Witcher at Hogwarts

"We'd better go upstairs," Mr. Lovegood said happily. He led the way, leading Ethan and Dobby up the cast iron spiral staircase.

The room above seemed to be both a living room and a workspace, so it was even messier than the kitchen.

There were all kinds of sundries stuffed everywhere, which dazzled Ethan. The room was a standard circle.

There were piles of books and papers on every surface, and hanging from the ceiling were elaborate models of animals that must have been enchanted, flapping their wings or moving their mouths.

What made those noises was a wooden printer, and Ethan could see that there were many gears inside that were turned by magic.

It looks like a cross between a workbench and a pile of old shelves. The machine rumbles and spits out copies of "The Quibbler."

This machine was a bit too noisy, and Dobby's hearing was very sensitive. The sound of the machine's operation made Dobby cover his ears in pain.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Seeing Dobby in pain, Mr. Lovegood immediately strode to the machine.

After rummaging for a while, he pulled out a dirty tablecloth from under a pile of books and papers, and rolled the books and papers to the floor.

He put the cloth over the printing press to cover up some of the ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-crack-crack-crack sounds. Dobby finally felt more comfortable and let go of his hands covering his ears.

Dobby, who felt more comfortable, began to look around the house. Suddenly Dobby screamed, patted Ethan's leg, and pointed to something for Ethan to look at.

Dobby pointed to a large gray spiral horn, not unlike a unicorn's, mounted on the wall and extending several feet into the room.

Mr. Lovegood noticed Dobby's movements and explained to him, "That's the Horned Snorlax's horn."

Ethan was a little surprised when he heard this. Could it be that the Bent-Horned Snorlax that Luna mentioned actually existed?

"That's not it!" Dobby said in fear, "That's the horn of a poison horned beast!

Dobby has helped his master buy this kind of thing before! , it will explode at the slightest touch! It is extremely dangerous to keep in your home! "

After hearing Dobby's words, Ethan instinctively moved two steps back, trying to stay as far away from that terrifying horn as possible.

"The Snorlax," said Mr. Lovegood very clearly, with a stubborn expression on his face, "is a shy, very magical creature, and its horns-"

"Mr. Lovegood, Dobby recognized the grooves at the root. It is indeed the horn of a poison horn. It's too dangerous. Dobby doesn't know where you got it from." Dobby nervously repeated He pinched his big ears.

Being in the same room with something as big as a bomb made Dobby extremely nervous.

"Bought it," said Mr. Lovegood stubbornly, "bought it two weeks ago from a lovely young wizard who knew I loved wonderful scimitar-horned snores. I gave it to Luna. A Christmas surprise.

"Okay, everyone, please sit down." Mr. Lovegood seemed not to want to dwell on this matter. He took out a few wooden stools and invited everyone to sit down around a large round wooden table.

"I came here to ask Luna for some help." As soon as he sat down, Ethan told him the purpose of coming.

"Looking for help from Luna?" Mr. Lovegood was a little surprised that Ethan, a professor at Hogwarts, actually came to his daughter for help.

"What exactly is it?" Mr. Lovegood asked Ethan curiously.

Ethan then gave Mr. Lovegood and Luna a detailed introduction to the gameplay of Gwent and his own ideas for designing Gwent.

Luna and Mr. Lovegood held Ethan's Gwent cards and observed curiously.

The beautiful characters on the cards fascinate them.

"So you want Luna to help you draw the Gwent characters?" Mr. Lovegood asked.

"Yes, Luna has an extraordinary talent for painting, so I want to hire her to help me make Gwent cards. I wonder if Luna is willing to do it one by one."

"I do! I do!" Before Ethan could finish speaking, Luna shouted happily.

"I can give Luna a basic salary of 50 gold galleons a month, and of course there will be dividends to Luna at the end of the year." Ethan said about the salary package for Luna.

But neither Luna nor Mr. Lovegood seemed to be interested in money. When Ethan said about Jin Galleons, they just nodded casually.

At this time, the father and daughter's attention was focused on those exquisite Gwent cards. They kept picking up the cards and observing them carefully.

"Of course, Dobby will also come to help you make Gwent cards together." Ethan introduced Dobby to the father and daughter.

"Hello, Mr. Dobby, it's a pleasure to work with you." Both Luna and Mr. Lovegood stood up and shook hands with Dobby again.

Dobby shook hands with the two of them awkwardly. He was still not used to such treatment.

Dobby and Luna soon began to practice drawing Gwent. Dobby chose to draw Harry Potter, and Luna was actually drawing Ethan.

As the two worked on Gwent, Ethan and Mr. Lovegood chatted.

Only then did Ethan realize that painting was really Luna's area of ​​expertise, and that Luna had always been responsible for producing the illustrations and covers of "The Quibbler".

While the two were chatting, Luna and Dobby completed the production of the first Gwent card.

Luna's drawing of Ethan appears to be based on a photo of Ethan from his first appearance in the Daily Prophet.

In the painting, Ethan is holding a long sword and pointing murderously forward, which looks very realistic.

Ethan was very satisfied with Luna's painting skills and praised Luna. Luna smiled happily after accepting Ethan's praise.

Dobby's works are not so satisfying, but it is not a matter of painting quality.

House elves are still very talented in art, but the problem is that the Harry painted by Dobby is a bit heroic.

The Harry in Dobby's painting is much taller than he is. He looks tall and handsome, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, so that Harry's shadow cannot be seen at all.

Ethan asked Dobby why he painted Harry like this, and Dobby said that in his eyes, Harry himself looked like this.

Although Ethan discussed with Harry several times and asked Dobby to redraw many chapters, there was still no big change. Dobby stubbornly believed that Harry was like this in his eyes.

In desperation, Harry had to let Luna be responsible for drawing Harry.

Next, Ethan designed four decks, namely the Hogwarts deck, the Ministry of Magic deck, the Fantastic Beasts deck, and the Death Eater deck.

And tasks have been assigned to Luna and Dobby. They only need to complete the first set of sample cards, and the remaining cards can be printed based on this set of sample cards.

The initial card Ethan only selected the main and representative characters from each major camp, while the new character Ethan added in the future plans to choose to borrow the extraordinary influence of Gwent and let people pay to name it.

After hearing the arrangement, both Luna and Dobby looked very excited and wanted to start painting something big now.

Ethan, who had arranged all this, left the cardboard, ink and brushes at Luna's house for their convenience in painting.
