Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 461 The Dumbledore Family's Arrangements! Lockhart Returns to School!

Dudley and Dumbledore successfully completed the upgrade and renovation of the school rules, as well as the Book of Admission and the Pen of Acceptance.

The young wizards who were killed by Voldemort and the Death Eaters because of the prophecy of the Savior have a completely new school enrollment arrangement after their resurrection.

Ariana also successfully enrolled.

Dumbledore disliked fanfare and was also afraid that Ariana's sensitive emotions would be negatively affected by the attention of others, so he kept all his actions low-key and unassuming.

Hagrid, driving a Thestral carriage unseen by most, brought Ariana to his cabin on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Then Dudley, Dumbledore, Aberforth, and Orielius accompanied Ariana to the Hogwarts Express platform.

Next, take the path that every Hogwarts freshman must take, board a small boat on the edge of the Black Lake, use magic to propel the boat across the Black Lake, and arrive at the underground dock of Hogwarts Castle.

After leaving the dock and entering the main gate of Hogwarts Castle, during a time when there were fewer people, we entered the Great Hall of Hogwarts and were sorted into our house by the Sorting Hat.

As a result, Ariana was sorted into Hufflepuff House.

Old Deng was a little disappointed that it wasn't Gryffindor, but he was also relieved by the result.

Because Hufflepuff House is the friendliest house, Ariana will have a very harmonious and loving school life.

After resolving Ariana's enrollment issue, Aberforth returned to Hogsmeade to continue being the owner of the Hog's Head pub, while Aurelius went to the Muggle Talent Training Center to accompany Regulus and receive Muggle talent training in thought and psychology.

Aurelius decided that after completing his training, he would also become a teaching assistant at Hogwarts.

In fact, given his abilities, being a full-time professor would be a waste of his talent.

After all, the Obscurus that Aurelius once spawned has become the Obscurus King in the Dali Soul Space, so it's gone for Aurelius.

However, the magical cultivation that the Obscurial had once helped Aurelius develop was preserved under the powerful effect of the Dali Conceptual Restoration Spell.

In terms of magical skill alone, Aurelius is a true legendary wizard.

Of course, he was a novice in the legendary wizarding world, and his magical knowledge was still far from that of a true legendary wizard.

However, acquiring a solid foundation in magical knowledge is far more difficult than breaking through bloodline limitations and attaining the cultivation of a legendary wizard.

Given time, or even if it's true, Aurelius will definitely be one of the world's top wizarding experts.

It is also worth mentioning that Aurelius and Nagini had decided to hold their wedding in Godric Valley in July 1993, which was during the summer break of that school year.

For the next six months or so, Nagini will stay at the Hog's Head pub in Hogsmeade, where she will also help her future father-in-law, Aberforth, manage the pub's business.

After finishing his training or teaching assistant work each day, Aurelius could go back to the Pighead Bar to be with Nagini.

……

In the following weeks, everything at Hogwarts progressed smoothly and flourished.

The British magical world was also calm, with most adult wizards focusing on improving their abilities.

Outside of the British magical community, especially in the magical communities of European countries near Austria, things were not very peaceful.

Voldemort and her Death Eaters faced resistance from the British Auror task force and powerful Aurors and folk wizards from various countries.

Their plan to travel to Nurmengard in search of Grindelwald was thwarted.

She thought she was just having bad luck in England, but she didn't expect that she would still be having bad luck outside of England, and her luck was extremely bad.

Voldemort was powerless against the British Aurors wielding the Dudley's Magic Amulet, and dared not unleash a massacre before her power was fully established and she had secured a strong alliance with Grindelwald, lest she attract the personal pursuit of Dudley and Dumbledore.

He had no choice but to break his Death Eaters into smaller groups, keeping the group less conspicuous and avoiding pursuit by white wizards from various countries, while secretly contacting black wizards from different countries to see if he could recruit more people.

She herself, along with more than twenty elite Death Eaters, continued their journey towards Neumungade, Austria.

Along the way, they had to keep moving forward while also fighting off the occasional appearance of highly motivated elite white wizards.

These white wizards who dared to pursue Voldemort and the Death Eaters all hoped to gain the blessing of the founder of Hogwarts. They also had a legitimate reason to attack, so they were extremely decisive and fought very bravely.

This caused Voldemort a great deal of suffering.

Dudley's clone, meanwhile, was secretly manipulating the situation with his conceptual powers, ensuring that no white wizard died an unnatural death and that Voldemort's Death Eaters didn't die too quickly or in too large numbers.

While delaying the inevitable and allowing sufficient time for development, Voldemort's forces must ensure that the 'Sharpening Stone' plan can be implemented.

Meanwhile, on Dudley's side, after a period without any extra troubles, in early November, two months after the start of the new school year, Lockhart returned to school covered in wounds to take up his post.

This guy has been ravaged by various magical injuries and is in very poor physical condition.

Yet she still made a special effort to change into an exquisite and sophisticated outfit, and returned looking radiant with that charming smile that was widely admired.

Upon arriving at the school, I encountered a series of new faces. I forced myself to suppress my pain and displayed my social skills and elegant demeanor, greeting both the new and old professors one by one.

This made Dali sigh: "It's true that saving face leads to suffering."

Dudley sat alone in his 'Practical Magic Skills Enhancement Class' classroom, compiling new magic books and pondering magical research topics, while using his conceptual perception ability to watch Lockhart grit his teeth and laugh and talk at school.

Lockhart soon couldn't hold on any longer.

While keeping a smile on his face, he anxiously inquired about Dali's location, and after wandering around for a while, he finally arrived in front of Dali.

“Dressley’s teaching assistant, I…”

Lockhart spoke.

He didn't dare show that affected smile in front of Dudley anymore, and given his current state, it was difficult for him to even smile.

Lockhart stopped laughing, but Dudley grinned, showing his big teeth.

He interrupted Lockhart, taking over the conversation and saying, "You want to ask if there's any hope for you with these magical injuries, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Assistant Professor Dursley really has a keen eye; he spotted it right away... hiss... ahh..."

Lockhart wanted to say a few more words of praise to Dudley, but before he could finish speaking, he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan from a sudden wave of pain.

"oops!"

Seeing this, Dali let out an affected sigh, "If you hadn't been so charming and wasting time just now, and had come to me twenty minutes earlier, your injuries wouldn't be such a big problem."

But now…

"Huh? How is it now?" Lockhart asked hurriedly, his face changing drastically in fright.

"It's hopeless now..."

"Gim!"

Before Dudley could finish speaking, Lockhart's heart sank. His spirits collapsed, and he lost consciousness, letting out a strange cry before fainting.

"...Yeah, right!"

Dudley only finished speaking after Lockhart fell into a coma.
