Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle

Two days later, Hogwarts.

In the principal's office.

"Somehow Rita Skeeter had gotten the message and started voicing her doubts in the newspapers.

The Deputy Minister was cursed at his place of work during working hours, and the entire Ministry of Magic was helpless.

If this matter cannot be resolved, it will become a scandal for the entire Ministry of Magic. "

A slightly obese man wearing a gray and black pinstriped suit, a bright red tie, and a long black cloak spoke in a somewhat hurried manner.

He was sitting across from the desk, with a green top hat on his knees.

On his face, there was disguised sadness, as if he was truly worried about this matter from the perspective of the Ministry of Magic and even the entire magical world.

"I searched all over the Wizengamot wizards, but they couldn't do anything about the curse on her. So, the first person who came to my mind was you, Albus.

If anyone can help the Ministry of Magic at this time, help me, the Minister of Magic, I think only you can do it. "

As he spoke, his brown eyes covered with fat on his face followed the figure behind the desk who was wearing a complicated gray robe and a light blue hat.

"I'm curious, why didn't you come to me first before you went to find others?" Dumbledore's fingers were slightly arched, and he gently combed Fox's forehead.

He spoke slowly and in a low pitch, as if he was mumbling to himself or talking to Fox.

"Albus, I know, you are very busy. School, the Wizengamot, the Knights of Merlin, there are so many things waiting for you," Fudge said.

"Yes, there is also an investigation by the Ministry of Magical Education." Dumbledore said, and then he raised his head and looked at Fudge, making eye contact with him for a moment.

Fudge quickly looked away, unable to meet the blue gaze.

"I can't remember the last time you came to me alone to talk about something. Anyway, it seems to have been a few years ago, before you were elected minister."

"I'm very busy." Fudge said quickly, coughing slightly: "The Ministry of Magic has a lot of work."

"Yes, you are now a minister, in charge of all affairs in the UK."

"Yes." Fudge nodded in agreement, with a smile on his face.

"Umbridge is an indispensable part of the British Ministry of Magic. If she cannot come back, it will be the biggest loss to the entire British wizarding community!

As long as you can help her lift the curse, Albus, I can guarantee... guarantee..."

Dumbledore looked at him without saying a word, waiting for his next words.

Since Fudge came to power, he quickly distanced himself from Dumbledore, as if to prove his superior ability and never used Dumbledore to gain power.

However, the laws he promulgated to amend were always limited to the protection of wizards, restrictions on Muggle items and other routine matters, but did not touch upon the fundamental categories.

Or he recommends various "entertainment talents" to obtain the third-level medal of the Knights of Merlin, frequently travels on the international stage and is reported by the Daily Prophet, which shows that under his leadership, the magic world is prosperous.

But none of this... Dumbledore cared.

He just wanted to do what he should do. He had never wanted to get involved in the Ministry of Magic, but Fudge was alienating him and seemed to regard him as his enemy.

In fact, judging from his performance some time ago, it seems that he is looking forward to using the law to get involved in Hogwarts affairs.

Thinking about it, Dumbledore shook his head: "Cornelly, why don't you dare to make a promise? Even...don't you even have the guts to give me a hypocritical and broad guarantee that is good for Hogwarts?"

With that said, Dumbledore crossed the table, and Fudge stood up, his eyes following his figure.

"Fortunately, you are not stupid enough to say that you want to give me money."

Connelly was sweating a little on his forehead. He just... really wanted to give him money. He just needed to embezzle some money from the Ministry of Magic. It was for the sake of Deputy Minister Umbridge and the reputation of the Ministry of Magic.

Umbridge is an excellent person, and for him, he is an excellent tool that is hard to find.

He didn't want to lose her.

"I thought if you would send me some sweets this Christmas." Dumbledore walked to his side and glanced at him.

"I think you should remember how to fill in the address."

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Headmaster's Office…

"Yes, of course I remember...Dumbledore."

Dumbledore nodded and glanced out the window. A snow-white owl was flying towards this side.

"Okay, I'll go take a look when I have time." Dumbledore said, sending Fudge into the fireplace.

Fudge put on a hat that didn't fit at all, nodded and said, "Looking forward to your arrival."

After Fudge left, Dumbledore relaxed a little and walked towards the window. On the wall, Everard's portrait looked gloomy: "The Ministry of Magic is so rotten now, can such a person be the minister?!

Fortunately, I asked craftsmen to carve "Magic is Power" and placed it at the entrance of the Ministry of Magic. They probably all thought that this was the wizard showing authority, and thus forgot about their own motivation and vigilance! ! "

Dumbledore took the letter from Hedwig, opened it and read it carefully, then frowned.

Nagini…

He was a little unfamiliar with this name, but soon he found it from his vast memory.

That was forty years ago.

She's not dead yet...

Even met Mu En and the others.

Thinking about it, Dumbledore put his hands on the window eaves and looked at the white clouds passing by the sky. His eyes turned aimlessly, and finally his sight fell on Hogsmeade.

A moment later, Dumbledore was strolling through the streets of Hogsmeade. Soon we arrived at the door of a tavern.

The tattered wooden sign hung on a rusty bracket on the door. A severed boar's head hung directly above the sign, and blood stains penetrated the white cloth wrapping it.

As you get closer, you can hear the wind making the towering shop sign creak, and people passing by are afraid that it will smash down in the next second.

If the Leaky Cauldron is a slovenly old man, then the Hog's Head should be a rotten old dwarf.

There was only a small, dark, and very dirty room here, which also exuded a strong smell of mutton. The bay windows were covered with thick dirt, barely letting in any light, and some candle stubs were burning on the rough wooden tables.

On the ground, which was originally paved with stones, there were centuries of dirt accumulated.

Dumbledore's appearance made the whole bar quiet for a moment, as if his entry had emptied the air here.

He walked slowly to the bar. In front of the bar, a tall and thin old man with a lot of long gray hair and a beard was wiping the cup with a rag that seemed to have never been washed.

"What do you want to drink?" He didn't even look up.

"Nagini, do you remember this name?"

The old man's hand paused for a moment, then turned around and placed the cup, which had not been cleaned at all, on the cabinet.

"Someone found her, a big snake," Dumbledore said.

"What does it have to do with me?" He snorted and asked again: "What do you want to drink?"

"It really has nothing to do with you, but I think Aurelius..."

His words ended abruptly.

The old man standing across the bar, Aberforth, his younger brother, fell into silence.

Decades later, his brother suddenly came over, and his mouth was Nagini... He didn't believe that the other party would lie, and today was not April Fool's Day.

The next day, Moonlight Castle.

There was a knock on the door and the door slowly opened. Mu En looked out the door in surprise.

I saw two old men with very similar looks standing outside the door.

Tsk…

"Did I pass out?!" Moon murmured to himself, and Harry, who was communicating with Nagini, also turned to look, wondering if he was dazzled.

But soon, he saw the difference between the two.

The bridge of Dumbledore's nose was a little crooked, and his expression was much softer. The other one was obviously more stern. The robe he wore was also very new and he obviously rarely wore it. The look on his face was mixed with impatience.

At the same time, there was a big fiery red bird standing on Dumbledore's shoulder.

Obviously, they brought Fox here in such a clear way, and they probably used magic to cover it up.

"I remember I invited Fox a year ago." Mu En stood up and said, "Come in."

Lucifer carefully opened his eyes a crack. He didn't know if the person coming this time was a pervert, and then he saw Fox.

His whole body rose up, and the two big eyes on the flame looked at each other.

Fox also noticed him and cast a surprised look.

Dumbledore also saw Lucifer, with some surprise in his eyes. Then he thought of Moon, and suddenly felt that this was normal...

"This is Aberforth Dumbledore. He is... familiar with Nagini."

Several people quickly focused on Nagini.

Aberforth looked at the large snake coiled in a circle on the table and quickly determined through the markings on its body that it was the girl.

He raised his hand slightly, and with the help of Harry's hiss, he gently stroked the other person's head.

He shook his head calmly: "Aurelius regretted not being able to apologize to her until he died. I didn't expect that she would be like this when we met again."

"Do you know each other?"

Moon stood behind Aberforth and cast a doubtful look at Dumbledore. At first, they simply wanted to ask about this guy's origins and see if they could dig out some of Voldemort's past.

"Nagini was a person from Grindelwald's era, and she fought with us against Grindelwald.

And Aurelius is my child. "Aberforth explained.

"Albus, is there still a chance? If possible, I would like to ask you." He said suddenly.

Dumbledore was a little surprised. Aberforth had never asked him for anything in decades.

"This is what Aurelius could not accomplish until his death." Aberforth said.

"I don't know, maybe it's worth trying."

Dumbledore couldn't say no, but he had never been deeply involved in this.

"She... is probably dead." Mu En hesitated for a moment, but decided to say it simply.

"As I expected, she may only have a trace of regret left."

Aberforth looked at the big snake lying on the stone table, his blue eyes glaring: "No matter what, I want to try it."

"Okay, whatever you want." Mu En nodded. He didn't hold out much hope. He turned around and suddenly found Fox standing by the fireplace.

Lucifer stretched out his little flaming hand and said in a very obscene manner: "Come in, come in and play."

…

It is simply a disgrace! !

He turned back to look at Nagini, not intending to disturb Lucifer.

After a while, Dumbledore took Fawkes away, under Lucifer's reluctant eyes.

However, Aberforth refused to leave with Dumbledore.

Mu En could tell that he still had something to say.

"I know you." After Dumbledore left, he immediately said: "Jones, lives in the Shrieking Shack, right."

Mu En sat on the sofa and nodded: "Are you in Hogsmeade too?"

"I run a bar there." As he said that, he quickly changed the subject: "I know you are a very powerful wizard, and I want to ask you for help.

I know very well that my brother is not good at this. Not to mention that this is a curse that has not been solved for centuries. "

Mu En looked at him, "I'm very curious as to why you have such a big obsession. Even... when you said the word please just now, I saw Dumbledore's face began to twitch."

Aberforth smelled like goat. Thinking about it, Mu En leaned on the sofa, a little farther away from him, and set up a small spell for his nasal cavity.

"Aurelius is my son," he said: "The Obscurus created by my mistake.

In short, it is difficult for me to express my guilt towards him in words. I just want to fulfill his last wish, something he would never forget even when he was about to die. "

"Is it related to Nagini?"

Aberforth nodded: "Nagini and he knew each other in Grindelwald's time, an Obscurus and a Blood Curse Orc. They used to stay together to keep each other warm, comfort each other, and love each other.

But because of the mistakes I made, Aurelius was deceived by Grindelwald.

In one incident, he turned against Grindelwald and abandoned Nagini.

This incident is something that has been on his mind since I took him home.

But by then, Nagini had disappeared from Hogwarts, and I traveled to every corner of the wizarding world. I want Aurelius to have the opportunity to apologize to her in person and talk to her.

But I couldn't find her until Aurelius died. After so many years, I had given up, but I didn't expect that in my twilight years, I would see her again. "

As he spoke, Aberforth gradually straightened up a little: "My child, the child who became the Obscurial because of my mistake.

His wish was to cure Nagini and apologize to her personally.

The latter may no longer be possible.

But the former, I hope to achieve in my lifetime. "

As he spoke, he looked at Mu En.

"I once witnessed you annihilate a broken soul in Hogwarts with overwhelming force in Hogsmeade.

I also heard from the drinkers about your terrifying spells that destroyed everything in Knockturn Alley.

I knew how difficult the curse of the blood-cursed orcs was, but when I saw Nagini in front of me, I really couldn't say the word "give up."

If possible, I hope you can provide some help on this matter. In this regard, even a centenarian like me would have no complaints if I had to spend the rest of my life. "

Mu En looked at the old man with white hair and beard who solemnly made a promise in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Aberforth is so much better than his brother!
