Soon after Cedric's departure, Cho Chang of Ravenclaw made her way to Harry's table, her eyes shining with a mixture of curiosity and something else that Harry couldn't quite place. "Potter, that book you sent me was fascinating. I had no idea Muggles could be so imaginative," she said, her voice tinged with excitement.

"It's one of my favorites," Harry replied. "I thought you might enjoy a glimpse into their world."

Nigel whispered in his mind, "Beware, Master Harry. The way to a witch's heart is often through a well-chosen book. Or so I've heard."

Harry, ignoring Nigel's teasing, smiled at Cho, pleased that she appreciated the gesture. Following Cho's departure, Parvati Patil approached, with Lavender Brown trailing slightly behind. Their expressions were a mix of curiosity and excitement, though Lavender's demeanor was somewhat reserved, perhaps due to Harry's association with Slytherin.

"Potter, the scarf you gave me was lovely," Parvati began, her eyes bright. "The colors were perfect. How did you know?"

Harry chuckled lightly, "Just a lucky guess. I'm glad you liked it."

Lavender, maintaining a polite distance, added, "Yes, the earrings were nice too. Thank you." Her tone was appreciative, though she seemed uneasy being at the Slytherin table.

Nigel, sensing an opportunity, whispered teasingly in Harry's mind, "Seems you're quite the gift-giver, Master Harry. A regular Father Christmas, minus the beard and belly."

Harry, stifling a laugh at Nigel's comment, addressed Parvati, "Thank you, Ladies. It's just a small token of friendship."

Padma Patil joined them next, her gratitude for the thoughtful journal Harry had sent her evident in her warm smile. "It's beautiful, Potter. The cover's design is enchanting. I've already started writing in it."

Recognizing the complexity of Selena's work, Harry knew he was somewhat out of his league. While he had a keen interest and had even dabbled in the theoretical aspects of spell creation, his explorations were more experimental and intuitive rather than based on the deep mathematical and theoretical foundation that Selena was using. He had come across similar schematics in his readings — a less detailed version of the Impervius Charm in one of the books from the Hogwarts library. Still, the depth of Selena's analysis was on another level entirely.

"That's really impressive, Ms. Rosier," Harry said, his admiration genuine. "I've tried my hand at modifying a few simpler spells, but nothing as complex as this. The theoretical foundation alone looks daunting."

Selena, now fully recovered from her initial surprise, smiled at Harry's compliment. "Thank you, Potter. It's challenging, yes, but also incredibly rewarding. Each spell has its own unique structure, like a puzzle waiting to be solved. And when you finally crack it, the possibilities are endless."

Harry nodded thoughtfully. "I can see the appeal. It's like crafting your own magic, in a way. Creating something new, or even just understanding an existing spell on such a deep level, must feel amazing."

As Harry listened to Selena's passionate explanation about the potential of spell creation, an idea sparked in his mind, lighting up his thoughts like a well-cast Lumos spell. "Nigel, how could I have overlooked this?" he mused silently, his thoughts racing. "Here I am, trying to carve out new magical avenues using the languages of magical creatures, feeling my way through the darkness, and I completely missed the underlying science of it all."

He was so engrossed in this sudden realization that he nearly missed Selena's next words. "It truly does," she was saying, her eyes alight with the thrill of discovery. "And it's not just about creating or tweaking spells. It's about expanding our understanding of magic itself, pushing beyond the boundaries of what we've accepted as possible."

Harry, now fully present, nodded, his mind still buzzing with the implications of his epiphany. "Exactly," he agreed. "It's like opening new doors, isn't it? Each discovery leads to more questions, more possibilities. It's an endless journey."

Selena smiled at Harry's enthusiasm. "Yes, an endless and fascinating journey. Every spell, every modification, brings us closer to understanding the true nature of magic."
