Hogwarts: From Luna's family to god

Under the guidance of the goblin, Vizette and his party got on the mine cart.

Accompanied by a burst of rapid and harsh friction sounds, the mine cart sped along the winding track, and the surrounding scene became blurred.

Guided by magic, the mine cart seemed to be able to recognize the road by itself, turning left and right in the forked roads without the command of the goblin.

With the help of the magic eye, Vizette absorbed the ancient magic power around him and injected it into the "Wizard Practical Guide".

The "Wizard Practical Guide" became more and more agitated, and a page showed the content among the pages flying:

"Elementary Magic Forging": Master the ancient magic power... Use the ancient magic power to enhance the metal effect... Give metal properties...

Magic forging, metal processing, goblins have a deep research in this area and have extremely profound attainments.

Wizards usually need the help of goblins, and with the help of the metals processed and forged by goblins, magic props can be preserved for a long time.

Godric Gryffindor, one of the founders of Hogwarts, once commissioned a goblin, hoping that the goblin could forge a long sword for him, which is the famous Gryffindor Sword.

According to the records of "Hogwarts: A History of the School", after the goblin completed the commission, he coveted the sword, unilaterally reneged on the commission, and wanted to steal the sword back;

As a powerful wizard, Godric Gryffindor warned the goblins after repelling the thieving goblins that if they came to steal the sword again, they would be greeted by a war;

Due to Godric Gryffindor's powerful strength, the goblins had to give up and never thought of stealing the Gryffindor Sword again.

...

Along with "Elementary Magic Forging", there is also a lot of knowledge related to forging.

There are similarities between magic and magic, even between forging and other magic, but if you want to connect them, you need enough knowledge as a foundation.

For Vizet, this forging knowledge is quite interesting, involving alchemy and the fine control of flames.

Magic forging is very similar to potion science, except that there is no crucible as a barrier, and metals and various materials are directly fused through the element of flame.

In the process of flame fusion of materials, the characteristics obtained by alchemy skills will be integrated into the metal, which is also the reason why it can be preserved for a long time.

After understanding these clearly, Vizet suddenly became quite interested in the forging process of the goblins.

He wanted to know whether there were some common characteristics between "Elementary Magic Forging" and goblin forging.

However, due to the character of the goblins, if you ask them about this knowledge, you will be considered to want to steal the goblin's secrets, and thus be besieged by the group.

...

The mine cart slowly stopped in front of a metal door, and the goblin immediately shouted in a sharp voice: "Sirs and ladies, we are here."

"Ugh!" Xenophilius was the first to jump off the mine cart, his face was pale and his steps were staggering.

He staggered to the corner, bent over and retched while coughing violently.

Luna hurriedly followed him, gently patting Xenophilius' back with her palm, helping him breathe a little bit to prevent Xenophilius from choking.

"Sir, I'll unlock the door for you now." The goblin unlocked the door, and there were piles of metal coins in the vault, including gold galleons, silver Sickles and copper knuts, which looked quite spectacular.

"Ahem..." Xenophilius's face finally looked better, and he pulled out an account book with trembling hands, "You count it... Anyway, I have written it clearly... You know the price too."

Vizet looked at Xenophilius. Although Xenophilius still looked bleak, his eyes did not dodge at all, and he could still see the seriousness in them.

Seeing that Vizet did not take any action, Xenophilius urged again: "You should be more careful! Although I will not lie to you, I may have miscalculated the account! You should at least check it."

The goblin suddenly interrupted: "Sir, Gringotts provides accounting services. If you are worried about miscalculating the account, we are willing to provide you with complete services. You only need to..."

Its mouth was grinning with a fake smile, and its hands were clasped together and kept rubbing, just like a philistine and cunning look.

"Oh! I remember!" Xenophilius slapped his forehead, "I did forget to write it down! If you keep the Galleons in Gringotts, they will charge a storage fee!"

"When you talked to me...how many Galleons were there every year? Anyway, you can calculate it! If there are some less, that is the storage fee charged by the goblins!"

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

Unconsciously, the time has come to December 24th.

The weather in the village of Ottery St. Catchpole was gloomy, and the slightly damp cold wind was like a ghost, wandering between the houses, making a "whooshing" noise.

A gray cloud spread out, covering the entire village, but there was no sign of snow.

Fortunately, a goal set last year finally came to fruition this year.

Vizet walked out of the garden, took out the wand from his pocket and pointed it at the sky, "Snowdrops!"

He chanted a spell and began to twist his wrist, as if stirring the clouds.

The gloomy clouds rolled gently, as if they were stirred by a washing machine, and the color changed from gray to milky white.

When the clouds stopped rolling, the first snowflake fell lightly and slowly lay on Vizet's hand;

Vizet looked around, and the second and third snowflakes appeared, and feather-like soft snowflakes fluttered in the air.

The damp cold wind disappeared silently, and the whole village became quiet, as if in a peaceful winter dream.

After a long time, the village and the grass were covered with a layer of snow-white cotton clothes, and Vizet called Luna out.

"It's snowing!"

Luna wore a mini unicorn hat, and at Xenophilius' request, she wrapped a furry milky white scarf around her neck, and then ran to Vizet excitedly.

Although Luna had seen more vast snow scenes when she was at Hogwarts, it was still a little different from the snow scenes after returning home.

Vizet walked in front, leaving thin footprints on the snow;

Luna followed Vizet's footprints behind, but she walked faster and faster, and soon she walked side by side with Vizet.

"Let's make a snowman!"

Luna suggested excitedly, trying to gather the snow around her into a small snowball, and then crouched and pushed it forward little by little.

"Okay!" Vizet nodded slightly, and pushed another snowball like Luna did.

Like Luna, he did not use any magic, and slowly pushed a snowball and merged it with Luna's snowball.

Luna clapped her hands, her fair cheeks flushed, and the mist she exhaled between her breaths dispersed in the air, spreading her bright smile along with it...

Chapter 23 Warm Blush

Xenophilius called out several times at the door, and Luna, who was having a lot of fun, stopped playing, put her hands on her hips, looked at the carefully dressed snowman, and nodded with satisfaction.

Both snowmen are chubby. One has two coal eyes and is wearing a sky-blue blanket. His smile is restrained, but you can still feel his joy.

The other snowman has blue glass beads in his eyes and wears a colorful polka-dot hat that is obviously too big. His head is tilted slightly to one side, which makes him look playful and energetic.

Luna took off her scarf again, wrapped it around the necks of the two snowmen, and waved to the sky blue blanket snowman, "Vizet, my dad called me back."

Vizet couldn't help laughing, looking at the blush on Luna's face, and waved to the polka dot hat snowman, "Luna, I should go back too."

"Then let's go back!" Luna smiled even more happily, squinting her eyes and looking at the real Vizet, "It's a pity that there is no time to build a dad."

"Mr. Lovegood?" Vizet murmured, "I have an idea..."

He grabbed a handful of white snow, picked up the magic wand and tapped it lightly, and the white snow continued to extend and lengthen, turning into a pink and white parasol, like the color of cotton candy.

Luna and him put up the parasol together. With this parasol, the two snowmen also had a small world.

…

In addition to buying new clothes, Xenophilius also bought colorful battery-powered light bulbs, stickers with bells, ribbons, balloons at the department store under Luna's strong suggestion...

These are some common decorations that Muggles use during festivals.

After a few days of hard work, the light bulbs, ribbons and other decorations have been hung up. As the three walked around the house, the breeze would drive the bells on the stickers, making crisp and pleasant sounds.

On Christmas Eve, when everything was ready, the three took out the balloons.

"Huh!" Xenophilius picked up the air pump and pressed it. He was frightened by the air flow from the nozzle and jumped up all of a sudden. "Press it and it will spray air?"

Vizet took out the magic wand, "Mr. Lovegood, if you are not used to it, you can try the water-making spell."

"Like this..." He poked the tip of the magic wand into the mouth of the balloon. "The air pump is used in a similar way. Put the place where the air is sprayed into the mouth of the balloon, and then push and pull."

"Water-making spell?" Xenophilius asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to make the balloon fly? Why do you need to fill it with water?"

"The water-making spell can be used for more than just filling water." Vizet replied with a smile, "The so-called water-making is actually similar to a feeling of moving."

"As long as you understand this principle clearly, you can use it to make the water-making spell release air, just like this... clear water like a spring!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the balloon quickly swelled up and became round and bulging.

"Clear water like a spring!" Luna chanted the spell in the same way, and after two breaths, the balloon was filled up.

Xenophilius took out his wand and thought carefully before trying, "Clear water like a spring?"

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Splashes of water sprayed out from the tip of his wand, as if water and air were mixed together and then pumped out together by the wand.

"Dad, you are amazing!"

"Mr. Lovegood, it's amazing that you can do this for the first time!"

Luna and Vizet said similar words almost at the same time.

"Uh..." Xenophilius waved his hand, "You don't have to comfort me."

Vizet explained: "Mr. Lovegood, Luna and I have been trying to use the principle to cast the water-making spell since the summer vacation..."

"It was not until I went home this time that I fully mastered it, but you have mastered the principle just by listening to us once. It's really amazing."

"Yes! Dad!" Luna grabbed Xenophilius's arm and acted coquettishly, "You are the best!"
