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

In this process, his focus is on the hawk moth pupa that will be used in the second step.

Regarding the hawkmoth pupa, Vizette's research focuses on the hawkmoth's mask after emerging from the pupa, which can protect the wizard and increase the success rate of the Animagus.

Lorenzo Flores's research focused differently; he concentrated on the pupa of the hawk moth itself.

Besides the magical property of "new life" that many people can perceive, he also discovered another magical property—inclusivity;

According to Lorenzo Flores' research, the magical property of "inclusion" mainly refers to the transformation of the hawk moth from a caterpillar to a moth in its life cycle.

During pupation, self-isolation and internal changes occur;

It is precisely because of the "inclusiveness" of the pupa that the caterpillar can relax and move forward bravely, completing the process of self-acceptance and growth in the process of becoming a moth.

Although Lorenzo Flores' research was still somewhat rudimentary, it gave Vezet a sense of sudden enlightenment.

The pupa possesses the characteristic of "inclusivity," which is an extremely novel direction that gave Wizette a sense of sudden enlightenment.

The ideas and discoveries recorded in the notebook are connected through its "inclusive" nature;

As her thoughts deepened, Wizette's mind wandered, oblivious to the increasingly tense situation at the seminar, as she moved forward in a new direction, exploring more possibilities.

……

As Lorenzo Flores finished sharing his research, a young European wizard stood up and said, "I think you're wrong!"

"The reason why the potion recipe contains the hawk moth pupa is actually for protection, not for any 'encompassing' magical property!"

Rebuked to his face by a young wizard, Lorenzo Flores's expression darkened. After scanning the young wizard from head to toe, he bluntly questioned, "Are you also an Animagus?"

“Of course!” The young wizard picked up his wand, pointed it at his heart, and chanted the spell, “Amado, Animo, Animado, Animagus!”

As the feathers appeared, the young wizard transformed into a blackbird, uttering several piercing "caw caws," and flapped his wings to fly into the air.

He hovered in mid-air for a while before finally returning to the ground and reverting to human form. He had only become an Animagus in the last six months and was still somewhat unfamiliar with the process.

Lorenzo Flores' complexion had recovered somewhat. "Say what you just said again..."

"No! Simply asking questions isn't enough; you must also provide a complete explanation of your reasons. You absolutely cannot speak like you did just now!"

“Alright!” The young wizard readily agreed, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before speaking, “As I just said, the magical property of the Ghostface Moth pupa is ‘protection,’ not ‘encompassing.’”

"This is because after the ghost-faced hawk moth emerges from its pupa, a skull-like face appears on its body. This face has a deterrent effect and can protect the ghost-faced hawk moth, allowing it to live better."

"When the Animagus transformation officially begins, the intense pain and the violent double heartbeat will inevitably cause fear."

"At this time, accidents are very easy to happen, which is why we need the Ghostface Hawkmoth pupa. It can effectively reduce this fear and provide protection for the wizard!"

……

“An interesting point!” Lorenzo Flores nodded, his expression returning to normal. “Is there anything else to add?”

“I have my own insights!” The young wizard puffed out his chest, looking proud. “I know it can provide protection, so I naturally stop being afraid!”

"The black guy earlier said that you need to associate with poisonous snakes and lions to toughen your will, but that's just asking for trouble! Once you understand the effects of the Animagus potion, you'll naturally be able to overcome your fear!"

"What do you mean by 'asking for trouble'?" The black man, who had been called out by the young wizard, stood up and questioned him with some dissatisfaction. "And what do you mean by 'one's own insights'?"

"At previous conferences, there were few people from Europe, and they rarely shared their own research findings. They were just stealing our research viewpoints..."

"Now do you think you've learned everything, and that more people have completed Animagus, so you think you can question us? Don't you think this behavior is a bit shameless?"

Since the start of this seminar, as European wizards have continued to raise questions, African wizards have also developed a lot of negative emotions.

The words spoken by the black wizard at this moment actually reflected the feelings of many African wizards, who felt that the frequent questioning by European wizards was like "biting your hand."

“We really do have ways to increase the success rate!” The young wizard blushed, seemingly realizing he had been too impulsive. “I’m the best example!”

He glanced at the European wizards on either side of him and named a few more, "Mr. Patrick Thayer, Miss Merriadne Plenkitt, Mr. Craig Tutley..."

As roll was called, several young-looking wizards stood up, raised their wands to their chests and chanted spells, transforming into various animals to prove their Animagus identity.

Seeing the several Animagus appear around him and hearing the surprised exclamations of the African wizards, the young wizard felt more confident than before.

He cleared his throat and continued, "See! They, like me, only became Animagus this year... That's the best proof!"

Chapter 112 Enables Animagus to Cast Spells

"So what?" an African wizard scoffed. "I do know a thing or two about you European wizards..."

“Your surnames… you must not be ordinary wizarding families, right? You have a foundation in magic, plus you’re all graduates…”

"Completing Animagus at this age is perfectly normal, isn't it? It's hardly any strong evidence!"

"And in our Waggadu, Africa... many students become Animagus before they even graduate, you all know that, right?"

"We have people like that too!" The young wizard's expression and tone became excited upon hearing this. He turned and searched through the crowd, quickly spotting someone and gesturing to greet them.

"He is Mr. Lovegood, the author of 'A Comprehensive Study to Improve the Success and Safety of Animagus Transformation: A Multi-Dimensional Analysis Based on Ritual Magic and Potion Materials'!"

Following the young wizard's gesture, the others noticed Vizet, who was standing quietly to the side.

At this moment, Vizet was extremely focused, his eyes completely on the notebook, holding the pen and writing something continuously;

He only looked up at his surroundings after he felt that the surroundings had become extremely quiet, with only the chirping of cicadas in summer.

He leaned closer to Luna and asked, "Is it my turn to speak?"

“No…” Luna shook her head gently, “but in a little while, they’ll probably all want you to say something…”

She spoke softly, briefly recounting what had happened: "Mr. Akimbad intervened, making many copies of 'Transfiguration Today,' and they're all reading your paper now."

“Arguments are quite common at seminars,” Professor McGonagall said. “For various reasons, European wizards are holding their breath.”

"Because of your paper, I can finally vent my anger. But those young people are still hot-blooded, so they speak quite directly."

The young wizard who had raised the question walked over and greeted him excitedly, "Mr. Lovegood, I am Magnus Gustafson!"

“Do you remember me? Midgard Island… If it weren’t for you being there last year, we would probably have been killed by that dark wizard.”

Wizette shook hands briefly and said calmly, "Hello, Mr. Gustafson..."

Magnus Gustafsson showed great enthusiasm as he talked about how he discovered the book "Transfiguration Today" and how he practiced Animagus;

Later, while traveling in other countries, he met other readers of "Today's Metamorphosis" and, inspired by Vizette, successfully completed the Animagus transformation.

One of his friends was from the Thayer family, a long-established wizarding family, and with his friend's help, he gained the opportunity to participate in the seminar.

He had recognized Vizette earlier, when Vizette was always with Professor McGonagall, so he didn't come over to say hello in order not to disturb Vizette.

Magnus Gustafsson said, "I actually learned about Animagus when I was studying at Durmstrang..."

"Someone tried to practice this advanced magic, but due to an accident, his body was covered in feathers... It took two years of treatment for him to finally recover."

"Animagus is such a difficult spell, but inspired by your paper, I feel that it might not be so difficult... Maybe I can give it a try!"

“Vizet…” Babajid Akinbad walked over. “Given the current situation, it’s your turn to speak. Everyone is eagerly awaiting your opinion.”

“I’ve also just finished some interesting ideas.” Vizette nodded, glanced at the contents of his notebook again, and walked up to the group only after making sure there were no problems.

"I am Wizette Lovegood, and it is a great honor to have the opportunity to share some of my thoughts with you all here..."

“Excuse me for interrupting… are you really Animagus?” an African shaman asked, raising his hand. “Although everyone says it is you… it’s really hard to believe.”

“The proof of Animagus is simple…” Vizette said, transforming into a golden eagle with incredible speed and then quickly reverting to human form, the whole process flowing smoothly and skillfully. “Sir, is that enough?”

“Thank you for your forgiveness for my intrusion.” The African wizard nodded. “I just read your paper…it’s very clear and well-organized…the ideas within it really impressed me!”

"I've only stood on the shoulders of giants and done something insignificant..." Vizette waved her hand and said, "Without the invaluable help of all the professors, I would have had a hard time completing this paper..."

“I understand very well that without the diligent research of everyone here and all those who came before me, I wouldn’t be able to enjoy all those ideas and perspectives about Animagus… Thank you very much!”

He bowed to the crowd, and, meeting their admiring gazes, continued, "This seminar has been very rewarding..."

"Mr. Lorenzo Flores's study of moth pupae and his conclusion of the magical property of 'inclusivity' has truly enlightened me..."

Lorenzo Flores coughed lightly, pursed his lips, and remained silent, accepting the stares of those around him.

A smile appeared on Vizette's face as he continued, "Based on the magical property of 'Containment'..."

"I've finally found the right approach... enabling Animagus... to cast magic as well!"

Before Wizette could finish speaking, the stadium erupted in uproar.

Animagus cannot cast spells; this is something that everyone understands after countless studies.

What Vizet said at this moment was tantamount to subverting everyone's understanding.

“Mr. Lovegood…” A Peruvian wizard frowned. “You just said ‘found the right approach,’ which means… this is just an idea?”

"It hasn't actually been achieved? Although I'd love to discuss this... the idea is too vague. I'd rather discuss things related to the paper. I also have some questions I'd like you to answer."

“Perhaps the facts are more convincing…” Vizet murmured, placing his notebook in front of him before transforming into a golden eagle.

He stood still, flapping his wings at the notebook in front of him. Without him touching the notebook, it slowly floated into the air.

With a gentle flap of his wings, the notebook floated a short distance before returning to his presence.

“That’s roughly the effect…” Vizette returned to human form, “It’s just that because of my special experience, I made countless thorough preparations before entering the final stage of Animagus…”

“Recreating these preparations is a difficult task, so I’ve been thinking about how to grant the wizards who complete the Animagus project the ability to cast spells…”

He let out a long breath, his voice louder than before, "Now, I have finally found a truly feasible solution!"
