Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle

Hogsmeade, village path.

Harry snapped his fingers, and two balls of light suddenly shone around him and Draco.

Suddenly, Mundungus saw the two people and was half frightened.

This is not human!

"Gentlemen, are you asking for the wrong person?"

"I don't think so," Draco said slowly, speaking rapidly in his head.

Over the past two nights, he had been rehearsing how he should speak, what postures he should use, and what tone of voice he should use.

In his imagination, it should be like sitting at the main seat at a long table at home, and there should be a wine glass in front of everyone.

Then he crossed his hands together and spoke slowly.

Father has always been like this

"Mundungus, there is no need to be so formal. I came to you because I have a deal." Draco's tone was calm, and what came to mind was Lucius's posture.

Mundungus leaned on the ground and looked at the two wands pointed at him.

This is not a question of being cautious or not.

"Stand up first." Draco smiled and took back his branch.

Mundungus stood up in a hurry.

The next moment, chains suddenly rose from the surrounding ground, binding him.

Draco's eyes narrowed.

Isn't this a trick that I have been practicing?

Just as they were thinking, two urgent voices suddenly appeared behind them.

"Mundungus!!"

Looking back, it was the guy who said they were goblins in the tavern and his drinking buddies.

What this kind of guy never lacks is fair-weather friends.

"Damn it, what the hell are you-"

The next moment, Harry suddenly raised his hand, and his wand was drawn out at this moment.

At the same time, Harry had no choice but to whisper a curse quickly.

The level of the silent spell is still too weak.

And facing these guys, he didn't want to hold back. Before he got involved in magic, he had seen how easily these guys could burst out with unexpected power.

"Fainted—Villavito—fainted—"

Then, before the two guys could react, they were knocked unconscious and even flew backwards for several meters.

Draco swallowed.

Damn this guy

These are three adult wizards.

Harry spat, twisted his wand slightly, and tilted his head at Draco.

Draco had no choice but to look away first, and then stepped forward.

"I hope you won't do anything inappropriate. Would you mind telling me where you keep your wand?"

"Inside the sleeves." Mundungus said quickly. After he saw that his two drinking buddies were not able to support each other, he lost all resistance.

After putting away the wand, Draco continued to speak slowly.

"We have heard that Mr. Mundungus is very capable in the wizarding world, so we would like to ask you for a favor."

"You tell me." Mundungus didn't even dare to argue that it wasn't his last name.

"Help us find two criminals from Azkaban." Malfoy said.

"Who is the criminal in Azkaban? As long as you tell me, I will do my best to help."

"No one." Malfoy interrupted: "As long as he comes out of Azkaban."

"This" Mundungus faltered.

"What is the problem?"

"No." Mundungus shook his head quickly: "It's just that, sir, you may not understand, but there are only a few people who come out of Azkaban, and most of those few who come out are half crazy. I don't understand you very well. What’s the reason for looking for them?”

"Understand?" Draco's tone rose slightly, he took a step closer and pinched Mundungus' face.

"What are you trying to understand?"

The snake's eyes were full of coldness. The long forked tongue circled the lips, making a faint hissing sound, which looked extremely appetizing.

"I don't. No, sir, I'm sorry! I'm too ignorant!!" Mundungus suddenly panicked. He had a feeling that if he spoke any more, those long fangs would probably explode in the next second. Stab himself in his neck.

Even Harry next to him didn't react.

Draco's adaptation to this snake head was beyond imagination.

Malfoy's talent? ?

"How long will it take to find these light-duty criminals who came out of Azkaban?"

"Maybe it will take some time."

"Mundungus, tell me, do you know what happened at Hogwarts last year? The legend of the Chamber of Secrets."

"I don't know, I've never heard of it."

"I don't know?" Draco let go of his face: "The black notebook, remember?"

"How is this possible, no one can"

"A week." Draco said slowly.

"At this time next week, we will be waiting for you at the Pig's Head Bar, hoping that you can bring the news we need." Draco said.

"However, we won't let your trip go in vain."

As he spoke, he took out a small money bag, shook it slightly, and then it made a jingling sound.

"These are deposits."

After saying that, the chains on his body were gradually loosened.

Draco used his wand to pick up the lanyard on the money bag and handed it over.

Mundungus quickly took it and quietly weighed the money bag. He knew the approximate amount in just one glance.

About twenty or thirty galleons.

Suddenly, he smiled broadly.

"I will definitely do it."

"These two friends of yours?"

"Of course, of course! I won't let them know. I will definitely clean it up. Please don't worry."

Harry and Draco walked into the Hog's Head Bar again.

"What do you want to drink?" Aberforth still asked the same question.

Although he was confused as to why the two little guys turned back.

Harry took off his gloves and heard Draco ask, "What's there?"

? ?

He turned his head and saw Draco wiping his nose, which was very uncomfortable from the smoke, and then winked at Harry.

The corners of Aberforth's lips raised: "I'll give you whatever you want to drink, as long as you pay."

Draco got even more excited.

"Give me a sherry," Draco continued in his rich voice.

"Haha." Aberforth turned around and took a bottle of wine and poured it for Draco: "Then what do you want?"

Harry shook his head quickly and quietly handed the gloves back.

"It's yours. I won't ask for worthless things back, but if anything happens in the future, don't say it here. I'm just a businessman."

The words were spoken so softly that if they weren't so close, Harry might not have been able to hear them at all.

"Sorry." Harry then realized that his two weird-looking guys might have caused trouble for Mr. Aberforth.

"Hmm." Aberforth nodded casually and said no more. He actually didn't mind providing some help to these two young boys. Mu En received no money from his treatment, but he himself never forgot this. Among them, kindness.

It's just that ruining his reputation and that of the Pig's Head Bar in the gray area will do more harm than good.

Draco quickly poured a whole glass of sherry down his throat.

"That's it? It doesn't taste very good." He muttered.

Under Aberforth's strange eyes, the two quickly left the Hog's Head Bar.

As expected, Draco started to feel dizzy halfway through, and fell completely unconscious when he returned to the lounge.

When I woke up early the next morning, my stomach was turbulent and my head was sore.

But Harry was in no mood to pay attention to him.

Because Hagrid asked Hedwig to send a note at noon.

"The Thestral can't even stand up now. Harry, do you want to come and see him? I will wait for you at the entrance of the Forbidden Forest when the sun sets today.

Hagrid. "

Obviously, this was referring to the Thestral that Harry was eyeing.

Soon, evening arrived. After dinner, Harry and Hermione walked together towards the Forbidden Forest. Looking from a distance, they happened to see Hagrid just walking out of the hut.

On the way, Harry also talked to Hermione about what happened last night.

Hermione finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Harry was not drinking.

This was the only thing Hermione learned about what they should do at their age.

Soon, they met Hagrid, who was wearing a fur coat and waved to them.

"Hermione, it's nice to meet you. Sorry Harry, to be honest, inviting you out at this time is not the right choice."

After Hagrid was cleared of his charges, he inexplicably cared a lot about these illegal things. Well, he cared a lot in his heart.

"No, it's my problem." Harry shook his head seriously: "Where is the Thestral? Let's go."

"Okay, let's set off now before it's too late." Hagrid also nodded.

"But we have to find the centaurs first."

"Centaurs?!" Harry was a little confused. He knew that there were their footprints in the Forbidden Forest, but he had never seen them before.

"Yes." Hagrid nodded: "The centaurs live in the woods, you can't expect me to give the poor Thestral to..."

Hagrid's expression was a little sad.

"Sorry, Hagrid. I haven't paid much attention to this matter during this time." Harry pursed his lips.

In fact, he had been busy with other things these days, and advised himself to forget about this matter, and hoped that Hagrid would contact him only after Ye Qi died.

He didn't want to keep waiting for the other person's death.

That's too much.

"No, don't say such silly things." Hagrid shook his head, pinched his nose hard, and made a rumble sound.

"This is a normal thing." Hagrid said: "With so many little guys living here, they want to eat meat and protect their territory, so death is a normal thing.

Newt said what is this called an ecosystem or something.

It's just that I really can't help you, so we have to go find the centaurs. "

"Thank you." Harry nodded solemnly.

Soon, the group of three entered the depths of the Forbidden Forest. Gradually, a dirt road that had been trampled and compacted for a long time appeared here.

Hagrid stopped and said, "Okay, let's stay here."

As he said that, he turned his head in advance and glanced at the two people behind him, feeling a little glad that the Malfoy child was not there.

Otherwise, he and these centaurs are likely to have conflicts. Both of them speak with guns and sticks.

Then, he turned around, pulled out a wand, pointed it at the sky and set off a red firework.

Suddenly, sparks exploded in Hagrid's hand, and sparks splashed on Hagrid's beard, causing him to wave and pat it.

"Hagrid, what's wrong?" Hermione asked anxiously.

"Oh, it doesn't matter. My old wand." Hagrid said quickly.

"It was damaged by people from the Ministry of Magic back then, and Ollivander was unwilling to repair it, so I had to braid it with unicorn hair and tie it together."

"Oh, that umbrella? Right? Can you show it to me?" Harry also thought about it.

"That's right." Hagrid nodded and handed the wand to Harry.

Harry held it in his hand and immediately saw the dazzling silver gauze. Hagrid's bandage was rough and fine. He combed out a whole lock of unicorn hair, but just wrapped it around the wand like gauze.

Harry was about to say something when the sound of hooves appeared at the other end of the path.

A sturdy man with red hair and a beard walked out, but his lower body was the body of a brown-red horse, with a red tail wagging behind him.

"Hagrid? Who are these two people? Are they students from Hogwarts?" He said with some vigilance, holding a bow and arrow in his hand.

But soon, without Hagrid needing an answer, he noticed Harry's scar.

"Oh. Harry Potter." The centaur's expression softened a little, and he was no longer so vigilant.

"Yes, this is Harry. This is Hermione Granger." Hagrid introduced: "This is Ronan."

"Hello." Harry nodded: "Nice to meet you."

Ronan nodded: "If you have anything to say, just tell me." As he said that, he looked up at the sky and looked at the stars in the sky, feeling a little lost.

"Well, there is a Thestral in the Forbidden Forest who is dying. I wonder if you can help dispose of his body."

"Thestrals?" Ronan looked at the people up and down: "Do you think the centaurs are house elves who can be driven around?"

"Just a favor." Hagrid shrugged: "We just want the heartstrings, and you can handle the rest."

When Ronan heard this, his expression softened slightly: "Okay, give me the body when the time comes."

"Then it's settled." Hagrid laughed.

"Please go back." Ronan nodded, turned around and left along the dirt road.

The three of them also walked towards the Yeqi settlement.

On the way, Hermione was a little confused: "Hagrid, why did the centaur react so strongly when it came to helping?"

Hagrid shrugged indifferently: "They have always been like this. Except for Firenze, the other centaurs are not so easy to talk to."

"I remember the book said that centaurs are very proud creatures." Hermione looked back at the description in her book.

"Actually, not really." Hagrid thought about how to explain: "They just... they think everyone is equal. But..."

Combined with Ronan's words before, Harry seemed to understand what Hagrid wanted to express: "But in order to reflect this equality, so they are a little sensitive on certain things?"

"Yes, that's right." Hagrid nodded in agreement: "Harry, you talk really strange. Are you chewing gum?"

"I wouldn't dare chew it." Harry hesitated and shook his head helplessly.

"Then he used the house elf as a metaphor? Isn't it also a manifestation of thinking that he is superior to other creatures?" Hermione said angrily.

"This... is okay." Hagrid scratched his head.

"House elves are specifically used for this purpose and have been for hundreds of years."

As he said that, he noticed Hermione's somewhat unkind look: "I mean, well, that's what I mean."

Hagrid didn't know what to say, he was never good at arguing.

Harry also changed the subject at the right time: "Hagrid, do you mind if I take a look at this wand?"

"Oh, the wand... yes." Hagrid nodded: "He is indeed not that easy to use."

"Yes." Harry also nodded: "I mean, Hagrid, you can ask Uncle Moon."

"Oh, no!" Hagrid immediately rejected the answer: "Mo En is already busy enough. Oh my god, I don't know how to repay the favors he helped me before."

"Okay." Harry could only nod. This was just a suggestion. It was impossible for him to ask Uncle Moon for help. In his opinion, this was an overreaching move.

"Then if there is no problem with my wand by then, I can help you try to repair it." Harry said.

"Wand?" Hagrid was a little surprised: "What kind of wand do you have?"

"I want to make a wand myself." Harry explained: "That's why I want the Thestral's heartstrings."

"Oh!" Hagrid's heart skipped a beat: "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Harry nodded seriously.

"Then don't wait for your wand." Hagrid rubbed the spot that exploded in his palm: "Harry, just do it. To be honest...even if I don't mind that he often doesn't work well, but I am also very worried that one day he will be blown away by me so suddenly.

Why didn’t this happen in the umbrella before?”

"Umbrella rib. Another layer of staff? Maybe that's the reason." Harry explained: "Is it really possible?"

"Of course. If it really fails, just ask Ollivander to buy another one." Hagrid could only show a relieved smile.
