Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle

Underground, in an empty and abandoned classroom.

A dummy was standing quietly in it. Then, the ground suddenly twisted like rubber, turning into chains that suddenly stabbed out, intending to wrap around the dummy.

However, the chain just barely brushed against the dummy and after it flew high into the air, it suddenly lost its strength and lay limply on the dummy's shoulders.

"No, still not," Draco gritted his teeth.

Although the floor and chains are both inanimate objects, it is extremely difficult to control them freely.

"If your purpose is to control, why not change the floor into a swamp or something." Harry was a little confused, and the white mist dissipated in front of him.

"No way." Draco shook his head.

Harry pushed up his glasses, inexplicably feeling that the reason for Draco's refusal was that Gemma Farley had just used this number.

"You can try Voldemort's method." Harry suggested.

As soon as this word came out, Draco suddenly shook like chaff, then gritted his teeth and said, "What?"

Harry did not answer, but pointed his wand at the hem of his clothes, and then the hem of his clothes gradually danced, twisted and elongated, turning into a sharp thorn and striking towards Draco.

"My clothes are not suitable for this kind of operation... At present, this should be the use of basic transformation techniques.

Since you're wearing a robe, you should be able to try to recreate it, using your clothes as a flexible weapon... and it'll also help you practice your transfiguration, right? "

"Transformation clothes?" Draco hesitated, then pointed the wand at his robes.

"Villavit—"

The next moment, the robe started to flow, but soon it softened again.

"How do you do this?" He suddenly froze: "I can't change at all."

…

"Didn't you already achieve partial deformation?" Harry looked at him with a look that looked like he was mentally retarded.

“You have to divide this magical transformation into two parts.

The first section is to make the robe completely agile and flexible.

The second stage is to control them to transform into whatever you want. "

Draco was silent for a moment, his face twitching.

This sounds very troublesome.

"Practice...the Transfiguration of your own choice." Harry smiled, he still remembered what Draco said a few days ago.

"I took one look at the black dragon coming out of the hole and then used it. If I'm not a transformation genius, who is?!"

Then he chose to make a fuss about transfiguration.

Then, he turned around and continued practicing the Patronus Charm alone.

The Patronus Charm requires a sufficiently happy memory.

There is no doubt that the memory of when that thunder appeared, hit the Norwegian Ridgeback, and he was caught by a meteor after falling in mid-air, is irreplaceable.

The joy of being rescued, the feeling of riding a broomstick for the first time, the dragon, the magic - all these fascinating and memorable points are gathered in that moment.

It would definitely be an excellent choice for him to activate the Patronus Charm.

Draco also stopped and looked at Harry's movements.

He has always been curious about what Harry's Patronus should look like.

"Calling God to Protect——"

White fluorescence lingered on the wand, gradually spreading outward.

Then it stopped abruptly.

Both of them could clearly see the lingering white mist billowing, trying to condense a specific image.

But in the end, it still collapsed.

They practiced until late in the evening, when the noisy discussions in the castle could be heard through the classroom door, and then the two walked out of the abandoned classroom and headed to the auditorium.

In the auditorium, he soon saw Hermione.

I saw the little witch running all the way and said, "Professor Jones asked you to find him."

Harry, who was enjoying his dinner, nodded: "Okay, go right away."

After that, he stuffed the meal into his mouth, took two pieces of paper from Draco, and left quickly with Hermione.

"When did Mr. Jones find me?"

"Just now, there's no need to rush." ​​Hermione said quickly, she was afraid that Harry would choke.

"By the way, what have you been doing recently? Why can't I see you or go to the library?" Hermione wondered: "I thought I had to find you in the training classroom. To be honest, I can't find you in the cafeteria." Meeting you is already a blessing."

"Nothing much," Harry said, "Just practicing the Patronus Charm or something."

"Harry!" Hermione suddenly whispered: "The Patronus Charm is a very advanced spell, you don't need to force yourself to learn it like this.

Moreover, there are no dementors for you to use on weekdays. If it is used to deal with daily life, it is too trivial. "

"Just...challenge yourself. Do you remember? Uncle Mu En has already planned to include the Patronus Charm in the seventh-grade curriculum."

Harry explained casually.

"No." Hermione shook her head: "You can hardly find anyone except during class time this week. If it was just like before, then I would still believe you, but now"

The little witch has a tendency to get to the bottom of things.

"Harry!" Hermione said suddenly seriously.

"Tell me honestly, have you heard any news about your parents?"

Hermione looked at Harry's green pupils under his glasses seriously.

"Aside from practicing the Patronus Charm for no reason this week, you haven't cared about Sirius, Peter Pettigrew or your parents anymore."

As she said that, Hermione's pupils flickered and she said with some fear: "Tell me, do you want to go to Azkaban?"

Harry stood there, looking at Hermione's frightened face, and took a deep breath.

He never expected that Hermione would think of this.

"How could this be possible?" Harry smiled awkwardly.

"Anyway, you dared to trouble the mysterious man last year. It wouldn't be too weird to do these things again, right." Hermione said angrily, staring at Harry with her eyes.

"Well, that's what I thought." Harry nodded awkwardly. Hermione was too tough. If he didn't say anything, he might not be able to gain anything, and he would be fooled again and again.

"Are you crazy?" Hermione's voice suddenly rose an octave higher, and some people around her looked sideways, with gossipy expressions on their faces.

The two quickly walked forward at a faster pace.

After reaching the third floor, Hermione came back to her senses: "Harry, you are really... No, what are you thinking? Oh my God, how could you possibly do this? This is simply a fantasy."

"It's okay, Hermione." Harry reassured.

"What do you mean it's okay, let's go to Professor Jones's office now." Hermione grabbed Harry's wrist and walked towards the office.

"I don't know what news you know about Sirius, but your behavior is still too exaggerated. I must tell Professor Jones."

"."

"Hermione, don't worry."

"Harry, it goes without saying that I have to tell Mr. Jones." Hermione said righteously: "I have to do it even if you don't want to."

With that said, Hermione knocked on the office door.

"Come in." Mu En's voice sounded.

Then, Hermione opened the door and dragged Harry inside.

"Mr. Jones, Harry, he wants to go to Azkaban to find Sirius."

"Mr. Jones?" Hermione asked confused.

Mu En nodded solemnly: "Didn't he ask you to come with him?"

Then, Moon looked at Harry: "Harry, although I don't know who your grass team has hired now.

But I personally think that Hermione can definitely participate in this action. Although it is a bit dangerous, it is definitely a very good experience choice for her. "

Later, Mu En emphasized: "You can't say that you refuse people to participate in this activity because you are subjectively worried that she will be in danger."

"Huh?" Harry and Hermione made the same sound.

It took quite a while before Hermione found out that it was Moon who suggested going to Azkaban.

Just like last year's trouble with Voldemort.

Afterwards, Hermione still expressed her doubts. Well, her attitude was not tough, but her doubts were entirely out of concern for Harry.

"Of course." Mu En nodded naturally: "You are already in second grade, don't you still know how to rob a prison?"

Harry nodded seriously.

"But... isn't this something bad people do?" Hermione was still a little unsure.

"We are still not sure whether the person in prison is a bad person or not." Mu En smiled.

"Furthermore, the reason for using this method is that there are some conflicts related to the Ministry of Magic.

It's a bit complicated to say. If you want to know more, you can ask Harry. "

With that said, Mu En stood up and walked out of the office: "Let's talk about these things later. I have to take Harry to do some serious things first."

"Okay." Hermione nodded, then looked at Harry: "So Mr. Jones said you had a team? But! You never told me?!"

"No! I didn't say anything to anyone! I haven't thought about it yet!" Harry explained quickly, and then hurriedly followed Moon to escape.

Late night, Hogsmeade.

Harry had not really entered this place yet. At this moment, he was looking around curiously as he was not allowed to enter and leave by the third grade.

"Uncle Moon, where are we going?" Harry asked.

"Pig's Head Bar." Moon said, "There are some special situations in Nagini, and we need your Parseltongue to help."

Soon, two people, one large and one small, came to the Pig's Head Bar. The bar was still dirty and greasy. When the drinkers saw Mu En, they looked at Harry in surprise. The lightning scar was extremely dazzling, making them all uncomfortable. Sideways glance.

Mu En didn't pay attention to the looks of these people and walked directly upstairs with Harry.

"You're here!" As soon as Aberforth heard the footsteps, he walked quickly to the stairs and saw the two of them.

"How is your condition?" Mu En asked calmly.

"It's very wrong. She keeps switching between the two states repeatedly. I was afraid that she would have a mental breakdown, so I gave her a coma spell in the morning." Aberforth said quickly.

"Uncle Moon, what's going on?" Harry was a little confused.

"Come in and talk." Aberforth clutched the dirty rag.

"Last week, Dumbledore began to sort out the scattered [human memories] in Nagini's mind and re-enter them into the [new soul] shaped by me." Mu En said slowly, adding special nouns The tone was increased and emphasized.

"Yeah." Harry nodded quickly, indicating that this was still within the scope of his understanding.

"So since then, Nagini can successfully become a human. She has picked up some human instincts!"

With that said, the three of them walked into a bedroom. There were three oil lamps around them, each with a small light-emitting spell, which illuminated the whole room brightly.

On the floor of the cage, sleeping was a woman covered in dirt, with disheveled hair and scars all over her thin body.

"Is this Nagini?" Harry was a little at a loss: "I thought..."

"Yes, at least judging from the surface, she is quite young." Mu En nodded and patted his shoulder: "She is not a person yet."

After saying that, he stretched his hand forward and held it slightly. Silvery mist rose from his hand, floated into the cage, and fell on Nagini's body.

Within a moment, the woman lying in the huge cage slowly woke up.

Aberforth also took the opportunity to bring a plate of grilled pork chops and tentatively stretched it towards the cage.

Nagini also rushed over. Obviously, she was very hungry.

clang--

The girl's head suddenly hit the iron cage.

Aberforth shook his hand and sighed: "Obviously, she was eyeing my arm.

Only when she is extremely hungry and no living person is around can she eat normal food.

I didn't take adequate precautions before, which caused her to catch several foxes and mice."

Nagini kicked off the plate and rushed toward the cage.

"Kill you all. You are all my food!!"

"Let her calm down." Moon motioned to Harry.

Harry nodded, then turned his attention to Nagini. The mouth is grinning to the base of the ears, the snake scales are looming, the finger-long fangs are clearly exposed, and the ferocious snake letters are flying in the air.

He calmed down and then slowly raised his hand.

"Hissssssssss"

When Nagini heard this voice, her face suddenly became confused, then she turned around and sat in the middle of the cage, obeying Harry's instructions honestly.

"Beautiful!" Mu En nodded with satisfaction: "The threshold for being controlled by Parseltongue is indeed low enough. From this point of view, everything is much simpler."

Then, before Harry could speak, he explained:

"Now, physically, she is a snake and a human being constantly intertwined. And mentally, she is a chaotic guy with human memories but controlled by beast instincts."

"No! It's more than that!" Aberforth said quickly: "Except for the memory that Dumbledore forcibly instilled in her, she can't even remember effectively. A week has passed, and she still doesn't even remember me. It's like, She doesn't know how to use her brain at all."

"Yeah" Mu En nodded thoughtfully.

"Then it seems we need to contact Dumbledore."

"I sent my Patronus to look for him, just a little while before you guys came because I wasn't quite sure when you were coming."

"Then let's wait until he comes." Mu En didn't say much, and then used the transformation technique to conjure a chair and sit on it.

"Uncle Moon." Harry said, "I don't understand why this [new soul] is still like this? Why is she still unable to regain her senses and is still controlled by my Parseltongue?"

"Good question." Mu En nodded, then he looked around and raised his hand to summon a tin kettle.

After the kettle came into his hand, it quickly twisted and transformed into a long snake.

"If this is Nagini's soul." Mu En gestured to the long snake.

Harry nodded seriously.

Then, the long snake suddenly exploded in front of his eyes and turned into pulp.

"Now, this soul has been mixed into pieces by me."

Then the meat paste in Mu En's hand began to change rapidly, turning into a human body, complete with limbs and head.

"This is the current state of Nagini's soul."

As he spoke, Mu Enyou stretched out his other hand and pulled out the flesh-and-blood puppet. He pulled out an illusory ball of light and threw it into the air.

Then, he injected a new light group into it.

"Dumbledore replaced her memory!"

Saying that, Mu En looked at Harry.

"Now. What's her problem?"

Harry stared at the doll again and again, taking into account Nagini's specific performance before.

Soon, he gave a somewhat strange answer.

"This meat is not human flesh! No. In essence, Nagini's soul is still transformed from the soul of a snake." Harry said.

"So... well, the snake's instinct is still affecting and dominating it."

"Yes, that's not right either." Mu En nodded.

"If I use this doll as an example, she still lacks [skin] right now."

"That is, something that fixes its own state."

As he said that, Mu En put down the puppet and made a hideous wound on his two palms: "Let me tell you some biological knowledge. People can grow normally by gluing two different wounds together. .”

As he spoke, Mu En overlapped the two wounds on his palms.

The next scene really made Harry unable to sleep well for some time to come.

It wasn't a bloody scene, he had seen blood before.

That is an extremely abnormal and distorted picture——

"Don't cry sadly. If you want to learn human body alchemy, it's still child's play." Mu En tore open the palms that had grown together.

"The same goes for souls. But the souls I just put together don't have the control of the [soul state binder], which is the [skin] on the soul. This causes its growth to not grow taller and stronger normally.

Instead, it is deformed and grows in the direction of [snake], and the soul of this snake is contrary to the soul of the human state. "

As he said that, an arm suddenly grew rapidly from the wound on Mu En's hand and strangled his neck fiercely.

"If you don't control it, this is what will happen - you will be killed by your other self."

As he spoke, he tilted his head in cooperation.

After demonstrating all this, Mu En chopped off the proliferated arm with a wave of his hand and threw it on the floor, where it turned into ashes.

"Logically speaking, I should wait until Dumbledore has transferred his memory before starting to build her [skin], but now it seems that there are some minor glitches in Dumbledore's memory work."

After understanding this, Harry looked at Nagini, feeling a little inexplicably depressed.

"That's it." Mu En smiled.

"This black magic has been used for decades to implant the soul of a snake into the soul of a human being and eat her completely. And the snake has lived like this for decades.

So, what we have now is the only way we can think of. "

Yes eat.

It can even be said that Nagini's own soul has been "digested" for who knows how many years.

"I know, Uncle Moon. I'm just feeling a little emotional." Harry whispered.

Seeing a thin girl in her early twenties locked in a cage like an animal was a huge visual shock.

Harry had no idea what it would cost to cast a blood curse.

However, saving her will require two of the most powerful wizards in the world.

One is responsible for the soul, and the other is responsible for the memory.

Both are cutting-edge magical fields.

But this is still very difficult, and it may not even be possible to completely cure it.

Mu En saw what Harry was thinking and said calmly:

“It only takes one knife to kill a person, which humans have learned thousands of years ago in the barbaric era.

However, if you want to save a person who has been stabbed in the vital part with a knife, even today, after thousands of years of medical development, if you lack the necessary conditions, you cannot do it. "

As he spoke, his ears twitched slightly and he had caught Dumbledore's arrival. He stood up and patted Harry on the shoulder.

"Evil deeds are always easy to commit - and have been for thousands of years."

Moon didn't know what thoughts and touches Harry brought to his heart when he personally ended Quirrell's life last year.

But he sincerely hoped that this child would not make the same mistakes he had made.
