Flitwick's mastery of the sign surprised Ethan, and in return, Ethan's sword dance greatly astonished Flitwick.

The little wizards observed Ethan and Flitwick with awe, their expectations surpassed, gaining a deeper understanding of their professor.

Senior students delved into the intricacies, showing keen interest in Ethan's sign. They surrounded Hermione and Penelope, inquiring meticulously.

Hermione and Penelope, thrilled, witnessed the signs in actual combat for the first time. They realized the immense significance of their research.

The final dueling club's first meeting concluded with the laughter of the little wizards, satisfied by the professors' fantastic duel.

Lockhart was utterly ignored, even as Professor Flitwick announced the club's end. As the auditorium emptied, Lockhart stood alone. The candles gradually extinguished, leaving only a small flame above Lockhart's head.

Lockhart's usual sunny smile vanished, replaced by a gloomy expression under the dim candlelight. After standing quietly in the auditorium for a while, Lockhart, unknowingly stepping on a dirty hat, tightly wrapped his robe and swiftly departed.

Following the conclusion of the dueling club, Ethan received a warm welcome from the Hogwarts students. Complaints from the seniors in the comprehensive training class disappeared, replaced by unprecedented enthusiasm. The students believed that with hard work, they would eventually master the cool and formidable moves showcased by Ethan in dueling.

Ron faced recent sadness as he discovered his wand accidentally broken during a fight with Malfoy after the dueling club. Despite Hermione's attempts to repair it with a spell, the wand remained malfunctioning. Ron sought magic glue from the Weasleys, yet he hesitated to cast spells, fearing his wand might explode or break again.

Finally free, Ethan attended to the centaurs' invitation. The cold winter in Scotland prompted him to wear a wizard robe enchanted with a constant temperature spell, providing a comfort that surpassed the magic of his previous world.

As Ethan walked on the snow-covered ground, its faint creaking sound accompanied each step. Approaching the edge of the Forbidden Forest in winter, the empty and desolate atmosphere made Ethan playful. He kicked a slender tree, causing the snow on its branches to fall like a gentle flurry.

Holding his head high, Ethan relished the cold snow mist falling on his face. Suddenly, a voice called, "Professor Ethan?" Swiftly turning, he found Luna behind him, her silver eyes reflecting confusion about his behavior.

Attempting to maintain his professorial majesty, Ethan stood upright. However, the falling snow covered his eyebrows and head, unintentionally adding a touch of humor.

Addressing Luna, Ethan seized the opportunity to shift the conversation, reminding her of the Forbidden Forest's danger. Luna, with a melodic voice, insisted her friends weren't dangerous.

Only then did Ethan notice a small figure behind a nearby tree—a pale golden little unicorn. It seemed young, still wobbly on its feet. Staggering to Luna's side, the little unicorn playfully licked her hand.

Tickled by the unicorn, Luna giggled. After calming the playful creature, she turned to Ethan, pointing to the depths of the Forbidden Forest. "Professor Ethan, the centaurs are waiting for you."

Despite Ethan using his demon-hunting senses to probe the woods, he found nothing. Helpless at Luna's detached character, he instructed her to return to the castle, threatening a deduction for her actions.

Thanking Ethan happily, Luna promised to return immediately after sending the little unicorn home. With a cheerful goodbye, she walked towards the forest's outskirts, the little unicorn stumbling after her.

Watching Luna depart, Ethan resumed his journey to the centaur tribe, delving into the Forbidden Forest's depths. The trees thickened, dimness enveloped the surroundings, and an eerie atmosphere emerged.

A rush of hooves caught Ethan's attention. Turning warily, he spotted a strange creature emerging from the bushes.
