Chapter 154: Hermione's Birthday Gift
As his thoughts turned, Professor Aisen's gaze shifted, already looking towards the Gryffindor Common Room. The scene that entered Professor Aisen's mind made him click his tongue in admiration.
He saw that the Gryffindor Common Room was empty. Only in the corner near the fireplace, Hermione was still sitting there.
The table next to her was piled high with books and textbooks. Zooming in, one could see arithmetic divination charts, a dictionary of runes, diagrams of how Muggles move heavy objects, and densely packed notes.
Hermione sat there quietly, continuously copying something with the quill in her hand. Her face, illuminated by the firelight, was delicately beautiful and particularly striking.
On a stand near the wall not far from Hermione, a crystal ball placed there glowed with faint light, seemingly providing a power that dispelled some negative emotions.
Professor Aisen noticed that despite the effect of the Calming Crystal Ball, Hermione's state was still a far cry from how she was in her first and second years.
Before, Hermione had breezed through every course she studied each day. Now, it seemed even Hermione, the academic prodigy, was finding studying less effortless.
"Tsk tsk! Is this the pride of an academic prodigy?" After withdrawing his gaze, Professor Aisen couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
The next morning, Professor Aisen woke up early and went to the Library.
As expected, Hermione was the earliest student to arrive at the Library. Leaving the Common Room the latest at night and arriving at the Library the earliest in the morning, Hermione was likely going to have a tough time this school year.
"Hermione, you're here at the Library so early?" Looking at Hermione, who was sitting quietly at a table flipping through materials, Professor Aisen walked straight over and sat beside her.
"Professor Aisen!" Hermione turned her head and was surprised to find that the person who had come was Professor Aisen.
"Is the pressure of taking all elective courses very high?" There was a hint of fatigue on Hermione's face, likely from not sleeping well the previous night.
"It's definitely not as easy, but I can keep going!" Hermione nodded, not wanting to show any unusual signs in front of Professor Aisen.
"Today is your birthday, right?" Professor Aisen's lips curved slightly as he changed the subject and mentioned Hermione's birthday.
"Ah—Professor Aisen, you know my birthday?" Hermione's face showed a surprised expression.
"That's right. I've noticed you've been under a bit of study pressure lately, so I'm giving you a birthday gift." Professor Aisen raised an eyebrow, and a silver bracelet appeared in his hand.
"Bi—Birthday gift?" Hermione stammered, and visibly, her face quickly turned red.
"Come, try its effect." Seeing Hermione's reaction, Professor Aisen smiled slightly and handed her the bracelet.
Hermione blushingly took the bracelet and put it on her left wrist. Then, the bracelet automatically contracted to fit, perfectly conforming to Hermione's wrist. A slender, fair section of her arm was revealed, which, paired with the silver bracelet, was just right.
The moment she put on the bracelet, Hermione's expression quickly changed. A warm current surged from the bracelet, instantly flowing through her body, as if washing away her fatigue. It finally drilled into her mind, making Hermione shiver involuntarily. Afterwards, Hermione found herself completely refreshed.
"Professor Aisen! This is—" Hermione stared blankly at Professor Aisen, her face showing an expression of disbelief.
"That's right. I think taking several extra courses takes a bit too much time. This will definitely lead to greater study pressure, so I made this bracelet." Professor Aisenpaused, then continued, "It has two functions. One is calming and sleep-aiding, which can help you sleep better at night. The other is vitality enhancement, which can make you more energetic during the day!"
"Thank you, Professor, I really like this birthday gift!" Hermione said softly, reaching out to stroke the silver bracelet on her wrist, then looked at Professor Aisen, her eyes sparkling.
His heart skipped a beat slightly, Professor Aisen met Hermione's gaze without flinching, then nodded with a smile, "Glad you like it."
"Professor Aisen, I—" Hermione averted her gaze and looked at the textbook in her hands.
"I understand—you continue studying. I'll be going now." Professor Aisen stood up and waved to Hermione.
"Goodbye, Professor Aisen!" Hermione waved back at Professor Aisen.
...
After leaving the Library, Professor Aisen directly left Hogwarts and went to his secret base. Lying in the small bedroom, Professor Aisen thought about his next plan.
The original plan to show movies about Muggle Worldlife in Diagon Alley had to be suspended because of the surge in incidents involving the misuse of Muggleartifacts. As for when there would be an opportunity to implement this plan, Professor Aisen felt it seemed quite distant.
Currently, Professor Aisen didn't have anything else to do. Besides making tools to extract the abilities of Dementors, he only had research on horcruxes.
Making tools to extract the abilities of Dementors required Professor Aisen to check on them in the compartment from time to time. But regarding the research on horcruxes, Professor Aisen currently didn't have many leads.
If he could get the book 'Secrets of the Darkest Art' from Dumbledore, he might be able to figure out the steps for making horcruxes, as well as some techniques and concepts.
After Professor Aisen thoroughly researched it, it might be possible to improve the method of making horcruxes.
However, Professor Aisen didn't think it was a good idea to ask Dumbledore for detailed instructions on making horcruxes.
Although Professor Aisen had done many things in secret during the past two years, it seemed he had reached a tacit understanding with Dumbledore. But he didn't think Dumbledore fully trusted him either.
And a crucial point was that horcruxes were too evil. Professor Aisen had reason to believe that even if Dumbledore fully trusted him, he wouldn't reveal the method of making horcruxes to him.
"Should I just travel back in time and kill the young Voldemort?" Suddenly, a crude thought popped into Professor Aisen's mind.
Theoretically, Professor Aisen's thought was feasible. Just look at the Witch trapped in 1402 in the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic; simply interacting with some people caused many to lose their descendants directly.
It is clear that if the young Tom Riddle were killed by going back in time, the future Dark Lord Voldemort would definitely not exist.
Of course, Professor Aisen was just thinking about this. After all, there was a problem Professor Aisen couldn't solve at all. That was the immense impact caused by killing the young Tom Riddle.
One must know that Tom was invited by Dumbledore to study at Hogwarts. If the young Tom were killed directly, then the destinies of Dumbledore, the Professors at Hogwarts who had interacted with Tom, the Death Eaters, and everyone else would undergo earth-shattering changes.
Without Voldemort, Harry's parents would naturally not die. In that case, Harry would naturally not be the Savior.
Clearly, Professor Aisen understood the butterfly effect very well. But if he really traveled back in time to kill the young Tom, it wouldn't just be a simple butterfly effect. It's possible the entire timeline could collapse.
Therefore, Professor Aisen could not accept such a result.
After thinking carefully, Professor Aisen realized that horcruxes were indeed a bug in this world. Dumbledoreonly said that the method of making horcruxes was very evil, and no Dark Wizard dared to make them.
However, what if some stubborn Dark Wizards insisted on making horcruxes and developed towards becoming a Dark Lord? Wouldn't the entire Wizarding World have no peace? So, if the method of making horcruxes had been hidden or destroyed early on, there would have been no Voldemort later.
Thinking of this, Professor Aisen couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know how that despicable Herpo the Foul developed and created horcruxes step by step. But he had to admit, it was an awesome thing.
After lying in the bedroom for half a day, Professor Aisenwithdrew his thoughts and flashed back to Hogwarts.
Chapter 155: Transforming into Light (Subscribe!)
Time quickly arrived at October, and for the Little Wizardsin the school, this period wasn't very happy.
Of course, the arrival of the Quidditch season improved the mood of many Little Wizards. As for Aisen, besides practicing Charms recently, he was further practicing Transfiguration.
Since successfully breaking through the human body's shackles and transforming between elements, Aisen's progress had once again become rapid. Apart from teaching the Trio in the Room of Requirement on Saturday nights, Aisen spent most of his remaining time inside, attempting human Transfiguration.
For Aisen, transforming the human body directly into other objects wasn't difficult. The main challenge was the significant pressure involved in transforming directly into elements.
Therefore, Aisen had been continuously practicing during this time.
However, during the practice, Aisen discovered that there was still a big difference between transforming the human body into elements and transforming between elements.
Putting other things aside, just speaking of now, Aisencould already naturally transform objects into water flow, water flow into fire, and fire into lightning. However, when he initially tried to directly transform his arm into light, he found he couldn't continue the transformation to turn it into fire.
It was as if there was a restriction hindering the flow of Aisen's Magic. Regarding this, Aisen vaguely felt it might be caused by insufficient Magic within his body.
Therefore, Aisen could only focus his energy on how to continue mastering the technique of transforming into light. Fortunately, after a period of practice, Aisen found that transforming his limbs and torso into light didn't present a significant bottleneck.
As his research into Transfiguration deepened, Aisendiscovered that transformation seemed to become easier.
On Tuesday morning, Aisen was performing his most crucial transformation in the Room of Requirement.
Standing in a dark, opaque, enclosed room, Aisen's mind stirred, and his body rapidly transformed into light, with only his head showing no change yet.
Aisen had originally thought that transforming his head would be somewhat dangerous. As his thoughts turned, Aisen firmed his resolve, and the light quickly spread upwards, enveloping Aisen's head.
Unexpectedly, no danger befell Aisen. It was as if everything fell into place naturally, and Aisen's head also directly turned into a ball of light.
After completely transforming into light, Aisen could no longer maintain his form and turned into a beam of white light moving and surging through the dark room. For Aisen himself, this was a very strange feeling.
He could feel himself freed from the constraints of his body, as if he had gained great freedom and liberation. A wave of joy from within emerged, captivating Aisen for a moment.
Moreover, Aisen also discovered that after transforming into light, although he didn't have God's Perspectiveenabled, his vision was as if he did, allowing him to observe everything in front, back, left, right, up, and down.
Of course, the difference was that God's Perspectiveallowed for a larger range of observation, while after transforming into light, Aisen's vision was limited to only a few dozen meters around him.
Subsequently, Aisen's mind stirred, and he landed on the ground, restoring his form.
After taking a deep breath, the smile on Aisen's face didn't fade.
In Aisen's view, being able to transform into light was definitely a remarkable thing. Moreover, after mastering this ability, Aisen suddenly gained a deeper level of understanding.
It was hard to articulate, difficult to explain, but it made Aisen's heart joyful. After much thought, Aisen realized he seemed to be closer to this world.
Regarding this, Aisen was quite emotional. He had thought that transforming the human body into elements was a sign of Transfiguration advancing further, but looking at it now, it seemed more like a qualitative change.
However, some insights still needed to be confirmed.
Thinking this, a playing card appeared in Aisen's hand, and he casually tossed it, making it fly. At the same time, Aisen's mind turned, and his entire body instantly transformed into a beam of light, moving around the room.
At this moment, to an outsider, Aisen was a true beam of light. He darted around the room at the speed of light, the flashing light astonishing people. But at this moment, Aisen himself had a different experience.
Just now, there were no reference objects, and Aisenhadn't paid attention. But at the moment Aisentransformed into light after throwing the card, he found his thought speed was instantly pulled to its limit.
Simply put, Aisen's own reaction speed was consistent with light. As he, transformed into light, darted around the entire room, in his vision, the playing card he had thrown out seemed to be stationary, frozen in mid-air, no longer moving.
"Is this the world through the eyes of the Flash?" After experiencing this strange feeling, Aisen couldn't help but exclaim.
Whoosh—
The light flashed, and Aisen had already landed, restoring his form. The playing card moved again in Aisen's eyes, fluttering, and then he retrieved it.
After stopping, Aisen felt around and found his thought speed was suddenly tightly constrained. Vaguely, Aisencould feel that his thought reaction speed seemed to have improved slightly, but compared to when he was transformed into light, it was simply a world of difference.
Therefore, after restoring his human form, this sense of mental disparity was very obvious.
"No wonder there's a saying 'The flesh is weak, machines ascend.' The limitations of the human body are too great." After moving his body back and forth a few times, Aisenrecovered.
However—
As if thinking of something, Aisen fell into thought again.
Honestly, since Aisen could transform into light, he naturally had to continue researching its mysteries. To give a simple example, was the light he transformed into no different from other light?
"Lumos—" Thinking this, Aisen used the Lighting Charmto summon a ball of light, letting it float in front of Aisen's eyes.
Afterwards, Aisen once again transformed into a beam of light and rushed into the summoned ball of light. This was a strange experience. After transforming into light, Aisen observed the light from a different perspective.
In the silent world, Aisen's thought speed turned very quickly. Is light a particle? Or a wave? Comparing them, Aisen began to gain insight from himself.
Instantly, Aisen felt the difference. Even when he transformed into light, it still contained vast Magic information, life information, and thought information.
This information was hidden within individual particles, dividing into countless forms yet leaving no trace. Perhaps this was why his thought speed could keep up with light.
In addition, Aisen also felt hidden wave attractions within the light he had transformed into, preventing these particles from scattering.
In an instant, the light Aisen had transformed into shot out, landed on the ground, and restored his form, but he fell into thought. After experiencing it, Aisen found that the light he had transformed into was indeed somewhat different from natural light.
The ball of light he had summoned was simply a ball of light, while the light he himself had transformed into, although also light, still contained his personal information within it.
After leaving the Room of Requirement, Aisen paused his steps and pondered. Should he try transforming into light outside? Thinking this, Aisen's mouth curved upwards, and then he looked around. In an instant, he transformed into a beam of light and began moving through the Castle.
Within one ten-thousandth of a second, Aisen started from the eighth floor and moved around, visiting all the corridors, passageways, and classrooms throughout the entire Hogwarts Castle.
From Aisen's perspective, when he was moving through Hogwarts Castle, all people and objects were stationary. Therefore, no one would notice a streak of light in action.
Subsequently, Aisen did not stop. Instead, he left Hogwarts Castle and wandered through the Forbidden Forest, seeing stationary Centaurs, seeing stationary Trolls, seeing stationary Acromantulas, and also seeing stationary Unicorns...
Aisen continued to move, passing through Hogsmeade, streaking past everyone, flying to London to enter the Ministry of Magic headquarters, moving through various departments, then soaring into the sky, traveling across the world to places like the pyramids of Egypt, the Great Wall, the Amazon rainforest, the Grand Canyon, and so on.
After experiencing the scenery of various places, Aisenreturned to Hogwarts.
When he returned to Hogwarts, only one second had passed. After restoring his form, feeling the lively atmosphere of Hogwarts, Aisen suddenly felt that the world had become wonderful.
Speaking of which, after transforming into light, Aisengained another very contradictory feeling. One feeling was the sense of freedom from the physical body, which made one genuinely happy. But at the same time, after entering the world of light, the entire world became completely quiet.
Although this quietness wasn't deathly silence, for some reason, it could gradually counteract that genuine happiness. Moreover, the longer he remained transformed into light, the more pronounced that feeling became.
This also meant that after transforming into light, Aisenwould not lose himself. Clearly, this was absolutely good news for Aisen.
Chapter 156 Dumbledore's Commission (Part 1) (Please Subscribe!)
The next morning, Aisen ran into Harry and Ron while eating in the Great Hall. Harry was in high spirits, talking non-stop about something, while Ron chimed in beside him.
"You're in a good mood today?" Aisen came and sat down next to Harry.
"It's alright, Wood called a team meeting last night to discuss tactics for the new season," Harry said while eating a bread roll. Judging by the smile on his face, he was genuinely happy.
"Oliver Wood, he's in his Seven Grade this year, right?" Aisen narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Harry.
"Yes, this is Wood's last year, he won't be able to play at Hogwarts anymore," Harry said, swallowing and taking a sip of water. He continued, "So we'll be training three times a week from now on."
"Keep it up, I believe Gryffindor will win the QuidditchHouse Cup this year!" Aisen gave Harry an encouraging look.
"Thank you, Professor Aisen!" Harry nodded vigorously. It was clear that his eyes were full of fire.
Quidditch is indeed the number one sport in the Wizarding World and is very popular. This has always been the case at Hogwarts School as well.
However, just like a Quidditch match Harry participated in before, there was no time limit, and the match lasted almost the entire day. This was an extremely unfriendly experience for all the Little Wizards at Hogwarts.
Of course, from Aisen's perspective as an observer, he didn't want to comment on it. Anyway, he didn't plan on becoming a professional Quidditch player.
One evening in mid-October, many students from the third grade and above became excited. The reason was a new notice posted on the bulletin board, stating that they could visit Hogsmeade for the first time before Halloween.
Fred and George, the two brothers, were going to Zonko's Joke Shop to restock on Dungbombs. Clearly, this was their usual style. As for Hermione, after enduring immense academic pressure, she also wanted to experience what it was like to go to Hogsmeade for the first time.
Only Harry, whose mood had been elevated by Quidditchtraining in recent days, suddenly became depressed. This was because he hadn't been able to get Vernon's signature of consent during the holidays.
This meant that Harry was likely the only third-year student left at school when everyone else went to Hogsmeade. It was quite a sad situation, to say the least.
"Harry, don't worry, I'm sure you'll be able to go next time!" Seeing Harry's dejected state, Hermione had to comfort him. "They'll catch Black soon, someone has already seen where he is!"
"Black wouldn't be that stupid as to try and do something in Hogsmeade." Ron suggested to Harry, "Harry, I think you could ask Professor McGonagall to see if you can go. Who knows when the next time will be—"
"Ron! Harry should stay at school!" Hermioneimmediately retorted.
"Go ask Professor McGonagall, go on, Harry—" Ron said, "It's not good for you to stay at school alone."
"Yes, I think I will ask." Harry nodded, making up his mind.
Hermione opened her mouth, still wanting to remind them that Black was lurking outside and that it would be extremely dangerous for Harry to go out, when Crookshanks jumped onto Hermione's lap with a large dead spider in its mouth.
"Does it have to eat that thing in front of us?" Looking at Hermione's pet cat, Ron couldn't help but roar.
"Clever Crookshanks, did you catch it yourself?" Hermione didn't care about Ron's feelings at all; she just thought the cat was very clever.
"Just let it stay there, please!" Ron was almost driven mad with anger. "Scabbers is sleeping in my bag."
Soon, Ron regretted his loose tongue. Just then, Crookshanks stared at Ron, then leaped onto Ron's bag, its four claws gripping it tightly, and began to bite savagely.
"Oh, let go, you stupid beast." Ron tried hard to snatch his bag back from Crookshanks' claws, but Crookshanks held on tightly.
"Ron, don't hurt it!" Hermione shrieked in alarm.
Scabbers escaped from the bag and scurried around, and Crookshanks dropped the bag and chased after it. After some effort, Ron successfully caught Scabbers and held him in his arms, while Hermione held Crookshanks on the other side.
"Hermione, don't let your cat near him again!" Ron was furious.
"But Crookshanks doesn't know he did anything wrong. I mean, all cats catch mice, right!" Hermione gave an irrefutable reason.
Leaving aside the commotion caused by the Trio, on the other side, Aisen arrived at Dumbledore's office once again.
Aisen didn't know if Dumbledore had an urgent matter, but he sent his pet Phoenix and even let Aisen experience being Apparated by Fawkes.
As for the effect, it was similar to when Aisen performed Apparition himself; he could feel the spatial pressure while moving. However, it wasn't restricted by Hogwarts' anti-Apparition wards.
"Professor Dumbledore, is there something you need?" After appearing in the Headmaster's office, Aisen noticed that Dumbledore was pacing back and forth, seemingly contemplating something important.
After Fawkes brought Aisen, he gracefully landed on the golden perch by the door. He had grown to the size of a swan.
"Yes, there is something very important I'd like to entrust you with." Seeing Aisen appear, Dumbledore said, nodding.
"Alright, what is it?" Aisen shrugged, not minding Dumbledore's solemn expression.
"I've been going through my past memories recently and thought of a place where Tom's Horcrux might be hidden." Dumbledore stopped pacing and slowly looked at Aisen.
"So, what do you need me to do?" Since Dumbledorealready had a plan, Aisen thought it wouldn't hurt to listen.
"I need you to go to that place and check if a Horcrux is hidden there—" Dumbledore hesitated for a moment but still stated his idea.
"So, what place is it?" Aisen said, narrowing his eyes slightly.
Finding a place that might contain a Horcrux so quickly, Dumbledore's efficiency was a bit too high.
"I think you should come and take a look." Dumbledoresaid, turning to a Black cabinet next to Aisen. After opening it, he took out a shallow stone basin and placed it on the desk.
Under Aisen's gaze, Dumbledore pointed his wand at his head, and then a wisp of bright silver mist, as if pulled from his mind, was dropped into the stone basin.
Instantly, the stone basin glowed with silver light. The mist, like water and cloud, flowed continuously, sending out ripples, and looked very mysterious.
"A Pensieve?" Looking at Dumbledore's actions, Aisencouldn't help but murmur.
"That's right. In my memory, there is a place that holds extraordinary significance for Tom." Dumbledore tapped the edge of the Pensieve with his wand, then gestured to Aisen.
Nodding without speaking, Aisen stepped forward and looked into the Pensieve. As Aisen lowered his head to look into the Pensieve, the silver light within gradually faded, turning transparent.
Then, the scene of another world appeared within. It was a turbulent sea, with a cliff standing in it, looking extremely realistic.
Lowering his head further, Aisen felt as if the entire room had flipped over, and he himself seemed to have fallen into the Pensieve. After falling for a moment, Aisen's eyes lit up, and he clearly saw the surroundings.
This was a lonely island. Dumbledore's figure changed within it, and after passing through a rarely visited village, he arrived at the edge of a steep cliff.
Before long, the entire scene dispersed like smoke, and after Aisen rose and did a somersault, he found himself still standing in front of the Pensieve, with Dumbledorestanding beside him.
"What place was that?" Although he had already guessed that the place was the cave, Aisen still asked.
"Tom Riddle was once abandoned at Wool's Orphanage. The matron, Mrs. Cole, often took the children there to breathe the sea air. He had been there before, and he had taken the children he bullied there before." Dumbledore's eyes were a little distant, as if immersed in past memories.
"You think that place is a place of special significance to Voldemort?" Aisen interrupted Dumbledore's recollection.
"Yes, that place is inaccessible without magic. Tom deeply realized that he was different from ordinary people, so that place must be very special to Tom." Dumbledore's tone was very calm, as if he was completely certain.
"Are you sure the Horcrux is hidden there?" Aisen had a bit of a headache. The reason for this was that Aisenknew the Horcrux hidden in the cave was actually a fake.
Of course, this wasn't Voldemort's fault. Voldemort did hide the real one there, but his subordinate betrayed him and directly replaced the real one with a fake.
Unfortunately, Aisen couldn't tell Dumbledore yet that the Horcrux hidden there was actually a fake. This meant that even if Aisen went to great lengths to find it, it would be a waste of effort.
Chapter 157: Dumbledore's Commission (Part 2)
The Horcrux hidden in the rock cave was actually slytherin's locket. Originally, this item was indeed made into a Horcrux by Voldemort, and it was successfully hidden in the rock cave, with very powerful protective magic cast upon it.
Theoretically speaking, this method of concealment was foolproof. However, there is a saying, "Fortresses are breached from within," and this saying is absolutely correct.
So, how was this sturdy fortress built by Voldemort breached? This involves Regulus Black, the younger brother of Sirius Black.
Regulus Black was a Death Eater, initially loyal to Voldemort. However, Regulus later betrayed Voldemort. With this betrayal, things became interesting.
At that time, Voldemort took his House-elf Kreacher from Regulus. After Voldemort took Kreacher into the rock cave, he forced him to drink the potion to test the safety of the Horcrux's hiding place.
Afterwards, Voldemort left alone. As a result, Kreacher, as a House-elf, was able to Apparition directly out of the rock cave despite the powerful magic cast upon it.
After leaving, Kreacher told Regulus about his experience. At this point, Regulus suddenly discovered Voldemort's true colors. Instantly, his attitude towards Voldemort completely changed from admiration to loathing.
After the change, Regulus decided to sacrifice himself to destroy Voldemort's Horcrux. Thus, he prepared a fake slytherin's locket in advance and had Kreacher Apparitionhim to the rock cave.
After Regulus drank the potion, he took Voldemort's Horcrux and threw the fake one in. Under Regulus's command, Kreacher took the real Horcrux and tried his best to destroy it. Meanwhile, Regulus, after drinking the potion, was dragged down by the Inferi inside the lake when he tried to drink water by the shore.
Just like that, Voldemort never expected that he had built a sturdy fortress to guard the Horcrux, only to end up guarding nothing.
However, what Aisen found strange was that since Regulus had personally finished drinking the potion and successfully obtained the Horcrux, why did Dumbledorehave to drink the potion again when he went looking for it later?
Unless, this stuff automatically replenishes over time!
However, even so, Aisen still found it somewhat difficult to understand. The incomprehensible part was that the setting for the potion in the original work was a bit too absurd.
When Dumbledore touched the potion in the stone basin with his hand, he couldn't touch it. After trying for a while, he found that he couldn't separate it, nor could he scoop it out, drain it, make it disappear with a Vanishing Charm, process it with Transfiguration, or change the nature of the potion in any other way.
Once this setting was introduced, Dumbledore's conclusion was that there was no other way but to drink it.
But in Aisen's opinion, this setting was simply too absurd. You know, who is Dumbledore? In terms of magical attainment, he definitely surpasses Voldemort.
Even if Dumbledore is not as skilled in Black magic as Voldemort, he shouldn't be completely helpless.
As a result, Regulus drank the potion and successfully obtained the real Horcrux, while Dumbledore drank the potion and obtained the fake Horcrux. Looking at it this way, no matter who drinks the potion, the amount of potion in the stone basin will decrease.
So, could they catch some animals and have them drink the potion? Could they use Transfiguration to create a humanoid puppet to drink the potion?
Thinking of these things, Aisen suddenly fell silent.
"I cannot be certain that a Horcrux is hidden there, but I think it is highly probable!" Dumbledore said.
"Then, why don't you go there and search?" Aisenpondered, showing a puzzled expression. "I mean, with your level of magic, once you've identified the location, it should be a simple matter to find out if there's a Horcruxthere."
"That's right, but the Ministry of Magic has a very important matter for me to handle, and I might not have time for other things for a long while." A hint of helplessness was revealed in Dumbledore's eyes.
"So that's it!" Aisen nodded, but he couldn't fathom what could tie Dumbledore down.
Something about Sirius Black? Probably not! The incident where Buckbeak scratched Draco Malfoy? That doesn't seem to have much to do with Dumbledore.
However, Aisen suddenly thought of a very serious problem: if Dumbledore was tied up with something and couldn't get away, wouldn't the events about to happen at Hogwarts be difficult to handle?
"Professor Dumbledore, if you don't have time for other things, will you leave Hogwarts?" Aisen's expression became serious. "I mean, will you return to Hogwarts at night?"
"Of course, don't worry too much. I just have some matters to deal with; it doesn't mean I don't need to sleep anymore," Dumbledore said with a smile. "You must know, your invention of Apparition Without A Trace is quite remarkable!"
Hearing Dumbledore's answer, Aisen immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If that was the case, then there was no problem.
"Alright, I think I'll make a trip there and figure out if Voldemort has hidden a Horcrux there!" Taking on Dumbledore's commission was not a big deal for Aisen.
To be honest, Aisen was also very interested in the magicVoldemort had laid out in the rock cave.
"Aisen, I need to remind you, Tom must have cast magicthere, you must be careful!" Seeing Aisen agree, Dumbledore slightly relaxed, then reminded him solemnly.
"I understand, I won't act rashly." Although Aisen knew roughly what the situation in the rock cave would be like, he would never be careless.
After leaving Dumbledore's office, Aisen's mood was a little unsettled. However, since he was going to the rock cave anyway, there was no need to think too much.
Early the next morning, after having breakfast in the Great Hall as usual, Aisen came to the top floor of the Astronomy Tower. In the biting cold wind, the air seemed a little damp. But this had no effect on Aisen.
Recalling some of the memories he saw in Dumbledore's office yesterday, he focused his attention on the scene at that time. Then, Aisen performed Apparition Without A Trace, instantly disappearing from the spot.
...
On a tall black rock exposed above the sea, Aisen's figure appeared out of thin air.
Looking around, Aisen realized that this was his destination.
The sound of surging waves in the distant ocean spread, the smell of the sea wafted over, and the waves were rolling, not much different from the scene Aisen saw in the Pensieve.
Straight ahead, Aisen saw a towering cliff. The rock face was very steep, dropping straight down and deeply plunging into the sea, with a few scattered rocks around, like the one under Aisen's feet, which seemed to have fallen from the cliff face.
With God's Perspective activated, the entire cliff was imprinted in Aisen's mind, every detail clear. Halfway up the cliff, traces of some villages could vaguely be seen.
Aisen didn't pay much attention to this, instead focusing his gaze on a giant boulder near the very edge of the cliff. Moving his body, Aisen came onto the boulder and his eyes landed on a crack in the cliff.
Aisen knew that this was actually a secret passage, which would be filled with seawater at high tide. In the original work, Dumbledore and Harry had to go into the water and swim in from there, but for Aisen, it wasn't that troublesome.
Zooming in his vision, Aisen's gaze entered through the crack, constantly probing inwards. In just a moment, Aisen's vision entered a spacious area.
The space was like a large hall, the surrounding rock walls were very rough, and the ceiling of the cave showed nothing unusual. With a thought, Aisen directly used Apparition Without A Trace to arrive in the center of the rock cave.
"Lumos—" Although Aisen could clearly see everything from God's Perspective, he still cast a Charm.
A Lumos Charm lit up the entire rock cave brightly.
Chapter 158: The Horcrux in the Cave
The entrance to the cave was concealed, hidden by Lord Voldemort's magic.
In the original work, Dumbledore saw through Lord Voldemort's trick, but he opened the entrance with his own blood. This was a method Lord Voldemort used to weaken his enemies.
However, the House-elf Kreacher could Apparition in and out of the cave directly, which meant Aisen could also instantly Apparition Without A Trace inside.
It was just that Kreacher could Apparition in because he had been inside before. If Aisen wanted to enter by this method, he would need to understand the internal situation.
However, this was not a problem for Aisen. His vision shifted, directly probing in all directions, deep into the rock walls. In just an instant, Aisen's vision penetrated one of the rock walls, arriving at a vast space.
Apparition Without A Trace activated, and the protective magic cast here could not obstruct Aisen's figure in the slightest. With a flash, Aisen arrived inside the true cave.
He was currently standing on the shore of a vast black lake. The lake surface was incredibly wide, and only faintly could the opposite shore be seen in the distance. The cave he was in was very tall; looking up, he found the cave ceiling to be extremely high.
Far away, seemingly in the center of the lake, a hazy, glowing green light shimmered, reflected in the dead silent lake water below. Besides that green light, everything else was an impenetrable darkness.
A bright light rose from the tip of Aisen's wand, illuminating the entire space. It was clear that the space here had been enlarged by an Undetectable Extension Charm.
Aisen knew very well that his target was actually at the green light in the center of the lake. Therefore, he did not try various methods on the lake shore, but instead directly used Apparition Without A Trace to arrive at a smooth small island in the center of the lake.
The entire small island was about the size of a room, with a large, flat black stone slab standing in the middle. It was empty on top, but upon closer inspection, one could see that it was a stone basin similar to a Pensieve.
The stone basin contained a basin of emerald green liquid, and that green light emanated from within it.
If there were no surprises, the liquid in this basin was poison.
After a moment of hesitation, Aisen stepped forward and reached out to touch the green liquid, finding that he indeed could not make contact. It was as if there was an invisible resistance, blocking Aisen's hand from touching the liquid.
With a thought, Aisen cast magic upon it. After using various Magical methods, such as the Vanishing Charm and the Transfiguration Charm, none had any effect.
Walking around the stone platform, Aisen could feel that magic had also been cast upon it. In Lord Voldemort's view, the only way to obtain the Horcrux inside was to drink the poison.
But Aisen did not think so.
At the very least, in Aisen's understanding, Fiendfyrewould absolutely be able to completely destroy all traces of magic here. This would make taking the Horcruxexceptionally simple.
One must know that the power of Fiendfyre lies in its ability to burn everything. Simply put, if Aisen cast a Fiendfyre, if no one used the Counter-Charm to stop it, it would continue to burn indefinitely.
Moreover, it could become more and more powerful as time went on. In fact, if the burning range of Fiendfyrereached a certain extent, it was very likely to completely spiral out of control.
Once Fiendfyre completely spiraled out of control, Aiseneven suspected it would directly burn down the entire Earth. As for the Fiendfyre cast by Crabbe in the original work only burning down the Room of Requirement and not continuing to burn, Aisen thought this should be the effect of hidden spatial isolation.
But no matter what, if Fiendfyre could even destroy a Horcrux, then destroying a magic-infused stone platform should not be a problem.
Collecting his thoughts, Aisen pointed his wand, and a surging Fiendfyre emerged from thin air. The scorching flames twisted the surrounding space, and then, under Aisen's control, the Fiendfyre rapidly condensed into a five-meter-long flaming longsword.
Aisen rotated his wand, and the flaming longsword cut through space, directly pressing against the black stone slab, cutting down from the middle.
Hiss—
The moment the flaming longsword touched the stone slab, a black smoke permeated, and then the entire stone slab emitted a strange sound. Afterward, Aisen could no longer feel the traces of magic covering the stone slab.
Like cutting tofu, the flaming longsword easily cut into the stone slab. In the blink of an eye, the upper half of the stone slab standing on the isolated island in the center of the lake had been cut off by Aisen.
After cutting off the upper half of the stone slab, Aisendispersed the flaming longsword.
Walking forward, he had now discovered that the stone basin on the upper half of the stone slab had undergone some changes. The color of the poison inside also seemed to have lightened somewhat.
Taking out a playing card and transforming it into a porcelain bowl, he scooped out a bowl of poison and poured it directly onto the ground nearby. Aisen found that the poison in the stone basin did not automatically replenish itself.
Clearly, Aisen's previous actions had already destroyed the magic Lord Voldemort had placed upon it.
"Tsk tsk, easily obtained!" Aisen's face broke into a smile. Then, he continuously scooped out the poison from the stone basin and poured it aside.
After the green liquid in the stone basin was completely gone, Aisen successfully retrieved slytherin's locket.
As expected, Aisen did not sense any traces of Dark Artson it. Clearly, this slytherin's locket was just a fake forged by Regulus.
As for the true slytherin's locket, after it was taken away by the House-elf Kreacher, he tried to destroy it but failed. Later, slytherin's locket was stolen by Mundungus Fletcher.
Mundungus Fletcher was also an oddball. As a thief, he knew many thieves and fraudsters in the Wizarding World and could gather a lot of information, so Dumbledore brought him into the Order of the Phoenix.
Later, this fellow took advantage of the chaos after Sirius Black's death to steal all the valuable antiques from the House of Black. Among them was slytherin's locket, which Regulus sacrificed himself for.
Even later, slytherin's locket was confiscated by Umbridge of the Ministry of Magic. In the original work, when the Savior Trio created chaos in the Ministry of Magic, Hermione took the opportunity to steal the locket, thus successfully obtaining this Horcrux.
But now, Sirius Black had just escaped from prison, which meant that the real slytherin's locket was still safely kept at Grimmauld Place, number 12 — the House of Black's mansion.
After pondering for a while, Aisen frowned slightly, then put away the locket and vanished from the spot.
When Aisen reappeared, he was already in his secret base. As usual, he checked the small compartment, and after finding nothing unusual, Aisen went to the Alchemy Laboratory.
Placing slytherin's locket on the table, Aisen sat beside it and began to ponder.
Dumbledore had entrusted him to confirm whether Lord Voldemort's Horcrux was hidden in the cave, and Aisenhad clearly succeeded in obtaining the Horcrux. However, this was a fake Horcrux.
Given this, Aisen now had two choices.
One was to directly hand over this fake to Dumbledore, then tell Dumbledore his conjecture, letting Dumbledoreknow that the real Horcrux had likely been swapped.
As for who swapped it and where it was placed? This would require Dumbledore to investigate himself.
This choice posed no problem for Aisen; it merely extended the time until Dumbledore obtained the fourth Horcrux.
However, the other option was much simpler and more direct. That was for Aisen to go directly to Grimmauld Place, number 12, and use the fake Horcrux he had obtained to swap back the real Horcrux from the House of Black mansion.
The advantage of this method was very straightforward: it would allow Dumbledore to directly obtain the fourth Horcrux without attracting anyone else's attention.
After all, no one knew that the Horcrux Aisen obtained from the cave was fake. Replacing the real Horcrux from the House of Black mansion would be completely undetected.
Comparing the differences between the two methods, Aisen decided after a moment of thought to choose the second method: directly obtain the real Horcrux and then hand it over to Dumbledore.
However, looking at the locket in front of him, Aisen felt a headache. This was because the locket forged by Reguluswas not identical to the real slytherin's locket.
Chapter 159: Successfully Obtained
Upon opening the locket, it was clear that this locket was a bit smaller in size compared to the locket he had seen with Dumbledore.
At the same time, it did not have the intricate pattern markings like the real slytherin's locket. Most importantly, it lacked Slytherin's unique ornate "S" marking.
Opening the locket, where a portrait would normally be placed, there was a folded piece of parchment.
After taking out the parchment, its contents were revealed before Aisen:
To the Dark Lord
By the time you read this, I will have been long dead, but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret.
I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as possible.
I face death willingly, in the hope that when you meet your match, you will be killed.
R.A.B.
Clearly, R.A.B. was Regulus Arcturus Black.
However, just as Aisen was about to use Transfigurationto make it look exactly like the real locket and prepare to go to the Black family mansion to replace the real locket, he suddenly thought of something.
If he really did that, wouldn't Regulus's "true identity" remain unknown?
Although Aisen didn't care whether Regulus was an evil Death Eater or a great hero, since he had thought of this point, it wouldn't be right to simply ignore it.
After a moment, Aisen finally thought of a proper way.
After putting away the parchment and the locket, Aisendirectly forged another locket that looked exactly like the real slytherin's locket.
Subsequently, Aisen used Apparition Without A Trace to flash to King's Cross Station.
If Aisen's memory was correct, Grimmauld Place, number 12 was only a 20-minute walk from King's Cross Station.
Upon arriving at King's Cross Station, Aisen did not stop but directly transformed into light and began to roam around.
After entering the world of light, the entire world seemed to stand still in Aisen's eyes.
Clearly, for Aisen, transforming into light was a very convenient way to find a place.
In the still world, passing through street after street, Aisen searched for the location of the Black family mansion. In less than a second, Aisen returned to human form and stopped in front of a scratched, Black-painted door.
On the large door was a silver doorknob, which looked like a coiled snake, giving off a mysterious feeling. From the outside, the house looked messy and dirty.
Clearly, the house in front of him was Aisen's destination.
First, he cast a Disillusionment Charm on himself, and then, with God's Perspective activated, he directly imprinted the entire house into his mind.
His gaze swept across the ground floor. Behind the porch was a long corridor, with a worn carpet on the floor, peeling wallpaper on the walls, and some portraits that had darkened with age hanging nearby.
After scanning the rooms and not finding his target, Aisen's gaze quickly moved to the second floor. What hung on the wall next to the stairs on the second floor made Aisen's scalp tingle; it was covered with the heads of House-elves.
Is this a Black family tradition? Aisen thought to himself, turning his gaze to the living room.
Windows, writing desk, sofa; after his gaze swept over them one by one, Aisen's attention focused on the glass cabinets on either side of the fireplace.
The glass cabinet doors were very dirty, but there were quite a few Black magic items inside: rusty daggers, animal claws, a crystal bottle, a silver snuffbox, and—the slytherin's locket!
With a thought, Aisen instantly appeared in front of the glass cabinet in the second-floor living room and reached out to take out the slytherin's locket.
A strange feeling surfaced in his heart, but Aisen did not feel any trace of a curse on it.
After obtaining the locket, Aisen could feel that an unbreakable charm had been cast upon it. Clearly, this real slytherin's locket had long been made into a Horcruxby Voldemort.
Subsequently, Aisen took out the locket he had forged and put it back into the glass cabinet. As for the real slytherin's locket, he had successfully obtained it.
After a slight smile, Aisen flashed back to his office at Hogwarts.
However, there was still one thing Aisen hadn't done yet, which was to go to Professor McGonagall to check the list of past Hogwarts students.
It should be noted that in the original book, Harry only realized that R.A.B. was Regulus Black after finding the phrase [Do Not Enter Without the Express Permission of Regulus Arcturus Black] on Regulus's door.
Then what reason did Aisen have to believe that R.A.B. was Regulus? To prevent further questioning from Dumbledore, Aisen decided to look through the list of past Hogwarts students.
Regulus Black was a student in Slytherin House, so his name would definitely be on the list of past Little Wizards. This way, Aisen's excuse would be plausible.
Subsequently, Aisen got up and walked towards the Transfiguration classroom.
However, just as Aisen arrived outside the Transfiguration classroom, he found a group of Little Wizards gathered together, and could faintly hear the sound of girls crying.
What happened this time? Aisen, standing behind the crowd, started to get a headache.
"What's wrong, Lavender?" The Trio squeezed into the crowd, and Hermione asked aloud.
"She received a letter from home this morning; her rabbit, Binky, was killed by a fox!" A little Witch next to her whispered in reply.
"Oh, that's too bad, Lavender!" Hermione looked at the crying Lavender.
"I knew this would happen!" Lavender said sadly. "Do you know what day it is today?"
"Uh—" Hermione opened her mouth, not understanding what Lavender meant.
"October sixteenth, remember? Professor Trelawney said in our first Divination Class: 'The thing you dread will happen on the sixteenth of October!' Right? She was right!" Lavender said, and started sobbing again.
"You were afraid Binky would be eaten by a fox?" Hermione hesitated.
Parvati, standing nearby, reached out and put an arm around Lavender's shoulder.
"Well, not necessarily a fox," Lavender looked at Hermione with teary eyes, "but I was obviously worried it would die, wasn't I?"
Hermione seemed to be trying to find an excuse to comfort her, but the surrounding students all showed looks of horror, and then, as if remembering something, turned their gaze towards Harry.
Seeing this, Harry stiffened, feeling the ominous shadow once again fall over his heart.
...
After the Transfiguration Class ended, Aisen went to Professor McGonagall's office.
"Aisen, is there something you need?" Professor McGonagall placed a stack of papers in the drawer behind her desk and looked up at Aisen who had knocked and entered.
"Yes, I would like to see the list of past Hogwartsstudents. I wonder—" Aisen spread his hands.
"Why do you want to see the list of past Hogwartsstudents?" Professor McGonagall looked at Aisen with a suspicious expression.
"Well—Headmaster Dumbledore has entrusted me with something, so I need to look up some information!" After a moment's thought, Aisen brought Dumbledore into it.
Professor McGonagall gave Aisen a deep look but said nothing. Instead, she got up from behind her desk, went to a cabinet nearby, and pulled out a thick stack of parchment from one of the drawers.
"Thank you, Professor McGonagall!" Aisen smiled slightly and took the stack of parchment from her hand.
After getting the list, Aisen immediately started flipping through it in Professor McGonagall's office.
Since Aisen was very focused, even though the list in his hand was a thick stack, he still achieved his goal within ten minutes.
After returning the stack of parchment to Professor McGonagall, Aisen returned to his office under her peculiar gaze.
At nine o'clock that evening, Aisen arrived at Dumbledore's office.
"Professor Dumbledore, were you waiting for me?" The moment he entered the office, Aisen noticed that Dumbledore seemed to relax, as if he had been specifically waiting for him.
"I thought you might have some success today." Dumbledore picked up a candy from the dish on his desk and popped it into his mouth, then smiled and gestured to Aisen.
"Alright, you guessed correctly!" Aisen shrugged his shoulders and sat down on the chair in front of the desk.
Chapter 160: A Newly Created Charm
Seeing Dumbledore's expectant look, Aisen didn't hesitate. He first took out the fake slytherin's locket and placed it on the table in front of Dumbledore.
"This is the locket found in a cave within the sea cliffs," Aisen said.
Looking at the locket, which looked slightly different, Dumbledore couldn't help but frown. After picking it up and examining it carefully, Dumbledore looked at Aisen. "It's not a Horcrux—"
"It's clear the real Horcrux was swapped out long ago!" Aisen's expression didn't change. He took the locket from Dumbledore, opened it, and took out a piece of parchment, placing it before him.
Dumbledore's expression turned serious. After reading the contents of the parchment, he looked up at Aisen, seemingly waiting for something.
"I checked the list of past Witch admissions at Hogwarts School with Professor McGonagall and found that R.A.B. is very likely Regulus Arcturus Black!" Aisen said, stating the explanation he had prepared.
"It's truly incredible!" Dumbledore murmured. "Reguluswas a hero."
"I believe so! So, I went to Grimmauld Place, number 12and found this—" Aisen nodded, took out the real slytherin's locket, and placed it in front of Dumbledore.
"The fourth Horcrux, Aisen. I must say, you truly surprise me!" Dumbledore picked up the Horcrux, a glint in his eye, and then gave Aisen a meaningful look.
"No, if I hadn't learned about the sea cliffs from you, I wouldn't have been able to find this Horcrux at all." Aisenshook his head, seeing no need to take credit.
After leaving Dumbledore's office, Aisen couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Four horcruxes had been found. If hufflepuff's golden cup were found now, then only the soul fragment residing within Harry himself would remain to be dealt with.
He also didn't know if Dumbledore had successfully developed a Charm similar to Astral Projection.
On Saturday morning, while Aisen was eating in the Great Hall, he heard many Little Wizards discussing something: Hagrid's pet Rook was terribly bullied during a fight with a large Black dog!
"I can't believe Hagrid's pet Rook is so powerful, daring to challenge that sturdy Black dog!" Dean said, his face flushed with excitement and full of astonishment.
"Although that big Black dog later bullied Rook terribly, scaring Rook into running back to Hagrid's Hut, Rook was brave enough to bark at the big Black dog several times at first!"
"I heard Rook is less than a year old. I bet that big Blackdog is decades old!"
...
Aisen's forehead faintly showed Black lines. If he wasn't mistaken, that big Black dog should be Sirius Black.
However, Sirius Black in his Animagus form can communicate with Hermione's pet Crookshanks, so why would he fight with the husky-like Rook?
Could it be that the husky was too stupid for Sirius Blackto tolerate?
At noon, Aisen went directly to Hagrid's Hut. He found that the Trio was also staying with Hagrid. It seemed the Trio had come to comfort Hagrid.
"Hagrid, did a big Black dog really bully Rook?" Ronasked, an astonished expression on his face after holding Rook in his arms.
Perhaps because Ron had fed Rook for a while, it was quite quiet curled up in Ron's arms. However, judging by its pitiful appearance constantly licking its left front leg, it was likely truly taught a lesson by Sirius Black.
"I didn't look after him properly. He's still so small, it's too pitiful!" Hagrid said, his eyes red, seemingly blaming himself.
"Madam Pomfrey has already examined him, there's nothing serious." Ron pushed Rook's head aside, revealing his left front leg, which had no injuries.
"Harry, do you think that big Black dog is the one Professor Trelawney predicted?" Aisen glanced at the Trio, noticed Harry was in low spirits, and asked directly.
"She was right. She said the thing Lavender was afraid of would happen on October sixteenth, and on that day, Lavender's rabbit, Binky, died. She said that big dog was the worst omen—" Harry's brows furrowed tightly.
"Don't worry, you're very safe inside Hogwarts!" Aisenraised an eyebrow, then offered a word of comfort.
If you say Sybill Trelawney's prediction ability isn't accurate, it's true she gets many things right. But if you say all her predictions are accurate, then often her predictions are just nonsensical ramblings.
According to Trelawney, if a person doesn't possess a certain kind of 'sight,' they won't do well in Divination.
In other words, when all the Little Wizards taking Divination read the book 'Unfogging the Future,' their interpretations are probably different from Trelawney's.
"Yes, Professor Aisen is right. Professor McGonagall was right not to let you go to Hogsmeade. No one can guarantee that Sirius Black won't attack you there," Hermione said to Harry in a lecturing tone.
"Have you guys ever thought about something?" Ron said, suddenly looking up while teasing Rook.
"What?" Harry looked up with a puzzled expression.
"Why can only third-year students go to Hogsmeade, and only with a guardian's signature on the application form?" Ron said, a look of confusion in his eyes.
"Perhaps they're worried about younger students getting hurt?" Harry paused, then showed an uncertain expression.
Hermione looked at Aisen, seemingly thinking that as a Professor at Hogwarts, he should know the reason! However, unfortunately, Aisen didn't know what the specific rule was either.
"I don't know why either. Perhaps it's because Hogsmeade has many pubs, and students in their third year or above can go drinking there after getting their guardian's signature?" Aisen's tone was also uncertain. After a pause, he continued, "Or perhaps, it's just a tradition of Hogwarts School, who knows?"
Hearing Aisen's explanation, the Trio exchanged glances for a moment.
Aisen didn't stay at Hagrid's for long before leaving.
In the new week, Aisen finished a class as usual, and on Saturday evening, he took the Trio for some practical training in the Room of Requirement.
Aisen suddenly found himself with nothing to do.
At Hogwarts, besides practicing Charms every day, Aisenwould also explore various secrets in the Library. In his free time, he would go to his secret base to further study Alchemy.
During this time, Aisen could feel his progress in Alchemy, but unfortunately, his research on horcruxes was still in a stagnant state.
Of course, this stagnation was mainly in the area of souls. Because he didn't have a deep understanding and research of Black magic, Aisen hadn't made much progress in research involving souls.
However, with little progress in soul research, Aisenwanted to take a different route, starting with memory magic and achieving his goal through in-depth research.
The effect exceeded Aisen's expectations. One day in late October, Aisen directly developed a 'Dream God Charm'. This Charm was similar to the Daydream Charmdeveloped by the Weasley Twins, but its effect was vastly different.
The Daydream Charm allows a person to have a 30-minute high-quality daydream. While the principle behind Aisen's development of the Dream God Charm was also similar, falling within the realm of memory magic, it constructed a dream based on self-awareness and all memories as its core.
This dream's long-term existence relied on Aisen's own self-awareness, but because his memories were constantly increasing, the dream formed at the moment the Dream God Charm was developed was constantly evolving in sync.
In other words, the moment Aisen developed the Dream God Charm, it meant he had created a portable dream. He could project his consciousness into the dream anytime, anywhere, without being limited by time or location.
Daydreaming was just the most basic function. Aisencould also freely set up scenes, edit visuals, direct movies, and so on within it. In the dream, Aisen could completely act as an omnipotent god.
Of course, this was an extremely false god. After leaving the dream, that feeling of omnipotence would vanish.
Aisen's original intention in developing such a Charm was to use it to touch upon the soul. But afterwards, as he continued to delve deeper into the experience, Aisenfound that this path was somewhat contrary to his initial purpose.
