Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle

Two weeks later, Harry and Luna came to Moon's office with the first complete spell manuscript.

The manuscript this time was well organized and was a full thirteen-inch long parchment roll. Generally, articles of this length were only seen in the homework assignments assigned by Professor McGonagall.

"So, you found the core problem of the instability of the magic spell that day?" Mu En asked in a low voice while looking at the article handed over by the two people.

"Yes." Harry nodded quickly.

Luna just hummed softly, as if she was in a daze.

Or maybe not just 'like'.

"Um"

A naive and to the point idea.

If it were within the magic system of this world, it wouldn't be so out of the ordinary.

After all, children who are not bound by rigid dogma will have an easier time getting to the essence of things.

Mu En looked at the modified spell carefully. Some of the pronunciation of the spell and the details of the wand waving were slightly changed from the original.

This, involving theory, is what consumes most of your time.

After all, it is useless to only see the direction of change and speculate on the contradictions.

Put it down on paper.

"Not bad." Mu En nodded, and then pushed the homework back from the table under the expectant gazes of the two people.

"But it's still not good enough."

"I did say that you should treat the spell as if you were singing. But your treatment of the spell and the trajectory of the wand is like a third-rate singer adding tricks and transpositions to a good song that have no effect except to make the song better. People think it has no effect other than being noisy to the ears. When used as a spell, it has no benefit except increasing the difficulty of learning and affecting the effectiveness of the spell itself. "

At the same time, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in." Mu En knocked on the table.

Then, the door was suddenly pushed open, as if the people outside the door were impatient.

"Mr. Jones!" Hermione's voice sounded anxiously.

Then she opened the door and looked at the two people sitting in the office in surprise.

Eh?

"Harry?" she whispered.

It's normal for Harry to appear here, but why would he appear here with this famous crazy girl?

"Miss Granger, please take a seat." Moon raised her hand, and the twisted stone roots on the floor clung upwards, and soon formed the shape of a chair.

Then, click——

Just like a fruit breaking away from its branches, it suddenly turned into an independent chair.

"Ah, Hermione, good morning," Harry greeted.

"Good morning." Hermione nodded, sat down next to Harry, looked at the huge manuscript that Moon put on the table, and suddenly understood.

"So, what you are doing is research on that curse?"

As she said that, she started brainstorming, but the more she recalled, the more blurred the memory in her mind became?

"What spell?" Harry looked at Hermione in surprise.

The Vulcan Curse that he and Luna were completing had not been told to Hermione.

"I can't remember the fire spell or anything like that," Hermione said hesitantly.

"Miss Granger." Moon's knock on the table pulled Hermione out of her thoughts.

Then, Moon looked at Harry and Luna.

"You guys go out first."

"Okay, Professor." Harry and Luna nodded, and then Luna focused her eyes on Hermione.

"You've seen a lot of things, haven't you."

"Miss Lovegood." Moon smiled and interrupted her words.

Luna smiled sheepishly and walked out of the office with Harry.

In the corridor, Harry looked at Luna in confusion: "What do you mean by what you just said?"

"I don't know either." Luna shook her head.

"I just feel that there is something strange about Miss Granger, as if she has been washed away by something."

What Luna said was as incomprehensible as ever.

But Harry was used to it.

"Forget it, let's start modifying this curse, otherwise we will be late." Harry said.

The next revision path requires a lot of theoretical knowledge. For these two children, the work is not easy.

An accident is always going to happen, so I need to go to the infirmary.

"By the way, now that Hermione knows, do you want to ask her for advice?" Harry looked at Luna.

"Yes, of course." Luna nodded.

"Okay, let's go to the library and wait for her." Harry said.

Then, the two came

In the library.

A familiar figure was caught by Harry.

Hermione had messy long brown hair and some droopy eye bags. She looked listless, but she was concentrating on her book.

Harry walked forward, patted her shoulder, and whispered: "Hermione, when did you come up?"

"Huh?" Hermione was frightened by Harry's palm, and then turned around.

"Oh, good morning, Harry," she said. "Why can't you come up?"

"She's confused," Luna said quietly.

Harry nodded slightly. Even without Luna's strange seventh sense, Hermione could be seen confused just by looking at her face.

"It seems you've forgotten something again, haven't you?" Harry asked.

This isn't the first time this has happened.

Hermione behaved like this every time, saying 'Ah, um... yes, that's it'. ’

Anyway, they used similar prevarication techniques to push back Harry's questions.

He really doesn't know anything.

"It's okay, we are here about a curse." Harry said instead.

At the same time, in the office.

"You saw the [Vulcan Curse] completed by Harry and Luna at the exhibition, right?" Moon said straight to the point.

"Exhibition?" Hermione tilted her head.

"I know you have a time turner." Mu En looked helplessly at the little witch pretending to be stupid.

After hearing his words, the little witch lowered her head in embarrassment and bit her tongue in embarrassment: "Um, okay, Professor. I didn't mean to lie to you. I didn't know."

"No, it's a trivial matter. Professor McGonagall asked you not to let others know about this matter, and you have kept this promise very well." Mu En nodded.

After hearing Mu En's words, Hermione raised her head again, and then wondered: "Professor, why did I feel so confused just now?"

"Because you want to tell Harry about the curse, right." Moon said.

"In a world with a single line of time, knowledge cannot be created out of thin air."

"Single-line time. Generated out of thin air?" Hermione frowned, obviously not understanding what Mu En said.

"It's very simple. Let's give an example." Mu En smiled, sat upright again, and took out a book.

"Okay, let's assume now that this book is a forbidden, brand-new curse."

"Okay." Hermione nodded again.

"So I got this book a year ago." Mu En continued: "I got it from a [mysterious man]."

Hermione nodded repeatedly.

"Then, now, I travel through time and go back to a year ago. Through a series of mistakes and accidents, I handed this book to me a year ago.

In other words, the person I am now is the [mysterious man] I was a year ago. "

"Yeah." Hermione continued to nod, after all, it wasn't too difficult to understand.

Afterwards, Mu En put the book on the table.

"Then Miss Granger. Please tell me, where did this book come from and where will it go?"

Suddenly, Hermione's body froze in place.

Where did this book, which is constantly being passed around in one year, come from, and where will it go?

She wanted to answer that the book would gradually wear out over countless years until it could no longer be read.

Okay, this answer is too stupid.

After a moment, the little witch shook her head helplessly.

"Professor, I don't know."

"It's okay if you don't know." Mu En smiled: "I don't know either, no one knows, because this kind of thing can't happen."

"It can't happen?" Hermione looked at Mu En in confusion.

"Yes, didn't you just experience it once?" Mu En smiled: "When you wanted to express your knowledge about the Vulcan Curse you saw at the exhibition, your memory began to blur.

Because the world does not allow you to pass on the knowledge at the exhibition to them. Because such behavior is obliterating the [origin] of this curse.

This is the world rule of single-line time logic. "

"World rules?"

"Yes." Mu En took a sip of tea: "Every world has its own temper, which is the so-called operating logic. It has both internal logic and external logic."

"The world still has a temper?" Hermione looked at Mu En in surprise. She only felt that she was absorbing some extremely advanced knowledge.

"Of course, you don't have to think about the concept of [world] as being so unfathomable. In fact, the world is just a collection of complex rules, but they all have their own convergence.

It's like every star is spherical under the influence of gravity, but there are differences in subtleties.

Some worlds have a single-line time logic, such as the world we live in now.

Some worlds have multi-line time logic. This [multi-line] means that if you change the past, a new parallel world will be created. Then forming a unified world composed of many parallel worlds overlapping each other.

The magic of some worlds is about "heart", such as our current world.

In some worlds, magic only relies on [reason], but this one is not the same, there are too many.

There are worlds without magic, not at all.

Some worlds resist the entry of planeswalkers.

In some worlds, after you enter, if you cannot [recognize your true heart], you will be cursed to turn into the shape of an animal, for example, into a pig head."

"Huh?" Hermione looked at Moon in disbelief.

"Is there such a world?"

Turning into a pig head. This is too much like a fairy tale. Although it is a punishment curse, it lacks the so-called cruelty.

Mu En touched his head and said with a smile: "Well, do you think such a world does not exist?"

"I don't know." Hermione shook her head seriously.

"I don't know either." Mu En smiled and nodded: "I'm just talking about some weird knowledge recorded in ancient books.

But, this so-called [single-line time logic world] is real. "

"Yeah." Hermione nodded repeatedly, her mind still immersed in the magnificent and wonderful world concepts that Moon just mentioned.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic. Why are you here so anxiously?" Mu En leaned on the sofa again.

Hermione looked around nervously, then whispered.

"Professor. Painting." She whispered: "Miss Sindel in the painting is strange.

At the exhibition, she had some dealings with a strange person, like a mysterious person."

"What happened to her?" Muen looked a little serious.

"She led the way for the mysterious person." Hermione said.

"Are you sure?" Muen looked at Hermione.

"Yeah." The little witch nodded seriously: "I'm sure."

"Okay." Muen nodded: "Thank you for your information. It is my and Dumbledore's intention to have Voldemort appear at the future exhibition, so you don't have to panic too much.

I don't know what happened in the future. After all, accidents always exist.

However, remember to protect yourself. In addition, please don't pass on this news at this time.

We don't want to see such a thing happen. From some logic of time travel, it is not recommended that you do this.

Otherwise, it will make the world unhappy. Remember what we just said? The little temper of the world."

"Okay, professor." Hermione nodded repeatedly.

"Well." Mu En stood up: "If there is nothing, you can go back first. We will do our best to ensure the safety of the entire venue later, but I still have to remind you - protect yourself." "Okay." Hermione nodded and stood up. "Professor. Aren't you curious about what happened in the future?" "Not curious." Mu En smiled. It seems that this little witch still does not fully understand the operating logic of the 'single-line time world'. "Go." "Then professor, I will go back first." After getting Mu En's answer, Hermione had to nod and say goodbye and left the office. Soon, there was only Mu En in the entire office. Of course, there was also a non-human. "So, what do you think of Granger's words." Lucifer asked. "I don't watch, I listen with my ears." Mu En smiled. "This joke is not funny, Cathead. It's like a low-level cold joke." Lucifer curled his lips: "Forget it, whatever you want." "Don't worry." Mu En waved his hand casually, and then looked out the window. "Oh, by the way, is there another thing today? Tell everyone in Hogsmeade that the exhibition hall is being built on the mountain."

"Well, you asked Lupin and many little wizards to notify them a few days ago. I think everyone in Hogsmeade knows that the construction of the venue will start today."

"Then let's get started."

At the same time, Hermione, who came fifteen days later, leaned on the corridor, looking at the mountains and rivers outside the window through the towering windows.

In the near future, there will be a huge building shaped like a pointed wizard hat.

And the mysterious man will appear in the crowd of people in the building.

Brewing his own terrifying plan.

The little witch didn't know what would happen in the future.

Will something more terrifying happen? Will someone die? Will blood and fire burn?

She didn't know, but. She didn't want to see that scene appear.

This is also why she came to the conversion limit time of the time converter in one breath - fifteen days ago.

She didn't want to see that scene appear.

But it seems that Professor Jones didn't attach much importance to his information.

Hermione could sense that she was not stupid.

What to do?

The little witch climbed on the window and looked at the other side of the mountain.

Suddenly, a streak of light appeared in her field of vision.

The next moment, the mountain in front of him suddenly exploded, like an earthquake.

Huge rubble was blown up, the smoke and dust dissipated, and the top of the mountain was flattened.

The rubble filled the depression, and in the dance of the rubble, in the horrified gaze of everyone.

A solid foundation was quickly formed.

In the office, Mu En retracted his wand, wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Oh, I'm so tired, I'm too lazy to move, let's stop here for today's work."

"I've worked so hard for myself."

"Let's go fishing in the Black Lake."
