Slytherin Dormitory.
The dark mist gradually dissipated, merging into the shadows as if it had a will of its own.
"The second magical outburst of wizards has created countless unrepeatable miracles! And this achievement is merely the beginning."
Having understood everything, Ino sighed deeply from the bottom of his heart.
150 Chocolate Frog cards.
This wasn't just a collection game for young wizards; it was 150 magical miracles.
The terrifying Ograf, the invincible Andros, Archibald Alderton who accidentally blew away an entire village while making a cake...
Each of them was a unique, unrepeatable miracle, proving the uncontrollable nature of magical outbursts.
Letting his mind wander, Ino thought about many things.
He thought about Parseltongue, about Nicolas Flamel and the Philosopher's Stone, even about the four founders and Merlin...
Regardless of light or dark, good or bad.
These wizards, who left their names in magical history, ultimately became fleeting, unrepeatable miracles.
...
Meanwhile.
Lina made her request.
"Since you already have the answer in your heart, send me back now if it's convenient! I want to spend the remaining time with that flower."
"Of course!" Ino nodded without hesitation. "It's changed a lot inside; you probably wouldn't recognize it. There's even a new valley to the east."
He knew very well that Lina couldn't return to the sanctuary by herself.
Not just Lina, but also Fide and Boggart. Although they had connections, they didn't have the freedom to come and go.
Thinking of this, Ino gently held Lina's leg with one hand and placed his other hand on five or six handwritten magic books on the table.
Their figures disappeared abruptly.
The dormitory became cold and quiet again.
...
At the same time, on the other side of the castle.
In the fifth-year Gryffindor dormitory.
George and Fred were sitting on the bed, whispering, with a pile of scattered coins between them.
Although most of the coins were Knuts and Sickles, there was also a considerable amount of Galleons.
"How much do you think we need?" George glanced at the money on the bed, which was his and Fred's earnings for three whole years.
"I don't know, but I don't think it will be cheap."
Fred shared his thoughts.
With Ino back, he and George had been discussing buying a Movie Mirror.
Their goal was simple: to modify and repurpose it for resale.
Fred knew they hadn't followed Malfoy for so long just to make money; they wanted to observe the mirror closely.
Their careful observation over this time had revealed a business opportunity.
The Movie Mirror, when not displaying images, was just a plain mirror, dull and uninteresting.
But the mirror in the Burrow's dressing room, which often made critical remarks and could even curse, gave them an excellent idea.
Let the mirror judge the mirror!
It was simple—take the dressing room mirror's function and add it to the Movie Mirror.
This way, while displaying images, the mirror could also critique, praise, criticize, or even swear...
It would be very amusing.
But the only problem now was how much a Movie Mirror would cost.
"Altogether, we only have 24 Galleons and 13 Sickles."
George spread his hands helplessly, knowing it wasn't nearly enough.
"What about the Straw Ring? And the last payment of 3 Galleons from the Jumping Jacks?" Fred added belatedly.
Then he shook his head; even with an additional 3 Galleons, it was still far from enough.
As they were at a loss, another voice sounded in the dormitory.
Lee Jordan, amused, looked at the twins, who usually seemed clever but now appeared like tailless dogs, dull and ordinary.
"Why do you need to buy it? Shared benefits from cooperation are the way to go. And I don't think you can afford it anyway, like Muggle TVs; each one is very expensive..."
Lee Jordan analyzed confidently.
Honestly, the first appearance of the Movie Mirror in the Great Hall had surprised him.
But after the brief surprise, it was just a wizard's version of a TV. Many young wizards from Muggle families weren't impressed either.
In the dormitory.
Listening to Lee Jordan's suggestion, George and Fred simultaneously showed enlightened expressions.
They also saw foolishness in each other's eyes.
"I knew we shouldn't spend too much time with Ron!"
"You're right! A foolish little brother can be profitable, but we need to keep our distance."
Though they joked, George and Fred knew it had nothing to do with Ron.
It was entirely because of Malfoy. Spending so much time with him made them subconsciously resist cooperation.
But now, with Lee Jordan's advice, they realized Malfoy was just a gofer, even a free one.
Having made up their minds, George and Fred didn't delay.
After tidying up the coins on the bed, they walked out of the dormitory.
...
Similarly, a similar scene played out in other houses.
Everyone wanted to have something interesting.
Before, perhaps because the inventor was absent, any ideas had to wait.
But now, with the inventor back, many people began to act.
In Ravenclaw Tower.
Cho Chang was surrounded by many people.
As the house's darling, Ravenclaw's Seeker, with both looks and talent, Cho never lacked attention from the opposite sex.
However, at this moment, she was mostly surrounded by girls.
Ravenclaw, ever since Rowena, had adhered to the principle of more girls than boys.
It seemed that in Britain, girls were always clever.
But the usually noble and calm Ravenclaw girls had now turned into chattering tree frogs, each expressing their unique opinions.
"We should film an opera..."
"A love story, a tragic love story..."
"We should record educational content, like the library in the common room, so future students can study and refer to it..."
Cho was surrounded by over a dozen senior girls, listening to them endlessly. Although the younger girls didn't have the courage to speak, they all pricked up their ears.
"Stop! Your endless discussion is like a Fwooper's song."
A loud voice echoed through the tower, making everyone cover their ears.
After a brief moment of deafness, the girls turned back with anger.
In the entire castle and the British wizarding world, no one dared to provoke Ravenclaw girls like this.
