Marvel's Magic Master: I Have a Clone in the Harry Potter World!

The sudden halt of the Quidditch match, coupled with Dumbledore and the professors leaving in a hurry, signaled that something serious had occurred.

The young wizards speculated wildly, suspecting it had something to do with George and Hermione's dramatic arrival from the sky. However, with Professor McGonagall standing guard, none could directly question the duo.

Had McGonagall not been there, George and Hermione would undoubtedly have been swarmed by curious students. Despite her presence, speculation spread like wildfire.

The hottest topic of discussion was George's ability to grow wings and fly. Was it some new magic he'd learned, or did he possess a wizarding bloodline related to birds?

Two hours later, McGonagall finally allowed the prefects of each house to escort the students back to their common rooms.

As it turned out, Dumbledore and the other professors had not found the basilisk within the castle but had discovered traces of its attacks and corroborating accounts from the portraits. They deduced that the basilisk had likely returned to the Chamber of Secrets.

"George, Hermione, come with me!"

Once the students were safely back in their common rooms, McGonagall personally escorted George and Hermione to Dumbledore's office.

"Should we mention Harry and the diary?" Hermione asked quietly on the way.

Harry's ability to hear the basilisk's whispers and the diary's connection to Tom Riddle were his secrets, ones he wasn't ready to share with the professors yet. Hermione hesitated, unsure whether to reveal them if pressed.

After some thought, George whispered, "Let's not bring it up for now. We'll talk to Harry first and see what he thinks.

As long as we've proven that the Chamber of Secrets' monster is the basilisk and not the acromantula, Hagrid won't be suspected of being the Heir of Slytherin or Myrtle's killer."

George was cautious about revealing too much. If the professors discovered the Chamber's entrance and dealt with the basilisk ahead of schedule, his plans would be ruined.

He needed Dumbledore to leave the school temporarily, even if only for a day, so he could access the Restricted Section and commit the most powerful Dark Magic spells to memory.

"Alright, I understand," Hermione agreed. She also felt it was essential to consult Harry before divulging anything further.

At the gargoyle statue on the eighth floor, McGonagall spoke the password, "Lemon Sherbet!"

The grotesque stone creature sprang to life and moved aside, revealing a crack in the wall. Behind it, a spiraling staircase slowly rotated upward like an escalator.

"Follow me."

George and Hermione stepped onto the moving staircase behind McGonagall. It swiftly carried them up to an oak door with a brass knocker shaped like a griffin.

As McGonagall pushed open the gleaming door, Dumbledore's office was revealed to George.

The spacious, beautifully adorned circular room buzzed softly with various odd noises.

On slender-legged tables stood many strange silver instruments, whirring and emitting wisps of smoke. The walls were lined with portraits of past headmasters and headmistresses, some snoring gently in their frames.

On a golden perch stood Fawkes, Dumbledore's phoenix, its scarlet and gold feathers shining brilliantly. On a nearby shelf sat the Sorting Hat, old and crumpled, yet imbued with history.

George had been here before when signing his contract with the England Quidditch team, even taking a photo with Dumbledore.

At the desk, Dumbledore and Snape were deep in conversation. Other professors were absent, likely stationed around the castle to prevent another basilisk attack.

"Headmaster, George and Miss Granger are here," McGonagall announced, interrupting their discussion. Both men turned to look at the students.

"Please, sit down," Dumbledore said warmly, gesturing to the sofas by the fireplace. As a house-elf brought two glasses of juice, Dumbledore added, "Could you recount your encounter with the basilisk in detail?"

George accepted the juice and calmly began his narrative.

He omitted Hermione's discovery of clues about the basilisk, instead stating that she had come to invite him to watch the Quidditch match. They left the library together and were attacked by the basilisk on the way.

He described how he used the Sectumsempra spell Snape had taught him to fend off the basilisk and escaped with Hermione.

"I always thought it was a bit early for Severus to teach you such a dangerous spell," Dumbledore remarked thoughtfully. "But it seems I was mistaken. You handled the situation admirably. However, where did you learn that flying spell?"

Dumbledore was aware that Snape had taught George Sectumsempra, but Snape had made no mention of flying magic. Furthermore, George's method of flight was entirely different from Snape's or Voldemort's.

While Voldemort's flight spell turned the caster into a shadowy blur moving at high speed, George's wings physically manifested, allowing him to fly like a bird.

Standing up, George activated his "Wing" magic. A pair of pristine white wings materialized on his back, shimmering with magical energy.

"This is a new magic I created on a whim," George explained confidently. "I call it Wing Magic. It allows me to conjure wings and fly like a bird."

The magical systems of the Harry Potter world and Fairy Tail had their differences, but George had realized they weren't entirely incompatible.

Through studying the foundational principles of both, he hypothesized that Fairy Tail's magic could enhance Harry Potter's magic with wands amplifying power, while Harry Potter's methods could streamline Fairy Tail's, eliminating the need for incantations.

Though his current magic capabilities couldn't fully achieve this, his theoretical explanation was compelling.

After George demonstrated "Wing" magic and explained its partial principles using this world's magical framework, Dumbledore, Snape, and McGonagall were convinced.

As legendary and highly skilled wizards, they recognized the originality and potential of George's spell. Its underlying theory, though novel, was plausible and undeniably unique.
