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

After determining the shape, the witch picked up a carving knife and carefully inscribed the words, filled the words with a certain powder, held her wand against the powder and chanted: "Damage your teeth and offend your mouth!"

Under the influence of magic, the powder condenses into a single mass, which is then covered with a layer of clay to conceal the inscribed text. The mixture is then fired with flames to complete the creation of the earthenware teacup.

Not only did Weizette observe very carefully, but the Weasley twins also became serious, abandoning their usual playful banter and displaying focused concentration.

The witch stood up, changed the style of her robe into a plain long dress, and tied on an apron with ruffles. Her pointed hat also became a plain headscarf.

Judging from the witch's attire and the surrounding furniture and decorations, this memory likely dates back to some period in the Middle Ages.

After making all the preparations, the witch left the cabin and walked along the cobblestone path toward the village square.

Surrounding the square were circles of villagers, craning their necks to look at the center of the square, where a makeshift execution platform stood.

A thick wooden stake stood in the center of the execution platform, with a thin, unconscious girl tied to it, and firewood piled up around it.

The three exchanged glances and quickly realized what had happened: "This must be the execution site of a witch hunt."

Fred pondered, "That magic teacup? What is she planning to do with it?"

“And they’ve even changed their clothes…” George suggested, “Could they be planning to sabotage the execution?”

The drag queen moved swiftly, replacing a servant with a magical teacup and pouring a cup of herbal tea before serving it to the judge on the platform.

The judge, his expression agitated, gesticulated wildly as he read aloud the frail girl's charges, such as using dark magic to curse the village, plunging it into drought and causing the mysterious deaths of livestock.

The villagers who were watching also became angry after being incited. They dug up mud and stones from the ground and threw them at the thin girl on the execution platform.

Some villagers showed a hint of reluctance and wanted to say a few words of persuasion, but they were drowned out by angry shouts and driven out of the square by other villagers.

The drag queen followed the executioner, who was carrying a torch, onto the execution platform.

She smiled as she handed the judge herbal tea. To the judge's horrified gaze, sharp teeth sprouted from the rim of the teacup and bit the judge's nose, refusing to let go.

The scene immediately descended into chaos, with many militiamen gathering together and binding the witch to the execution platform.

With a large chunk of his nose bitten off and his face covered in blood, the judge ordered the executioner to immediately carry out the burning at the stake.

The flames instantly ignited the firewood, engulfing the drag queen and the frail girl.

The roars around them continued, and the crackling of the firewood burning grew increasingly agitated, but there was no sound of the flames burning skin and causing painful screams.

The Weasley twins walked through the flames and saw the drag queen protecting the frail girl inside; neither of them was burned by the flames.

The drag queen even looked on with enjoyment, saying, "Ah... this tingling, numbing pleasure is simply irresistible!"

The thin girl looked timidly at the dressed-up witch, "Sister... are you really a witch?"

The disguised witch patted the thin girl's head. "Yes! Do you want to leave with your sister?"

The thin girl stared blankly at the flames, as if trying to see whose face it was through the flames.

However, the flames obscured her vision, burning away the confusion in her eyes. "Maybe they'll be better off without me?"

"Then take that as your agreement!" The drag queen closed her eyes, seemingly wanting to feel the tingling sensation of the flames again.

With a "snap," the surrounding scenery changed, from a village square to the shore of a lake, with a majestic castle in the distance—the very Hogwarts that Vizet and his friends knew.

Watching the drag queen and the skinny girl enter the castle, Vizette and the others also left the Pensieve.

Fred rubbed his eyes, a wide grin spreading across his face. "The process of making the 'nose-biting teacup'! It's practically a trade secret!"

“Yes, Vizette!” George nodded repeatedly. “How did you find such a wonderful place? Not only does it have the Pensieve, but it also holds such precious memories!”

Vizette waved her hand, her tone somewhat helpless, "I'm not really sure either, they seem to be quite fond of these...riddles?"

Compared to the Weasley twins' interest in the magic teacup, Vizzet was more interested in the history of the "witch hunt."

After all, this was part of the History of Magic he was currently studying, and if he wasn't mistaken, this memory should come from the eccentric Wendelin.

According to the description in "A History of Magic", the eccentric Wendelin thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being burned.

She carried out similar actions at least forty-seven times, disguising herself in various forms and costumes, and enjoying the burning at the stake by Muggles.

Further conclusions can be drawn from her memories: she not only enjoys the burning of flames, but also saves innocent people with magical talents, bringing them back to Hogwarts and training them to become wizards.

Thinking about this, Vizette couldn't help but wonder—how did Serena acquire this memory?

The eccentric Wendelin is a medieval witch from at least five hundred years ago, and she doesn't belong to the same era as Serena. How did she extract her memories?

With these questions in mind, he left a message directly in Serena's notebook, writing down all his questions.

Serena's answer was quick and consistent with her usual personality.

The notebook contained only one sentence: It's not time yet!

Fred suddenly put his arm around Vizette's shoulder. "Vizette, are you interested in making magical items?"

George put his arm around Vizet's other shoulder. "With such a secret, we can strike while the iron is hot and make a nose-biting teacup!"

Vizette nodded. "Of course!"

Fred smiled with satisfaction. "Well done! Looks like your position might not be good enough...you need a promotion!"

George agreed, saying, "We can move towards becoming partners!"

Chapter 122 How to Make a Teacup That Bites the Nose

Fred and George's magical item-making techniques came from the Weasley family; they found the corresponding books in Arthur's room themselves.

Their father, Arthur, also studied magical artifacts. For example, the car that could fly was made using ancestral magical artifact making techniques, which enabled it to fly.

In the living room of the humble abode, there is also a very special clock hanging.

The clock face has nine hands, each one gleaming gold and engraved with the name of a family member.

Not only are the hands unique, but the clock face is also extremely peculiar. Instead of marking the time, it indicates the location or status, such as "home," "school," or "going to work."

It also seems to be able to foresee danger; at the twelve o'clock position on an ordinary clock, the words "Deadly Danger" are written in blood-red characters.

According to Fred and George, when they played a prank on Ron and tried to cast a spell similar to an "unbreakable oath," Ron's name already implied "deadly danger."

This special clock was brought from the ancestral home by Arthur when he separated from his family and built the Burrow.

This also shows that the Weasley family has considerable expertise in the creation of magical items.

However, the other family members were not enthusiastic about this. The eldest son, Bill, worked as a spellbreaker at Gringotts, the second son, Charlie, studied dragons in Romania, and Percy wanted to enter the Ministry of Magic.

Only Fred and George wanted to use this ancestral technique to develop unique prank gadgets...

The Grindelwald Notebook, which Vizet possesses, also contains methods for crafting magical items.

It also uses alchemy to create corresponding magical powders, which are then used in the making of magical items.

The connection between the prop and the powder requires the use of transformation magic, which is currently the type of magic that Vizet is most proficient in.

From some details in the notes, one can clearly see the extraordinary talent and ambition of Grindelwald and Dumbledore.

They hope to change wizards, Muggles, and even the world through their own actions.

However, fate is fickle, and through a series of unexpected events, they become adversaries, with one ending up in prison and the other returning to school.

Returning to Grindelwald's notebooks, most of the methods recorded therein require a fairly comprehensive knowledge base to understand their deeper meaning.

The simple techniques and methods that Vizette had already used in her Christmas gift to Luna during her first year of school.

He wants to delve deeper into the contents of the notes and needs to acquire more related knowledge.

Fred and George's invitation was undoubtedly a great opportunity, and Vezel certainly had no reason to refuse.

In order to learn from others' strengths, Vizet hoped to gain more knowledge of magic and experience so that he could read Grindelwald's Notebook more deeply.

Observing the entire process of making magical items is a very interesting thing in itself.

The first step Fred and George had to take was to determine the effect of the prank they wanted to achieve.

Since it's a teacup that bites the nose, the teacup should have teeth so that it can bite the nose when the user is using it.

-------------------------------------

As a prank prop, the process of biting the nose needs to be safe enough to be broken by universal anti-prank spells;

If even this cannot be guaranteed, they must consider the potential risks—in the event of an unforeseen accident, Ministry of Magic staff will come knocking and take them back for a "visit."

Although the two are very fond of pranks, they also consider the potential risks with the mindset of wizards to avoid causing bigger trouble.

Of course, this is also from the perspective of a wizard.

After all, various magical potions possess amazing effects and can treat a variety of injuries and illnesses. Ordinary fractures and knife wounds can be healed directly with magic.

The second step requires the use of alchemy to create magical powder, which is then used to preserve the corresponding magic.

Even though Fred and George had inherited alchemy skills, it would still take them a long time to experiment with materials suitable for alchemy.

In order to obtain the magic powder for the nose-biting teacup, they started experimenting during the summer vacation, and it wasn't until the last two days that they finally perfected it.

After determining the recipe and conducting a series of experiments to continuously adjust the proportions, you can proceed to the third step – enchanting.

Starting from the third step, a different approach emerged compared to Grindelwald's notes.

Fred and George took out the Rune Dictionary and searched for the correct symbols based on the inscriptions made by the eccentric Wendell.

They need to inscribe runes, fill them with magical powder, and finally apply magic to complete the enchanting process.

Finally, only simple repairs are needed to complete the creation of the magical item.

During this period, Wizette interacted with them, sharing their experiences and achieving the goal of finding common ground while respecting differences.
