Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle

Purple clouds filled the sky, and in the Screaming Shack in Hogsmeade, Mu En opened the door and came out. Some cold wind suddenly hit his face, and he threw his scarf back.

Following the snow path towards Hogwarts, he stepped into the school not long after.

Looking from a distance, he saw several black spots dancing outside the castle, and the sound of the curse was caught early by his pointed ears.

When he got closer, he saw Ron and Draco having a raging battle.

Within a moment, with a disarming spell that seemed to use all his strength, Draco's wand flew high in Ron's direction and plunged straight into the snowdrift.

Draco looked unkind and rubbed his wrist: "You're lucky, I didn't even do any warm-up exercises."

It's just that his tone was really calm, and although he had that unhappy look on his face, it felt like he didn't mind the failure at all.

As for Ron, he looked at his hands and the wand in his hands in disbelief.

"Ron, you did it!" Neville walked over happily, obviously surprised by Ron's results.

Although I was somewhat surprised by Draco's 'dish', I didn't think much about it.

"Did I win?"

"Don't be too proud." Draco said coldly, picked up his wand and glanced at him.

"During the duel competition, I will beat you until you can't stand up."

Unfortunately, Ron didn't hear what Draco said.

He was still immersed in the joy of winning.

After the morning classes, Harry and Draco sat on the long Slytherin table in the Great Hall and talked.

"Your acting skills are quite poor." Harry said.

"Is it clumsy?" Draco smiled: "It's enough to fool them. To be honest, if it weren't for you, I would just beat him up."

"What's the point?" Harry shook his head: "For this kind of small quarrel, just take a step back from each other, and don't forget, this is the quarrel you started."

"Obviously that guy is too annoying." Draco stabbed the soft potatoes on the plate with his fork: "But I thought that guy would just yell about defeating me. At least he was like this before. people."

As he said this, he glanced left and right, watching to see if any Slytherin suddenly came over and said, 'Draco, have you really been taught a lesson by that Weasley? ’ Or maybe he was watching the Gryffindor table to see if anyone looked at him abnormally.

After some observation, the answer is - no!

"He is indeed different from before," Draco said.

"Yeah" Harry just agreed casually.

Suddenly, his peripheral vision caught a dark figure.

When he wanted to look up, the figure had already come close to him.

"Potter!" Snape's deep voice sounded.

"Professor Snape." Harry stood up quickly. It seemed that Professor Snape's expression was not very good.

Is it because of the old book I got?

It's a worthless thing to begin with, but if I take it.

Just as he was thinking wildly, Snape slowly said: "I remember I once gave you a Christmas homework, and half a month has passed since I gave it to you."

"Huh?" Harry looked at Snape in confusion.

"Blood Wolf Potion!" Snape gritted his teeth and reminded, "Don't tell me that you just wasted your vacation on having fun."

Suddenly, Harry remembered this thing. It was the potion that Snape gave him on Christmas Day.

but

"Sorry, Professor, I haven't tried brewing that yet—"

"Sorry?!" Snape looked down at him. For Potter, he didn't need to hear what he said next. It was just an excuse anyway.

"You'd better act quickly. My patience is limited. Of course, if you now say that you are a waste who knows nothing about potions, then I am willing to turn around and leave." Snape said,

"Uh, sorry, Professor, I'll do it as soon as possible." Harry said helplessly.

After getting the answer, Snape snorted with satisfaction from his nostrils, then turned and left, his robes raised high and his movements vigorous and resolute.

Watching Snape disappear into the Great Hall, Harry couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately it's not a big deal.

But for such a small matter, he still needs to come to see him?

Was he so disgusted with brewing potions for Professor Lupine?

"Why is Snape looking for you?" Draco listened in confusion.

"It's not just a potion, he hopes I can learn it as soon as possible." Harry shook his head helplessly and quickly finished the food on the plate: "I'm leaving, time waits for no one."

With that said, he hurriedly ran upstairs.

After Harry left, in the bustling auditorium, Astoria looked at Draco and whispered: "Did Mr. Potter not notice what happened in the morning?"

"Of course not." Draco raised his head: "With me here, how could he find out."

"That's good." Astoria breathed a long sigh of relief.

Night, eighth floor.

Mu En stood in front of the door of the Room of Requirement, tapping with her fingers.

Dong Dong——

After a moment, with a creak and a little dust falling, the heavy wooden door was opened.

Harry looked at Moon at the door in surprise and turned sideways.

"Uncle Mu En, why are you here?"

"Study the Room of Requirement." Mu En answered casually. When he walked into the room, he could see that the room was clean and tidy. There was nothing else except a sealing spell on the door lock.

No, it should be said that there was a box, which was placed right in the center of this square stone room.

"It seems that you have more than one layer of protection." Mu En praised.

"Yes." Harry nodded repeatedly: "Uncle Mu En, if you want to use the Room of Requirement, then I can pack up and leave now. Only one room can be materialized here at a time."

"I know." Mu En nodded. Although it was his first time here, he was not surprised by Harry's words.

"I tried it outside the door just now. I originally thought that your current location would be exiled to other levels, but unfortunately it didn't. It seems that the most basic first come first served is emphasized here."

"Uh" Harry was a little embarrassed.

"Look at your research during this period." Mu En turned and said, "Is it unsafe here? So that you need to add an additional sealing spell and an alarm spell."

"The alarm spell is mainly used as a doorbell." Harry explained: "As for the sealing spell, it is more because I don't want others to come in when I'm not here."

Before, he only conducted basic alchemy experiments based on simple book learning here.

Now, he basically spends most of his spare time here, and the various auxiliary tools used for learning have also increased accordingly. He can't take those things away every time he goes back and forth.

Simply take one of the countless rooms in this room of the Requirement for himself.

Simple, direct and efficient.

Not long after, the two came to the box.

This is the box of little Barty, but the difference is that in addition to the room at the beginning, there is a new door.

As for the furnishings in the room, in addition to the basic long and thick desk and piled up books, there is also a hammock with clothes for changing scattered on the bed.

Books and draft papers were piled up randomly on the table, and there were also many on the ground. In addition to various basic and even advanced magic subjects, there were also middle school mathematics, basic biology and other books.

Harry scratched his head embarrassedly, stood between Muen and the pile of clothes, and tried to block them.

If Hermione saw this mess here, she might be very surprised.

After all, this living environment without beauty and dogma is completely different from Harry's external performance.

But after being shocked, she might only be helpless and muttered: "It's the same lineage."

Of course, Muen didn't have this consciousness.

"It's really a mess, alas." He shook his head in disbelief. "What should you do without a house elf to clean it up?"

Harry was a little embarrassed

Uncle Muen, you... Oh, I am the house elf of the Moonlight Castle, that's fine.

"Have all the sixth grade books been read to pieces?" Muen picked up a tattered old book on the table in surprise, a little confused.

I'm afraid it will take a while to read it thoroughly.

"Half-Blood Prince" Mu En sighed.

"Oh, right." Harry also remembered: "Uncle Mu En, do you know who this person is? This book is an old book I found in the potion classroom."

Harry had read this book this afternoon and found that this author - is really something.

His characters are messy and his words are arrogant.

But his annotations are always to the point, such as in the first chapter of the advanced potion making in this book, which records the living hell soup.

The book clearly records that the sleepy beans should be sliced ​​and then added to the potion.

And under the notes of this half-blood prince, it is simply said that "squeezing the beans with the side of the knife is easier to get juice than slicing."

This bold conclusion that sees through the essence of potions, Harry doesn't know how this guy came up with it.

Especially when he is a student.

Harry is not saying that squeezing with a knife is easier to get juice than slicing is a great operation.

Rather, how did this guy called the Half-Blood Prince determine that the main required ingredient of the sleepy beans in the living hell decoction is juice, not bean skin or bean core and bean sac.

After the juice extraction process in advance, because the required ingredients of the potion were efficiently precipitated in advance, how did this guy achieve perfect optimization of the subsequent adjustment of the brewing time and technique.

Each step here should require repeated attempts and a lot of time to try before a conclusion can be drawn.

But this guy. It's like he optimized the entire brewing process during the brewing process in class at that time, and then simply recorded it in the textbook.

"This guy is a potion genius." Harry said.

"Genius?" Mu En also carefully observed the optimization operation made by the guy, and began to practice the logical feasibility of the optimization process in his mind.

After a moment, he nodded.

"This guy is really good, but his tone is too arrogant, and the handwriting is really ugly."

As he said, he put the book down: "This shows that when this guy was studying the course at that time, he already had a very rich background in potions.

He knows what chemical reactions will occur when different medicinal properties are combined, and he also knows that different methods can stimulate various corresponding effects of potions. Only in this way can he make these adjustments.

But I really don't know this person, and I haven't received such ugly words in the submissions received at the Expo. "

"Okay." Harry nodded and gave up the idea of ​​looking for this talented person.

A guess has already arisen in his mind.

Perhaps this person has died in the first magical war launched by Voldemort.

Damn Voldemort, it's a pity for this person called the Half-Blood Prince, so

It's a pity

"It seems that the room where you brew potions is not here." Mu En put the book down: "This book is very interesting. If you can thoroughly study his ideas for improving potions and the principles behind them, you can pass the Hogwarts Potions course with an O grade. "

"Okay." Harry nodded repeatedly.

After looking around, Mu En set his sights on the newly appeared door.

"It looks like you have made some bold attempts. "

Harry noticed Moon's gaze and nodded repeatedly.

"I read in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" that Mr. Newt Scamander once said that he had a huge ecological box. He traveled all over the world with such a box to take in those magical animals that were endangered or whose living environment was not safe. So after getting Barty's box, I wondered if I could expand it into such a box. "

"It's very difficult." Moon nodded: "But it's worth a try."

"Is it very difficult?" Harry looked at Moon in surprise: "The template I preset is like the basement of Moonlight Castle. "

"Well, that's even more difficult. "Moon thought and pushed open the door, and was greeted by the smell of potion and the dull heat.

A new room has been expanded here, and it looks like it is about thirty square meters.

There are crude runes engraved around the walls. It is obvious that this method comes from the "Perfict Array" he exhibited at the Expo.

And the magic runes are the modern magic runes that Harry is most familiar with.

"A new way." He put his hand on the wall, and his eyes ignored the crucible that was boiling the potion, the frog that was breathing fire in the cage, and the white mouse living in the water.

Instead, he felt the spatial fluctuations coming from the wall.

"Do you know the difference between the basement and here? "He let go of his hand, and the wall began to tremble gradually, and then the whole room began to tremble regularly.

The next moment, a breeze came.

But in the blink of an eye, before Harry could think of the answer, the whole room became fresh, no longer stuffy, and there was no unpleasant smell of medicine. If you listen carefully, there seems to be a whistling sound of wind.

But when he looked around, trying to catch the source of the wind, he couldn't find it.
