"And there's Headmaster Dumbledore's amazing armor magic!"
Vizette was also very much looking forward to this magic, after all, it was related to ancient magic.
Perhaps after he masters armor magic, he can create a unique spark with "The Wizarding Guide to Combat"?
Xenophilius sat in the middle and glanced in Vizette's direction.
He then thought to himself, "What is this child doing? He's actually listing out his study plans for the next school year?"
"What's going on here! Why do I feel like he has Pandora's shadow in him? And these names..."
"Besides Snape giving him private lessons, Headmaster Dumbledore is also preparing to... Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
He shuddered and looked at Luna seriously, saying, "Honey, don't push yourself too hard. Remember to balance work and rest... no! Get plenty of rest and have fun!"
"Hmm?" Luna tilted her head, looked at Xenophilius's serious expression, and nodded. "Dad, you should also get more rest."
She leaned forward, looking at Vizette who was still browsing his notes, and said softly, "I'll make sure he gets some rest too..."
"I hope so!" Xenophilius sighed inwardly as he looked at Luna's serious expression.
In fact, Luna was more like Pandora, with a lot of whimsical ideas in her head and a love for doing things on her own.
Given Vizette's current research enthusiasm, the two of them might even get together and study some strange and unusual magical knowledge together?
Xenophilius recalled Pandora from the past, a girl full of curiosity and whimsical ideas;
In order to be with Pandora, he risked everything and founded the magazine "The Quibbler," which was dedicated to collecting all sorts of strange and interesting stories in order to attract Pandora's attention.
That must have been the happiest time of his life.
Every day, he would gather around Pandora, telling her all sorts of newly collected stories and making her laugh...
"Panny…" Thinking of this, Xenophilius's nose suddenly stung with tears, and he whispered Pandora's nickname, "I miss you!"
Luna stretched out both hands and grasped Xenophilius's large palms. "Daddy!"
"There might be some kind of potion here!" Seeing Luna's concerned look, Xenophilius said hoarsely, "I've been here too long, so the potion worked on me!"
Luna nodded repeatedly, "Then let's get our passports sorted out and leave here as soon as possible, and then we'll have Vizette brew the antidote for you."
"Preparing an antidote?" Vizette looked up, wrinkled his nose, and sniffed. "It doesn't seem to have any strange smell..."
"If it's an emergency, you can try bezoars first. These stones, which are taken from the stomach of goats, have a strong detoxifying effect!"
"Uh… a stone in the goat's stomach?" Seeing Vizette's serious expression, Xenophilius paused. "Actually, like you did last night… going out for some fresh air should have been fine."
Luna said with relief, "That's good. Don't push yourself too hard!"
...
The passport application process was tedious but not complicated. It mainly involved submitting various documents and answering questions while taking a small dose of truth serum in the presence of an Auror.
Because of the Auror's testimony, British Ministry of Magic staff would only follow regulations, verifying the information while having the person handling it repeat the content to ensure the credibility of the information.
It was precisely because of the existence of truth serum that dark wizards who commit crimes would never apply for wizard passports, lest they expose their crimes and be caught red-handed by the Auror Office.
After the series of procedures were completed, Vizette and his companions not only received a passport, but also a blank card.
The passport was stamped with the British Ministry of Magic's "M" seal. If you looked closely, you could discover that the passport contained some kind of magic.
A blank card was like a small mirror, and it could actually reflect a picture, though it didn't seem as magical as the Mirror of Erised.
After an explanation from a British Ministry of Magic official, Vizette finally understood the card's magic.
For a wizard, this blank card could indeed only be used as a mirror;
Only when the Muggle received the card could they see that it was a passport, a passport that could be used in the Muggle world.
The magical principles behind it were quite interesting; it employed at least a very weak form of Legilimency and some kind of manifestation magic.
A weak form of Legilimency was almost ineffective against wizards, but it worked perfectly against Muggles, as it could manifest the image of a passport based on what the Muggle imagined it to be.
Just be careful about how you use it. Before submitting the card, you needed to state your name so that the corresponding information could be displayed on your passport.
...
Through this trip, Xenophilius regained his confidence.
He triumphantly led Luna and Vizette back to the Leaky Cauldron by taking the Muggle bus, and then returned home via the Floo Network.
After receiving Luna's repeated "Daddy's so awesome" compliments, a smile never left his face.
Vizette was a little worried by his smug expression, wondering if the muscles in his face had frozen.
Xenophilius was in a rush when he went to the British Ministry of Magic in the morning, so he didn't cook any food in advance.
Vizette then suggested that he make the magic bread.
His skill in controlling fire magic was far inferior to Dumbledore's.
The crust of the magic bread he made this time was far worse than he had expected; the charred surface had burned his hands, leaving marks.
The good news was that he incorporated his morning's experiment into the dough and successfully baked bread shaped like a simple line drawing of an owl.
Because the cooking time wasn't controlled very well, the color of the owl bread's back was somewhat similar to the brown feathers of a real owl.
Nevertheless, Luna and Xenophilius were still very supportive, peeling off the carbonized outer layer and taking a big bite, which moved Vizette somewhat.
But to his surprise, Luna and Xenophilius, after eating the bread, both had their eyes turn red.
Xenophilius choked back tears, stuffing bread into his mouth as he mumbled incoherently, "Pandora… I miss you…!"
Luna was also in tears; when she touched her cheeks with her fingers, streaks of gray and white appeared, making her look like a teary-eyed short-haired cat.
Vizette half-squatted down next to Luna, somewhat at a loss, and asked, "Is...is something wrong?"
"It's delicious…" Luna shook her head gently. "I can feel my mother's care in the bread."
"Mom's concern?" Vizette frowned slightly, but was somewhat relieved, thankfully nothing bad had happened from the food.
He looked at Luna's smudged face, his lips slightly upturned, as if he couldn't help but chuckle.
Luna had recovered, blinked her innocent big eyes, and asked softly, "Is there something on my face?"
Vizette nodded, took out the blank card, and placed it in front of Luna…
