[HP:Failed Art Student]-Chapter 4: Luna Lovegood

"If you master Transfiguration, your wand can become your paintbrush," Ollivander added. "A paintbrush that feels perfectly natural in your hand."

"Of course, as they say, it’s the wand that chooses the wizard."

The old door hinge let out a grating squeak.

Ethan Vincent pushed the door open, his cobalt-blue eyes blinking uncomfortably in the dim light of the room.

Bang!

With a jolt, Severus Snape shot to his feet.

His eyes were locked onto the painting before him, a flicker of fear flashing in their depths.

As if he were staring down a terrifying curse—or perhaps the most irresistible confection.

1991, Spinner’s End.

Ethan had just wrapped up a long day of street-side sketching.

Clutching a stack of yellowed, ragged-edged papers to his chest and gripping a few charcoal pencils of various thicknesses in his smudged little hands, he trudged through the door.

“Obviously!” Ron said gleefully. “I bet he wouldn’t dare come near Harry—not after that Quidditch match. If he saw it, he’d be hiding as far away as possible to avoid Harry burning him to ashes!”

Even using his toes to think, Harry could guess who this old woman was, her hatred for him so blatant it was practically written on her face—Mary, the mother of Peter Pettigrew.

“I agree with you,” Cassandra said, wrinkling her nose. “But since he’s collected the fake Gryffindor Sword and the Hufflepuff Cup, doesn’t that mean the remaining two relics of the Founders might also be in his possession? Turned into Horcruxes?”

“How long will this take?” Fudge asked.

Hearing the shouts from outside, Harry instinctively glanced at Veratia.

In no time, Snape appeared in the Headmaster’s office, his face expressionless, cradling a large bucket of Polyjuice Potion.

“Dumbledore.”

Snape set the bucket of Polyjuice Potion on the desk in the Headmaster’s office. The potion sloshed twice, emitting a watery gurgle.

According to Rita, convincing Fudge had been a grueling ordeal, requiring every ounce of her cunning and eloquence to make that dim-witted pig grasp the critical points.

On October 9th, it was Quidditch match day. A light rain fell, but it wasn’t heavy enough to cancel.
