My partner at Hogwarts is Tom

Chapter 67 Pokémon (Seeking first subscription)

The next morning, the first rays of sunlight streamed obliquely into Victor's lounge through the arched windows high up in the west tower.

Viktor slowly opened his eyes, without the usual moment of drowsiness and weariness he felt when he woke up early.

On the contrary, I felt unusually clear-headed and sharp, as if my mind had been washed by the purest mountain spring.

Refreshed.

He lay on the soft bed, not getting up immediately, but letting his thoughts flow freely.

In my mind, what I saw last night in the mind space of the Ravenclaw crown—those things about spatial magic, contract magic,

The vast landscape of intelligent architecture and countless fragments of inspiration, far from becoming blurred by sleep, are instead activated by the morning sunlight, becoming clearer and more vibrant.

Countless novel ideas, bold hypotheses, and ingenious designs emerged like a fountain.

Regarding "the nested stability of spatial folding," "the dynamic equilibrium nodes of contract magic," "the coupling effect of magic flow and spatial expansion," and "how to spiritually graft biological partner contracts with magical creations" —

They collide, intertwine, and derive from each other, forming a vortex of inspiration full of infinite possibilities.

Viktor couldn't help but chuckle softly; the feeling was simply too wonderful.

He turned to the side and looked at the luxurious cat bed next to the bed.

Tom was indeed still fast asleep inside, his silvery-white belly rising and falling with his breath.

Its four paws would occasionally twitch unconsciously, clearly immersed in a wonderful dream filled with dried fish and adventure.

Victor reached out and skillfully and gently stroked Tom's fluffy head and the back of his neck.

The cat purred comfortably twice in its sleep, its tail tip swayed unconsciously, and it shifted to a more relaxed position, showing no sign of waking up.

"Sleep well, little explorer," Victor whispered, withdrawing his hand with a smile in his eyes.

Without further delay, he quietly got up.

After a quick wash, I didn't even have time to eat the sumptuous breakfast that my house-elf had delivered on time.

After quickly drinking a glass of perfectly warm pumpkin juice, she couldn't wait to walk to the deck chair by the window and pick up the Ravenclaw tiara that she had placed on the small table the night before.

The icy touch returned.

Viktor took a deep breath and put it securely on his head.

In an instant, the noise of the outside world faded away, and inner peace and clarity returned.

His consciousness was gently drawn in, instantly sinking into his own newly transformed mental palace.

A deep blue circular room, a flowing silver star map, and towering bookshelves.

Everything was as it was yesterday, yet it seemed to have gained an indescribable "vitality".

Victor's consciousness focused directly on the hidden gift that had been triggered last night, those profound insights and design ideas about the essence of "space" and "contract" magic.

He no longer merely browsed and memorized, but began to actively and purposefully organize, analyze, and deduce.

What first caught his attention was the stroke of genius that Mrs. Ravenclaw used in designing the Room of Requirement.

The core structure of the magical space is "attached" to a key node in the vast and stable ancient magical network of Hogwarts Castle.

Within the "design drawings" and "flow of inspiration" presented under the crown, Victor clearly "saw":

The House of Requirement is not an isolated, created alternate dimension pocket.

Its entrance may appear in a specific location on the eighth floor.

However, the basis of its existence, the energy required for its changes, and the "intelligent" logic of its response to needs are all deeply rooted in the magical fabric of Hogwarts Castle itself.

It's like a sophisticated magical parasite, or symbiote, drawing magic from the castle to sustain its existence and perform miracles.

At the same time, its unique existence adds a flexible "variable node" to the castle's magic network, enriching the entire magical defense and functional system.

"Affiliation — Magic Node —"

Viktor's sparks of consciousness danced excitedly within the temple of thought.

A bold and brilliant idea flashed through my mind like lightning!

How about expanding the space in your own suitcase?

That portable miniature world, meticulously constructed by him, integrating multiple systems such as the Seamless Stretch Spell, Space Stabilization Runes, and Ecological Simulation Magic.

It currently relies entirely on its own magical input and pre-stored magic crystals to maintain stability and expansion.

Although well-designed and highly self-sufficient, it still has its limits.

What if—like the Room of Requirement, the core of the suitcase space could also be "attached" to a magical node at Hogwarts?

Viktor's mind raced, and with the crown's blessing, he deduced the details of this possibility.

The ley lines and castle magic accumulated by Hogwarts over thousands of years far exceed the total amount and stability of any individual wizard.

Once successfully attached, the energy supply of the suitcase space will be fundamentally guaranteed, the spatial structure will be more stable than ever before, and the ability to resist external interference and internal disorder will be increased exponentially.

With the support of Xi Jinping's infinite and stable magic, expanding the interior space of the suitcase, adding more complex environmental simulations such as extreme climates, special magic fields, and building more powerful protective or functional areas will all become a breeze in the future.

We could even try to build some advanced magical ecosystems or experimental fields that require a continuous consumption of massive amounts of magic power.

The most crucial point! Currently, the entrance to the suitcase moves with the suitcase itself.

If a permanent, stable spatial connection point could be established within Hogwarts Castle, it would be equivalent to creating a "fixed portal" for the suitcase within the castle.

The advantages are obvious: entry and exit are more convenient and discreet, eliminating the need to carry a physical box, while the box itself can serve as a backup entrance or for special purposes.

It is possible to permanently house infrequently used but important facilities, reserves, or even dangerous experimental sites within a suitcase, with secure access via a fixed entrance.

This could even lay the foundation for developing the suitcase space into some kind of "demigod" or "secret realm," or even a real small world in the future!

This idea thrilled Viktor.

This also brings benefits to Hogwarts, such as increasing its cultural foundation, stabilizing its space, and enriching its defenses and species.

Of course, he was also keenly aware of the enormous challenges involved.

How to accurately locate nodes in the Hogwarts Magic Network that are suitable for "affiliation" and are relatively safe and hidden.

How to establish a stable, safe, and controllable spatial passage connection without interfering with or damaging the castle's original magical system.

And how to obtain permission to "affiliate" with Hogwarts' magical network, which possesses strong autonomy and an ancient guardian contract.

Perhaps I could first create something as a transitional item, establishing a connection between my suitcase and the castle.

Perhaps young wizards would be a good medium.

Little Wizard, Suitcase, Fantastic Beasts —

"Perhaps games are a good entry point; this direction should be sound, and its potential is limitless—"

Viktor muttered to himself in his mental palace, his eyes gleaming with the fervent light of a researcher.
