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

"Is it really that simple?" This is a question often asked by admirers.

"Summarizing and drawing conclusions is very important. Be bold in your imagination and experimentation, and then consult with the professors. They are all extremely outstanding wizards. That's how I learned. Keep it up!"

Encouraged by Wizette, at least during the period before the Christmas holidays, the students spread the word and one after another, they showed great enthusiasm for learning.

In addition to going back and forth between the common room and the library based on Wizette's new reading list, they also actively ask questions after class.

Despite the increased workload, the professors were pleased, and with the temporary improvement in classroom efficiency, they were more willing to share their magic tricks.

……

As the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad. Lockhart, who was still recuperating at the school hospital, did not have a single smile on his face.

During my hospital stay, apart from the first two days when some fans came to visit, no one came after that.

In addition to this, there was something even more serious that terrified him.

Lockhart touched his bald scalp and asked as if pleading, "Mrs. Pomfrey, my hair... my hair really... won't grow back at all?"

“Yes, Professor Lockhart,” Madam Pomfrey nodded. “I’ve tried those common hair growth potions on you, but none of them worked.”

“Your situation is too special, it is an accidental case of ‘wand backfire’, so we cannot find a potion that can be used to treat it.”

Chapter 11 What kind of person is Vizette?

Around noon, Luna and Amyka Miller left Hogwarts Castle and headed towards the Quidditch pitch together.

Luna didn't walk very fast, and every now and then she would open her palm to catch a snowflake that was slowly falling.

Winter has finally arrived in the Scottish Highlands, and snowfall is an essential part of the season.

The snow wasn't heavy today; the snowflakes looked like dandelion seeds, fluttering up and down in the sky.

Looking up at the sky through the snowflakes, you can even see the cunning sun hiding behind the stray clouds.

Amica asked, "Luna, what kind of person is Vizette usually?"

"Like a unicorn, isn't it?" Luna raised her hand and gently blew, sending the snowflakes in her palm back into the air, carried by the wind to farther places.

She recalled what Vizette had told Neville and Hannah when she visited her at the school hospital: "Sometimes they appear out of nowhere, offering guidance to those who are lost..."

She recalled how, when Vizet was deep in thought, she had led him all the way to the gargoyle statue. "Sometimes he needs some guidance... that's about it."

“I think I can understand a little bit…” Amica nodded as if she understood. “Speaking of which, I’ve met him a few times… He has a really good temper, and he always speaks slowly and deliberately.”

……

Luna and Amica didn't walk very fast. By the time they reached the stands, Mrs. Hodge had just walked to the center of the court.

Emika stood on tiptoe and leaned out to look at the field. "It's time to go on! Where's our team?"

"Over there!" Luna pointed in a direction, where she could just see Vizet wielding the Seven Stars Sweep.

As the players entered the field, Lee Jordan, the Quidditch commentator, had his voice echo throughout the stadium.

“Let’s take a look at the Ravenclaw team first… Leading the pack is the Chaser Roger Davis, this is his first game as captain…”

"Next up is our Wizette Lovegood! At least in my experience as a commentator, he's the most aggressive and fastest ball chaser I've ever seen! Without a doubt!"

"Because of his addition, Ravenclaw adjusted their tactics and strategies, sweeping away the slump of previous years, and successfully won the Quidditch trophy with an unstoppable momentum!"

Not long after the Duel Club incident, upon hearing Lee Jordan's introduction, the stadium erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

It wasn't just the students from Ravenclaw who were shouting; students from many other houses were also cheering.

……

Lee Jordan quickly introduced the players on both sides, adding, "It's worth noting that not only Slytherin changed their flying brooms, but Ravenclaw also received a gear upgrade."

"While the Seven Stars Sweep isn't quite as fast as Nimbus 2001, it's still incredibly fast. Hufflepuff is probably in for a tough fight... Alright! Everyone, hop on your flying brooms! The race is about to begin!"

As Mrs. Hodge's whistle blew, the match officially began, and as Lee Jordan had said, Hufflepuff was facing a tough battle.

Ravenclaw's tactics revolve around Vizette, and with the change of flying broomsticks, this tactic has reached a higher ceiling.

Lee Jordan exclaimed, "Before, Vizette's broom swept across five stars; now his flying broom has switched to sweeping across seven stars. What kind of performance will he deliver? Let's wait and see..."

He abruptly changed the subject, immediately commentating on the game: "Ravenclaw's chaser, Wizette, is in the lead, his speed... Goal! Ravenclaw takes the lead with ten points!"

"Vizete, can't you be a little more understanding? Let me finish what I have to say before you score...Vizete gets the ball again! He's on Hedges with incredible speed...and scores another ten!"

"Cough cough cough!" Lee Jordan coughed twice in a row, and it was only after Professor McGonagall cast an anti-cough spell that he recovered.

With several consecutive fast breaks and goals, the audience's emotions were quickly ignited, erupting in thunderous cheers.

Lee Jordan spoke again: "Let's see! Ravenclaw has scored another twenty points! This terrifying scoring speed... Wizette, have you ever considered entering the professional arena in the future?"

"I really feel sorry for Hufflepuff... The defensive formation that worked last school year is now struggling because of the increased speed brought by Seven Stars Sweep."

"Vizete skillfully dribbled around the ball... The ball was wobbling around... Yes! I'm angry too, it doesn't give the ball any face at all! Good! Ravenclaw scores another ten!"

"Clearly, Wiesete is well-suited to sweeping across the seven stars, not only because of his incredible speed... but also because of his amazing agility... Another goal! Ravenclaw has scored ten more points!"

……

"Hufflepuff called a timeout... The score is now 80-0... Look! Cho Chang and Cedric are both tilting their heads back like they have neck problems!"

"There's nothing we can do about it... If we can take advantage of the current gap and catch the Golden Snitch as quickly as possible, I think Hufflepuff still has a chance..."

"Vizet was also looking up, probably helping to find the Golden Snitch? But he seemed to be staring in one direction, telling us to look there, but there didn't seem to be any sign of the Golden Snitch?"

Seeing Madam Hodge raise her hand to signal for everyone to assemble, Roger Davis asked, "Have you noticed where the Golden Snitch is?"

Wizette coughed lightly and shook his head at Roger Davis.

He was so focused on the game that he only noticed Luna in the stands when he looked up after returning to the ground.

Qiu Zhang said uncertainly, "It seems to be the viewing platform in the southwest... but now the snow is falling heavily, and besides, that's Hufflepuff's viewing platform."

“Their spectator stands are black and yellow, so I’m worried that it’s just my imagination, that I’m just seeing things for a moment… and that it’s not the real Golden Snitch.”

"It's alright! They'll be even more worried than us if the snow gets too heavy." Roger Davis waved his hand. "After all, we can still widen the gap by scoring goals, while they can only rely on the Golden Snitch!"

“But since we’ve made a discovery… let’s try to go look for it!” Roger Davis thought as he walked, and soon came up with a new plan.

"Jansen and Duncan will use roaming balls to deal with Cedric, creating an opportunity for Cho Chang to go and check on the Golden Snitch's movements. Specifically, this is how we'll do it..."

After outlining the tactics, Roger Davis patted Wizett on the shoulder, "Jason and Duncan will be shifting targets later, you might have a tough time..."

Vizette used her Magic Eye to look towards the southwest viewing platform and indeed saw the Golden Snitch's magic circuit.

He nodded to Roger Davis: "No problem!"

Roger Davis let out a sigh of relief. "Alright! Let's do it that way!"

Chapter 12 Continues the Victory

Roger Davis clapped his hands and roared with high spirits, "Go! Win this game! Ravenclaw will win!"

"Ravenclaw will win!"

Mrs. Hodge blew her whistle, and the players from both teams took to the air again.

Following Roger Davis's tactics, the Ravenclaw team launched a new round of offense and defense;

Jason Samuels and Duncan Ingleby were still supporting Wizette, but they also began to adjust their positions, moving closer to Cedric.

Wizette was more focused than before, dodging the opponent's passing balls while continuing to score for Ravenclaw.

"Hufflepuff's timeout was very effective... their roaming attacks were much more frequent and tricky than before! Vizet was like a cannonball! He stole Hufflepuff's Quaffle!"

"Wolongon's Form Flight Technique! Vizette is dodging... Ah!" Lee Jordan suddenly cried out in pain, mumbling, "Beautiful...Wolongon...Flight Technique!"

……

“Raven… very… Professor… I… tongue…” He looked at Professor McGonagall beside him, his mouth agape with tears welling up in his eyes.

"Healed to full health!" Professor McGonagall raised her wand and chanted the spell into Lee Jordan's mouth.

"I bit my tongue just now, but it's nothing serious! Actually, I hope Vizet will go easy on me and not suddenly pull off some pro-player move. But I have to say, what about Wulang just now..."

"Huh?" He looked towards the higher ground of the field. "No wonder that wandering ball was always causing trouble for Vizet... it turns out Ravenclaw adjusted their tactics!"

"Ravenclaw's batters are harassing Cedric! It's a smart move; as long as they keep delaying, even if Cedric catches the Golden Snitch, Hufflepuff won't be able to win."

"That was close! Cedric seemed distracted and almost got hit in the chin by the wandering ball! Cedric suddenly accelerated! He charged towards Ravenclaw's Seeker, Cho Chang!"

"I must say, Cho Chang is a charming girl... Could it be that Cedric's absent-mindedness is because of this? According to sources, Cedric might..."

Professor McGonagall murmured, then prompted, "Li?"

"Ahem! Let's see the enchanting Qiu Zhang! No! Qiu Zhang is chasing something... The snow is getting heavier, it's really hard to see clearly, but it must be... It's definitely the Golden Snitch!"

"Cho Chang is chasing the Golden Snitch! This is Ravenclaw's real tactic! By harassing Cedric, they're creating an opportunity for Cho Chang to find the Golden Snitch!"

"Cedric clearly realized this; he was distracted because he was observing Cho Chang's situation! Cho Chang reached for the Golden Snitch! What a pity! Just a hair's breadth away!"

"Cedric is doing his best, rushing towards Cho Chang at full speed! Cho Chang suddenly makes a sharp turn! The balance of Sweeping Seven Stars is amazing! The Golden Snitch's current location is..."

"The Golden Snitch seems to be panicking and running headlong towards Cedric's location! A close call! Cedric hunches his shoulders and dodges the bouncing ball, and Cho Chang is incredibly fast too!"

"The two are getting closer and closer, is something about to happen again...? Cho Chang strikes again! Successfully catches the Golden Snitch! Match over! Congratulations to Ravenclaw for winning today's match!"
