Dieting Magic
"That's good. Thanks to you, Ryan." Harry breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Harry didn't have time to express his gratitude further.
With that, he said, "Alright, I should go now."
Ryan has vanished without a trace.
Just as Harry was wondering why Ryan was walking so fast.
A familiar voice came from afar.
That was the last person he wanted to see right now— Arthur Weasley.
His father-in-law may have been separated from him by only one door this morning.
"You're here, Harry."
I just met Ron at Hagrid's.
You guessed the riddle correctly.
"Molly Weasley is very worried about you," Mr. Weasley said, his words somewhat incoherent.
Harry was somewhat desperate; his suspicions had likely come true.
Mr. Weasley must have something to say about the match.
His prolonged reluctance to get to the point and his evasive gaze both spoke volumes.
But the fire dragon Lyle was lying on the ground with his eyes covered.
This prevented Harry from using the excuse that dragons were too dangerous or that he wasn't used to strangers.
Three minutes later
He decided to give up entirely.
So he asked stiffly, "Dumbledore here this morning too?"
The air suddenly became quiet.
Mr. Weasley across from him paused for a moment.
Then, rubbing his Mediterranean Sea, he lowered his head and said, "He's not here, and it's just me. Do you think you can Scourgify?"
"I used it."
"That's good."
What were you going to say?
"At 2 PM, all Champion must assemble at the edge of the Forbidden Forest."
In order, they rode their respective dragons to the Quidditch Pitch above Hogwarts.
That will serve as the starting point for the entire racetrack.
Ryan's quick departure wasn't really due to the appearance of Arthur Weasley.
After all, he could easily hide his presence.
They stood by openly and honestly.
But mainly, he's not used to being around guys.
Even Harry, who could be considered his friend.
And if he were there, he wouldn't have seen the funny scene of Harry throwing in his trash and Arthur Weasley asking if there was anything interesting about the Scourgify.
Next, he just needs to wait for the game to begin.
But first, he and Hermione had to accomplish something.
It's 1:30.
Inside the Great Hall of Hogwarts.
It was almost packed with students.
They were mostly scattered around their respective long tables, arranged by college or school.
Just like before a regular meal or banquet.
They also mostly discovered that the Champion had all disappeared.
They started discussing it animatedly.
And every now and then he would look up at the large white cloud in the magical ceiling.
And the Quidditch Pitch, which is both familiar and unfamiliar to them.
They were all looking forward to seeing how spectacular and dazzling their ascent would be.
However, a large area in the center of Ravenclaw's long table was empty.
The students sitting on either side were also very quiet, making them seem out of place.
"Hermione, recite it to me again." It was Ryan who said this.
Not long ago, she unexpectedly learned from Ryan the secret that Ryan didn't actually need to eat.
She became interested in this.
I want to learn this magic that allows me to forgo food.
This way, she can save time for meals and do things she considers more valuable—reading, practicing magic, etc.
"Herbivores are good at walking but foolish, carnivores are brave and fierce, grain-eaters Wisdom and skillful, those who eat air are divine and long-lived, and those who do not eat are immortal and divine," Hermione said.
This originates from Dai De's "Book of Rites of Dai the Elder: Basic Destiny" in the Western Han Dynasty.
Its meaning is: those who eat grass are good at moving around but dull; those who eat meat are brave and strong; those who eat grains are clever and skillful; those who eat the essence of heaven and earth have bright eyes and long life; and those who eat nothing are immortal gods.
The Dieting Magic that I'm about to teach you comes from this.
The "qi of heaven and earth" here is a term used in the Far Eastern wizarding community.
If you were to apply this to the Britain context, you might consider it a magical magnetic field.
Magical magnetic fields are everywhere, but they become stronger where wizards gather.
The magical aura of Hogwarts, which has endured for a thousand years, is undoubtedly the strongest.
As a result, all electrical appliances became unusable at Hogwarts.
"Does this mean I'll find it easier to learn the Dieting Magic here?"
"That's one way to understand it. Countless traces of magic have been left here."
This makes it extremely easy for young wizards to get started when learning magic with corresponding traces.
While the Dieting Magic I mentioned is something I just created, I have already performed it many times in the past.
Corresponding magical traces were left behind.
"Then what else do I need to prepare?"
"No need. You don't need to learn it from scratch."
It is inherently difficult. It tests not one's breadth of knowledge, but rather one's depth within the realm of magic.
The difficulty is comparable to the Phoenix Metamorphosis I taught you before.
But you also know that the reason you were able to learn this in your Phoenix Metamorphosis is because you prayed to me Demonic Moon, in my true form.
"Are you going to—" Hermione looked around.
Although she knew that others couldn't see Ryan.
But with so many people around, isn't this a bit strange?
Ryan had previously said that she could master the Dieting Magic in half an hour in the Great Hall without anything too complicated.
If this magic is truly as difficult as the Phoenix Metamorphosis.
Then it's likely that Ryan will transform into the moon again, receive her prayers, and guide the moon's magic into her body.
"No," Ryan shook his head, "You've heard of the Gubraithian Fire, haven't you?"
"A very precious magical flame. Even the most powerful wizard can only create a handful of them within their limited lifespan."
"It is the Demonic Moon you learned the art of Dieting Magic."
Its creation, birth, and eternal existence are actually related to magical magnetic fields.
It draws inexhaustibly the power of heaven and earth to maintain its eternal existence.
It's like a wizard who has learned the Dieting Magic, using the energy of heaven and earth, that is, the magical magnetic field, as its own existence.
"Take a look at this." Ryan waved his wand, and a piece of parchment appeared in Hermione's hand.
It was covered with densely packed incantations.
"This is?"
"This is the incantation for the ritual of Dieting Magic."
It's very long, and more like Ancient Magic.
It's also more difficult.
But with your skill level, you can start right away.
After I finish reciting the incantation, I will give you a celestial fire.
All you need to do is empty your mind and body.
Accept it.
It will act as a bridge between you and the magical magnetic field, and the power of the magical magnetic field will be transformed into the nutrients you need.
The transformation process is very complex.
But you don't need to remember it.
They have been simplified into incantations.
You just need to get used to it.
When you are hungry, silently recite a spell.
Begin the conversion.
"So, all I need to do is memorize the incantation?"
Moreover, I didn't actually learn it.
"Instead, it's through your incantations that you draw upon and transform the power of the magical magnetic field." Hermione couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"That's how it was in the early stages."
But as time went by,
Your body will remember how the Gubraithian Fire absorbed magical magnetic fields and how the magic power within your body gathered into a net when incantations were recited.
The steps to transform magical magnetic fields into nutrients.
"Alright, we can begin." Ryan extended his right hand.
A pure white, transparent flame, seemingly imbued with the essence of heaven and earth, appeared in Ryan's hand.
Hermione spread the parchment out on the table.
Looking at the phonetic symbols noted below the incantation, she opened her pearly teeth.
