Harry Potter and the Burnt Badger

Propose to visit Violet's room?

Not very good, kind of like a stinker.

Proposing to go out for a walk together?

It's a bit silly, it's still raining lightly outside.

Propose a game of wizard's chess?

...This suggestion made Moon feel like he looked wise.

After pondering a few suggestions, Moon finally thought of a pretty good question, and turned back to look at Violet. As a result, Violet happened to turn her head to look at him, and their eyes met. The two people seemed to have been electrocuted, and suddenly they turned their heads in opposite directions.

It's okay now. The question that just occurred to me was suddenly rushed out of my mind.

Moon took a deep breath and relaxed himself as much as possible. Then he spoke first and then turned his head away. This time he felt much better, at least he would no longer be so startled that he turned his head back. .

"Ahem, um, Violet, I remember you said before that you spend most of your time living in the city with your family?"

With the topic in mind, the little awkwardness between the two finally began to melt away a little. Violet quickly responded: "Yes, but we will come here during the holidays so that grandma can come as a guest, and the The environment is also more comfortable. In addition, sometimes if my father has to go out to perform and only my mother and I are at home, my mother and I will come here to stay for a few days."

"Is that so..."

It's over, it's over, I'm so chatty, I'm embarrassed again.

Moon felt as if a monkey was crawling on him right now, frantically scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks.

"By the way, Moon." Fortunately, Violet seemed to be aware of this problem, and after answering Munn's question, she was not as shy as before. So right after, Munn heard Violet Lite asked, "Would you like to go to my room?"

Moon nodded hurriedly, and Merlin confirmed that he really didn't really want to see Violet's room because he wanted to see Violet's room, but simply because he wanted to avoid the two of them being too embarrassed, so he agreed so quickly.

Really.

…………

Under the leadership of Violet, the two got up from the sofa and walked into another door in the living room. The layout of Violet's house was very simple. As soon as you entered the door, there was the living room, and to the left were the dining room and kitchen. To the right are her bedroom and her parents' bedroom. The door is facing his parents' studio, and the bathroom is next to the studio.

After Gorov left and Lady Evelina returned to the room, the boy and girl were originally sitting on the sofa in the living room. Therefore, in fact, they were only "" away from Violet's room. Just one door away.”

Moon didn't know what a standard girl's room should look like. Apart from his mother An's and Aunt Nora's rooms, he had only seen his cousin Hesper's room. The room of a little guy who is only three or four years old is also included.

But after seeing Violet's room, he immediately felt that even if it was not a "standard girl's room", at least it made him feel at a glance that Violet should live in such a room. That kind of room.

The simple wooden frame bed is covered with beige sheets and quilts sewn with small yellow flower patterns; next to the bed is a square bedside table with some painting tools and a table that are exactly the same as the ones on the dining room table. A glass vase, but what was inserted in it was not flowers, but the two paper flowers that Moon folded for her - now they are both inserted with wooden "flower stems"; next to the vase, there are Two photo frames, containing photos of Moon and

Violet's photo.

On the other side of the bed, there is a large wardrobe against the wall, and a desk is placed on the other side of the wall where the door is.A large hanging painting can be seen above the desk. Judging from the signature at the bottom, it was obviously painted by Violet herself. The content of the painting was very familiar to Munn. It was exactly the same as the gift he received at Christmas, except that this painting There are no figures of Moon and Violet in the painting.At present, the desk is tidied up, with painting tools on one side and books on the other side. Only the colorful traces scattered on the table can prove that the owner of the desk has completed many paintings on this desk.

Apart from these, there is only a large window, a chair, two low tree stools and a shelf with more painting supplies.Even so, this small room still seemed a bit crowded.

So much so that both Moon and Violet had to get a little closer.

-

[Note 1] Among the three children of the previous generation of the Shafik family, Golov is 8 years older than his sister An and 10 years older than his brother Edgar. Golov’s wife Nora is older than Golov. They are only 1 year younger, so there is a full 7 years difference between the two women Nora and An, and there is a certain age gap.In addition, because Golov and Nora are both very busy, Hesper and Owen were born later than Moon. Although it cannot be said to be "old age", it does belong to "late childbearing". "Yes.

Chapter 162 The Truth

In the afternoon, the drizzle finally stopped. At Violet's suggestion, the two little wizards went out and took the bus to the city of York.

The two of them gradually got rid of their awkward emotions and relaxed a lot. Violet was like a little guide. She first took Munn around York Minster and introduced a lot of things about hemp to Munn. The story of the Muggle religion - this aroused a lot of interest in Moon. He knew much more about the Muggle world than Violet thought, but he had always had a partial understanding of the history and stories of these European religions. .

Later, the two walked to the Yorkshire Museum, which is only a few minutes away from York Minster.Unexpectedly, they happened to encounter a heavy rain when they came out, so the two of them found a nearby cafe to sit for a while. The two little dolls, who looked like golden children, inevitably attracted many people's kind looks. The service of the cafe After confirming several times that their parents were nearby, Sheng even gave them a cake.

It was not until evening that Moon and Violet finally returned home.Under Mrs. Evelina's warm greeting, Moon stayed here again and had a sumptuous dinner before being picked up by Uncle Edgar.

"Is this your little girlfriend's house? It looks really nice. The little girl is also very pretty and polite. Overall, her vision is worthy of praise, Moon." She had just left Violet's house. In the small courtyard, Uncle Edgar winked and patted Moon on the shoulder, "Someone didn't admit it last summer. He can't hide it this time."

"..." Moon glanced at his uncle speechlessly, and said angrily: "Go home, Uncle Edgar, or I will tell Uncle Golov later that you secretly took me to the bar and encouraged me. drink wine."

"What a great idea. How about we go have a drink?" Edgar clapped his hands and said with bright eyes, "I already have a girlfriend, so I'm half an adult."

?Do you distinguish between adults and children by whether they have a girlfriend?

Moon turned away and gave up the idea of ​​continuing the conversation with Uncle Edgar - he should never have talked to this man in the first place.

"Tsk, it's boring." Edgar muttered with a smile, and then reached out to hold Munn. After Munn was ready and grabbed his arm, he apparated back to the sand with Munn. Fick Manor.

On the last day of the Christmas vacation, Moon had a good sleep comfortably at home.

…………

On the way back to school, as always, Munn once again sat in the same compartment with his three roommates. People were coming and going and noisy in the compartment, but there was no influx of people between Moon and him. Cedric's ears - because they were having so much fun watching it.

Gal bought a new wizard chess set, and not long after he got in the car, he pulled Yaerin to play. However, the newly bought chess pieces were not as useful as the Atman chess pieces they had used before.As a result, the chess pieces that used to strictly obey no matter what the order was, this time completely turned into a lot of thorns. They always had to mumble a few words to refute the orders given by Fangar and Yaerlin, and one of the knight chess pieces was even more so. As soon as they opened their mouths, they would scold them loudly, which made Gal so angry that he almost smashed it.

Early the next morning, the little wizards were "forced" to restart their learning mode. There was no doubt that most of the little wizards were as tired as ever, and the professors had nothing to do about it.Some strict ones, like Professor McGonagall, would even reprimand him a few words, while more professors would simply turn a blind eye.Of course, Professor Snape is still a special case - it is impossible to reprimand, he can only ridicule.

Therefore, in the first Potions class after returning to school, almost all the second-year Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw wizards were scolded. The only one who escaped was Munn, and even Cedric was so nervous that he weighed the wrong material, causing him to endure a mental attack for three full minutes.

As the only young wizard who had not been scolded, Moon's mood was not at all better, because as expected, an article about the latest law was published in the Daily Prophet this morning.

The only good news is that the newly issued decree is quite different from the original version that Professor Dumbledore showed to Moon - the decree titled 'Enforcing the Legalization of the Werewolf Code of Conduct' is not It will be implemented immediately, but a full one-year buffer period has been reserved. During this year, any werewolf can register with the Ministry of Magic and sign the guidelines.And after a year, any werewolves who have not signed the "Werewolf Code of Conduct" will begin to be forcibly captured by the Ministry of Magic and forced to complete the signing of the code.

The problem is that Moon also thought of another unfortunate thing at the same time: Voldemort is not dead yet, and his curse that is not known to be true is still a dark cloud hanging over the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.Professor Dumbledore obviously wants Professor Lupine to become a regular next year after teaching half a semester of classes. However, what if Professor Lupine is driven away by Voldemort's curse after staying for one year? That……

He will still have to face the pursuit of the law...

After returning to the dormitory after class, Moon scratched his head in distress. As a result, he scratched for half an hour but couldn't find any good solution. In the end, he could only put the matter aside for the time being.

After all, it will only happen in a year, so let’s take care of the present first.

He took out the crystal ball and the enchanted brazier, and after getting ready, he began to chant softly, "Listen to my request and show me the vision of the old days——"

The time was late at night on October 10, and the location was still the forbidden forest area guarded by Lu Wei. The faces that appeared there were Lu Wei and Jacob Saul.

This time, layers of dense mist emerged from the crystal ball smoothly, and began to construct the night of heavy rain.

…………

"Heavy rain, pungent-smelling herbs, plus the life-threatening impact of those giant wolves - no wonder Jacob Thor was able to successfully pass through Lu Wei's guard."

The picture in the crystal ball was fixed on when Hagrid arrived at Lu Wei's side. Professor Dumbledore quietly looked at the wolf blood that had been washed away without a trace, and the almost impossible to see clearly. A handful of wolf hair said with emotion: "This cannot be blamed on Hagrid or Lu Wei. Jacob Thor launched this attack at all costs. No one can do it." The guards here are better. Congratulations, Moon, you found the truth. Now, Hagrid no longer has to blame himself."

Chapter 163 Hogwarts Four-wizard Tournament

Tuesday, October 1991, 1.

This is a memorable day, because just today, Hagrid almost "killed" Moon.

Moon went to Professor Dumbledore's office at noon. After the afternoon class, he hurriedly finished his dinner, then ran to Hagrid's hut and used the Mortland glass illusion to enchant Jacob. ·Thor showed the punctuality scene to Hagrid completely through Lu Wei.

After seeing with his own eyes that Lu Wei had killed seven or eight giant wolves, there was finally a trace of oversight by the guards. Jacob Saul accurately caught the gap and sneaked through, and saw the marks on the ground. After being washed away, destroyed, and finally disappeared, Hagrid finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then hugged Munn - whether it was the fatigue that Munn was showing due to casting spells, or the fact that he clearly knew that Muen was En had been busy working on this for so many days, which made Hagrid extremely grateful to Mun.Fortunately, he knew the endurance of the little wizard and did not strangle Moon to death.

But then he expressed his gratitude to Munn again as he was sending Munn out. When he got excited, he even patted the wooden door of the cabin twice.

The wooden door fell down at an extremely fast, lightning-fast speed, and it headed straight for Moon even with the last effort of the hinges to rebound.In Munn's horrified eyes, the wooden door just missed hitting his head.

If Hagrid hadn't been so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and immediately grabbed the door panel, he would have gone to Munn's grave to thank Munn in the future.

…………

In the following week, the little wizards finally gradually returned to their normal lives, and they were no longer so half-hearted in class.Hagrid completely stopped blaming himself, and for a whole week, he was almost whistling every time everyone saw him.

January is almost halfway through, and the fifth-grade wizards are extremely busy, because they are about to usher in their OWL exams in June; some seventh-grade wizards would rather choose to die, because NEWT is heading towards them. Coming closer and closer.

The sixth-grade little wizards are in a superposition state of happiness and unhappiness. On the one hand, they can smile and watch the fifth-grade little wizards preparing for the OWL exam, but on the other hand, they have to watch the seventh-grade little wizards busy with fear. ——Wait until next year, some of them will have to go through the same hardship.

Only the little wizards in the lower grades are the happiest. They only have final exams, so there is no need to start preparing for the exams so early. They can still waste their time for several months. Watching their seniors and sisters struggling every day makes them even more miserable. My happiness has doubled, I am so happy.

The development of the school newspaper is rising steadily. In the last period of time, Moon's verbal conflict with other media in the newspaper was quite fierce. This to some extent also increased the number of readers of the school newspaper. Even after that big debate, there were still Many people stayed.After all, strictly speaking, Hogwarts is the alma mater of most wizards in the British wizarding world. It is good to spend a few Knuts to subscribe to a newspaper so that you can often learn about interesting things happening in your alma mater. In addition, there are Many professors will share their research results on it, and it is also a rare official voice window for Hogwarts. Regardless of which one, it is quite worthwhile for readers.

Afterwards, the Wizarding Chess Club and the Gobstone Club, under Moon's guidance, joined forces to hold a small event, which was named the "Hogwarts Four-wizard Tournament" by Moon.When the event was first announced, everyone thought it was another competition between four colleges competing for supremacy. However, after carefully reading the rules, they discovered that the rules of this event not only did not distinguish between the four colleges, but also divided the four colleges. Messy.Because the requirement to participate is actually a team of four, and everyone in the team must be from different colleges.

However, with Moon's previous promotion, the relationship between the four colleges has already eased a lot.In addition, the competition looked really interesting and the prizes were generous, so it attracted many young wizards to sign up to participate - it was not very popular, but it was not as popular as the school newspaper office and the two clubs had previously thought. Low.

Throughout the event, the Wizard Chess Club was responsible for the chessboard maze competition: each team must select two people to enter a large chessboard venue divided into mazes by chess pieces, and the other two people were responsible for answering wizard chess-related questions outside. Each time you answer a question correctly, two "chess pieces" can move 1-3 squares. The specific number of squares is determined according to the difficulty of the question. In contrast, the other group in the opposite direction also has two people acting as chess pieces. Two people Answer the questions, and in the end, whichever group gets out of the maze first will advance to the next game, which is the game in charge of the Gobstone Club.

Compared to the Wizard Chess Club, the Gobstone Club doesn't have many tricks up its sleeve. After all, there are many more people who can play Gobstone than Wizard Chess.Therefore, the game in the Gobushi Club is simply a game of playing Gobushi. Two teams play four games one-on-one. Whichever group has a higher final total score will advance.

The last two games are all handled by the school newspaper office. One game is a treasure hunt competition. Everyone in the school newspaper office will hide forty "treasure cards" in different locations in the corridors on each floor of the school for each team to enter. Search - but the contestants' wands will be confiscated.After the treasure hunting time is over, the two teams that find the most treasure cards will advance to the finals.

The final is the most attractive game for everyone. The two teams will compete in a duel. Each team will select three people and decide the order in which they will appear. Between Professor Flitwick and Sprout There will be three duels under the witness and supervision of the professor. The team that wins more than two times will be the final winner. This will not only gain twenty extra points for their college (in Professor Dumbledore’s case) With their approval, Munn and the others were given the right to give out this reward). At the same time, they could also receive a ten galleons coupon from Rhodes' Joke Shop, a Four-wizard trophy (gold-plated), and four Four-wizard trophy. Tournament badge and prize money of twelve gold galleons sponsored by Rod's Joke Shop.

The losers group who made it to the finals also received rewards. Although not as generous as the winners group, they also received ten extra points, four high-end quills from Wenrenju Quill Shop [Note 1], and four semi-finals. The winning badge and the prize money of four gold galleons sponsored by Literary Quill Shop.

[Note 1] The Literary Quill Shop is located in Hogsmeade Village and specializes in selling all kinds of quills.

Chapter 164

The official start date of the Hogwarts Four-Wizard Tournament is set at the end of January. The second and third games will be held throughout February, and the final is scheduled for March.This unhurried arrangement is mainly to avoid the Quidditch game. There is no way, there is a Quidditch game to be played in February and March, and the game cannot be held outside of weekends.

There are still more than ten days before the start of the competition, which gives the little wizards enough time to form a team and register. In the next short period of time, the Hogwarts Four-wizard Tournament became the Hogwarts Little Wizards. Content that they are hotly discussing.Even those little wizards who have no acquaintance between colleges or in other colleges are happy to participate in the discussion. Everyone in the school newspaper office is unable to participate because they are a member of the organizer. Looking at Moon's eyes couldn't help but look a little sad.However, Moon had no choice but to buy a lot of candies and prank goods to appease everyone.

The plan to capture Peter Pettigrew was officially arranged by Moon.He asked for nothing, his only request was that Peter Pettigrew would have no way to escape and be captured directly.

As for the changes to the world that this will bring - that has long been out of his consideration, and even from the beginning, this was not in his consideration, even before he realized that his birth had already changed the world. This is a time when the world has changed a lot.

Because he knew very well that as soon as he came to Hogwarts, everything would slowly begin to change.Whether he reveals his talent, becomes a top student, or wants to improve the relationship between Hogwarts houses, everything will be different unconsciously.As long as there is interaction, the butterfly effect will occur, and change will become uncontrollable. In this case, why should you be restrained and dare not do anything?

Therefore, Moon is not only not afraid of changing everything, but is even interested in it.He is not afraid of change, he just hopes that he can personally make some things develop in the best direction, and that is enough.

For example, how much impact will saving Sirius Black have on Harry Potter?

Moon quietly looked at the black dot named "Peter Pettigrew" on the Marauder's Map. In this silent night, this black dot did not make any movement and always stayed by Percy's side.

Maybe he was sleeping peacefully at this moment, or maybe he was still as full of fear and anxiety as when he had just escaped from Sirius Black, and maybe even a little bit complacent.

But, none of this matters anymore. In less than a month, he will meet the end that should belong to him - being imprisoned in Azkaban and living with other Death Eaters and Dementors. together.

…………

In the next few days, Moon went in and out of the library several times - in Mrs. Pince's view, this was a rare thing, because in the past, Moon would usually borrow two or three books in one visit. After I finish, I will come back to borrow other books to read.Moreover, in the recent period, the number of visits by Moon has plummeted (because Moon wants to focus mainly on the books he brought out of the Room of Requirement, and this is still the case even now).

What's even more strange is that in addition to books, Moon also borrowed many newspapers.

After two or three days of this, Mrs. Pince couldn't help but asked strangely: "Fox, are you looking for something? Tell me, maybe I can help you."

"Well, I want to find some newspapers from 1981 and 1982. The specific time should be from the end of 1981 to the beginning of 1982, but I'm not sure." Moon bowed and replied.

"Newspapers from 1981 and 1982?" Mrs. Pince repeated Moon's words, then stood up and led Moon to a corner of the library. "Which newspaper do you want?"

"Just the one from the Daily Prophet will do."

"That should be...here." Mrs. Pince's footsteps finally stopped in front of a row of bookshelves. Moon looked in the direction of her finger. Sure enough, the entire row of shelves was filled with volumes. Each volume of newspapers is a month's worth and is stuffed into different small grids.Moreover, the corresponding date is also marked under each grid, specifically which month and year it is.

"Thank you very much." Moon thanked Mrs. Pingsi again, and Mrs. Pingsi waved her hand, "I really want to thank you for my words. Remember to sort them out when you come back."

Moon responded and quickly took down several newspapers from the grid. After confirming them one by one, he carried the newspapers to complete the formalities and returned to the dormitory.

…………

On the 27th, the weather was quite beautiful and sunny. Team 22 and more than 80 young wizards followed people from the school newspaper office and wizard chess club out of the castle, followed by many other students who were watching the fun.

The people from the Wizard Chess Club had arranged the venue a day ago, so not long after arriving here, Ian, the current president of the Wizards Chess Club, began to read out the rules and then officially announced the start of the game.

At the same time, Gal standing outside the maze lightly bumped Cedric's shoulder. "Is it true that Moon won't come over? It looks really interesting. I didn't expect Gavin Travers, that stupid guy." They were actually assigned to answer questions, and I think their team will most likely be the first loser."

Cedric looked at Gavin Travers, who was standing neatly on the answering table, and couldn't help laughing. As a result, his laughter attracted the attention of many people nearby. He quickly restrained himself, and then He replied in a low voice: "Moon told me that he will come over later. It seems that he has something important to do in a hurry."

Gal shrugged. On the answering table, the members of the Wizard Chess Club began the first round of questions, so the two of them stopped talking and watched the game.

Anyway, Moon has a lot of things to be busy with from time to time. For them, this is nothing new.

Just as Cedric said, while the first Hogwarts Four-wizard Tournament was in full swing on the lawn outside the castle, Moon hurried to Professor Dumbledore with a newspaper. The principal's office.

"Ah, you are finally here, Moon." Professor Dumbledore, wearing a dark red satin robe, stood in front of the window, looking at the wizard chess board maze on the lawn outside, and said cheerfully, without even turning his head. Reply: "So, what happened that made you ignore the game you organized and didn't let me watch it? Instead, you asked me to wait for you in the office?"

Chapter 165

"I promise, Professor, it must be a very important thing." Moon looked at Professor Dumbledore and said with a slight hesitation: "But I can't guarantee whether this is a good thing."

"Oh?" Professor Dumbledore turned to look at Moon, "I'm not surprised. Bad things always happen one after another. So, what exactly is it?"

"I saw Peter Pettigrew on the Marauder's Map." Moon pursed his lips. "But if the newspapers collected in the library are not fake, Peter Pettigrew should be dead. In other words, either there is someone in the school For a student who coincidentally has the same name as Peter Pettigrew, either the ghost of Peter Pettigrew appeared in Hogwarts at some point, or the Marauder's Map is broken. But I think it is more likely..."

The moment he heard the name "Peter Pettigrew", Professor Dumbledore turned around abruptly, with no trace of surprise on his face. "Peter Pettigrew? Are you sure?"
