Harry Potter and the Burnt Badger

He suspected that the bastard werewolf and the group of giant wolves around him were back again.

Hagrid reported this matter to Professor Dumbledore a few days ago when he and Professor Snape were injured. Professor Dumbledore also allowed him to act freely. He must take good care of the Forbidden Forest. You can ask the school for help when needed.

The area that Lu Wei can protect is only so large. If there is a heavy rain tonight, that bastard werewolf and his giant wolf accidentally rush through Lu Wei's defense line and run into the scope of Hogwarts. By then, the trouble index will undoubtedly skyrocket.If any casualties were caused, then he would be really to blame.

Under the wash of heavy rain, no traces or smells could last, and Hagrid couldn't tell anything based on the traces he could see on the road - because he couldn't see anything.Because of this, the closer he got to Lu Wei's location, the more anxious he became.But what was even more troublesome was that just after running almost three-quarters of the distance, Lu Wei's barking suddenly stopped.

This is not a good sign. On the contrary, it is a completely bad sign.

Hagrid put aside his cautious thoughts and ran over quickly until he finally saw Lu Wei's tall figure standing in the rain, looking around as if he was looking for something.

There were a lot of messy footprints on the ground, but they were of no identifying value at all. Lu Wei's big feet destroyed almost everything that could be destroyed. In addition, the manic rainstorm and the barely visible light were also huge disadvantages.In desperation, Hagrid had no choice but to put his hope in Lu Wei. "Hey! Lu Wei! You big guy! What on earth did you see?"

Lu Wei lowered his head, and two of the three heads focused on Hagrid. Only one head was still looking in the other direction. It, or rather, they barked twice in a low voice, and then turned towards the third head. He raised his nose in the direction of his head.

"Where did that thing go?" Hagrid got the answer and hurriedly chased it there.

He didn't notice that there were a few bunches of bloody wolf fur on the ground behind Lu Wei. There was no way, no one else would have noticed such a detail on such a night.

Following the direction directed by Lu Wei, Hagrid ran for a distance and indeed began to find some faint footprints of giant wolves in some places where there was obviously a lot of mud. But after chasing a little further there, those footprints began to appear. It becomes blurred and invisible, and quite messy, spreading in all directions, completely losing the meaning and value of tracking.

Hagrid sighed heavily and reluctantly chose to return.

Now that the matter has come to this, if you continue to pursue it blindly, you are just asking for trouble, and there will obviously be no results.

He found Lu Wei and patted the big guy on the head again - all three heads had to be patted, and no favoritism was allowed. After promising a delicious meal tomorrow, he walked out of the Forbidden Forest.

Chapter 76 Questions and Answers in the History of Magic Classroom

In the History of Magic class on Tuesday, the little wizards of Hufflepuff were preparing to do their own things as usual - those who should fall asleep fell asleep, and those who were thinking about playing chess took out the simple wizard chess (the little wizards were playing chess). The portable wizard chess that I came up with under Moon's prompts is actually a chessboard and chess pieces cut out of paper. It's just that there are two small magics on it to make the chessboard and chess pieces less likely to be torn.) You need to read extracurricular books. I also took out my own extracurricular books... Anyway, not many people planned to listen to the lectures well.

Professor Binns completely turned a blind eye to this. He couldn't control it, didn't want to, and didn't want to.This ghost professor has only one fundamental purpose that cannot be disobeyed, which is not to disturb his class. The rest...

Saying "whatever" may seem a bit too loose, but Professor Binns does have a similar attitude.

However, a few minutes later, the little wizards sitting in the History of Magic classroom all put down what they were doing and looked at Professor Binns with interest.

Everyone didn't like Professor Binns when he was giving lectures, not at all. He spoke slowly and breathlessly, and sometimes he even had to break a sentence into three parts.However, this does not mean that everyone does not like Professor Binns when telling stories.

Of course, Professor Binns never told a story, not once.Even today's story was not told by him on his own initiative, but by Moon who asked the question first.

But you still have to make everyone look forward to it.

"Professor, when I was browsing some books in the library these days, I found some content related to Hogwarts. It mentioned that there is a strange room in Hogwarts: it is never in front of people under normal circumstances. But when you meet it, if you desire it, it will change into what you need most at the time and be open to you." After getting permission from Professor Binns to speak, Moon raised his own question "I'm a little curious. Do you know anything about this room? Does this room really exist?"

Professor Binns glanced at Moon and waited quietly for almost a minute without speaking.

Everyone wondered whether Professor Binns didn't want to answer this question, or simply didn't know the answer.Only Professor Binns himself knew whether he was hesitating to answer the question or continue the lecture step by step.

After hesitating for a while, he cleared his throat and said in a drawl: "Well, about this...well, the room, indeed, Hogwarts does...there is such a room, a, um, a magical room. "

He still spoke in the same old and familiar way, with a long, drawn-out voice and heavy breathing.But the little wizards looked at Professor Binns with interest - they were all attracted by Moon's words.

Professor Binns was quite dissatisfied with this. He was not happy that there were so many people waiting attentively for him to speak in the classroom where no one was listening in the past.In his opinion, all enthusiasm is meaningless if these little guys are not so motivated for the knowledge in the classroom.

But now that he had spoken, Professor Binns had no reason to swallow his words back. Therefore, even though he was slightly dissatisfied with the attitude of the little wizards, Professor Binns continued: "Although this room... looks like Hogg Like all of Watts' other curious legends, they only attract attention. But it does exist... and its name is, the Room of Requirement."

"Most of the records about the Room of Requirement are just a few fragments... introducing a little bit here, a little bit there, trying to find... well, it is very difficult to find a document that officially and accurately records everything about the real Room of Requirement. …Very difficult. It’s part of the magical fabric of Hogwarts Castle.”

"So, that's all I can tell you. I don't know much more." Professor Binns finished everything as fluently as possible (actually it was still very verbose), then opened the textbook and said calmly: "Okay... take out your textbooks, we are going to continue the lecture."

"Sorry, Professor." Before Professor Binns could start teaching, Moon quickly asked another question.He didn't dare to interrupt Professor Binns after he started teaching, otherwise he would not doubt Professor Binns at all but would scold him. "After listening to your statement, I am even more curious. You said that the Room of Requirement belongs to It is part of the magic of Hogwarts Castle. If this is the case, why does Hogwarts not have detailed records about this part of magic? I mean, I have looked for it in the library several times and asked in detail. Mrs. Pince, but Mrs. Pince told me with certainty that there is no such book list or information available for review in the library."

Professor Binns frowned, "Mr. Fox, not everything will leave detailed historical records. This is exactly why we need to take the history of magic class. We need to pass on the recorded history from generation to generation. As for you I can answer your questions accurately because they are lost."

It was rare for him to speak a paragraph crisply, logically and completely, even with less long sounds: "From the establishment of Hogwarts to the present... well, a long, long time has passed. During this period, here I have also encountered storms and lost information... I think it is a very normal thing. Now, if you still have questions to ask, I suggest you wait until after class to ask them instead of taking up other students' class time."

Yaerlin, who was sitting in front of Moon, muttered in a low voice, "We would rather be occupied with class time... This stuff is much more interesting than what is written in the textbook."

Moon raised his leg and kicked Yalin's stool, then nodded apologetically at Professor Binns, "Okay, Professor, I'm very sorry. I was presumptuous. You can start teaching."

Professor Binns nodded with satisfaction. Frankly speaking, he had always liked Moon. After all, he was the one with the best grades in the history of magic in the class. Otherwise, if another student asked such a question, he would not be too lazy to answer such a question. Lots of content.

You know, Professor Binns does not have all the memories of his lifetime, and because he is a ghost, he has no way to retrieve his lost memories through reading, let alone acquire new knowledge.Therefore, if he wanted to answer questions that were beyond the scope of teaching, he would always have to spend a while searching for answers that may or may not exist in his memory, and then answer them.

Now, after answering the questions, he can finally return to the teaching aspect that he is best at.

Chapter 77 The Magic of the Castle

The reason why he asked this question was not because of Moon's whim or whim.

But it suddenly occurred to him that in fact, all the professors at Hogwarts may have entered the Room of Requirement. Almost every professor here has been at Hogwarts since they were students. After graduation, they may have gone through their own experience for a period of time. life, but eventually returned to teach at Hogwarts - and the vast majority of them stayed here for a long time.

Well, maybe some of them will have more, a deeper, and more interesting understanding of the Room of Requirement.

If Moon could learn more about the Room of Requirement, maybe he could figure out how to get into Quirrell's book-filled room.What's more, this doesn't delay him from reading books on black magic every night. A two-pronged approach might be more effective.

He also talked to Professor Sprout after the first class this morning, but Professor Sprout said that she had only heard of the Room of Requirement, but had never been in it.In her words, even if she did find the Room of Requirement, it probably wouldn't be able to help her much, because what she thinks about most every day is how to make those few restless Hufflepuff badgers Be able to be more obedient.

"Maybe that room will only give me a wall of torture instruments, shackles and so on." Professor Sprout couldn't help laughing when he finished saying this, and he also stuffed two pieces into the room. He gave Moon a large lollipop produced by Honeydukes and patted Moon's head.

After the History of Magic class, Moon quickly stopped Professor Binns, approached him and asked, "Professor, I'm sorry, can I ask you any other questions about the Room of Requirement?"

Professor Binns was right about this. Since it was not class time, he was still willing to answer some questions for Moon - he didn't need to eat anyway.

The famous ghost professor didn't know it yet, but he had inadvertently made a hell joke that would become very popular in the future. Unfortunately, the target of the joke was himself.

"You just mentioned that the Room of Requirement is part of the magical fabric of Hogwarts Castle. Can you please elaborate on it? I'm very curious about this."

Professor Binns tilted his head slightly and looked at Moon, and fell into thinking for a long time. He was probably imagining language, or he was recalling memories that he had almost forgotten.After a long time, he finally said: "About this... I don't think there is anything worth being curious about."

"...Uh" Just when Moon didn't know how to answer, Professor Binns continued: "Well... I understand, you are curious about what the so-called magic of Hogwarts Castle is... um... made of. Composed? That is to say...what are the constituent parts?"

"That's right, Professor." Moon breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"Well, I can't tell you the answer to this question accurately." Professor Binns' calm tone sounded like "Good morning."

After receiving such an answer, Moon was inevitably a little disappointed, but he still bowed politely as always. When he was about to leave, Professor Binns gasped and said: "But I can tell you what I know."

"..."

Why do I end up procrastinating and out of breath even more when answering after-school questions than when I am in class?

Without thinking about all this, Moon was overjoyed and quickly looked at Professor Binns. Professor Binns also slowly began to talk, "Hogwarts Castle is full of magic. I think...well...you must be You know. From the very beginning of the school, the four founders of Hogwarts...ah, yes, they put a lot of - a lot of protective spells on Hogwarts Castle, and made some changes to the castle itself. Many, many magical transformations, leaving many magical rooms, facilities and secret rooms."

"From this, many... I think... it should be said that it is false rumors and... um... gossips, such as Slytherin's chamber of secrets, the secret death row hidden in the unknown... Ha, If you ask me, this kind of nonsense... is just a daydream. It can only be used to deceive simple-minded people... and who don't think for themselves. It is far inferior to those that have been passed down and are true. The history is believable, but... hum... people are always more interested in these unrealistic things."

"In addition to rumors, there are also some rooms that have been verified to exist and are filled with magic, such as... the Room of Requirement that you are curious about."

Professor Binns paused, "I can't tell you very clearly, because my own memory... is... incomplete. However, you can understand Hogwarts as a whole... as a huge... A magical creation, its foundation is not bricks and mortar, but magic power; its components are not rooms or flights of stairs, but the magic contained in these rooms and stairs."

"That's why I say the Room of Requirement is part of the magical fabric of Hogwarts Castle, but that's all I can tell you."

Moon nodded thoughtfully, and then thanked Professor Binns very gratefully, "Thank you very much for your generous answer, Professor, it is very helpful to me."

Professor Binns also looked at Moon. He paused for a few seconds, and then said: "It is a good thing to be curious about knowledge, Moon Fox, but... I think... you should pay more attention... to some practical matters. things, rather than these things that look...interesting but actually have no meaning."

"I will remember it, Professor, so I won't disturb you anymore." Moon bowed, and when Professor Binns nodded, he turned around and left the History of Magic classroom.

Cedric and the others were still waiting outside. In fact, Cedric wanted to wait inside at first, but Arlin still looked sleepy, and Gal was yawning profusely.Cedric really couldn't shamelessly drag these two people to stand in front of Professor Binns, so he had to lead them out.

"So, Moon - Huh" Gar yawned again, then rubbed his eyes and asked Moon: "Why are you suddenly so interested in this or something Room of Requirement?"

"Aren't the things I'm interested in inherently diverse?" Moon said, dumbfounded, "What's so strange about this?"

Arlin nodded in agreement, "Indeed, but this Room of Requirement does sound interesting. Can anything really be changed there?"

Before Moon could answer, Gal said from the side: "If I really find such a room, I wonder if it can conjure up a delicious meal for me."

"How do you know how to eat?" Yaerlin gave him a look of disdain, and as expected, the two started to quarrel again.

"What's the matter, you don't want to eat?"

"I eat, but you only think about eating. This is different."

"Oh, I thought you didn't want to eat."

"Gal Fuller!"

"Haha! Hit me, you idiot!"

"Don't run away!!!"

Chapter 78 Pretty senior sister falls in love at first sight

If anyone else at Hogwarts, besides Professor Dumbledore, could answer Moon's question about the magical makeup of Hogwarts, then the first choices must be Professors McGonagall and Professor Flitwick.

Of course, it is definitely a better choice to ask Professor Dumbledore, but the old man has not been at Hogwarts recently. He has not received a reply to the letter he sent to Professor Dumbledore yesterday.

The good news is that there is a Transfiguration class in the afternoon, and Moon can take this opportunity to ask Professor McGonagall questions.

The bad news is that Professor McGonagall is not teaching today's class.

Moon looked at the young and beautiful Gryffindor senior sister on the podium and couldn't help but sigh.

Although the senior is nice, he needs Gryffindor's cat dean even more now.

They are currently learning how to turn beetles into buttons. They have also written a paper. Everyone has basically mastered the essentials of casting spells. It is normal for Professor McGonagall to ask assistants to come to class.Moon held the wand and looked at the small jar with beetles in front of him. He was bored and turned several beetles into beautiful buttons of different shapes and colors. By the way, he pointed out the stunned Yaerlin who was already watching beside him.

"Hey, you are Moon Fox." The Gryffindor senior sister who had already asked everyone to practice freely stood behind Moon at some point and said with interest: "I saw it in the auditorium before. Your speech - well, no, I should say it was a debate, it was very exciting."

"Uh, thank you..." Moon recalled the name of this Gryffindor senior in his mind. This was not the first time that she had come to help Professor McGonagall teach "Flores?"

"Uh-huh, Sonia Floris." Sonia generously extended her hand towards Moon, "Are we officially acquainted?"

Moon shook hands with Sonia in a strange way. He always felt that this kind of social handshake was a bit strange, as if the two of them were not in class, but in some serious and formal conference room.

What made him feel even more strange was that when the two people held their hands, Sonia gently rubbed his palm.

...?

Is something wrong?

Sonia winked at him lightly, then turned back to the podium. Before leaving, she left a letter with a lipstick mark on it for Munn - she didn't even secretly push the letter to Munn. Under the book, it was just placed on his desk.If Arlin hadn't been poking at the beetles with his wand, he would have been rushing to read the letter.

Moon did not dare to hesitate, immediately put the letter into the book, and then locked up the book.

Ok……

The painting style is a bit weird. This should still be Hogwarts. I shouldn’t have traveled back in time when I went to bed last night...

What expansion is this?Campus youth romantic comedy?A spy blockbuster with a mysterious heroine?

He looked at the star buttons on the table that he had turned into dark blue. He paused for a while and then raised his head to look at Sonia. But Sonia was already sitting behind the podium, not knowing what to write or draw.

The letter sandwiched in the Transfiguration textbook seemed to have grown claws, scratching at Munn's heart again and again, making Munn want to open the letter and read it.But he had to hold back, otherwise if Arlin saw it, all Hufflepuff would know about it within one night.

Moon, who was completely confused, scratched his head in confusion, waved his wand and turned the star button on the table back into a beetle - only the color was still a beautiful dark blue.

…………

After finally getting through to the end of get out of class, Moon glanced at Sonia, who was looking at him with a smile on the podium. He didn't dare to look at her any longer, let alone stay any longer. He hurriedly dragged his roommates out of the Transfiguration classroom.

"Sigh... When will I be able to be like Munn, and I can turn the beetle into anything I want?" Yaerlin pouted and said with envy: "That way I can Don’t worry about failing the Transfiguration test.”

"Don't think about it, you should first learn how to make your beetle stay still." Gal poked Yaerlin's scar mercilessly - last class Yalin tried to turn the beetle into a Buttons, the beetle's body turned into the shape of a button, but the lower legs remained intact, and because it had no eyes it could only run around wildly on the table. Gal almost choked with laughter at that time.

Everyone chatted and laughed and went straight to the auditorium. When they reached the door of the auditorium, Moon, who was thinking about it, said hello to his roommates, saying that he had something to do, and asked them to help bring a meal back to the dormitory. , then said goodbye to the three of them and slipped back to the Hufflepuff common room.

He really couldn't help but want to see what was written in that letter. After all, it was no ordinary letter. It still had lipstick marks on it. Anyone would be curious about it.

After returning to the common room, Moon rushed into the dormitory, closed the door, and took out the letter.

Cutting open the place sealed with lacquer, he opened the envelope, and the letter he pulled out had a little bit of a special fragrance - he didn't smell the perfume when Sonia Floris came close to her in the Transfiguration class just now.

In other words, the scent on this letter was not dyed on it after Sonia Floris sprayed perfume on it.

Moon blinked and unfolded the folded letter uneasily.

There were only two sentences written on the letter paper.

The first line is: "Hey, Moon Fox, I'm Sonya, Sonya Floris."

The second sentence is: "Will you be my dance partner? If so, we will meet outside the greenhouse tomorrow afternoon?"

Moon's hand shook slightly and he swallowed.

ha?Dance partner?What dance partner?Why didn't he know there was a dance at Hogwarts soon?

Moreover, he and this teaching assistant have hardly spoken on weekdays. Sonia only came to help as a teaching assistant this year. Although she has done it a few times, it only lasts for two months and three to five classes in total. .In other words, to put it bluntly, he and Sonia had only met each other a few times.

That's it.
