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

“They’re quite active…” Vizet nodded in agreement.

There are many blank books in the corridor. These blank books need to be burned to break their protection and obtain the memories inside.

Some of these memories come from other wizards, recording how they created or improved certain spells;

The other part comes from Serena Pendragon, which is her memory of fighting dark wizards and poachers, and is also the source of Vizette's learning of combat skills;

As for exactly how many dark wizards Serena Pendragon defeated, Vizette found it difficult to give a precise number; she could only say a great many…

It could even be said that Serena Pendragon's elimination of these dark wizards improved the living conditions of wizards and Muggles in Europe to some extent.

……

Vizette looked down at the ground, gazing absently at the star map.

Serena Pendragon's discussion about the origins of the star map actually gave him a lot of inspiration, leading him to think of another possibility that might help him achieve his goal.

Vizette began, "Both this map and the Marauder's Map in my hand are forms of magical artifacts, so they do share some similarities..."

"The Marauder's Map is connected to Hogwarts Castle, which is why it can display a map of the castle... and this map must also be connected to the surrounding terrain in order to be able to display it."

“I think I understand what you mean.” Orminis nodded. “Just searching for someone’s location and marking it on this map…”

"And the principle used in it..." He lightly stomped his foot, "is to make this person the test site, so as to avoid conflict with the function of this map."

“Mr. Orminis, this is what I think!” Vizet said, “He will become a mobile testing ground, so that it can be shown on the map.”

“Don’t forget one thing: this map is different from yours,” Sebastian Salou said. “To do this, we need to get information about that prisoner first.”

“This seems to be a dead end,” Orminis agreed. “Based on your description, Sirius Black’s crimes are so serious that his wand has probably already been broken.”

"The Black family is an extremely ancient family, and in some ways... I'm related to him too. Perhaps we could go to his family's ancestral home and find some clues?"

"If there were a..." Vizette smiled, "...would a magical artifact created with the assistance of Sirius Black achieve a similar effect?"

"Participate in the production? Theoretically, it shouldn't be a problem..." Orminis tilted his head slightly, as if he had thought of something, "Could it be the map you have?"

"You can play like this?" Serena Pendragon chimed in. "Getting caught by the map you made yourself, how interesting!"

……

“There’s still one more issue to address,” Anne Saloo said, pointing to the star map. “We can’t forget some fundamental points.”

"For example... how do we determine the location of this 'moving test'? Have you thought of any suitable reference points?"

Serena Pendragon suggested, "How about the 'Merlin Trials Ruins'? They're also based on ancient magical powers, so they'd be perfect as a reference!"

Luna murmured, "The ruins of Merlin's Trials?"

“We encountered ruins-like structures when we were in the Forbidden Forest.” Vizet raised his wand, conjuring up an altar-like structure.

Several stone slabs are pieced together on the building to form a pattern resembling the sun, and in the center of the pattern is a spiraling cyclone design.

“This is it!” Serena Pendragon nodded. “These ‘Merlin Trials Relics’ are not only found in the Forbidden Forest.”

“There are also similar ruins in the surrounding area… but I’ve already used them all. I can provide you with the specific locations.”

Chapter 203 Ancient Rune Books of the Isaiah Society?

Serena Pendragon and the others offered suggestions, recalling the various unexpected situations they encountered when they tried to modify the star map, and how to deal with these unexpected situations;

The area covered by the star map is very large, and the valuable experience gained from Serena Pendragon and her team will naturally reduce the difficulty of modifying the star map.

Nevertheless, after a detailed assessment by everyone, even using the "Merlin Trial Ruins" as a reference, it would take at least several months to make Sirius Black a "mobile trial site".

The most time-consuming step is naturally the process of making the star map encompass the "Merlin Trial Ruins" and accepting it as a reference point;

Ultimately, it was Sirius Black's elusive whereabouts and his ability to use some kind of magic to bypass the Dementors' patrols outside Hogwarts and infiltrate the castle.

Based on their memories, Serena Pendragon delineated several areas that might be where Sirius Black was hiding;

According to Serena Pendragon and her group, these places used to be gathering places for poachers and the Fire Serpent Gang.

Although they wiped out the poachers and the Fire Serpent Gang, they couldn't guarantee that all the secret passages and hidden doors left behind by the poachers and the Fire Serpent Gang had also been cleared away.

The reason why the Dementors couldn't capture Sirius Black might be due to these secret passages and hidden doors.

Serena Pendragon strolled across the star map, outlining specific routes for Vizzet, "If his goal is still Hogwarts Castle, then start from the outer edge of the Forbidden Forest..."

"I've used the 'Merlin Trial Ruins' on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest. Connecting it to the Starlight Map will be relatively easier. Then there's Fedroth... Manor Cape..."

“North Ford Swamp… Since there’s a curfew in Hogsmeade Village and Dementors search the area every night, perhaps we could leave it until the very end, since it’s quite a large area…”

“I know all the wizarding ruins in the area, and I took everything from them, but I didn’t break the magical protection. Sirius Black might be hiding there…”

“You should have quite a few connections now… Perhaps you could have someone conduct a surprise search. If Sirius Black is hiding in the wizarding ruins, you could easily catch him!”

“I remember the Black family… they seem to be quite wealthy, and now they’re running out of talent; he’s probably one of the last few Blacks left. If we could get him to give his fortune…”

……

“Ahem…” Ominnis Gaunt coughed a few times, interrupting Serena Pendragon, “In fact, the decline of talent is often accompanied by the loss of wealth.”

“There’s something I almost forgot!” he seemed to remember something. “Scott reported something to me… he caught a Muggle named Olga Goizueta.”

“Mr. Olga Goizueta?” Vizette recalled the somewhat peculiar man. “Mr. Ominis, what has he done?”

“He’s been asking about you,” Orminus Gaunt said. “Scott’s original plan was to simply erase this Muggle’s memory…”

"But when he was casting the spell, he discovered that this Muggle seemed to... really know you. In addition, this Muggle is not averse to magic, so he was only temporarily placed under surveillance."

“Something like what Mr. Olga Goizueta would do…” Vezet nodded. “We’re connected, aren’t we? He treats me like… a superhuman.”

He briefly described how he met Olga Goizueta, including the things Olga Goizueta mentioned after their meeting in Central Park.

"Finally, he gave me an email address, but I've been busy researching the Boggarts lately, and since Hogwarts doesn't have electrical appliances, I haven't been able to contact him."

“Does this Muggle have connections to NASA?” Sebastian Salou said. “To be able to do this kind of thing every day… he’s not a simple person.”

“He can also access some cameras… to track down wizards.” Vezel nodded. “That’s what I considered, which is why I asked him to leave his contact information.”

“Could you please give me his email address?” Anne Saru asked. “It’s really not convenient for Hogwarts to contact him…”

"Since he's a Muggle who isn't averse to magic, it wouldn't be bad to get in touch with him. This way, we can calm him down and prevent him from doing anything rash."

“Of course, no problem!” Vezet nodded, wrote down the email address in the notebook, and handed it to Anne Saru.

Anne Saloo glanced at the handwriting on the note, asked no questions, and put it away.

Vizette turned to look at Luna, who blinked, and the two of them understood something without saying a word.

Anne Saru's actions demonstrate that, unlike most wizards in England, she is knowledgeable about these emerging things and knows how email addresses should be used.

This is actually an unavoidable question. For example, Paul Smith, an Auror in the Magical Congress, expressed concern about the future and wondered what the purpose of the Secret Law was.

……

“Oh, right! I forgot something too!” Serena Pendragon said. “It seems this kind of life isn’t for me; my brain seems to be working a little slower.”

She reached into a skull on her robe, pulled out a vintage-style leather handbag, opened it, and snapped her fingers inside.

An old, thick book flew out, with a pink, fleshy object attached to its waist, resembling the tongue of some kind of toad.

Serena Pendragon handed the book to Vizette, saying, "Speaking of which, after passing the test, it's only natural to give a reward."

Vizette said somewhat embarrassedly, "But you've already helped me so much..."

"Between guardians... is there any need for formalities?" Serena Pendragon smiled and pushed the book directly into Vizette's arms, as if afraid he would refuse.

“This is something we found from the Isaiah Society…it must be a good thing!” she explained the book’s origins, “It’s all in runes…”

"You'll need to find a professor of ancient runes to help translate the contents. However, my advice is that you should try translating it yourself to minimize the risk of the secret being leaked."

“I’ve taken Ancient Runes, which will be perfect for practicing.” Vizette touched the book cover with his hand, the cold and eerie touch reminding him of some dark magic books in the forbidden library.

“That would be perfect! Ravenclaw…” Serena Pendragon sighed softly, “I should have thought of that immediately… I guess I’m just too slow on the uptake!”

Just as Vizette was about to say something, a very short alarm sounded from the pocket...

Chapter 204 The Dementors of the Quidditch Stadium

Upon hearing the short alarm, Vizet took out the Marauder's Map and glanced at it.

“What’s going on?” Serena Pendragon asked. “Sirius Black has reappeared?”

“Yes!” Vezel nodded. “I used ancient magic to cast the Howling Spell, which will sound an alarm as soon as Sirius Black appears.”

In addition to the Howling Charm, the Marauder's Map also has a Tracking Charm, specifically used to track Sirius Black's movements.

However, at this moment, the Marauder's Map was blank except for the castle and the surrounding terrain. "But... I can't find Sirius Black's name on it."

Vizette took out her wand and waved it lightly at the Marauder's Map. Instantly, a dense array of names appeared on the Quidditch pitches displayed on the map.

He looked again toward Hogwarts Castle, where the Headmaster's office was located, and Dumbledore's name was still there.

In the blink of an eye, Dumbledore's name suddenly disappeared and reappeared on the Quidditch pitch, near the goalposts.

Snape's name, too, moves in the direction of the Quidditch pitch.

“I’m afraid something’s happened at Hogwarts again…” Vizette put away the map. “Quidditch match… Harry… Sirius Black…”

He already had a guess in his mind: perhaps the place where Sirius Black had just appeared was the Quidditch pitch, and behind the Quidditch pitch was the Forbidden Forest.

“Then you go ahead and get busy! We’ll talk again when we get back!” Serena Pendragon waved with a smile. “I’ll write down the location of the ‘Merlin Trial Altar’ for you first.”
