Two Worlds: I studied at Hogwarts

When on the Scarlet Moon, Mimir had introduced Moone to these strange eight-legged creatures that lived in the sea.

He said that these creatures were actually very intelligent.

Moone remembered that he only interacted with the Black Lake once.

That was when he had just successfully crafted his wand and came to the Black Lake to test his 'Wand Awakening Spell'.

He hadn't expected that just that one experience would make this big guy remember him for so long.

It wasn't until Boing Boing relayed that the Giant Squid wasn't trying to cause trouble, but actually really liked that kind of magic, that Moone felt a little more relieved.

"What should I do?"

After the Giant Squid agreed, Moone looked at the two animals in front of him, feeling somewhat lost.

Facing such a large sparring partner for the first time, Moone really didn't know what to do.

"Chirp?"

After Boing Boing helped inquire, the Giant Squid had Moone cast the [Armor Charm] first.

Moone didn't know if the Giant Squid could see the range of his spell.

To prevent being accidentally injured during sparring, he walked towards the shore.

When the squid saw Moone finish casting the spell, it hesitated for a moment before immediately extending a huge arm and gently plucking at the surface of the Black Lake.

Splash!

A water arrow as thick as an adult's arm shot directly at Moone.

Pfft!

The [Armor Charm] seemed to not have formed any defensive ability at all.

Moone was also drenched.

Watching Boing Boing snicker beside him, Moone helplessly cast a [Drying Charm] on himself.

"Can you reduce the power of the water arrow a little more?"

Moone didn't know if the other party could understand, he just looked up and shouted.

As the Giant Squid prepared to do it again, Moone cast a [Waterproof Charm] on himself in advance,

and then the [Armor Charm] for defense.

Pitter!

After discovering that Moone could defend against it, the Giant Squid's other arms began to pluck at the water arrows one after another.

Its speed was even faster than Moone casting the [Leg-Locker Curse]!

After just one round, Moone's defense was broken again.

Fortunately, his clothes weren't wet this time.

After practicing more than a dozen times, Moone was already panting from exhaustion, but the Giant Squid hadn't had enough fun and was happily waiting for the next time.

Just as Moone was sitting on the shore resting, a rough voice suddenly came from the distance.

"Who's there? Who's there!"

"I've already warned you, don't get close to the Black Lake, it's dangerous to be dragged down!"

As Hagrid's voice rang out, the Giant Squid quickly sank into the Black Lake and disappeared.

"Hagrid, it's me ~"

Moone didn't let the person in the distance keep shouting.

Seeing the Giant Squid disappear completely, Moone knew that this big guy probably didn't want to see other people, so he turned around to meet him.

"Oh, Moone, I just saw that Giant Squid come ashore!"

Hagrid was surprised for a moment when he saw Moone, and then he kept pointing in the direction of the Black Lake, wanting to go over.

"Yes, that big guy was just helping me practice spells."

"Wh... What!"

Hagrid opened his mouth in surprise!

"It's helping me practice spells, what's wrong with that?"

"No... No, there's no problem, I'm just a little surprised that it would come out to help a young wizard!"

"Yes, I didn't expect it either."

Moone was actually no less surprised than Hagrid now.

But he could faintly feel that this Giant Squid didn't seem to have any bad intentions.

Seeing that Hagrid no longer planned to go to the Black Lake, Moone also asked his doubts.

"Hagrid, I feel that the Giant Squid is very friendly, it shouldn't drag young wizards into the water, right?"

"It's usually very friendly and doesn't like to move around much, but recently I don't know why it often likes to come to the surface of the water."

When Hagrid said this, he lowered his head and stared at Moone and Boing Boing, as if saying, 'So it's you guys.'

Noticing Hagrid's gaze, Moone smiled embarrassedly.

"I'll be more careful in the future, by the way, do you know when it came to the Black Lake?"

Hearing that Moone was going to come again in the future, Hagrid frowned.

Although he himself was from Gryffindor, the recklessness of the little lion made him feel helpless at times.

"I don't know the exact time it came, but the professors once talked about it, saying that this Giant Squid was caught by Godric, the head of the house at the time, not long after the school was built."

The head of Gryffindor at the time of Hogwarts' founding: Godric Gryffindor.

Moone had read the introduction of this celebrity in "Hogwarts: A History".

If the Giant Squid really came to the Black Lake at that time, then it would be at least nine hundred years old.

"This Giant Squid is so old!"

After Moone finished speaking, he looked at the huge shadow in the Black Lake, and he suddenly felt that this big guy might be very bored staying here.

"It should be, I think it should be the largest squid in the world."

"Then can it usually eat enough?"

After Moone stared at the lake for a while, he suddenly remembered how much the squid enjoyed eating sea snails, and couldn't help but ask with some doubt.

"It shouldn't be hungry, right? There are also merpeople in the Black Lake, they like to graze schools of fish, these should all go into the Giant Squid's stomach."

Merpeople are also a kind of gentle magical creature,

Last time Boing Boing said that he had made a group of strangely shaped friends in the Black Lake, Moone had suspected that it was them.

"Grazing schools of fish, that shouldn't be enough ~"

Thinking of the Giant Squid's reminder, Moone felt that he should bring more Flame Snails next time.

Even if it can't let the other party eat enough, it's not bad to give him a change of taste.

"I'm not too sure, I'm only responsible for guarding the Forbidden Forest, I pay very little attention to the things in the Black Lake."

Hearing Hagrid say this, Moone actually had a feeling of fortunately.

Hagrid is now the gamekeeper, and he has already stuffed an unknown number of things into it.

If he were to watch the Black Lake again, then this safe area where first-year students can only go to school by small boat would definitely become a dangerous magical forbidden area.

"By the way, now that you're here, go and see the magical oak I found!"

"Did you find it so quickly?"

Moone only made an appointment with Hagrid last week to repair his wand, but he didn't expect that in less than a week, Hagrid had found the magical wood.

"That's right, I originally wanted to buy one from Ollivander, but the other party said that there was one that was particularly suitable for me..:

Moone knew that Ollivander's craftsmanship and vision in making wands were very high.

If this master said it was very suitable for Hagrid, then it must be good.

As Moone and Hagrid headed to the Forbidden Forest hut, a kind smiling face appeared on the castle's Headmaster's tower.

Dumbledore had actually seen this little wizard when Moone arrived at the Black Lake.

He not only witnessed the communication between Boing Boing and the Giant Squid, but also watched the entire sparring session between Moone and the Giant Squid.

"Suggest enhancing the protective ability of the Devil's Snare."

"Needs to practice these ordinary spells."

"Can also gain the trust of the Black Lake guardian."

"It seems that the suspicion on Mr. Scarlett can be completely ruled out."

Moone, who had already left the Black Lake, didn't know.

He truly gained the trust of this headmaster only three months after entering Hogwarts.

When Moone arrived at Hagrid's hut, it was already very late.

Hagrid first hung a dim oil lamp on a pillar in the house, and then took out a paper package from the box.

Seeing the material of this package, Moon felt a little familiar.

Because it was exactly the same as the package he received when he bought a wand from Ollivander's wand shop.

"Because I've been busy recently, I wrote a letter to Ollivander, and I didn't expect him to ask Professor Ollivander to send this here."

As Hagrid spoke, he had already opened the package and took out a piece of wood about 20 inches long.

"This oak looks so familiar."

The moment Moon saw the wood, he felt like he had seen it somewhere before.

"Of course, Ollivander explained that since he learned that my wand was broken, he sealed this oak, and then you saw it."

Hagrid's face was full of smiles when he spoke.

Moon learned more information from this sentence.

There must be an inside story about Hagrid's wand being broken back then.

After Ollivander found out, he sealed the wood from the same tree as Hagrid's wand.

"If magical woods come from the same tree, using it to repair the wand will definitely be the closest to the original."

Moon said, carefully examining the wood in his hand.

Although this wood has been cut from the tree for a long time, it is very well maintained, and you can even smell the fragrance of aged wood on it.

"Ollivander's craftsmanship is really good."

Moon felt that the value of this wood should be high at a glance.

"Of course, his wands are very popular all over the world, and the wood maintenance must be first-class."

Moon had long known that Ollivander's wand shop had a great influence, and it was normal to be able to sell wands all over the world.

Of course, Moon felt that he might be able to open a shop selling other items in the future.

After all, he has an entire world behind him.

"Now that the wood is already available, I'll come to make it after watching the game on Saturday!"

"Oh, there's actually no need to rush so much. I also want to watch Harry's game, and the time of the Quidditch game is completely unpredictable."

As Hagrid spoke, he took the wood back from Moon and put it back in the box after repackaging it.

Regarding the end time of the Quidditch game, it is indeed completely unpredictable.

This kind of game has no time limit. The normal game is only over after the Seeker catches the Golden Snitch.

According to Hermione, who has read "Quidditch Through the Ages" no less than eight times, the longest Quidditch game time record is six months.

This was still because both sides of the game could not find the Golden Snitch and chose to give up.

Of course, the Hogwarts House Cup should not have such a long time record.

Because the main business of the little wizards is still learning, so the longest record of the House Cup is three days.

For Hagrid, he can wait for these few days. After all, it has been decades since the wand was broken, and it's only a few days.

"By the way, Hagrid, do you know Professor Dillon Ollivander?"

After hearing Hagrid just said that this professor brought him the package, Moon wanted to inquire about some alchemy matters.

"That professor, he is very... how should I put it, he studies those strange alchemy things every day, and rarely meets people. I was shocked when he suddenly came to deliver the package that day."

Through Hagrid's description, Moon deduced that this Professor Ollivander should be an alchemy fanatic.

"No wonder I rarely see him at school."

As the most difficult and least enrolled class in Hogwarts, the Alchemy course should not be very busy for the professor.

However, this professor has not been seen since Moon entered Hogwarts.

"Yes, Professor Ollivander often misses classes for students because of alchemy experiments. Anyway, Professor McGonagall has a headache about this matter. By the way, what are you asking him for?"

"Oh, I want to learn some alchemy things, but I don't know how to start."

"No way, Moon, you're only in the first grade!"

"I just want to understand it."

Seeing Hagrid also showing a surprised expression, Moon knew that no first-year student would specialize in this.

However, Moon would not give up just because no one was studying it.

He originally knew very little about the magic of another world, and now that he finally got an alchemy key, he naturally wanted to find a way to study it.

"Speaking of which, Hagrid, I saw that Dumbledore won the gold medal in alchemy in the seventh grade. I think he must have been exposed to alchemy very early."

"Dumbledore, he is the greatest wizard."

After being in contact with Hagrid for a period of time, Moon found that Hagrid's worship of Dumbledore had no reason.

Even if Moon felt that studying alchemy for only two years would not achieve such great achievements.

But Hagrid still believed that as long as it was Dumbledore, he would definitely be able to do it.

After checking the wand wood, it was already very late.

Hagrid knew that it might be unsafe on the road, so he led Fang to send Moon back to the castle.

"I know you haven't given up on alchemy, but I still want to remind you, if you want to find Professor Ollivander, don't say that you have successfully made a wand."

"Why? Does he mind this?"

Moon was a little surprised that the people of the Ollivander family would mind making wands.

"These should be secrets of their family. I don't know very well. Anyway, just remember my advice."

Regarding the research on alchemy, Moon has actually been exploring on his own.

He brought that obscure alchemy notebook with him when he came to Hogwarts this week.

After Moon has studied it for this period of time, he has been able to understand some of the content.

This key should have been built by a group of people, but Fao Holmes was responsible for recording the entire process. Moon has learned from the contents of the notebook that this group of people is the Unbelievers, and they have been building the key for a full ten years.

The entire key is composed of three parts. The main body material is a meteorite iron, which is very hard.

The teeth are inlaid with a kind of magma amber, which contains very strong fire magic energy.

The handle of the key is wrapped in a layer of golden snake skin, but Moon cannot temporarily detect its specific effect.

"Being able to use so many materials to create a small key, it seems that the magic cage that the Unbelievers want to solve should be very powerful."

Moon can only find some basic books on alchemy in the Hogwarts library.

Among them, "The Origin of Alchemy" divides the entire alchemy item into five parts: material, structural technology, rune, magic array, and magic effect.

Moon's current understanding of the alchemy key is only the material and the weak magic energy attached to it.

"There is still not enough research data. There should be a lot of related data in the Restricted Section, but which professor should I look for?"
