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

"A Patronus Charm?" Vizette raised her wand. "Patriot Protection!"

A silent guardian spirit leaped from the tip of the wand, radiating warmth towards the surroundings.

“Hoo…” Salazar Slytherin took a deep breath, as if enjoying the warmth.

His spirits seemed to lift a bit. "A very powerful guardian spirit, with more emotions than I imagined... It is indeed a vessel for the soul. Who taught you to do this?"

Vizette replied, "Professor Snape taught me very comprehensively how to cast the Patronus Charm... in a way that is different from the usual way of casting a Patronus Charm."

“Oh! You mentioned this wizard to me.” Salazar Slytherin recalled, “He’s the Potions professor at Slytherin House, and apparently also skilled in Defense Against the Dark Arts…”

“That’s how a Slytherin student should be!” He nodded in satisfaction. “But your Patronus Charm… why hasn’t it materialized into a physical Patronus yet?”

“Actually, I’m already a guardian deity in the flesh,” Vizet said truthfully, “but I’m currently in the form of an Obscurus.”

"It's in Obscurial form now?" Salazar Slytherin's tone revealed a hint of surprise.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, examined it carefully, and then nodded. "Very deceptive. According to you... you have other forms of physical guardian deities?"

Vizette nodded. "There are two other forms as well."

“Hmm…” Salazar Slytherin hesitated, then finally rubbed his temples. “Let’s begin!”

"Maintain the physical body's guardian spirit, and at the same time, release your incantation to act upon the physical body's guardian spirit..."

Incantations are somewhat similar to ancient magical powers; by activating incantations during the casting process, magic can acquire related properties.

Vizette was quite familiar with this, and after patiently listening to the entire process, she cast the spell without any hesitation.

“n (nauthiz)!”

His eyes emitted a gray light, forming a shape resembling a "?", as he lunged at the guardian deity floating in mid-air.

A layer of gray shell appeared, quickly covering the guardian spirit of the physical body completely. The ethereal, illusory fluctuations solidified, transforming into the shape of a statue.

“This is the ‘Spirit Box’…” Salazar Slytherin’s lips curled up. “Compared to Horcruxes, the Spirit Box has a unique attraction for souls that have been torn apart too much.”

Chapter 48 Tom Riddle is probably a Horcrux.

As Vizet's knowledge of magic increased, so did the number of associations she could make.

Based on Salazars-Slytherin's words, he speculated: "Because the soul stored in the Horcrux is not complete enough? So it craves a sufficiently rich emotional... septum?"

The magical principle it contains is actually similar to the "siphoning phenomenon";

As the name suggests, a fragment of the soul is a missing or incomplete soul.

When a fragment of a soul encounters sufficiently abundant emotions, it will naturally be attracted to them and subsequently accepted by the Spirit Guide Box, thus breaking away from its original Horcrux.

“Little Hawk, you are very clever!” Salazar Slytherin praised. “Also, you should try to weaken the Soul Fragment’s mobility as much as possible.”

"The best opportunity to use the Spirit Summoning Box is when the soul fragment is weak enough to support the body and must return to the Horcrux."

"One more thing, a soul fragment is just a soul fragment. The life force that sustains his actions does not actually belong to him, so don't be fooled by sweet words."

Vizette nodded. "Headmaster Slytherin, I've got it all covered!"

Salazar Slytherin nodded, then his expression suddenly changed, and he let out a long sigh. "It seems this is all we can do for today..."

Seeing Salazar Slytherin about to revert to his statue form, Vizzett quickly called out, "Headmaster Slytherin, what can I do to help you? Patronus Charm? Or Soul Soothing Potion?"

Salazar Slytherin gave Vizzet a deep look, his tone softening considerably. "If you don't mind the trouble, then give it a try!"

After leaving those words, Salazar Slytherin turned into a statue and returned to his original position.

Vizette exhaled, pulled out a parchment and turned it into an armchair, and sat down next to the statue.

"Call the gods to protect you!"

He raised his wand and cast the Patronus Charm, commanding his physical Patronus to circle around the statue, releasing waves of warmth.

He learned a lot of valuable lessons from Salazar Slytherin, and now that Salazar Slytherin was in trouble, he naturally wanted to do his part and offer any help he could.

"And soul soothing elixirs..." He took out his notebook and wrote a memo in a prominent place, "Not sure what kind of soul soothing elixirs I need... I'll prepare them all together!"

……

Vizette left the Mirror World and took out a bookmark to talk to Dumbledore.

[Headmaster Dumbledore, didn't you mention Tom Riddle from his student days? He could very well be a fragment of soul from a Horcrux.]

A few seconds later, Dumbledore's handwriting appeared on the bookmark. Compared to his previous handwriting, this time the handwriting was much more cursive and messy.

[A Horcrux? As far as I know, Horcruxes don't seem to possess such strong mobility. Why is this Horcrux so special? Can you be 100% certain that it's a Horcrux?]

"Headmaster Dumbledore, I can't be 100% sure, but this Horcrux is so special perhaps because... Voldemort's lack of skill in crafting Horcruxes caused him to tear apart too many souls."

[Did too many souls tear apart? An interesting deduction... If it's a Horcrux, then it's much more troublesome... Voldemort would definitely hide the Horcrux.]

"Headmaster Dumbledore, I've obtained a magical item that can draw out the souls of Horcruxes."

After a while, a slightly joking sentence appeared on the bookmark.

It seems I'm really getting old; I didn't expect you to have gone this far. In that case, go for it with confidence!

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

Summer has quietly arrived, which means that a school year is coming to an end.

In preparation for final exams, professors have assigned more homework, forcing students to devote their spare time to completing the heavy workload.

Besides tutoring Luna and her roommates, Vizette went to the Mirror World a few more times, opened the prepared Soul Soothing Potion, and poured it on the statue.

Although the specific effects are unknown, at least the statue absorbed it and it didn't spill onto the ground, which is good news.

……

Vizette also took half a day to accompany Professor McGonagall to the Ministry of Magic to register as an Animagus.

For Wizette to publish a paper on Animagus, she naturally needs to prove that she is indeed an Animagus in order to increase her credibility.

Very few Animagus were willing to register; even including Vizette, there were only eight names on the list.

Of the Animagus people that Vizet knew, at least three hadn't registered: Harry's father and two of his friends.

The Ministry of Magic staff in charge of registration were also surprised. They watched as Vizet checked several times before confirming that it was Vizet who had come to register, and not Professor McGonagall who was standing to the side.

“This is my name,” Professor McGonagall said with a hint of helplessness, pointing to a name. “You were the one who registered me back then, remember?”

“Oh…of course I remember! So it’s been that long?” The Ministry of Magic employee took off his reading glasses.

He kept rubbing his eyes, looking at Vizette and saying, "You look so young...you seem even younger than you were back then, Ms. Maddie..."

“I am Minerva McGonagall,” Professor McGonagall sighed, pointing to the name in the register. “Now that the registration is complete, we will be leaving.”

“Oh…okay…” the Ministry of Magic employee nodded. “Grimm…”

"Let's hurry up and go!" Professor McGonagall quickened her pace, using her footsteps to cover the words of the Ministry of Magic employee.

……

After Hagrid was taken away by the Ministry of Magic, his pet dog Tooth continued to live in the cabin.

If they have free time, Harry and Ron will come to Hagrid's Hut to take on the responsibility of feeding Tooth.

However, with the amount of homework piling up, even with Hermione's help, Harry and Ron were too busy to keep up and had to reluctantly ask Vizet and Luna to take care of Tooth.

Tooth is quite obedient; it usually stays around Hagrid's cabin and doesn't run around.

When Vizet and Luna arrived, he stuck out his tongue and rushed out of Hagrid's hut, quickly running to the meadow to greet them;

When it picks up Vizette and Luna, it will trot around them, wagging its tail and making "woof woof woof" sounds, as if to say, "When is Hagrid coming back?"

After a hearty meal, Ya Ya likes to lie on the ground, showing his belly to Vizette and Luna, sticking out his tongue and panting, with an expectant look in his eyes.

While Luna was tickling Yaya and Yaya was purring contentedly, Vizet would casually raise his wand to clean up the dead leaves and dust that had blown into the house.

Just as he was about to put the wand back in his pocket, he felt a warm sensation on his fingers. "Phoenix feather... Mr. Ferrenzer... It seems something is wrong?"

Chapter 49 Forbidden Forest Riot

Wizette raised his hand and called out to the warm spot on his fingers, "Mr. Ferenczer, it happened..."

Before he could finish speaking, the warmth of his fingers had already disappeared.

He closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment, and even the existence of the phoenix feathers became weaker and weaker, as if they were being absorbed and digested.

"What's wrong?" Luna noticed the change in Vizette's expression and immediately stepped forward to ask with concern, "Did something happen in the Forbidden Forest?"

“Yes! Something big might happen tonight…” Vizette frowned in thought for a moment, “Luna, could you give this to Professor McGonagall for me…”

He took out a pen and paper and wrote down the current situation and his speculations.

Luna glanced at the contents of the note. "You're planning to enter the Forbidden Forest?"

Wiese nodded. "At least we need to get to the bottom of things... Mr. Ferencze may also be in trouble."

Luna knew what was important and what wasn't. She clutched the note tightly in her hand, her expression becoming very serious. "I want to learn Animagus too, then you won't be able to do this anymore! Pinky promise..."

"Mm!" Vizette nodded, extending his little finger and hooking it with Luna's. "I promise I won't do that again!"

……

Watching Luna and Yaya's retreating figures, Vizette let out a breath.
