Howl's Moving Castle and Hogwarts Castle

In the next few days, Mr. Mocaster did not go to work, ah no, he actually resigned from his job in France, and he decided to look for a job in England a few days later to clean up the manor first.He used the magic of the Witch of the Wilderness—the Witch of the Wilderness lived in Howl's castle at the beginning, taught some magic to Howl's children, and passed it down.He used magic to create many plastic people and asked them to clean the house.It's just that these plastic people are very stupid, and they have to keep looking at them to give orders.

And Mrs. Mocaster did not go to work at the Ministry of Magic.She was busy decorating the manor, and found some magic left by the former owner. These magics were handed down from time to time to protect the family. The former owner was a down-and-out nobleman. The manor was mortgaged by the Ministry of Magic, and the things inside could be moved. They all moved away.Naturally, no one has cleaned up these black magic.She was the only wizard in the family, so she had to go.

Naturally, our Ji Xing didn't go to school either. In fact, Ji Xing didn't go to school for two years.Ji Xing was sticky to his parents since he was a child, so he learned early childhood education at home, but when he was in elementary school, he had to go to school, and he was also very resistant.He has been smart since he was a child, and his grades in school are among the best, but he is not good at communicating with people. It should be said that he does not know how to make friends of the same age, so he is rejected by his classmates instead.Then naturally he hated school more and more, and after finishing elementary school ahead of time, he got permission to study at home.I didn't expect to go to a magic school now.

Ji Xing has been busy reading magic school books recently, and Mrs. Mocaster helped him buy the first grade textbooks in advance.Ji Xing, who liked magic since childhood, was naturally very interested in these books.It took him a week to read through the thick history of magic, and then he finally became interested in the wizarding world-he had been repelling going to school before.The history of magic explained many major events that happened in the magic world, but Ji Xing found that there was no mention of magicians like their family.Ji Xing felt very curious. It is said that there were many magicians in Hal's time, and there were also schools for magicians who both used magic. Why didn't they overlap with each other?

The 11-year-old boy was just at the age to get to the bottom of it. Thinking of this question, Ji Xing couldn't sit still, threw the book away, and ran out of the castle to find his father.

Mr. Mocaster is in the manor outside the castle. The castle has been cleaned, but weeds are still overgrown outside. He directs the rubber man to pull the weeds.

"Dad!" Ji Xing ran to his father.

Seeing Ji Xing, Mr. Mocaster was very curious, how his son came out after reading those magic books these days.But Ji Xing ran towards him in a hurry, Mr. Mocaster didn't have time to think about it, he hurried up to catch Ji Xing who was running, and slowed down his momentum. "If you run so fast, what if you fall down?"

Ji Xing stuck out his tongue and saw the rubber man pulling weeds, his eyes lit up, "Dad, you made a rubber man!" Because Mr. Mocaster never taught him this magic, Ji Xing was very envious.

"This manor is too dirty. I can't clean it by myself."

"Father, why didn't you burn these grass?" Ji Xing began to come up with a bad idea, "Or ask mom to come and take these things away? That's the one... disappearing without a trace? I saw mom used it!"

"Oh, honey, this manor is too big. There are many things in it, even animals. And there are still a lot of residual magic protection, so we can only clean it slowly." Mr. Mocaster explained.

"Okay..." Ji Xing was a little disappointed that he didn't give his father a good idea.

Seeing that his son was sad, Mr. Mocaster quickly diverted Ji Xing's attention, "You are going to school in a few days, and your mother will take you shopping in Diagon Alley tomorrow. How are you, are you happy?"

"Really?" Ji Xing was indeed diverted from the subject, "Then I'll go find my mother!"

Seeing his son run away, Mr. Mocaster shook his head. It is really worrying that the child has to go out to school for so long.

And Ji Xing, who ran away, had completely forgotten why he was looking for his father...

The anticipated second day came soon.Ji Xing got up early to tidy himself up, and waited for his mother at the table after breakfast.

Calcifer gnawed on a large piece of wood, seeing Ji Xing's anticipation, couldn't help pouring cold water on him.

"Howl's magic is the best. I don't think you can learn much even if you go to that crappy school."

Ji Xing became angry when he heard it, and pulled out the wood that Calcifer was gnawing on, causing Calcifer to yell loudly, and Ji Xing yelled back without mercy.

Immediately, the noise resounded throughout the living room, until Mrs. Mocaster gave Ji Xing a shut-up.

Ji Xing's eyes turned red immediately, and he stared at his mother's eyes.

Mrs. Mocaster didn't soften her heart at all, "Jiji, if you have something to say, please don't make a scene. Just nod when you understand."

Ji Xing nodded repeatedly.

After Mrs. Mocaster broke the spell for him, she immediately pounced on him, "Mom! It's Calcifer. Calcifer said that Hogwarts teaches useless magic!"

Mrs. Mocaster glanced at Calcifer, and Calcifer suddenly became sleepy, afraid to make a sound.

After filling the wood for Calcifer, Mrs. Mocaster sighed as she saw her son's depressed expression.My son has been smart since he was a child, and he can learn everything quickly, but his mind is always underdeveloped. At the age of 11, he is still like a kindergarten child, and his love is serious.Maybe Merlin opened a door for him so he closed a window.

"Have you packed it? We are ready to go to Diagon Alley." Mrs. Mocaster said.

Hearing that Ji Xing was excited, he was immediately full of energy, "Mom, I can go anytime!"

Mrs. Mocaster took Ji Xing out of the castle and arrived at the manor.

"Grab my hand."

Ji Xing knew that this was going to apparate, he had apparated with his mother before, and knew that it was a very uncomfortable way of transportation, but it was very fast.

Clenching her mother's hand, Ji Xing came to Diagon Alley after a burst of dizziness.

Opening his mouth wide, Ji Xing looked at the street in front of him.Everything seemed so miraculous. Although Ji Xing grew up in a magical family and was exposed to a lot of magic, it was his first time coming to the world of magic.Mrs. Mocaster refused to take him to the magic world before, and he had only heard of the magician on his father's side but never seen it.

Ji Xing grabbed his mother's sleeve and looked around all the way, wishing he had more eyes.He saw a group of children gathered in front of a window where there were some brooms on display, and the children were all admiring.I also saw a pet shop, and the sign in front of the door said: Yila Owl Store - Gray Forest Owl, Mingjiao Owl, Grass Owl, Brown Owl, Snow Owl.

Mrs Mocaster stopped at a robe shop.

"Son, can you go in and buy the robe yourself? I can go and buy the books for you."

"No!" Ji Xing grabbed his mother's sleeve tightly, "I don't want to go in alone."

Mrs. Mocaster sighed, and led Ji Xing into the gown shop.

"Oh, good afternoon, ma'am, and our little gentleman." A short, fat witch came out and was surprised to see Ji Xing wearing Muggle clothes, but quickly realized, "Do you want to buy a uniform? We There are so many here, to be honest, there is a young man trying on clothes in it right now."

At the back of the shop, there was a red-haired thin girl standing stiffly on the footstool trying on clothes. When Mrs. Malkin mentioned her, her face turned red.

Ji Xing was pushed by his mother to stand on the footstool, and Mo Jin put on a long robe for him, pinning it to fit his body length.

Mrs. Mocaster went to the shelf to look at the styles of clothes, while Mrs. Malkin was concentrating on her work. Ji Xing hesitated for a long time before speaking to the red-haired girl.

"Hmm... I'm Ji Xing Mocaster, are you also a freshman at Hogwarts?" After saying that, Ji Xing wanted to bite his own tongue, isn't that nonsense.If Madam Malkin was not helping him to try on clothes, he would have run away.

And Ginny saw that the boy on the opposite side looked more nervous than herself, and couldn't help laughing, "Hello, my name is Ginny Weasley."

"You... Hello." Ji Xing already regretted speaking.Fortunately, at this time, the witch who helped Ginny try on the clothes said that she had already tried it.

Ginny jumped off the stool, "I'm going to find my mother, see you later."

"goodbye……"

Seeing Ginny go out, Mrs. Mocaster came over and patted Ji Xing on the head, causing Ji Xing to cry out in pain.

"Oh, mom, why did you hit me?"

"Why do I have such a stupid son like you," Mrs. Mocaster said helplessly, what would happen to such a character at Hogwarts.

Ji Xing yelled in dissatisfaction, but Mrs. Mocaster ignored him. When he left Mrs. Malkin's shop, Ji Xing was still sulking.

"Let's go buy wands next." Mrs. Mocaster completely ignored her son's awkwardness.

"Mom, why do you need a magic wand? Dad never uses a magic wand." Ji Xing seemed very dissatisfied. Although he was looking forward to the magic wand before, now he made up his mind to dislike his mother's magic.

She saw through Ji Xing's thoughts at a glance, so Mrs. Mocaster did not answer her son.

The two came to a dirty and dilapidated shop.Seeing the dilapidated storefront in front of him, Ji Xing really began to dislike it, "Mom? I was wrong, take me to another store, I don't want the wand from this store."

Thinking that his mother brought him here on purpose, Ji Xing quickly admitted his mistake, hoping that his mother would take him to a better home.

"This is the only wand shop in England." Mrs. Mocaster pushed the door open with her reluctant son.

There were bursts of jingling bells coming from somewhere behind the shop, and then a soft voice rang out, which startled Ji Xing.And Mrs. Mocaster had already sat down on the only bench in the shop.

Looking back at his mother for help, Ji Xing was helpless when he shook his head.An old man walked up to him and stared at him with his very shallow eyes, staring at Ji Xing until he was in a cold sweat.

"Sir, we are in a hurry, can we start trying the wand?" Mrs. Mocaster finally spoke.

"I still remember you, Oak, eleven and one-third inches long." Mr. Ollivander looked at Mrs. Mocaster, and without waiting for her answer, he looked at Ji Xing again, "Then—— Which hand do you use, sir?"

"Left—the left hand." Ji Xing hadn't recovered from the shock just now.

"Well, let me see." Mr. Ollivander measured Ji Xing, first from shoulder to fingertips, then from wrist to elbow, shoulder to floor, knee to armpit, and finally his head.As he measured it, he said, "Every Ollivander wand has super-magical substance, that's the essence of it. We use unicorn hair, phoenix tail feathers, and dragon nerves. Each Every Ollivander wand is unique as no two unicorns, dragons or phoenixes are exactly alike. Of course, if you use a wand that should belong to another wizard, it will never work as well .”

The tape measure was automatically measuring for Ji Xing, and Mr. Ollivander shuttled between the shelves, taking down some long and thin boxes from time to time.There are at least a few thousand boxes here, piled up to the ceiling.

"Come on, try this one." Mr. Ollivander put a wand into Ji Xing's hand.Before Ji Xing could feel anything, he was pulled away, "No, no, not this one."

Ji Xing kept changing his wands, and it took no more than ten seconds for each one to be in his hand, and some random little magic would always happen.Such as spraying small fountains or something.Ji Xing was very curious about these, so he just kept watching what kind of magic the wand in his hand could bring.

"What a fussy customer," said Mr. Ollivander, and produced a box. "This one must fit."

As soon as Ji Xing got it in his hand, he knew that it was this one, and everything fit so well. Ji Xing waved his wand, and the box in front turned into a chair.

"Oh, wonderful, maple and unicorn feathers, ten and a quarter inches long, seven Galleons, thank you for the chair too."

Finally, when the trial was over, Ji Xing took the wand. He really felt that he conjured up a chair only when he was tired from standing, but unfortunately he couldn't sit down for a while.

Mrs. Mocaster paid seven galleons and walked out of the shop with her son.As she expected, Ji Xing would be gifted in transforming, because members of the Mocaster family were born with Animagus.
