Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle

Chapter 93 Prove to me - your courage

Until his exams, Harry spent the rest of his Hogwarts career in the wards.

His deeds have long since gone quiet, and the attention of the young wizards has shifted quickly. Quidditch matches, final exams and other things are constantly dividing everyone's attention.

And the exam didn't worry Harry too much. In addition to not guaranteeing that he would get full marks in the written test, he was confident that he had obtained the approval of all the teachers in the practical part.

For some reason, Harry didn't even feel that Snape was targeting him anymore.

When he finally checked the sample of the Forgetting Potion handed over by Harry, he sneered in a low voice: "It seems that stupid move didn't cost you too much, but I still hope you can remember the lesson!"

Can this be understood as a reverse concern?

Harry was also a little confused.

As for the magic spell that makes pineapples tap dance, and the transfiguration spell that turns mice into snuff boxes, that's even simpler.

But not all subjects he was confident about.

For example - Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

After taking the final History of Magic exam, the first-grade wizards came to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

"Draco, do you know what the test questions are?" Crabbe said nervously.

Their first-year students were the last to take the test, but I don’t know what method Professor Jones used to prevent everyone who had passed the test from revealing the test questions.

It is said that 99% of people cannot pass the test.

"How do I know!" Draco glanced at him angrily, then looked at Harry: "Harry, do you know what the test questions are?"

"I don't know either." Harry shook his head helplessly.

As they were thinking, the classroom door in front of them suddenly opened, and they saw that the classroom had been cleaned, and all the tables, chairs and benches had disappeared.

"Come in." Mu En sat at the end and looked at the people outside the door. Dozens of people from the entire grade had gathered together.

Mu En took out the roster, called the names, and looked at the people below who were murmuring nervously.

"What is the purpose of learning Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Mu En asked.

Hermione raised her hand as expected.

"Miss Granger." Moon nodded.

"Defense Against the Dark Arts is designed to help wizards learn the correct way to defend themselves when encountering dark creatures, including the likes and dislikes of different dark creatures, and special spells!"

"A passage from the preface of "Dark Powers: A Guide to Self-Defense" is admirable. Three points for Gryffindor." Moon praised.

The standard answer as always...but that's enough!

"Yes, self-defense! Learning defensive skills is naturally used to protect yourself, family and friends." Mu En said slowly.

“But talking on paper means nothing.

I want to ask how many of you have ever stood up to protect yourself or your family. How many people have truly stood up to threats? "

As he spoke, he looked around at the little wizards below.

Harry was the first to raise his hand, with a clear conscience. After him, several more children raised their hands one after another.

"Then the rest..."

"I have never encountered any threatening situation." Draco said nonchalantly: "No one dares to mess with me!"

Harry glanced at him in surprise...

Draco's words immediately attracted a group of young wizards to imitate him.

"Of course, I haven't encountered it before, otherwise I would definitely come forward."

"It's just that I didn't get a chance to show off."

"Oh, of course!" Mu En nodded in agreement, and then said lightly.

"Maybe~ maybe~"

? ?

Suddenly, the entire group of young wizards became restless. What do you mean, do you look down on us? !

Mu En took out a small wand in his hand and pointed it at the ground.

"Prove it to me." The next moment, a huge abyss opened in the entire classroom, spanning between the little wizard and Mu En.

The children stepped back one after another, while Mu En stood motionless, and the distance between them gradually widened to several meters.

Draco stepped on the edge of the abyss, and a stone fell down. The abyss was pitch black, like a big mouth that chose people to eat.

"Prove me your courage!" Mu En said with a smile as she stood on the side of the abyss and looked at them.

"What on earth...is this?!" Neville grabbed Seamus' sleeve and kept pushing towards the crowd, as if this would give him a sense of security.

"These are all illusions." Mu En's voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Fake... fake?" Ron grabbed the edge and tentatively put his feet out, but they didn't touch the floor at all.

"This is true!" He muttered one after another and squeezed into the crowd.

"If you think it is true, then you will naturally fall." Mu En said calmly.

"Come to my side and prove your courage! That's the content of this exam.

By the way, a reminder! The first one to come over will get an additional twenty points from the academy. "

However, no one was tempted by such a huge temptation. They looked at Mu En on the other side of the abyss with pale faces.

"Courage... Then don't you have to find Gryffindor?!" someone in the Slytherin crowd said.

Harry turned around and saw that the person who said this was Field, who had had conflicts with him before.

At this time, he had already pressed against the wall and said in a stern tone: "It's none of my business. This kind of exam is too ridiculous."

"that is!"

"Go find Gryffindor!"

The children at Hogwarts were never nice, but Moon didn't care. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Harry turn around.

Before, he had never retreated towards the rear, but simply stood on the edge of the abyss.

"enough!"

Harry looked up at Field and the clamoring Slytherins with cold eyes.

"What does it mean to be brave and have to go to Gryffindor?! Could it be that because you were sorted into Slytherin, you became a softie?!"

He looked around at the people around him: "Or maybe, because you are not Gryffindor, you have become a coward without courage?!"

"It sounds so nice, go ahead!" A Hufflepuff said while huddled in the crowd.

Harry glanced at him. At this time, the man's face turned pale, and he could be seen cowering in fear.

However, Harry had no intention of arguing.

He turned around and looked at Mu En on the opposite side.

Then, stride forward! Step into the abyss!

"Ah!!" A little witch screamed and covered her eyes.

However, Harry did not fall down. He looked straight ahead without any timidity.

At the same time, the wind blowing upward from the abyss made the hem of his clothes rustle.

Yet he walked as if walking on flat ground, as if he were walking high in the sky.

He finished it in one go until he stood next to Mu En.

When he turned around again, he was suddenly stunned.

There is no abyss, no strong wind coming from below.

Some are just empty, flat masonry floors.

That's all.

"Good job." Mu En nodded.

Unexpectedly, Harry shook his head and said seriously: "No...it's not that powerful actually.

I just trust your words enough, Uncle Mu En. It’s actually understandable that they can’t do it.

I just don’t like guys who put their own group in a low position and still feel complacent about it! "

Mu En nodded: "It seems that someone is following you."

But on the opposite side, Draco looked at Harry, who had passed through the abyss, with a serious look on his face.

Then, he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, walked forward quickly, and stepped heavily into the abyss!

No...no falling!

Although his feet hurt from the heavy tread, he still turned his head and sneered: "I am not a waste, and neither is Slytherin. Of course, some people may be!

Courage never belongs to a certain college or a certain person.

Courage belongs to all wizards! ! "

After saying that, Draco turned around and stepped forward!

Then he suddenly discovered that just as he was turning around to be cool and saying his lines, Gryffindor's Hermione Granger had already passed him and was about to reach the other side!

…

After there were more successful precedents, people began to try to cross the abyss one after another.

Some people reached halfway and simply couldn't bear the pressure, their minds collapsed and they fell into the abyss.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was simply standing in the classroom.

It was not until more than ten minutes later that even Slytherin and Hufflepuff, who were most disgusted at first, tried to break through the abyss, and the first assessment came to an end.

"It's over! I only walked halfway and fell out. I will definitely fail."

Neville's face turned red and he seemed very sad.

Mu En clapped her hands.

"Gentlemen and ladies, look at me! Look at me!"

Mu En focused all eyes on herself, and then spoke slowly.

"First of all, Potter was the first person to complete the test, and because of him, Slytherin got twenty points.

Then came the second one, Miss Granger from Gryffindor. For her bravery, Gryffindor received ten points. "

With that said, Mu En's eyes turned to Draco.

Draco looked at the pair of vertical pupils, feeling a little scared for some reason.

However, he didn't expect that hand to actually rest on his shoulder.

"Mr. Malfoy, your brave performance also earned Slytherin five points!"

"Twenty-five points?! Potter, Malfoy, great!!" Slytherin clapped.

After announcing the score, Mu En looked up at everyone.

"I think you don't need to wait for the results in seven days." Mu En looked at them.

“Everyone, everything is—O!!”

"What?!"

"Wait, did I hear you right?"

"Really?"

Mu En glanced at Neville, who was looking at him expectantly with a blushing face, and then slowly nodded under the gazes of the young wizards.

"Dare to take the first step, which is enough to prove your courage." Mu En said.

Then, he walked out of the classroom amidst the cheers of the little wizards.

Harry also breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about before was the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam, and now he finally passed it.

Suddenly, he was patted twice on the back. When he turned around, he saw that it was a Slytherin classmate.

"Well done, Harry!" he said over Harry.

"I think what you said is correct." Another person patted his shoulder and walked past.

"Potter, you are brave enough to walk over first."

He looked like there were several Slytherin people passing by, but he didn't expect that almost all of them greeted him.

No matter how bad it is, he will smile and nod.

Harry looked at Hermione in confusion, only to see Hermione shaking her head and pouting.

I do not know either…
