Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 217 Return Trip Exchange! A Special Incentive Plan!

Because they tasted defeat and were injured, it was truly a disgrace!

From their appearance, they were not much different from when they arrived. Even the dust on their bodies had been removed by the cleansing spell, so they did not look injured.

But in reality, their souls and spirits have been attacked and they need to recuperate for a while.

The ghost cultivator Mo Xuan unleashed a barrage of ghostly howls, released numerous automatically targeting soul blades, spread out soul-hooking chains to entangle and whip the target, and occasionally sacrificed his ghost servants to unleash a powerful attack...

All of these are methods of psychological attack.

Wizards clearly lack the ability to defend themselves mentally.

The mental defense capabilities mentioned here do not refer to techniques like Occlumency to prevent mind-reading or spiritual manipulation, but rather to methods that genuinely resist direct mental attacks.

With the Guardian Angel spell alone, especially since the Guardian Angels of the professors and Sirius are not as powerful as the Orca Guardian Angel, it is impossible to cover everything. There will always be some Soul Blades that slip through the net and attack everyone's souls.

Fortunately, these people had extremely strong willpower and were protected by mutually reinforcing love magic, so they were not seriously injured.

Dudley has made up his mind to study magic that defends against and directly attacks the mind, in order to make up for his own and the wizards' shortcomings.

Perhaps we could combine the second phase of the 'SS-level Special Regret Event - The Lost Treasures of the Founder of Hogwarts' mission—that is, creating unique magical inheritances for each of the four houses that match the founder's traits—with the idea of ​​researching mental magic, achieving two goals at once.

Dudley silently made plans as he walked with his teammates from Hogsmeade Village to Hogwarts Castle.

The location they chose for the door key to be delivered was the same as their starting point—on this road.

Because of the emotional and spiritual trauma, everyone goes to the school hospital to drink some "spiritual tonics."

Sirius Black was no exception.

On the way, he stammered and somewhat embarrassed as he apologized to Dali:

"I'm sorry, Dudley. During the battle earlier, my reckless actions affected you and distracted you from protecting my retreat."

"Alright, that's enough."

Dali replied calmly, "I don't want to hear this kind of apology. I'd rather see you undergo a qualitative transformation!"

Don't let yourself constantly regret, feel remorse, blame yourself, or beg for forgiveness!

Sirius was speechless after being rebuked, which brought back painful memories from the past. He almost burst into tears and lost his pearls. After trying to calm himself down for a while, he made a firm promise in his dejected tone:

"I will make changes!"

Dudley didn't reply to Sirius. He looked at the three professors and deans beside him, who were also looking dejected, and offered them words of comfort:

"Professors, you don't need to be too disappointed."

Tonight, that dark wizard only relied on a powerful dark magic artifact and those poor Muggle souls; otherwise, he would never have been a match for any of us.

Even so, we have achieved final victory, and our objective for tonight—the giant snake Nagini—is in our grasp. We should be happy.

However, Dudley did not comfort the three professors, especially Professor Flitwick, who even felt somewhat guilty:

“Dursley, in the final moments of the battle, I gave you the wrong advice, which put you in danger…”

“That’s not your fault, Professor. I had the same judgment as you at the time. That dark wizard was too cunning and schemed against us.”

Dudley did not blame Professor Flitwick.

In fact, he and Professor Flitwick were not entirely wrong; Mo Xuan did not sacrifice twenty years of his lifespan, but was indeed bluffing.

However, Mo Xuan did indeed reach the third level. That bluff was not just a bluff, but it left Dali unsure whether it was a bluff or not, putting him in a dilemma, causing him to miss the opportunity and fall into Mo Xuan's trap.

"Ugh!"

At this moment, Professor McGonagall sighed, "That dark wizard is too powerful and dangerous. If we don't catch him tonight, who knows how many Muggles and wizards he will harm later!"

When you see Professor Dumbledore later, be sure to emphasize to him that he is the president of the International Confederation of Wizards and enjoys a high reputation in the international wizarding community. With his reminder, it will surely attract the attention of the magic ministries of various countries.

The best course of action would be to plan a joint operation involving wizards from multiple countries to hunt down that dark wizard.

Dudley nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly with Professor McGonagall's suggestion, and added:

“This is very necessary. That black wizard is a scum of China. We should especially inform the wizards in China and let them lead the arrest operation.”

"The shadow of the mysterious figure has not yet dissipated, and now such a powerful foreign dark wizard has appeared. The safety of the magical world and the students is in grave danger..."

Professor Sprout, who had always been very easygoing, also spoke up with concern.

She was very worried about the students, especially the safety of her own badger cubs.

Those who are in the know know best. Hufflepuff Academy isn't without exceptionally talented students, but overall, their attitude towards learning is rather lax. Many students would rather study food than powerful magic.

Another point to note is that, historically, the vast majority of Hufflepuff students have been too kind, have a strong sense of morality, lack vigilance, and are easily deceived, getting hurt without even realizing it.

In extreme cases, if the badger cubs pick up their wands and point them at the dark wizard, they must first, out of humanitarian concern, ask the wizard what he wants to do and whether he has any possibility of repentance.

As a result, he was taken down by the enemy with a single "Avada Kedavra" attack, and he didn't even have time to use his magic before he was killed.

Upon hearing Professor Sprout's words, Dudley recalled the original story of Cedric being killed by Peter Pettigrew, as well as the recent noticeable decline in the little badgers' motivation to learn.

Feeling a pang of emotion, he decided to give the little badgers a strong dose of medicine to slightly lower their moral compass and reignite their passion for learning magic.

Students from the other three colleges should not be spared either.

However, before doing this, we need to give the professors a heads-up.

“Professors, I believe you are also aware that Hogwarts students need a deeper level of education, both in terms of intellectual understanding and magical skills.”

"Dali said earnestly."

"Dexter, do you mean the knowledge and skills in psychology, education, and other Muggle subjects that those Muggle professors have taught us during this time?"

We've been learning and applying what we've learned, and it's yielded some positive results among our students.

Professor Sprout asked with a hint of doubt.

"Of course, everyone should learn and use what the Muggle talents teach. This is something that requires long-term commitment."

Dudley affirmed Professor Sprout's statement, then emphasized and bluntly said, "I mean, tomorrow... no, I mean, a few hours from today during the day."

I will appear on the playground, on that huge dark magic mark, and use the attack by the powerful dark wizard and our defeat that night to speak to all the students.

Stimulate them, awaken their awareness of crisis, thereby motivating them to learn and become stronger, and teach them the necessary caution and decisive measures to take when facing a dark wizard.

Do the professors agree with this plan? Are they willing to join me in openly sharing our painful experiences and failures?
