Vizette had previously heard Luna mention that there were other wizarding families around the village of Ottery St. Catchpole.
Mrs. Weasley, carrying a shopping basket, walked ahead. "The Diggory family lives around here. Their children are much easier to manage than Fred and George."
"Fawcett's family also lives nearby. I think they have a daughter who should be starting school this year. You might run into her again when school starts."
She is a talkative and easy-going person, and chatting with her is like having a casual conversation; there is not much of a sense of distance.
"Since Mrs. Lovegood's accident, her family has become very secluded, and we haven't had much contact with them over the years."
"Luna is a good kid, but her thinking is a bit scattered, and even Fred and George often can't keep up with her."
Vizette had been in this world for less than two months, and he mainly listened to Mrs. Weasley and gave occasional responses.
He smiled slightly, "For me, many of the things Luna said were very inspiring."
If it weren't for Luna's protection and inspiration, he wouldn't have been able to cast that shield spell when encountering the Runespoor snake.
"That's wonderful!" Mrs. Weasley looked at the stream in the distance. "I pass by that stream occasionally, and I've often seen Luna there in the last couple of years."
"She was always catching fish while crying, and when she saw me, she would immediately run home. It must be very difficult for a child who hasn't even started school yet to have someone by her side, right?"
Vizette was touched by Mrs. Weasley's words, and his heart seemed to skip a beat. "That shouldn't be the case now."
Mrs. Weasley said with a smile, "That's wonderful."
Despite the kind smile, Vizette felt inexplicably irritated—Hogwarts employed a closed-campus system, allowing students to leave the school only during the summer holidays and Christmas break…
Two moons appeared on the hill.
One moon hangs high in the sky, while another full moon floats above the chariot-shaped castle.
That was Luna's mother's masterpiece, supposedly inspired by a magical experiment.
From then on, the darker the sky became, the more distinct the full moon appeared over the castle.
If we observe with the Magic Eye, can we see any unusual scenes?
Vizette's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes filled with a silver-blue light.
The silver-blue magic flowed like liquid, filling the entire castle, especially the full moon, whose silver-blue magic was extremely dazzling.
Most importantly, these are ancient magical powers that have been nurtured over time, and it seems that he can integrate them into his eyes if he so desires.
He did not do that.
Because at night, Luna loved to go for a walk on the rooftop and gaze at the moon above the castle.
Vizette suddenly wondered if Luna's mother had studied ancient magic.
"This is my first time here at night, it's so beautiful!" Mrs. Weasley suddenly said, handing the shopping basket to Vizette.
"I'll see you off here. These vegetables are all homegrown. Please give my regards to Mr. Lovegood and Luna."
With her eyesight restored, Vizette said sincerely, "Yes, Mrs. Weasley, I don't know how to thank you enough."
Mrs. Weasley disappeared into the night, and a fluffy owl chirped merrily as it nestled into Vizette's arms.
"Coo coo coo!" The birdcage on the crucible shook gently, and the bronze owl inside called out urgently, as if to greet someone.
Soft, light footsteps approached, and Luna looked at Vizette quietly with a faint smile.
"Isn't Diagon Alley amazing?" Her voice was still light and airy. "Getting bothered by those pesky fly gnomes? You can write to me if you get to school!"
"Coo-coo!" Diana the owl puffed out her chest and chirped twice in response.
"Yes, you can write letters." Vizette smiled with relief and shook her head gently.
Luna always had this kind of magic that could easily resolve his confusion.
Setting aside her worries, Vizette pointed to the restless owl. "What do you think this little guy should be called?"
"What a cute little guy, so energetic," Luna mused. "How about we name him Thor? The sun and the moon always take turns appearing."
"It's a good name."
The two walked on the soft grass toward the ancient castle where two moons hung in the sky.
-------------------------------------
Before they knew it, it was already the end of August, and tomorrow was the first day of school at Hogwarts.
A little over a month isn't a long time, and Vizette used that time to prepare for school and also tidy up his room.
Luna played a significant role in this.
Or rather, she single-handedly handled the room's decoration.
In addition to replacing the mattress and wallpaper, she also strung together airships to decorate the bed curtains.
This is a magical material shaped like a miniature radish. It is said that by coming into contact with the airship Li more often, one can increase their ability to accept unusual things.
Li's presence can be seen everywhere in the castle, including Luna's earrings, which were also made by Li.
Xenophilius, as the editor of The Quibbler, would work in a room filled with flying boat-shaped decorations, supposedly to generate a constant stream of inspiration.
The second floor of the castle was particularly lively, as it was the printing period for The Quibbler.
The magic printing press was running at full capacity, its clicking sound echoing from day to dusk.
The printing press used by the wizard was very special. It was made of wood, with iron sheets used only in key locations, resembling a spinning machine from the Industrial Revolution.
With the blessing of magic, a magical printing press encompasses the functions of a series of machines, including a folding machine, a binding machine, and a cutting machine.
Xenophilius's task was simple: design the first draft and then insert it into the printing press.
The machine will then operate automatically, printing out one finished magazine after another.
The machine wasn't very efficient; after several days, it only printed less than a hundred copies of The Quibbler.
During this time, Vizette also rewrote the textbooks he would be using.
As the saying goes, a bad pen is worse than a good memory. In the process of copying the textbook, he gained a general understanding of the teaching content for the new school year.
The illustrations used in the textbook were also designed by Luna.
She was very good at drawing; she could draw the corresponding image as long as Vizette described it.
He has shown unparalleled talent, especially in drawing magical creatures, and each one is drawn with remarkable realism.
"My mom and I read Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," Luna explained with a smile. "I've seen all the magical creatures in it, except for the Snorkhorn."
Vizette asked, "Curved-horned snore beast? I'll check Flourish and Blotts next time and see if they have any books on it."
"It should be very difficult to find," Luna said with a regretful expression. "It's an extremely rare and magical animal."
"My dad told me they live in Sweden, and I will go find them myself and draw them."
Go to Sweden.
Vizette made a mental note of this.
On the last night of August, Xenophilius did not cook himself, but ordered a lavish dinner at home from a nearby Muggle restaurant.
"Remember to write back often." That was his only instruction. "Share things with us about school, anything... You know what I mean."
"I understand." Vizette smiled and tossed two steaks out the window. "Then they'll have to do their work."
Two owls transformed into fluffy lightning bolts, snatching the steak in their beaks mid-air and cooing twice.
-------------------------------------
On the first day of school, Vizette checked his admission notice again and checked the items in his suitcase over and over again before he finally felt at ease and pulled his suitcase downstairs.
Luna sat in the living room, the bright sunlight streaming through the window, gilding her pale golden hair with a golden sheen.
She was grooming Thor's feathers, tidying each one meticulously.
"I'm going to school," Vizette said softly.
"Mmm!" Luna's voice was a little dazed. "Although saying goodbye is always a little sad, every parting is preparation for the next reunion."
She handed him a vibrant green Gurdyroot, saying, "If you encounter difficulties or confusion, it will bring you good luck. It has... the taste of home."
That's true. Gurdyroot looks and tastes similar to onions, but only Luna's family makes it into tea.
"It really tastes like home, a taste that's unique to this place." Vizette nodded; the gift was very much in line with Luna's style.
