He soon noticed that Pansy had indeed followed the recipe book’s advice, choosing the Magic Girl + Lion Dog as her Super-Wizard power formula.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know many people secretly laugh at me for looking like a Lion Dog, but so what?” she said. “Now I’ve turned that mockery into strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Pansy basked in her triumph, Greengrass still refused to give up. She locked herself in her dormitory, endlessly folding paper cranes and tiny stars—perhaps to win Draco’s pity. Then, immediately after, Pansy began knitting a scarf to win his favor, only for Draco to dismiss it as clichéd and boring, which made Harry briefly uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But under mounting pressure, Draco ultimately failed to defy reality. Instead, he hardened his heart, publicly declaring, “We’re impossible,” while dumping an entire glass jar of tiny stars into the Black Lake. Greengrass burst into tears and ran away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a faint sense of indirect guilt, Harry instructed Ivy to find a chance to comfort the girl. Thus, when Greengrass began her new school life, the matter was fully closed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Harry could catch his breath, China’s veteran technical experts finally assembled and prepared to officially launch the lunar mission. Once again, Harry had to start running off-campus every other day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Prime Minister had arranged lodging for the Chinese and Soviet experts in the same Muggle hotel. Over the coming weeks, they needed to devise a concrete plan to execute the [Harry Potter-dependent] lunar mission—since Yanayev had no real desire to go to the Moon, the actual participants were Soviet scholars who had been sidelined for not aligning with central ideology. Ironically, the technicians from both sides found themselves sharing far more common ground than expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Harry arrived at the hotel, the first person to greet him was a Chinese man he didn’t recognize—but his personal presentation was impeccable: clearly a military officer by background, he stood tall, well-proportioned, his gaze steady and resolute. Harry had no doubt this was a man of iron will and pride, one who would fight to the last moment against any injustice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, I’m Zhang Beihai, chief coordinator of this lunar team,” he said, extending a hand to shake Harry’s. “Of course, you can guess—I’m with the Six Gates.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, hello!” Harry said cheerfully. “You’re a Zhang too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. The Zhang family is a very large wizarding clan in China,” he nodded slightly. “Please follow me. Master Xuan has special instructions regarding this team’s work—I believe you should be informed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, Harry followed him into a meeting room that showed no signs of secrecy. Zhang Beihai, likewise, gave no impression of being discreet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The special instruction is this: we must construct a high-power radar station to communicate with the lunar rocket via frequency bands,” he said calmly. “China will cover most of the base’s construction costs, on the condition that the base be named ‘Hong’an.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry scratched his head. He knew the construction of a tracking station was necessary, and since China was footing the bill, they could build it and name it whatever they liked—technically, they didn’t need his approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t object to it,” he hesitated, “but—are you sure there are no other conditions?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“None, as long as you approve the name,” Zhang Beihai said, pulling out a simple document outlining the matter and preparing for Harry’s signature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the pen touched the paper, Harry suddenly realized something deeper: as a point of fate, [Harry Potter’s approval] itself held significant value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what consequences could a name cause? He couldn’t imagine—dismissed it as some Chinese superstition or fandom ritual—and ultimately signed it without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything that followed exceeded expectations. From the moment Hong’an Base’s plans were finalized, the joint working location for both teams was confirmed; the selection of sites for the large rocket and upper stages followed; three satellite projects for Earth-Moon communication were rapidly established; the design concept for the high-thrust rocket passed review; and a mixed team of Muggle experts and Spell Masters for the lunar spacecraft was assembled. The entire project was advancing at a miraculous pace, pushing forward with full force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Harry thought nothing else could go wrong, in mid-March, when everyone’s attention was fixed on the upcoming Easter holiday, as he sat in the pub, having just accepted Lupin’s wedding invitation from Sirius—[21] Donald burst into the pub, rushed to Harry’s table, and cried out in panic: “You’ve caused a disaster, Harry! You have no idea how big a mess you’ve made! And that evil old man Ge Xuan—how dare he joke about this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donald burst into the bar, rushed to Harry’s table, and exclaimed in frantic distress: “We’re in trouble, Harry, you have no idea how big a mess you’ve made! And that evil old man Ge Xuan—how dare he, how dare he joke about something like this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong?” Sirius immediately tensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donald raised one finger, speaking rapidly: “Hong’an Base—you can’t build Hong’an Base! If Hermione hadn’t told me—no, I just realized he’d planted a mental suggestion in her too—ETO! This is terrifying—you don’t understand, you can’t possibly understand…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Harry was oddly pleased to see this seemingly invincible transmigrant finally show fear. He asked cautiously: “So, what’s wrong with these things? Are they connected to your… future, some kind of… terminology?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a manifestation, Harry. Only recently did I realize how far Ge Xuan has gone in this area—a true, advanced method of wielding magic. But I never thought he’d dare play with this.” Donald calmed slightly, sitting down at the table. “He calls it ‘Zhongkou Shuo Jin’—you could call it the power of belief. Do you remember the Kamen Rider system?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course. Go on,” Harry said, beginning to catch his unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be precise, I still don’t understand how he used existing alchemy to create the Rider belt. Later, I grasped a hint: it’s an advanced application of Grand Vows—he mobilized non-existent masses to trigger manifestation—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a minute,” Sirius interrupted. “Could you start from the beginning?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donald paused, then rubbed his chin, speaking now in a far steadier tone: “Of course. You and I both constantly seek stronger magic, and he’s clearly developed some astonishing rituals. First, we must admit he’s a genius. Long ago, he discovered a fact modern ritual magic often ignores: Muggles can participate in ritual magic and provide immense power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ge Xuan used this insight to design a grand ritual that not only granted him power and solved his immediate problems, but also gave Chinese wizards a new discipline: Incense God Dao—the practice of amplifying spells through Muggle belief… I believe this, in some way, also circumvents the Statute of Secrecy’s restrictions on wizards.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But this discipline never flourished because human thought is too complex. Muggle belief rarely adds much power—it often creates interference. Unless, like Ge Xuan in his time, the empire faced existential collapse, it’s nearly impossible to gather enough collective belief to break through the Super-Wizard threshold.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry still looked confused, but Sirius seemed to grasp it—he nodded silently, urging Donald to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So Ge Xuan invented the [nonexistent audience]: leveraging Muggle belief from parallel worlds. Take Kamen Rider—we all know Kamen Rider is a fictional series created by Muggles. But because Ge Xuan altered history, this series no longer exists in our world—yet in parallel worlds, it still does, doesn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Muggles in parallel worlds naturally believe in it—or at least, some always do. And parallel worlds are infinite. By gathering the power of these Muggles, Ge Xuan can manifest Kamen Rider in our world. I don’t fully understand how he does it, but I understand the principle. That’s why I thought ‘Dalaran’ might lend strength to our floating city—and I intended to observe how this mechanism works.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t sound bad. A win-win system. Harry nodded silently. Donald had also said that in the future, as the Warcraft games expanded, Dalaran would become a beloved classic floating city among Muggles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But do you know what Hong’an Base and ETO are meant to manifest?” Donald suddenly grew serious. “What I’m about to say—don’t be afraid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re not afraid,” Sirius said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A group of extraterrestrials preparing to invade Earth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirius burst out laughing, then quickly schooled his expression, forcing himself to look serious. Harry, seeing this, almost laughed too—but held it in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t think I’m joking. This isn’t some childish, pretend invaders—it’s terrifying, cold, a true horror Earth’s humans have never encountered—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing both men clenching fists against their mouths, struggling not to laugh, Donald suddenly lost all desire to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>",1441,"2026-06-21T04:54:29.438Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","7ef3805ae8f0f0006161fb2db332ad5a42f80b6fd1e91d0f2bf62a65eb7128a4","wizard-war-at-hogwarts-chapter-518","wizard-war-at-hogwarts-chapter-516",528,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-war-at-hogwarts-cover.jpg"]
