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

As Vizette pondered, she grabbed the last bit of magic powder and sprinkled it on the train wheels and steam, continuing to chant incantations.

The steam and wheels began to move slowly, and the blonde girl waved back and forth, creating an effect like a stop-motion animation.

Luna clapped her hands, her tone very happy, "This is much better, it feels even more like a magic painting."

“We need to add some sound.” Vizette smiled slightly. “Luna, you can say a few more words and leave them in this painting.”

He waved his wand, tracing an incomplete ellipse in the air. "Echo!"

This is magic from Grindelwald's Notebook. It doesn't have a specific name, but only the specific casting gestures, spell techniques, and incantations.

The effect of this magic is simple: it can leave sound in magical objects, so Vizette calls it the "recording spell".

In addition to demonstrating how to use the recording spell, Grindelwald also personally demonstrated it and even left Plato's Symposium in his notebook as a demonstration.

Grindelwald's voice is deep and magnetic. He speaks slowly and clearly, conveying a strong sense of self-confidence.

Vizette waved her wand and gently touched the blonde girl's spot, and a warm, emerald-green aura slowly emerged.

Luna leaned down and said to the blonde girl, "Dad, I'm at Hogwarts now. It's just as amazing as you said. Take good care of yourself at home!"

Wizette folded the drawing paper into a single piece, and the floating graphic slowly shrank, transforming back into a painting pattern as the paper was folded.

He tested it several times to ensure that the three-dimensional pattern could be reproduced every time he opened the drawing paper before handing it to Luna.

After saying goodbye to Luna, Vizette watched Luna return to her dorm before taking out her notebook to review the plans she had made during the summer vacation.

Studying and researching the Forgetfulness Charm, Professor McGonagall's Animagus, Professor Snape's private lessons, and Headmaster Dumbledore's armor magic...

“And the Guardian’s Chamber!” Vizette thought of Serena Pendragon’s letter.

Now that we're back at Hogwarts, this is the place we should visit first.

Being able to enter the Guardian's Chamber should allow one to obtain a considerable amount of ancient magical power.

……

Unable to resist their sleepiness, the students returned to their dormitories to sleep, leaving only Vizet in the common room.

Sensing the time was right, he left the common room and went down the spiral staircase of the tower into the corridor.

Hogwarts was rather deserted late at night. A few windows in the distance were open, and the wind howled through the corridors, like the whispers of ghosts.

In the magical world, Vizette has seen quite a few ghosts.

Mischievous sprites like Peeves are quite unique even in the magical world.

At the end of the corridor, Pikachu was pulling a suit of armor around wildly.

The armor creaked and groaned as it scraped against the ground, mingling with the squeaking laughter of the mischievous imp, creating a comical symphony.

The students returned to school, and Pippi was clearly very happy, not only making strange laughs but also singing a few off-key tunes.

"Don't be afraid of my appearance, the joy of mischief is boundless... The sound of the wind in the corridor is me secretly laughing, the turning of the pages in the library is me gently wandering..."

"Look at this ancient armor, I've made it dance... Don't let pressure rob you of your laughter. In this magical school, let's find moments of joy together..."

"Prepare your laughter, and prepare your screams... From the cellar to the tower, my laughter echoes, and in this ancient castle, the legend of Peeves lives on forever..."

The sound of dragging footsteps echoed down the corridor. The doorman, Filch, appeared in the corridor, hunched over and panting heavily, clearly having noticed Peeves' antics.

He glared at Mischief and yelled, "Mischief! Stop making noise in the hallway! Get out of here! Get far away from here!"

Peeves paused for a moment, then cackled at Filch, "Ah, it's you again... But Peeves' in a good mood today! Let my dance partner play with you!"

As he spoke, he began dismantling the armor, throwing the pieces one by one at Filch.

Filch, the doorman, and Peeves are old rivals and the biggest source of instability when visiting Hogwarts at night.

Now that the two were locked in combat, Vizet had fewer concerns and quickly ran towards the moving staircase, jumping down directly.

The Primal Force: Obscured State (Beginner)

As he fell, his eyes grew increasingly deep, as pure as black crystal, with countless black wisps swirling around him, granting him the ability to fly nimbly.

With the help of "Primal Power: Obscurity (Beginner)," Vizet no longer needs to outwit the moving stairs, saving a lot of time.

Following Serena Pendragon's directions, Vizette wandered down an unfamiliar corridor.

There were many portraits around who were still awake, and they would wave and greet him warmly when they saw him walking over.

Vizette smiled and nodded in response, finally turning into the end of a corridor where she saw a tall mahogany cabinet.

Several metal gear-shaped discs are inlaid on the cabinet, resembling some kind of giant clock, and patterns of the sun and stars can be seen.

“This is it…” Vizet took out his wand, pressed it against one of the metal discs, and moved one of the pointers on it.

He muttered a spell in a low voice: "Our time is etched here..."

As soon as he finished speaking, accompanied by a series of clicking sounds, the gears on the metal disc began to turn, transforming into a metal door that slowly popped open.

Inside was a dimly lit staircase that stretched downwards, its destination unknown.

Ancient Magic: Self-Shaping (Devil's Web)

Instead of casting a magical illumination spell, Vizette transformed the fingers of her left hand into a devil's net before stepping into it and closing the metal door.

He cast his magic eye, gripping his wand tightly in his right hand.

Make sure you are always ready to cast the modified Lights Out Spell at the first opportunity, creating a dark magical energy field.

His experience in the mirror world last time told him that this territory belonging to the guardians might contain some kind of test or trial.

To ensure classes can proceed as normal tomorrow, it's best to be cautious...

Chapter 71 The Soul-Stealing Curse!

As Vizette descended the steps, the fog of the map in her mind gradually dissipated.

With a soft click, the iron gate in the distance slowly opened, revealing an empty room inside.

This room is probably used as a warehouse, but it should be cleaned regularly, as there is not much dust around it, except for a small patch of cobwebs hanging in the corners of the walls.

The walls were lined with shelves, each displaying a massive barrel of wine.

Looking around, it would take at least two classrooms combined to match the size of this room.

There were also many armored dummies placed around the shelves. The armor was full of dents and pits, as if it had been the result of some kind of magical experiment.

There were stacks of books scattered on the ground. Vizette picked up one of them with some delight, but a strange feeling immediately came over her.

He felt as if he were touching not a book, but a person.

Even without any warmth or pulse, he would still have this strange feeling in his mind.

Not only that, he also felt a buzzing sound, as if the books were talking and whispering in his ear.

Vizette used her magic eye to scan the books on the ground and discovered that they all contained some kind of magic.

For some reason, he could only see a very blurry mass through these books, and he couldn't even call it a magic circuit.

Filled with doubt, he tossed the book forward and used a levitation spell to flip through it, only to find that there wasn't a single word in it, just like the blank notebook he had just bought.

"Is every book like this?"

Vizette frowned slightly, gripped his wand tightly, and suddenly raised it. The books in the room flew up and hovered around him like birds.

He maintained his magical eye, scanning through one blank book after another, until he finally found a page in the crevice.

Observing with his magic eye, he discovered that the page contained a great deal of ancient magical power, emitting a familiar silver-blue light.

Having identified his target, he continued waving his wand, leaving only that one page and placing all the blank books in a corner.

Wizette held the thin pages of the book; compared to the eerie feel of those other books, these pages were clearly much more normal.

This page is made of the scales of some kind of snake, and the front is painted with a white skull that looks extremely realistic.

In the bottom right corner of the book, there is a familiar signature, from Serena Pendragon.

This certainly seems to be her work, imbued with a certain indescribable sense of ritual.

Below the skull is a message: Simple and easy to learn, allowing you to easily master the Imperius Curse.

The Imperish Curse is one of the three unforgivable curses.

The Ministry of Magic calls it "extremely cruel dark magic," and according to magical law, anyone who uses any of the Unforgivable Curses on a person will be sent to Azkaban for life imprisonment.

However, the Imperius Curse is relatively concealed. During the period when Voldemort's power was at its peak, many wizards took advantage of this characteristic, claiming that they were controlled by Voldemort and that all their actions were not their own will.

Both its stealthy nature and the reputation of the Unforgivable Curse piqued Vizet's curiosity, making her want to know how the Imperius Curse was cast.

Based on his understanding of dark magic, the more powerful the dark magic, the more magical knowledge it requires as a foundation in order to fully interpret its power.

Serena Pendragon, however, began with "simple and easy to learn," which further piqued Wizette's curiosity.

Vizette turned the pages and saw the rest of the text left by Serena Pendragon.

"To cast the Unforgivable Curse, it is crucial that the caster possesses sufficient resolve!"

"If the caster becomes soft-hearted, the consequences could be very dangerous. At best, it might just render the Unforgivable Curse ineffective, but in the worst case, it could backfire on the caster."

"Of course, I have never been affected by the Unforgivable Curse, so I cannot describe what the 'backlash' is like..."

"Alright, now that we've covered the necessary conditions, we can begin the teaching session. First, please memorize the incantation—'Soul Away from Body'."

"Next, choose the way you like to wave your wand, then find a living creature and chant the spell... Congratulations, you have learned the Imperius Curse!"
