Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle

Just as Chris was sharing the music he had listened to recently to Moon, a gentle knock on the glass appeared.

A gray barn owl was outside the window, tilting its head and holding a yellow letter in its mouth.

Martha got up from the sofa and went to the window, where they had become accustomed to the owl's presence.

"Is this year's shopping list coming so early?" Chris asked in a confused tone while adjusting the gramophone.

"Not yet." Mu En shook his head: "My teaching books haven't been decided yet, although I don't plan to change them."

"Maybe a friend of Hermione's."

As he said this, he also became quiet and listened to Chris's 1991 Michael Jackson's Dangerous.

"I don't understand why the media keeps smearing him," Chris muttered.

Mu En reviewed the time, then shook her head helplessly: "There will be more violent slanders, a bad scam that will shock the world, is coming soon."

"What do you mean?" Chris didn't quite understand, but Martha interrupted him.

"Jones, your letter is from Hogwarts." Martha said in surprise.

"No matter how many times, I am always amazed by the magic of Hogwarts' precision-guided owl delivery."

"Thank you." Mu En smiled back and took the letter.

The ink was not dark green, so it seemed that the letter was not sent by Minerva for school matters.

Then Mu En opened the letter.

"Mu En

There are already some clues about the second Horcrux.

Based on the temptation and risks of the Resurrection Stone I encountered last time, I would like to invite you to go with me.

Albus Dumbledore.

Ps. Maybe there will be rare objects and treasures like the Resurrection Stone. I think we have no disagreement about Riddle’s extraordinary sense of ritual. "

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Mu En shook his head. What does this last sentence mean? Are you deliberately adding chips?

What kind of person am I?

He balled up the letter and held it in his hands, then dissolved it.

"Chris, I have to leave first. There are some things at school." Moon said.

"Okay, a brief get-together." Chris shrugged: "You haven't said what will happen to Michael?"

"The child molestation case was a slanderous incident that had a profound impact on Michael. You also know the ethics of the media. They don't care about fairness or not, they just want to get the news that will get the most attention from the audience." Mu En briefly said something in his memory. things.

"The negative press will start to break out in September, but it seems that the initial prosecutions will be this month."

"Seriously?!" Chris looked at Mu En in surprise: "Did you see this with magic?"

Mu En nodded, then turned around and picked up his hat: "I'm leaving first."

"Okay, bye." Chris nodded absently.

Mu En didn't care what Chris was thinking. After walking out of Granger's house, she suddenly arrived at Hogwarts Castle in the Scottish Highlands.

On the eighth floor, in the principal's office, Dumbledore touched his fingers and looked thoughtful.

Then, footsteps sounded.

"You're here." Dumbledore said calmly, looking out the window.

If Mu En hadn't known that there wasn't a single martial arts novel in Hogwarts, he would have thought that this old boy had read too many Gu Long.

"I'm here." Mu En responded lightly.

"Gugu——"

"He didn't come." Mu En looked at Fox helplessly: "Young bird, I know it's wrong to say this, but the more heated it is, the more time it takes to calm down. Too much is not enough!"

"Gu-Gu Gu——"

"Trust me, I speak from experience." Mu En nodded seriously.

"Gu——"

Mu En nodded happily and then leaned on the sofa in the principal's office.

Yes, the sofa.

"It's great. It's finally not that hard wooden stool." Mu En smiled: "So this is Riddle's third Horcrux?"

"It should be a Horcrux." Dumbledore nodded: "I'm sure it has something to do with Riddle, and it just so happens that Riddle doesn't have many things to cherish."

"where?"

"The orphanage," Dumbledore said, "a place where he lived before coming to Hogwarts."

Then he stood up. At this time, Mu En's butt was not yet warm.

"Shall we leave now?"

Then, Dumbledore raised his hand, twisted another golden-red feather, and gently floated towards Moon.

The next moment, flames suddenly exploded from his body, like fireworks. The blazing flames appeared quickly, and then dissipated quickly as if the surrounding air had been drained.

The flames dissipated and the people disappeared without a trace.

The feather in Mu En's hand bloomed with warmth. He penetrated his senses into it, followed the veins, and quickly anchored the position.

The next moment, a space-distorting explosion appeared in this small office.

"Can't they be gentler?"

"It's so violent."

The portraits on the wall muttered helplessly.

…

A salty smell that he had not felt for a long time penetrated from the tip of his nose, followed by a rough sound in his ears.

The moment before his eyes regained vision, relying on these senses and past memories, Mu En's mind had already seen the white waves rolling in the tide and the seagulls constantly calling on the coastline.

Some icy sea breeze blew his thick mane, and looking to the side, Dumbledore was right here.

The two stood on a high black rock outcropping the sea, and the waves rolled and foamed beneath his feet. Mu En turned his head and looked back. Behind him stood a cliff. The steep rock wall fell straight down, and it was so dark that he couldn't see his face.

The huge black stone they were standing on now, as well as several large rocks around it, seemed to have fallen off the front of the cliff at some time in the past.

"Outside the coastline? The orphanage has been flooded?" Mu En combed her scarf in the direction of the wind.

"When the orphanage organization came here for an outing before, Riddle killed a friend and dumped his body here - from the cliff?"

Dumbledore was a little stunned when he heard that Fox flew up and landed on Moon's shoulder, gently pecked Moon's beard, and tugged outward.

"Okay, okay, I know he won't allow a juvenile delinquent to enter the school." Mu En patted Fox's little head lovingly and pulled out the beard from its beak.

Dumbledore smiled, then looked at the coast: "Halfway up the cliffs behind us, there is a place that can barely be called a village. I believe they brought the orphans there and let them breathe. Sea air, look at the waves.

And this cliff... I think only Tom Riddle and the kids he bullied had ever been to this place. "

"This is not a place for children to set foot in." Mu En rubbed the rocks under her feet. It was so slippery that the boat obviously couldn't get in.

Unless you are a rock climbing expert, or——

"But if it's Riddle, it's much more normal." Moon stood up and patted the dust on his hands: "Let's go directly. Where is it near here?"

Dumbledore walked to the edge of the rock. There were many jagged grooves in the rock that could be stepped on, leading to the giant pebbles below that were half exposed to the sea around the cliff.

Then, he took the first step.

Behind him, there was a creepy sharp feeling, and when he turned around suddenly, he saw Mu En looking at him as if he were looking at a fool.

Then Mu En moved forward and took a gentle step.

Snapped--

Leather shoes step on the air.

Dumbledore smiled helplessly, and finally he sighed, raised his hand and waved.

Fox nodded and teleported away.

The next moment, Dumbledore's whole body turned into a ball of silver, speeding downwards.

But in the blink of an eye, he plunged into the waves.

Mu En was a little dumbfounded, he just wanted to express... don't be so procrastinating, as if you are doing some amazing adventure.

Why did the old man's eyes just seem to say...you forced me to do this!

Then, he held down the hat with the brim flying, jumped up, and flew towards the waves.

In the water, on the edge of the cliff.

The silver objects scattered around Dumbledore danced with the undercurrent in the water, while he stood alone, waiting for Moon's arrival.

In front of him was a narrow crack.

Clearly, the destination lies within.

Mu En raised his head to estimate the depth of the water and felt deeply how fast the glacier was melting.

"I thought this was a magic exclusive to Voldemort and his henchmen." Mu En said, her voice completely unaffected by the water.

"Mine is white, and his is black." Dumbledore responded: "People from the Order of the Phoenix know it, such as Sirius, James and others..."

Then, he took the lead and swam towards the crack.

The rock crevice is a bit narrow, barely enough for people to swim. Once here, the light is very dim.

Dumbledore pointed his fingertips forward, and a silver light came out like a flying elf.

In terms of the expressiveness of magic spells, it can best reflect a person's temperament.

Calling Dumbledore an old boy, Moon didn't think there was any problem at all.

Then he saw small balls of light flying, opening the way for them in front.

Going a little further in, the secret passage turned to the left, and Mu En saw that it stretched all the way to the deepest part of the cliff. At the same time, the two of them swam forward quickly.

Mu En stretched out a hand, and a wave of ripples like a sea current struck forward, and then quickly rebounded, creating a model of the grotto in his mind.

Soon, a step appeared in front of them. The two quickly climbed up the step. Water flowed down from their soaked clothes, and then a thick white mist rose.

Dumbledore was already standing in the center of the cave, with his wand raised high in his hand. He was slowly turning in circles, carefully examining the rock walls and cave ceiling.

Mu En was also combing his hair and observing the surroundings.

"Have you been here?" Mu En asked.

"Stop here." Dumbledore said: "After I determined that there was a problem here, I informed you as soon as possible."

"I hope there are really surprises here." Mu En said, and then came to a rock wall deep in the cliff.

"If he hadn't opened another small space, the door would be right here."

Dumbledore walked over and patted the rock wall with his hands. The little fluorescent elves surrounding him continued to follow his line of sight, illuminating for him details of possible passes.

Seeing this, Mu En also lightly tapped the rock wall.

Boom——Boom——

Rubbles fell from the top of the cave, and a dazzling white outline appeared from around the rock wall, and then quickly disappeared.

Dumbledore staggered and kept rubbing the base of his ears: "If it disturbs some agencies, that would not be a good result."

Looking at the two fist-shaped pits on the rock wall, Mu En also nodded: "I agree with your statement."

At least trying to punch it away is a waste of energy.

Later, Moon and Dumbledore observed the rock wall together.

After a moment, the two of them looked at each other ridiculously.

"You think the same thing as I do?" Mu En asked first.

"I don't really hope this is the correct answer." Dumbledore looked a little complicated.

Then, the Elder Wand gradually flattened, and the front end turned into the shape of a knife.

After the two people observed just now, the way the door is opened.

The next moment, the blade penetrated the flesh, blood splashed everywhere, and the surface of the rock was suddenly covered with bright red blood drops.

The dazzling white arch outline appeared on the rock wall again, but this time, it did not disappear.

Then, boundless darkness appeared in front of the two of them, and Dumbledore's tiny fluorescent light could no longer shine into it.

"I disappoint you." Mu En smiled and stepped into it first. His eyes had already adaptively expanded, filling the entire pupil.

"It's really low-level." Dumbledore's tone was indeed disappointing, and that was from the perspective of a division commander. At the same time, there was also a hint of contempt, which came from the perspective of him being an opponent and a powerful wizard.

Obviously, this access control did not meet Dumbledore's requirements.

"Now, I believe you came to me as soon as you realized something was wrong here." Mu En smiled: "Otherwise, there is really no need for you to show this 'ugly' method."

"His idea is to weaken the opponent before he can enter it, but the bloodshed method is okay, let's skip this topic." Dumbledore said, and also walked through the doorway.

What appeared before them was a very strange sight.

At this time, in the cliff grotto in the sea, there is a lake!

The two of them were standing on the shore of a large black lake. The lake was extremely wide and endless, and Mu En could not even see the other shore in the distance.

The cave they were in was so high that even when they looked up, they couldn't see the top of the cave. In the distance, as if in the center of the lake, there was a hazy, green light, reflected in the dead water below.

The surroundings are completely filled with darkness that cannot be broken away, and the penetration of these bright lights is not that strong. The darkness here seems to be denser and thicker than ordinary.

"A spell in a dark environment? I can analyze it. Hermione should like it very much." Mu En thought about it, and the light capture of the cat's eye has reached its limit here.

Then he snapped his fingers, and a ball of light appeared, helping him observe his surroundings.

The next moment, his body became stiff.

Dumbledore noticed Moon's expression and suddenly became confused: "Did you find anything?"

"Dead man." Mu En spoke, staring intently into the lake, losing the frivolity just now.

It's just that there is a bit of sullenness in the calmness.

"Tattered cloth, many traces of sewing, swollen body..." Mu En spoke little by little, and her cold words echoed in this huge cave.

Finally, he gave the answer.

"The living corpses transformed by the villagers have piled up into a mountain!"
