Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 244 The Trial Space is Completed! The bustling magic world!

Upon hearing this, Dali fell into thought. It was hard to say whether Lupin had turned misfortune into a blessing or a curse.

If he could help Lupin remove the side effects of werewolfism and allow Lupin to painlessly and autonomously control his werewolf transformation, that would be a great thing.

If that can't be done, then overall, it's still a bad thing.

The only option is to let Lupin use Snape's potion first, and once he has the upgraded version of the Restoration Charm, we can directly restore Lupin's wolfism to the state it didn't exist before he was four years old, thus completely curing it.

"Let's go, Headmaster Dumbledore. It's time to relocate and optimize the Trial Space."

Dudley had some ideas in mind, but he didn't say much. He simply told Dumbledore to continue the unfinished work.

Dumbledore nodded slightly, but did not set off immediately. Instead, he addressed Lupin and Sirius, saying:

"Remus, don't worry too much, just focus on getting better."

Sirius, you can act as Remus's caregiver, but be careful not to clash with Severus. Regarding Remus's condition, you both need to follow Severus's instructions.

“We understand, Professor Dumbledore,” Lupin and Sirius nodded in response, their expressions differing.

Dumbledore was satisfied and left with Dudley.

They have just finalized their decision: to use the room with the trapdoor underground passage deep in the fourth-floor corridor of the castle as the entrance room for testing and training students' courage, insight, discernment, and experience in dealing with enemies.

Furthermore, the entrance room, as well as the seven underground rooms of the castle accessible through the trapdoor, have been cleaned up, renovated, and expanded.

These rooms were used by Dumbledore and several professors in the original story to set up the barriers protected by the Philosopher's Stone.

After Dudley persuaded Dumbledore to change his mind, the project was abandoned, and the originally planned levels were not set up. Now it is just a series of empty rooms.

Now it's perfect to use it as a new platform for the trial space.

After leaving Lupin's ward, Dumbledore and Dudley were busy until just before dinner, when they finally completed the work of moving and modifying the test barrier on the playground, ultimately transforming it into a trial space.

In addition to the disguised Death Eaters and Ghost King projects that Dudley had previously set up, Dumbledore added more than a dozen new scenarios to the trial space.

The material comes from his more than 100 years of turbulent life experience, and some suitable projects with different training directions and moderate levels of danger were selected.

In addition, Dudley set up a wand storage room in the entrance room of the trial space to automatically store the wands of the students who came to participate in the trial.

Because we cannot allow students to use real wands to unleash real magic to attack the illusions simulated in the trial space.

Because the illusions are false, the spells cast by the students will eventually attack the floor, walls, and furnishings of the underground room.

If this continues, even if Hogwarts Castle is filled with a lot of protective magic, it will eventually be overwhelmed.

If it gets destroyed and then repaired, only to be destroyed again, and regular maintenance is too much of a hassle.

Therefore, the students were instructed to store their wands in the entrance room before the trial, and then, once inside the trial space, use the magic set up by Dudley and Dumbledore to create an illusion of a wand exactly like their own.

The Trial Space reads the students' superficial thoughts and allows them to use their wand illusions to release magical illusions, which then interact with the scene and monster illusions within the Trial Space.

This way, students can hone their spellcasting skills without damaging the underground room where the trial space is located.

It can even hone students' ability to cast spells without a staff.

If a student casts a real spell using a wand illusion in the Trial Space, rather than a spell illusion simulated by the Trial Space based on the read ideas, then it is equivalent to the student intentionally or unintentionally using the technique of wandless spellcasting.

This is a fantastic thing, but also something with a very low probability of happening.

If this happens, we'll have to trouble Dumbledore to repair the damaged room; the workload won't be too great.

Once the students complete their trials and return to the entrance room under guidance, or if they are sent back to the entrance room by the trial space because they are too weak, their wands will automatically fly back into their hands.

There's no need to worry about any magical brawls happening in the entrance room, because Dumbledore has fixed the entrance room with a disarming charm. If anyone tries to use a wand to cast a spell in the entrance room, they will be automatically disarmed and their wand will be confiscated.

There's no need to worry about students secretly bringing their wands through the trapdoor into the trial space. The wands will be disarmed and stored in the entrance room the moment they pass through the trapdoor.

It is worth mentioning that Dumbledore also infused the entire Trial Space with a portion of his own ideas to regulate and arrange its orderly operation.

It's like a computer's central processing unit, but a very user-friendly one at that.

This is a top-tier magical technique.

Unlike copying and imbuing one's own magical portrait with thoughts and memories, imbuing magical objects or architectural spaces with thoughts is extremely difficult and can only be done by alchemy masters or powerful individuals with extremely high magical cultivation and skills.

Dumbledore couldn't infuse too much into it either; the Sorting Hat didn't create a Trial Space with as much consciousness and spirituality as it did.

But that's enough for it to fulfill its mission.

……

Nothing particularly noteworthy happened during dinner or throughout the rest of the night.

We weathered the storm smoothly.

The next day was Wednesday of the fourth week of October 1991.

The British magical community, and indeed the entire Western magical community, was in an uproar.

Wizarding newspapers, both domestic and international, published a plethora of sensational news stories.

The powerful Death Eaters launched a night raid on Hogwarts but were killed on the spot, leaving behind a huge Dark Mark.

Following clues, Hogwarts professors and teaching assistants pursued the Dark Lord's soul through the night, but were thwarted by a mysterious and powerful Eastern dark wizard who imprisoned and took away the Dark Lord's soul.

The dark shadow that had shrouded the British magical world for decades was thus shattered from its pedestal.

Dudley Dursley, Hogwarts' First Assistant Teacher, delivered a public speech yesterday, fully revealing the cause and effect of the incident and deeply inspiring Hogwarts students to overcome their fear of the Dark Lord and hone their courage, wisdom, and strength.

Hogwarts is about to undergo curriculum changes and educational reforms.

Albus Dumbledore, the greatest white wizard of the 20th century, mentioned in a letter he sent to the Daily Prophet overnight:

"A wave of improvement in character, mind, and strength has begun and will sweep across the entire magical world in the not-too-distant future."

Effective immediately, the magical communities of multiple countries have jointly issued a warrant for the arrest of the fugitive dark wizard Xuan Mo from the East, and have notified the Muggle prime ministers or presidents of various Western countries to assist in providing clues for his capture.

This dark wizard possesses powerful evil magical artifacts and is adept at attacking the mind and soul. The magic ministries of various Western countries have dispatched a large number of Aurors to jointly carry out the capture mission.

Wizards of all countries are advised to take precautions in the near future. If any unusual situation is encountered, please notify the Auror Office of your country's Ministry of Magic immediately.

The Chinese Ministry of Magic stated that it has dispatched an elite Auror squad to assist secret practitioners from eleven orthodox sects within the Chinese cultivation world in their transnational pursuit of the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan.

Please cooperate with the immigration control departments of the Ministries of Magic in Western countries.
