Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle

Garlic, onions, some rosemary and butter, then wrap the lamb chops in foil...

Ding--! !

"Mu En, someone is looking for you on Privet Drive." Lucifer reminded.

Mu En nodded, placed the lamb chops on the fireplace shelf, told Lucifer to pay attention to the fire, and then came to the door.

First, he glanced at Harry who was working outside. I don't know what this kid had in mind. He had a smile on his face and it looked like he was working as a pony.

boom!

Harry, on his side, looked blankly at the door that suddenly closed.

Eh? !

Of course, Mu En didn't care what he thought. He twisted the door handle, turned the exit to Privet Drive, and then opened the door.

A thin woman with a harsh face was standing outside the door holding the little fat man just now. There were scratches on the little fat man's face. His face was red and his eyes were full of tears. He had obviously cried a lot.

When Petunia saw the man opening the door, she was first attracted by that face, and then all the prepared words disappeared under those emotionless eyes.

"Hello, what's the matter?" Mu En asked.

Penny took a deep breath, and then said quickly: "I'm sorry, I noticed you brought a child to your home before. That's my nephew, and I have something to do with him."

Just now, after Dudley was chased home by cats and dogs for no apparent reason, she immediately felt keenly that this situation might be related to that thing.

It was that thing that she didn't want to mention, the thing that the whole family hated.

She only knew one person with that kind of power.

So with her own anger, she came to the door immediately, wanting to take Harry back and punish him.

Just the thought of her baby Dudley's handsome face being turned into this by that little bastard made her furious.

"Oh, so you are Harry's guardian. Nice to meet you." Moon nodded and said, although her words were very polite, she had no intention of shaking hands or inviting the two of them to sit down.

He continued: "I just wanted to go find you. I'm sorry to tell you that your nephew destroyed the plants I carefully cultivated. We should discuss compensation first."

"Wha...what?"

"Yes, I planted the flower there. Everyone in the neighborhood should have seen it. It is very valuable. It is a rare species from the African country of Tasker and it is also the national flower there. I transplanted it here. It cost at least Tens of thousands of pounds." Moon explained.

"So, I want to talk to you or the male owner of your family about compensation." Mu En looked at her condescendingly, with an undoubted magic in his words.

"The national flower of Tusker Country?" Penny repeated in disbelief.

"Yes, the export of this flower has been banned locally. This is perhaps a unique flower in the UK and will never be seen again.

The preliminary damage assessment should be around 10,000 pounds. If you don't believe it, we can take legal proceedings. "

"What? This is impossible! If our family has to pay for that bastard's mistake, it will still be tens of thousands of pounds!!" Penny suddenly yelled.

"Sir, we refuse to make corresponding compensation. To be honest, he just lives in our home, and we are not his parents!"

Mu En frowned, obviously dissatisfied with such hysterical behavior.

After a while, he said helplessly: "Okay, okay! Madam, let's find another way to compensate."

Penny looked directly at Mu En with her face flushed, waiting for his next words. At the same time, she acted like if she couldn't accept the conditions, she would immediately start screaming like a siren to express her dissatisfaction.

"You know, I just moved here. Maybe I need a handyman to do errands for me, how about paying for the work." Mu En said helplessly.

Through Mu En's broad shoulders, Penny could probably see the mess in the room.

"That...of course!" She thought for a moment, then nodded simply: "This guy is a good handyman. In terms of housework, he is definitely far better than ordinary people."

"At least for the next year or more." Mu En added lightly.

Penny hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Of course."

You know, in London in the 1990s, a handyman's monthly salary would never reach one thousand pounds.

"I think children need to bear their own mistakes for their own mistakes. This will become the most valuable lesson in their life." Penny quickly changed her face and expressed with relief.

"Okay." Mu En nodded calmly, and then said: "But what I need to add is that a little kid will not jump into my flower bed for no reason and crush my things. To be honest, if it weren't for a Kid, I've shot him."

This was London in the 1990s, and guns were not banned among the people. Residents have absolute control over their territory. Shooting an intruder is not a joke.

Mu En's eyes narrowed slightly and she looked at the little fat man Dudley: "Whether it's bullying or a joke. I hope some people understand that outside is not at home, and you still need to abide by some rules."

Dudley was still a little angry on the side, and at the same time a little proud because of Harry's suffering. At this time, Moon's eyes suddenly fell on him, and he felt as if he was being watched by a ferocious beast.

He quickly lowered his head, there was no smile left, it took all his courage not to tremble.

"Okay, that's it." After Mu En said that, he closed the door, leaving only the long words floating in the air.

"At night, your nephew will go back by himself."

After the door closed, Petunia also looked at her baby son. She thought Dudley lowered his head to express his sadness and dissatisfaction, so she hugged him and comforted him: "Oh, baby. Don't be angry, it's Harry's mistake. , you don’t need to bear it, he will be doing handyman work for a whole year.”

She actually had a vague idea of ​​what was going on. But he didn't want to criticize his precious son. He had already suffered too much today.

On the other hand, so what if it's bullying.

Was she going to scold her biological son for being a parasite?

Moon didn't care what the Dursleys were, he was more concerned about whether Lucifer overcooked the lamb chops.

"Tsk tsk tsk, 'He is a good handyman.' Through this sentence, I already know what kind of life that skinny boy leads in that house."

Lucifer stretched out his small hand and flipped the lamb chops on the iron rack. The sweet gravy flowed out from the gaps in the tinfoil and was caught with his mouth. At the same time, he sighed at what he had just heard.

Mu En was not surprised by Harry's encounter at the Dursleys' house. On the one hand, it was because of the vague memories from a long time ago, and on the other hand -

"You can tell by the way Harry is dressed."

With that said, Mu En opened the door to the wilderness again, and Harry stood outside the door. When he saw the door open, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said quickly: "Sir, I have transplanted the Moon Spirit Flower."

Mu En took a look and made sure there was nothing wrong, then nodded and let Harry in.

"Go to the cupboard and get two sets of cutlery." He still instructed unceremoniously.

"Okay." Harry nodded.

Strange, why don’t I resist at all?

The idea suddenly popped into his little head.

Mu En sat back on the exclusive red patent leather sofa and said, "Your aunt came to see me just now."

Harry's movements froze for a moment, and then he asked a little lowly: "What did she say?"

"I asked her to pay because you ruined the flowers I brought from the African country of Tusker, which are unique in England." A faint smile appeared on Mu En's face, as if she was very satisfied with her nonsense. satisfy.

Of course, his words were very "sincere", so he won Mrs. Dursley's trust, and the other party did not even think about taking legal proceedings.

"So..." Harry

God, Harry couldn't even think about what kind of punishment he would receive when he went back.

"Of course she doesn't want to." Mu En said.

"Yes...this...this is as it should be." Harry's voice was low and his interest was low.

"So I said, change the deal. And your aunt agreed." Moon said, looking at the dinner plate handed over by Harry's hands: "Do you want me to hold the dinner plate to eat? Put it on the table. "

"Really?" Harry's voice suddenly became lively again. He quickly put the dinner plate on the table, tidied away the debris, and moved chairs at the same time, working very proactively.

"So sir, what's the alternative you're talking about?" Harry asked impatiently.

"Work as a handyman for me for a year."

Moon stood up. He didn't care so much about Harry's reaction to this decision. If Harry didn't want to, he wouldn't mind letting him out as a wild child.

He reached out without hesitation and picked up the lamb chops from the flames. After placing them on the iron plate, he went to the restaurant and took out the fried eggs and bacon sausages that he had made before. On the side, there was a large green salad.

After dividing the food, he looked at Harry: "What are you standing for?"

Harry didn't react and pointed at himself: "Is this...is this mine?"

Mu En nodded and explained: "Although the castle is very big, I only live there alone."

Harry sat down quickly and looked at the sizzling grilled lamb chops on the dinner plate, with the warm fried eggs and grilled sausages on the side.

"Eat, don't worry about etiquette." Moon said, looking at Harry who was afraid to touch his knife and fork.

As soon as he finished speaking, Harry couldn't wait to pick up a piece of sausage and put it into his mouth.

"Wow...it's delicious...thank you..."

Harry had never tasted such delicious sausage. It was chewy, juicy, and had a meaty aroma that he had never tasted before. Much better than what he was eating before.

"This is definitely the most delicious thing I have ever eaten since I was born, I promise!" Harry said quickly, with a smile on his face.

"The flavored sausage stuffed with that thing is really good." Mu En also nodded approvingly.

When Harry heard this, he asked curiously: "What is this?"

"A kind of monster, you don't want to know too much about it." Moon explained casually, and then remembered that she hadn't introduced herself to Harry yet.

"My name is Moon Jones. You can call me sir or uncle." Moon said, cutting the mutton chops slowly.

"Eat more. Only when you are full can you have the strength to work. You have a heavy workload." Mu En said.

Yes, you can see it. Harry looked around at the mess while stuffing something into his mouth.

After more than ten minutes, Harry finally felt full. He held the mutton chops in his hands and his mouth was full of oil. He asked a little apologetically: "So Uncle Moon, is that flower really unique to Britain?"

"Of course not. I made up all the stuff about Africa's national flower."

Hearing this, Harry breathed a sigh of relief and felt less apologetic.

"The Moon Spirit Flower is unique in this world."

"ah?"

Mu En ignored him and asked instead: "It seems that you don't resist coming to my place to do odd jobs."

As soon as this topic came up, Harry lowered his head unconsciously and said in a much softer voice: "Yes."

"Do you hate them? Or what would you do if you were given powerful magic now?"

"Get out of there!"

Harry's quick answers and decisive words made even Moon unable to react.

"It seems you don't hate them." Mu En nodded.

Harry shook his head, nodded again, and was silent for a long time.

Mu En looked at him quietly and just said, "Remember to eat some vegetables."

Only then did Harry suddenly speak hesitantly:

"I don't know what to say... I hated Dudley when he bullied me at school in front of everyone, I hated Uncle Vernon when he locked me in the closet... Anyway, I have tons of people who hate them all time.

But overall, I don't hate them. After all, without them, I wouldn't even have food to eat, let alone go to school... I'm not their son, and they are not my parents..."

Harry's voice became softer and softer, and finally his eyes were filled with tears. He just lowered his head and stuffed things into his mouth, trying his best not to let out ridiculous whimpering.

Mu En leaned on the chair and said nothing.

He wasn't about to comfort a crying child. This is a mature and stubborn child who doesn't want others to see his weakness.

So Mu En felt that... she should respect his stubbornness.

I don't know how much time passed, Mu En only knew that after he reconstructed the advanced human body refining formation thirty-two times from the "Alchemy Notes of Democritus" scattered on the ground, Harry finally sorted himself out. The emotion raised his head.

There was nothing unusual except for the redness of the eyes and nose.

"Okay, let's start working, kid." Mu En stood up and stretched, "Your task today is to clean the entire living room."

"It doesn't look difficult." Harry stood up, full of energy. The living room that seemed to him to be messy had been accurately divided into several parts, and the relevant cleaning order had been customized.

Moon glanced at Harry, who was full of confidence, and raised the corners of his mouth: "I hope so. If you still have time after completing the task, I wouldn't mind taking you to play magic."

Hearing this, Harry became even more motivated. He quickly started to clear away the dishes, and then looked at the unfinished food.

"Throw them all into the fire." Mu En waved his hand.

Harry nodded, gathered up the leftovers, walked to the fireplace, and looked at the food again.

"It always feels like a waste..." Harry felt a little regretful.

Suddenly, the fire in the fireplace burst into flames, and a terrifying and ferocious face appeared in the flames, along with two completely mismatched slender hands.

"What is waste! Don't I even have to eat the leftovers?" Lucifer shouted angrily, and the whole castle made a whining sound of steam.

Harry was frightened and fell to the ground. He looked at Lucifer in horror, and then looked at Moon.

A strange smile appeared on Mu En's face, but she said in a regretful tone: "Oh, damn, I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce you. Although I live alone, there are still other living beings.

This is Lucifer, a demon and the guardian of this castle. If you don't know anything about work, you can ask him. "

Is that so...

Harry looked at Lucifer, waved his hands in fear, and said hello.

I shouted in my heart: This place is so interesting!
