Harry Potter and the Burnt Badger

There is only one thing left that bothers Moon now - where is Uncle Edgar?

He had met Uncle Edgar once before in Hogsmeade, at the end of October. At that time, Uncle Edgar seemed to be normal, and he even had the heart to come over and say hello to him during the mission.In addition, he was disguised at the time. Taking the two together, Uncle Edgar was most likely trying to find out some information, or was waiting for someone. He might be the target, or he might be the contact person.Otherwise, if he were to perform tasks such as tracking and surveillance, Uncle Edgar would never come over to say hello to him.

Moon glanced at the Marauder's Map again and had some clues in his mind.

The next thing he had to do was wait for the Aurors to arrive.

…………

At about eight o'clock in the evening, several people in the school newspaper office finally finished what they were doing. Everyone was laughing and packing their things, and when they were about to leave, the door of the school newspaper office was gently pushed open.

"Huh? Is there anyone coming here now?" Nash looked at the door in confusion, only to find that the people standing outside were not other friends from the school newspaper office, but several unknown adult wizards.

"You are……?"

Before Nash could finish his question, the tall middle-aged man standing at the front of the row said, "Auror Office, Ken O'Gorman, we have something to ask Moon Fox."

Moon stood up and said to the others: "You should go first, they have something they need me to cooperate with in the investigation."

Nash and the three left the school newspaper office in confusion. Before leaving, they did not forget to stare at the three Aurors again. Hesper and Quaid followed closely and left slightly nervously.

After a few people left, the Auror named Ken O'Gorman walked in with two other Aurors, and then asked with a chuckle: "The two children who left just last are your brothers. Sister, I remember their names are... Hesper Shafiq and Quaid Shafiq?"

"Yeah." Munn responded, and then pointed to the seats scattered around the room. "You can find a place to sit by yourselves. I won't entertain you. If my guess is right, I should ask for it in the next few nights." Sleep here?"

"You are indeed very smart." O'Gorman nodded and said: "Don't be nervous, as long as you cooperate with us well and don't make some small moves, we will leave soon. To be honest, Edgar and I have a very good relationship, and Many of us believe that Edgar is innocent. As his relative, you should have the same confidence as we do, instead of being clever and doing meaningless things to make the people above have more negative feelings about Edgar. Suspicious."

Moon stared into O'Gorman's eyes. It wasn't until O'Gorman frowned in discomfort that Moon smiled softly, lowered his head and glanced at the newspaper in his hand that had not yet been laid out. "What you said is very good." It makes sense, I can cooperate with you, or I can sleep here temporarily until you leave. However, I have two small requests."

"You tell me." O'Gorman remained patient and gestured generously: "As long as you stay within our sight, we have no problem with you even if you want to play Quidditch."

"First, I have to carry out the school newspaper work normally. Second, either tonight or tomorrow, I have to go back to the dormitory to pick up some things, including my textbooks and the tools I need to use in class." Mu Enshen Holding up two fingers, "Don't worry, I prefer to sit in the common room and read a book than go out to play, so you don't have to worry about any unreasonable demands I will make."

"It's no problem to pick up the things." O'Gorman nodded and agreed to Moon's second request, "This is the school newspaper..."

"You have been watching the whole process, and you can be the first to read it after it is printed. If there is anything in it about me secretly contacting Uncle Edgar, you can throw me directly into Azkaban."

Several Aurors laughed, and one of the young men said directly: "Don't be stupid, we won't send you to Azkaban for such a trivial matter."

"That's the best thing. I'm moved by what you said." Moon shrugged, joked, and then said, "Is that the decision?"

"No problem." O'Gorman agreed, "I agree to all your requests."

"Then you can do what you want, I'm going to continue working." Moon sat back on the chair, no longer caring about the Aurors, and started reviewing and revising the manuscript.Several Aurors went to the side and whispered for a while, and they didn't know what they discussed. In short, one of them left the school newspaper office after a while, and the remaining two found a place to sit down by themselves and began to look at it. This is a room converted from a classroom.

Chapter 68 Obscure Notice

On the following Saturdays and Sundays, the atmosphere in the school newspaper office was always strange, and almost everyone became quite restrained - no wonder, after all, three such big Aurors were standing in front of the school newspaper. It's hard to be unrestrained when people are staring at her in the office.

In fact, originally, the few people such as Terrence, Garforth and Lee Jordan who respected the work of Aurors were quite novel. Especially Garforth and Lee, they had been looking forward to finding an opportunity to chat with those Aurors. A few words.But when they learned from Arlin that these Aurors were actually here to investigate Moon, almost immediately, everyone treated the Aurors coldly: ignoring them, not answering, and treating them as if they didn't exist.

Although it has no practical significance, this is the best way they can think of to support Munn.And such childish behavior made several Aurors quite dumbfounded.Fortunately, they were just here to keep an eye on Moon. If they really needed to find out something from Moon, judging from the cooperation of the teachers and students at Hogwarts, they might not be able to find anything.

On Saturday, Moon retrieved the things he needed for class from his dormitory, including textbooks, a lot of things like cauldrons, as well as his crystal ball and brazier.The whole process was under the surveillance of the Aurors, and Moon didn't even make a small move. At least in the eyes of the Aurors, Moon was already cooperative enough to be unable to cooperate anymore.

This also made them feel relieved. They had to know that before they came here, the people above had told them that there was a high probability that Munn would not cooperate obediently. As a result, they did not dare to slack off in the slightest since they came here. They were always there. Keep an eye on Moon.

But now it seems that things are going much smoother than they thought.

"Moon, these illustrations are for you." Violet walked to the table and put all the illustrations she had prepared in Munn's hand. "Is there anything else you need my help to prepare?"

Moon did not answer immediately, but picked up the illustrations and looked through them one by one.

"The drawing is pretty good...but I think there are still some small problems. For example, with this illustration of the Golden Snitch, can you find a way to make the wings of the Golden Snitch move more flexibly? The flying one still looks a bit...stiff." Moon pulled out the illustration of the Golden Snitch and completely ignored the Auror who walked up behind him alertly. Violet, on the other hand, glanced at the man nervously.

"In addition, I want you to add another illustration. See if the time is enough. If not, forget it." After handing the Golden Snitch illustration back to Violet, Munn found another one. Manuscript: "That's it. You can focus on the middle part to find inspiration."

After speaking, Moon used a quill to tick each of the four paragraphs in the manuscript, and then handed the manuscript to Violet.

Violet took the manuscript and looked at it twice, then bit her lip hesitantly and looked at Moon. "I'll take a look at it first. After all, it will take some time to complete the illustrations of the Golden Snitch."

"Of course." Moon smiled and nodded, "So I said, you can read it yourself. If you don't have enough time, forget it. This manuscript doesn't have to be published."

Violet was stunned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, I understand. I'll tell you after reading the manuscript."

"Oh!"

A muffled sound attracted the attention of everyone in the school newspaper office. Yaerlin blushed and looked at the broken glass bottle on the ground. "Ahem, I'm sorry, I accidentally spilled the pumpkin juice." ”

The Auror by the door didn't say anything. He waved his wand and cleared away all the pumpkin juice and glass fragments that were scattered on the ground.

Violet nodded to Munn again, then quickly returned to her seat with her head lowered, holding two pages of paper, and read the manuscript.

"Okay, let's go back to the dormitory as soon as we finish what we are doing. We have to go to class tomorrow." Moon clapped his hands and said loudly: "Everyone did a good job, especially Yaerlin. I have a few manuscripts this week. The review was very good, almost all of them are ok, but there are a few articles that I have put into next week, and I can’t put them in this week’s school newspaper. You don’t need to come over tomorrow morning, I will just send out the school newspaper alone.”

The little wizards each responded, and most of them stood up and slowly packed up their things. Yaerlin bared his teeth and smiled at Munn, and then came over, "By the way, Munn, I've collected all your textbooks and everything." Really? Do you want me to help you bring your textbooks to the auditorium tomorrow?"

"No, I've brought them all, but you can help me look in the bedside table drawer to see if there's a blue-covered notebook inside. If so, bring it with me tomorrow." Moon pondered for a moment. , replied: "I have the impression that the notebook should be there, but I couldn't find it when I wanted to use it yesterday. I'm not sure if I forgot it in the dormitory and didn't bring it over. Please help me look for it. If it's not in the bedside table drawer If so, it might be in my box."

"Okay, I understand." Yaerlin responded, turned around and pulled Gal and the others out of the school newspaper office.

A few minutes later, only Moon, Violet, Doreen, and Demi were left in the school newspaper office.After a while, Doreen also put on her small bag, said hello to a few people, and left the school newspaper office.

For a moment, apart from the sound of Violet swishing her paintbrush, the only sound left in the room was the sound of Moon turning the pages of a book from time to time.

The Aurors stood meticulously in different positions in the room. They looked like three stone sculptures. Demi looked at this and that in boredom, thinking that if these people played bodyguards in the movie, they might be able to become famous. Make extra money.

After another half an hour, Violet put down her brush and walked up to Moon with the Golden Snitch illustration and the manuscript. She lowered her head apologetically and said, "The Golden Snitch illustration has been changed, but the manuscript …I probably don’t have time to add new illustrations.”

"It's not a big problem." Moon smiled and took over the illustrations and manuscript, and reassured: "It's okay. You and Demi should leave quickly, otherwise Mr. Filch will cause trouble if you are later. . If that manuscript doesn’t have illustrations, I won’t publish it yet. Anyway, there are many manuscripts here that can fill the gaps.”

Violet nodded, but still looked a little disappointed, and followed Demi out of the school newspaper office dejectedly.

"Your school newspaper is quite regular." After Moon was the only little wizard left in the office, Ken O'Gorman said with a smile: "Everyone performs their duties, and the quality of the manuscript is also good. No wonder it can be done now It's so impressive that many people in our Auror office have subscribed to your school newspaper."

Moon picked up the water glass and took a sip. Then he picked up the newspapers that had been integrated and adjusted and went to the printing press, ready to start printing. "Does any of you gentlemen place an order?"

"Of course, I will order it." The middle-aged Auror with a serious look on the three Aurors who never said much said nodded and said: "My son will come to Hogwarts next year, so I I have ordered your school newspaper since last year.”

"It looks like I can send out one less newspaper tomorrow." Moon joked, and then slowly started the printing press.

…………

"You should have noticed?"

In the Hufflepuff common room, Gabriel took the pumpkin juice from Garr's hand, took a big sip, and then asked impatiently.

"Of course, otherwise why do you think I knocked over the bottle of pumpkin juice?" Arlin rolled his eyes. "I'm not a clumsy Gal."

"You are clumsy." Gal raised his arms and clamped Arlin's neck. At the same time, he turned his head to avoid Arlin's waving hands during his struggle and looked at Violet. "Violet Special, what message did Moon secretly convey to you?"

Violet took out her small drawing board from her backpack. On the lower edge of the drawing board, she wrote three words "Blake, help, message, delivery" in extremely small characters.

"Blake? Assistant Coach Black?" Gabriel looked at a few people in confusion. "Does this matter have something to do with Assistant Coach Black?"

"I don't know, but I'm sure I'm right to do what Moon said." Violet now no longer felt as disappointed as she did in the school newspaper office - because it was originally a lie.

"So, what exactly did you find?" Larian finally had the opportunity to interject and looked at a few people in confusion. "Why do you feel like you know everything, and I am the only one who is confused."

Cedric looked around again and confirmed that no one else in the common room could hear the chat between him and others, and then explained: "Although Moon will point out some things he thinks about Violet's illustrations, Question, but when have you ever seen Moon suddenly say that he wanted to add an illustration without an emergency, and it was still on a Sunday night? Especially since Moon also specifically said that if there is no time to draw illustrations for the manuscript If so, you don’t have to post it—this doesn’t sound like what Moon would say at all.”

"Oh..." Ryan suddenly realized, "You're right. Moon arranges the school newspaper clearly every time. The content arrangement is basically determined in advance. Our work on Sunday is to polish the manuscript, Adjust the details. It’s Sunday night, how could Moon change the manuscript temporarily without any emergencies?”

Violet nodded and put away the small drawing board. "So I felt something was wrong. After I took the manuscript, I found out that it was a manuscript introducing the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Yes, it was the one we sent. The one I passed. And the check mark that Moon put on the manuscript happened to tick these four words. If he didn't mean it, Moon would definitely not have done it."

"That's when I found those Aurors - Gal, please let me go quickly!" Yaerlin broke free from Gal's restraints, glared at Gal, rubbed his neck and said, "I found those Aurors. Several Aurors were staring at Moon and Violet, so they quickly drank their own pumpkin juice."

"That's so clever." Larian smiled and gave Arlin a thumbs up, "Okay, okay, what are we going to do now?"

"You don't have to do anything, just wait for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class tomorrow." Cedric said: "Moon probably wants us to ask Assistant Black to help deliver the news. There happens to be a Defense Against the Dark Arts class tomorrow morning. Art class.”

"I'm afraid not." Violet shook her head. "Burt will transform on the 20th of this month, which happens to be next Friday, which means that next week is Assistant Lupine's vacation, and he has to help take care of Burt. And The week before Assistant Lupine’s vacation was Assistant Black’s vacation, so Assistant Black will not come to teach us next Monday.”

"Then go to the faculty lounge to find him." Gal said: "Tomorrow at noon we can see if Assistant Black has come to the auditorium for lunch. If not, we will go to the faculty lounge to find him."

"Okay, then it's settled." The few young wizards looked at each other, nodded together, and made up their minds.

At the same time, in the school newspaper office, Moon also printed the newspapers that will be used tomorrow.

After placing the newspapers in piles on the table, Moon took out his copy of "Pull Through the Fog to See the Future" from his bag and read it with interest.

When the young Auror who was standing by the bed looking outside saw this, he immediately laughed, "Did you choose Divination as an elective course in your third year?"

"Well, that's right." Moon turned a page in the book, and then took out the crystal ball and fire pot from the cabinet beside the table. "We have almost finished learning tea divination. When we come back from the Christmas vacation, we should Start learning palmistry and crystal ball divination.”

"Haha, although you are a bit talkative, I don't recommend that you invest too much experience in divination." The young Auror walked to Moon, glanced at the book in his hand, and shook his head, "Hogg The Divination professor at Watts should still be Professor Trelawney. Ha, the year she came to Hogwarts, I was in fourth grade and I also chose Divination. In the first class, she predicted that I would At the end of the school year, I was hit by a thestral and broke my bones - but I have never been hit by a thestral until now."

"Ah, this." Moon laughed. "Professor Trelawney seems to be very interested in predicting the death of students."

"To be exact, she likes to predict all kinds of bad things that happen to students, just like all... fortune-telling scammers, because life is like this, good things don't work and bad things happen. And it also helps She scares you little wizards and can make some of you more convinced of her. But Professor Trelawney is also right about something. Divination depends on talent. If you don't have talent, no matter how much you learn, It's useless. The probability of a successful prediction is still very low. Just like Professor Trelawney, although she spends most of her time cheating and the occasional predictions that come true are mostly by chance, but to be honest , there were times when she was actually doing divination.”

The young Auror shrugged, "I have seen her use tarot cards to predict the result of a Quidditch match, and the result was exactly right. But most of the time, her divination still doesn't work, so she can only do it in class. Go ahead and say some scary things to fool you."

Moon book page time point 1991.12.15

Due to my personal writing style and writing rhythm habits, except for some strongly related plot spells and used as rhythm turning points when necessary, the author does not like to often add some "Mun learned this" and "Mun learned this" in the writing process. Learned that” plot.Some readers said that they hoped to open a single chapter to introduce the spells that Munn currently masters. After thinking about it, the author thought this suggestion was good, so this single chapter appeared.

However, please note that this chapter has the following restrictions:

1. There are many and complicated settings about Munn, and many of them involve subsequent plots, so the author cannot directly copy and paste the contents.Because of this, this single chapter currently only introduces the spells related to "Magic Book" that Munn has mastered. The other content needs to be picked out bit by bit by the author and put here.

2. The content of this single chapter will not be updated in real time - because the author may forget to update the content here, but it will be updated regularly, at least once at the beginning of each semester (each volume), and between volumes. If so, you can only rely on my memory. Of course, you can also remind me.

3. The spells in the grimoire come from a wide range of sources, mostly DND and COC, but not all. In addition, some spells are adapted to the magical world of Harry Potter, and their effects have been adjusted, so readers do not need to worry too much about the spells. In the original text, the brief effects of each spell will also be introduced here to facilitate everyone's reading and browsing.

4. I will slowly add a brief introduction to the effects of each spell (there is a 1000-word limit). The next update will include a brief introduction to the effects of all spells, which will take about a week.

5. The content of this single chapter will be synchronized to the set content volume before the main text, and subsequent updates will also be carried out there.

The following is a list of the Grimoire spells that Munn currently masters:

[Fish Lure Technique] The caster needs to prepare a piece of fish bait and mix it with his own blood. After putting the fish bait mixed with blood into the open water, the caster needs to recite a spell. In this way, within a period of time (usually (1 hour), a large number of fish living in this water area will be attracted to the location where the bait is thrown.

[Divination] This spell can reveal omens about the future for the caster. These omens are usually vague and obscure poems and words, which often appear suddenly in the mind of the caster.Casting this spell requires the use of a divination tool, but it is not required to be of a certain type. Any divination tool can be the medium for this spell.
