With each spell cast, Harry's System awarded him points. The Defence Against the Dark Arts spells garnered him a total of 40 points, while the Charms spells added another 65 points to his tally. Together with the 5 points from the successful brewing of the Cure for Boils potion, Harry had amassed a total of 110 points, adding the points he had, he now had 175 points. He took a moment to appreciate the progress he had made, a journey that started with basic knowledge and led to a refined skill set in these two crucial areas of magic.

Harry's achievements were not lost on Nigel, whose voice chimed in with a mix of encouragement and its usual sense of humor. "Well done, Master Harry. You've certainly outdone yourself. But remember, the journey of magic is endless. There's always more to learn and master."

Harry rolled his eyes at the magical mentor in his mind, although he knew Nigel was right. "Indeed, Nigel. And I'm just getting started."

Harry, feeling invigorated by his recent accomplishments in spellcasting and potion-making, called upon Nigel in his mind. "Nigel, show me some useful spells, please. I want to learn a few more." He specifically requested to see spells he hadn't mastered yet, and as if on cue, a virtual screen materialized in front of him, listing the new spells along with their point costs in the System.

Harry perused the list of new spells and their point costs with a thoughtful expression. His recent accumulation of points in the System presented him with a tantalizing array of magical possibilities. Each spell on the list represented not just a new skill to master but a step closer to becoming a more formidable and versatile wizard. He had 175 points to spend, a substantial amount, yet he knew he needed to choose wisely.

"Choices, choices," he mumbled, considering which spells would be most beneficial. His eyes scanned the list, lingering on each spell as he weighed its utility and the challenge it presented.

Nigel's voice emerged in his mind. "Quite the shopping list you've got there, Master Harry. Planning to become a one-man magical army, are we?"

Harry couldn't help but chuckle. Nigel's tone ever helpful, had a way of grounding him, reminding him not to get too carried away. "Well, Nigel, I've got to be prepared for anything, don't I? Hogwarts won't know what hit it."

"Indeed," Nigel replied, his tone laced with a hint of amusement. "Just be sure not to bite off more than you can chew. Remember, mastering a spell takes more than just reading about it."

Harry nodded, knowing Nigel was right. He decided to focus on spells that would offer immediate practical benefits and contribute to his defense and magical knowledge. After some contemplation, he made his selections.

"Let's go with the Disarming Charm from Charms. It's a dual-purpose spell, useful in both defense and dueling," Harry decided, deducting 30 points for the purchase.

Harry tapped his chin thoughtfully, considering his next choice from the list Nigel provided. "The Freezing Charm seems quite useful," he mused, deducting another 25 points. This spell, he figured, could be instrumental in various situations, from stopping objects in motion to creating temporary obstacles.

"Now, for Transfiguration," Harry said, his eyes scanning the options. "The Avifors Spell could be handy." He remembered reading about it – a spell that transformed small objects into birds. It wasn't just the transformation aspect that intrigued him but the potential for understanding deeper principles of Transfiguration. He spent 15 points on acquiring it.

He looked at the Defence Against the Dark Arts spells. "The Full Body-Bind Curse seems like a powerful defensive tool," he decided, spending 40 points. The idea of completely immobilizing an opponent, especially in a dangerous situation, was too valuable to pass up.

Having spent a total of 110 points, Harry still had 60 points left. He decided to save these for future use, knowing that his magical journey was just beginning, and more opportunities would arise to expand his repertoire.

Nigel, observing Harry's choices, commented, "A prudent selection, Master Harry. A balanced approach to your magical education – spells and transfigurations. You're covering all bases."

Harry nodded, feeling a sense of satisfaction with his selections. He understood that each new spell brought with it a responsibility to learn and practice diligently. "Time to get to work then," he said with a determined smile.

Entering the Virtual Potion Crafting Room once again, Harry was greeted by the familiar sight of the space where he had previously tested his spells on virtual versions of Vernon and Dudley. He couldn't help but smile at the memory of their comical discomfort, satisfying retribution for their years of mistreatment.

"I can always find more potion recipes by just reading and copying books into the System's Library," Harry thought aloud. "But quickly learning spells is better." The convenience of the System integrating new spells directly into his being, starting him off with initial mastery, was far more efficient than traditional learning methods.

"Nigel, please create my uncle and cousin again," Harry requested, eager to test his newly acquired spells.

The air in the Virtual Room shimmered as Nigel, the AI assistant, obliged. Soon, the familiar figures of Vernon and Dudley appeared, looking as unpleasant and disdainful as their real-life counterparts. Yet, there was something comically different about them this time: they were both clad in absurdly colorful and mismatched clothes, wielding swords that seemed far too grandiose for their mundane appearances.

Harry chuckled at the sight. "Well, this should be interesting," he remarked, amused by Nigel's choice of attire for the duo. It was as if they had been plucked from a medieval fair and dropped into the Virtual Room.

"How should I start?" Harry mused, eyeing the virtual representations of his relatives.

Nigel's response came with a hint of his characteristic sarcasm. "I thought giving them some semblance of a fighting chance might be entertaining. Swords seemed fittingly ridiculous."

Harry nodded, amused by Nigel's imagination. "Let's start with the Disarming Charm," he decided, focusing on the spell he had just acquired. Pointing his finger at Vernon, he visualized the spell's effect. "Expelliarmus!" he exclaimed, and with a flick of his wrist, the sword flew out of Vernon's hand, clattering across the virtual floor.

Encouraged by his success, Harry turned his attention to Dudley. "And now for you," he said, casting the same spell. Dudley's sword similarly flew out of his hand, leaving him looking bewildered and defenseless.

"Next, the Freezing Charm," Harry said, aiming at Vernon. "Immobulus!" The spell took immediate effect, freezing Vernon in place, his expression frozen in a comical grimace.

Dudley, seeing his virtual father immobilized, attempted to flee, but Harry was quick to act. "Immobulus!" he repeated, and Dudley too was frozen, mid-stride.

Satisfied with the effectiveness of the Freezing Charm, Harry contemplated his next move. "Time for something a bit different," he mused. "Let's see how they handle the Avifors Spell." With a wave of his hand, he cast the spell, and to his delight, Vernon's colorful clothing transformed into a flock of small, chirping birds that fluttered around the room before vanishing. Dudley's attire followed suit, leaving virtual Dudley looking baffled and slightly embarrassed in his suddenly plain undergarments.

Harry couldn't help but laugh at the scene. "Now, for the finale," he declared. Focusing on the Full Body-Bind Curse, he pointed at the still immobile figures of Vernon and Dudley. "Petrificus Totalus!" he exclaimed, and though they were already immobilized by the Freezing Charm, the additional spell seemed to reinforce their helpless state.
