Simultaneously traversing: the pinnacle of all realms

In the Transformation class, the textbook for this grade is still "Beginner's Guide to Transformation," and Professor McGonagall begins to teach them in depth about basic material transformation.

They began to experiment with more complex transformations, turning living things into still objects, which required overcoming biological instincts, primarily transforming targets (such as small objects) into hard objects—for example, turning a beetle into a button.

Xavier demonstrated a high level of proficiency with this spell—he could transform in three seconds, and the beetle pattern on the button was clearly visible.

As Professor McGonagall passed by, she nodded at him and praised him, saying, "Well done, Mr. Xavier," and even gave Hufflepuff an extra five points.

Ernie muttered to himself all afternoon—he suspected Xavier might have been secretly practicing behind his back.

Professor Flitwick was a truly good teacher in Charms class; the head of Ravenclaw was indeed worthy of being the champion of the Wizarding Duels Tournament.

His courses are explained in great detail, with each spell accompanied by a detailed pronunciation guide and spell diagram. He also shares his own understanding and insights during the courses.

Xavier always sat in the front row in his class, his notebook filled with the core elements of various spells.

Speaking of which, Xavier had also heard some rumors, some of which were circulating privately among Gryffindors—it was said that when Professor Flitwick was studying at Hogwarts, the Sorting Hat hesitated for more than five minutes between him and Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, making him a "hat-sorry".

Therefore, in the eyes of some Gryffindors, Professor Flitwick is practically a Gryffindor.

Of course, whether it's true or not is unknown, but I've heard that some Ravenclaw students have already set off to cause trouble for Gryffindor.

Aside from attending classes, Xavier's life was very regular, and he enjoyed this peaceful life.

Get up, exercise, eat breakfast, and start your wonderful day.

Sometimes he would find a quiet corner at Hogwarts to practice spells, sometimes he would go to the library to read, and sometimes he would go to visit Hagrid by himself or with Harry. Since Hagrid didn't have many friends, he would always happily entertain them. However, Hagrid absolutely refused to take Xavier to the Forbidden Forest.

Furthermore, Xavier discovered something else—because of the continuous use of magic to nourish his body, his strength had increased rapidly, and he was now no less powerful than Hagrid.

"Oh! Merlin's beard!"

Hagrid's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets at that moment, considering Xavier was only a twelve-year-old wizard, and less than a year had passed since Hagrid last praised him.

Moreover, it wasn't just his physical strength; due to the changes in his physical and mental abilities, he could cast spells far more often than the average junior wizard, and the power of the spells he released was also enhanced.

Xavier kept a record of his tests and changes, such as magical meditation, guidance of will, ways of magical nourishment, and the order in which body parts were placed—all of which were recorded in detail in his notebook.

When Xavier gave some of his notes to Professor Flitwick, the professor was clearly surprised that the young wizard had actually come up with something.

After experimentation, research, and discussion, the professor concluded that this was a very good and novel prototype of magic, and even inspired him with many directions for thought.

Professor Flitwick encouraged Xavier to continue his research, and with Xavier's consent, he made a copy of his data using "Duplicate Copy," and told him that if possible, he would give him a surprise later, but he did not tell Xavier what the surprise was.

Xavier could only leave, filled with doubt.

Occasionally, he would go to the kitchen, and the house-elves were always especially happy to see him because he was one of the few students who would seriously chat with them. He was their food taster, sometimes bringing new recipes, and sometimes just sitting in a corner watching them cook while they were busy, and of course, eating something along the way.

In addition, Xavier has an extra task this school year—to ask the house-elves how to use some spells from "Practical House Magic".

House-elves are masters of household magic, and they are happy to answer the young wizards' questions as long as it does not threaten their safety.

On a Friday in September, the Weasley twins lost another twenty points.

Perhaps due to their animosity towards Slytherin, or perhaps to counter Snape, the Weasley brothers, while out for a nighttime stroll, threw their specially made dung balls—the kind with a particularly long-lasting stench, one of which was better than six.

It is said that some young Slytherin wizards couldn't help but vomit after smelling the odor.

At breakfast, this became a hot topic at the Hufflepuff long table.

Ernie shook his head, his tone carrying a strange admiration, "Truly worthy of Gryffindor~, at this rate, their gem points this year will probably never be up to par."

"Actually, the Weasleys are really creative," Justin said, "but... how should I put it, they're not very good at choosing the right occasion?"

"So," Ernie put down his fork, scanning the group with a scrutinizing gaze, "are we Hufflepuff students just too lacking in adventurous spirit?"

Seeing the rest of the Hufflepuffs shrug and seem indifferent, Ernie turned to Xavier and asked:

"Don't you want to see what the castle looks like at midnight?"

"No," Xavier shook his head. "I prefer my bed and pillow. Going to bed on time is good for your health, and besides, it's really cold in the hallway after the lights are turned off."

He genuinely believed that children should be sleeping during this time of day.

"Of course, this excludes going to the kitchen to ask the house-elves for some bedtime snacks."

Ernie nodded in understanding, but his expression showed he didn't entirely agree. However, he decided not to dwell on the topic, as his egg tarts were getting cold.

Eight out of ten times, Hufflepuff loses points because young wizards are caught by Filch at night taking food from the kitchen. Sometimes, Filch can even catch a whole bunch of them by lying in wait at the kitchen door.

It can only be said that Hufflepuff students are generally not very interested in adventure.

Furthermore, Xavier does not believe that violating one's own rules when one has a clear sense of self is adventurous—like those who knowingly break the law, violate the rules, and then mock others for being too timid.

Having a correct understanding of the rules: what rules need to be followed, and what rules can be questioned—this judgment itself is very important.

If a rule is reasonable and designed to protect people, then following it doesn't require any extra courage.

If a rule is unreasonable—such as the doctrine of pure bloodline—then true courage lies in opposing it and overthrowing it.

Follow what is right, and refute and confront what is wrong.

Recklessness is not courage, and courage is something that doesn't need to be proven.
