The Mysterious Return of Hogwarts

Chapter 41 The Caught Insect

In Neo's eyes, the magical world in 1991 was decadent, developing slowly, not encouraging progress, and being old and hindering new life.

This was inconsistent with the magical world he expected.

"I hope to see magic transform the world, distort time, and elevate the individual lives of wizards to the realm of gods!"

Neo finished writing today's notes. He had other plans in the afternoon. The Weasley twins made an appointment with him to make wands for their brother Ron today.

This will be a useful exercise in wand study, and the mysteries of wands will be better deciphered from the delicate magical touch of a true minor wizard.

He did not say hello to Lucius and Quirrell, but returned directly to the Slytherin cabin through the fireplace.

"Fizz..."

Nagini's voice sounded from under the floor, and Neo was stunned. An insect with malicious intentions flew into the house?

Nagini has been working as a caretaker for decades. She is as familiar with the land under the house as she is with the markings on her body, so she can easily spot any trouble.

A beetle sneaked into Neo's bedroom while its owner was away and stayed there all night. It must have found something of interest, and then it must have been tortured by its curiosity.

Standing in front of his desk, he looked at a book of dark magic that was half-read by Quirrell. A black beetle was stuck on the open page. If he looked carefully, he could see that the poor guy was being bitten a little bit. Pulled into the book.

"Look, it's really an ugly bug. The shell is not shiny enough and the membrane wings are weak..."

Neo stretched out two fingers and picked Rita Kist off the page. She shouldn't have stared at the notes in this dark magic book for too long. The person who wrote these words was named Tom Riddle. .

"Dementor!"

Neo looks at Rita Kist's memories.

This little reporter has been having bad luck recently. After she finished her interview with Neo, she thought she had caught the big news, and she could be considered as conscientiously concocting a few attention-grabbing articles. However, the matter of Peter Pettigrew was not so good. It was too sudden, and it suddenly overshadowed myself.

"I have to find something more amazing!"

Out of a witch's intuition, after her last visit to the Slytherin cabin, she felt that this ancient family must have more secrets to dig out. No real evidence was needed, just a little bit of speculation was enough. She thought so, and even hoped that Some secrets between the Big Four of Hogwarts can be found in Neo's bedroom...

So she found an ancient book with a bookmark on the table where Neo usually stayed. She couldn't help but feel happy. Although she was an illegal Animagus, she had also used it to steal some wizards. mansion, but how can they compare with a pure-blood family with a long history like Slytherin...

Shamelessness and greed are Rita Kist's virtues, folly being only their trivial accompaniments.

Especially when she saw the signature of 'Voldemort' interspersed between the lines of the classics, this foolish reporter thought she had discovered some big secret.

"In only 11 years, so many fools have forgotten what is attached to the name Voldemort!"

Of course, the magic in the ink sensed the malice and captured her instantly. If Neo had come a little later, he might not have discovered that there was an extra beetle illustration in this book that he probably would never read again.

"It almost caused a tragedy... That's really a waste of truth. A living Animagus is still an insect. The amount of eggs laid by female insects has always been acceptable..."

He rummaged under the bed and found the cage where the cattails were kept last time. Neo threw the beetle in his hand and casually attached a few more confinement spells to the cage. Neo held it in his hand with a smile.

"I've thought about it, you will be my next research project in the second series, about blood ethics, Animagus, and the hybridization and reproduction of magical creatures..."

The beetle could obviously understand human speech. It chirped and roared at Neo, its hysterical look explaining what it meant to be incompetent and furious.

"More than!"

"Great master!"

A house elf with a rag wrapped around his waist, a thin body and a deformed head on his head emerged from the air. It hung its palms on its chest, looking very much like an English shepherd dog.

"Take her and come with me to Diagon Alley. I still have a lot of missing materials for my new experiment."

Neo shrank the cage to the size of a palm and threw it into Dobby's arms, who hurriedly picked up the cage.The old director Lucius had transferred his ownership to the person in front of him. Dobby was a freedom-loving house elf, but it only took one look at the new owner to understand that the person in front of him not only held his own freedom, You can also hold your own soul.

"Elves are really a strange race with high magical potential. They are also a sample worth studying."

Neo looked at Dobby with gleaming eyes, making him tremble all over.

"Let's talk about it next time, the appointed time is coming soon."

Neo stamped his foot on the floor, and Nagini quickly swam up.

Neo likes to take Nagini with him when he goes to crowded places. He has learned from Tom's experience and knows how muddy the water in the magic world is. He is a weak and pitiful underage wizard without a bodyguard with outstanding perception. Next, how dare you go out casually?

This time Dobby used the goblin's apparation, and the group immediately appeared on the streets of Diagon Alley.

"The meeting point is at the grocery store. Let's go there first."

After turning a few corners, when the dilapidated grocery store appeared in front of them, three red-haired boys were already standing at the door. They also saw Neo, and the twins waved to him happily.

"Neo, we're here!"

The twins were still the same as before, this time with the addition of a chubby dwarf. In fact, Ron was not short. He was a little taller than him when he stood in front of Neo, but the look down from his soul made this child who was not familiar with Neo feel a little ashamed.

"I thought you couldn't come out of the house. Last time I saw you, you should be quite busy."

Neo meant something. He learned some information about Peter Pettigrew from Lucius. The result of the trial of this rat in the Wizengamot court was that Azkaban served a sentence, which was not surprising. Austria's expectations were consistent. He and the Weasley twins talked about this because they wanted to compare it from the side.

Sure enough, the twins knew the news.

"Mom really didn't agree with us coming out. Later, dad asked Patsy to lead us so that we could have some rest for the afternoon."

"When we got to Diagon Alley, we ditched Patsy. He wanted to stay away from us. He was always strict and thought we were too noisy..."

The three of them chatted for a long time, and Neo kept feeling that he had missed something. Finally, he caught a glimpse of the children next to the twins.

"Oh, hello Ron, I forgot to say hello to you."

"Hello, Neo." Ron looked timidly at Nagini who was hanging on Neo's shoulders. This child was not only afraid of spiders, but also snakes.

Neo gave him a kind smile.

"Child, you called me wrong, it was...Hello, Professor Slytherin!
