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

“I just happened to learn some things…” Vezel nodded. “If those Magic Congress officials are not mistaken, things are probably a bit tricky.”

“I heard them discussing this: the head of the Appaloosa family was poisoned, and their suspects… are not the native wizards.”

……

"Poisoned!" Narcissa and Draco's expressions changed simultaneously.

“Dad…would never do that!” Draco shook Narcissa’s hand. “Right, Mom?”

Narcissa looked terrible, but she still comforted him firmly, "Of course, he's not that kind of person!"

She bowed to Vizzet and the others and said, "Thank you so much for letting me know such important news... Without Hogwarts' guarantee, things would probably be much more complicated."

"However, the situation is still not optimistic... so please allow me to leave first. I need to contact a friend to see if I can learn more..."

Professor McGonagall watched the mother and son leave, then called to Vizette and Luna, "Let's go back and rest too..."

……

Before returning to his room, Vizette asked Luna how she felt.

At least in his view, the whole series of events seemed to be more complicated than he imagined.

After thinking for a moment, Luna replied very seriously, "Perhaps it's like many rivers... flowing fast or slow, rushing along... but always flowing into the sea."

“Yes! I understand!” Vizette nodded. “If it’s related to me, it will eventually come back to me.”

He always trusted Luna's words completely.

Since Luna has this feeling, we should follow the current line of thought and identify the mastermind as the Isaiah Society.

……

Back in her room, Vizette sat in a chair, reflecting on everything that had happened that afternoon.

Arriving in New York and entering the Magical Congress, those memories of watching "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" in his previous life became clear.

The environment around Woolworth Building is probably the place that differs the most from my memories of my past life.

Inside the Magical Congress, the scenes from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them correspond one-to-one;

The hall was as grand as a cathedral...

A giant clock marked with "Magic Exposure Threat Level"...

A portrait of the president of the Magical Congress...

A circling owl and busy employees...

Everything felt incredibly familiar to him, with hardly any discrepancies.

“The Magical Congress doesn’t have Azkaban… their prison should be in Woolworth Building…”

Vizette took out her wand and pressed it against her temple, constantly processing the memories from "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".

"The Magic Council's prison... is a simple... dark place with many stone pillars... separated by iron bars..."

"Whether it's the lobby or other areas, they're all very bright... so they shouldn't be on the ground... meaning... a place that fits this description must be underground..."

Recalling this point, Vizet took out Dumbledore's bookmark and wrote down everything that had happened that day.

Finally, one question remains: "Headmaster Dumbledore, I apologize for bothering you."

Does the Woolworth Building, where the Magical Congress is located, have underground working areas, similar to the basement levels of the English Ministry of Magic?

Chapter 80 Werewolf Research Notes

The content on the bookmark disappeared, but no new content appeared, presumably because Dumbledore also needed to verify it.

Vizette placed the bookmark beside her, making sure she could immediately detect any changes.

He pulled a notebook out of his backpack and continued studying its contents.

This is a notebook given to Marlowe Fou as a token of his gratitude. As an authority on werewolf research, the notebook covers all aspects of werewolves and is of great research value.

Werewolves specifically refer to humans infected with "wolfification," who transform into wolf form when the full moon rises.

For most people infected with "wolf syndrome", turning into wolf form during a full moon is a painful experience because it is an uncontrollable process. Even if they are locked in a room, they will still turn into wolf form.

After transforming into wolf form, they are dominated by a strange bloodlust, attacking all humans they encounter, showing no mercy even to their own relatives and friends.

When they regained consciousness, they were able to recall everything they had experienced after transforming into wolf form.

……

Based on his observations of werewolves, Marlowe Foufon mentioned a conjecture in his notes: perhaps werewolves are unfinished Animagus.

He mentioned that after transforming into wolf form, the color of his fur would be similar to the color of his hair before the transformation, which is similar to how Animagus would possess certain characteristics of his pre-transformation form after transformation.

He also mentioned that he would lose consciousness after transforming into wolf form, and that when Animagus completed his first transformation, he was also "dominated by animal instincts".

He had absolutely no idea how to verify this conjecture;

He devoted too much time to the werewolf, recording his observations in his notebook, but lacked the ability to go further and try to help the werewolf completely escape its suffering.

Damocles Belby, the inventor of the wolfsbane potion, also read this notebook. Based on the notebook and his own knowledge of potions, he was able to develop the formula for the wolfsbane potion.

……

After the summer vacation, Wizette would often take out Marlowe Fouf's notes and read and think about them from time to time, as if they were extracurricular reading materials.

After much deliberation and reflection, he finally picked up his pen: "The Animagus during its first transformation... and the werewolf who always loses its mind... only transforms during the full moon cycle..."

Next to the Animagus conjecture, he wrote his own conjecture as a reminder to facilitate future research.

Just as a magic wand contains cyclical ritual magic, if a werewolf constantly repeats the cycle of "being dominated by animal instincts," it means that it too is trapped in a cycle.

We use the full moon cycle to protect ourselves, to complete the Animagus transformation... The full moon brings a unique power... Werewolf wizards are influenced by the full moon...

The full moon can influence the tides and also generate powerful, mysterious forces... Perhaps they transform into wolf form during the full moon because of its allure...

“Attraction…” Vizette murmured, “Being transformed into a werewolf and dominated by the desire to kill should indicate that ‘wolfification’ affects not only the body but also the soul.”

He drew a symbol and wrote after it: "Because of the allure of the full moon… it stirred a certain bloodlust within the werewolf… and it penetrated his soul, dominating everything…"

"The full moon will be here in a few days. I've heard there are quite a few werewolf wizards here... If I could happen to meet one, and do some research... it would be great to see Mr. Frozen's observations with my own eyes!"

……

"Full moon... werewolf wizard... no!"

Vizette frowned, suddenly realizing something. He quickly picked up his wand and pressed it against his temple, trying to process some of his previous memories.

"Just as I thought... Hagrid's memory... the injuries Professor Snape suffered... the full moon... their motive for becoming Animagus..."

He reopened his notebook, looking at the entries about how he behaved in wolf form: "Werewolves only hurt humans... they also hurt Muggles... but they prefer to hurt wizards... they won't hurt animals!"

“I see, that’s why they practice Animagus... so they can keep the werewolf company... Moonface... is he a werewolf... like something Gryffindor would do.”

Vizette shook his head slightly. If he encountered a werewolf classmate and had a good relationship with him, he would most likely try to help him solve his "werewolf syndrome" first.

Just like Luna once said when he first transformed into a phoenix, she would accompany him to find a solution;

If the problem truly cannot be solved, then spending time with someone becomes a last resort, but also a necessary choice.

The reason why Vizette wanted to study werewolves was for the same reason; it was a kind of foresight.

He certainly wanted to help Luna and make her a magical beast, Animagus, but he had to think of a way out to ensure that Luna would not be harmed in the process.

If wolfification is similar to animagus, then resolving or alleviating wolfification would provide an alternative solution to deal with potential unforeseen circumstances.

……

Vizette put down her wand, recalling the familiar face in the Magical Congress. "That person... it was Moonface, the 'Lupin' Hagrid mentioned. He looks so weathered..."

However, this is quite normal. Due to the danger of werewolves after they transform into human form, coupled with their ability to spread wolf-like diseases, they are not well-liked by others and their lives become impoverished and destitute, which is hard to avoid.

Just then, Dumbledore's bookmark finally changed, and a series of words appeared on it.

I've confirmed with several old friends that Woolworth Building has six underground floors, with the prison located on the fifth basement level.

The prison was only protected by one type of magic: anti-apparition magic, which was designed to counter wizards. This was done because the prison was located deep underground.

If a wizard attempts to escape using this pretext, more charges will be leveled against them. If the charges are serious enough, they will be dragged to the sixth underground level, where, in addition to interrogation rooms, there are also execution chambers for direct execution.

If you want to get in, consider doing so after 8 PM. The environment on the basement level isn't great, and even if the staff need to work overtime, they won't stay past 7 PM at the latest.

Vizette looked at the smooth handwriting on the bookmark, "Anti-Apparition magic only for wizards... then it won't hinder my movements..."

He was basically certain that Dumbledore knew his intentions, which was why he had explained everything so clearly, even including specific times.

Vizette put the bookmark back in the notebook, stood up, and slowly stretched. "After all, he's my 'loyal' subordinate..."

"You even gave me a house-elf... It's only right and wrong... I should go see you and find out what's going on with you..."

Chapter 81. While enjoying dinner and chatting, they were suddenly attacked...

Lucius Malfoy never imagined that he would be attacked while having dinner and chatting with his wife and children outside England.

He only had time to hear a loud bang before he was struck by a red light and lost consciousness.

When he woke up, Appaloosa was lying on his back in the chair, his face deathly pale, looking as if he were dead.

As Lucius approached Appaloosa to check for breathing, a group of wizards appeared in the doorway and raised their wands at him.
