Chapter 150 The Deathly Hallows: The Cloak of Invisibility

Principal room.

Chen Hong sat calmly in the chair and took a sip of the tea from the Far East that Dumbledore had specially prepared.

Dumbledore sat behind the table, wearing glasses, his wise eyes scrutinizing Chen Hong.

A phoenix nearby turned its head and looked at Chen Hong.

Snape stood behind the headmaster, scrutinizing Chen Hong with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty in his deep eyes.

“You surprise me, Mr. Chen Hong.”

Since it concerned Lily's hope of resurrection, Snape finally couldn't help but speak first.

"Thank you for the compliment, Professor Snape."

"I heard that you used a self-created unknown spell when you defeated the venomous leopard and the giant?"

"Could you demonstrate this skill and show me?"

Chen Hong smiled, but did not answer. He simply took out his magic wand and waved it elegantly.

"【Sword Control Spell】!"

In an instant, countless swords hovered in mid-air, all aimed at Snape.

Snape's heart skipped a beat, as if pricked by the sharp blade, and he couldn't help but instinctively break out in a fine sweat.

Chen Hong then waved his magic wand again.

"【Blazing Sun Curse】!"

A small sun appeared behind his head.

Snape instinctively squinted, unable to look directly at the dazzling light.

Golden light shone forth, instantly making Chen Hong's aura appear sacred.

"Alright, Mr. Chen Hong, now I'm certain you're a once-in-a-lifetime genius. Put away your magic."

Seeing Snape back down, Chen Hong turned his wand, and all the strange phenomena disappeared.

“Snape, Chen Hong is indeed a unique genius, there is no doubt about that.”

Dumbledore waved for the two of them to sit down.

"Chen Hong, son, you are so outstanding, more outstanding than I expected."

You're only in first grade, yet you've already passed the OWLs exam with perfect scores.

He easily defeated the level 5X Poison Leopard, proving his strength.

So, can you tell me, someone as outstanding as you, what do you want to do after graduation?

"I want to be the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

Chen Hong's casual remark shocked Snape so much that his eyes widened in surprise.

What's the difference between this and an emperor saying, "I want the dragon throne under your butt"?
Snape couldn't fathom how Chen Hong could casually utter such a remark.

All I can say is that he's a true little lion, just reckless!

But Dumbledore's reaction was beyond Snape's expectations.

He paused for a moment, then stroked his long white beard and smiled with satisfaction.

"Good boy, you have quite the ambition."

"If you can do it, I'll be very happy, then I'll have someone to carry on the legacy."

"Since you're so happy, shouldn't we invest a bit in nurturing a genius?" Chen Hong pressed his advantage.

"I want a permanent pass to the Forbidden Zone at Hogwarts, as well as the Philosopher's Stone and the Time-Turner."

If you have any other treasures hidden away, bring them all out. I won't mind having too many, really.

Dumbledore and Snape were speechless, and the air was silent for a few seconds.

"Well, child, you're still too young."

"The books in the forbidden area contain powerful dark magic that has never appeared in Hogwarts classrooms—only upperclassmen can read them when studying advanced Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"Dark magic is naturally adept at corrupting people's hearts, and can easily lead a talented young wizard astray, corrupting his mind until he degenerates into a cruel and bloodthirsty villain!"

"There was once a genius wizard with similar talent who, because of his research into dark magic, would always have some evil ideas pop into his head for no reason."

Later, this once-brilliant wizard gradually fell into depravity, becoming an evil wizard who committed many wrongdoings and was imprisoned in Nurmengard.

Nurmengard is one of the two most famous prisons in the wizarding world, the other being the infamous Azkaban.

Dumbledore patiently guided Chen Hong, whom he saw as a child, hoping that he would not be exposed to dark magic too early.

However, Chen Hong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, old man."

“I, Chen Hong, am a man with the potential to be Merlin. No amount of dark magic can bewitch me; it can only tame me.”

Seeing Chen Hong's precocious appearance, Dumbledore couldn't help but chuckle.

However, it must be admitted that Chen Hong, who created so many spells at such a young age, is indeed a talent like Merlin in a certain sense, and may even surpass Merlin.

This made him hesitate and feel conflicted.

Should we let him come into contact with dark magic?

"Alright then, child."

An evil dark wizard has recently infiltrated the academy. If you can lead Harry Potter and his friends through numerous obstacles to find and defeat him...

I will grant you free access to the forbidden book area, give you the Philosopher's Stone, and authorize you to use the Time-Turner.

Chen Hong nodded. He knew that Dumbledore wasn't completely at ease with him, and this was the best that could be achieved at the moment.

The Philosopher's Stone is hidden inside the Mirror of Erised; only those who need it but do not wish to possess it can retrieve it.

Chen Hong could not meet this condition and could not retrieve the magic stone.

The Time-Turner is a cheat code that allows outstanding senior wizards to take multiple courses simultaneously, and it is kept by Professor McGonagall.

As for the forbidden book section, it has a large number of books related to black magic, many of which are ancient books that would be fought over even if they were placed in Knockturn Alley.

The vast collection of rare books there, combined with the massive collection of books in the Hogwarts Library, would be enough for Chen Hong to study tirelessly for an entire school year.

This is Hogwarts, an ancient magical fortress with a history spanning over a thousand years.

It didn't take long.

The Quidditch match between the Gryffindor and Slytherin houses begins.

Harry Potter displayed the Potter family's talent for riding broomsticks and was chosen as the Seeker.

Hermione discovers that Professor Snape is casting a spell, causing Harry's flying broom to become uncontrollable.

So he quietly crept up behind Snape and lit a blazing fire to warm him up.

With his robes on fire and no longer a distraction, Harry Potter indeed had a much smoother time.

Finally, they captured the "Golden Snitch" (a golden ball with wings), scored 150 points, and won the final victory in the competition.

The Harry Potter trio thus became suspicious of Professor Snape.

On this day, Harry Potter received a gift from a mysterious person—a piece of clothing.

The Deathly Hallows – The Cloak of Invisibility.

This is a treasure passed down through generations of the pure-blooded Potter family; it is the best invisibility cloak in the world.

Wearing it allows you to become invisible instantly, and can even block all magical detection methods.

Unless it is directly touched or actively makes a sound to attract attention, its invisibility effect will never be detected.

The moment Harry Potter obtained the Invisibility Cloak, he shared it with Chen Hong, his mentor who had taken good care of him.

Chen Hong acquired one of the three Deathly Hallows without lifting a finger. The three Deathly Hallows are the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Cloak of Invisibility.

After acquiring the Invisibility Cloak, a Deathly Hallows artifact, Chen Hong began to study it.

Using the knowledge he learned from Hogwarts, he attempted to decipher its principles and refining methods.

One night, Harry, Harry, and their friends witnessed a monster hunting down a pure white, holy unicorn and drinking its pure silvery blood.

Back in the dormitory, the three of them excitedly pulled Chen Hong, who was studying late into the night, out of bed.

"Oh? Harry, you guys are really energetic, staying up all night."

Harry and his two friends were a little embarrassed, after all, they had violated school rules by going out for a stroll in the middle of the night.

"Let's not talk about that anymore, Chen Hong. Guess what we found?"

"Voldemort has been spotted?"

"Oh, how did you know?" The three friends were all stunned.

"It was just a guess." Chen Hong sat up straight. "Tell me about it."

"We've discovered Voldemort; he's poaching unicorns in the Forbidden Forest."

He was very weak and survived on unicorn blood.

We've already investigated. When you killed the stag leopard, Professor Snape didn't appear; he mysteriously disappeared.

He went to the room guarded by Cerberus to steal the Philosopher's Stone.

"But he stole the Philosopher's Stone not for himself, but to make an elixir of immortality to restore Voldemort's power and allow him to make a comeback," Harry Potter continued, speaking eloquently.

Hermione pecked at the rice like a chick, "That's right, that's right, that explains everything."

"There's only one truth: Professor Snape is the traitor!"

Ron pointed wisely, his demeanor confident.

Chen Hong couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Since you have this suspicion, let's go and investigate it."

After saying that, he led the three of them to go out, but they ended up waking up the chubby Neville.

Before he could even say two words, Hermione swiftly delivered a "Petrify All" to Neville.

He fell down, still standing.

Poor Neville, he died before he even had a chance to speak.

Chen Hong casually waved his magic wand, and Neville lay down on the sofa.

Uh... at least it's more comfortable.

They arrived at the room guarded by Cerberus.

Chen Hong unlocked the door with a single "Araquo Open" spell.

Inside, Cerberus was fast asleep.

Musical instruments were placed nearby and were playing automatically.

"That damned Snape, he must have been here." Harry Potter was even more certain of his thoughts.

Chen Hong used a [Floating Spell] to gracefully remove the three-headed dog's large paw.

The bottom panel was revealed.

Pry open the door panel to reveal a passage.

Just as Harry Potter and his two companions were discussing how to get down...

The music quietly stopped, and everything became quiet.

Cerberus opened its eyes and looked at Chen Hong and the others.

It opened its blood-red maw and roared as it lunged to bite.

"【All petrified】!"

Chen Hong struck out with his staff, which actually immobilized Cerberus.

"It stinks."

"【Completely cleaned and refreshed】!"

"【Whirlwind Sweep】!"

The air suddenly felt fresh and comfortable.

"【Sword Control Spell】!"

Chen Hong conjured numerous flying swords that appeared beneath Hermione and her two companions.

"Step on it, and I'll take you down."

"Wow, cool! Is this the latest flying sword? I heard it's selling like hotcakes, incredibly popular."

Ron was visibly excited.

The group stepped onto the flying sword and, under Chen Hong's control, slowly descended.

At the bottom, there were some plant vines, pitch black, which looked disgusting.

"This is a devil's net; once you get caught in it, it will only tighten around you more and more."

Only by relaxing your body can you slide down naturally.

In addition, it is also afraid of…

Before Hermione could finish speaking, Chen Hong cast the [Blazing Sun Curse], and a small sun appeared behind his head.

All the devils' nets scattered, revealing a passage.

Hermione gritted her teeth speechlessly. "That's exactly what I wanted to say: they're afraid of light."

With a helpless shrug, Chen Hong carried the group as they continued their descent.

Upon reaching the bottom, one finds a passageway to an underground palace, accompanied by the buzzing sound of flapping wings.

Upon entering, one sees countless keys with wings fluttering in the air.

A flying broom hovers in mid-air.

There was a tightly closed door in front of us.

"It's obvious that we have to ride flying broomsticks and find the real key among countless keys in order to open the door and move forward."

Harry Potter quickly devised a strategy.

“No need for all that trouble.” Ron walked to the door. “Alahoko is open.”

No response.

"Araho Cave is open."

Still no response.

Hermione rolled her eyes. "Idiot, if it were that easy, would we even need this challenge?"

Just as Harry Potter was about to ride his flying broomstick, Chen Hong waved his hand to stop him.

"No need to bother."

"【Golden Light Mantra】!"

Chen Hong flicked a golden thread from his finger, precisely hitting the real key that was flying among countless fake keys.

With a sharp pull, the key fell into his hand.
