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

The toad froze as the wand swung, its mouth agape and limbs dangling, as it swallowed a fifth of the wolfsbane potion.

After drinking the wolfsbane potion, the toad trembled violently all over, as if an electric current had passed through its body. Its body also became stronger than before due to the trembling.

The violent shaking soon stopped, and the toad seemed to calm down for a while. Snape waved his wand, causing the toad to lie flat on the potion table.

A few seconds later, the toad began to convulse violently, seemingly unable to control its body movements, its limbs kicking wildly on the table.

This strange swaying also disappeared quickly, and it seemed to return to normal, lying back on the table.

Vizette frowned slightly. The toad only seemed to have returned to normal, but he had a strange feeling. The seemingly calm toad seemed to have fallen into an even greater frenzy.

As if to verify Vizette's senses, the toad suddenly jumped forward, but its posture was extremely uncoordinated, with its limbs swinging wildly, as if it had suddenly forgotten how to jump.

Boom!

The toad crashed onto the potion table and remained motionless.

Vizette's brows furrowed even more. The toad in front of him, which had taken the wolfsbane potion, had lost its sparkle in its eyes, as if it had lost something and become an empty shell with only a pretty face.

Snape was not surprised at all. "Dissect it, don't get this messy."

Vizette noticed Snape's expression; from the moment he fed the toad the wolfsbane potion, he always had an air of ease and complete control.

Clearly, Snape had done his research beforehand, which is why he seemed so "in control".

Since Snape had specifically reminded him, Vizzet didn't dare to be negligent. He took out his wand from his pocket, pointed it in the direction of the toad, and cast the Bubble Head Charm, "Water-to-Air Charm!"

A bubble about half a meter in diameter appeared, enveloping the toad.

Vizette pressed her wand against the bubble and uttered the second spell, "Crush!"

The cutting spell was like a fuse that ignited explosives; with just a small cut on the toad, it quickly swelled up, like an inflated balloon.

Bang!

A muffled explosion rang out, and the next second the "balloon" burst. The toad's body instantly shattered into countless pieces, turning into countless blood mists that dyed the bubble a shocking crimson.

Snape took out another cup and filled it with the wolfsbane potion.

"That's all for today." He said, holding a cup in one hand and pointing to the blood-red bubbles with the other. "Clean this up, and you can leave."

"Professor Snape," Wizett asked. "May I... stay here a little longer to study this?"

"Suit yourself," Snape said, then left the office with the cup containing the wolfsbane potion.

……

In experiments involving potions, toads were always an indispensable element, so there was always a cage of toads in Snape's office.

Vizette plans to conduct a new round of research on the toad using the ancient magic spell "Ancient Magic: Soul-Controlling Charm".

The inspiration for this idea naturally came from the wolfsbane potion, the second part of the magic potion he had just brewed.

Because the first part of the Wolfsbane potion was kept secret, Vizet could only start with the second part to try and find out what had happened.

Since the composition of the second potion is very complex, it not only involves magical properties such as "purification" and "awakening", but also takes into account strengthening the connection between the body and the soul.

Putting all this together, one thing becomes clear—Damocles Bell, as the inventor of the wolfsbane potion, created it based on the concept of the soul transformation of werewolves.

Ancient Magic: Soul-Controlling Charm allows Vizette to use ancient magical powers to delve into the toad's soul, enabling him to observe what happened after the toad ingested the wolfsbane potion.

Having figured this out, Vizzet could no longer suppress her curiosity. She gripped her wand tightly in her hand, waved it gently, and took a toad out of its cage.

He also drank one-fifth of a cup of wolfsbane potion, using this dosage because of Snape's earlier release;

Before Wizette came into contact with the wolfsbane medicine, Snape had already studied it, and the dosage of "one-fifth of a cup" should be the most suitable dosage for observation.

Taking advantage of the toad's violent convulsions, Vizette cast the Ancient Magic: Soul Control Spell, directly controlling the toad;

In addition to "Ancient Magic: Soul-Controlling Spell", he also used the Magic Eye to gain a more comprehensive understanding;

The moment he gained control, he felt something strange, like sweating profusely all over his body after intense exercise.

However, what is being pumped at this moment does not seem to be sweat but blood, which is why toads are stronger.

In addition to this "pumping" impact, Wizette could also feel the toad twitching and swaying, as if it were enduring a sensation;

This sensation is similar to healing a wound, with a strange stinging and itching, which makes the toad constantly stretch and twitch its limbs, kicking and stomping on the potion table.

Next comes the final exception.

Wizette was mentally prepared and focused more intently.

Just then, he suddenly felt a pulling sensation, as if he were being pulled from one part of the toad to another.

This pulling sensation only lasts for a moment; if he hadn't been focused enough, he probably wouldn't have noticed it.

"Cuck!"

Just like in the previous experiment, the toad suddenly jumped forward, then collapsed onto the potion table and remained motionless.

Surprising!

This was the first feeling Vizet had after dispelling the "Ancient Magic: Soul-Controlling Spell".

As an ancient magic derived from the Soul-Stealing Curse, "Ancient Magic: Soul-Controlling Curse" should have extremely strong control over all kinds of living beings;

However, this extremely strong control seemed to fail for a moment;

Vizette did not believe that this was a problem with "Ancient Magic: Soul-Controlling Spells";

It's likely that the toad's body underwent some kind of mutation after consuming the wolfsbane potion, causing a momentary loss of control over "Ancient Magic: Soul-Controlling Spell".

Snape returned to his office. "Any findings?"

“Professor Snape, I think the wolfsbane potion…” Vizet said carefully, “not only works on the soul level, but it should also have an effect on the body.”

"Hmm!" Snape nodded slightly. "Let's go back! This is what we'll be studying later!"

……

Vizette gently closed the office door, and Snape glanced at the doorway, pursing his lips involuntarily.

"As expected... it's just as convenient as before, allowing us to get to the point much faster!"

Chapter 176 Teahouse and Mysterious Corridor?

On a weekend morning, bright sunlight streamed through the elegant windows into the Ravenclaw common room.

Luna and her roommates sat by the window, glancing out from time to time, their attention focused on a stone path.

The path was filled with students chatting amongst themselves, all with the common goal of reaching the nearby village of Hogsmeade.

Although they couldn't truly see the entirety of Hogsmeade through the windows of the Ravenclaw Tower, it didn't stop them from yearning for it and trying to imagine what this pure wizarding village would look like.

School is a place for learning. When learning takes up most of the time, things that are different from learning tend to attract students more easily. Hogsmeade Village is a good example.

Amyca Miller reluctantly looked away, saying with a hint of resentment, "That Michael guy is so mean! Knowing we couldn't go, he specifically brought up Hogsmeade last night!"

Emma Hitchens also looked away, gently shaking her head as she said, "Although we can visit Hogsmeade during summer vacation, it's a completely different experience than this..."

“Hogsmeade Village…” Melanina Burst sighed, then lowered her voice and said, “I ran into Prefect Krivat on my way back to the common room yesterday!”

"You look so mysterious..." Olivia Yaxley leaned closer curiously, "Have you discovered her secret?"

“It’s not really a secret…” Melanina Burst continued in a low voice, “She went to Hogsmeade today, and it seems she’s planning to go to Lady Patiff’s Tea House.”

"Madame Parth's Tea House?" Emika Miller interjected excitedly. "Aki told me about it too! It's a lovely place!"

"It's always steaming inside... pink steam! And it smells nice! There are also lots of cute, chubby bow decorations inside!"

"There's magic on the ceiling too, with those cute flying angels hanging there. The angels have shimmering golden hair, hold mini flower baskets, and sprinkle pink confetti on the guests."

“Oh…I see!” Olivia Yaxley exclaimed, covering her mouth and chuckling. “Madame Patif’s Tea House…I know what Prefect Crevat was up to!”

“But I’m still a bit worried…” Melanina Burst shrugged. “Prefect Weasley doesn’t seem to be a good fit for Mrs. Patiff’s Tea House.”

Upon hearing the word "Weasley Prefect," Luna shook her head slightly with a faint smile, despite Percy's warning to Fred and George not to spread the word.

However, Fred and George occasionally let slip that, and since Percy and Penelope were both prefects, many students already knew about their relationship.

Emma Hitchens asked in bewilderment, "Actually, I don't understand why, if so many people already know, Prefect Weasley would still keep it a secret?"

Amyca Miller tilted her head and thought for a moment, "I don't know...maybe it's to maintain a perfect image?"

"Anyway, I heard it from George. Weasley's goal is to go to the Ministry of Magic, so he's very strict with himself..."

Melanina Bursted chimed in, "With Weasley's grades, I think it should be fine, right?"

“It’s the weekend, let’s not talk about such boring things!” Olivia Yaxley interrupted, “especially since it’s about other people.”

"Just like Amica said, Madame Partif's Tea House feels like a wonderful place! When you sit down, it feels like lovely angels are flying overhead..."

Emika Miller added, "By the way! The teahouse has round tables covered with pretty lace tablecloths in lovely colors!"

"It is said that Lady Parthoff collaborated with Honey Duke, so the various desserts sold in the teahouse are all very delicious, and the tea is also very good!"

“That would truly be a wonderful place…” Olivia Yaxley narrowed her eyes slightly, “where I could pour myself a steaming cup of tea…”

"Then order two slices of chocolate cake, and hold a copy of 'Wizarding Weekly,' sharing the interesting stories inside—that would be a really great feeling..."

……

As Luna's roommates chattered excitedly around Madame Patif's Tea House, many questions arose in her mind.

Hot tea, snacks, magazines, and conversation—these don't seem like difficult things to do, so why insist on going to Madame Patef's Tea House?
