A magical journey that begins at Hogwarts

Looking at these headings, Aaron couldn't help but gasp.

He quickly glanced through the list to make sure there was nothing about himself before suppressing his shock and turning to look at the three people sitting silently on the sofa opposite him, their anger palpable.

"You three come with me."

Chapter 478 Insurance for the Soul: Trelawney Faces Dismissal

Aaron led Draco and the other two to his dormitory, then closed the door, cast a soundproofing spell, and placed a large spyglass on the table that could predict enemies.

“Your dorm seems a bit different from ours,” Crabbe said with a complicated expression. “It’s like the difference between a regular hotel and a five-star hotel.”

"It's alright! I made a few minor modifications using the Unseen Stretch Charm and Transfiguration."

"We've expanded the space several times over, and added some furniture along the way," Aaron said proudly. Then, as if remembering something, he pointed to the liquor cabinet in the corner, "Want a drink? I personally think you guys need to calm your nerves."

"Is it possible?" Gore was somewhat tempted.

"Shut up," Draco snapped, exasperated. "What kind of time is this to be drinking?"

"I'm not talking about alcohol." Aaron tapped the liquor cabinet with his wand, and two glass bottles and six small cups flew to the three of them. "Tranquilizers and euphoric agents. These two should calm you down."

Draco hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse.

He poured himself a small glass, and Crabbe and Gore followed suit.

Aaron waited until they finished drinking the potion and had calmed down before opening the newspaper.

“Harry Potter has a surprise for you. He has accused all three of your fathers of being Death Eaters.”

“Slander, that’s a distortion of the facts,” Crabbe said indignantly.

"He knew the Daily Prophet wouldn't pay him any attention, so he went to The Quibbler to spread rumors," Gore scoffed.

"Is it really slander?" Aaron asked meaningfully. "You should learn from Draco. He didn't say anything, although it wouldn't have made any difference anyway."

"I don't know if you know your fathers are Death Eaters, but Harry Potter certainly didn't lie."

Last June, I witnessed Voldemort's resurrection, a dark magic that used his father's bones, his servant's flesh, and his enemy's blood as materials to complete the resurrection.

He then used the Dark Mark on Peter Pettigrew's arm to summon his Death Eaters, and your three fathers happened to be among them.

"You called us here just to say this?" Draco said.

“Of course not.” Aaron looked at them seriously. “I’m warning you not to do anything unnecessary, or just pretend you don’t know anything.”

“But it’s all in the newspapers, can we just pretend we don’t know?” Crabbe asked skeptically.

"You weren't this anxious when Harry was being slandered by the Daily Prophet last year, were you?"

"Should we do the same thing he did back then?"

"This is so frustrating!" Gao said reluctantly.

"So what do you want? Go out and tell everyone that your father isn't a Death Eater?"

"That's useless; everyone will just think it's an attempt to cover up the truth." Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly. "Umbridge's announcement wasn't useless."

Although the entire school community probably knows what's going on, no one dares to discuss it openly. Your situation is much better than Harry Potter's last year.

“So…” A flame appeared in Aaron’s hand, and the two copies of the “Sing the Quibbles” newspaper turned to ashes in an instant. “You haven’t even read this newspaper, understand?”

"Neither admit nor deny; once the storm passes, everything will settle down."

The three looked at each other and nodded in silence.

......

As more and more people learned about the contents of The Quibbler, those who had initially doubted Harry and Dumbledore because of The Daily Prophet gradually changed their attitudes.

Neither of these newspapers was reliable, but they weren't fools; they could naturally tell which one was more authentic.

What puzzled Aaron was that Dumbledore didn't appear at all, which made him feel a sense of urgency.

The influence of public opinion is enormous, and Dumbledore couldn't be unaware of this.

Since Voldemort's resurrection last year, Fudge has repeatedly smeared him and used any means necessary to suppress his prestige in order to cover up the truth about Voldemort's resurrection.

At that time, Dumbledore did not retaliate or defend himself in public, but this time he seemed to tacitly approve of the escalation of the incident, indicating that he was prepared.

......

Shenming Palace.

Aaron sat opposite the thought entity, and just thinking about his guess made him feel immense pressure.

As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer. He can no longer be considered a mortal, but whether he can avoid suffering depends on the mood of the gods.

“I suddenly realized that the idea of ​​our ancestor Wicht was right.”

We shouldn't be overly ambitious. If we can master the instant-cast ultimate elemental magic, we'll have more confidence if we get caught up in a war.

"What's the point of saying all this now?" The Thought Entity rolled its eyes. "Although we can't achieve instantaneous casting right now, compressing the time to within three to five seconds isn't difficult."

Furthermore, light and dark elemental magic are quite cost-effective, and Ancestor Vicht probably considered this when he sent these two elemental magic books.

"They're all shrewd people!" Aaron said sheepishly. "We should listen to the elders more often in the future."

"What level of achievement can four enchantments on a bullet accomplish?"

"Not very good." The thought entity shook its head slightly. "The magic gun absorbs magic power and the bullets are enchanted four times. Its power is comparable to the full-force attack of a peak archmage. If used well, it might be able to kill an ordinary low-level archmage head-on."

"I know that. I'm asking how many shots have been fired?"

The character holding up one finger said, "One shot."

This was accomplished even after consuming a large amount of materials.

Aaron: ......

"That's not funny."

"It's quite embarrassing, but that's the current efficiency."

I dare say that even Merlin and Lemaître might not have been able to achieve a quadruple enchantment when they were our age.

Hearing this, Aaron felt a little better.

In fourth grade, he could only achieve double enchantment, so it was quite remarkable that he could achieve this in less than a year.

"keep it up!"

"I'll try my best, but the difficulty increases as we go on, so the more materials... the better."

Aaron's lips twitched. "Let's not use those materials for now, let's just use magic to carve it!"

"That's fine, but the success rate and power will be reduced accordingly."

That means we only have one bullet with four enchantments available for a short period of time.

"I know." Aaron curled his lip indifferently.

Because with his Thought Form, he becomes a Grand Magus, and even a bullet with four layers of enchantment is still somewhat inferior to the magic he unleashes at full power.

However, to be fair, he has now allocated half of his magic power to the Thought Entity, so this bullet can be considered a trump card.

"System, open the personal panel."

"Okay, host." The system's voice sounded, and then a blue light screen that only he could see appeared in front of Aaron's eyes.

[Host: Aaron Gaius]

“One thousand four hundred and thirty.” Aaron smiled. “It’s been a long time since I’ve checked, and I didn’t even notice that my magic points have broken into four digits.”

"Do you need to make a purchase?" the system tempted.

"Tch! I'm not listening to you this time."

"War is about to begin, who cares about spending money? Strength is the only thing that matters," Aaron said seriously. "Add all your magic points to..."

He suddenly remembered something halfway through his speech, and his voice abruptly stopped.

"Fine, I admit defeat this time," Aaron said dejectedly, then opened the system shop.

Aaron set his sights on the sheep charm and gritted his teeth to pay 1,000 magic points to purchase it.

This wasn't a whim; Harry had been going to Professor Snape's place every few days to practice Occlumency, which had kept him on edge.

Although his brain-sealing technique was at its maximum level, coupled with the mind-concealing technique passed down from his ancestors, which made him not have to worry about mental attacks, the Sheep Talisman could add another layer of protection to his soul.

This layer of insurance is essential; he may not need it, but he absolutely cannot be without it.

"A sheep charm?" The thought entity raised an eyebrow as it looked at the octagonal charm in Aaron's hand. "This is not a bad choice. Our physical strength has reached a bottleneck and it will be difficult to break through in a short time, but our soul power still has a lot of room for improvement."

"It's a bit of a pain," Aaron said, feeling a dull ache in his chest. "A thousand spells just vanished in an instant."

"There are gains and losses!" Si Nian comforted her.

Aaron forced a smile, then looked at the pale green pattern on the sheep talisman and silently recited "absorb".

A harmless sheep spirit flew out of the talisman, making a 'baa' sound, and floated in the air twice before merging into Aaron's body.

A faint green sheep-shaped pattern appeared in his pupils, before disappearing after a few seconds.

"I feel better than ever before." Aaron checked the Sheep Talisman's abilities and couldn't hide his excitement. "I thought the Sheep Talisman could only separate the soul from the body. It seems I was too naive."
