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

In this way, one can avoid the effects of mind control techniques and also make oneself more rational.

To build a soul maze, one needs to amplify positive emotions, allowing them to fill the soul and then build a maze.

Wizards skilled in mind control or with a deep understanding of the soul need to explore this labyrinth to truly delve into the soul.

Without a doubt, Occlumency is a more sophisticated form of magic, capable of being done without anyone noticing, causing the Legilimency practitioner to misunderstand and believe that what they see is the truth;

【Hate to talk about / what is the meaning of the word? ㈨ ④ 8З 24○ ㈨②】

The Soul Labyrinth is an open secret, telling the Legilimency Seeker that the Legilimency Seeker is on guard and hoping that the Legilimency Seeker will not push their luck.

Even if a Legilimency practitioner has malicious intentions, it still needs to spend a certain amount of time navigating the labyrinth before they can enter the depths of a soul.

However, in terms of speed of learning, the construction speed of the Soul Maze is much faster than that of the Brain Occupation Technique.

The most suitable plan for Vizet at present is to quickly learn a magic that protects the soul and at the same time begin practicing Occlumency.

……

"Why are your ears so red when I ask you to recall those happy memories?" Aberforth, who was in charge of supervising, said sarcastically.

"It can't be because you ate too much bread, can it? I'm really curious... what are you thinking about right now? Let me see if I can still find one of those parchment scrolls..."

Vizette, who was reminiscing about the Christmas holidays, opened her eyes and suddenly raised her wand, "Knox!"

The surrounding candlelight dimmed instantly.

With a snap of his fingers, countless demonic nets rushed toward Aberforth, binding him tightly and rendering him speechless.

Aberforth's counterattack was swift; a fireball appeared out of thin air, rising into the sky and radiating light and heat.

The weakness of the Devil's Web was obvious; the moment the fireball appeared, it quickly withered and curled back into Vizet's palm.

Aberforth's face showed surprise. "Transformation magic? How many more surprises do you have that I don't know about?"

"I was wondering why Albus had become so shameless, completely unlike his usual self... So that's why. He really deserves to be nurtured."

He went on and on about a bunch of embarrassing things that happened to Dumbledore, as if he were talking to himself, or as if he were pouring his heart out to Vizet.

“Albus said you are very reliable. I’m telling you this, you won’t tell anyone, will you?” He laughed, like a serpent tempting Adam and Eve to eat the apple.

Vizette remained unmoved. "I will keep it a secret!"

"How boring..." Aberforth muttered. "Let's stop here for today! Your ability to get your emotions in order through bread is already beyond my expectations..."

Even after Vizzet returned to Hogwarts, his ears were still a little red.

You can express your emotions through food...

If I could learn this magic, I could show it off at home during summer vacation!

……

During the time it took to build the Soul Labyrinth, Vizette's mood was also affected, and everything at Hogwarts seemed even better.

This is actually part of building the soul labyrinth. He needs to discover the beauty of this world and use this beauty as material to build up the labyrinth.

In addition, the Soul Labyrinth also needs a core. The more memorable this core is to him, the easier it will be for him to extend and expand, continuously growing the Soul Labyrinth.

Undoubtedly, the core memories are the old castle, the magical garden, the people who lived there, and everything that happened during the Christmas holidays.

Wizette thanked Snape for his letter; without it, he might not have been able to truly settle down and fully enjoy the rest of his vacation.

This crucial memory solidified the core of the soul labyrinth.

Besides constructing the Soul Labyrinth, Aberforth would also have him go outside, sit at the bar, and experience the atmosphere and listen to the stories told by the guests.

Pighead Bar is indeed a mixed bag; when they talk, they say "Damn it" every three sentences and end with "Shit" every five.

However, setting aside these words, recording their boastful and nonsensical stories can also make for good reading material, and can even be polished and submitted to "Singing a Different Tune".

The guests here not only boast to each other, but they are also prone to getting drunk and drawing their wands to duel at the slightest disagreement.

The other guests were already used to it, and even joined in the jeering, cheering with foul language and placing bets to see which side would win.

Normally, Aberforth wouldn't get involved at this time.

He would only wave his wand, subdue the two wizards, and demand compensation if either of them damaged the bar's property.

These wizard duels are quite interesting; they swear at each other, and if they are familiar with each other, they will even expose each other's weaknesses to disrupt each other's mindset.

Disrupting the opponent's mindset is a combat technique that Vizette learned from this.

In a duel, besides the magic one possesses, disrupting one's mindset is also an extremely important aspect.

Usually, whichever side gets carried away by anger and strikes first will be the one to lose.

Chapter 102 Mutual Testing

Ravenclaw's second Quidditch match took place in the spring, against the Slytherin Quidditch team.

This team has a bad reputation; in fact, Fred and George describe them as despicable and underhanded.

The Slytherin broomsticks are the best, thanks to the support of those pure-blood families, and they usually get new broomsticks every three to five years.

Generally speaking, Quidditch players tend to prioritize agility.

However, for the Slytherin team, agility can be compensated for by the performance of their flying brooms.

So they used "muscular" and "tall and strong" as selection criteria to create a team of burly men.

Their team style is also known for its brutality and violence. It's common for them to use their physical advantages to cover for each other and then secretly commit fouls.

This information about the Slytherin team all came from Oliver Wood, the "Quidditch Know-It-All".

Although he was the captain of the Gryffindor team, Gryffindor and Slytherin had a long-standing feud.

To avoid Ravenclaw being embarrassed, Wood secretly came to Arsenal to share the updated information.

There is no doubt that this is a tough match.

At the beginning, the Slytherin team, with their flying broomsticks and the players' teamwork, used cunning fouling techniques to give Ravenclaw a lot of trouble.

Not only did they lose several points, but Roger and Jeremy also injured their arms.

Arsenal called a timeout, and Wizette quickly picked up his wand and cast a healing spell on them, curing their injuries.

With Wood's intelligence and Arsenal's encouragement, Ravenclaw made quick adjustments.

They imitated Hedgehog's defensive strategy, gathering their teammates outside the scoring zone, and then gradually closing the gap thanks to Wizette's agility and speed.

After nearly twenty minutes of play, Cho Chang finally adapted to the pace of the game and caught the Golden Snitch before Slytherin's Seeker could react, ending the fierce battle.

The victory, achieved through hardship and adversity, was etched into Wizette's memory and etched into his soul's labyrinth.

After the game, other things happened, such as Snape canceling his private lessons for the week.

And when Snape taught the following week, he suddenly became much more sarcastic, giving the feeling of returning to the beginning of the school year.

This is understandable; as the head of Slytherin, it's only natural for him to complain when his team loses.

Wizette was already familiar with Snape's way of speaking, and the best approach was to simply smile.

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

Snape cornered Quirrell in an empty classroom and began with a sharp incantation, "Expelliarmus!"

A dazzling red light filled the entire classroom, Quirrell's wand flew high into the air and landed in Snape's hand.

Hitler, struck by the disarming charm, collapsed to the ground, managing a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Professor Snape... what... what are you planning to do?"

"Three months isn't enough time for you to figure things out?" Snape looked down at him. "Have you forgotten what you promised me back then?"

"Professor Quirrell, let me help you recall! You probably already know how to get through Hagrid's Cerberus, right?"

"Heh...heh..." Quirrell looked around, trying to hide the panic in his eyes and the guilt of losing his wand.

Snape shouted, "Professor Quirrell, it's the last week! If you don't act now and retrieve the Philosopher's Stone for the Dark Lord, you'll be in for a terrible death!"

Quirrell was incredibly surprised. "You...you knew everything!"

"Don't think I don't know your little tricks!" Snape crossed his arms. "That dragon egg Rubeus Hagrid got, wasn't it? It was probably bait you sent out."

"You only have one path to take! Either tell me where the Dark Lord is, and you'll get the way to pass the potion challenge; or... you'll die here!"

“Okay…okay…” Quirrell seemed drained of all his strength, even his eyes became vacant. “Actually, I don’t know where he is…”

"He will contact me on the day of the operation... Only then will I be able to obtain his real address and present the Philosopher's Stone to him."

“This is the last time I’ll trust you!” Snape tossed his wand back to Quirrell. “I’ll wait until that day to tell you how to pass the Potions challenge!”

"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Quirrell quickly grabbed his wand and scrambled out of the classroom.

He ran all the way back to his office, skillfully cast a spell on the door, and then untied the strip of cloth.

He swallowed hard and gasped for air until Voldemort grew impatient and finally spoke up, telling him that Snape had come to see him.

"It does seem like that..." Voldemort yawned, "There's a bit of... the desperation of a stray dog ​​to find its owner."

Quirrell finally calmed down and cautiously asked, "Master... what do you plan to do?"

“He’s willing to be an ally, so of course we should grant his request.” Voldemort’s eyes glowed crimson. “Wait another week, until those students finish their exams!”

"Then they'll have plenty of time, making it easier for you to create chaos! If the plan changes, you can use these students to find an opportunity to escape!"
