Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle.

On Sunday, at noon, Harry put the manuscript into his pocket and walked out of the lounge with Draco.

"If it were me, I would definitely choose something related to dragons." Draco said, spreading a hand.

"Dragon is the most precious and powerful creature. I'm even surprised why you don't want to choose a dragon. It's obvious that Ollivander uses dragons as wands."

Draco felt from the bottom of his heart that if there was an opportunity to make his own wand, he would definitely add it full of dragon elements.

And what Harry is doing now is a waste of money.

"I just feel that my compatibility with dragons is not that consistent." Harry said seriously and helplessly: "You know, I have a contract with Norbert. I can feel that the relationship between me and Norbert is pure. It was constructed based on animal training methods, time spent together, and magical contracts. It lacked something essential.

This feeling is even more obvious when I use Parseltongue to control snakes. There seems to be a connection deep in the soul between me and the snakes, and I can use this to make them understand my words. "

"Really?" Draco heard this statement for the first time: "Then if I imitate your speaking voice."

He was quite interested in Harry's skill, after all, it was deeply related to Slytherin.

"No. Professor Dumbledore can also speak snakes, but he can't control snakes." Harry explained. "The difference between being born with Parseltongue and being born with it is still very big. Just like the Metamorphmagus and some appearance-changing magic."

"Okay." Draco shook his head to drive the thought out of his mind.

Harry continued to think about the wand core.

He asked Hagrid to learn a lot about magical animals, and finally found a second wand core that might be compatible with him.

It was a Thestral that might die in the near future due to old age.

This cherished and unruly Pegasus is hairless and unlike a unicorn, it can often produce a large amount of high-quality materials to make standard wands.

But there is no doubt that the magic contained in Thestral materials is extremely powerful, and their brain nerves, heart strings, etc. will all be excellent materials for wands.

If he doesn't seize the opportunity this time, he may never be able to find such good magical animal materials in the future.

Thestrals, although people in the world tend to put a lot of negative filters on them, because this creature has an inexplicable relationship with death.

But Harry kind of liked these guys.

"Only those who have witnessed death can see the Thestrals." This sentence is not very accurate.

Not to mention whether witnessing the death of other creatures counts, but only the death of the same kind.

Harry was well aware that he had witnessed death not long after his birth.

But when he first came to Hogwarts, he still couldn't see these guys until Quirrell died.

This gave him a little more understanding of the concept of meeting Thestrals.

Perhaps, only by truly witnessing a life of the same kind disappear before one's eyes can one see this kind of creature.

This seems to imply some very emotional thinking.

So Harry felt that the Thestral was a very gentle creature.

"Harry? Harry?" Draco bumped into him. "Isn't that McCully?"

When Harry came back to his senses, he saw MacCherry walking out of Professor Snape's office with a slightly excited look on his face.

At the same time, the other party also saw the two of them and walked straight over.

"Harry, Draco." He took the lead in greeting the two of them.

"Mike, why are you here? What happened?" Harry asked.

"Nothing, just - look at this!"

As he said that, McCeery showed the badge in his hand.

"Captain? Have you become captain?" Draco exclaimed, and then he felt it was reasonable. Now that Marcus is leaving, this position should naturally be taken by someone else.

etc.

A brilliant idea came to his mind. There is no better way to enter the team than by building a relationship with Mike at this time!

But in the next second, Draco gave up the idea and felt bored.

"Tsk!" He sneered.

Mike looked at him doubtfully.

"Oh, no, I'm not laughing at you. I'm despising the stupid idea that came into my head just now." Draco explained.

"I believe you." Mike smiled nonchalantly: "Are you going up to have lunch? Let's go together. By the way, Harry - we have to quickly arrange the training plan for the future. Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff It’s still waiting for us to conquer.”

Several Hufflepuff students on the same road heard this and heheheed twice without concealing it.

Mike pursed his lips and shrugged helplessly, not caring.

"Also, I'd like to have a private match with the Gryffindor team.

Although the academy points are gone, I still want to fight for a real victory.

Not for anything else, just for the training we have had, it deserves a serious competition, what do you think? "

"Well, of course." Harry had to agree. After all, the purpose of the previous training was to show off his talents in the real competition. Even if he was almost too busy to bloom, he had to nod in affirmation.

"Draco, are you coming?" Mike asked Draco tentatively.

"Now we send someone."

"Oh, I'd better participate next year." Draco shook his head: "I want to concentrate on preparing for the duel competition."

"Okay." Mike nodded: "Speaking of the duel competition, we really need to prepare carefully. I don't know how the professor plans to arrange the schedule. Will we meet and go together."

Just as they were talking, the three of them walked up the stairs and arrived outside the auditorium on the first floor.

As soon as they got closer, they noticed something was wrong.

It was so noisy and boiling, it was like a potion was boiling.

Even the corner leading to the auditorium was completely blocked.

"what happened?"

"Don't squeeze, let me see!"

McCully looked at the Hufflepuff student he had just met.

"Friend, what happened?"

"It seems that the official announcement of the duel competition has come out."

After saying that, this person also squeezed in: "Give me a moment. After you finish reading, go back. Why are you crowding here?"

McCully was about to squeeze in, but was stopped by Harry.

"Mike, forget it, don't be in a hurry. The news will come out in a while."

"That's right." McClery straightened his robes, seeming to say: 'We are Slytherins, so we have to pay attention to our image. '

The three of them walked towards the auditorium where the crowd was loose, planning to have lunch first.

At this moment, someone suddenly turned around and saw Harry.

"Harry's here!"

"Found him!"

The next moment, many eyes fell on Harry, and the focus of the crowd's discussion also shifted.

"What's wrong?" Harry looked at them, confused.
