Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle

"Ah" Sirius gently shook his hands again.

I thought there would be an eager hug or something.

Harry looked at the Black Lake, thought for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"I don't have anything worth talking about. In the first ten years of my life, I just felt that life was very gloomy.

I was living with my aunt's family, you know, as a sudden presence.

I didn’t get a very good life.”

"What kind of life?!" Sirius felt something thick in Harry's tone.

Harry was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

“A person who subconsciously and morally needs to nurture me, but feels that he is spending his money and time on an ‘outsider’, scolds me in actions and words.

Well, that's probably what life is like.

Barely alive, barely alive! "

Sirius' face suddenly turned ugly, and he said: "It sounds like life in an orphanage in our time. Only the minimum living needs are maintained, and the rest."

"I don't know." Harry smiled, and then seemed to comfort Sirius in turn.

"I don't think about it anymore, it's in the past. It's a contradictory thing, because even though it was a bad day.

But the good news is - I survived. "

This is not what a child needs from a family.

Unless he is completely disappointed with that so-called "home".

Sirius, for some reason of his own, understood Harry's thoughts deeply.

Perhaps, he also found some reasons why his godson is so mature.

"Why don't you come to my house!" Sirius simply invited.

"Although there has been no one for more than ten years, there is no problem if two people want to live there. There is always a house elf in charge of the affairs of the house!"

Harry shook his head helplessly: "Principal Dumbledore said that for some special reasons, I will continue to stay in that place every holiday before I become an adult."

"What the principal said?!"

Harry nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, a somewhat disappointing answer!" Sirius curled his lips and said.

"But life there is not that bad now. I only stay with them when I go to bed at night." Harry explained.

"I am now Mr. Jones's magic apprentice, and he lives diagonally across from my aunt's house.

So what I'm saying is, life has changed. This is why I no longer dwell on the past! "

"etc?!"

Sirius stared at Harry;

"You mean, you are that kind of magic apprentice who is not a school, private, or ancient system?!"

"Yes!"

Well, Sirius found the source of it all.

Soon, June is here.

The dark cloud of Sirius's escape from prison has enveloped the magical world and even affected the world of ordinary people to a certain extent.

Now, on TV, there are wanted notices for him and the prison robbers.

He is said to be a vicious villain who carries a "pistol" with him.

But, it didn’t affect Hogwarts much!

There's no time to be afraid of escaped criminals, the big horror is coming - final exams! !

Unlike the little wizards who are worried about exams.

What professors are now worried about is——

"Moon, are you okay lately?!" Professor Flitwick poured hot tea for Muen.

Professor Sprout picked up the tea cup, but his eyes were always on Mu En, waiting for his answer.

Even Mag, who was usually unsmiling, was like this, staring at Mu En, waiting for him to speak.

"No." Mu En suddenly felt a little strange: "Why are you so concerned about this issue all of a sudden?"

Then, the door to the teachers' lounge suddenly opened.

The old man in white robe strode into it, startling several people.

"Albus, why are you here?" Professor McGonagall quickly looked at her: "The Ministry of Magic came to visit again?"

"Oh, no, Minerva, relax!" Dumbledore smiled: "I just haven't had a sip of hot tea in a long time."

As he spoke, he also jumped in and quickly entered the topic just now.

Dumbledore clapped his hands and said with a chuckle: "What Julius means is whether you can continue to be the professor of this course in the next school year."

"If you don't have a problem with it, I don't either."

Speaking of this, Mu En actually remembered this matter.

It seems that the so-called curse has never appeared on him.

Or does it mean that all the troubles caused by the curse were blocked by him? !

He doesn't know either.

"Anyway, judging from the current situation, I don't have any problems." Mu En took a sip of hot tea and said, "I haven't thought of what other problems could arise!"

"That's good!" Flitwick had a smile on his face.

Dumbledore also smiled: "Very good, then my first problem has now been solved!"

"There's a second one?!"

"Yes, yes." Dumbledore added another piece of sugar to the teacup. This seemed to be the fourth piece of sugar.

"About the professor of our Care of Magical Creatures class next term." Dumbledore nodded.

"Oh, that's true." Professor McGonagall nodded: "Kelbourne decided to continue chasing the dragon in the remaining days, what an amazing courage!"

"Yes." Dumbledore nodded in agreement: "When a person is old and has looked past many things, he resolutely re-enters the path that he always wanted to follow when he was young.

This is worthy of admiration. "

"The only question now is - who will take this job next year?!"

Because of the First Wizarding War, the current magical world is somewhat out of date.

Dumbledore has been thinking about it for a long time recently, but has never found a particularly good candidate.

"Newt?" Moon said a name.

Dumbledore looked at him helplessly: "It's impossible for Newt to be a teacher. It's entirely possible for him to pursue some new magical animals at his age. But if you let him be a teacher, it's a bit weird. It’s a night story.”

"Ah, that's true." Mu En laughed dumbly, remembering Newt's behavior when she saw him before.

Although I have become much more calm, the awkward feeling when facing strangers is still there.

Not to mention his age, even if he were to become a teacher at his most vigorous age, he would probably end up being fooled by those little wizards.

As he spoke, Dumbledore looked at the other professors as if asking for advice.

"What I'm thinking is - Hagrid! But I'm still a little undecided."

this.

Several professors looked at each other and were a little undecided.

Mag and Sprout looked at each other and seemed to agree that there was nothing wrong with this idea.

First of all, they can be sure that Hagrid is a kind-hearted person who loves small animals.

In addition, Hagrid's knowledge of magical animals is not inferior to the so-called professional practitioners who have published books or participated in magical animal-related work.

And they have watched Hagrid grow up, this big kid, they can rest assured!

"Oh." Professor Flitwick felt that the chair he was sitting in today was a little uncomfortable for some reason.

"Severus is not here. I think it would be better to consult his opinion on this."

The tea cup that Mu En brought to her mouth shook, and she couldn't help laughing.

The clear meaning of this statement is: There are some things that I am not comfortable saying, but that guy will definitely say them casually when he comes.

After taking a sip of tea, Mu En put down the tea cup and sighed.

"I don't suggest it!"

"Dumbledore, your actions will only hurt Hagrid."

Dumbledore smiled and said nothing at the words that diverted the conflict. He just looked at Mu En calmly, waiting for him to continue.

"First of all, I have to say that I am tough, and even in some teachings, I use some violence." Mu En said.

"There's nothing wrong with Defense Against the Dark Arts!" Professor McGonagall nodded.

"Mu En, don't say that. Whether it's feedback on the children's performance or feedback on words and deeds, you have done a great job!" Sprout also said.

"Thank you, Minerva, Pomona." Mu En nodded slightly and smiled.

“I mean, Hagrid is violent too but unfortunately, he doesn’t know that.

And his course doesn’t require any tough tactics! "Mo En explained.

“Remember what Hagrid said about those cute ‘little guys’ look like?!

I'm not blaming Hagrid. What I mean is that he has some irreconcilable conflicts with young wizards and even normal wizards in their underlying logic of thinking about magical animals!

So Dumbledore, if Hagrid really takes on this responsibility.

Whether it's the little wizards or himself. They will all be harmed by the conflicts caused by this contradiction. "

Dumbledore was silent for a moment.

Then I suddenly discovered that there was something wrong with my focus.

At first, he only thought of Hagrid, his old friend who had been the guardian of the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts for most of his life.

Now he has been cleared of his grievances and regained his social identity.

So is it possible to give him a promotion?

This kind big guy deserves it.

This is Dumbledore's deepest true thought.

But when Moon said this, Dumbledore also realized that he had indeed overlooked something.

That's the thing. Judging from Hagrid's personality, he may really not be able to do it well.

"It seems this is a wrong idea." Dumbledore raised his brows and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"You wouldn't tell Hagrid that I had such a stupid idea, would you?"

"He may be disappointed," said Dumbledore.

He took the initiative to put the conflict on himself.

Mu En didn't care, he had tried to be as non-sharp as possible, but that was the fact.

If Hagrid became a teacher, both he and the children would be hurt.

Absolutely unavoidable!

That is the contradiction caused by the different underlying logic of viewing magical creatures deep inside.

Several other professors smiled. They were indeed convinced by Mu En's words. In addition, they were all dozens of years old, so they really would not have heard these words in Hagrid's ears.

He will be sad.

"What a troublesome choice." Dumbledore felt a little tricky.

Why is it so troublesome to find a teacher?

However, soon, he might have a more reasonable choice.

Another old friend showed up on his own initiative!

On the last day of the final exam, in the afternoon, Harry easily performed an almost perfect transformation and walked out of the exam classroom with the teachers' accustomed expressions.

Then, Ron came over.

"Harry, Professor Jones wants you to go to the fifth floor!"

"Fifth floor?!" Harry was a little confused,

Then Harry nodded and walked quickly upstairs: "Thanks, Ron."

Sirius has not left during this period and has been staying at Hogwarts. According to the other party, he wanted to see the so-called duel competition and witness the grace of his godson, the second-year gold belt.

This statement made Harry feel very shy and embarrassed at the time.

Soon, he came to the room on the fifth floor of the west tower.

The first thing was the atmosphere. It didn't seem like there was any big problem, which made him relieved.

In fact, Sirius looked very happy.

Then Harry noticed that there was an additional figure in the room.

The stranger wore an extremely worn wizard's robe, patched in several places. He looked sick and tired. He still looked young, but his light brown hair was already mixed with white hair.

However, at this time, the other party was wearing a strange smile that involved facial muscles.

It was a kind of radiant look that had not appeared on this tired face for a long time!

"Harry, that's amazing!" The man came over.

"You are so tall, you already look like a strong big boy!"

Afterwards, Harry recognized it for a while and suddenly realized it.

"Mr. Lupin?!"

Lupine took a deep breath, then nodded and smiled: "I'm glad you still know me!"

"Sirius often tells me about you." Harry smiled.

"Listen, my friend! It's going to take a lot of effort for this boy to remove these polite words from you." Sirius put his hand on Lupin's shoulder.

"It doesn't matter!" Lu Ping smiled nonchalantly: "There is enough good news today!"

"Where did you come from?" Harry hoped to get over the subject quickly.

"I come from some not-so-good places. Sirius said you already knew some of my personal little secrets! So, you know, life as a werewolf isn't that easy!"

"Oh, okay." Harry nodded and asked no more questions.

"Then how did you get here?"

"Very good question, I'm explaining it to Mr. Jones." Lu Ping nodded slightly and smiled at Mu En.

"If it wasn't about Sirius, maybe I would hide it." Lupine said, "By the way, Harry. Do you know what people say outside now?"

Harry shook his head.

"There are rumors outside that Sirius has escaped from prison. You are now in very danger. Both the people and the media have said that after Sirius comes out, the first person to be dealt with is you!

And I happened to know the news. So. I contacted Professor Dumbledore to see if there was anything I could do to help.

So now, I know the truth and stand here, in front of you! "

"I must thank the rumor." Sirius punched Lupine lightly on the shoulder.

"He made you, a guy who disappeared, finally be willing to show up!"
