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

“Okay!” Vezel nodded. For Ravenclaw, riddles were something that was part of their daily lives.

When they entered the common room, they always had to solve the riddle mentioned by the copper ring.

"Then listen carefully..." The stall owner plucked the strings of his harp and hummed a melodious tune, "It is the dream of childhood, the companion of the night. Silently, it brings laughter. Who is it, guarding you in your dreams?"

The stall owner finished by sweeping the harp strings, and Vizette and Luna exclaimed in unison, "A doll!"

"Correct." The stall owner smiled. "What would you like to order?"

Vizette and Luna looked at each other but neither reached out. The stall owner seemed to understand something and said with a smile, "Would you like another riddle?"

Without waiting for Vizette and Luna's reply, he began to pluck the strings and start humming a melodious tune.

"It comes from the ordinary, yet takes on an extraordinary form. In silence, it tells a story. Silent and unassuming, yet full of soul, who is it that silently depicts the passing years?"

This riddle was a bit more complicated than the previous one. Vizette and Luna both blinked and looked at a handicraft on the stall. "It's a wood carving."

The stall owner smiled approvingly, "You've answered both riddles correctly. Now you can choose two prizes."

A pair of pedestrians were attracted by the vendor's chanting and came to inquire. When they did, the vendor made the same demands on them.

Vizette and Luna both chose a scarf, and as they helped each other wrap their scarves, the stall owner smiled knowingly and hummed the next riddle.

"It is silent and unassuming, yet it is crucial in the cold season. Soft as a dream, warm as an embrace, who is silently watching over us in the winter?"

“It’s a scarf…” Vizette and Luna realized the answer, but they spoke very softly, so that only the other person could hear them.

“Let’s buy something!” Wizette suggested. “To take back to Mr. Lovegood.”

Luna suggested, "Then... how about buying another scarf?"

“We can buy another cup…” Vizette picked up the ceramic cup that Luna had just noticed, “…and tell him to get more rest…and drink more hot water?”

"Mmm!" Luna smiled, her face flushing with two pretty blushes.

After saying goodbye to the "bard" stall owner, Vizette and Luna strolled around for a while longer, and even encountered a "Santa Claus" delivering gifts along the way.

Luna was lucky; she found a headdress, a star-shaped hair clip, inside the gift.

Vizette was also lucky; she found a hair tie among the gifts, which she could give to Luna.

Before they knew it, the two had strolled from Christmas Eve to Christmas Day, when the lights of Leighton Howe Market suddenly dimmed.

Just as Vizet and Luna put their hands in their pockets and gripped their wands tightly, a clear bell rang.

The stars atop the tall Christmas tree emitted a soft white light, which grew brighter and brighter, gradually illuminating the entire dome.

Cheerful Christmas carols filled the Leighton Howe market, and colorful lights appeared on the dome.

Reflected in the stained glass, they danced like ribbons, changing with the rhythm of the music, sometimes bright and sometimes soft.

“So it was just a performance…” Vizet shook his head and laughed. “Merry Christmas!”

Luna tied her cascading long hair back with a hair tie, and smiled as well, "Merry Christmas!"

Chapter 229 An Extraordinarily Happy Christmas

On Christmas Day, as the sun gradually rose, sunlight streamed into the room through the window, and Vizet was awakened by the gentle morning light.

He slowly opened his eyes, immediately turned to his side, and took the wand from the bedside table in his hand.

A wristband was tied to the wand; it was a Christmas gift from Luna, and Luna had helped him tie it to the wand.

Luna has skillful hands; she tied a flexible knot that makes it easier to adjust the size of the knot.

The wristband was colorful, and with the soft morning light, every strand of magical animal fur on it shone with a unique luster, like a rainbow wrapped around a magic wand.

Its texture is wonderful—soft, warm, and seems to melt into the skin without any discomfort, just like the feeling of being in bed right now.

Although Vizette knew that Luna's knot was extremely secure, he still subconsciously became careful and cautious when pulling on it, as if he were protecting a precious treasure.

After putting the wristband on his wrist, he gently waved his wand, the tip of which emitted a bright light, drawing out a rainbow-like halo.

After a while, Vizette put the wand back on the bedside table, looked at the wand that looked like it was tied with a rainbow, and shook her head with a smile.

Both he and Luna were inspired by Serena Pendragon and chose to give each other wristbands as gifts.

However, his hands are not as skillful as Luna's, so the wristband he gave her would be more like a bracelet.

He used the "Elementary Magical Forging Techniques" to create interlocking silver chains, then adorned them with a few carefully crafted crystal spheres, while ensuring comfort as much as possible—this was, in his opinion, the most important point.

Just as he was dressed and came downstairs, Luna pushed open the door and entered, raising her wand that was attached to her wrist and gently touching the back of her body to wipe away the mud stains.

She looked up, saw Vizette smiling, and gently shook the silver chain in her hand.

it is more than words.

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

This Christmas, two professors specializing in arithmetic and ancient runes also sent gifts to Wizette.

Setima Victor, who teaches arithmetic divination, sent me a copy of "New Principles of Numerology Divination," a book that introduces arithmetic divination and contains many novel ideas about arithmetic divination.

Professor Bassheda Baburin, who teaches ancient runes, sent me a rubbing of ancient runes, which also contains many annotations by Bassheda Baburin and is of great research value.

Fred and George also brought Christmas gifts: two pieces of candy wrapped in paper and a very brief instruction manual.

[Poppo Bubble Gum: Why are you struggling with what to wear to a party or dance? You should bring Poppo Bubble Gum—the surprise of farting will make you the loudest star of the night!]

[Friendly Reminder: Please use Bubble Gum appropriately and respect the feelings of others. Pranks are fun, but friendship is more important!]

……

Neville Longbottom sent a Christmas gift, a box containing several herbs;

Vizet didn't even need to open the gift box; a quick glance at the displayed herbs was enough to tell that they had all been carefully selected.

Besides the herbal gift box, there was also a neatly written letter underneath, the wording of which seemed somewhat unlike his usual writing style.

It's clear that after drafting the manuscript, it was revised several times before being transcribed onto the official parchment.

Wizette, Merry Christmas!

I hope this letter brings you warmth and joy this holiday season. I write this letter with immense gratitude, as your advice has been invaluable.

[Since getting the new wand, my magical abilities have really improved! This is a huge surprise and encouragement for both me and my family.]

To express my gratitude, I've prepared a small gift; I hope you'll like it!

This magical plant gift box contains several of my favorite plants, each symbolizing my gratitude and blessings for you!

Thank you again for your help and support!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

My sincerest blessings.

Neville Longbottom

Vizette opened the letter; underneath was another piece of parchment.

The above should be Neville's first draft. The wording is indeed colloquial, and there are many scribbling marks, which can be felt as Neville was excited when he wrote the letter.

“Okay… I think I understand what’s going on. He does tend to forget things easily, is it because he’s too nervous?” Vizette shook her head slightly. “Restored to its original state!”

He raised his wand and gently tapped the two parchments together. The parchments immediately came together as if they had never been opened.

"That should do the trick."

……

Draco Malfoy also sent a letter thanking Vizzet for her suggestion to "try a different wand";

There was another package under the envelope, containing an exquisitely patterned ornament;

The pattern has a medieval style, but it must have been made using fairy craftsmanship, so there is no trace of the ravages of time.

This ornament must be quite valuable, given that it uses fairy craftsmanship, making it extremely collectible for pure-blooded families.

In his letter, Draco also mentioned that if there was time, whether it was the summer vacation or the Christmas holidays, he could visit Malfoy Manor; all he had to do was have Dobby come and let him know.

……

To Wizette's surprise, even Rita Skeeter sent him an envelope.

Inside the envelope was a magical photograph, taken in what appeared to be a manor.

There is only one protagonist in the magical photo—Cornelly Fudge, who is covering his ears with his hands, trying to get away from the noise of the roaring letter behind him;

This howling letter is also quite unique in style. Unlike the traditional red howling letter, this howling letter is more like a greeting card, and you can even see some Christmas decorations on it.

It seems that Cornelius Fudge was also misled by the Howling Letter's deception, which is why he was chased by such a letter and had to cover his ears to avoid hearing the Howling Letter's curses at him.

Behind the enchanted photo was a message from Rita Skeeter, just one short sentence: "Merry Christmas."

“It’s quite a unique Christmas gift…” Vizette put the photo back in the envelope, “but I feel… Mr. Lovegood would like it.”

"What do you like?" A sleepy-eyed Xenophilius Lovegood walked downstairs, yawning and stretching.

"Minister Cornelius Fudge's embarrassing moment." Vizet spread his hands, and with the help of the levitation spell, the envelope slowly floated toward Xenophilius.

"An embarrassing moment?" Xenophilius finally woke up, looked at the photo and burst out laughing. "This Christmas feels...especially happy!"
