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

Qiu Zhang nodded and replied earnestly, "Okay! Next time, give me more turning training, start with this."

“No problem!” Roger Davis wrote a few strokes on the board and turned to goalkeeper Grant Page, saying, “The teamwork is noticeably better this time compared to before.”

"However, the choice of positions in the air can still be optimized... You should take a look at Arsenal's booklet; he left a lot of insights in it."

Grant Page scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Mainly... sometimes when I see Vizet suddenly appear, I get so startled that I don't react in time..."

Roger Davis waved his hand and said, "It's alright. As long as you can defend against Vizette, you should be able to stop the attacks from Angelina and Aria... You'll get used to it!"

He gave a few more brief analyses before concluding, "Our next match is against Hufflepuff. If we maintain this form, we'll definitely win more easily than last year! Let's go!"

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

After the team disbanded, the members did not immediately return to the castle, but instead took a walk around the meadow or the Black Lake.

Not only the Ravenclaw team members, but also many students, were wrapped in thick robes as they strolled around Hogwarts Castle.

Vizette and Luna arrived at the shore of Black Lake, where the trees along the shore had shed most of their leaves, exposing their branches and forming intricate lines that resembled a series of paintings.

The two walked around the lakeside, and Vizet exhaled a breath of warm air and said, "If we feel cold, let's go back to the castle!"

Luna gently shook her head and picked up a leaf that had just fallen to the ground.

She puffed out her cheeks and exhaled a breath of hot air, mimicking Vezel's gesture. "Look! It's not cold at all. It's rare that it's not raining, and it's the weekend..."

She stuffed the leaf into her pocket, her tone suddenly pausing.

Vizette quickly asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Did you catch a cold?"

Luna shook her head again, looked at Vizet very seriously, and said, "Let's go back! It's time to go to the auditorium for lunch."

"It's okay, I'm not hungry right now." Vizette understood what Luna meant and smiled slightly. "I just finished training, so if I walk around a bit more now, I won't be sore tomorrow."

"Hmm!" Luna narrowed her eyes slightly, a joyful smile on her face, and hopped along to keep up with Vizet's pace, like a lively and adorable wild rabbit.

Luna must have been dressed warmly, as there were beads of sweat on her forehead.

She wore a purple-pink cotton hat with pom-poms, which she bought at the department store last year.

She particularly liked the two pom-poms attached to the cotton hat, and even modified them by sewing on black cotton thread and airship plums to make them look like a ball bird.

Watching Luna fiddling with the cotton thread of her hat and playing with the pink, fluffy ball of feathers, Vizette said, "The matter of the secret chamber is almost resolved, and then we can go to the Forbidden Forest."

"It's a secret trip to the Forbidden Forest." Luna's joy was even more evident, as sweet as honey.

"The school rules say a lot... We'll also have to avoid Mr. Filch and avoid Mr. Hagrid's patrol times..."

Faced with such a comprehensive plan, Vizet didn't want to spoil Luna's fun, so he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, we'll be careful then."

Luna continued, "You told me before that there are also 'Ball-Escape Birds' in the Forbidden Forest. They are your good friends, and I can get to know them then..."

"And those centaurs' altars, that mysterious altar George and Fred mentioned... Oh, right! There are Thestrals in the Forbidden Forest, we can go look for them too..."

“Thestrals?” Vizette suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen something different at the school hospital.

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Luna, did you sense anything different this morning?"

"Something different?" Luna tilted her head. "Does it mean I fly around like a ground bat?"

“Yes…” Vizette nodded, “Then guess what I felt?”

"Hmm..." Luna gently rubbed the ball of fluff from the Ball Bird. "Can you feel what I saw? Did you see the Thestrals flying out of the Forbidden Forest, did you see me watering flowers in the greenhouse?"

“Perhaps it’s because we re-established a memory bond a couple of days ago…” Wizette analyzed. “It could be due to some emotion or thought that caused this situation.”

Luna realized, "It's because I was thinking at the time that you might be too tired, so you should rest more?"

“Then that must be it!” Vizette recalled. “Back then, I was slacking off while thinking about life at home and taking care of the garden with you…”

He added, "Will you experience any discomfort? Like dizziness or headaches?"

Luna pondered for a moment and said, "It just feels very strange... like sand that you hold too tightly; if you try to find it, you can't feel it anymore."

Vizette looked at Luna and nodded, saying, "That's how I felt too."

“If that’s the case…” Luna closed her eyes, her body swaying in the gentle breeze like a bright sunflower.

Vizette understood what Luna was planning to do, carefully watching Luna's movements and protecting the bright sunflower to prevent her from suddenly falling.

After a short while, Luna opened her eyes and sighed softly, "It seems I don't feel that way anymore."

“Perhaps some condition must be met?” Vizette reassured her. “Or maybe it will only happen in the morning? Like dew, which disappears as noon approaches.”

"Early morning?" Luna's interest was piqued again, her cheerful voice like the tinkling of wind chimes in a gentle breeze. "Maybe one day, like when I encounter a ball-escape bird in the wild, I'll be able to see what you're dreaming about?"

Vizette murmured, "Then I need to make sure I get enough sleep and try to have a good dream."

Chapter 182 Spell, Dark Mark

The clouds in the sky grew thicker, and the mottled silver-gray light became even dimmer.

Luna was a little tired from playing, and she had collected a lot of beautiful leaves, which she stuffed into her pockets, making them bulge.

As Vizette and Luna were heading to the auditorium, Luna pointed to the sky and exclaimed, "Look! A guardian spirit!"

It was a silver miniature phoenix, which quickly flew to Vizet's side.

The Phoenix Patronus flapped its wings, and Dumbledore's voice came from within, "Vizet, after you've finished with Severus, come to the Headmaster's office! The password hasn't changed."

……

In the afternoon private lessons, Snape continued to expand on the broad spectrum of antidotes, leading Vizet into a deeper study of the "analogy" theory related to potions.

As the name suggests, the broad-spectrum antidote is an antidote that counteracts the toxicity of common poisons. The ingredients only require dung stones, mistletoe berries, and unicorn horn powder.

Modern potions, especially those with various antidotes, are usually based on "broad-spectrum antidotes" and contain special ingredients added to target specific ailments.

For example, the potion used to eliminate swelling from magical and toxic potions—the swelling reducer—is made by adding a few drops of leech juice to a "broad-spectrum antidote."

The principle is to utilize the leech's "shrinking" property, combined with the "detoxifying" properties of a broad-spectrum antidote, to completely eliminate the swelling caused by a certain magic or toxic potion.

As Vizette gained a deeper understanding of the theory of "analogy," the process of brewing potions became increasingly interesting.

The process of brewing this potion has a bit of a "bartender" feel to it;

Using a broad-spectrum antidote as the "base liquor," and then adding various magical potion ingredients to achieve a specific purpose, a "cocktail" is finally made to achieve the purpose of detoxification.

Wizette studied with great enthusiasm, combining the content of her private lessons with her memories of Salazar Slytherin, which gave her new feelings and insights.

Even after dinner, on his way to the principal's office, he was still thinking about these things.

“We’ve arrived!” Luna’s ethereal voice echoed in his ears.

Vizette looked up and saw that Luna had been holding her wrist and leading her all the way to the principal's office, which prevented any accidents from happening.

“Remember Madam Pomfrey’s instructions!” Luna cleared her throat, mimicking Madam Pomfrey’s tone.

"Since he's your friend, remember to make sure he gets plenty of rest! Leave the hospital bed for someone who needs it!"

Hearing Luna's joking tone, Vizet held up her hand and assured her, "Okay! I'll definitely be careful!"

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

Vizette entered the principal's office and found a small silver object on the desk. It looked like some kind of magical badge with intricate patterns.

The patterns that Vizet could recognize included mistletoe, oak, and flames, all of which are common motifs in ritual magic.

Apart from the silver trinkets, Dobby was still in the principal's office, but the moment he saw Vizet, he clutched his chest and fainted, only managing to utter a single "Oh."

As the Malfoy family's house-elf, Draco naturally has the power to order Dobby around.

Dobby was ordered by Draco to stay in the headmaster's office and not leave.

“That’s quite strange,” Dumbledore said with a half-smile. “We were just having a nice chat… He seems terrified of you…”

Vizette sat down. "Perhaps it's because I used fear as a 'lever' to pry open his memories, thus leaving a bad impression?"

He took a glass bottle out of his pocket, inside which was a silver thread.

“Headmaster Dumbledore, this is Dobby’s memory, which contains the reason he attacked Harry. But I didn’t have time to look at it before…”

“It’s alright, I’ll study it properly later.” Dumbledore took the glass bottle and pushed the small silver object toward Vizet. “Try it… just put your hand on it.”

“Headmaster Dumbledore…” Vizet was curious about the pattern on the small object, “This is…”

"Let's give it a try!" Dumbledore murmured, explaining simply, "It's a magical tool for testing purposes. If there's no reaction... that's the best outcome."

"A magical tool for testing?" Vizet nodded and placed his hand on it.

In an instant, his attention was drawn to the changes in his mind.

An image flashed into his mind—the same python image that appeared after he obtained the "Curse Command".

The original design of that pattern was quite bizarre, a combination of a skull and a python.

As he obtained the "Command," the skull was smashed to pieces by the python, leaving only the image of the python.

The python in the design is coiled together to form a cross shape, which is very similar to the '?' in runes.

Compared to the combination of skulls and pythons, the python pattern today is less sinister and has a feeling of iron chains.

“As expected…” Dumbledore sighed, his expression turning serious. “You did indeed obtain the Command Seal… When did you obtain it?”

"Could it be the end of last school year? That time Voldemort tried to invade your soul, but you defeated him instead... which allowed you to obtain the Command Seals?"

Upon hearing Dumbledore's words, Vizzett snapped out of her reverie and looked at the silver magical artifact.
