Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 307 A Little Incident During Gift Unwrapping! Exchanging Gifts with the Professors!

Dali had no interest in dating.

He picked up the small cake floating in the air, then looked at the gift box that wrapped the cake on the ground, and was speechless.

Because it was unsigned, it only read 'To the beloved Dursley Teaching Assistant'.

After a moment's thought, Dalí finished the small cake in a few bites, treating it as a pre-dinner dessert.

The aphrodisiac inside had absolutely no effect on him.

The system protects Dudley's thoughts from being tampered with; it's wishful thinking for this love potion to make Dudley inexplicably develop feelings of affection and infatuation for someone.

Dali didn't investigate who sent the cake; it's understandable for a teenager to make a silly mistake.

He should guide his students correctly in class, teaching them responsibility and accountability, and fundamentally eliminate such absurd ideas and actions.

However, this served as a reminder to Dali.

He paused his own gift-opening process and turned to look at the pile of gifts Harry had received.

With his X-ray vision activated and the system's identification function working in conjunction, no item information could escape his eyes.

Upon investigation, it was found that Harry's gifts did not contain any such tampered snacks, nor were there any other hidden dangers. However, one particular gift was special, given by a special person, and the gift itself was also special.

This relieved Dudley; thankfully, Harry hadn't grown up yet and wouldn't attract any unwanted attention.

Dali felt relieved and continued to unwrap his gifts. The remaining gifts were from teachers or friends with whom Dali had a close relationship.

Dali also sent gifts to these people last night.

First, there were gifts from the professors.

Old Deng gave Dudley a research notebook containing his recent research findings, including mental magic, doppelganger magic, and some alchemical knowledge.

This suits Dali's tastes quite well, even though it's not particularly original.

Unlike the gift Dali gave to Old Deng, which was given with great care!

Dudley gave Dumbledore a pair of stockings woven from the silk of the eight-eyed spider, and also added protective magic such as a temperature-regulating charm, a cleansing charm, and water and fire immunity.

In British culture, wool socks symbolize family affection, which is what Dumbledore craves most right now.

In the original story, Dumbledore desperately longed to receive such a gift.

Dali didn't have any wool on hand, and he thought ordinary wool wasn't high-end enough.

So they made a pair of socks from the silk of the eight-eyed giant spider and, through magic, made the socks look and feel exactly like wool socks.

I believe Dumbledore will like it.

After carefully putting away the research notes given to him by Dumbledore, Dudley opened the gift that Professor McGonagall had given him.

Wow! Advanced Transfiguration techniques, a handwritten copy, also a notebook.

Dudley was neither surprised nor disappointed. The gift he gave to Professor McGonagall was a small stone battle golem, an alchemical magical item based on the same principle as the guardian statues inside Hogwarts.

It's worth noting that the 'Stonestones Move' spell that drives the Hogwarts statues into battle is Professor McGonagall's Happy Charm.

In the original story, Professor McGonagall used this spell during the Battle of Hogwarts, and she was quite excited about it.

Dudley, knowing her preferences, used the alchemical techniques he had learned from Lemaître's treasure trove of knowledge to create a small stone combat golem and gave it to Professor McGonagall.

The puppet had a shield and a sword, and its combat power was considerable. Normally it was only the size of a palm, but when used, it could grow larger and transform into the size of a normal adult.

Well then, Dudley put away the Transfiguration notes given to him by Professor McGonagall and opened Professor Flitwick's gift.

As a result, yet another notebook appeared, containing Professor Flitwick's combat techniques and advanced spell usage skills.

Excellent!

But... his image as a top student and exam king has become so deeply ingrained that the gifts professors give him are all so unoriginal.

Dudley gave Professor Flitwick a pair of boots that allowed him to hover at low altitudes, which were also magical items he had made himself.

This can solve the problem of Professor Flitwick having to stack books and stand on stilts to increase his height every time he teaches.

Dudley had already given up hope of receiving any gifts from the professors.

In fact, he was right to think that way.

Professor Sprout gave him a book of rare herbal illustrations, while Dudley gave Professor Sprout an adaptive herbal shovel.

When digging for herbs, that shovel can automatically avoid the tiny roots of the herbs, achieving near-perfect harvesting.

Professor Slughorn gave Dudley a potion-making notebook, which clearly recorded the techniques for brewing and preparing many kinds of high-level potions, the first of which was Felix Felicis.

Dudley didn't put much thought into the gift he gave Professor Slughorn; he simply copied some advanced potion-making techniques from the Knowledge Collection Encyclopedia.

That was the essence of Master Flamel's knowledge and his life's collection of books, containing the most valuable content related to soul-related potions.

Dudley hoped this would provide some reference for Professor Slughorn and Snape's research and accelerate the research process of the Soul-Soothing Potion.

Professor Moody gave Dudley a combat skills notebook, or more accurately, a capture manual.

The above contains valuable experience on how to effectively use various white spells to subdue dark wizards, which is useful to Dudley, but not much.

Putting aside the fact that Dudley now has the power to overpower others, just in terms of fighting style, he is not used to such soft methods of subduing. He prefers to kill or cripple his enemies directly. He uses the Black and White Spells indiscriminately, using whatever is appropriate.

As for the gift Dudley gave to Professor Moody, it was a wine jug, similar in style to Professor Moody's original rose-colored wine jug.

But the flasks made by Dali were no ordinary flasks.

It's imbued with a special culinary magic that makes the wine inside the jug increasingly fragrant and delicious over time, without causing intoxication—perfect for a drunkard like Professor Moody who wants to drink but also stay sober.

Professor Babling, who taught the Ancient Runes course, gave Dudley an ancient rune book. Dudley gave her a similar gift, which was some ancient rune content extracted from a treasure trove of knowledge.

The last two gifts from the professors were from Sirius Black and Lupin.

Sirius Black, being incredibly wealthy, surprised Dudley by gifting him a large box of magical materials, which was also enchanted with a weight-reducing spell.

Dudley's gift to Sirius was a lesson plan that introduced the art of teacher's language, aiming to persuade Sirius not to be so undisciplined during Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Lupin is not short of money now, but the gift he gave Dudley was obviously not expensive either. It was also a notebook, which summarized the alchemical knowledge and magical item making techniques that the four raiders had studied during their student days.

Very thoughtful.

It was worth it for Dali to specially give him a transformation suit that was the perfect size.

Lupin can now transform into a scaled werewolf at will, but his size increases dramatically during the transformation, bursting through his clothes. He desperately needs a set of highly elastic magical armor.

These clothes are no different from ordinary clothes.

When transforming, it automatically grows larger as Lupin's size increases, adapting to the new body shape. It also possesses considerable magical defense capabilities and the warmth, dust-removing, and self-repairing functions expected of a regular wizard's robe.
