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

……

Vizette noticed this and sped up her writing, then said apologetically, "Sorry to keep you waiting."

“You take notes very quickly; it seems you do this often.” Slytherin nodded. “Then let’s continue… Vizzett, what do you think holds the body and soul together?”

After some thought, Vizette felt her mind had broadened considerably and quickly came up with the answer: "It's blood!"

He paused, then added to his answer, "It requires blood containing magic!"

"Being able to clearly know that the blood contains magic..." Slytherin smiled with satisfaction, "shows that your understanding of potions is indeed far ahead of its time."

“It just so happens that Professor Snape talked about this at the beginning of this school year,” Vizzet explained. “He took me to understand potions from the very beginning.”

“Professor Snape?” Slytherin raised an eyebrow. “Also a Ravenclaw?”

Vizette shook her head. "He's a Slytherin, the youngest Potions Master! His understanding of potions is incredibly profound!"

Slytherin nodded. "Not bad... at least there's one Slytherin."

Vizette continued, "Actually, blood containing magic isn't that rare... at least compared to the Middle Ages."

Slytherin murmured, "Oh?"

"Thanks to Mr. Newt Scamander's help, wizards have established special breeding grounds in the magical world to ensure that their blood contains magic," Wizette explained.

"Therefore, we no longer need to kill animals and extract the magical blood as in the Middle Ages... It's much more convenient."

"There must be some downsides to this..." Slytherin remarked, "For example, there probably aren't as many wizards who know that blood contains magic as there used to be, are there?"

"The original Hogwarts curriculum clearly stipulated that one must know the 'blood-drawing charm' to ensure that the blood used to brew potions contained magic."

"Blood contains magic," this was the potions knowledge that Snape began to teach Vizet after he understood the soul.

After being enlightened by Slytherin, Vizzet finally understood what "blood containing magic" meant.

The magic contained in the blood originates from the soul, and this magic can act as an "anchor" to "strengthen" the body.

This is why, once the soul is damaged, the magic that serves as the "anchor" will also be lost, which in turn leads to physical defects, such as Alastor Moody's missing eye.

……

Slytherin coughed lightly. "Now that we've resolved the issue of blood, we can move on to the third step—to truly begin learning blood magic."

Vizette had already jotted down her thoughts and was waiting with sparkling eyes for Slytherin to speak.

Slytherin said slowly, “Blood is not only the bond between the soul and the body, but it can also serve as a bridge to connect them.”

"Since the soul and body influence each other, we can use blood as a 'bridge' to mobilize the magic contained within it, and then manipulate the 'anchor point'..."

“In addition, we can also modify the ‘bridge’ of blood, mobilize external forces to ‘reinforce’ it, and make wizards even more powerful… This is bloodline magic.”

"Mobilize external forces to 'reinforce' it?" Vizette suddenly recalled what she had seen in the forbidden section. "For example... combining it with magical creatures?"

Slytherin was somewhat surprised, and nodded slightly, saying, "This is the most effective approach, and there are many ways to 'combine' them..."

Chapter 201 The Secret of Bloodline

There are many ways to combine bloodlines, but the most time-saving, labor-saving, and technically-required method is to continue the bloodline through instinct, thereby allowing offspring to acquire extraordinary talents.

The most typical example is the union of a wizard and a Veela.

This is a magical creature from Bulgaria, possessing stunning beauty and innate alluring magic. Its skin glows with a soft, luminous light, and its flowing long hair moves even without wind.

The offspring born from the union of a wizard and a Veela will not only retain the Veela's appearance and talents, but also her talent for casting magic.

Of course, this is not without its flaws. Since it retains all the characteristics of the Veela, it also needs to bear the flaws that come with the Veela.

Veela’s magic comes from her long hair. Once her hair is damaged, she loses the ability to cast spells and her beautiful appearance, turning into a terrifying bird-like creature.

The offspring of wizards and Veelas are also like this; their long hair will be damaged, making it difficult for them to cast spells, and their bodies will become weak.

In addition, the alluring magic brought by the Veela bloodline can also bring trouble, making her vulnerable to slander from others.

“The Veela bloodline cannot be preserved for long,” Slytherin said. “Usually, after three generations, the Veela bloodline will disappear.”

"The offspring born from the union of a Veela and a sorcerer are generally referred to as 'humans' and are not recognized as 'Veela' by the Veela community."

"Why?" Vizette asked, looking up without stopping her note-taking. "I remember that Veela don't seem to have males... how have they existed until now?"

“To unite with a Muggle,” Slytherin said slowly. “Aren’t there similar legends about Muggles? Muggles are seduced by banshees in the wild, and when they come to their senses, they only remember fragments.”

Vizette was still somewhat puzzled. "But...why? Why does mating with a Muggle result in the birth of a real Veela?"

“It’s not time to worry about these issues yet.” Slytherin waved his hand, revealing a mysterious smile.

"The direct union of a wizard and a magical creature requires accepting the magical creature's weaknesses, and can be considered the most basic form of bloodline magic."

"A more advanced form of bloodline magic combines potion magic and ritual magic to 'plunder' the talents of magical creatures."

"Using potions and ritual magic as a medium... in this way... the wizard's blood will contain the talent of magical creatures."

"This method is so bold and ingenious!" Vezel exclaimed. "There's only a fine line between genius and madness..."

“This is what I told you before… to follow your beliefs, Vizette!” Slytherin stood up. “It’s a wonderful approach, isn’t it?”

"Through this method, the talent can also be passed on, and the offspring born from mating with other wizards will have a high probability of acquiring the same talent."

“Continue…the talent?” Vizet frowned slightly, recalling a conversation he had with Dumbledore at the school hospital during the previous school year.

"Headmaster Slytherin, can I understand it this way? Talents that are passed down in this way... are what's called soul talents?"

“Your reaction is quick, and you’re intelligent enough.” Slytherin nodded, looking at Vizzet and saying slowly, “Soul, blood, body, just like alchemy…”

Noticing the Slytherin's gaze, Vizette pondered for a moment before saying, "Transformation and regeneration! Although 'blood magic' exists in the blood, it can be transformed using 'blood' as a medium!"

"The process of wizards uniting... is the key to transforming 'bloodline magic' into 'soul talent'! If that's the case... then the so-called 'pure-blood theory'..."

Slytherin's lips curled into a sneer, "Wizards combine with each other, perpetuating their bloodline magic, which then transforms into soul talents..."

"This is the foundation of a wizard's existence, the reason why wizards gradually become powerful. And it is precisely because of this that other magical creatures become our vassals."

"So you specifically pointed out the problem with the name..." Upon hearing this, Wizette had a sudden realization, "So that's what you meant by thinking the name of this theory is ridiculously laughable."

"Headmaster Slytherin, I've thought of another question..." he murmured as he asked, "Since bloodline magic can be converted into soul talent, why isn't it being promoted more vigorously?"

"Otherwise, the so-called pure-blood families wouldn't have come up with a 'pure-blood theory'... At least they should understand that they need to use a different term to define this theory."

"Furthermore, as far as I know, even in the Hogwarts library, there are very few books about blood magic... Why is that?"

Slytherin explained, "Because this method is not 100% safe, the probability of failure is greater than you might think."

He gave Vizette a deep look. "Usually, a wizard's soul will only exhibit one or a few soul talents; exceptional cases are extremely rare..."

"Moreover, although this method is ingenious, it may also lead to some bad situations, or even give birth to outcasts, such as vampires."

In the magical world, vampires are still quite distinctive, with a pale and haggard appearance and sharp fangs that cannot be hidden, capable of piercing the throat and sucking blood.

“Vampires?” Vizette recalled another similar case. “Headmaster Slytherin, what about blood cursed orcs? Are they also anomalies born from blood magic?”

“Of course!” Slytherin nodded. “Even if vampires are eliminated, similar anomalies will occasionally reappear due to bloodline magic.”

Wizette let out a breath, then suddenly a possibility occurred to her, "Headmaster Slytherin, could I interpret it this way..."

"To minimize the side effects of this bloodline magic... we need to be in contact with Muggles... Wizards can never be separated from Muggles?"

Slytherin exclaimed in surprise, "You actually thought of that!"

"What gave me this idea was mainly what you just mentioned—that a real Veela can only be born from the union of a Veela and a Muggle," Wizette explained.

He recalled his experience learning wand-making techniques, "Headmaster Slytherin, I once heard a rumor..."

"It is said that the earliest humans split into two factions. One faction of humans was born with sensitivity and thus had the opportunity to become wizards, while the other faction of humans were the so-called Muggles."

"So my idea is... when wizards begin to drift far away from humans through blood magic, they need to use Muggles... to pull themselves back to the side of humanity."

"In fact, even in today's magical world, wizards are only advised to keep themselves out of the public eye, but they are not prohibited from contacting Muggles. Otherwise, the concept of 'Muggle family background' would not exist."

Chapter 202 A Further Step in Bloodline Magic

Slytherin pursed his lips tightly, looking at Vizzet again as if he had just met her.

Seeing Slytherin's strange expression, Wizette asked doubtfully, "Headmaster Slytherin, is my guess......"

“No!” Slytherin interrupted Wizette. “Your ability to think to this level is beyond my expectations. No wonder it’s Ravenclaw…”

"That's good. It shows that you have a deep enough understanding of the concept of bloodline magic. We can officially begin learning bloodline magic now!"

Wizette didn't dwell on it too much. She made a clear mark in her notebook, specifically marking the word "Muggle" and listing it as a future research objective.

Slytherin stood up. "The blood magic I'm about to teach you is the result of my personal research."

The basilisk sensed something was wrong and became restless again, hissing as it flicked its tongue.

Vizette thought of the chaotic secret chamber. "Headmaster Slytherin, are you referring to the research findings stored in that secret chamber?"

“Yes, it’s those ashes.” Slytherin patted the basilisk’s head, letting it rest. “There are certain similarities between Command spells and blood magic…”

Vizet was fortunate that he had a decent foundation in both potions and ritual magic, which allowed him to keep up with Slytherin's pace and formally begin studying blood magic.

As Slytherin said, there are certain similarities between Command spells and blood magic;

For example, like blood magic, spells can draw power from magical creatures by performing ritual magic...

Even in terms of limitations, the two share some similarities;
