From Karma Taj to Hogwarts

Chapter 17 Professor Kettle Burn

"Are you looking for something?"

A ghost standing in the air stopped Professor Lorre and Pringle.

"There is a student who violated school rules. He should be nearby." Pringle said, hoping that a ghost could help them. "Did you see anyone suspicious?"

The ghost pretended to think for a while and said: "Speaking of little wizards wandering at night, I did see one at the stairs on the third floor just now. He should have just escaped from here."

"It must be Gryffindor's naughty bag!" Pringle said bitterly and ran towards the stairs quickly. "I will definitely catch him!"

Professor Luo Lei frowned and glanced at the position of the stone pier again, but the feeling of incongruity had disappeared. He shook his head and left the position in confusion.

The ghost in the sky breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw Helena floating over curiously. She asked, "Are you covering for the little wizard who wanders at night?"

Xiwen laughed awkwardly and said, "I think it's not easy for little wizards..."

Helena glanced at him suspiciously, but didn't ask any more questions.

……

At the same time, the little wizard Xiwen had arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the teaching area.

When he used his ghost identity to attract the attention of Professor Luo Lei and Pringle, he secretly took out his wand and recited the spell he had just learned during the day in a very soft voice, turning his soles into soft cushions. Then he quietly left the two faculty members who were searching and came to the first floor.

Afterwards, he tensed his nerves and stood at the bottom of the stairs leading from the first floor to the second floor. It was not until he heard the footsteps of the two people disappearing that he finally relaxed and took a deep breath.

'so close! ’ Xiwen rubbed his face, feeling that his whole body was about to freeze.

Fortunately, he finally achieved his goal.

Leaving the hiding stairs, Xiven walked to the closed door of the castle. He saw the iron bolts and big locks hanging on it, but this did not make him feel depressed.

Xiwen stretched out his hand and pressed it on the door, feeling its thickness.

Then, he raised his left hand in an upright position and drew a circle on the door with the wand in his right hand.

A ring emitting golden light grew from small to large, and finally reached the size of a person's height, clinging to the castle gate. From the golden ring, you can see the stars in the sky and the faint grass on the ground. This is the scene behind the gate!

‘Who would have thought that I could only reduce the dimensional door to a wall-penetrating circle? ’ Xiwen smiled mockingly to himself, walked through the ring, and came to the outside of the castle.

……

After half an hour.

Xiwen walked aimlessly on the lawn, feeling that the hope of finding the kitten was getting slimmer.

"AccioKitten!"

He reluctantly raised his wand and shouted into the empty grass.

With his eyes closed, Xiwen thought about the appearance of the kitten in his mind, hoping to summon her over.

After about half a minute, Xiwen opened his eyes——

A strange, unshaven face suddenly appeared in front of him, with a very surprised expression on that big face.

"I'm going!" Xiwen was so frightened that he cursed, jumped back suddenly, lost his balance and fell to the grass.

"Professor Kettleburn, why are you here?" He reluctantly sat up, rubbing his head that had been hit hard, and asked with lingering fear.

"I should be asking you this, right? You're yelling next to my room at night!" Professor Kettleburn said with a glare. "If I'm not mistaken, it should be curfew time now."

Xiwen replied with a headache: "Yes, but my cat can't be found. I really want to find her back."

Professor Kettleburn said angrily: "What can happen to a pet cat? It might just run out to play on its own. After a few days, when it gets tired of playing, it will go back to its nest."

Xiwen said: "But my cat hasn't opened its eyes at noon today, and the cat cage is still closed well."

Professor Kettleburn's tone became even more angry. He said, "Bringing a kitten to school with its eyes closed? What do you think? What if you can't keep it alive? Are you responsible?"

Hearing what he said, Xiwen suddenly remembered something and asked a little excitedly: "Professor, you teach the Care of Magical Creatures class, right?"

Professor Kettleburn looked at him suspiciously and said, "Yes, is there any problem?"

Xiwen said: "I've always wanted to find you, and today is just the right time!"

Later, Xiven told Professor Kettleburn all about his cat's anomalies.

The professor slowly became interested as he listened. He waved his hand and said, "Follow me!"

……

Professor Kettleburn took Sivan to where he lived. He lived in a shack next to the Forbidden Forest. The house was very simple, with only a bed, a table and a chair. The dirty table was placed by the narrow window, and there was a large colorful pot on it, which was boiling water.

Xiwen glanced at the colorful cauldron and felt that it seemed a bit out of tune with the simplicity of the room. So he took another look, and then couldn't look away again.

"Professor, is this the shell of a fire crab? Is it used to boil water?" Xiwen asked in disbelief.

"Hmm, this gadget boils water very quickly, so it works really well!" Professor Kettleburn sat on the bed carelessly, indicating that Xiwen could sit on the chair.

Xiwen bent down and moved the dusty long-bristled brush in front of him, preparing to go to the chair. However, he froze again.

"Is this unicorn tail hair?" He reached out and touched it in disbelief. He clearly felt the same touch as the tail hair that he had specially studied at home and used to make the core of the wand, so he looked at it in shock. To Professor Kettleburn.

The professor waved his hand and motioned for him to come over quickly.

"Don't make a fuss. The unicorn's tail hair can easily hang on the tree trunk. This thing is very common in the Forbidden Forest." He said. "Hurry up and sit here and tell me about your cat in detail."

Xiwen felt that he was numb. It seemed that even if he was as wealthy as his own family, he would not be so luxurious as to use a small pack of ten gallons of unicorn tail hair to make a hair brush...

Shaking his head vigorously, he forced these astonishing emotions away and began to tell how he bought the cat, what the cat's image was like, its usual abnormal behavior, and expert evaluations, etc. .

The professor listened with interest, interrupting Xiwen from time to time to ask for some details.

"You said that the cat cage is closed well, but the cat is missing?" he asked. "Could it be that your roommate let it go?"

Xiwen shook his head and said, "I don't think so. They have no motive for doing this."

Nodding slightly, Professor Kettleburn pondered for a while, and suddenly said with a solemn expression: "According to what you said, I only know that cats can pass through a well-closed cat cage without causing damage to it. A sort of……"

"That's Zuowu!"
