Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

The power she possesses comes from the Heroic Spirit cards given to her by Tsugumi, but the awkward part is that she's a Muggle... oh wait, I should call her a Squib.

In reality, there's not much difference between Muggles and Squibs. The former are people who have absolutely no magic, while the latter are people born into wizarding families but unable to use magic. If anything, the only advantage the latter have is that they are immune to Muggle banishing charms.

But in any case, she could not generate any magic.

This is a very awkward situation. Heroic Spirit cards require magic power to charge or unlock, and the fact that she could use them before was entirely due to the kindness of Tsugumi, who provided them to her for free.

In general, it is not possible to become a wizard later in life in this world.

But Tsurugi is no ordinary person; he genuinely has a way to help Harry achieve his dream.

His first step was to get Harry to find a powerful enough magical creature to fuel the startup.

Unlike wizards, magical creatures possess innate magical abilities; their power truly flows in their blood, rather than originating from their blood or soul like that of wizards.

Tsurugi said she could help Harry integrate the blood of a magical creature, but obviously, that magical creature would have to be strong enough.

After all, she only has one month left to live. If she doesn't integrate with a sufficiently strong magical creature to unlock even stronger heroic spirit cards, she'll soon be turned into skewers by Odin.

So Tsurugi, like a competent NPC, assigned a new task to the bewildered Harley Potter.

Mission: Infiltrate Hogwarts, find the Basilisk hidden in the Chamber of Secrets, kill it, and merge with its bloodline!

Rewards: Basilisk Blood, Magic Unlocked, Heroic Spirit Card Unlocked

This mission was practically suicide, especially since Tsurugi told Harry that the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets was a monster tens of meters long, possessing an almost incurable venom, and whose eyes had the ability to kill instantly.

Harley: You're asking me, a fourteen-year-old girl, to fight this thing? What's the difference between that and asking me to go fight Odin?!

Tsurugi was very generous and lent Harley a sum of magic in the form of a loan.

This magical energy is enough to allow her to unleash Jack the Ripper's Noble Phantasm once more; this is her only chance.

Harley is a very proactive person. Knowing that this was her only chance, she chose to wait at King's Station, select a lucky girl going to school, knock her unconscious, and then impersonate her to sneak into Hogwarts.

Under Tsurugi's guidance, the girl was locked in the Request Room.

After Harry finished using the bathroom and confirmed that she didn't have the ability to open the secret room, she went to the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle. She walked back and forth three times opposite the tapestry of the trolls beating Barnabas, and a door opened in front of her.

She grasped the doorknob, pondering the 'hidden room'. Once opened, she found herself in a small but fully equipped private dormitory room.

And Lilith, her hands bound to her body on the dormitory bed, her face filled with terror.

"Help me!!!!!"

When Harley arrived, the door opened, and Lilith made a noise in an attempt to attract someone to rescue her, but it was clear that no one would come in the middle of the night.

Harley walked over somewhat shyly, took out the food she had brought for her along the way, and said...

"I'm sorry, I've been too busy to take care of you today. Just bear with me a little longer."

After saying that, she began to feed her bite by bite, forcing the food down Lilith's throat despite her struggles, and then calmly dealt with her personal hygiene.

“I’m so sorry, but I want to live.” She said to Lilith.

430

Under her annoyed gaze, I apologized as I helped her change her clothes.

“If you behave, I’ll untie the ropes on your hands. Don’t worry, I’ll only be here for a maximum of two weeks.”

"Fifteen days will pass quickly, just bear with it."

—This child is terrifying!

Tsugumi was secretly thinking about this in Harley's heart.

Is it the driving force of fate that is so immense, or is it the disturbances arising from the intertwining of the world that make things more complicated and beyond his control?

Or perhaps, changing one's gender and losing two years of Hogwarts life could turn a person into this.

However, in Tsuruga's view, these are all good changes.

Becoming brave, decisive, and efficient is not a bad thing. And whatever her heart may be, she hasn't become an evil person.

After dealing with all of this, Harley acted as if nothing had happened, leaving behind enough food for the next day before turning around and leaving.

"What...what do you want to do?" Lilith asked, trembling as she looked at Harley's retreating figure.

Harley paused, turned around, and stared at Lilith with her golden-brown eyes. After transforming into Lilith's appearance, she said softly.

"Just survive, that's all."

My best friend is like a completely different person.

No—she might not really be the Lilith I know anymore.

In Professor Flitwick's Charms class, Lilith was once again unable to complete the charm the professor assigned, and sat down without changing her expression as Professor Flitwick sighed.

Hannah looked at the girl, her suspicion growing deeper.

Lilith's behavior lately has been so strange!

He doesn't talk much in the dorm, always goes to bed early, and seems to get up and go out frequently at night.

And most importantly—her performance in class was very strange.

Just now, her Charms and Transfiguration grades seemed to have suddenly regressed to the level they were at when she first entered Hogwarts three years ago.

Professors McGonagall and Frivi were both troubled by this, but Lilith always made excuses, attributing it to health reasons.

On the contrary, her potions class grades became exceptionally good—or rather, she did well in classes that didn't require much magic.

She did very well in Professor Sprout's Herbalism class, Professor Binns' History of Magic class, and even Lockhart's Defense Against the Dark Arts and Professor Trelawney's Divination class.

This is completely, no, it's an entirely different person!

Although there was no evidence, Hannah came up with such chilling inferences and associations.

Where did the real Lilith go?

Hannah considered telling the professor about it, but she had no evidence. The honest Hufflepuff boy, unlike Gryffindors, felt very embarrassed about causing trouble for his teacher.

Perhaps she should gather enough evidence before taking action. But what intelligent and reliable friends does she have around her?

Soon, as Hannah pondered, Charms class ended, and Lilith practically flew out of the classroom. Hannah watched her retreating figure with a complicated expression, then called out to the Gryffindor student who was also in class.

“Hey, Neville,” Hannah called to her Gryffindor friend. Seeing the round-faced boy's puzzled expression, she paused for a moment and whispered…

"Could you please arrange a meeting with Granger for me? I have some questions for her."

"Hermione? Wasn't she just here—wait, where did she go?" Neville looked at Hermione, who had been there just a moment ago, but had vanished in the blink of an eye.

"What, are you looking for Hermione?"

"She's been appearing and disappearing mysteriously lately; some people keep saying they've seen two of her in the same place!"

Hadrian and Ron also joined in, chatting amongst themselves, but they were also curious about what Hannah wanted to talk to their friends about.

Hannah hesitated for a moment, then voiced her suspicions.

"What? Such a thing exists!" Hadrian immediately became restless, filled with righteous indignation—or rather, eager to try it out.

They dared to impersonate Hogwarts students and sneak in; they're no ordinary dark wizards. We must strike hard!

"So I wanted to ask Granger if there's any way to identify this..."

“No need, there’s no need for such trouble!” Hadrian eagerly pulled out his wand, grinning as he did so.

"Come with me, I'll take care of this right away!"

Having said that, he ignored Neville's advice and hurriedly caught up with Lilith, shouting behind her.

Hey, Lilith!

Harley froze for a moment, then turned around, only to be met with a spell splattered across her face.

"Show yourself immediately!"

However, nothing happened. Hadrian blinked, looking at Harry with a sudden, inexplicable feeling of closeness, then reached out his hand to Harry and flashed a sunny, handsome smile.

"Sorry, it was just a little joke, Lilith. Hello, my name is Hadrian."

Harley hadn't answered; she was just staring intently at Hadrian's back. Suddenly, he felt a shiver run down his neck, a chilling wind blowing from behind, followed by a sinister voice that sent shivers down the spines of the four.

"Casting a spell on a classmate in the hallway and then launching a sneak attack, Mr. Greengrass, you're quite something, aren't you?"

On the road to godhood, you have to kill, kill, kill! : 299. Gryffindor loses 30,000 points!

There are only fifteen days left until Harley is about to be killed by Odin's spear.

She still has no idea how to get into the secret room beneath the school.

Well, it's not that I know nothing, it's just that the clues given by Tsugumi, the NPC in the quest, are quite abstract.

"You want me to find a plain, old black notebook in a school with thousands of students?"

Harley complained and questioned the clues Tsugumi provided more than once.

But Harley didn't have much to say in her defense, and Tsugumi said that if she was smart enough, she could come up with a solution, and if she was lucky, she could be saved.

Dongjiang said he had offered enough conditions; the notebook belonged to the true heir to the Chamber of Secrets—and that heir was currently in Hogwarts, waiting to open the next Chamber of Secrets.

Damn riddle maker!

But Harley did have a knack for quick thinking. After researching a lot of information about the Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin and comparing it with information about magical creatures like snakes, she actually came up with a way that might lure the person out ahead of time.

She planned to carry out the plan that night, but unexpectedly, Hadrian smeared her face with a spell on the way.

"Wow, it seems you're not far from being exposed."

Tsugumi's voice smugly echoed in Harley's mind, and Harley, noticing Hannah's hostile gaze, felt a chill run down her spine.

How was your flawless disguise exposed?

Oh, well, she certainly didn't put in much effort in that area.

After all, she was preoccupied with finding the secret room, so how could she have time to go and meticulously gather information and disguises from Lilith? Her decision to infiltrate Hufflepuff was based on her research, which led her to believe that the students there were relatively... honest.

Honest, loyal, and trustworthy, as well as hardworking, kind, and patient—these qualities of the college may sound like nothing more than praise, but for Harley, who has struggled at the bottom of society, they are nothing more than synonyms for an honest person!

Hufflepuff has certainly produced many capable wizards, but as the house with the largest number of students among the four houses, it is indeed the safest place for its students.

Lacking Ravenclaw's cleverness (shrewdness), Gryffindor's bravery (recklessness), and Slytherin's ambition and shrewdness (arrogance), loyalty and patience (ordinariness) are the best cover-ups.

She just didn't understand why Snape cared so much about her, it made her back ache.
