Chapter 501 Summer Miscellaneous Activities! The Third School Year Begins!
The emergence of the dream realm greatly excited the white wizards in the British magical world.
Especially adult wizards who graduated more than five years ago.
Previously, they were unable to enjoy the expanded libraries and various training programs at Hogwarts.
Now I have it all in my dreams.
Of course, unlike the training projects in the Forbidden Forest, the Labyrinth of Trials, and the Black Lake in reality, you won't get any physical rewards for completing the puzzles in the Dream Realm.
But the acquisition of knowledge and experience alone is enough to delight adult wizards.
The Hogwarts students, who were on holiday, were also excited about the Dream Realm, a powerful cheat code for cultivation.
But after the initial novelty wore off, some young wizards didn't appreciate this cheat enough.
The emergence of the dream realm has filled the gap for young wizards who cannot systematically learn and train during the evenings and holidays.
Hogwarts professors can even teach in the realm of dreams, creating an online version of Hogwarts.
But teenage wizards are at a time when they love to play.
Even if one has opened the door to wisdom and understanding, and clearly knows the importance of improving one's strength, few people can make good use of all the resources at their disposal and perfectly achieve unity of knowledge and action.
It's really a bit much to ask of them to study during the day, at night, and even on holidays.
While training programs are more interesting than reading books or attending classes, they require long periods of focused attention and concentration to deal with various dangers and difficulties, and few people can remain engrossed in them for long.
Dali did not insist on this.
Wizards of all ranks can stay in the dream realm as long as they want each night, or they can choose not to stay and sleep soundly as usual, dreaming their own dreams.
Through ideological education and reform, and with the provision of abundant resources that are unimaginable in history, the minimum level of knowledge and ability of Hogwarts students has been adequately guaranteed.
In this situation, whether it's ordinary effort or arduous effort depends entirely on the Hogwarts students' self-discipline.
When we graduate and become adults, the differences will become apparent. I hope those who didn't try their best won't regret it.
If you can't raise your magical cultivation to the limit of your bloodline before the age of forty, you won't be able to enjoy the benefits of loosening the shackles of your bloodline.
After arranging everything in the dream realm, Dudley used the rest of his summer vacation to continue doing what he wanted to do.
He scoured the world for all kinds of powerful substances and energies, mainly the products of various powerful and magical creatures. He then used the [Absorb and Become Stronger] property he gained from fusing with the Gryffindor sword to absorb them, further enriching his abilities.
He also imprinted a thought-binding mark on all Hogwarts' allied creatures, including centaurs, unicorns, mermaids, house-elves, giants, giant squids, and their servant creatures—the eight-eyed spiders—that could be inherited through their bloodlines.
May they remain loyal to Hogwarts for generations to come, never to change.
This is not just a matter of loyalty.
Imprinting their minds has one advantage for these magical creatures: it grants them a degree of immunity to the magical or verbal manipulation of other wizards.
They will not be manipulated by methods such as the Imperius Curse, and will not turn against the teachers and students of Hogwarts.
……
As September approached and the new school year was about to begin, Dudley and Dumbledore received a special message from the British Ministry of Magic.
A werewolf wizard reported that a group of vicious werewolves, led by Fenrir Greyback, were persuaded by a group of unknown dark wizards to leave.
Dudley naturally knew about this long ago, and it even happened right under his nose.
Following Grindelwald's orders, the saints gathered intelligent magical creatures to serve as allies in their evil schemes.
Werewolves, being magical creatures mostly transformed from wizards, were naturally among those invited.
Moreover, thanks to the spread of the Stabilizing Charm and the idea of equality, werewolf wizards can remain rational when they transform on the night of the full moon. They have been accepted by wizarding society and reintegrated into the magical world without discrimination.
Only those evil werewolves with ulterior motives would occasionally gather together.
This greatly saved the saints the effort of searching.
Based on the Sharpening Stone Plan, Dudley allowed the evil werewolves to become an asset to the Saints, intending to eliminate them during the final battle at Hogwarts.
Especially that werewolf leader Fenrir Greyback.
This guy used to take advantage of the full moon to transform into a werewolf and maliciously bite wizards, adding new members to the werewolf pack. He was extremely despicable.
However, the spread of the calming spell and the idea of equality dampened its enthusiasm for converting new werewolves to some extent.
In the past, it was able to gather werewolves together and make them its subordinates because wizards who were transformed into werewolves would lose control when they transformed into werewolves on the night of the full moon and would be ostracized by wizarding society.
Without these two reasons, only fools and brainless scoundrels would follow a werewolf through the rough and tumble, cutting themselves off from wizarding society.
Therefore, Fenrir Greyback's enthusiasm for converting new werewolves diminished.
Coupled with the increasingly intense hunting efforts of the British Aurors, it had originally considered expanding its operations to other countries, and the Saints' invitation was exactly what it wanted.
It longs to one day destroy Hogwarts, kill Dudley and Harry, the two wizards who created the Stasis Charm, and sever the spell's magic.
At that time, there will be no obstacle to converting new werewolves and ruling over the werewolves.
Dudley was fully aware of Fenrir Graybuck's delusions, but he didn't take the clown seriously at all.
At this stage, what he is focused on is the seven exchange and learning teams from various continents.
……
1993 9 Month 1 Day.
The new school year has begun.
Hogwarts welcomed another batch of new students.
Among them was Astoria Greengrass, a descendant of a pure-blooded wizard who had surrendered, and a child of the Greengrass family, one of the original Twenty-Eight Holy Families.
In the original story, she is Draco Malfoy's future wife, a kind witch who is pure and gentle, forgiving, and without racial discrimination.
Now, her personality and thoughts remain the same, but she has gained an added fortitude.
Her parents were relatively open-minded; although they believed in the supremacy of pure blood, they were not extreme pure blood advocates.
Previously, under the guidance of the Malfoys, the Greengrass couple abandoned the idea of pure-blood supremacy, completely sided with the white wizards, became surrendered wizards, and participated in the great war against Ecclesiastes and the stubborn pure-bloods.
During the Sorting Ceremony, Dudley noticed Astoria, who, unlike her sister, was a good witch whose mind was already sound without needing any reformation.
With this in mind, Dudley had a sudden thought and directly used a conceptual restoration spell to erase the family curse on Astoria.
The Greengrass family has a blood-rooted curse that manifests in some family members but not in others.
In the original story, Astoria was the unfortunate one. The blood curse weakened her and made her suffer from illness, so much so that she did not live to see her and Draco's child grow up.
Even if the system doesn't unlock it, Dali won't stand idly by and watch this regret happen.
The reason Dudley had the leisure to pay special attention to the new students on the first night of the new school year was because the seven exchange teams had not yet arrived at Hogwarts.
In the original story, during the Triwizard Tournament, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's team arrived at Hogwarts on the evening of October 30th.
The story is different from the original, but the arrival times of the seven exchange teams did not clash with the opening banquet.
According to the timeline of communication and coordination between Dumbledore, the International Magical Cooperation Department of the British Ministry of Magic, and the seven teams, the seven teams will make their appearance at Hogwarts two days later in the evening.
