“Did I do anything?” Vizette shrugged. “Just gave her some sugar. She’s just lacking a bit of normalcy.”

"She just said that she has to face the OWL exam this school year, and it's very normal to have pre-exam anxiety, but it's only the beginning of the semester... What will she do later!"

“Were you a Muggle before? Why are you so familiar with exams?” Hermione asked. “I read in the books that wizards educate their children themselves to keep their profession secret and don’t send them to school.”

Only then did she truly begin to examine Vizette.

He had a handsome, refined face, and a sense of composure about him.

"You're Vizette? The Obscurial who appeared in the Daily Prophet? I'm not saying I'm afraid... because I'm new to the magical world... you should understand what I mean, right?"

After another rapid-fire speech, Vizet could only nod helplessly, "Perhaps you don't need to explain too much. Sometimes saying too much can lead to more mistakes and misunderstandings."

"Is that so?" Hermione frowned, as if recalling some unpleasant experience. "Maybe it really is?"

"The notes are flying here!" Penelope suddenly shouted, her tone much more forceful.

The notebook broke free from Vizette's grasp and flew back to its owner.

"This feels completely different from before! I succeeded on the first try!" she exclaimed excitedly, then placed the notebook in Qiu Zhang's hand. "The notebook is flying here!"

The notebook was back in her hands.

"This feels right! I could do this before, how could I suddenly fail?"

Penelope roused herself and looked at Hermione curiously, asking, "Miss Granger, I remember you were looking for something just now?"

"Oh right! I need to find Neville's toad!" Hermione realized, looking annoyed. "That's Neville's pet. I read in a book that wizards used to like keeping toads."

“I just can’t stand it.” Penelope shuddered. “Hogwarts keeps some toads. If you want to practice magic or test potions, you can apply to the school.”

Hermione's eyes widened. "Testing potions? Using pets to test them?"

Penelope, now refreshed, was quite talkative. "At least in the Middle Ages, toads were the preferred pets of wizards, as they were very convenient for conducting various tests."

“I remember a passage in ‘The History of Magic’ about the misunderstanding Muggles have about wizards. They think wizards persecute Muggles and turn them into toads.”

"Magic can indeed do this, but it requires a high level of magical ability. Later, the Ministry of Magic banned the cruelty to toads, and fewer and fewer people kept toads."

“Miss Crevatt, thank you! You’ve taught me so much, but I promised Neville I’d help him find the toad.” Hermione said as she stood up, preparing to leave the carriage.

Vizette spoke up to stop her, "Miss Granger, perhaps I can help."

When Penelope was talking about the history of toad magic, he tried to combine summoning spells and modified magic, and obtained a new page:

Ancient Magic: Improved Summoning Charms (Basic Creature Capture): Guides ancient magic to cast summoning charms, enhancing the magic's power and making it effective on creatures.

Chapter 23 The Unverifiable Black Wizard

"Have you seen it?" Hermione asked quickly. "It's Neville's pet toad, named Rafer."

Vizet shook his head slightly. "I've never seen it, but I hope you can describe what this pet toad looks like."

"I'll go get Neville!" Hermione exclaimed, rushing out of the carriage.

Penelope asked gently, "Are you planning to use a summoning spell?"

Vizette nodded. "Yes, I want to try it."

“But you should know, right?” Penelope didn’t rush to dismiss Vizet’s idea, “Summoning spells can only be used on inanimate objects.”

"Even if there are exceptions, they are only creatures like the Flobber Caterpillar, whose structure is very, very simple, so that the summoning spell can work."

“Why don’t we give him a try?” Qiu Zhang suggested from the side. “Vizet is quite special… This morning, he even helped a third-grade student complete his pre-class assignment.”

“Is that really true?” Penelope exclaimed in surprise. “There’s nothing wrong with putting curiosity into practice. What I just said was indeed inappropriate, as a Ravenclaw.”

Wizette smiled slightly; he had a good impression of Ravenclaw.

After spending this short time together, he found the atmosphere in Ravenclaw quite appealing.

Having arrived in this magical world, besides going to Sweden with Luna to find the Curved-Horned Snoring Beast, learning and exploration become his primary goals.

This world is full of unknowns and wonders, and the magic that can cover all aspects of life is something he should keep learning.

In addition, there were also a variety of magical animals and wizarding ruins that he had never seen before, all of which made him yearn for them.

Through Lee Jordan's introduction to the four houses, Wizette now has a basic understanding of them.

If you can get into Ravenclaw, you should be able to have a good student life and lay the foundation for your future exploration.

……

Soon, Hermione led the boy who had lost the toad back here.

The boy had a round face, and his flushed cheeks were streaked with tears. "Th...thank you...Hermione said...that you can help me find...Ralph..."

Vizette handed over a few tissues. "I need a more specific description. What does Leif look like? It would be best if you could be more specific so that the target is clearer and I can help you better."

"Th...thank you!" The boy blew his nose, his sobs subsiding considerably. "It's about the size of two of my palms, dark brown, with thirteen bumps on its back..."

The boy was very interested in the toad Raef and described it in great detail.

A combination of words and gestures was enough to give Vizette a concrete image.

What needs to be done next is very simple...

He drew his wand and waved it gently, chanting the spell: "Toad Rafer, come!"

The core of the obscured object suddenly throbbed, unleashing a surge of ancient magical power. This power flowed into the wand, causing it to emit a silver-blue light.

The people in the carriage all looked towards the door at the same time.

A commotion suddenly broke out in the corridor.

"Look! A flying toad!"

"Ugh! How disgusting! It touched my hair!"

"Why would someone bring a toad on a train? Where is it going?"

……

Accompanied by a frantic "croaking" sound, a plump toad appeared at the doorway.

It struggled desperately, paddling its limbs, but could only helplessly lunge at Vizette.

Vizette's eyelids twitched, and she withdrew her wand.

Losing control of the summoning spell, Rafe the toad fell into Neville's hands.

"Merlin's beard! Such a big toad, the summoning spell shouldn't work..." Penelope rubbed her eyes and silently opened a box of chocolate frogs.

"Just as I thought," Qiu Zhang said with a smile. "It's really quite interesting!"

Neville kept thanking him, "Thank you so much! I don't know what to say! My name is Neville, Neville Longbottom!"

Hermione launched into a rapid-fire monologue, "Vizette, which house are you planning to go to? Gryffindor? Headmaster Dumbledore is from that house..."

“I haven’t thought about that yet. It should be Ravenclaw, right? If I could choose…” Vizet replied absentmindedly.

His attention was focused on the chocolate picture; he thought he had just seen Dumbledore return.

The Dumbledore picture that returned seemed a little different; his eyes were more lively, and Vizet could sense the goodwill in them.

"Shouldn't you tell the others who helped? After all, the toad has been found!" Cho Chang's words finally got Hermione and Neville to leave.

"Phew..." Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Vizette let out a long breath.

The two men's half-hour-long thank-you and questioning left him somewhat exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Qiu Zhang chuckled and said, "This year's freshmen are really energetic."

“Yes!” Penelope stood up, adjusting the prefect's badge on her chest. “I have to go to a meeting, and this badge is reminding me to go to a meeting by getting warm…”

As darkness fell, large swaths of crimson and purple hues painted the sky, while the mountains and forests below rushed past the window, creating a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

Not long after, a hollow voice echoed through the train.

"The Hogwarts Express will arrive at the station in five minutes. Please leave your luggage on the train and we will deliver it to your dormitory."

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

Dumbledore put down the chocolate picture card in his hand, his face full of smiles. "Amazing magical talent... You can do this much just by touching a wand?"

He quickly suppressed his smile, recalling the less-than-pleasant past, and sighed softly.

"We still need proper guidance to prevent a repeat of what happened. Harry and Vizette both require special arrangements; looks like we'll be busy!"

dong dong dong...

A knock sounded at the door, and Professor McGonagall, dressed in a dark green robe, entered. "Headmaster Dumbledore, is this year's Sorting List ready?"

“Of course I’m ready. You’ve come at the perfect time.” Dumbledore stood up and waved his fingers like a conductor, causing the parchment scroll on the table to fly up and land in Professor McGonagall’s hands.

The list of schools was written in beautiful cursive script, and the emerald green ink on it didn't dry completely until Professor McGonagall caught the parchment scroll.

Professor McGonagall glanced at the sorting list. "Vizet's last name is Lovegood? What was his original last name?"

“It’s impossible to verify…” Dumbledore shrugged helplessly. “I also investigated that dark wizard… everything is shrouded in mystery.”

"So we can only use the surname Lovegood. It was kept secret until now to protect his safety."

"It wasn't until today, after Vizet boarded the Hogwarts Express, that I had Xenophilius complete the formalities."

Professor McGonagall nodded. "This was a necessary measure. We didn't expect the news to leak out, especially since the Parkinson family is so extreme."
