Superman at Hogwarts

Hogwarts' Little Superman - Chapter 016 [Society of Silent Hope (Part 1)]

Saturday ended with Kerry accompanying Hermione to study magic books. Kerry did not return to the dormitory until curfew time. After closing the door, Kerry took out a pendant from a bed leg in the corner.

That's right... This is Kerry's pet, the ghost cat.

Kerry was thinking about the false accusation during the day. Kerry was a gentleman who took revenge from morning to night. How could he wait for Professor McGonagall to give a definite answer?

Except for Hermione, no one knew that Kerry had a ghost cat, so Kerry kept his pet in the dormitory as a watchdog - well - a watch cat.

Throughout the summer vacation, Kerry tried to communicate with the ghost cat. Kerry gave the black cat a nice name: [Sheriff Detective], which is [Black Cat Detective] when put together.

After a long communication with Kerry, Kerry basically understood Mr. Black Cat's abilities and related things...

The Sheriff was a female cat, or she was a female cat when she was alive. She had powerful magic when she was alive, but Kerry didn't know how she got it.

But after her death, the magic basically dissipated. Now the black cat can still cast two or three spells, such as fluorescent flashes. In addition, in addition to magic, Ms. Cat also has a normal sense of smell, which is even stronger than when she was alive, because the ghost state actually uses the whole body to contact the air, which can more accurately judge some smells.

In general, Ms. Sheriff is still a little smarter than a normal cat, but not much smarter. Kerry thinks that Ms. Sheriff's IQ is probably equivalent to that of a golden retriever and a black back - simple commands can be understood, but it can't understand every word you say - in addition, she is a cat from Egypt, and later she was sold and resold countless times, and traveled all over the European continent.

Later, she was brought to the UK and has lived here for at least 50 or 60 years. Kerry always thought that the sheriff was a ragdoll cat, but in fact, she just looked like a ragdoll cat. The ragdoll cat appeared much earlier than the sheriff.

Kerry always wanted to know the specific life span of the sheriff, but unfortunately, the cat lady could never understand the number beyond two digits.

"Madam Sheriff, I have something to ask you." Kerry stroked the cat lady - ghosts can be touched, but there are two prerequisites. First, it is willing to be touched by you and actively accepts your touch; second, it can only be touched by wizards and other magical beings - Muggles can never touch ghosts.

"Meow~！"Ms. Cat just calls, OK

"Did you see anyone else come here yesterday when I was not in the dormitory?" Kerry asked

""Meow." A very short sound, indicating:"A very certain tone"

"Do you remember what he looks like? Kerry continued to ask

"Meow……"A slightly longer sound means:"Not so sure, but still equivalent to - yes!"

"Is that a young person? I mean a minor?"Kerry continued to ask Black Cat Sheriff questions.

"Meow!"The sheriff is sure

"Is he taller than me?"

""Meow." He was taller than Kerry, and much taller.

Kerry was now five feet five inches tall, so the minor taller than him must be a senior wizard.

Kerry talked to the cat lady one sentence at a time, and finally Kerry described an image like this: [A male wizard about sixteen or seventeen years old, thin and tall, from Gryffindor, without glasses, wearing a pair of leather shoes, curly hair, came to Kerry's dormitory at around nine o'clock on Friday morning, and only did one thing, opening the closet and putting down the cloth bag. The whole process only stayed in Kerry's dormitory for more than forty seconds.……】

After Kerry recovered, he found that the planner was indeed targeting him. Although the scope was determined, Ms. Black Cat could not provide enough information for Kerry to find the accuser.

Kerry sat down, took out a notebook, and wrote on the second page: [I must find the accuser and give him a good lesson!】

=================

On Sunday morning, Kerry was still looking for the reason why he couldn't release magic, but an owl came to Kerry.

"Please come to the office on the third floor!" There was a note in the owl's claws.

Kerry thought for a moment and realized that this should be Professor McGonagall's note!

Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration classroom was over there, and the handwriting looked like Professor McGonagall's.

Leaving the library and going to the office on the third floor, it was indeed Professor McGonagall's room.

"Professor McGonagall! Hello!"Kerry pushed the door open and said

"Hello, little guy! Professor McGonagall said kindly,"Would you like something to drink? Of course, I definitely don't have any alcohol here."

"Can I have some Chinese tea? Do you have any?"

"Of course! Here……"Professor McGonagall took out a small bag, but the words on the bag were actually in Japanese. It seemed that Professor McGonagall really bought it from a foreigner.

The two did not say anything useful. After a conversation, Professor McGonagall changed the subject and suddenly asked,"Do you know what an Obscurus is?"

""Obscurus?" Kerry repeated the word - Obscurus, the original meaning of this word is"darkness", or something similar. But in the magical world, Obscurus has a specific meaning - they refer to a kind of wizard, to be precise, some wizards with a bad reputation.

In the previous life, many people liked to say that Obscurus was formed in a very special environment, with trauma related to the use of magic, and hated their own magic in their hearts.���Consciously try to suppress it.

When a wizarding child is forced to suppress their magic due to physical or psychological abuse, they develop extreme emotional distress, creating a dark parasitic magical force called the Obscurus. When they reach an emotional and mental breaking point, the Obscurus may lose control of their body and release themselves (the Obscurus) as an invisible (or nearly invisible) and extremely destructive wind. In extreme cases, their body may directly transform into the Obscurus.

In other words - Obscurus children or wizards are actually mentally ill and have reached the"late stage" and finally developed a pathological spell and magic.

Overall, it's a poor bunch...
