Harry Potter with Technology System

Flitwick's announcement held a depth beyond mere words. The decision to move Easter up was a strategic one, aiming to see if the camaraderie of old could be reignited within Hogwarts. Harry had set his sights on fostering this unity from the start. What remained a secret to all was that victory was an illusion from the beginning. Harry had orchestrated it so each house would find an equal number of eggs, leaving the final egg as the ultimate decider.

However, this elusive last egg was bound by a condition – it would remain hidden as long as thoughts of winning dominated any mind. Crafting such a charm was easier said than done, requiring him to seek Flitwick's expertise, yet together, they made it happen. Upon the students' return, Flitwick rose to commend Harry, "Mr. Potter came to me with this brilliant concept, utilizing charm to tie the appearance of an egg to one's thoughts was sheer genius."

Flitwick chuckled as he continued, "To think of using a charm to link the appearance of an egg to one's thoughts was quite clever. It hadn't crossed my mind before." As he said this, Dumbledore's eyes lit up as he looked at Harry with admiration. Then, in a manner that caught everyone by surprise, he stood up and quietly left the Great Hall. While others were taken aback by his sudden departure, they didn't dwell on it, knowing the Headmaster always had his reasons for doing things. "I congratulate you all. Given the success of this Easter Egg Hunt, it's clear we should make it a tradition," Flitwick announced to the room.

Harry watched Dumbledore's retreating figure, a small smile playing on his lips as he thought, "I guess I did light up a few bulbs." Nigel's laughter echoed in his mind, "Indeed, Master Harry."

Settling back into his chair, Harry surveyed the Great Hall, where the atmosphere was still vibrant from the day's excitement. Though his friends wore expressions of mock indignation at his antics, their eyes sparkled with joy. The giant egg, now center stage, was carefully opened by Professor Flitwick, who had summoned a table for the occasion. As the egg was cut, bursts of color in the four house hues filled the room, and the chocolate segments floated towards every student and faculty member, a sweet reward for their day's efforts.

Nigel's voice remarked in Harry's mind with a chuckle, "Master Harry, I must say, this has been your most brilliant plot to date." Harry couldn't help but laugh, feigning innocence, "I don't know what you're talking about, Nigel."

Nigel dismissed it with a huff, chuckling in that distinctly amused tone of his, "Excessive modesty is a rather unbecoming trait, Master Harry. Especially when one's been orchestrating Hogwarts' unity like a grand chess master moves his pawns."

He began his recount with a hint of amusement in his voice. "Over the last few months, you've ingeniously planted subliminal messages across Hogwarts. The finesse you gained practicing with Aunt Petunia before your first term here really shone through. These messages were so subtle, yet they managed to get the entire school talking about the Easter holidays. And in your Quidditch matches, you championed unity, weaving this theme into the fabric of your broader plan. You even went a step further by integrating auditory cues in Professor Flitwick and Sprout's classes, sparking conversations among the students and piquing the interest of the two professors most likely to support your initiative. Am I getting this right so far?"

Harry listened, a smile playing on his lips as he took in the description as the AI continued,  "But your scheme wasn't as simple as putting together a holiday event. There appears to be no direct benefit for you, which makes it all the more fascinating. You masterfully arranged for the faculty to be trapped in the Great Hall, giving the students free rein to explore. By placing some of the eggs near the forbidden third-floor corridor, you were testing whether its compelling zone worked for others like it did for you. Throughout the event, you kept a vigilant watch, either personally or through the mirror, to ensure that you didn't miss a thing. However, your grand plan encountered a hiccup when the professors vetoed the placement of an egg in that specific corridor. How dare they thwart the grand plans of the Great Harry Potter? Despite this, you ingeniously designed the hunt so that each house could only find 25 eggs, and the final egg, which you had a hand in crafting with a professor's assistance, could only be found through a collective effort. This act not only demonstrated your ingenuity but also solidified your status as an exemplar among your peers."

Harry chuckled in his mind, "Well, it worked out just fine, didn't it?" Nigel snorted in response, his tone laced with his usual sarcasm. "An understatement if ever there was one. The entire school buzzing about unity and collaboration thanks to a few well-placed eggs. You're turning into quite the puppet master, Master Harry."

After the festivities, as students dispersed to their respective common rooms, Harry, accompanied by Daphne and Tracey, couldn't help but laugh at their barrage of questions. "What was that charm? To think it can function like that!" Tracey exclaimed, her voice a mix of excitement and incredulity. Daphne, usually more composed, was visibly thrilled, "I can't believe you came up with something like that."

Harry merely smiled at their enthusiasm, a knowing look in his eyes. Before he could respond, their conversation was interrupted by Selena Rosier's approach. Recognized for her authority within Slytherin, her presence commanded attention. "I need a minute with Mr. Potter," she said, her tone leaving no room for argument. Daphne and Tracey, understanding the gravity of her request, nodded and stepped aside, leaving Harry to face Selena alone.

Selena, known as the Serpent of the Crown within Slytherin, carried an air of influence that even Snape couldn't ignore. As they walked side by side, she broke the silence, "Clever spell." Harry, amused by her acknowledgment, replied with a hint of jest, "To be praised by you, Ms. Rosier, is an honor indeed."

She smiled, a gesture that lit up her surroundings, "No need to flatter me, Mr. Potter. I am graduating in a few months." Harry's laughter echoed through the corridor, a sound filled with genuine amusement. "You, above all, should know that connections last a lifetime. I may need your assistance beyond Hogwarts."

Selena's smile remained, undimmed by Harry's pragmatic view. Despite her outward appearance, she knew Harry was much more than he let on. "So you admit you're just as selfish as the rest of us?" Harry feigned offense, "Of course! I am a Slytherin, after all." Her laughter, rich and unreserved, filled the corridor as they reached the common room entrance.

The wall parted at Selena's mere presence, a trick that amazed Harry. He had always used the brass snake to enter, but Selena required no such formality. Inside, she led him to her desk and offered him a seat across from her. "About that spell you and Flitwick concocted," she began, her curiosity evident.

Harry carefully unfolded the paper he had taken out of his pocket, revealing the words "Intentus Revelio" written in a neat script. Handing the parchment to Selena Rosier, he watched as she rolled the words around in her mouth, a look of curiosity painting her features. "I've never heard of this before," she confessed, her interest evident.

Harry nodded, a hint of pride in his voice. "It's an ancient charm I discovered in a book. 'Intentio Vinculum, Voluntas Revelo,' or in English, 'Bond of Intention, Will I Reveal.' It allows the caster to hide an object that can only be revealed under specific intentions. For the Easter egg hunt, the charm was set to unveil the egg only under conditions of unity, selflessness, and a genuine desire to find the egg not for the sake of winning points but for the joy of discovery itself."

Selena's gaze lingered on Harry, searching his face for any sign of deception. "Why are you sharing this with me so freely?" Her voice was steady, yet there was a softness to it that hadn't been there before.

Harry shrugged, the corner of his lips curling up into a slight smile. "You've been a help to me ever since I arrived at Hogwarts. It's only fair. Harry Potter always helps his friends in return."

A smile, rare and genuine, lit up Selena's face. "I thank you for this, Harry. This charm is both unique and powerful." Her eyes sparkled with a mix of appreciation and something else, perhaps respect.

"Well, I'll find you when I need to call in this favor, then," Harry quipped, matching her smile with one of his own.

Their laughter filled the air, a moment of genuine connection amidst the intrigue of Hogwarts. After a while longer of conversation, Harry excused himself, leaving Selena's company with a new sense of camaraderie between them.
