Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 364 The Founder's Blessing! Ensuring the Smooth Implementation of Miracles!

"Using Hogwarts as an excuse?"

Upon hearing this answer, Dumbledore was not enlightened; instead, he became even more confused. "How can Hogwarts be used as an excuse?"

Dudley smiled slightly and began his explanation:

"In the current magical world, you are recognized as the strongest white wizard, and no one can surpass your reputation and prestige."

Even so, you can't suppress the effects of the miraculous ability to regain youth, let alone suppress the effects of an even more miraculous resurrection.

"The effects of resurrection ability? Didn't you tell Lily and the others that you had a way to eliminate the effects? Why are you bringing it up again now? Could it be..."

Dumbledore became increasingly confused by Dudley's words.

This time, Dudley interrupted Dumbledore's question directly: "Stop with the questions, just listen to me."

I have the means, and I have already used them, to eliminate the potential adverse effects of revealing my resurrection ability.

However, if the resurrection ability could be given a mysterious and dubious origin without being applied to me, that would be a great bonus, saving me from the potentially harmless troubles that might befall me.

This mysterious origin, and the excuse I'm trying to use to justify my ability to look younger, are both related to Hogwarts.

To put it bluntly, I want to attribute these two miraculous abilities to the four founders of Hogwarts, claiming they are mysterious blessings left behind by the founders at Hogwarts!

The abilities of the four founders of Hogwarts have been the subject of much speculation and cannot be verified by people of that time.

The wizarding world might not completely believe that they could leave behind miraculous blessings at Hogwarts, making professors younger and even resurrecting the dead, but they wouldn't completely dismiss it either.

Our victory is if we can gradually lead people from skepticism to complete belief!

Moreover, when holding a press conference, you don't need to attribute these two miracles to the four founders of Hogwarts with absolute certainty; use more ambiguous and specious statements.

You say you believe that such a miracle must be a blessing left by the four founders of Hogwarts.

The blessing, though given in the name of the four founders of Hogwarts, is something we secretly decide who gets it and who doesn't. But to outsiders, it appears to be the will of the four founders, something they cannot force.

That way, no one will bother us directly about this.

After hearing Dudley's explanation, Dumbledore's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Young minds really do work."

Dudley's brain works better.

The plan has been finalized, but there are still details that need to be finalized.

Dumbledore asked, "Since we're using the blessing of the four founders of Hogwarts as an excuse, what was the reason for this blessing? Should we make up a reason to increase the credibility of this claim?"

"Do we need to make up this reason? Isn't it ready-made? We collected all the treasures left by the four founders of Hogwarts during the summer vacation, fulfilling the founders' long-cherished wish of a thousand years."

For this reason, the blessings left by the four founders of Hogwarts were activated, and who wouldn't say it was perfectly reasonable?

Dali had already come up with a reason, and this reason wasn't entirely a lie.

It was because he helped the four founders of Hogwarts find and 'clean' the lost treasures that he gained the opportunity to elevate his conceptual spells, acquire the conceptual restoration spell, and use it to create all sorts of unimaginable miracles.

“Yes, yes, yes! This reason is perfect. When I hold the press conference later, I can first mention the fact that the founder’s treasures have been collected. In this way, the claim that the founder bestowed blessings will be even more credible.”

Dumbledore clapped his hands and said that he could have come up with the reason if he had taken his time, but he was a bit too caught up in the moment to think clearly.

"So, pulling my beard to make Polyjuice Potion and then appearing in public with an aged face to give speeches must be the same idea I had, using the potion as an excuse, to let me demonstrate the effects of the blessing on the spot, right?"

Dumbledore asked again.

This is asking about specific implementation details.

He knew that Dali must have a plan.

"That's right!"

Dudley replied, and without waiting for Old Deng's fragmented questions, he began to describe his specific action plan, "When you hold the press conference in Diagon Alley, you calculate the duration of the compound decoction's effects and control the pace of your speech."

When the effects of the medicine were about to wear off, he unleashed his full magical power and created some illusory light effects as a cover, transforming himself into a younger appearance in front of everyone.

At that time, you can say that this power, which seems to be a blessing from the founder, has already descended upon you.

However, your magical skills are quite good, and you can barely control this blessing power so that it doesn't take effect for the time being, unlike other professors who inevitably become younger once the blessing arrives.

In order to showcase this miracle to the entire magic interface and respect everyone's right to know, you chose to make the blessing power take effect in public.

In this way, no one can say that you are showing off in public.

Later, you can also say that you have summarized a pattern, which may not be accurate.

It is said that after collecting all of the founder's treasures, the founder would bestow blessings upon those who had contributed to Hogwarts, and their families would also benefit.

This would explain why you and your brother looked younger and why all your relatives were resurrected, since your contributions to Hogwarts are undeniable and no one has done as much as you.

My Aunt Lily and Uncle James were able to be resurrected thanks to my cousin and me.

Other professors have a reason to become younger, or for having family members to be resurrected.

Of course, you don't need to go into detail about specific examples at the press conference. Let the wizards in the magical world discover the information and find the answers themselves. That will be more effective than if you announce it directly.

This not only explains the two miracles of becoming younger and being resurrected, but also serves as advertising for Hogwarts, enhancing its prestige and fame.

In the future, outstanding wizards from all over the world will aspire to join Hogwarts. We can select the best from among the best in expanding enrollment and hiring new faculty and staff, ensuring Hogwarts' continued success!

After hearing Dudley's detailed execution plan, Dumbledore admired Dudley's wisdom and long-term vision even more.

While his focus was still on resolving the impact of becoming younger, Dudley had already devised a plan to use it to help Hogwarts develop.

“I’ve noted down the plan.” Dumbledore reached out and took the few strands of white beard Dudley handed him, putting them away and nodding slightly in response.

Then Dumbledore asked Dudley another key question that had puzzled him earlier:

"Dali, you know about my family's situation. The problem now is, what age should Aberforth and I revert to?"
