As summer approached, the students at Hogwarts finally welcomed the long-awaited holiday. Amid the whistling of the train, the young wizards embarked on their journey home.
Different from them were the seventh-year young wizards.
They had graduated. From the moment they stepped onto the train, they would no longer belong to this school. Instead, they were to embark on their new lives and take up their respective positions.
Headmaster Dumbledore stood at the school gate, smiling as he watched these reluctant students.
"Go, children. Whenever you want to come back for a visit, Hogwarts will always welcome you. You are the pride of Hogwarts."
He was tall and thin, wearing glasses on his face, a wizard's robe, and a pointed hat. He sent his blessings and encouragement to the students in his unique style.
Finally, all the students had left. He turned around with a smile and walked towards the castle. After a short meeting with the teachers, they too would welcome their own holiday.
Suddenly, he stopped and showed a surprised expression.
On the grass below the castle, a black-haired boy was lying there.
He was certain that there was no such child in the castle. But he had been standing here all the time. How did this boy get in?
Apparition?
Impossible. Hogwarts had been under numerous spells and restrictions. One of the well - known ones was the ban on anyone using Apparition. Even he, Dumbledore, who is known as the most powerful wizard of this century, couldn't break this restriction.
"It seems I have some other things to take care of before enjoying my summer vacation." He shook his head amusingly, took out his wand, and gently tapped it. The boy lying on the ground floated up and hovered beside him as they walked into the castle together.
In the castle hall, the teachers were all waiting. As soon as Dumbledore entered, Deputy Headmistress Minerva McGonagall walked over. "Dumbledore, we... Oh, Who's this kid?"
Hearing Professor McGonagall's call, the teachers curiously gathered around.
"A wonderful young lad who suddenly showed up in the school. Just in case, I'll keep him with me for a while." Dumbledore said with a smile.
"Suddenly showed up in the school..." The man in a black robe with greasy curly hair frowned. "Headmaster, you know the peculiarity of this year. It's better to deal with such an unstable factor as soon as possible."
"Well~ Severus, I know what you want to say. But I don't think we should assume he's an enemy just because a child broke the Apparition restriction, right? Otherwise, we'd be no different from those wizards."
As he said this, he looked at the boy with a smile. "Moreover, I find him very interesting. I can't even tell how much magic he has. Isn't that surprising?"
"Maybe he's just a Muggle." The black - robed man called Severus said irritably.
"Oh, that's good too. If he's a Muggle, it just proves there's no danger.
Dumbledore let out a soft chuckle and then waved his hand. "Well, let's not talk about this young fellow for now, Severus. Harry will be coming after the summer vacation. I think you'll be pleased about that."
"Never."
"All right then." Dumbledore didn't seem intent on lingering on this topic. As he kept the young boy floating beside him, he began to discuss with the teachers the matter of the new students' enrollment after the summer vacation.
The teachers didn't leave the Hogwarts campus by Apparition until it was almost dark. In the huge castle, only the tall old man remained. Well, there were also quite a few ghosts and the like.
The old man looked at the young boy with a smile. "Dear young sir, if you're awake, how about saying hello?"
"..." Zheng Fan opened his eyes and smiled helplessly. "You noticed I was awake a long time ago?"
"Of course. The power of magic is quite miraculous." Dumbledore raised his eyebrows. "I'm Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Dear young sir, could you tell me why you're here?"
Zheng Fan shook his head. "Sorry, I don't know."
To be honest, he was more confused than the old man in front of him at the moment. Why did he end up here after waking up from a sleep?
Dumbledore, Hogwarts... this was the world of Harry Potter... and he'd become a child. Clearly, he'd time - traveled, but the current situation wasn't good. Dumbledore, the most powerful white wizard in history. Even the Dark Lord Voldemort (Voldemort is a very powerful and evil character in the Harry Potter world) would give him some leeway. Having such a powerful figure asking him questions put a great deal of pressure on him.
Zheng Fan, who wasn't a wizard and had no magic power, was as helpless as a baby in front of Dumbledore, a great wizard. Dumbledore didn't even use any magic, yet the faint waves he emitted were already hard for Zheng Fan to withstand.
Just then, a voice sounded in Zheng Fan's mind. "The All-Powerful Module System has been activated! You're rewarded with one gold draw and one normal draw! Please start the draw, Host!"
"The All-Powerful Module System?" The voice came from Zheng Fan's mind, and he could communicate with it using his thoughts. Hearing Zheng Fan's confusion, the voice explained, "The system aims to help the host become the strongest in the infinite worlds. By means of draws, exchanges, etc., the host can download numerous powerful modules, and as the number of modules grows, the host will become a supreme powerhouse!"
For Zheng Fan, who had nothing at the moment, this was the best news. "Start the gold draw first!"
"The gold draw begins... Congratulations, Host! You've won the 'Advanced Energy Module'! The module is being installed... Installation completed!"
As the voice faded, a terrifying and shivering energy suddenly surged through Zheng Fan's empty body! In less than a tenth of a second, Zheng Fan transformed from an ordinary person with no power into someone with powerful magic that most top - level wizards could hardly match!
"So much power... Is this what magic feels like?"
"No, this is the pure energy brought by the Advanced Energy Module, which can recharge any power system. Mana is just a tiny branch of it!"
"I see... Then I'll start a normal draw!"
"The normal draw begins... Congratulations, Host! You've obtained the Mechanized Mind Module! This module is non - mandatory. Do you want to install it?"
"Mechanized mind? What does that mean?" Zheng Fan asked in surprise.
"Activating the Mechanized Mind Module will put the host into an absolutely rational mode without emotions. In this state, all your actions and judgments will be the optimal ones you can make. Additionally, under the Mechanized Mind, you'll be immune to most psychic attacks and detections!"
"Install it! Install it right now!"
"Received. The module is being installed... Installation complete! There are three remaining module slots!"
Although the exchange in his mind seemed quite long, it actually took less than a second, which was exactly when Dumbledore finished asking Zheng Fan the first question.
Hearing Zheng Fan's answer, Dumbledore didn't seem satisfied. He looked into Zheng Fan's eyes and slowly activated his magic.
Zheng Fan looked at Dumbledore and issued a command in his mind.
Activate the Mechanized Mind Module!
