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

"Hehe! I'll definitely be able to do it after I study it for a while longer!" Xenophilius grinned, shaking the air pump in his hand. "I'll stick with this for now! Let's see who's faster!"

……

Before the three could even compete to see who could cheer the fastest, they encountered a new problem.

"How did it fly?" Xenophius had just popped a balloon, and before he knew it, he let it fly away, making a long series of "poof" sounds in the air.

“It also needs to be tied...like this.” Vizet stretched the balloon opening around his index finger and thumb, pinched the opening with two fingers and pulled it back to finish tying it up.

“Wait a minute…” Xenophius rubbed his eyes, “It was a bit fast, I couldn’t see it clearly…”

Luna picked up the balloon and leaned close to Vizet. "I didn't see it clearly either. What should I do?"

She was afraid that even a tiny bit of air would leak out of the balloon and cause it to fly away, so she gripped it tightly with her fingers.

Wizette asked, "Shall I demonstrate again, holding your hand?"

"Yes!" Luna nodded repeatedly, her expression becoming focused.

“Look, it’s like this…” Vizetra stretched out her mouth, trying to avoid Luna’s fingers.

"You've already squeezed it tight enough, just wrap it around once... cough! Grab the opening of the balloon in my hand..."

Nevertheless, the opening of the balloon was so small that their fingers inevitably touched.

Perhaps because of the Phoenix Mark, Vizet's fingers were much warmer. Every time Luna touched Vizet's fingertips, it felt like touching a warm and mellow cup of hot tea.

Perhaps due to her constitution, Luna's fingers were slightly cool, and every time Vizet touched Luna's fingertips, it felt like touching delicate and clear crystal.

Vizette raised her head slightly to look at Luna, who had the same thought. Their eyes met, and then they both lowered their heads to focus their attention on the balloon.

Wizette handed the balloon opening to Luna and continued, "You pinch it and pull it back, and that's it..."

"Oh... I see!" Xenophilius exclaimed in sudden realization. "I've learned it!"

He moved quickly, stretching the balloon's opening long, and was just about to wrap it around his finger when, unexpectedly, the balloon burst with a "bang," and fragments splattered onto his hair.

Luna reached out to help remove the fragments, and Xenophilius said somewhat embarrassedly, "Ahem! I've already figured out the principle... This was just a mistake!"

Vizette nodded. "Yes, it's normal for a few balloons to burst easily because they don't stretch well."

“That’s right! That’s exactly it!” Xenophilius said with satisfaction. “Vizet, you’re pretty good at this!”

Perhaps it was because his fingers were rather thick that tying the balloon shut wasn't so easy for him;

After popping a few more balloons, he said he needed to prepare dinner and left the task of inflating the balloons to Vizet and Luna.

Luna's knot-tying technique was still a bit clumsy, but with more guidance, her movements gradually became more skillful.

As more and more balloons appeared around, the atmosphere in the room grew warmer, like the colorful balloons, the blush from earlobes to neck, and the warmth of the fire in the fireplace…

Chapter 24 A Square Gift

Night deepened, time quietly passed midnight, and Christmas Eve quietly came to an end.

Vizette gently turned the doorknob, went down the stairs to the living room on the first floor, and stuffed the Christmas gifts into the stocking by the fireplace.

Luna loved the story of Santa Claus, so she bought the ribbons, balloons, and the big red Christmas stockings as well.

Just as Vizette was stuffing the gift for Luna into her sock and was about to pull open the other sock, she heard faint footsteps coming from upstairs.

He took a few steps back, moving closer to the kitchen, and waited quietly.

A series of soft rustling sounds came from the living room, followed by footsteps.

Luna appeared in a light blue nightgown. The moment she saw Vizet, she winked playfully with her right eye and covered her mouth as they hid in the kitchen together.

The footsteps outside at that moment were, of course, coming from Xenophius.

“These are Luna’s socks…and there’s something inside?” Xenophilius asked, puzzled. “Would Vizette have sent a book?”

"Never mind! These are Vizette's socks... What did Luna give me? They're all square and neat, could they... be a book too?"

"Oh no! Will Vizette's hard work... infect Luna? Oh well, since they're both Ravenclaws, there's nothing we can do..."

Just as Vizette and Luna were about to leave the kitchen, Xenophilius's footsteps faded into the distance until they disappeared from sight.

"Merry Christmas!" Vizette whispered, taking Christmas presents out of her stocking.

Luna's smile was evident in her words, and the gift in her hand was also square-shaped. "Merry Christmas!"

The two sat facing each other, unwrapping the first gift they had received.

Vizette gave Luna a picture book as a gift, while Luna gave Vizette a picture frame as a gift.

"You can draw something on it..."

"You can press there..."

Luna picked up the pen in the sketchbook. It was a crystal pen. She used the crystal pen to outline the shape of a rabbit. With a faint light, the snow-white rabbit emerged from the sketchbook and began to hop and jump.

Vizette pressed down on the picture frame, and the leaves hidden inside flew up, floating on the frame and stacking on top of each other to form a dynamic picture of him throwing the Quake into the door ring.

This is a magical item that is both simple and ingenious. It is simple in that the magic it is attached to only uses a basic spell—the levitation spell.

There are so many ingenious details. Whether it's using the levitation spell to adjust the position of the leaves or selecting such a colorful array of leaves, it all requires incredible ingenuity.

Spirituality and ingenuity, patience and meticulousness... In Vizet's view, only Luna could blend them so perfectly and present them without reservation.

"I love so much……"

"Good night……"

They spoke at the same time and then laughed at the same time.

They took out the gifts that were supposed to be placed earlier and put them into Xenophiulius's stocking...

Vizette returned to her room, lay on her bed, and stared at the ceiling, lost in memories. She recalled Luna's earnest way of collecting leaves at Hogwarts, and gradually drifted off to sleep...

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

On Christmas Day, Vizette woke up from her sleep.

There was a loud noise coming from downstairs, like some kind of impact.

He immediately snapped out of it, quickly rolled out of bed, cast the Guardian Meditation Technique and the Eye of Magic at the same time, then pulled his wand from his pocket, his expression turning serious.

Turning the doorknob, I heard a loud banging sound outside, along with a sharp, familiar voice.

"Dobby cannot leave here! Dobby already belongs to Mr. Lovegood!"

Then came another crash.

Dobi?

House-elves?

Connecting the two, Vizette could only think of the house-elf who liked to punish her.

He remained vigilant until he went downstairs to assess the situation and confirmed that Luna and Xenophilius were alright, at which point he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Vizet, come and see… what’s going on?” Xenophilius looked up at Vizet. “He says he belongs to Mr. Lovegood, but then he won’t listen to me…”

“I just saw him, and he's been standing here hurting himself... He even said it was some kind of punishment, that he had to show his remorse…”

“Master…” Dobby turned to Vizet and continued to punish himself, banging his head against the floor until it bled profusely, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

Vizette frowned and said, "Stop!"

Dobby stopped moving, still keeping his head down, letting the blood flow down his wound to the ground.

"Here you go... you can use it to stop the bleeding." Luna ran into the living room, holding a stone mortar in her hands, which contained some crushed herbs, which looked like Dictamnus dasycarpus.

Dobby made no move, but simply bowed to Vizet without moving.

Vizette then asked, "Why are you here?"

“Master…I am…your house-elf…I will serve you with all my heart…” Dobby’s voice trembled as if he was suppressing his fear.

As he spoke, he continued to bow, slowly approaching Vizet, and then presented her with a letter.

Vizette took the letter and saw that the envelope was signed Lucius Malfoy, and there were two parchments inside.

A piece of parchment contained a short letter with only two brief sentences: "A gift for you, faithful Lucius Malfoy."

Another parchment, from the House-Elf Relocation Office, is a certificate issued by the Ministry of Magic confirming that Dobby is now Vizzet's property.

“Vizet.” Luna stepped forward and handed him the mortar. “He bled a lot more than I did.”

“I understand, I’ll handle it.” Vizette smiled, though he also had many questions in his mind.

Why would Lucius suddenly send a gift, especially a house-elf?

And then there's the supposedly loyal Lucius Malfoy...

Why say such things to him?

Thinking of this, Vizette looked at Dobby again, "Come up with me! The dust will be gone!"

He took out his wand, cleaned up the bloodstains in the living room, and took Dobby back to the bedroom.

“Apply the medicine to yourself!” Vizet handed the mortar and pestle to Dobby.

When he made a move, Dobby instinctively took a step back, and then began to punish himself.

Vizette immediately stopped him, saying, "Stop! You are not allowed to hurt yourself without my permission."
