Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle
Chapter 17 The reason for not speaking is image issues
A month had passed in the blink of an eye since Harry had moved to the small bedroom on the second floor. Harry felt that this was his busiest holiday.
Yes, even though every holiday before, he spent a lot of effort and time playing "Catch Harry" with Dudley and his friends.
But compared to this holiday, the physical exertion and time consumption in the past will seem worthless.
But unlike before, he is enjoying it now. You only need to clean the house every day, learn magic control, and read interesting magic books. There is nothing more fulfilling than this.
Unlike Harry's thoughts, Mu En felt that more than a month was too long and too painful.
The reason is that he found some stories about Merlin in "Modern History of Magic", and among them he introduced that this "Jehovah of Wizards" was an Animagus.
And he is an Animagus who can transform into many kinds of animals.
Also known as animal wizards.
Needless to say, this spell caught his attention immediately.
It's not that he can't transform into an animal, but that's either just a "transformation technique" used for deception, or he can transform into an animal through the formation of his own human body.
The record about Merlin in the book is that when Mrs. Mim turned into a fire dragon, Merlin took the opportunity to turn into a germ and entered her body, attacked her, and won.
In other words, the upper limit of this spell... seems to be a bit too strong.
Especially Mu En's current situation, his head turned into a cat, which even caused his strength to drop a lot, which made him very distressed. And this body-changing magic allowed him to see some opportunities to break the situation.
Although it is recorded in the book that each Animagus can only transform into one kind of animal, that is not the case with Merlin... In the world of magic, there are no absolutes.
After all, the essence of magic is to create the impossible.
Of course, the premise is not to kill yourself.
So after he inquired about the relevant operation methods and deduced it based on the potion theory, he started to try it directly.
The first step is to hold a mandrake leaf in your mouth on a full moon day and continue until the next full moon.
During this period, the leaves cannot be swallowed or spit out under any circumstances. As soon as the leaves leave the mouth, the whole process starts again.
So in the past month, he basically didn't speak much.
But tonight, he was finally free.
Today is the full moon! !
At this time, the night was getting dark, and at eight o'clock at night, the sky was already full of stars.
Harry was constantly practicing magic control under the moonlight. He no longer uses dummies as targets to unleash his magic. With the help of magic potion, he has initially mastered the technique of bursting out magic power.
What he is doing now is trying to light the confetti in the brazier in front of him.
There is a goal, a specific direction of casting, and there is no emotional blessing, but only the desire to cast.
It's a lot harder than simply thinking about knocking down the dummy.
"Burn it!!" Harry raised his hand sharply and stared at the brazier.
Although this kind of language is a bit embarrassing to say, it can indeed play a role in subjective guidance to a certain extent.
In the brazier, a spark lit up on the scraps of paper, and Harry was immediately delighted. Unfortunately, it only took a blink of an eye for the spark to go out.
"Hey - fire it up!!" Harry growled again. He had been doing this training for a while, and this was the first time he saw Martian.
He could feel that he was just one step away.
Veins popped out on his forehead, his muscles tensed up, and he stared at the scraps of paper.
Just hearing a whirring sound, flames suddenly burst out of the paper scraps for no reason, just like the flames that suddenly exploded in a pot that was overheated.
"Succeeded!" Harry looked at the flames in the brazier in disbelief. Although it was very weak and kept swaying under the mountain wind, it was indeed a success.
Click——
The door slowly opened, and Harry turned to look, only to see Uncle Mu En coming out, and said quickly: "Uncle Mu En, I succeeded."
Mu En glanced at the flames and praised: "Not bad."
Eh?
Harry was also stunned for a moment. When was the last time he heard Uncle Moon speak?
A long time ago.
He still remembered that on the third day after he moved to the second floor, Uncle Mu En suddenly stopped talking.
When he asked why, Uncle Mu En just opened the book and showed him the first step of the Animagus magic practice.
It turned out that he had to put mandrake leaves in his mouth, which made him unable to speak.
Since then, Harry has never heard Uncle Moon's voice again.
In fact, Harry secretly tried to see if he could speak by putting leaves in his mouth, and the answer he got was - yes.
But he has a big tongue.
So Harry guessed that Uncle Moon felt that his big tongue would harm his suave image, so he just didn't speak.
If this child is not smart, if Mu En finds out, he will be punished.
"Uncle Moon, can you talk now?!" Harry was so happy.
Mu En nodded and looked at the moon in the sky. The summer evening breeze made the weather refreshing. The bright full moon just hangs in the sky, spreading its brilliance to the world without hesitation.
Mu En took out the mandrake from his mouth and put it into a small transparent glass bottle, then added a teaspoon of collected dew and the pupa of a ghost-faced hawkmoth.
Finally, it was a hair of his own, no, it was a beard.
He has no hair now.
At first he wanted to use hair, but the hair on his face was thick and thick, so he finally chose a beard that has the same concept as hair on the human body.
After doing all this, Mu En recalled the subsequent details in his mind, and wanted to hide the potion in a dark and secret place. But at the same time, not in the residence. And make sure it is not exposed to any prying eyes or sunlight.
Mu En already has related plans for these. He turned his hand and dug into the roots of the redwood trees next to the castle. He heard the sound of the wood breaking, and a large hole was revealed.
This is a wild place, and the potion can absorb natural energy on its own, but because of the redwood trees and this hole, sunlight cannot shine in.
After placing the small bottle in place, he repaired the hole again, then took out his wand and began to set up a defensive formation to avoid accidents.
He didn't want to have to do it again, it was torture to have a blade of grass in his mouth for an entire month.
Mu En did all this without avoiding Harry. At this time, Harry came over with stern eyes: "Uncle Mu En, is this Animagus? Why is it obviously a kind of magic, but I feel like It’s like making a potion.”
Mu En nodded and said: "Animagus is obviously a sophisticated magic that combines potions and transformation.
Don’t be surprised, magic comes in many forms. Remember what I said in Knockturn Alley a month ago? "
Harry recalled it for a moment and said bluntly: "You said they were all rubbish."
Mu En opened his mouth and shook his head: "No, it's not about this. It's about magic."
Harry thought about it again, and then the memory suddenly came to him, his eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "You said they still use 'waves' to express magic.
Finally, Harry added: "It's all rubbish!"
Mu En nodded and rubbed Harry's head: "That's right, so you have to remember that magic has various expressions. You must not become a guy who only makes waves in the future."
