Dumbledore took one of the books and began to inspect it. Since Snape had already performed the binding ritual, Dumbledore knew this wasn't dangerous magic, but he still wanted to examine it first. Professor McGonagall waited patiently, trusting Dumbledore's judgment. The Headmaster carefully observed how the book worked. He could see that it was reading the surface thoughts of the owner, not intruding deeply into the mind. The enchantment was quite brilliant. He knew Lupin and Flitwick had enchanted them, but the idea was Harry's.

He realized the book was designed to access surface thoughts and scan the body, learning what its owner wanted it to learn. Additionally, it could discern truth from lies. If the owner claimed they knew a spell but didn't, the spell wouldn't appear in the book.

"How did he manage this?" Dumbledore mused to himself. A voice in his mind responded, "It is Intentus Revelio."

Dumbledore's eyes twinkled with recognition. "Of course, that spell. Harry used it last year during the Easter Egg Hunt. Later, I learned it from him and used it on the Mirror of Erised. Those were good times."

The book was able to discern the truth based on emotions. If the emotions were not sincere, it understood it was a lie and didn't add the false information to the list. "Brilliant," Dumbledore muttered under his breath.

McGonagall, noticing Dumbledore's satisfied expression, asked, "Is everything in order, Albus?"

Dumbledore nodded, handing another book to her. "Yes, Minerva, it's quite a remarkable piece of work. A very clever enchantment indeed. Harry's ingenuity never ceases to amaze me."

McGonagall took the book, her eyes widening slightly as she inspected it. "This is impressive. The enchantment is delicate yet thorough."

Snape, who had been quietly examining his own book, finally spoke up. "It seems you have outdone yourself, Potter. This will certainly aid in the students' progress." His tone was begrudgingly complimentary, but it was clear he was impressed. Among all the students, Harry was the only one who could be praised by him. Other students got used to it by now, although it was surprising each time.

Harry smiled, relieved that his idea was well-received. "I'm glad you think so, Professor."

The room buzzed with excitement as students continued to explore their new books, chatting animatedly about the possibilities.

As the students settled into their seats, Dumbledore addressed the room once more. "Students, you now have a valuable tool at your disposal. Use it wisely and let it guide you in your magical education. Remember, learning is a lifelong journey, and these books are here to aid you along the way."

As the students examined their books, Flitwick and Lupin prepared the various challenge stations around the room. Each station offered a different aspect of dueling practice, from accuracy and speed to defensive spells and physical agility.

"Alright, everyone," Lupin called out. "You are free to explore the challenges at your own pace. Remember, this is a learning experience, so don't be afraid to make mistakes."

The students eagerly dispersed, trying out the different challenges. As the evening progressed, the students grew more confident in their abilities. They tackled the challenges with enthusiasm, pushing themselves to improve with each attempt. Harry, Flitwick, and Lupin continued to circulate, providing guidance and support.

Soon, duels started as well. Neville and Hermione, two lions wanted to bout first. The duel was intense but friendly, with both students showcasing the skills they had learned. Hermione's precision and Neville's growing confidence impressed everyone. In the end, Hermione won, but Neville's performance earned him hearty applause.

As the session wrapped up, the students were buzzing with excitement and a sense of accomplishment. Flitwick and Lupin looked on with satisfaction, knowing that the Duelling Club was in good hands.

Harry addressed the group one last time. "Thank you all for your hard work today. Keep practicing, and we'll continue to improve together. See you at the next session!"

The students dispersed, chatting animatedly about their experiences and plans for future practice. Once everyone left, Harry remained alone in the room. Just before the door was closed, Dumbledore leaned in and said, "Harry, my boy, although we gave you more liberty, try not to stay outside too late."

Harry nodded and replied, "I will return right now, Headmaster. Thank you."

When Dumbledore left, his smile dropped. He walked to the back door of the Duelling Club and clicked at the table; soon a book appeared.

"Master Harry, despite being some time since we are together, your calculative mind still scares me," Nigel said as Harry opened the book.
