Hogwarts: From Luna's House to Godhood Through Intense Competition

Fred chuckled and explained, "That's the ghoul banging on something. It likes to do that whenever the house gets too quiet!"

George laughed too, "Actually, it happens in the middle of the night too... hehe!"

Wizette was actually aware of how much of a clown the twins were.

He glanced up to the highest point and asked tentatively, "They even bang pipes at night... Does Ron live with ghouls?"

Fred shook his head and said confidently, "Tsk tsk tsk... I guessed it right away."

George added, "They didn't exactly live together. Ron lived on the sixth floor, and the ghoul lived in the attic above that."

……

Vizette and her group bypassed the Burrow and went into a small garage next door.

In the dimly lit garage, Vizet saw something utterly unmagical—a light green Ford sedan.

He wasn't familiar with car models, but he could tell it was a Ford sedan because of the Ford logo on the front.

Vizette suddenly remembered that he had seen this car appear in a fan-made clip of Harry Potter.

However, the scene was quite tragic. The car crashed into the Whomping Willow at Hogwarts and was subsequently beaten up by the Whomping Willow.

Regardless, the fact that this Ford sedan can fly is still quite magical.

Luna was very curious about the small garage, so she put her hands behind her back and toured it with great interest.

"You scared me to death! I thought it was Mom!" Ron poked his head out from under the car, propping himself up on his arms. "Vizet! Long time no see!"

"Long time no see." Vizette smiled slightly, noticing Ron constantly brushing the dust off his clothes. "You're all cleaned up!"

Ron opened his arms to make sure all the dust was gone, then smiled and thanked him, "Hehe! Thanks!"

After helping to clean the dust, Vizette asked, "Are you also planning a trip? Is there anything I can help you with?"

“Of course not, we have more important things to do!” Fred shook his head and said.

"And it was Ron who suggested it!" George pinched his nose and snorted as if blowing his nose.

He said in a choked voice, "Oh! Our little brother has finally grown up! He can come up with amazing ideas!"

After speaking, George turned to look at Ron beside him.

Ron felt his brothers' gazes, and a blush spread from the base of his ears.

He coughed lightly, his expression turning serious, "I know something very serious! Harry seems to have vanished into thin air!"

“We haven’t been able to contact him since summer vacation! He hasn’t replied to a single letter! I sent him twelve letters! And he hasn’t answered a single one!”

At Hogwarts, Ron and Harry were inseparable best friends, so this situation is quite unusual.

Ron's tone grew increasingly worried, causing Vizet to frown slightly. "Are they really that strict?"

On the train, Harry talked about his experiences, saying that the two relatives who adopted him treated him very badly.

Ron shrugged. "We don't really know the specifics... but Harry is definitely not doing well right now!"

"That's why we came here, intending to check the car. Then we'll drive over tonight to find him and bring him here first!"

Chapter 44 The Plan to Knowingly Break the Law

“Vizet, don’t underestimate this car!” George patted the car window. “This car can fly!”

“And he has illusion magic! He can fly without being detected!” Fred continued. “Dad’s a genius! It’s a shame he works in the office that prohibits the misuse of Muggle gadgets.”

The main job of the Office for the Prevention of the Misuse of Muggle Goods is to prevent wizards from using magic to modify Muggle items.

If such behavior is discovered, the relevant magical items must be confiscated immediately, and the wizards involved must be punished.

When Xenophilius was in Sweden, he mentioned that the department that dealt with those wizards' pleasure crimes was the Office for Prohibiting the Misuse of Muggle Products.

The three brothers talked at once, outlining their general plan based on the Ford car's ability to fly.

This is a very Gryffindor plan, not only whirlwind but also brimming with unwavering courage.

George asked, "What does our materials consultant think of this plan?"

Fred rubbed his hands together, then asked expectantly, "Do you have any suggestions? Would you like to come with us...?"

"Save Harry Potter!" the twins shouted in unison.

“Yes!” Ron added finally.

Seeing Fred and the others' eager expressions, Vizet felt that the plan was fraught with all sorts of unexpected events.

Thinking of this, he slowly said, "The plan looks good, but I have a few questions."

“You think the plan is good too, right?” Ron puffed out his chest, raising his eyebrows slightly. “Are there any parts you don’t understand?”

"As far as I know, Mr. Weasley isn't just any Ministry of Magic employee, but the head of the Office for Prohibiting the Misuse of Muggle Products, right?" Weizett asked.

When Xenophilius was riding the Muggle bus for the first time, he was pulled off the bus by Xenophilius, and he casually mentioned this incident.

“Yes!” Ron affirmed.

"The 'No Muggle Accessory' office is for items that have been enchanted. So, is there any risk in leaving this car in the garage?"

“Hehe! Dad told us that what he’s in charge of is ‘forbidding people from using magic on Muggle items with the intention of using them, so as to give these items additional functions.’”

“So everything will be fine! Because Dad doesn’t actually plan to take it out…” Ron’s voice trailed off, “It should be okay, right? We don’t need magic.”

"No magic? You just drive straight onto the highway?" Vizet asked again.

“Yeah! Driving is pretty simple, you just step on this…” Ron nodded, “I think this is called the accelerator? And then turn this… the steering wheel?”

"It's just not as convenient as a flying broom... We've all been figuring out this car today, and we've all learned how to drive it!"

As he spoke, he opened the car door to show where the accelerator and steering wheel were.

The car's interior was also modified by Arthur Weasley, making it more spacious and easier to drive, eliminating the need for a clutch and gear shifter.

After patiently watching Ron's gestures, Vizette slowly said, "There are age restrictions for driving in the Muggle world, just like first-year students can't bring flying brooms."

"There are police in the Muggle world, and their duties are similar to those of the Aurors. If you drive on the road, you are very likely to be pulled over by the police and asked to show your driver's license, which can be quite troublesome."

"There's a connection between the Muggle world and the Ministry of Magic. If you encounter something that Muggles can't understand, the Office for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Products might get involved. If Mr. Weasley sees you..."

This was the takeaway from Wizette's trip to Sweden; he discovered that the relationship between the Muggle world and the magical world was quite interesting and not as separate as he had imagined.

Compared to the descriptions in "A History of Magic," the connection between the two worlds is now much greater, which may be why many wizards recognize Gellert Grindelwald.

To expose the magical world to some extent and allow it to interact with the Muggle world, thereby increasing mutual understanding.

However, this understanding is still relatively superficial, and it will take more time before more significant changes occur.

Vizette's series of questions not only made Ron break out in a sweat, but also made Fred and George frown, noticing the flaws in his questions.

They wanted to save Harry, but didn't want to interfere with their father's work.

If we really encounter a police interception, Dad will come and bail us out...

No matter how you look at it, a lesson is inevitable, and it's more likely to be a mixed doubles attack by Arthur and Molly...

Thinking of this, Fred touched his buttocks and felt a dull ache on the left side.

Seeing the expressions on the Weasley brothers' faces, Weizett smiled slightly. "Mr. Weasley can modify cars, so he must know a lot about Muggles, right?"

“Ron, you could try telling Mr. Weasley about your concerns. He should be able to give you some helpful advice, right? Maybe he'll even come to pick Harry up himself?”

“Dad’s been busy these days…” Ron scratched his head and looked at Fred and the others. “What has Dad been busy with lately… I think it’s some kind of raid squad?”

His words made Fred and George's faces turn ugly.

Fred said, "Dad drafted a Muggle Protection Act, and to make the Ministry of Magic aware of its importance, he organized a raiding party."

George chimed in, "It seems to be working well lately. Dad even said his next target is the Malfoy family manor, where there are bound to be a lot of dark magic items!"

“That’s quite crucial,” Vizette murmured. “At such a critical moment, if something unexpected happens because of that car…”

"Especially since you're going to the Muggle neighborhood, if you cause a commotion, the Muggles will probably notice..."

“Things will become even more difficult to handle. If the Ministry of Magic holds Mr. Weasley accountable, all his efforts will probably be in vain.”

Fred nodded. "The Malfoy family must be overjoyed!"

George sighed deeply. "Dad will definitely be very sad!"

As the one who initiated the plan, Ron tentatively asked, "How about we talk to Dad tonight?"

"As expected of our trusted materials consultant!" the Weasley twins exclaimed in unison. "If things go wrong again this time, Mom will probably kill us, right?"

Fred reached up and touched his back with lingering fear. "At least I'll get a spanking!"

“That’s right!” George nodded knowingly. “Just like that unbreakable vow, Fred’s left buttock will never be the same again…”

Fred immediately retorted, "So what? Your right butt isn't the same size either! We'll each take half!"

"You still dare to talk!" Ron rolled his eyes at the two of them. "I was so young back then, I almost got fooled by you guys, and I might have even been killed by that magic!"

Vizette rubbed her temples. It was quite an achievement that Ron had grown up so well…

Chapter 45 The Ritual Magic of the Ancient Wizard

Among the souvenirs brought by Wezette were some prank props containing curses, which were also the "specialties" that the Weasley twins needed most.
