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

"There seems to be a foal over there... and I think I can also sense the presence of the eight-eyed giant spider..."

Just then, a deep, resonant sound suddenly came from the distant woods.

Upon hearing the commotion, Vizette ripped off the venom glands of the eight-eyed giant spider and fled the place.

A series of crisp hoofbeats came from behind, and that deep voice rang out again: "Little pony, I mean you no harm, please don't be afraid!"

A little pony?

What a strange name that is?

Vizette stopped and stood still, waiting for the deep voice to approach.

With the help of the night vision spell, he was able to see the tall creature in front of him.

It was a centaur, young and handsome, with a bow on his back and a small bag at his waist in addition to the shoulder strap.

The centaur has platinum blonde hair and the lower body of a silver-maned horse. He looks very heroic, like a hero from a mythological story.

"Hello, little pony. I'm Ferencze, nice to meet you. What's your name?"

……

Voldemort did not leave; he stood in a layer of magical energy field, watching how Vizzet would pass this "little test."

Under Vizette's command, the flying dust transformed into vines that twisted and stretched in the air, binding the eight-eyed giant spider.

"However, after only one year of enrollment, he was able to develop vines, and those vines are not just for show; they have real potential."

Vizette waved her wand, using a knockback spell to maintain distance and ensure she was in a safe area before unleashing a series of cutting spells.

"How interesting... Your mastery of ordinary magic is also quite impressive. I think I was around this level when I first enrolled?"

Vizette continued to engage the eight-eyed giant spider, establishing a specific rhythm in the battle, but she was never able to stop the spider's attack.

"What a pity! Relying solely on these methods won't be enough to deal with the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider, as its magic resistance is still quite impressive."

"Are you really that unwilling to use dark magic? You're perfectly capable of using all sorts of dark magic, so why bother? It would be so much better to embrace dark magic!"

Voldemort sighed and drank one of the bottles of Soul Soothing Potion.

"No! This isn't the taste I wanted!" His expression changed, and his eyes revealed utter shock.

The soul-soothing remedy before me became conventional, lacking that feeling of "chaos".

If one had to find any advantage, it would be that the current soul-soothing remedy is very suitable for ordinary wizards.

And the characteristic of being "ordinary" is precisely the characteristic he dislikes the most.

It was for this reason that he erased his past and transformed into the Voldemort he is today.

"Something must have gone wrong!" His eyes flickered, and he opened the second bottle of Soul Soothing Agent, unwilling to give up.

"A strange feeling... hidden deep inside... what exactly is this feeling... is it happiness?"

"Pure happiness? No! It seems more complicated! I can't understand it... I can't understand it right now!"

Voldemort's expression turned serious. The Soul Soothing Potion in his hand resembled a datura flower, beautiful and alluring yet utterly deadly.

He longed to taste that strange, long-lost flavor again, yet he feared the irreversible effects of this deadly taste.

Deep within his soul, in a place beyond the soul...

Something seems to be reappearing, something he had stripped away is sprouting again...

The flavors contained in these soul-soothing remedies exceeded his expectations.

The battle between Vizette and the eight-eyed giant spider also exceeded his expectations at almost the same time.

Voldemort and Vizet were far apart, but Voldemort could still sense that the Curse of Sickness cast by Vizet had weakened.

This is a conscious weakening of the spell, which is to say, casting magic "freely," in accordance with Vizette's own will.

"I shouldn't have said so much!" Voldemort took a deep breath. "It seems there really was no need for me to stay..."

"The Soul Soothing Agent is faulty... He's also mastered the Curse of Sickness... Let's settle everything before the final exams!"

……

Since the centaur was the first to show goodwill, Vizette naturally wouldn't speak ill of him.

He bowed slightly and said in a clear voice, "Hello, Mr. Ferrenze, I am Wizette, a student at Hogwarts."

“So you’re Vizette?” Ferenzhe murmured. “Hagrid mentioned you to me before.”

"Hagrid mentioned me?" Vizette asked, puzzled.

“Yes, you saved many Bird Birds, and Hagrid said you were a good kid.” Ferenczer’s tone softened considerably. “How did you end up here?”

He looked around and noticed the enormous creature not far away, and immediately strode over to it.

Looking at the eight-eyed giant spider with half its head severed, his tone was filled with disbelief, "Little pony... Vizette, did you do this?"

Vizette nodded and said, "I ran into the Forbidden Forest, and then it attacked me."

Ferenze nimbly circled the corpse of the eight-eyed giant spider, muttering, "That was so dangerous! Was it for your friend?"

Vizette noticed a hint of displeasure on Ferenze's face, displeasure with the eight-eyed giant spider...

Chapter 108 Ancient Magic Altar?

Ferenze grabbed one of the giant spider's legs, stomped his hoof on the spider's body, and with a forceful pull, tore off the spider's leg.

He set the leg aside, took out a handful of herbs from the pouch at his waist, and sprinkled them on the corpse of the eight-eyed giant spider.

"#@*?%&!*?%#@*%&!*?..."

Ferenze spoke in an ancient, weathered tone, raising his arms high and making gesture after gesture, his hooves stomping on the ground in a strange yet melodious rhythm.

As he brought his palms together in front of him and then crossed them over his shoulders, a verdant magical energy field appeared, enveloping the corpse of the eight-eyed giant spider.

Ferenc suddenly knelt down, prostrated himself on the ground, gently tapped his forehead, and uttered a low, hoarse call, "*?%#@*%&!*..."

The emerald green magical energy field brightened, rippling out in concentric circles.

Each time a ripple falls to the ground, the eight-eyed giant spider dries out a little more until it disappears completely, as if melting into the soil.

Before long, several small grasses sprouted from the soil, looking lush and vibrant.

Ferenze picked up the eight-eyed giant spider leg, smiled, and waved to Vezet, inviting him to ride on his back.

"We should go now, which will naturally absolve us of some of the evil of the eight-eyed giant spider."

Wizette's understanding of centaurs mainly comes from the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".

These are highly intelligent magical creatures, yet the Ministry of Magic, based on a certain decree, describes the centaurs' intelligence level as "close to human intelligence."

When the centaurs learned of this, they considered it a great insult to them from the Ministry of Magic and even from the wizards themselves.

When defining magical creatures, the Ministry of Magic categorized centaurs, vampires, she-demons, mermaids, and other magical creatures under the definition of "human."

Centaurs disdain associating with vampires and she-demons, so they protest and hope to continue living as "beasts."

Regarding the centaurs, Newt Scamander left an interesting comment:

The arrogance of the Ministry of Magic has driven wizards and centaurs further apart. Today, centaurs live far away in the forests, becoming their guardians. Wizards have paid a price for this, losing many opportunities to exchange knowledge about magical healing, divination, astronomy, and other magical subjects.

In conclusion, due to historical reasons and the arrogance of their wizards, centaurs are not very friendly to any human beings.

Whether they encounter wizards or Muggles, they will use their unique talents to actively avoid them.

However, Ferenze, who was carrying Vizette forward at this moment, was clearly not that kind of "traditional" centaur.

Ferenczek was very talkative, but his speech was very casual.

He would point to a herb and gently explain its uses;

Or perhaps he would look up at the gaps in the tree canopy and say in a heavy tone, "Mars is always so bright, and that's not a good thing, you understand?"

"Is war about to break out?" Vizette asked tentatively.

Humans have had the habit of observing Mars since ancient times; for example, the conjunction of Mars and Antares (or Mars in conjunction with Antares) is believed to foreshadow great upheavals.

It could even be said that most civilizations, upon observing celestial phenomena, would place great importance on the omens of Mars, regarding them as ominous signs of disaster, war, death, and other misfortunes.

Ferenze nodded and said softly, "Yes, very few wizards enjoy studying astronomy, and their understanding of astronomy is often inferior to that of some Muggles."

"Mr. Ferenczer, I have a question... Why were you there? Was it because you sensed the movement of the eight-eyed giant spider?" Wizette asked.

“Of course not, we rarely go into the areas inhabited by the eight-eyed giant spiders.” Ferenze’s tone was somewhat pained. “They have already grown to a considerable size and are difficult to eradicate.”

"Actually, I went there because I was guided by a unicorn. I could feel it telling me that someone on the other side of the forest needed help."

The two chatted casually, with Ferencé continuously introducing the various aspects of the Forbidden Forest's ecology.

Following Ferencze's guidance, Vizette's understanding of the Forbidden Forest deepened.

Just then, the map in her mind automatically opened, guiding Vizet to look at the bushes to the side, where several moss-covered stone pillars stood.

Wizette quickly asked, "Mr. Ferenczer, what are those stone pillars?"

"Want to go take a look?" Ferenze lifted his hoof and led Vizet to the stone pillar.

It was only then that Vizette realized that this was an ancient altar.

The altar is made up of several stone slabs pieced together to form a sun pattern, with stone pillars surrounding it like stars.
