Chapter 53 - Chapter 52 Discussions sparked by the magic ring

The professors were all very satisfied with Lan Luo's magic ring. Sometimes, when Lan Luo's clone was in class, some professors would even 'unjustifiably' add points to Lan Luo, for example: 'Mr. Thomas, for listening attentively, Ravenclaw gains 2 points.'

Professor Snape's mood had clearly improved a lot recently. While Lan Luo's main body was studying magic in the Room of Requirement, Lan Luo's clone in the school could clearly feel the students' enthusiasm for Lan Luo, especially the female students. This was all thanks to Ron's two older brothers, who often called Ron to the common room to organize Gryffindor students to watch movies, and even held house concerts with songs. For a time, Lan Luo's fans in the school surged. At this point, Lan Luo no longer concealed himself, but his clone was once damaged when surrounded by female students.

Students capable of attending a magic school are not foolish, and they are also studying magic. This incident instantly made all the students aware that Lan Luo knew a cloning magic that could attend school in his place, and it seemed there was more than one, as an older student personally came forward to confirm.

This instantly ignited the entire house. How could a first-year Little Wizard stand out? It must be the cloning magic. And to be able to create a magic ring so quickly, there must be support from within the house.

These were all reported in the second issue of The Daily Prophet. The article, 'Young Genius or Hogwarts' Puppet?', wrote: 'Lan Luo Thomas, from an orphan Muggle family, how could he, within a few months of enrollment, create such a magical and top-tier alchemical creation as the magic ring, even though Lan Luo's talent at Hogwarts is not outstanding?' Finally, the Ministry of Magic also appealed to everyone not to believe these unsubstantiated rumors.

Whether it was a rumor, the students of Hogwarts certainly knew. Some knowledgeable ones understood this was suppression from the Ministry of Magic, while others were skeptical.

However, what was published in The Quibbler was more intriguing. In the article 'Magic Changes Future and Innovation,' it mentioned the various wonders of Lan Luo's magic ring, and how it could discard the traditional owl messaging method. It also discussed the prospect of being able to buy anything you want from home through the magic ring, as well as various forums. The model for news was also changing, and music, movies, and magic Advancement could all be obtained through the magic ring. At the end of the article, it even praised Lan Luo as another legendary wizard after the White Dark Lord.

Lan Luo knew about the outside news but had no other options, because he currently had no connections, only galleons and alchemy skills, and some knowledge of Potions. It was impossible to surpass Snape in a short time, because many details, or the control and modification of potions, required time and experimentation, unless there was an artificial intelligence that could analyze and calculate infinitely.

So, the best course of action now was to first prepare to build his Sky Island villa. He could take some animals back to raise in the Sky Island's waters at the end of the semester, and also raise some white dolphins. Finally, he needed to construct an invisibility magic array. Lan Luo had finally constructed a large-scale magic array, and previous plans could be discarded.

Not to mention Lan Luo's troubles, Harry also encountered quite a few. The day they were caught, Professor McGonagall punished them by making them patrol the Forbidden Forest. Harry encountered Voldemort. This time, there was no direct confrontation; Harry directly used his ring to teleport back, so nothing major happened.

Even without the ring, Lan Luo believed Harry wouldn't be in any danger. Secretly, it might have been Dumbledore there, after all, it was only said at the beginning of the school year that Little Wizards couldn't go to the Forbidden Forest, yet a slight mistake led to going to the Forbidden Forest to die. This did not fit Lan Luo's impression of Professor McGonagall.

Later, Harry and his friends learned from Hagrid that a stranger had given him a dragon egg to trick him into revealing how to deal with the three-headed dog.

When Harry went to find Professor McGonagall, Professor McGonagall said that Headmaster Dumbledore was not there. Then Harry and the other two bravely broke into the philosophers stone's secret chamber, but the key was that those obstacles were designed for Little Wizards, posing no pressure at all for Voldemort. In the end, Harry still solved it.

This also similarly ignited the school. One first-year was at the peak of alchemy, and another first-year defeated Voldemort again. This made Harry's reputation in the school reach its peak, because Lan Luo was rarely seen outside of class, while Harry was someone they could often see.

At this time, Lan Luo once again came to the Headmaster's office. He held a piece of island cloud in his hand and happily said to Dumbledore, 'Headmaster, this is the main material for the house I'm going to build.' After speaking, he handed it over.

Dumbledore was also at a loss with Lan Luo. Last time, because of Lan Luo's matter, the Minister of Magic personally came to his office, and it was only because it was at Hogwarts that the matter didn't escalate.

However, before a few days of peace, Lan Luo wanted to build a Sky Island villa next to Hogwarts. This couldn't help but deepen Dumbledore's aged brows: 'Child, you can build a small house next to Hagrid's. There's no need to build it in the sky.' The previous incident was conspicuous; if people in the Wizarding World knew someone was building a house in the sky, it would be even more conspicuous.

Lan Luo was not satisfied with Dumbledore's idea and said, 'Headmaster, you also know that whenever I appear outside, there's a ten percent chance I'll be kidnapped by those Pure-blood families. And if I build it on the ground, it's also easy to be attacked. You should also know that I don't like to be disturbed while studying, and I try not to use magic to harm others, so this is the only solution I could think of.'

Dumbledore agreed with Lan Luo's statement. He knew Lan Luo's current magic level; it would be too easy for him to harm others. Once Lan Luo transformed into lightning, all problems could be solved in an instant, giving others no time to react, and it would be a crushing victory. Sometimes, he even wanted to practice elemental Animagus.

'Child, try not to let outsiders know. The Ministry of Magic has already taken notice of you.' Ultimately, Dumbledore still agreed, also because of the child's kindness and eagerness to learn.

He seemed to remember something else: 'Remember to attend the house's graduation banquet with your main body.'

Lan Luo also confidently replied, 'Don't worry, Headmaster, my main body will definitely be there tonight.' After speaking, he left the office directly. Just as he reached the corner, Lan Luo saw Professor Snape blocking his way.

Lan Luo had no particular dislike or fondness for Professor Snape. Snape merely pulled at the corners of his mouth stiffly and said, 'Mr. Thomas, could I ask you for a favor?'

'Is there anything I can help Professor Snape with?' Lan Luo replied politely.

'Can you remove the time limit on my ring's illusion?' Snape had recently become obsessed with the illusion, just like Harry before.

'Professor, that's just an illusion. It can only stir inner desires; it can't truly help you.' Lan Luo kindly reminded him at this point.

Snape spoke with increasing agitation: 'I know, but I don't care that it's an illusion. That's the only tenderness in my life. I've missed it once, and I don't want to miss it again.'

Lan Luo said helplessly, 'Professor, I can't go against my agreement with the Headmaster, but your persistence has moved me. I can give you a separate ten-minute limit for the ring. How does that sound?'

Snape heard this and felt that it was Lan Luo's greatest concession. Otherwise, if Dumbledore found out, having the ring taken back would be a loss.
