In the past, George would never have easily shared the magic he had learned from other worlds.
He had always feared that if he passed on his spells, they might eventually fall into the hands of his enemies. If that happened, and his own magic was used against him, wouldn't that be like digging his own grave?
But now, his strength had grown significantly. As long as the spells weren't part of his core magic, he felt there was no harm in letting some of them spread.
Especially spells like Mirror World—it had no offensive capabilities, and even if an enemy learned it, he would be able to sense it immediately.
In Middle-earth, he had founded Hogwarts of Middle-earth with the intention of teaching Light Magic and Giant Magic to the elves.
Both of these were highly positive forms of magic, ones that wouldn't offend the gods.
If he were to teach the elves and humans something like the Killing Curse, then even if he managed to defeat Morgoth, the gods would hardly look upon him kindly.
Similarly, in the Fairy Tail world, he had compiled a collection of magic from the Harry Potter universe and placed it in the Fairy Tail Guild's library.
This included one of the spells the Fairy Tail guild needed most—the Mending Charm.
However, since the two worlds had completely different magic systems, understanding and mastering these spells without the proper foundation was incredibly difficult. To make learning easier, George had already modified the Mending Charm to better align with the magic system of Fairy Tail.
Of course, even with these adaptations, it was still a challenge. The learning curve was steeper than with the native Fairy Tail magic.
Originally, the spell required an incantation and a wand to cast. But in the Fairy Tail world, magic was activated through magic circles, making the principles behind the spell fundamentally different.
Still, with enough dedication, it was definitely possible to learn.
Yet, despite all this time, not a single person had attempted to learn the Mending Charm.
That was because nearly every Fairy Tail mage believed that the magic they currently used was the best magic for them. No matter how powerful another type of magic was, they were completely devoted to honing their own abilities.
If the Mending Charm could be mastered in just a few days, they might have considered it.
But if it required months of study, or even a year or more for those with weaker magic foundations—and if the spell's effectiveness at first wouldn't be particularly impressive—then naturally, they had no interest.
Even Makarov, the one who valued the Mending Charm the most, refused to spend time learning it. His reasoning?
"As long as George is around, we have a master repair mage. Why bother? If George ever leaves, then we can learn it later."
And even if George were to disappear one day, wouldn't he have an apprentice by then? Surely, the title of Repair Mage would be passed down.

"Alright, we accept your terms!"
Without a moment's hesitation, the Weasley twins handed over the Marauder's Map to George.
To them, it wasn't a huge loss. They had already memorized all of Hogwarts' secret passageways. At most, the Marauder's Map helped them avoid Filch's patrols.
But with George's Mirror World Spell, they could simply hide in the mirror realm to escape Filch's notice—achieving the same effect.
More importantly, the Marauder's Map only worked within Hogwarts, whereas Mirror World could be used anywhere. It would greatly enhance their pranking potential.
There was no doubt—this was a fantastic trade.
"Excellent!"
George stored the Marauder's Map away and turned to the twins.
"Tomorrow, I'll compile a spellbook for you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
The magic systems in the Harry Potter world and the Fairy Tail world were vastly different. Without proper conversion, mages from both sides would struggle to learn each other's spells.
After all, the Fairy Tail world was a completely fictional construct, with its own unique writing system that was nothing like that of the Harry Potter universe.
However, the Wizard Apprentice world had a magic system that closely resembled Harry Potter's. Both worlds had Merlin as a legendary wizard, and magic in both universes relied on wands, rings, and other magical conduits for casting spells.
These two worlds had fundamentally similar magical principles. With just a few adjustments, their magic could be learned and used normally.
After returning to the Slytherin dormitory, George climbed into bed and went to sleep.
Over the Next Few Days
George split his time between different tasks. He studied Portkey creation under Dumbledore, taught the Weasley twins how to use Mirror Magic, and began researching the Marauder's Map.

October 16th – Hagrid's Hut
"George, thanks again for your help last time! If it weren't for you, Buckbeak would've been in serious trouble!"
Hagrid placed a rock-hard rock cake in front of George, his tone full of gratitude.
George picked up the stone-like pastry, took a few bites, and replied casually,
"It was Malfoy's fault to begin with. No big deal."
Back in early September, during the first Care of Magical Creatures class, Draco Malfoy had offended Buckbeak, the Hippogriff, and was scratched on the arm as a result. Furious, he had threatened to get his father involved to have Hagrid fired and Buckbeak executed.
Although Malfoy had mellowed out somewhat due to George's influence, he was still an arrogant, privileged pureblood—the heir to one of the most powerful wizarding families. His spoiled rich-boy attitude hadn't disappeared entirely.
With no other options, Hagrid and Harry's group had turned to George, hoping he could mediate the situation.
For George, this was hardly an issue.
Hagrid was his friend, and he had personally taken care of Buckbeak last year while researching magical creatures.
So, he simply had a talk with Malfoy, convincing him to drop the idea of reporting the incident to his father.
Hagrid let out a deep sigh. "Lucius Malfoy has strong connections in the Ministry. If he truly wanted Buckbeak dead, even Dumbledore wouldn't be able to stop it. After all, Buckbeak really did injure Malfoy…"
He shook his head regretfully, breaking off a piece of his rock cake and chewing it as he continued,
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have used Buckbeak for that lesson. I just wanted to make a good first impression on the students."

As they chatted, George eventually brought up the real reason he had come.
"Hagrid, I know you've always been fond of dragons. Do you know where they're currently found in the world?"
Hagrid's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Oh, now that's something I know a lot about! You remember, don't you? I raised a dragon once—Norbert! I did a ton of research back then, wrote letters to loads of friends."
He eagerly launched into a detailed explanation.
"The Australian Opaleye—mostly in New Zealand, though some have migrated to Australia."
"The Common Welsh Green and the Hebridean Black—plenty of them right here in Britain."
"The Hungarian Horntail—originally from Hungary, but now mainly in Romania."
Hagrid went on to list all ten known dragon breeds in the wizarding world, providing detailed information on each.
George listened carefully, taking mental notes.
He had already made up his mind.
Over the next few weekends, he would travel across the world, hunt down one dragon of each species, refine their essence into Dragon Crystals, and fuse them into his body.
This was the foundation of his Dragon Crystal Fusion Plan.
