Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 72 Pan-Consciousness Resonance! Stage Missions and Castle Access!

"So? Do you want me to completely eliminate the conflicts between wizards and establish a harmonious and utopian world?"

When the system notification in his mind was halfway through, Dali couldn't help but complain in his heart and silently question it.

Because, in his view, it is impossible for wizards, no, humans, or any intelligent and conscious life form in the world, to completely eliminate conflict.

Of course, if you're really going to fight to the death, you can destroy all the other individuals and leave only one.

But even if Dali could do it, he wouldn't; he's not that obsessive.

Furthermore, this kind of rigid, exceptional case clearly does not align with the idea of ​​developing and expanding the talent pool in the magical world, which was intended to address this regrettable event.

"So, what exactly do you want from me?" Dudley cried out in his heart.

But the system continued to transmit a mechanical voice at a leisurely pace:

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

[Phase One: Unification of the Four Academies.]

[The host needs to help the students of the four Hogwarts houses develop a clear and broad sense of collective consciousness, moving away from the vicious competition, rivalry, and antagonism between houses and individuals, and instead fostering a peaceful and healthy competitive and cooperative relationship.]

[Based on this, an excellent school atmosphere will be established, and sound principles will be formed, naturally and subtly influencing future generations of Hogwarts students and their parents.]

[This will comprehensively improve the stability of order in the magical world.]

[Completing this stage of the task will grant a fixed reward: 1 chance to achieve a conceptualized spell ascension (random type).]

[Phase Two: Inheritance and Innovation.]

[The host needs to significantly enhance Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's ability to cultivate talent, raising the minimum level of ability and knowledge of Hogwarts graduates as much as possible.]

[To deepen Hogwarts students' passion for magic, enabling them to innovate and continuously create new generations of magic while diligently learning and embracing the legacy of magic.]

[This will comprehensively enhance the overall strength of wizards in the magical world.]

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

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

[Note: The 'random' conceptualization of a spell ascension opportunity means that after the host obtains this opportunity, the system will randomly conceptualize and ascend a spell that the host already possesses.]

[Note: The 'Switchable' conceptualization spell ascension opportunity means that after the host obtains this opportunity, he can switch to a spell that has not been conceptualized and ascensioned at regular intervals for conceptualization and ascension. The spell that is switched off will automatically lose its conceptualization and ascension effect.]

As for the length of the switching interval, whether the system switches randomly or the host specifies the switching, and whether the host can decide whether to switch after the switching time is up, it depends on the host's effect on the completion of the second phase of the task.

The better the stage tasks are completed, the fewer restrictions there are on switching, and the host can decide when to claim the rewards.

After listening to the system's explanation of the two-stage task to resolve this unfortunate incident, Dali didn't know whether he should be happy or not.

The task is really difficult to complete, but the reward is really amazing.

Furthermore, he came to Hogwarts as a student, not as a professor or headmaster.

Solving this SSS-level regrettable incident is clearly the principal's job. Isn't this forcing him to take the crown?

Oh dear, this is so frustrating!

Just as Dali was lost in thought, pondering where to begin with these two incredible tasks.

He suddenly felt an invisible resonance between himself and the mysterious ancient castle where he was now.

This ancient Hogwarts castle, with its thousand-year history, granted him some special privileges.

Aside from the principal's office and the secret room, one can freely enter and exit any room in the castle.

Could the scoring hourglasses of the four colleges placed in the auditorium be rationally modified and controlled?

Could it, to some extent, command the Sorting Hat, the Book of Admission, the Pen of Acceptance, and Peeves?

The Hogwarts defenses can be mobilized when necessary, including the alchemical battle golems inside the castle and the covenant creatures outside.

He's taken off completely! Hogwarts is practically his territory now!

Dali's outward expression remained unchanged, but inwardly he was overjoyed, and his previously wavering thoughts quickly stabilized.

If someone treats him with respect, he has to return the favor in kind.

He's determined to resolve the regrets of Hogwarts' generalized consciousness!

"First-year students! Follow me into the auditorium for the house sorting!"

At this moment, Professor McGonagall came out of the auditorium and called to the new students who had been waiting for a while to head towards the auditorium.

Without hesitation, Dudley gripped his cane and walked at the head of the procession.

His cousin Harry, a little nervous, hurried after him, quietly reached out and squeezed Dudley's elbow, whispering:

“Cousin, I want to take this opportunity of the Sorting Ceremony to clear up the wizarding world’s misunderstandings about us to all the young wizards at Hogwarts.”

"No problem, do as you want. I'll cooperate fully, even if I mess it up!"

Without a second thought, Dali made a promise to his cousin, "By the way, don't delay their orientation. Wait until the orientation is over before you go!"

"Okay, cousin!"

Dudley's words were like a shot in the arm for Harry; he immediately calmed down and felt full of energy.

He followed closely behind his cousin, stepping through the wide-open double doors into the Great Hall of Hogwarts.

Floating candles, drifting ghosts, a magnificent starry sky ceiling, and a bright, spacious room.

The Great Hall of Hogwarts truly lived up to Merlin's words—it was extraordinary.

The four long dining tables belong to the four houses. At this moment, the young wizards from the second to the seventh year guarded their empty plates, gazing longingly at the first-year students who had just entered the Great Hall and were walking along the central axis.

Without uttering a word, their eyes darted quickly past Dudley and Harry, searching around for the three little mud figures they had encountered earlier on the platform.

Unfortunately, by the time all the first-year students had entered the auditorium and the doors were closed, they still hadn't found the joke they wanted to see.

Malfoy, mingling among the new students, noticed the inquisitive glances and couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude towards Dudley.

If Dudley hadn't shown him any respect and hadn't carefully covered for him, even if he had secretly broken the curse with Professor McGonagall's help, he would inevitably have been discovered by the other first-year students through a process of elimination.

In that case, he and his family would really be at a loss.

Malfoy's thoughts were naturally unknown to Dudley, who was at the forefront.

He led the group of new students, following Professor McGonagall, all the way to the end of the Four Houses' dining table, where there was a long, open space.

Further ahead in the open space is a platform of moderate height, upon which sit the scoring hourglasses of the four colleges and the faculty and staff seats placed horizontally.

One of the seats was occupied by a despicable figure that Dudley and Harry had been thinking about for a long time.
