Chapter 30 - Most Powerful Counterspell

[The correct answer is option C: Harry Black will be assigned to the house of Ravenclaw!]

[Congratulations to Harry Potter for obtaining the definitive version of the Expelliarmus spell.]

[Congratulations to Argus Filch for obtaining a seed of magical essence.]

This time, only two people managed to receive rewards from the comparison room, but that did not diminish the enthusiasm of everyone.

Gellert Grindelwald: "Finally, another reward has emerged, a version of the Expelliarmus magic... But what kind of reward is that???"

Minerva McGonagall: "Why do I feel that this reward is in very poor taste? What powerful wizard doesn't create multiple ways to use a spell?"

Filius Flitwick: "I agree. As a duelist, I'm ashamed to admit that I have less than three versions of a spell..."

All: "..."

Are you speaking a human language?

How does a self-respecting wizard need to have several versions of a spell?

Why didn't I know this!?

James Potter: "I don't think Harry's reward is that bad... Son, why don't you say anything?"

It's not that Harry couldn't speak, but he was simply too stunned to respond!

When the reward was announced, the curtain of light emitted a beam directly into his head, and an extra memory emerged in his mind: it was the method of using the definitive version of the spell Expelliarmus.

The comparison room also provided a summary of how this version was different from the original:

[Definitive version of the Expelliarmus magic: When using this spell, it is possible to remain in a 50-50 situation with any single-target spell. The magic consumption is identical to that of the original spell.]

For some reason, Harry felt that this spell attracted him strongly; as if he didn't learn this spell, he wouldn't be able to sleep in the future.

Reading the description, Harry felt he was seeing things.

Even as a complete novice, he understood how ridiculous this magic he had just received was.

This meant that, even facing wizards like Dumbledore or Voldemort, he would be able to make at least one move... or at least, that was what he thought.

Seeing his mother's concern for his daze, Harry quickly reassured her as he shared the details of his magic with her and with the people in the chat group.

As for keeping the effect secret as a trump card?

One can only regret that Harry is currently only 11 years old and does not have this kind of mentality...

When the details of Harry's magic were clarified, those who claimed his reward was in poor taste seemed to feel their faces burning with shame.

The slap in the face came so quickly that they couldn't avoid cursing their own hastily spoken words.

Filius Flitwick: "A version of Expelliarmus capable of remaining equal with any spell!? So the strength of both parties is not taken into account?"

Severus Snape: "It seems so, but I paid more attention to the fact that it works only against single-target spells. That means multi-attack spells or a master of Transfiguration are now the only possible threats to Harry."

Lucius Malfoy: "I don't know why, but I feel like I've been hit..."

Bellatrix Lestrange: "Damn it! This magic clearly aims to suppress dark wizards!"

In the magical world, among the three Unforgivable Curses, the Killing Curse has the reputation of being an 'unstoppable' magic, even if this reputation is full of water.

Still, it is a fact that this curse cannot be easily blocked by something like a Protego.

Needless to mention, a forbidden spell can surely block a curse like the Killing Curse; Lily's sacrificial protection is the best proof of that.

A master of Transfiguration can also transform physical forms to resist the curse's attack in their place.

In this way, there are some ways to block the Killing Curse, but no magic has ever emerged that could really compete head-to-head with it.

Of course, no one knows what kind of tricks old bee Dumbledore really has up his sleeve...

Either way, now the magic that can compete with the Killing Curse... not with every single-target attack spell in the world, was born!

And it's in the hands of the Savior, which is actually something to celebrate in the magical world; it would be disastrous if a dark wizard obtained such magic, it would truly give wings to a tiger.

Kingsley Shacklebolt: "Haha! Harry, you have the capital to become the terror of the dark wizards! Strive to become an Auror as soon as possible!"

Rabastan Lestrange: "Damn it, Kingsley! Recruiting wizards right in front of me! Let's see if he can really grow in safety or be swallowed by the Death Eaters."

Bellatrix Lestrange: "All dark wizards! In praise of the great Dark Lord Voldemort, when the restriction of the comparison room ceases, do everything to kill Harry Potter at the first opportunity!"

Shock!

No one expected Bellatrix to suddenly declare a full-scale war against Harry Potter, and this was done in full view of everyone!

Although the Death Eaters and Harry Potter were already sworn enemies, it wouldn't be long before there was a confrontation between the two sides.

But even so, it was never a problem for Harry to walk freely through Diagon Alley and even leave the Leaky Cauldron with Hagrid's help without confrontations with dark wizards.

But now, it is a matter of whether Harry can leave Hogwarts Castle safely.

As for going to the Dursleys' house?

Please! Now all wizards in the magical world know the location of the Dursleys'; some even remember Harry's path to the school.

Harry, at this moment, was teary-eyed as he looked at his concerned mother for comfort.

Who knows? I just announced the effects of my new magic and immediately became the public enemy number one of the dark wizards!

It could be said that Harry deeply regretted not keeping quiet from the start.

Lily also couldn't think of anything to ease the situation; now, Harry's situation is a bit problematic.

Leaving Hogwarts Castle at this moment means not just being in view of the dark wizards; even magical beings like werewolves and Dementors have tried everything to take Harry's life at any moment.

The students in the room and the professors were sweating at this moment; the looks they were giving Harry seemed to be seeing a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment.

Among the students of Slytherin, there were some who exchanged subtle glances among themselves, but quickly returned to normal, and no one noticed this.

Dumbledore noticed the looks of Snape and Professor McGonagall and only looked at them with a frightening calm.

Even with all his magical power sealed, his blue eyes reflected overwhelming contained power; it seemed that even if the sky were to fall, he could lift it again.

Seeing Dumbledore's majestic aura for the first time in a long time, the two were initially shocked, and their concerns disappeared almost instantaneously.

Yes! Even though the person in front of them had some strange habits... he was still the most powerful wizard of the current era; How could something like that scare him?

In this way, the matter seemed to reach an end, but then someone finally realized that there was still one reward left.
