Harry then started to think, "I don't have enough points to buy another spell. I need to think of other methods." With a determined look, he entered the library in the Technology System and began his research. He searched for books related to sleep, dreams, REM cycles, and everything in between, immersing himself in the vast ocean of knowledge the system offered.
As he read, Harry discovered fascinating insights about the nature of sleep and dreams. He learned about the different stages of sleep, the role of REM in processing emotions and memories, and the theories behind why we dream. This was more than just academic curiosity for Harry; it was a mission to understand the human psyche at a deeper level.
Nigel's voice, always a source of dry humor and sharp intellect, resonated in Harry's mind. "Master Harry, diving into the world of dreams, are we? Quite the Freudian endeavor, if I may say so. Just remember, the mind is a labyrinth, and dreams are its most intricate corridors."
Harry nodded, absorbing Nigel's words. He knew that manipulating dreams was a complex and delicate art, one that required finesse and a deep understanding of the human mind. "I need to alter her dreams. That is my best bet," Harry thought, forming a strategy to subtly influence Aunt Petunia's subconscious.
He selected a book titled "The Enchanted Dreamscape: Navigating the Subconscious Mind" and began to read. The text was dense, filled with complex theories on the formation of dreams, the stages of sleep, and the magical manipulation of dreamscapes. Harry absorbed the information, his mind racing with the implications and possibilities.
Harry focused on the chapters discussing REM sleep, the stage where dreams were most vivid and malleable. He learned about dream symbols, the subconscious mind's language, and techniques to subtly influence the narrative of dreams. It was a realm where imagination and reality blurred, a realm that offered endless possibilities.
Harry then realized something pivotal in his journey towards mastering the subtle arts of the mind. "Legilimency is a lot like altering the dreamscape," he mused aloud, connecting the dots between the two complex practices. Nigel, ever the observant and insightful companion, was quick to respond, his voice tinged with a mix of pride and wisdom.
"That is because it is so, Master Harry. Legilimency alters the mindscape, while the dreamscape is easier to manipulate, being more fluid and receptive. It's akin to the difference between painting with a brush on an empty canvas and drawing on a computer with assistance. Both require skill, but the latter offers more tools and possibilities for refinement."
Harry's eyes sparkled with understanding and excitement. "Then if I can master this, I can learn Legilimency much easier," he concluded, eager to delve deeper into this newfound knowledge.
Nigel hummed in approval, his tone reflecting a sense of satisfaction. "Correct, Master Harry. The journey into the mindscape is intricate and requires patience and finesse. It will be a challenging endeavor, but I have no doubt in your capabilities."
Emboldened by Nigel's encouragement, Harry picked up another book on the REM cycle, immersing himself in its contents. The book detailed the intricacies of the sleep cycle, emphasizing the importance of the REM stage in dream formation and subconscious processing. It explained how the REM stage was the playground of the mind, where emotions, memories, and desires intermingled to create the vivid tapestry of dreams.
Harry's mind worked overtime, synthesizing the information and formulating a strategy to subtly influence Aunt Petunia's dreamscape. He understood that this approach required a delicate balance - too overt, and it could cause resistance or fear; too subtle, and it might go unnoticed. His goal was to gently steer her subconscious towards a more favorable perception of magic, to soften her long-held resentments and fears.
As Harry delved deeper into his studies, Nigel's voice was a constant source of guidance, peppered with his characteristic wit and sarcasm. "Remember, Master Harry, the mind is a fortress. Your approach should be that of a skilled diplomat, not a battering ram."
Harry then analyzed his plan with a critical eye, scrutinizing every detail and possibility. "I can use sound, vision, and smell to awaken the idea in Aunt Petunia's mind. I will go to Diagon Alley one more time to gather some of the food or items unique to there. Smell is one of the strongest triggers for memory. Then I can plant subtle images. They cannot be too obvious. Maybe a badly drawn picture that looks like Diagon Alley but, upon closer inspection, has nothing to do with it. And when she finally sleeps, I will use the Muffliato spell on her."
Nigel, observing Harry's thoughts, interjected with his usual blend of sagacity and sarcasm. "Master Harry, remember, the human mind is not a canvas to be painted upon at will. It requires a more nuanced approach."
Harry nodded, taking in Nigel's words. He understood the complexity of what he was attempting. Influencing someone's subconscious was a delicate art, one that required a deep understanding of the human psyche. "But how do I make her resonate with the idea of magic without making it obvious?" Harry wondered aloud.
Nigel's response was a mix of encouragement and caution. "It's like walking a tightrope, Master Harry. You must balance subtlety with effectiveness. Your tactics must be cleverly disguised, woven into the fabric of everyday life so seamlessly that they escape conscious detection."
Harry thought about Nigel's advice. He needed a plan that was both intricate and unobtrusive. He decided to start with something simple – bringing items from Diagon Alley that were unique but not overtly magical. Things that would pique Aunt Petunia's curiosity without alarming her.
"The key is in the details," Nigel mused. "A whiff of an exotic scent, a glimpse of a peculiar object. These small things can plant seeds of wonder in the most skeptical of minds."
Harry opened a notebook in the Technology System, meticulously writing down his multi-step plan. His first objective was to purchase ice cream and non-magical chocolates from Diagon Alley. These items, he hoped, would stir dormant memories in Aunt Petunia, especially if she had tasted them during her past visits. Understanding the traditional nature of Magical Britain, Harry was confident that the recipes and flavors would remain unchanged over the years, serving as a nostalgic trigger.
Next on his list was the drawing. Harry envisioned creating a 3D image that, from one angle, resembled Diagon Alley, but when viewed directly, appeared as something entirely different. It was a challenging task, but with the aid of the Technology System and a few deducted points, Nigel conjured the image Harry needed to replicate. This drawing was a clever deception, a visual riddle that would subtly implant the image of Diagon Alley into Petunia's subconscious, making her believe it was a figment of her own imagination.
The third and most crucial part of his plan involved the use of the Muffliato spell on Aunt Petunia while she slept. This would ensure complete silence around her, allowing Harry to subtly influence her dreams without any external disturbances. It was a bold move, one that required precision and a deep understanding of the subconscious mind.
With the plan laid out in front of him, Harry sat on his bed, deep in thought about the intricacies of the drawing. It had to be perfect – a visual trick that would captivate Petunia's attention, leading her mind down a path filled with hints of magic and wonder. The drawing, when viewed at a specific angle, showed the bustling streets of Diagon Alley, the shops and wizards vividly brought to life in stunning detail. However, when Petunia would hold the paper, the image would transform into a quaint English town, its magic cleverly concealed.
Nigel's voice, tinged with his characteristic wit, resonated in Harry's mind. "A masterful illusion, Master Harry. It's like creating a Portkey that only works when viewed from the right perspective. Clever indeed."
Harry smiled, acknowledging Nigel's approval. He knew the formation of the mindscape was a lengthy and complex process, one that required patience and subtlety. He couldn't rush it; every step had to be carefully calculated to ensure success.
Over the next few weeks, Harry implemented his plan with meticulous care. He started by bringing the ice cream and chocolates from Diagon Alley, casually offering them to Aunt Petunia during meals. He watched her closely, noting her reactions. At first, she was indifferent, but gradually, Harry noticed a change. A flicker of recognition crossed her face, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes. It was working.
The drawing was the next step. Harry placed it strategically in the living room, ensuring it caught Petunia's attention. He observed her from a distance, noting how she squinted at the image, her curiosity piqued. When she finally picked up the paper, the magic of the 3D drawing took effect. The bustling streets of Diagon Alley seamlessly transformed into a quaint English town. Petunia's expression was one of confusion and intrigue, exactly what Harry had hoped for.
Each night, Harry cast Muffliato on Aunt Petunia as she slept. He knew the influence he exerted on her dreams was subtle, planting seeds of wonder and curiosity about the magical world. He crafted dreamscapes that were enchanting yet ambiguous, leaving room for her own imagination to fill in the gaps.
