Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 46 SS-Rank Special Regrettable Incident!

"You skipped class yesterday, not only did you trade Pokémon, but you also went to Gringotts?"

Dudley calmed his surprise by asking an obvious, pointless question.

"That's right! I did even more!"

Dumbledore, sitting opposite him, grinned and laughed heartily.

Seeing Dudley's shocked expression, Dumbledore felt even better than if he had drunk Felix Felicis; he couldn't have been happier!

As the greatest wizard of the 20th century, how can he always be amazed by Dudley? It's time for a change of scenery!

Dumbledore said with a smug look on his face, "Yesterday, I entered Gringotts openly and legitimately under the pretext of settling accounts with the property of the dead Death Eaters, and had the goblins open the Lestrange family's vault for me."

The Hufflepuff Cup was enchanted with a copying and fire spell; once touched, it would frantically copy itself and become scorching hot. But that was no problem for me! Horcruxes easily obtained!

In addition, I confiscated all the Death Eaters' treasuries, especially those whose family heirs had died out, and made them public property for Hogwarts and the Order of the Phoenix!

I intend to use this substantial fortune to improve the lives of the members of the Order of the Phoenix, especially those who are struggling financially!

Dali, what you said earlier reminded me to pay attention to details!

I've figured it out! The members of the Order of the Phoenix follow me out of a sense of justice and their trust in me. I can't just give them orders; I also need to ensure their quality of life! I can't let them take risks without giving them anything in return!

I also plan to use this money to establish a scholarship for outstanding students in each year of Hogwarts, providing more financial assistance to young wizards from impoverished Muggle families!

Dali fell silent, unsure whether to criticize or praise.

He truly hadn't expected that Dumbledore, that old bee, used to only care about eating candy himself, never giving a single drop of sweetness to his subordinates!

Giving younger brothers a cut of benefits is something even elementary school kids know, yet Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of the 20th century, only understood and implemented it when he was over a hundred years old!

This is absolutely outrageous! It's outrageous to the extreme!

Isn't this taking advantage of the fact that Order of the Phoenix wizards are honest people?

Working for free and risking your life! What a ridiculous level of awareness!

Dudley is an ordinary person who cannot understand.

"Hehehe, Dumbledore, whatever makes you happy!"

In the end, all Dudley could say was this.

"Alright, let's not talk about these trivial matters anymore!"

Dumbledore noticed that Dudley wasn't very interested in the previous topic, so he took the initiative to bring up a more thorny one: "I've examined this Horcrux carefully, and the fragments of Voldemort's soul that he fused into it contain a lot of crazy and chaotic negative emotions."

Furthermore, it's imbued with powerful dark magic! I could destroy it using unconventional and powerful methods like Fiendfyre, but I haven't done so yet.

There are two reasons. First, before we have a proper way to remove the Voldemort soul fragment from Harry's forehead scar, we can use this Horcrux, as well as other Horcruxes we find in the future, as test subjects to experiment with various proper methods of removing soul fragments.

Secondly, this golden cup is, after all, a relic left by the founder of Hogwarts, and it holds extraordinary significance for both Hogwarts and Hufflepuff House. Therefore, I don't want to destroy it unless absolutely necessary.

"Dumbledore, you make a very good point."

Dudley's gaze was fixed on the Hufflepuff Cup on the desk. The system had given this item an SS rating, which was undoubtedly a very high rating, so high that Dudley at this stage would never even entertain the delusion of fusing with this ancient magical item.

In addition, this SS-grade magical item is quite useless, and its fusion is extremely cost-effective.

Turn water into wine? Make food more delicious? Teleport food to a designated location? Protect loyal, honest, and kind people?

It is said that Helga Hufflepuff, one of the founders of Hogwarts, was most skilled in food magic, and now it seems that the rumor has a very high degree of credibility.

Dali reached out and picked up the golden cup, preparing to examine it closely.

Unexpectedly, just as Dali's hand touched the handle of the golden cup, his system beeped in his mind again.

[Congratulations, host! You have touched a special item and unlocked an SS-level special regret event: The Lost Treasures of the Founder of Hogwarts.]

[Details: The four founders of Hogwarts each left behind a treasure for the magic school they had painstakingly built, to be used as the legacy of each of the four houses.]

But as the long years passed, apart from Gryffindor's sword, the other three treasures were lost.

In modern times, Voldemort, who appeared out of nowhere, found three lost treasures, but in a fit of madness, he turned them into Horcruxes, defiling them with his own filthy soul.

[Special Note: Resolving this unfortunate incident involves two stages.]

Phase One: Returning the Lost Treasures to Their Rightful Place.

The host must find all three lost treasures, remove the Voldemort soul fragments attached to them without damaging them, and finally place the three treasures and the Gryffindor sword in the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts.

[Completing this stage of the task will grant a fixed reward: 1 Conceptual Spell Ascension Opportunity (Specified Type).]

[Phase Two: Passing on the Spirit.]

[The host must create a magical legacy for each of the four Hogwarts houses that embodies the spirit and character of its founder, and teach it as a special course to students of those houses, benefiting future Hogwarts students.]

[Completing this stage of the mission will grant a fixed reward: a free fusion opportunity for the four Hogwarts relics.]

[For each magical legacy created for an academy and its teaching scale reaches a certain level, you will receive a free fusion opportunity with the corresponding academy's relic.]

Treasures can be lost, and their uses are too limited; only by passing them down through generations can they benefit countless people.

[Special unfortunate events only offer the fixed reward; there are no additional rewards.]

Dudley held Hufflepuff's golden cup, motionless, lost in thought for a long time, until he finished receiving the long system notification.

After processing this large amount of information, Dali immediately grasped the most crucial point. He quickly and silently asked the system in his mind:

What is the concept of a spell-up opportunity? What does 'specific' mean?

[The conceptualized spell ascension opportunity is a rule-level, conceptualized, extremely idealistic, and extremely sublimated spell enhancement ability.]

[Using this opportunity allows the host to enhance one of their existing spells into a conceptual spell.]

[Conceptual spells are not bound by any rules, have no cost or penalty when used, and can achieve any effect that can be explained by the concept of a spell.]

[The term 'designated' means that, after gaining this opportunity, the host can, according to their own will, designate a spell they already possess for conceptualization and sublimation.]

After listening to and understanding the system's explanation, Dali's mind was racing. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he asked the system again:

"If I use this opportunity to enhance the Restoration Charm, can I restore the dead to their former state?"
