The Little Superman of Hogwarts

This weekend at Hogwarts seemed very chaotic because of Hermione's petrification. By Monday, everyone seemed to have returned to normal. No one mentioned Hermione, and no one mentioned the Basilisk.

But it was like the calm before the storm… In reality, undercurrents were surging!

The Ministry of Magic's special envoy handed two Time-Turners to Kerry—Professor McGonagall found an excuse to give Hermione's to Kerry as well.

The first moment Kerry got the Time-Turners, he realized that their essence was actually the same as the Time Castle—they were not creations of Earth, but magical creations from other magical worlds!

The internal structure was so complex that it was simply beyond the manufacturing capabilities of Earth's magic level.

Kerry used a magic converter to input his magic power, and then turned the time dial—he could only go back a maximum of eight hours. Going further would cause irreversible damage to the Time-Turner. Kerry calculated the time; if he wanted to save Hermione, he would need at least 96 hours or more, and this thing couldn't withstand that kind of abuse.

Moreover, this thing also followed the [Law of Least Impact]. Now that everyone knew about Hermione's petrification, if he wanted to go back in time and change this situation, the magic power required would be astronomical. If he could have gotten this thing a few days earlier, that would have been great.

Professor McGonagall called Kerry to her office and seriously formulated the Time-Turner usage plan for this academic year—according to the plan, Kerry would attend classes with the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. Courses such as History of Magic were naturally not considered; the main focus was on Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, and Ancient Runes, among other major courses.

Professor McGonagall would inform all the teaching professors in advance, and Kerry could go to listen to classes at any time. He also received a full schedule—according to this schedule, Kerry would have at least six classes every day—it was simply a nightmare…

"You must be good at using the Time-Turner. Keep Hermione's for her for now, and use it when she recovers! I believe it won't be long!"

"Okay!" Kerry replied.

In the following days, Kerry followed various different houses to learn different courses. The courses for the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grades were all explored to varying degrees—especially when Kerry attended a sixth-grade course for the first time, the rate of heads turning was off the charts!

But in the sixth-grade Charms class, Kerry's performance was so outstanding that it was exemplary! All the wizards were shocked beyond belief.

That was because Professor Flitwick asked a question: "Does magic belong to the soul or to the body?"

Everyone felt a headache over this question—thinking about it, before Harry's grade, there were no particularly outstanding children. Almost ten years passed before a Hermione appeared. The essence of magic was not something that ordinary people could think about; thinking too much would lead to baldness—just like Professor Flitwick.

Seeing the quiet classroom, Kerry finally raised his hand. Professor Flitwick was slightly surprised and gestured for Kerry to speak.

Kerry stood up and said directly: "The essence of magic is that magic is magic. It belongs neither to the soul nor to the body!"

"If we find a group of blind people to touch an elephant, some blind people only touch the elephant's ears, so they say that the elephant is a soft fan. Some blind people touch the elephant's legs and say that the elephant is a pillar. Others only grab the elephant's tail, so they say that the elephant is a snake."

"Do you think what these people are saying is correct?" Kerry asked the professor.

"Of course not!" Professor Flitwick was very surprised. He said, "Then what do you think magic is?"

"Magic is magic! It belongs neither to the soul nor to the body! The reason why some people ask about the essence of magic is because they don't understand the essence of magic!"

"The essence of magic is that it has no essence! Magic is magic! It is wrong to use any vocabulary beyond magic to describe it! An elephant is certainly not a fan, nor a pillar, nor a snake. An elephant is an elephant!

It has both the attributes of the soul and the attributes of the body, as well as other material and idealistic characteristics. If we want to understand the essence of magic, we must forget the rules of daily life and understand magic from the essence of magic!

Magic is like an AI system with its own intelligence. When you use your soul to contact magic, it shows soulfulness. When you use your body to contact it, it shows physical characteristics. But these are only distinguished by the pathway, not by the magic!

If I had to use a word to better describe magic, I would call it: [Divine Power]!

God is omnipotent, so divine power is also omnipotent, at least to a certain extent. The essence of magic is divine power. If it were in ancient times, we would not be wizards, but children of the gods!

Hogwarts is actually an ancient Greek Mount Olympus! Dumbledore is the chief god, Snape is the goddess Hera, McGonagall is the earth goddess Gaia, and Flitwick can be called the sea god Poseidon!

If you bring each of us into it, you will understand the essence of magic! The essence of magic lies in the ability to do whatever you want!

Finally, I need to say that I strongly recommend that everyone study Ancient Runes well, because Runes are closer to magic. It is a language dedicated to magic and will allow everyone to understand the deeper meaning of magic."

After Kerry finished speaking, he sat down. What he said was a bit too profound, so that the sixth-grade students looked at each other.

Professor Flitwick nodded and said, "Gryffindor, ten points! Kerry's explanation is very good!"

Some students showed thoughtful expressions. They seemed to have benefited a lot. Some people muttered to themselves, "So I am the son of a god in mythology… That's why I can become a wizard! Yes! Compared to Muggles, we are gods!"

In this way, everything went smoothly. Ginny was desperately learning potions knowledge, and Hermione was lying on the bed like a corpse—in the evening, Kerry would take an hour to chat with Hermione—of course, Hermione, whether soul or body, was truly frozen, with no response.

Time quickly came to Friday. On this day, Kerry ran to the fourth-grade Potions class of Hufflepuff.

He was going to see someone he had wanted to see for a long time—Hufflepuff's first champion—Cedric!

Kerry sneered in his heart: Voldemort, you wait for me. Didn't you want to open the Chamber of Secrets and kill the Mudbloods? I will let your great-grandson burn incense and send you off!

Kerry opened a roll of parchment. The [Cedric Cultivation Plan] kicked off!
