Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle.

Chapter 350 The Mermaid's Song

"You seem to enjoy provoking him?" Hermione looked at Draco and asked, "That's not very popular, is it?"

"I don't need to be liked by men, right?" Draco asked first.

Then he explained leisurely: "I was just teasing my old rival. I was urging him to improve, right? He has wanted to kill me for a long time."

"Okay." Hermione shook her head helplessly and didn't argue with Draco.

Apart from Harry, Hermione had never seen anyone gain any advantage from Draco's words.

"How long have we been in this lesson?" Harry asked.

"An hour? Maybe." Hermione said, pulling out a sleek watch from her pocket.

"It's almost twelve o'clock. Time flies."

"Should we go up there first?" Harry suggested, "If there's nothing up there, we can go down there. There are two common rooms and a potions classroom, and there's a greenhouse outside."

"Then we need to go to the Transfiguration classroom first," Hermione suggested.

The Transfiguration classroom and Professor McGonagall's office are both on the second floor.

The fourth floor is the Charms classroom. If Professor Flitwick is not there, then he will be in his office on the eighth floor.

Similarly, the Ravenclaw common room and the Gryffindor common room are also upstairs, belonging to two different towers.

"Let's go." Draco nodded, not in a hurry, and turned to look at Harry: "How about this card?"

Harry handed the cards to Draco.

[Moon]: Use cards to obtain a secret knowledge corresponding to the current problem and the user's current needs.

"Oh." This was the first time Draco got the card. He looked around and quickly realized that this might be the card that could be used in the next project.

He handed the cards back to Harry, already mentally reviewing the tarot cards in the Slytherin common room.

He felt that would be the best fit for him.

Afterwards, the three of them came to Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration classroom, but did not see the professor.

Walking quickly along the corridor, they heard a wailing sound before they got close to Professor McGonagall's office.

"No, Professor - I was wrong, Professor, it was George who spoke just now, you got the wrong person."

The next moment, a calico cat was kicked out of the office.

Harry and the other two looked towards the classroom and saw a witch in a dark green robe. The difference was that she had a tabby cat's head and a tall and thin body. She seemed to be two meters tall, but her body was as wide as a child's skeleton.

It looks very scary.

And on her desk, a dark green scale made of festering flesh was shaking from side to side.

"If you are not satisfied with the answer, get out," said Professor McGonagall.

The next moment, George's body turned into a cat and was thrown out.

"Trial! It's a trial!" George said with tears in his eyes as he came out and saw the three people: "She asked us to deal with the dispute. If she is not satisfied, she will throw us out."

"Card number 20, Judgment." Hermione said quickly.

"We know, we know." Fred interrupted Hermione.

The two of them standing together, one with black on the left and white on the right, and the other with white on the left and black on the right, look extremely funny.

"Is this your punishment?" Harry asked puzzledly.

"I think so." Fred nodded. "I feel that this Transfiguration will take about an hour to disappear. Of course, there may be a corresponding antidote in the school."

Harry tried the Stopping Spell, but it didn't work.

The punishment for this kind of rule concept is indeed difficult to understand. Harry already got the clue from Angelina's previous experience, and now it can be regarded as confirmed once again.

However, the Judgment card is suitable for Professor McGonagall.

"But everything has its pros and cons." George said optimistically.

"It's like we were caught and put in solitary confinement, then stole something and ran out."

"Just like in the infirmary, getting the potion." Fred followed closely.

Then, the two cats stared at each other and nodded at the same time.

"We plan to explore more of the castle during this hour, such as other professors' offices or the library."

“Maybe there’ll be a surprise.”

Harry nodded, also marveling at Fred and George's ability to adapt.

"Can we go in now?" Hermione asked.

"Maybe. Not." Fred said, "After we went in, two more people came and were kicked out."

“Maybe we have to wait until all the people in this group are eliminated before we can start the next round,” said George.

"Okay then." Hermione nodded: "Then let's go look somewhere else."

"Then go ahead." Fred waved his paw: "We'll wait for Angelina here."

After saying goodbye to Fred and George, Harry and the other two walked upstairs and soon arrived in front of the gargoyles on the third floor.

No, not gargoyles anymore.

However, he had become much more twisted now, his body was bloated, and his sharp eyes emitted a faint green light.

"Password." He said coldly.

Harry and the other two looked at each other and fell into thought for a moment.

"Professor Dumbledore is used to using sweets as passwords," Harry explained to the other two.

"But this world must be different, right?" Draco raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm bitter candy?" Hermione tried, looking at the stone beast: "Bitter melon candy!"

"What kind of stupid thing is that?" the stone beast sneered.

Draco thought for a moment and said, "Corpse oil cake?"

Hermione's heart skipped a beat just by hearing this strange and terrifying word.

However, the stone beast showed a mysterious smile.

"That was the last password. Hmm. You're smart."

"Can we go over then?"

"No!" The stone beast suddenly changed its expression: "Use your brains, you guys are stupid--"

The next moment, Harry waved his finger.

"The house collapsed and the ground collapsed——"

With a loud bang, the smoke and dust dissipated, revealing several cracks on the stone beast's body.

Draco's eyes lit up, and he remembered the scene where Fred and George kicked open the door with the sealing spell just now.

Then he raised his wand: "Villavitor—"

The hem of his robe transformed into two giant snakes and attacked the stone beast.

"Let me show you my understanding!" Draco laughed: "The flames are blazing - everything explodes -"

The next moment, the two giant snakes transformed by the transformation spell suddenly burst into flames and bit the stone beast fiercely.

boom--

Once again, the explosion occurred with searing heat.

Looking closely, there was no change on the stone beast.

"."

Draco took a deep breath, and then his expression gradually turned gritted.

Harry said sincerely, "Don't be discouraged. The fire spell is really not very useful against a stone statue."

"Well, it's great." Hermione also echoed.

Draco looked embarrassed. After a moment, he nodded involuntarily: "I just haven't understood it yet. And I can't make the house collapse."

"Yes, that's right," Harry and Hermione said in unison.

"." Draco's eyes wandered over the two of them for a long time, and then he couldn't help but say, "Come on."

Harry nodded.

He just wanted to try and see whether the inexplicable feeling of "progress" that arose after he escaped from the illusion just now was just an illusion.

Then, the spells that he had already memorized appeared quickly one by one.

The entire corridor seemed to be shaking continuously, like a small earthquake.

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!" the stone beast wailed.

"Then open the door." Draco shouted, his hands folded across his chest.

"No, you have to say the correct command!" said the stone beast with tears in his eyes.

"Then, tell us the password," said Harry as he cast the spell.

"It's the principal's name, the principal's name!!" the stone beast said hurriedly.

"Huh?" Harry stopped in surprise: "That's it?"

The stone beast's body was now covered with cracks, and one could even see the spiral staircase hidden behind it through it.

"What else?" the stone beast roared, "Could it be something strange?"

Hermione said the answer in her mind a little embarrassedly: "Perhaps it is to ensure that the champions of Hogwarts and other schools are relatively fair."

Harry nodded in agreement.

Draco took the lead, walked up to the stone beast, and kicked it angrily.

"Ha, then why didn't you just say it earlier?"

"You didn't even give me a chance to speak." The stone beast's already twisted and hideous face became even more funny.

"How dare you talk back." Draco raised his wand.

"If I don't beat you up, will you tell me the password yourself?"

The stone beast was stunned for a moment. This... was indeed the truth.

"No, it wasn't you who beat me, it was him who beat me." The stone beast said honestly: "His spell hurts! Yours doesn't hurt——"

Draco's expression changed: "Did I ask you that?"

"No, no."

Draco then said seriously: "So in the final analysis, are you wrong?"

"It's my fault, I'm sorry," the stone beast said tremblingly.

"It's okay. Give me some tips from above and I'll forgive you." Draco waved his hand and acted very generous. "Also, how many people have gone up now?"

“I only know that there are two levels of tests here. One is when you go upstairs, which is this spiral staircase.

As for the rest, I don’t know what happened after I went up there.” The stone beast said:

"There are four of them in total. Three have already failed, and one is going upstairs. He's a red-haired guy who looks about the same age as you guys."

The look in the eyes of "Red Hair" Draco gradually became teasing: "Looks like we have to go up and take a look."

Harry nodded silently, and couldn't help but admire the exquisiteness of Draco's mouth.

"Dumbledore," said Harry, and the stone beasts made way for them.

At this moment, a strange melodious voice came from outside the corridor.

What followed was the howling of wolves one after another.

"what happened?"

The three of them came to the huge empty window and completely ignored the stone beast, leaving it waiting.

As they watched, the rain began to subside.

No, to be precise, it was because of the mysterious and melodious sound that the rain gradually stopped.

The clouds quickly dissipated, as if a weather spell had been cast.

A huge moon, emitting a bright glow, appeared on the horizon.

Harry and the others also focused their attention on the Forbidden Forest. The howling of werewolves was too frequent.

"Why are they like crazy?" Draco was a little confused.

"The full moon cannot change!" Hermione said quickly, "The changes of werewolves on a full moon day have always been a problem that mysticism has not figured out.

However, as long as it is a full moon day, no matter what the weather is like, the werewolf will definitely transform! "

"What does that have to do with now?" Draco still didn't understand: "According to what you said, they had already transformed last night, so why are they still transforming now..."

"That's right." Hermione nodded: "The full moon is a catalyst for werewolves."

"Oh, then someone is going to be in trouble." Draco laughed.

"Yes, Neville is in the Forbidden Forest now." Harry couldn't help but whisper.

The next moment, they saw an explosion suddenly occur in the Forbidden Forest. Then, like a chain reaction, one explosion after another, or flames that appeared for no reason, or various colors of light representing different spells, all began to flash in the Forbidden Forest.

For a moment, the fire burst into the sky!

“The big one is coming”

Suddenly, there was a sound of rushing water, like a thousand-mile waterfall.

Just like the Durmstrang ship they had seen before, a huge whirlpool appeared in the Black Lake this time, and the next moment, a giant squid suddenly rose high above the lake.

He stretched out four tentacles, and on top of each tentacle was a black dot.

"Are those four warriors?" Hermione was a little uncertain. It was too dark, and even the black dots could only be vaguely distinguished by the moonlight.

"That's right." Harry nodded.

Then, a man stood up tremblingly on the tentacles of the giant squid. From a distance, it seemed that he had pointed the magic wand at his throat.

The melodious and sad song echoed throughout the school and the forbidden forest.

The moonlight became brighter.

“Ouch!!”
