Harry doesn't want to be a wizard, he wants to be a superhero

Chapter 193 Creating a Chat Group

The next day, after class, Harry was about to find Hagrid to tell him that the Chamber of Secrets had been reopened and that the Basilisk had started attacking others, so that he could prepare in advance.

After all, decades ago, he had a criminal record for keeping magical creatures to attack Myrtle. Even if Harry believed he was innocent, the Ministry of Magic did not think so.

If the attack on Colin Creevey is exposed, the Ministry of Magic will most likely arrest Hagrid and imprison him in Azkaban.

But on the way, Harry suddenly saw Nick, who was almost headless, emerge from a classroom.

Seeing Nick stop him, Harry asked curiously:

"What's wrong, Nick?"

Nick's behavior was quite unusual. He was usually very carefree, but now he was unusually shy and swayed slightly in the air.

However, he soon couldn't contain his excitement and said with great enthusiasm:

"Harry, this year's Halloween Eve will be my 500th birthday, and I'm going to hold a party in a rather spacious underground classroom. I hope you can come."

After all, you're the most famous person in the wizarding world right now. If you could come, my ghost friends would be so envious of me!

For these dead, almost desireless ghosts, being envied by other ghosts is more important than anything else.

Nick is also Harry's friend, and Harry certainly wouldn't refuse a friend's reasonable request.

Not to mention that this was a friend's birthday... or death anniversary!

Hmm~ It sounds a bit strange, but Harry is still going to participate.

So he smiled and nodded, agreeing:
"Of course, I will be there on time!"

Seeing that Harry agreed, Nick was very excited and exclaimed:

"Oh, my dear child! Harry Potter, it's wonderful to attend my death anniversary party!"
Also, could you please mention to Mr. Patrick that you find me particularly frightening and memorable?

Harry was always amazed by the battles between ghosts, who even competed to see who could be scarier.

However, he still agreed: "Uh, of course."

After Nick left, Hermione asked curiously:

"A death anniversary celebration—I bet very few living people have ever attended one. It must have been a truly magical event!"

Ron asked with some doubt:
"Why would they celebrate the day they died? It sounds really unlucky!"

Harry shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.

If he dies and becomes a spirit similar to the Ancient One, he will definitely celebrate his birthday!
Immediately afterwards, he sought out Hagrid and informed him of Colin's murder.

Upon hearing the news, Hagrid trembled violently, a flicker of fear crossing his face. He looked at Harry with deep gratitude, his voice slightly choked with emotion as he thanked him:
"Thank you, Harry. If you hadn't told me, I probably would have been arrested by the Ministry of Magic again. They don't care if I'm innocent or not; they just want to finish their mission and get some rest as soon as possible."

Looks like I'll need to hide in the Forbidden Forest for a while!

……

Time flies, and Halloween is just around the corner.

During this time, Harry wandered around Hogwarts Castle whenever he had free time, but he did not find any trace of the Basilisk.

Afterwards, he went to Nick's death anniversary party on time, with Ron and Hermione naturally accompanying him.

It must be said that this banquet hosted by the dead was truly novel and interesting, and their decoration style followed a completely dark theme.

Compared to the beautifully decorated and festive Halloween Great Hall above the castle, this underground classroom is like another world, with everything exuding an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

The candles were black, burning with blue flames, and even the music sounded like thousands of fingernails rubbing together.

Hundreds of milky-white, semi-transparent figures had gathered in the underground classroom. Some floated in the air, while others hovered on the ground, huddled together in twos and threes, conversing softly. These were Nick's ghostly companions.

With Harry by their side, Hermione and Ron felt incredibly safe. When the mysterious and wondrous scene before them came into view, the two exclaimed in perfect unison, "Wow!"
"cool!"

The three of them then began to wander around the ghostly underground classroom.

Although I would occasionally pass right through a ghost's body without warning, and feel a chill run through my body, there were no other problems.

Suddenly, Hermione stopped, turned around abruptly, and reminded her:
"Oh no, Myrtle is in front of me! Turn around quickly, I don't want to talk to a crying Myrtle."

"Why?" Ron asked.

"She stayed in the toilet in the girls' restroom on the second floor the whole time. Even if she were a ghost and couldn't smell, I still felt she was really smelly!"

Harry: "..."

Ron: "..."

Upon hearing Hermione's words, the two instinctively took a step back.

However, Harry quickly remembered that Myrtle was a victim from decades ago and might know some of the secrets of the Chamber of Secrets. So, despite his germaphobia, he forced himself to approach a ghost.

Myrtle died at the age of 14, and even now she still has the innocence of a child, a small body, and the figure of a young girl.

If it weren't for the fact that becoming a ghost in the wizarding world is unpredictable, many wizards yearning for immortality would likely choose to become ghosts, even with the severe side effects. Harry approached Myrtle, imbued his fingers with magic, and gently touched her sleeve. When she turned around, he smiled and asked:

"Hello Myrtle, I'm Harry Potter."

Myrtle turned her head and saw Harry. Her eyes lit up, especially when she saw that Harry could touch her. She stared at Harry intently and exclaimed excitedly:

"Hi Harry, I'm Myrtle, and I'm a big fan of yours! I really, really like you!"

“Thank you!” Harry said with a bright smile. “I have something I’d like to ask you. Um, could you tell me what you saw at the very end of your life?”

Hearing Harry's question, Myrtle's eyes lit up. She didn't refuse, and with a shy smile, she said to Harry:

"Of course, but I have one request."

"any request?"

"If you just kiss me, I'll tell you everything!"

Thinking of what Hermione had just said, and seeing Myrtle in front of him, Harry hated his own charm for the first time.

However, he still nodded stiffly and smiled:

"Of course, but we need to leave here and go to another classroom. I'm a little shy here."

Myrtle, unsuspecting, immediately nodded excitedly, licked her lips, and looked expectantly at Harry's lips:

"Hurry, hurry, I can't wait!"

When they arrived at another secluded underground classroom, Harry, of course, did not kiss Myrtle. Instead, he used illusion magic to create a scene in her mind that simulated being kissed by Harry.

Harry then learned about the Chamber of Secrets from Myrtle.

In her dying moments, she saw a pair of bright, malevolent eyes before losing all consciousness.

Based on this, it can be concluded that the creature that killed Myrtle was definitely not Hagrid's pet spider, but a basilisk.

After all, even though the eight-eyed spider is huge when it grows up, it is only about one meter in size when it is young.

These can hardly be called huge eyes!
Afterwards, Harry met with a group of dead people at Nick's enthusiastic invitation, which greatly boosted Nick's prestige.

……

Time passed quickly, and after Christmas, Harry was still searching for the Basilisk, but to no avail.

However, aside from the hidden basilisk, Harry's research into the chat group has yielded tremendous close combat results.

After questioning Dumbledore, he learned that Dumbledore had not destroyed the Philosopher's Stone.

According to him:

"Ever since I learned of the existence of terrifying monsters like Dimensional Demons, I guessed that the great alchemical creation, the Philosopher's Stone, would come in handy at some point. Look at this now, isn't it?"

Thinking of Dumbledore's mischievous wink at him at the end, Harry shook his head and chuckled. Could it be that even powerful figures like the Ancient One and Dumbledore have occasional childlike moments?

Fortunately, the Philosopher's Stone was still intact, which allowed Harry to build the prototype of a chat group.

On the eighth floor, in the Room of Requirement, Harry looked at a strange magical artifact in front of him.

Its general shape is a square Rubik's Cube, with the outer edge made of the Potter family's invisibility cloak, and the inside is centered around the Philosopher's Stone.

Harry took a deep breath and activated the square cube, causing a large number of intricate runes to appear on it and connect with Hedwig.

Then, a projection screen popped up in front of Harry, displaying a standard chat group template.

Harry's mind stirred, and he typed a single word:

Harry: 1
A moment later, Audrey was the first to respond.

Audrey: Wow, Harry, is this the chat group you were talking about? It's amazing!
At that moment, Nami also saw the chat panel that suddenly appeared in front of her and immediately tried to type.

Nami: Yes, that's amazing! Hello Audrey, I've heard about you from Harry. My name is Nami, and I'm Harry's lender in another world!
Audrey: Hello Nami, I'm Audrey from the Potions world. And you?

Nami: I come from the world of One Piece!

……

Harry watched his two "leeks" (victims) chatting with a smile. After a while, he raised his hand and gently tapped to close the chat group.

Currently, the chat group lacks a stable energy source and relies on him to continuously supply magic to maintain its operation.

Harry guessed that ancient magic might be able to power the chat group in his place.

After all, ancient magic is a higher quality magic than ordinary magic in the wizarding world!
After a flurry of activity, Harry successfully completed his first experiment of powering the chat group with ancient magic.

He then left the Room of Requirement satisfied and returned to the Gryffindor common room.

However, just as he reached the seventh floor, he suddenly heard the familiar hissing sound again!

However, unlike last time, he has now completely deciphered the Parseltongue, and therefore can understand all the contents of these Parseltongue languages!
