I blinked as I read through the expansive list of requirements that appeared in front of me. Parvati's requirements were unlike any I have ever seen. Most of the witches that I had interacted with, even someone as prude as Daphne, had a pretty lewd list, with multiple sexual acts needed to dominate her.

'Her list is entirely different. I can see the two paths clearly, but one of them is obscured, and the other is marred in mystery.'

I thought as I closed the window and looked at her. Her skin color and dark locks looked exotic, especially since I have spent most of my time with a lot of blonds till now.

'Need to look into Susan as well. She and Ginny would fulfill my redhead fantasies. Maybe Padma and Patil are both at the same time? Is there no chance of that happening? Maybe in one of those obscured paths?' I thought. The taboo nature of the thought made me want to attempt this a lot more. Just imagine both of them kneeling in front-

"Hey?" Daphne nudged me, interrupting my daydreams.

I looked at her, a little annoyed, "What?"

"You were staring," she pointed it out.

"I know... buzzkill," I teased her with my tongue out before I focused on the lecture. The Patil twins would be on my agenda, but not right now. For now, I need to see how the Halloween events will turn out. Not only did I have to deal with the core expansion ritual, but I also had to deal with the heirship ritual and the gala that the Greengrass family was throwing.

'The only way for the Malfoys to make a comeback is if they try to attack me at the Gala. If I'm out of commission on Halloween, then they can delay me claiming the heirship for another year.' I thought. I haven't actually focused on learning new magic for a while now.

'I guess I can understand why the wizards and witches are so lazy. With just some basic spells, I can do so much. And with enjoying such luxuries, no wonder they got complacent.'

I wasn't planning on being lazy with Voldemort's rise on the horizon, but between Evelyn, Pansy, and Narcissa, I am lagging behind.

'I don't need to focus on runes for now, as the diary has been taken care of. I should focus on wanded magic for a while until the gala. More defensive charms and maybe some offensive magic as well.'

"- Lu-mo-s, is the correct pronunciation. Now, everyone, say it together. Lumos." Flitwick called out as he began waving at everyone to try it together.

I followed the class in lazily speaking out loud, "Lumos~"

We sounded like a choir practicing for morning prayer as Flitwick nodded excitedly before he called out for us to do it again. The sound of Lumos repeated itself around the room as he nodded one final time, satisfied with the sound, it seemed.

"Good, now the wand movement of the Lumos charm is undefined. That term means that any wand movement would work with the Lumos charm. So, if you want to flick your wand, sweep it, or point it, anything will do. Now, everyone, grab your wands and focus on your intent. You want a bright, concentrated light at the tip of your wand." Flitwick represented.

While I was about to pick up my wand, my mana sense already pinged that someone had success. It seemed like I was the only one who was not interested in today's lecture, as by the time I was ready to cast the spell, everyone had made an attempt.

Most of them had been successful in their attempt, with the exception of a few who had a flickering light on the tip of their wand before it buzzed out. I was hit with a massive amount of information, and the different frequencies and colors of everyone's mana signature out in full display caused me to lose focus for a minute.

"Lumos~" I said aloud for Daphne's benefit; I didn't want to deal with the questions if I did the spelling wordlessly.

"Mr. Goyle, Mr. Crabbe. Please try again, and this time, focus your intent on casting a bright light." Flitwick said as he hopped down from his castle of books and walked over to the two of them in an attempt to teach them the spell.

"Nox~" I said, and the light got snuffed out.

'Yeah, this is boring... Requirement Analysis!'
