius Malfoy and his wife had also changed into Muggle clothes.

They each held several photographs in their hands, which, from a distance, vaguely appeared to be a fair chest, its downy hair Winky in the sunlight.
