Goodbye, Bella
Luna chose the Phoenix Metamorphosis, just like Hermione was far away in London.
They made the decision almost simultaneously.
Ryan glanced at Luna, wondering if she had 'seen' Hermione's presence.
However, Ryan was a little disappointed.
He had hoped to hear the famous line from his past life from Luna or Hermione— "Only children make choices; I want them all as an adult."
Why are these two girls so honest?
He said to choose one, and they really only chose one.
And they turn a blind eye to the other one.
Both of these spells can be considered Ryan's masterpieces.
The Phoenix Metamorphosis Plus is different from the original Phoenix Metamorphosis; it can hide its physical body in a temporarily created space that Ryan named Dantian.
Moreover, compared to the original Phoenix Avatar, which could hardly sense the Phoenix's magic and could only be used as Shadow Clone Phoenix Metamorphosis, this one is much more capable of sensing the Phoenix's magic.
Those with exceptional talent may even discover the secret to the Phoenix's immortality and apply it to themselves.
After learning it, magic will undergo a transformation, like Nirvana rising from the ashes, giving rise to abilities based on one's area of expertise.
As for the Arborsage, Ryan simply introduced the method of opening up the dantian, an internal organ.
The Contract Tree within, supporting the long-term existence of the space and complementing the host.
It can also develop two abilities based on the tree species and its own area of expertise.
Ryan's enhanced version of the Arborsage and Phoenix Metamorphosis.
These two types of magic are not mutually exclusive.
On the contrary, the permanent dantian space makes the transformation into Phoenix even smoother.
Moreover, these two types of magic will not allow a wizard to develop three abilities.
However, if one learns all of them, based on the abilities that arise from the wizard's own area of expertise, it is equivalent to 1.5 transformations.
Compared to the original transformation of learning the Phoenix Metamorphosis, it increased by 0.5.
Now, it remains to be seen what abilities Hermione and Luna will develop.
However— Ryan suddenly turned his head to look in one direction.
"The Burrow? What happened there?" Luna tilted her head curiously and looked at Ryan.
"It's nothing, just a surprise." Ryan shook his head.
In his vision, Harry Potter's "Sixth Mission - Confronting and Processing Residual Memories" should not be truly completed until after the start of the school year.
Not long ago, around the time Neville came to the Burrow, Harry had just finished processing his memories and removed the Crimson Beast Face from his left cheek.
But Harry hasn't truly completed Mission Six yet.
If we compare the sequence Potions — Dark Wizard —to a capsule, then Harry has only digested the capsule shell.
The drugs inside, those memories, he hasn't truly faced and accepted them yet.
According to Ryan's calculations, Mission Six should be completed on September 1st, the day Hogwarts starts.
But Ryan didn't expect that just by learning about the Arborsage, Harry Potter would truly digest everything in his dreams in one night.
This all stems from the sprouting of the Harry Potter Contract Tree.
"This is interesting. The content of Mission Seven is going to change." Ryan thought to himself, though he still seemed to be lost in thought with Luna.
Harry wasn't particularly surprised by the arrival of the Arborsage.
Two days ago, when Neville came to his house, he was happy about the disappearance of the Crimson Beast Face.
He can finally look in the mirror naturally.
However, even after he summoned it, the task panel in his retina still showed that task six was incomplete.
That was fine, because he finally stopped involuntarily getting intimate with Ginny.
He can calm down and do it himself.
But every day in his dreams, a tall figure appears.
Her hair was thick and shiny black, and her eyelashes were very long.
Her eyes were filled with infatuation, her dark, silky skin intoxicated him, and there were the ways Ginny could never serve him.
Bellatrix Lestrange, the name of Neville's nemesis, and the image of her naked body and superb skills in bed in her youth, kept surfacing in his mind.
He could never forget Bella, who called him "master" over and over again.
His darling.
The only person he loved.
He seemed to have turned into Voldemort.
He clearly loves her.
But the 'he' in the dream didn't know what this unfamiliar emotion was.
He rejected her and even harbored murderous intent towards Bella on several occasions.
The figures in his sleep and the occasional daydreams that plagued Harry were giving him a real headache.
He could only throw himself into physical encounters with Neville in the wilderness.
The only thing I could do was stay by Neville's side and watch over him every moment.
Harry was then able to realize that Bella was not his love, but Death Eaters and Neville's enemy.
She was to Neville what Voldemort was to himself.
So, after returning to his room, he didn't feel much novelty about the magical scenes he had just witnessed with the Arborsage.
I closed my eyes, banished the black sprite, and drifted off to sleep.
Outside the window, in five flowerpots under the Banyan Tree.
The soil gradually swelled up, and the Seeds underground began to sprout.
The radicle, plumule, and hypocotyl also form rapidly.
The embryo gradually extends towards the ground.
As the first rays of sunlight arrived at dawn, five patches of green began to emerge from the raised soil.
Five tender green seedlings appeared in the flowerpot that had just been bare.
As the Holly Tree saplings swayed in the wind, ripples stirred in Harry's dream in his room on the third floor.
In his dream, he saw for the first time the memory of Voldemort making the Horcrux Locket.
It was a dimly lit room, and a heavy little gold Locket lay on a deep red velvet cushion.
He stretched out his pale, slender left hand, picked up the small Locket, and held it up to the light.
"The Slytherin mark," he said softly, a magnificent, serpentine S gleaming in the light.
The sound of heavy breathing disturbed 'him', and 'he' looked at the ground with slight displeasure.
It was a familiar figure, a figure Voldemort had seen in his memories and among the original members of the Order of the Phoenix — Caradoc Dearborn, the one who disappeared six months after the photo was taken and whose body was never found.
His dark gray hair and distinctive mustache immediately reminded Harry of his name.
Dearborn's hands and legs were bound behind his back by invisible chains.
He was curled up like a shrimp.
He mumbled something as if he wanted to say something swear.
But Voldemort, 'he' seemed to have absolutely no mercy.
A strange, nauseating sense of pleasure welled up in 'his' mind.
He calmly drew his Yew Wood wand with his free right hand, the one he had seen a thousand times in his dreams. "Caradoc Dearborn, Dumbledore's loyal follower, his last student as Transfiguration professor. It's unbelievable that your mother is related to the House of Gaunt by blood."
Although it's very bland, I think you'd be perfect for Avada Kedavra!
Goodbye Bella, and goodbye to my cowardice. The green light of death flowed from 'his' fingertips.
Dearborn is dead, and motionless.
The veins that had bulged from excitement slowly disappeared, leaving only lifeless, pale skin.
Strangely, Harry didn't pay attention to any of this; in his dream, he did his best to memorize the address.
His remaining memories were entirely focused on that graceful, dark-skinned figure.
Memories of her faded away frame by frame, and a heart- Voldemort, incomprehensible emotion welled up within him.
The pain of having one's soul torn apart is nothing compared to this.
Huff, huff!
In the real world, Harry woke up suddenly, panting heavily.
Her emerald green eyes were filled with unfamiliar sorrow and tears.
In a daze, Harry couldn't help but sigh, "Goodbye, Bella— "
Haha, finally we got to use this meme.
Daniel, who played Harry Potter in the real world, was also infatuated with Helena, who played Bella, when he was a teenager.
I've written too much without realizing it.
Cool.
P. S.: In the novel, Bella is dark-skinned and must have been very beautiful when she was young (otherwise, why would Voldemort have had sex with her?).
The original story is told from Harry's perspective, so the focus is on Bella's physical flaws.
Bella had served more than ten years in prison after she was released, so it's normal that her appearance had deteriorated.
