Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle

Lucius nodded and stroked the silver-carved snake head on the end of the wand.

After hearing the news, his expression softened a lot, and the child's hard work cleared away the gloom that hung in his heart to a certain extent.

Narcissa turned to care about her husband: "My dear, you look very tired. Did something happen to the Ministry of Magic again?"

Scrimgeour didn't know what was going on, but he thought it was a curse cast by several wizarding families on the senior deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic.

He led the Aurors to inspect the major families every day, and they often argued with each other in some large and small meetings.

The Malfoy family never entered the Ministry of Magic, but their family's tradition of infiltrating it began in 1692.

In the same year that the Wizarding Secrecy Act was promulgated and the Ministry of Magic was established, the Malfoys cut off their ties with the Muggle upper class and turned their attention to the wizarding world.

Lucius smoothed his long blond hair and rubbed his forehead.

"It's nothing serious. It's just that some of the items that were moved to other places in order to cope with the search were lost."

"What was lost? Is it important?" Narcissa was a little worried.

Their family has a great business, and although they have been suspected of resting on their laurels for nearly a century, they should not be worried about a few magic items, unless - it is very important!

"No, it's nothing. It's just an item that the Lord...the Dark Lord gave me before. And I still don't know what its use is." After Lucius finished speaking, he shook his head and didn't want to talk about it anymore.

"I'm going to see Draco!"

As he spoke, he stood up, the back end of the civilization stick stood up automatically, the wand was inserted, and crisp footsteps echoed in the empty living room.

The Malfoy family's study is not small, and has the prototype of a small library, but most of the books in it are old. In the past century, they have rarely added books to their home.

In fact, he rarely enters the study room.

If it hadn't been for the house elves to clean it, there would have been a lot of cobwebs and a lot of dust here.

On the candlestick with precise carvings, the flame of the candle is fixed by the magic passport, and the light is amplified without appearing dim.

At this time, Draco had the second-year Hogwarts spells study book in front of him.

The sound of footsteps quickly interrupted his thoughts. He looked up and saw a tall figure walking into the study.

"Father!"

Draco stood up and greeted politely.

Lucius nodded slightly and sat across from Draco: "Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet, how was your school last year?"

"You've been very busy recently. I heard it's from the Ministry of Magic..."

"No, you don't need to pay too much attention. I will take care of these things." Lucius interrupted him, with a arrogant look on his tired face.

"How was school life last year?" He changed the topic back on track.

"...It's okay, it's a normal life." Draco said.

"How is your relationship with Harry Potter?" Lucius asked: "I heard that he is a bit special in Slytherin. Not long after school started, Snape's office was filled with complaint letters."

"Is there such a thing?" Draco was a little surprised, but he had never known about it.

"Yeah." Lucius nodded.

After receiving the confirmation, Draco quickly suppressed the surprise in his heart. He looked at his father's face and thought of the conflict last year. He still said: "We have a normal relationship."

"General?" Unexpectedly, Lucius's tone suddenly became a little darker.

"I think it is inevitable to have a good relationship with a person who is number one in age. Maybe you don't know yet, but in your college, there are already many senior family members who are beginning to show favor to him.

And you and he are classmates in the same grade, but you only have a normal relationship with him? "

"You're still not sharp enough, Draco." As he spoke, Lucius' expression softened and he sighed: "If you can, establish a good relationship with him. This will help you in the future."

Draco looked panicked and explained carefully: "I... I just wanted to make friends, not... help in the future or anything like that."

"Don't be stupid!" Lucius interrupted.

The entire study fell silent.

Looking at his son, who had failed to get any grades in Hogwarts for one year, he sighed in his heart, and in the end he could only say helplessly: "At the very least, don't antagonize him."

Draco clasped his hands under the table and nodded: "I understand, Father."

Lucius breathed a long sigh of relief, and then his eyes fell on the book in front of him, feeling much better.

Pretty hard.

Originally, he wanted to come and see what Draco was doing, and ask about the Quidditch team as a reward. But after the discussion just now, the air here is obviously a bit cold at this time...

He stood up and said, "Go ahead and do your best. Remember, don't study too late. Take a rest when you need it."

After that, he turned and left.

The study door closed, Draco took a deep breath and held his forehead weakly.

He did have a good relationship with Potter, but he knew that what he wanted and what his father wanted were completely different things.

"Master." A wary and majestic voice suddenly appeared beside him.

"Where did you come from?!" Draco looked at the sudden appearance of Dobby with disgust.

I saw black tea and snacks floating next to Dobby.

"The master asked me to bring this to you." Dobby quickly lowered his head and said. The black tea snacks floated to the table.

"I know." Draco waved his hand angrily.

"Right." Dobby said again.

"The master said, don't study too late, go to the Diagon Alley Quidditch store tomorrow and pick out the latest and best broom for you.

He also said that if you want to join the Quidditch team, he can contact Mr. Snape to sponsor the school team. "

"No need." Draco responded coldly. What his father said just now was no different.

He shook his head: "I don't need any support, I will participate in the team selection myself."

"I will convey it to you." Dobby bowed slightly and backed away, then disappeared.

With a bang, Draco's hands clenched into fists and hit the table, his voice was low, and his face turned red.

"Am I inherently weaker than others?!"

"Do I have to think about following people's influence?! Do I have to think about relying on connections?!"

Draco's eyes were fixed on the opened book.

"No, I should never be like this!"

…

…

The owl flew across the sky and landed on Privet Drive.

Fast forward to August, and the work of removing Nagini's curse is still in progress.

The Blood Curse Orc is, after all, a curse, not a powerful alienated spell. No matter how powerful this snake body looks, from the perspective of Moon and Dumbledore, it can only be called surprisingly weak.

You must be careful and take one step at a time.

She couldn't withstand the knife from the soul level.

It is estimated that it will take next year to completely remove this curse.

Aberforth has taken her away, and they will continue to treat her in Hogsmeade in the future.

The old man wanted to show her the longing and regret Aurelius left for her in the room above the bar.

Dumbledore went to the Ministry of Magic before, but unfortunately, he was "powerless" to deal with Umbridge's curse.

At most, it helped her get rid of the curse of speech, allowing her to speak normally, restoring the sanity of many human beings, and no longer being able to only croak.

At the same time, those memories about Mu En were also taken away.

All I can say is that Dumbledore gave her a chance to speak. As for whether she can use that toad mouth to find true love... I wish her success.

The rooms in Moonlight Castle have been transferred back. Now the living room looks like before again.

"Uncle Moon, the letters from Hogwarts are here." Harry picked up the letters and said, there is another one from the Ministry of Magic!

"Is it for me?" Moon took the letter from Harry and glanced at the sender - Rufus Scrimgeour.

Scrimgeour is not an old man like Borgin. He is an Auror and a politician at the same time.

So these days, he would always send letters frequently, briefing Mu En on the recent progress of the investigation into those wizarding families.

At the same time, he secretly wanted to find out some information.

After reading it, Mu En threw the letter into the fireplace. As usual, he had no intention of replying.

After stretching, Mu En came to the door, twisted the handle, and the pointer diagonally above the door turned.

When you open the door again, you're already in Hogsmeade.

When he came to the castle, he walked straight into the office on the third floor.

Sindel's portrait greeted him.

"Long time no see." Mu En responded with a smile: "How do you feel, from this angle."

"I like it very much, thank you." Sindel smiled: "This angle is great, the sky and the earth are clearly visible."

Her picture frame is now facing the largest window in the office, which allows her to see the spring, summer, autumn and winter outside, the sun rising and the moon setting through the window.

"That's good." Mu En nodded and came to the spotlessly clean fireplace: "Maybe there will be a friend here."

"Who is it?" Sindel was very surprised.

Mu En moved the firewood shelf, exposed the soot groove under the fireplace, and took out the silver chalk.

"Well, it's hard to describe, but what I can say is that he is not a human being." Mu En said.

Having entered Hogwarts' deep magical logic loop through the Book of Access, he did not gain nothing. At least, I have a better understanding of some of the magic circuits in Hogwarts.

Then he connected with the magic logic of the Floo Network and planned to draw Lucifer here.

Just like Lucifer said before, Mu En also felt that this was indeed the case. It was indeed a bit boring to leave him alone in the castle.

If he was also in the castle, maybe Fox could still be a guest from time to time, right?

Thinking about it, he began to carve the spell circuit below. After a while, a strange star rune appeared like before, and then circled around it, completing the rune circuit.

About ten minutes later, Mu En put down the silver chalk and clapped her hands. Then press your palm on the rune.

Soon, twisted starlight bloomed from the runes, and the entire ground had a flowing visual effect due to the distortion of the air.

Then—a pop.

A small flame appeared from the center of the star rune.

"Successful!!" Lucifer looked happy, but then he quickly panicked: "Chaihuo, where's the firewood!!"

Mu En waved his hand: "You go back first, and then come back after I carve the runes."

Lucifer finally reacted, looked down, and clicked his tongue disdainfully.

"I will take action myself!"

As he said that, he suddenly disappeared and fled back. However, a moment later, he emerged again, with a long fiery red feather wrapped in his flame body.

? ?

The next moment, he fiercely activated his power, the flames flowed rapidly along the runes, and wisps of golden spiritual essence were quickly separated from the feathers.

crackling——

Low-pitched explosions continued one after another, and when I looked at the star runes on the ground, I saw that they had been burned out with marks full of cracks.

After a while, Lucifer finished activating the flames and looked at Mu En proudly.

"How about it?"

…

Mu En's face was silent. He could tell that the feather wrapped in Lucifer's body was not an ordinary feather, but a very precious feather that came from the phoenix.

"You...you are so awesome." Mu En praised.

"It's good to know." Lucifer raised a smile, and then quickly urged: "Firewood! Firewood! Don't waste the energy in my feathers!"

Mu En nodded, and then quickly teleported back to Moonlight Castle.

Sindel looked at Lucifer with a dull expression, then smiled and said, "Did the fire speak?"

"Did the painting talk?" Lucifer seemed to have seen a ghost. He had never been out of Moonlight Castle and had no idea that paintings could talk.

"How should I call you? Mr. Fire? Or should I call you Mr. Red?" Sindel asked with a curious smile.

Lucifer looked at her and shook his head: "Forget it, just call me Lucifer. This is Mu En's office, right."

Sindel nodded: "Yes, this is Mr. Cat's office."

Mr. Cat…

Lucifer pursed his lips, as if he had eaten a large piece of bitter melon, and looked speechless.

What a weird name...

After a while, Mu En returned to the castle again, with many pine firewood floating behind him.

Put the firewood away and set up a firewood stand for Lucifer. He began to tidy up the office.

I don't know whether I should call it lucky or unfortunate, but because of Nagini's incident, Dumbledore asked Professor McGonagall not to arrange for him the task of fetching the little wizards.

Time passed by in a hurry, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.

Soon, it was time for school to start.

Harry still didn't choose to go directly to Hogwarts via Moonlight Castle, which was weird.

Chris's car stopped at Privet Drive, and Hermione jumped out of the car to help Harry lift Hedwig's cage.

Across from them, Dudley stood outside, waving to Harry. It is inconvenient for him to shout loudly, as his mother at home will hear him, and then he will have fun.

Dudley wasn't worried that his mother would be angry with him, she wouldn't.

But Dudley knew that as long as he appeared to be close to Harry, his mother would go crazy, wondering if Harry had cast a spell on her.

Then there may be drastic moves that disrupt the delicate, hard-won balance.

Oh, Dudley wouldn't have thought of that.

Harry told him.

Mu En held the half-sugar energy potion and raised it slightly towards Chris as a greeting.

Then he turned around and suddenly saw...

Harry had just gotten into the car when Moon's voice suddenly sounded.

"You brat, you left something behind." Mu En said looking over here, a little far away, but the voice reached Harry's ears very clearly.

"What?" He quickly checked himself, got out of the car again, and walked towards No. 13 Privet Drive.

"Uncle Moon, what did I miss?" Harry looked confused.

"Your colleague." Mu En said, leaning on the door frame.

Meteor hung his head and walked out with very small steps, seeming very disappointed.

"No...but this..." Harry hesitated, a little too happy to speak.

"Is it really possible?" He looked at Mu En with surprise.

"Now that Lucifer is no longer here, do you want him to be alone...not just a broomstick in the castle?"
