Hogwarts: This holy light is righteously evil.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"I'm speechless. I haven't even used this ability of the Pureblood Progenitor to control or enslave any dragons or phoenixes yet, and it's already being used on a bunch of people."

He also gained two pure-blooded maids for free.

However, Puni also discovered that this pure-blood progenitor would not impose any restrictions on those who were bound, as long as he had no such intentions.

So he couldn't be bothered to care anymore.

"Wow! That's it?"

Chapter 63 Wear it for a hundred years, and you too can become as strong as Headmaster Dumbledore (Bonus chapter, please read on)

The cloak was not clearly visible, but its texture was soft and smooth.

The twins quickly stepped forward, each picked up a cloak, and eagerly put it on. They tugged at the collars, turned around, and their faces were full of joy.

They loved the thin cloak because wearing it under the wizard's robes wouldn't make them look bulky like Puni did. It didn't restrict their movements and could also help them avoid being seen – it was exactly what they wanted.

Seeing the twins' joyful expressions as they wore the cloaks, Puni couldn't help but say, "To be honest, I'm quite envious of your thin cloaks. Mine is too thick, and it makes me look bulky and inconvenient no matter what I wear."

"Haha, who told you to make it so thick!" George joked with a laugh.

Puni shook his head helplessly and instructed the two, "Alright, stop being so smug. If you think this cloak fits you, just keep wearing it. You don't need to take it off."

"By the way, let me tell you a little secret. Besides being able to avoid being tracked, this cloak can also accelerate the activity of magic within your body. Wearing it for a long time will allow your magic to grow faster."

"Perhaps, if you wear it for a hundred years, you too can become like Headmaster Dumbledore and possess powerful magical abilities."

Upon hearing this, the twins' eyes lit up instantly, their joy intensifying. They quickly looked down at their cloaks: "Really? There's such a benefit! We'll wear these from now on and never take them off!"

George, wearing his newly acquired cloak with only his head showing, spun around several times, gently stroking the soft fabric and feeling the magic gradually activating within him, his face full of novelty and joy.

"By the way, this cloak can only be used by you. Even if others wear it, they will not be able to activate any attribute effects, and may even be repelled by the cloak's magic. This is because I have already set up a contract with you using a magic circle, and you cannot tell anyone about this."

Seeing their skeptical expressions, Puni smiled slyly, waved his hand at them, and said, "If you don't believe me, you can exchange cloaks now and experience it for yourselves. You'll then know if what I said is true. Anyway, no matter how much I say, you might not be convinced. It's better to verify it yourselves. That way, it will be more convincing."

Fred and George exchanged a glance, both seeing curiosity in each other's eyes.

They nodded quickly, eagerly took off their cloaks, and exchanged them to put them on.

But as soon as they put on each other's cloaks, the two of them immediately frowned, and the joy on their faces vanished instantly.

After putting it on, they didn't feel any magical enhancement or the activation of magic. Instead, they felt uncomfortable all over, as if an invisible force was repelling them, making it impossible for them to activate any of the cloak's effects.

“It really doesn’t work!” George was the first to take off his cloak and exclaimed in surprise, “Wearing Fred’s cloak, I don’t feel anything at all, not even a trace of magical energy. Instead, I feel very awkward.”

Fred quickly took off his cloak, nodded, and echoed, "That's right, that's right, me too. Wearing your cloak is no different from wearing ordinary clothes. There's none of that magical energy I felt before. It seems Puni was right; this cloak can only be used by us."

Seeing the two of them looking convinced, Puni couldn't help but laugh: "I already told you that this cloak is bound to your own magic power and can only be used by you personally. You still didn't believe me. Now that you've tried it yourselves, you should believe me now."

......

During lunchtime at Hogwarts, the Great Hall was bustling with activity. Students from various houses sat around their respective long tables, enjoying their meals while chatting quietly, their laughter filling the air.

At the long table in Ravenclaw, Penny was drinking a glass of clear, golden pumpkin juice in large gulps.

Sitting next to him, Qiu Zhang held a soft slice of whole wheat bread in his hand. He took a small bite, chewed and swallowed, then looked at Puni's slightly tired face and asked softly with concern, "Puni, have you been sleeping poorly at night lately?"

Upon hearing the question, Puni put down the pumpkin juice glass in his hand, gently wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue, and said casually with an indifferent expression, "It's okay. I didn't completely stop sleeping. I just went to bed a little late at night, but it didn't affect my energy during the day."

For the past few days, he has been searching for the Ravenclaw tiara in the Room of Requirement, often staying up late into the night, and even running out of stamina potions.

These past two days have been a tough struggle.

The pumpkin juice from Hogwarts was particularly delicious, with a rich, sweet but not cloying flavor and a subtle pumpkin aroma. It was exceptionally refreshing. He had drunk it too quickly in a moment of excitement, and his face still showed a hint of enjoyment, completely unaware that his fatigue was written all over his face.

Looking at his insincere expression, Cho Chang couldn't help but laugh, her eyes crinkling: "You still say it doesn't affect your mind? In the History of Magic class just now, your head was nodding off, you were almost dozing off. I was sitting next to you, and I thought you were going to fall asleep right away. Even Professor Binns was giving you a strange look."

“I didn’t doze off on purpose!” Puni immediately frowned. “It’s Professor Binns’ voice that’s so hypnotic. I can’t help but feel sleepy as soon as he starts lecturing. It’s not my problem at all. His voice is too dry and has no appeal at all.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Marcos, who was sitting not far away, had just stuffed a bite of pumpkin pie into his mouth. Hearing Puni's insincere excuse, he couldn't help but spit out the pie in his mouth.

He quickly covered his mouth, swallowed hard, and looked at Puni while coughing.

Who doesn't know that Puni used to enjoy even the history of magic classes?

Where can one be hypnotized?

Several Ravenclaw students who overheard the conversation couldn't help but lower their heads and chuckle secretly.

However, no one would really blame Puni, after all, Professor Binns's class was indeed one of the most boring and tedious courses at Hogwarts.

Professor Binns is the teacher of the History of Magic subject and the only ghost professor at Hogwarts.

He taught at Hogwarts throughout his life, dedicating himself to the research and teaching of the history of magic, until he passed away peacefully in his sleep one day.

Even after becoming a ghost, he did not forget his duty and still appeared in class on time every day to teach students the dry history of magic.

As a professor who is rumored to have existed since the founding of Hogwarts, Professor Binns is undoubtedly worthy of everyone's respect. He has witnessed the century-long changes at Hogwarts and possesses countless precious secrets of magical history.

Chapter 64 The Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin (Bonus Chapter, Please Read On)

But precisely because he is a ghost, transparent and without a physical form, he is jokingly referred to by his students as "the professor who forgot to bring his body to class."

Just then, Eddie, who was sitting diagonally opposite Puni, was looking down and taking big bites of a roasted chicken leg, with oil dripping down his chin. As he ate, he mumbled, "Puni, you've got the guts to sleep in the History of Magic class. If you've got the guts, try dozing off in the Potions class this afternoon. I want to see if you can get away unscathed."

As soon as Eddie finished speaking, the laughter around him stopped instantly, and everyone looked at Puni, waiting to see his reaction.

After all, Professor Snape's strictness was well-known at Hogwarts. No one dared to cause trouble in his Potions class, let alone doze off. If they were not careful, they would be severely reprimanded by Professor Snape, or even punished by copying the Potions textbook, or by helping to process potion materials in the dungeon.

Unexpectedly, Puni spoke almost without hesitation, quickly and decisively: "I don't have the guts. I dare not slack off in Professor Snape's class, much less doze off."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud burst of laughter erupted around the Ravenclaw table, even more boisterous than before.

Cho Chang smiled broadly, Eddie laughed so hard he couldn't straighten up, and Roger put down his chicken leg, wiping his mouth as he laughed heartily. The other Ravenclaw students around him also laughed so hard they were doubled over, filling the long table with a joyful atmosphere.

In fact, Penny has been well-regarded by the first-year Ravenclaw students ever since he entered Hogwarts.

From the first day of school, he displayed knowledge far exceeding that of his peers. He excelled in both magical theory and practical application, and he was also decisive, responsible, and had a strong leadership spirit.

Over time, the entire first-year Ravenclaw community came to regard him as their leader, and would seek his opinion on anything that came up.

However, the professors at the school had mixed opinions about Puni.

Professor Flitwick, for example, really liked Puni and greatly admired his intelligence and talent. Whether in Charms class or in their daily interactions, he took special care of him and often praised him.

Professor McGonagall, on the other hand, had a love-hate relationship with Penny. She admired his courage and sense of responsibility, but felt that he acted too boldly and was not like a traditional Ravenclaw at all.

As for Professor Snape, he seemed unusually indifferent to Penny, as if he were just treating him as an ordinary student.

......

Puni's life gradually developed a fixed rhythm, so regular it was almost rigid.

During the day, he would appear in all his classes on time and listen attentively to the professors. Even if he occasionally dozed off during the boring History of Magic class, he would never miss the core courses. In particular, he was cautious throughout Potions class, never slacking off and always maintaining a proper and disciplined performance to avoid attracting Professor Snape's attention.

As night fell, when Hogwarts Castle was silent and the students were asleep, he would quietly slip out of his dormitory and head to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor to continue his search for the crown that carried Ravenclaw's divine power, day after day without fail.

Unlike Penny's focused approach, the Weasley twins have rarely accompanied him to the Room of Requirement late at night recently.

It wasn't that they had lost interest in the "treasures" in the Room of Requirement, but rather that their inherent adventurous spirit had been reignited by something more mysterious, making them no longer content to slowly rummage through the clutter in the Room of Requirement.

What they yearn for even more is to wander through the hidden corners of Hogwarts, explore those undiscovered secrets, and experience the joy of unknown adventures.

All of this stemmed from Penny's casual mention of "Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets."

It was just a casual remark that day, but unexpectedly, after hearing it, the twins devoted most of their energy to finding the Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin. Every day after class, they would secretly search around the castle, asking for clues about the Chamber of Secrets, and even went so far as to avoid Filch's patrols and sneak into areas that students were not allowed to enter.

Seeing the two of them so engrossed and focused, Puni didn't care at all. Whether they found the secret room or not didn't matter much to him.

Penny knew perfectly well that Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was far more mysterious and harder to find than the Room of Requirement.

Even Voldemort, during his time at Hogwarts, spent a long time and exhausted his efforts to gradually uncover all the secrets of the Chamber of Secrets and finally find a way to open it.

The twins were just two first-year students. They had neither powerful magic nor enough clues, so finding the secret room was undoubtedly an impossible task.

Moreover, even if the twins were extremely lucky and found the entrance to the secret room, they would still be unable to enter.

The entrance to the Chamber of Secrets can only be opened using Parseltongue, a unique spell left behind by Salazar Slytherin. No other spell, no matter how powerful the dark magic or how exquisite the white magic, can break the seal of the Chamber or open the entrance.

The twins didn't understand snake language at all, so even if they found the entrance, they could only look on in despair, not knowing where to begin.

However, Penny himself had a strong interest in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, and even secretly speculated that there must be other ways to enter the Chamber of Secrets hidden in Hogwarts Castle besides the rumored passageway in the girls' lavatory on the second floor.

His conjecture was not unfounded, but rather the result of careful consideration and analysis.

He had secretly gone to the girls' restroom on the second floor and carefully observed the legendary entrance to the secret room and the pipe under the sink.

The pipe was narrow and damp, its inner walls covered in moss, and its opening was extremely small. It was clearly designed for slender creatures and not for humans to pass through.

Puni knew that the pipe was actually a special passage prepared for the basilisk in the secret room. The basilisk was slender and could easily move through it.

Salazar Slytherin, one of the four founders of Hogwarts, was born into a pure-blood wizarding noble family and possessed a strong aristocratic mindset, making him proud and conceited.

Such a noble wizard, when constructing such an important secret space as the Chamber of Secrets, would not have left only one passageway for the basilisk to pass through. He would have prepared a respectable and convenient passageway for himself and future Slytherin descendants, and possibly more than one, so that in case of emergency, they could enter or leave the Chamber quickly and safely.

Puni naturally wanted to find these hidden passages to enter Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

His obsession with the secret chamber stemmed not only from his curiosity about its secrets, but more importantly, from the fact that the basilisk kept there was the object of his intense desire to study.

As an ancient and powerful magical creature, the basilisk contains immense dark magic power. Puni has been researching the balance between holy and dark magic. If he could observe and study the basilisk up close, it might bring new breakthroughs to his research and accumulate more power for his subsequent plan to become a god.

But Puni was also very clear-headed. The basilisk was extremely ferocious and deadly. With his current magical power, it would be extremely dangerous to study the basilisk up close. If he was not careful, he could fall into a situation of no return.

Therefore, he did not rush into anything, but chose to temporarily suppress his curiosity and continue to focus on finding the Ravenclaw crown, while secretly accumulating magical power, perfecting his holy magic system, and making full preparations.

He already had a clear plan in mind: once he found the crown, he would use its divine power to further enhance himself, make thorough protective preparations, and then go to find the hidden passage of the secret chamber, explore its secrets, and study the powerful basilisk.

He wouldn't act rashly before then; after all, only by acting cautiously could he go further and successfully realize his plans.

Chapter 65 Quidditch Selection (Bonus Chapter, Please Read On)

......

Rest day.

Puni stood by the Quidditch stadium stands, slowly recalling the scene from yesterday's flight lesson.

The sensation of the wind brushing past my ears, the vibration of the flying broom in my palm, the perfect coordination between my body and magic—all these scenes vividly appeared before my eyes.

He secretly pondered that if he were to stand on the selection stage today, with his precise control over magic and keen reflexes while flying, he could at least successfully enter the second round of selection and would certainly not be inferior to any of the participants present.
