Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 145: Sparring in the Black Lake
Hermione also noticed that Harry had an abnormal expression.

She nudged Ron, who was talking very excitedly, gently.

"Oh, Harry, don't worry about it. Seventy to eighty percent of those glass balls in the Hall of Prophecy never come true."

Ron was not lying. The Prophecy Hall had the largest number of prophecy balls in the entire wizarding world.

But most of them are extremely wrong.

"Yes, I think it's better to rely on myself than to ask someone for divination."

Moon also expressed his opinion. He knew that the prophecy had put a lot of pressure on Harry.

"Oh, I'm fine, it's just that this wound hurts a little."

After hearing Harry's response, everyone consciously stopped discussing the story about the prophecy and turned the topic to other halls in the Department of Mysteries.

What Moon listened to most attentively was Fred's talk about a "brain hall."

According to the description of this red-haired senior, there was a huge glass tank filled with dark green liquid in the brain hall, and many white brains were floating in it.

And these brains come from the smartest and most talented wizards of the past.

The Ministry of Magic locked them away in order to explore the wizards' past secrets.

"No, I think they want to use these brains to think up the most complex magic. After all, these brains come from smart people like me."

George and Fred were still arguing about what to do with the soaked brains.

Moon was thinking about himself at this time.

He has had two strange magical experiences. Moon suspects that these are related to his brain, but he doesn't know how to explore it now.

Now that these little lions were talking about the brains soaking in the Department of Mysteries, Moon couldn't help but make some associations.

"Isn't what they say a little scary?"

Neville unconsciously sat closer to Moon as he heard the red-haired Weasleys arguing.

"Horror? How is that possible? Isn't this what wizards are supposed to study?"

The twins were frightened by the little lion, so they started to play a trick on Neville again.

But just as they were about to say something more horrifying, Percy came out and stopped them.

"It's late, you should go to bed."

"Oh, my dear prefect has spoken~"

"That's right. I hope there aren't any scary vampires tonight, woo~, disturbing the prefect's sweet dreams."

Percy frowned as he watched his two younger brothers go up the stairs mischievously, and then he kept urging the first-year wizard.

"Alright, there won't be any scary vampires in Hogwarts, so you guys should go back quickly!"

Percy often shows an obvious sense of superiority, but he is very diligent in his duties as a prefect.

Moon knew that Percy was a very good student and was a frequent visitor to the library.

So he deliberately walked at the end of the team and consulted the class leader about brain issues.

"About brain magic, it's probably the same as the Brain Hall, classified as the most confidential. Anyway, there's very little magic related to it in the school library, even in the restricted section."

After hearing what Percy said, Moon suddenly became a little worried.

He had originally thought of going to the library to look for some relevant information, but now it seems difficult.

The discussion on horror topics continued until late in the little wizard's dormitory.

Only after Neville finally asked him not to continue did Ron end his speech with a trembling voice of fear.

There is a Defense Against the Dark Arts class on Wednesday morning.

When he saw Professor Quirrell, Moon felt a little dazed.

Ron and Seamus had a long discussion last night about what the vampires that were after Quirrell looked like.

Moon didn't know whether the professor had eavesdropped on the conversation of the young wizards last night, but Quirrell looked very unhappy today.

But that's not the point. Moon found that Quirrell paid much less attention to him.

Especially after class, he was no longer kept alone, which made Moon feel a lot more relaxed.

After the afternoon Herbology class, Moon and Cedric came to the spell practice classroom as agreed.

This little third-grade wizard is in the spell practice classroom for the first time.

But this time, Filch rarely got angry.

Moon guessed that the castle administrator thought that Hufflepuff students would not cause trouble, so he didn't say anything.

However, when Bongbong saw Cedric, he showed great friendliness and kindness.

This was the first time the Niffler took the initiative to climb onto a stranger's shoulder.

After observing Cedric carefully, Bengbeng turned his head to look at Moon.

"He's as pretty as you!"

"is it?"

This was the first time Moon knew that Bongbong also had his favorite wizard appearance.

"Chichi~" (But you're still prettier~)

After saying this, Bongbong jumped directly from Cedric's shoulder to Moon's palm.

After hearing the praise, Moon generously cast [Smooth Fur] on Bongbong.

"This pet of yours has become quite famous. All the students who train Quidditch know about it."

When Cedric saw Bengbeng, there was a look of curiosity in his eyes.

"Really? I didn't know that."

Moon rarely went to the Quidditch pitch, so he didn't know what happened there.

"This news came from the Gryffindor team. Wood said he was considering making Bengbeng the team's pet. After all, he's a six-time champion."

After hearing Cedric's explanation, Moon understood instantly.

The Granffindor team has not won the championship for four consecutive years, which has put Wood under a lot of pressure recently.

When Moon got up early to study recently, he often saw the team captain designing new game arrangements in the common room.

Now hearing that the other side intends to make Bengbeng the team pet, Moon knows that the captain may really want to win once.

Moon asked Cedric to come, naturally, to practice the [Iron Armor Spell].

This spell creates a defensive barrier that protects against various magical attacks and damage.

Therefore, the best way to practice is naturally to have both attack and defense.

Among Moon's current good friends, Cedric is the only one who can cast the [Iron Armor Spell] and continuously launch magical attacks.

After the two of them checked each other's [Armor Spell] in the classroom and confirmed that they could cast it successfully, they began a very unspectacular wizard duel.

Because neither of them was sure how strong the magic attack their [Iron Armor Spell] could defend against was.

So they started by testing each other with the least powerful [Leg Locking Spell].

After discovering that the [Iron Armor Curse] was fine, he slowly upgraded to the [Petrification Curse].

Of course, the duel has been slowly escalating.

This was also the first time that the two young wizards felt the charm of magic duel. Naturally, they would not just attack and defend in order.

After the two of them discovered each other's magic power, they used all kinds of strange and bizarre moves.

"You're cheating. I just removed my protection."

"The enemy won't wait for you in battle."

After three or five rounds, Moon felt that his chosen opponent was a good match. Although Cedric was two years older than Moon, the difference in their spell power was not that great.

In particular, Cedric's spell attack power is slightly higher than Moon's.

This put some pressure on Moon, but it also subtly inspired his determination to fight.

As for Cedric, he could block almost every spell of Moon, but Moon would not cast just one spell at a time.

This made it very difficult for Cedric to defend against them all.

An hour later, Moon and Cedric collapsed on the classroom floor, exhausted.

"Huh~, I never thought I would be hit by your [Petrification Spell] five times."

Cedric now felt a little scared when he recalled Moon's attack method just now.

He clearly cast the [Iron Armor Spell], but his speed was not as fast as Moon's.

This forced him to find a way to dodge by moving his body.

But Moon's spell casting speed was much faster than Derek's dodging speed.

This caused Cedric to be hit by the spell before his defense could be established.

"Your [Blazing Flame] and [Flying Spell] are also very powerful. Even my protective magic can't block them."

This was the first time Moon had seen these two new spells today, and because he was unfamiliar with them, his defense was very awkward.

"Haha, yeah, I just learned these two spells this year."

In the duel just now, Cedric found it difficult to break through and defend against Moon from the front.

He then used a more powerful attack spell that only third graders could learn.

"By the way, can you teach me these two spells?"

In the previous battle, Moon had already felt the power of these two spells.

[Blazing Flames] can not only destroy Moon's armor spell with one strike, but the flames can also disrupt Moon's vision after they are generated, making him completely unaware of Cedric's presence.

The [Flying Spell] can summon all kinds of strange things to fly into Cedric's hands.

This often meant that Moon, who was standing in the middle, would not have time to defend himself.

"Of course you can. These two spells may be difficult for other first-year students to learn, but they are not a problem at all for you."

In the last hour of the spell practice classroom, Moon formally learned the spells of these two third-year wizards.

Moon noticed that while Cedric was teaching him spells, Filch actually took the initiative to clean the classroom, which was rare.

Then his figure gradually approached the two of them, his eyes constantly watching the waving of wands in the hands of the two little wizards.

"The next period of time will be filled with Academy Cup events, so I may not be able to come every day. I hope you can understand."

When leaving the spell practice classroom, Cedric looked at Moon with great apology.

"Ok."

Moon knew that Cedric was the Seeker of the Hufflepuff team, a position not available to ordinary people.

After seeing Cedric leave, Filch walked over shyly.

"Scarlett, uh, sir, please, could you please help me write down the method you use to cast the spell."

Seeing an unnatural look in Filch's eyes, Moon responded without any hesitation.

"Uh, okay, that's not necessary."

Moon said as he took out his usual spell practice record from his pocket and cast a [Copy Spell].

"Oh, thank you very much."

Filch took the copied record with both hands and kept smiling and thanking.

After returning to the dormitory from the spell practice classroom, Bengbeng pestered Moon to take out the leftover fire snail meat he had eaten last time.

"Chichi!" (Not enough, take them all!)
"What do you want so much for? You can't finish it in one go."

"Chiji~" (Looking for someone to practice magic spells with~)

"Looking for someone to practice spells with? With me?"

"Chi!" (Yes!)

Hearing Bengbeng's affirmative answer, Moon couldn't help but feel a little confused.

However, seeing the little guy's anxious look, Moon didn't think much about it. He took out the last remaining conch and followed him out of the lounge.

Bengbeng kept pointing the way on Moon's shoulder until they walked out of the castle gate and headed towards the Black Lake. Moon's expression suddenly became solemn.

He knew that Bengbeng had many friends in Black Lake.

For those who like to eat conch and need such a large portion, it seems that the only one is that big one.

After approaching the Black Lake, Bengbeng quickly jumped off Moon's shoulder, ran to the water's edge, and used his little paws to stir up some water splashes.

There were constant chirping sounds coming from its long mouth.

"Chi~~"

As the three shouts rang out, Moon could see a huge shadow approaching quickly under the black lake in the distance.

"It really is!"

Just as Moon sighed, a round, dark gray head appeared on the water surface.

As the black shadow continued to float up, its head became bigger and bigger, and two huge eyes slowly appeared.

Then comes the huge body and eight huge arms covered with suction cups.

Moon looked up at the giant squid's constantly swaying body and swallowed unconsciously.

This big guy can definitely encircle the entire castle.

After comparing himself with the castle not far away, Moon truly felt his own insignificance.

The giant squid became obviously very happy when it saw Bengbeng.

Its arms moved faster and more regularly, and the color of its body changed towards pink.

After living on the sea in another world for a while, Moon already knew that this octopus creature conveyed information by changing the color of its body.

But Moon was still a little surprised to see such a large animal constantly changing color in front of him.

After seeing the giant squid appear, Bengbeng took the conch from Moon and placed it by the water.

"Eat!" (Eat quickly!)
The flame snail was quite large, and Moon needed both hands to hold it.

But after the giant squid caught the conch with its suction cup, it looked like a small bump on its body and was not noticeable at all.

When Moon saw the giant squid about to put the conch into its mouth, he quickly warned it.

“It’s hard.”

Click~
Click~
The flame snail that could withstand Moon's three [Softening Spells] was like a very crispy biscuit in the giant squid's mouth.

"Bengbeng, do you think it can really help me practice spells?"

Moon now suspected that Bengbeng had found the wrong person. This giant squid was obviously a magical creature that was more difficult to deal with than a fire dragon.

Let it accompany me to practice the [Iron Armor Spell] which I am not very good at yet!
How is this any different from asking Moon to challenge Dumbledore?
"Chi!" (Of course!)
Bongbong didn't understand Moon's worries. After the giant squid swallowed the fire snail, he told it the purpose of his trip.

The giant squid also conveys information to Bongbong through complex color changes on its body.

This was beyond Moon's understanding, and he could only watch blankly from the side.

A huge animal and a tiny animal are talking and changing rapidly.
"Chirp~" (It says it knows you)

"Chi!" (It said it had looked for you several times!)

"Chirp!" (It agrees!)
