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

The red light illuminated the entire room, and when the light faded, Lucius collapsed in the corner.

Vizette gripped his wand tightly, staring intently at the wizard's mouth, ready to intervene immediately should the wizard make any further outrageous moves.

The wizard muttered, "That should be him... All I need to do is cast a cleansing spell on him, is it that simple? He'll be brand new!"

Having done all this, the wizard left with light steps, and Vizet revealed himself.

"Looks like they've been bribed..." he muttered, looking down at the Hellfire Elixir in the glass bottle. "What they want to cleanse is probably this... So it really was a fake death?"

He pointed his wand at Lucius, "Hanging thought! Revive quickly!"

He had just cast a forgetting spell on Lucius to avoid any accidents and to prevent his whereabouts from being exposed.

Lucius slowly awoke, letting out a painful groan. "Three Stunning Curses in two days! Even more than ten years ago, I was never treated like this!"

He saw Vizette's figure and immediately curled up. "Dark...Dark Lord, what just happened? Was the person who cast the spell on me trying to harm me?"

“He’s here for this person.” Vizette held up the glass bottle. “Either he’s planning to frame you, or he’s planning to frame that third-party force.”

“A third party?” Lucius asked, puzzled. “I…don’t understand…”

“When I was extracting your memories just now, I also confirmed something else,” Vizet explained. “Your memories haven’t been altered.”

"Under normal circumstances, if they interrogated you, would you recount your entire experience?"

“Of course! That group attacked first…” Lucius suddenly realized, “Now I understand! But what was their purpose?”

“I don’t know, but the Magic Congress is not trustworthy.” Vizet shook his head. “To ensure your safety, I need to modify your memories.”

Lucius shook his head uneasily. "Modify my memories?"

Vezet nodded and pressed his wand against Lucius's temple. "I will modify all memories related to the Living Hell Potion, and all memories related to me."

"This is just a temporary change. Once things are resolved, I will help you restore your memory... The less you know and the more you meet their requirements, the safer you will be."

Lucius closed his eyes and obediently nodded. "Okay!"

He had no way to resolve the current predicament, and given that the Magic Congress was indeed unsafe, he had no choice but to trust Vizette...

Chapter 83 It's far too easy for wizards to commit crimes!

Neon lights flashed on both sides of the street, and huge posters were hung in major theaters. Spotlights shone on the posters to make them clearer and attract more audiences.

A long queue had already formed outside the theater, with people standing in small groups, discussing the upcoming play.

Although night has fallen, Broadway is as bright as day. For those who come here, their lives are only just beginning at this moment.

Vizette walked amidst the dazzling light and shadow, sorting through the information she had gleaned from her conversation with Lucius.

……

Firstly, it is highly likely that the current head of the Appaloosa family is not dead, but has faked his death using the Living Hell Potion.

The most direct way to rescue Lucius is to find the current head of the Appaloosa family and hand him over to the Magic Council to reveal the truth.

……

Secondly, one cannot completely trust the Magic Congress; otherwise, there wouldn't have been a situation where staff members were bribed to come and remove Lucius's robes.

If the current head of the Appaloosa family can be found, it will be necessary to carefully consider who should handle the matter and when it should be handed over.

……

Third, he consulted the former Guardian Serena Pendragon, and it is now clear that the third-party force that attacked Lucius was not them;

Currently, they and the main force of the Isaiah Society are engaged in fierce battles in the Middle East, but it cannot be ruled out that some subordinate organizations are stationed in New York, secretly plotting something.

……

According to Serena Pendragon, the Isaiah Society originally planned to launch attacks on New York and Mumbai on February 26 and March 12, respectively.

Serena Pendragon, acting on Grindelwald's impromptu prophecy, made advance preparations around Mumbai, and they successfully thwarted the attack that might have taken place in March.

After that, Isaiah would fight and retreat, returning to the Middle East in a protracted war, and engaging in guerrilla warfare with Serena Pendragon and her people;

Perhaps because they need to focus all their efforts on dealing with Serena Pendragon, the Isaiah's planned attack in New York has not yet taken place.

Serena Pendragon suggested that since Vizette had discovered something unusual, it was necessary to raise an alarm and try to investigate.

Serena Pendragon and her team are currently short-staffed and therefore cannot provide personnel assistance at this time.

However, they are actively contacting people in New York, and will immediately notify Wizette if anyone can help with the investigation.

……

Looking at Serena Pendragon's slightly unconventional handwriting, Vizette had a feeling... they were probably having a great time fighting in the Middle East.

The Isaiahs are more complex than imagined. Although their main force is tied down by Serena Pendragon, their branches are still spread all over the world, but they don't have that much execution power and are usually in a dormant state.

Serena Pendragon's approach was to gradually erode the Isaiah's power by using its branch forces in each direct confrontation.

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

Vizette carefully put away the notebook that had been used to contact Serena Pendragon, turned into a street, and transformed into a phoenix, disappearing into the flames.

Guided by Lucius's memory, he appeared in a dark and dilapidated alley.

This is the alley Lucius passed through on his way to the banquet. There were no police tapes around it, but a Muggle-expelling spell was cast to prevent homeless people from living there or even refusing to leave, thus violating the laws of secrecy.

After checking the outside to make sure there were no extra alarm spells inside, Vizette entered the room through the large hole that had been blown open.

Traces of the room's interior have been preserved. The once luxuriously decorated room has been damaged, with rubble and debris everywhere. The exquisite mahogany dining table is covered in dust and looks extremely old.

"Traces revealed!"

Vizette raised her wand, and as she chanted the spell, a puff of golden smoke flew from the tip of the wand, forming a vortex in the air.

The golden vortex spun slowly, making a rustling sound, but it didn't settle for a long time, clearly indicating that all the magical traces here had been destroyed.

"So that's how it is? It's getting more and more suspicious..." Vizette murmured. "Since the traces have been destroyed, why not try adding ancient magical power?"

If conventional magic is ineffective, then try adding ancient magical power, which often produces extraordinary results.

"Stop the curse immediately!" He dispelled the original golden vortex and began his second attempt.

"Traces revealed!" As the core of the silent man stirred, the golden vortex reappeared, and this time it finally reacted differently.

The golden vortex scattered countless golden dusts outwards, which clumped together to form moving figures and various magical trajectories.

Vizette frowned slightly, gripping her wand tightly to maintain the tracking spell. "Some traces have been destroyed, preserving the magical trail of a third party..."

He looked ahead along the magical trajectory, and saw that only one of the trajectories was in a different direction; it must have been the stun spell that was aimed at Lucius.

The remaining magical trajectory all pointed to the other side of the dining table, which was the current head of the Appaloosa family.

The current head of the Appaloosa family was prepared; several magical trajectories appeared from the direction of the kitchen to help block the magic from the third-party force...

Vizette deduced the course of the battle based on the magical traces;

Although the third-party force consisted of only two people, their combat strength was extremely impressive. Appaloosa's side had as many as seven wizards, yet the two sides fought evenly.

However, having more people still had the advantage. After several rounds of fighting, the wizard from the third-party force was the first to be injured and then fled the place.

Appaloosa's side cleaned up the mess, eliminating all remaining magical traces, ultimately creating the scene Lucius saw upon waking.

……

Vizette walked out of the room and stood beside a small pit.

He picked up his wand and waved it at the small pit, but nothing materialized at the tip.

"The third-party force was very cautious...very professional...because they even used magic to clean up the bloodstains from the injury...and they did a very clean job..."

He looked ahead in the direction of the small pit, but no similar pit appeared. "That magic is quite powerful; the wound should bleed continuously..."

"The situation was urgent, they probably didn't have time to treat the wound immediately... but they didn't wipe away the blood or leave it exposed... Did they collect it with magic?"

"Traces revealed!"

Vizette cast the Tracking Charm again, and the golden powder arced all the way to the end of the alley.

The magical traces at the end of the alley are quite interesting, showing two huge vortexes, which are traces of the Apparition Charm.

Within one of the vortexes, a strange mark emerged, vaguely resembling a triangle.

Vizette rubbed her temples. "Now I understand... why the Ministry of Magic needs so many staff... with Polyjuice Potion and Apparition Charms, it's just too easy to commit a crime!"

Chapter 84 Disguise: Magus Tonks

Vizette used ancient magical powers to establish a special magical connection by using shared memories as a bond;

Due to the unique nature of ancient magical power, this special magical connection was almost exclusively between him and Luna.

In this special memory space, Vizette accessed the memories from last night and presented Luna with the relevant memories of investigating that dilapidated room.

Following Vizet's memory, Luna watched until the very end, her gaze settling on the two enormous vortexes—traces of the Apparition Charm.

She stood on tiptoe, carefully examining the strange traces floating in mid-air, and remained silent for a long time.

This is also what Vizet cares about most. This triangular mark is very special. It doesn't look like the shape of a certain kind of prop. The lines are much softer.

"It looks...like a chin?" Luna blinked, finally making her own judgment.

"Chin?" Vizette murmured, following Luna's prompting, "This is a person's chin? Why are there magical traces..."
