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

"Yes!" Fred and George straightened up simultaneously, revealing wicked smiles as they shouted in unison, "Oliver Wood!"

Before Neville could react, he stumbled back a step after hearing their shouts.

"Ouch!" Fred and George exclaimed, quickly grabbing Neville's hands to prevent him from falling to the ground.

……

Neville patted his chest, still shaken, and after confirming that the two were alright, he quickly ran back to Hannah's side to continue studying the magical plants they had just brought back.

Starting with their visit to Wizette at the school hospital last semester, the two suddenly had a breakthrough and gradually found their direction in their studies;

Furthermore, Wizette's paper published in The Voice of Hogwarts this academic year further inspired the two of them, making them understand their interests and direction even more clearly.

If there's anything lacking, it's probably a lack of confidence. They need Fred and George to "encourage" them before they can make up their minds to "charge forward with their eyes closed."

Neville and Hannah have slightly different areas of expertise in the subject of herbalism.

Neville was clearly more interested in the cultivation and propagation of magical plants, and he was willing to patiently take care of all kinds of magical plants.

He also mentioned that when he was a child, he liked to play in his great-uncle Algi's garden and would help him dig holes and fill them with soil to plant new plants in the garden.

It was precisely because of this that, despite his lack of magical talent, his great-uncle Algi felt that he was not a Squib and repeatedly tested him, trying to get him to show his magical talent.

It wasn't until he was eight years old that Neville finally revealed his magical talent due to an accident;

Neville's relatives wept with joy, and his great-uncle Algi was overjoyed. He even bought him a toad as a pet, namely the toad Raef, who often liked to escape.

Perhaps influenced by the Leaky Cauldron, Hannah developed a strong interest in grafting magical plants after realizing her passion for herbalism.

According to her, it might be because of the "mixing and matching" service offered by the Leaky Cauldron that she has a strong interest in "mixing and matching" various magical plants;

I want to try grafting different magical plants to see if it will produce a "one plus one is greater than two" effect.

Neville and Hannah complement each other to some extent;

After all, to truly complete the grafting of magical plants, ensure their survival, and achieve the desired effect, meticulous care of the grafted plants is essential.

Sprout was very supportive of them and would promptly provide answers whenever they encountered any confusion.

……

Vizette looked up at Fred and George, a slight smile playing on her lips. "You two got another 'Wood the Devil' treatment?"

"You still dare to laugh?" Fred raised his eyebrows, walked to the storage shelf next to him, and took out two bottles of Coolick. "It's all because of you!"

He gestured toward George and casually tossed one of the bottles of Coollick.

“Yes! It’s all because of you!” George caught it without hesitation, opened the Coolick bottle and took a sip. “When you dream about Wood at night?”

“No.” Vizette shook her head slightly. “I usually sleep through the night.”

“I feel that Wood right now…” Fred also took a sip of Coolick, white smoke coming out of his ears, “maybe defeating Ravenclaw is more important than graduating.”

George flicked the white smoke with his finger, turning it into smoke rings. "Do you know... how many versions of his 'Vizet Training' are there now?"

“Hmm…” Vizet pursed her lips and pondered, finally shaking her head. “I don’t know.”

After the start of this academic year, Oliver Wood came up with a newly developed training plan and led the Gryffindor Quidditch team in special training.

The so-called "special training for Wizette" was not even a nickname given by Fred and George, but a real name written on the tactics board;

However, Oliver Wood did not say that, but only mentioned that it was "new school year, new training", and the tactical name was something the two of them happened to see;

The special training is divided into four parts. The first part is mainly to train Harry so that he can find the Golden Snitch more quickly in order to end the game as soon as possible.

The second part is to train Fred and George, improve their offensive efficiency, and harass Wizette as much as possible through roaming balls;

The third part is training the remaining players. Fred and George will launch an attack on Wizette, so the other players must avoid the ball on their own.

The final part of the training was focused on Oliver Wood himself, who needed to be more alert and react faster to prevent Wizette from scoring.

During this process, Oliver Wood will continuously update the training plan based on the training results.

……

Luna guessed with great interest, "Could it be that it's been updated to... version thirteen?"

“You guessed right! But…” Fred pulled out a red magic firework, as if giving Luna a red card, “Professional athletes are prohibited from participating!”

“Wood is still training…” George stretched. “He said that because of the presence of Dementors, the weather at Hogwarts might not be very good for the foreseeable future.”

“So he plans to train more…” Fred said, looking at Vizet. “He thinks that this kind of weather will also affect your performance.”

George shrugged. "Honestly, I don't think it will affect you much... After all, you're a Chaser, not a Seeker... I'm afraid Harry would have a harder time in this kind of weather..."

Fred and George quickly recovered, and although they straightened their backs, they looked even more worried.

The OWL exams await them, but both of them are extremely unbalanced in their studies. In subjects like Charms, they perform very well.

In subjects like History of Magic, where rote memorization can earn points, they are more likely to lose points.

Almost every academic year, they would stay up all night memorizing the contents of "History of Magic" before the exam, forcibly raising their History of Magic exam score to "A-", a just passing grade.

"The Fairy Rebellion is an extremely important chapter in the history of wizarding magic... As a series of rebellions launched by fairies, these rebellions revealed the fairies' prejudice and dissatisfaction with wizards..."

"The goblin rebellion of 1612 was one of the most important events in the goblin revolt... This rebellion took place near the village of Hogsmeade in the Scottish Highlands..."

Fred held "The History of Magic" and read it aloud listlessly until he unconsciously yawned, then he raised his head and stretched.

He looked in the direction of Vizette and Luna. Beside Vizette was a Rune scroll, and she was happily translating it, with a smile on her lips.

Luna, on the other hand, rested her chin on her hand, seemingly drawing something, with a very similar smile on her lips;

Just as Vizette finished translating a passage, she looked at Luna, who also turned her head slightly. The two seemed to have been chatting about some interesting things from the ancient scrolls, and they both laughed.

Faced with this situation, Fred sighed deeply, as if all his strength had been drained, and slumped onto the table, continuing to read with a bitter expression.

"During the rebellion, a small tavern in Hogsmeade was used as a command post by the wizards... The goblins caused the wizards great difficulties with their extremely cruel methods and practices..."

Fred was already daydreaming, so it was naturally difficult for George to concentrate either. He held the quill pen between his lips and looked equally distressed.

Until he heard a cracking sound, two exclamations, and saw something flying towards him;

"Watch this!" George's eyes lit up. Before he could even see what it was, he moved quickly, slamming his textbook shut and swinging it at the thing flying toward him.

Swish!

After the object made contact with his textbook, it emitted a slightly dry, soft sound, drew a beautiful spark, and then flew towards the direction where Vizet and Luna were.

Vizette raised her hand and pinched the middle of the object with perfect precision. Only then did George and Fred realize that it was a magic wand.

"Just tell me how to win?" George said helplessly, spreading his hands. "You can catch this? Tell me how to win?"

“Wood won’t care about this… You absolutely can’t tell him about this.” Fred shrugged. “Otherwise, ‘Special Training for Vizette’ will be updated to its fourteenth version immediately.”

……

Vizette examined the wand closely. It had a weathered look to it, with the natural grain of wood and numerous burn marks from magic.

These magical burn marks on the wand are not due to potions or spells, but are genuine burn marks from curses.

After a quick assessment, Vizet had a basic understanding of the wand's condition.

Ash wood, 11 and 3/4 inches, unicorn tail hair.

Ash wood is a relatively special wand wood. It usually works best with its first owner. If there is a subsequent user, it is often difficult for the wand to work properly.

Thinking about it this way, Neville's behavior in class seems to have some reasonable explanation.

……

Neville and Hannah rushed over, their faces flushed, and said, "We're...we're so sorry..."

"Are you alright?" Vizet asked, recalling the explosion. "What happened?"

"It's nothing!" Hannah shook her head repeatedly. "We were opening the peas in the bubble pods, and several peas popped out..."

“It’s all my fault… I didn’t control my strength well,” Neville said with some self-reproach. “It’s been like this lately. I was fine last semester… but recently I’ve started to lose control again.”

"Out of control?" Vizet handed the wand to Neville. "Neville, this wand... was left to you by someone very important to you?"

He came to this conclusion mainly because of the burn marks from the curse on it, and the sense of vicissitude it conveyed.

“Yes!” Neville took the wand. “This is my father’s wand.”

“I see…” Vizet said thoughtfully. “Neville, what do you think of this wand?”

"How does it feel?" Neville scratched his head. "It feels...like my grandma? Always pushing me forward..."

“My magical talent has never been very good…” His ears turned bright red, “I’ve never been able to use it well…”

"Grandma told me that Dad was absolutely amazing when he used this wand! The magic was both precise and powerful..."

"It's completely different from when I used it..." he said dejectedly. "I messed up a lot of things before and didn't really get it working properly..."

“Perhaps…” Vizet suggested, “like you said, just use it as a reminder to your elders, and then get a different wand.”

"Change your wand?" Neville looked surprised, as if he had never considered this before.

“Yes!” Vizette nodded. “A wand can certainly be like an elder, making you aware of your shortcomings and spurring you on to keep moving forward…”

“Yes!” Luna nodded. “Although the Moonfox likes to stay in its cave where it can find comfort, it always waits for the opportunity to bask in the moonlight, which is what it truly desires.”
