Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 175 Dumbledore's Help

Moon already knew this from Madam Pince, the librarian.

Due to the special nature of ancient magic, professors would never agree to lend ancient magic books to first-year wizards.

But Moon really needs to refer to the information on ancient magic now, and he can feel that Professor Fleming is in a very good mood now.

Of course, in order to prevent Professor Flitwick from refusing, Moon might need to use a more tactful approach.

Thinking of this, Moon suddenly became a little reluctant and spoke.

"Professor, your suggestions are actually very detailed. I think if we follow the above methods, we will definitely achieve very good results."

"Of course!"

Professor Flitwick's smile grew wider.

In his opinion, although Moon was only a first-year wizard, his mastery of spells was far more accurate than that of his senior classmates.

Now with the detailed training suggestions he provides, we will definitely be able to achieve good results in the competition.

Even his suggestion would help Moon make greater achievements in magic. Maybe he could even cultivate a talented magician in magic.

Flitwick felt a little excited at the thought of this.

In his opinion, the sense of accomplishment of cultivating a talented magician is more proud than winning the championship in those duel competitions.

However, Moon's next words poured cold water on the professor's heart.

"Professor, this suggestion is a bit too complicated. If I really follow the above method, it will definitely delay my study of other courses."

"How could that be? This is me."

Professor Flitwick was about to argue, but suddenly couldn't continue.

This suggestion was the result of his more than ten years of dueling experience and his continuous summary of more than twenty years at Hogwarts.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, looking at the length of the scroll, Flitwick knew that it was too long for an 11-year-old wizard.
Maybe it really is complicated.

"Okay~"

Flitwick sighed helplessly.

If students were asked to practice according to the methods on the scroll, they would have to spend a lot of time, which would inevitably affect the little wizard's other courses.

But when Flitwick thought that the little lion he had chosen might break the record of the spell-casting competition, he felt reluctant to let it go.

【Eleven years old! 】

Flitwick's eyes were fixed on Moon, but his thoughts were in a mess and he couldn't make sense of them.

When Moon saw the expression on Professor Flitwick's face gradually freeze from a smile to embarrassment, he knew the time had come.

Then he pretended to have thought of something and said it with sudden enlightenment.

"Professor, perhaps you could provide me with the convenience of studying other courses, so that if I work harder, I might be able to follow this plan."

I heard that Moon was able to find a way himself.

Professor Flitwick suddenly felt that the little wizard in front of him was very understanding, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"I wasn't wrong about you, Mr. Scarlett. Wizards should endure loneliness in order to break through themselves. Tell me, what convenience do you want?"

"Professor, it's actually very simple. If you can give me a note to borrow a book on ancient magic from the library, it will be fine."

After listening to Moon, Professor Flitwick's smile froze on his face again.

"This... This is really embarrassing."

Professor Flitwick rubbed his hands and looked at Moon tentatively again.

"Mr. Scarlett, perhaps you could make another request."

"Uh, okay, Professor."

Moon tried his best to maintain the disappointed expression on his face.

"If you can lend me information about ancient magical hand gestures, I can reluctantly accept it."

In fact, this sentence is Moon's real purpose.

He knew that few first-year students could borrow ancient magic materials, so he could only settle for materials related to spell-casting gestures.

In fact, Moon is already able to use the defensive magic [Mirror Tide] from another world.

However, this was only possible because he imitated the movements of the two captured magicians.

As for the principle, he still has only a vague understanding of it.

If Moon wants to change this curse, he must have a deeper understanding of it.

Moon's problem with the basics of spells wasn't really that big of a problem.

By studying books on spell modification, he now has a large amount of knowledge that forms the basis of modern spells.

But now the spells have been greatly simplified and the gestures have been completely abandoned.

So Moon could only turn his attention to the ancient magic spell casting techniques.

"Well, although I don't know why you are so obsessed with ancient magic, as long as it doesn't involve spells or things like that, and is just about hand gestures, I think there should be a book that is very suitable for you."

Professor Flitwick thought for a moment, then picked up the quill on the table and began to write on the parchment.

Ancient Spells: Exploring the Origin of Magic

"The hand gestures used to cast spells have actually been abandoned by modern wizards a long time ago. If you want to study them, you'll have to do it yourself."

After handing the borrowed book to Moon, Professor Flitwick said with some concern.

"I understand, Professor. I will practice strictly according to the suggestions in this plan."

Seeing the book borrowing note, Moon couldn't help but feel happy.

He knew that these books and materials at Hogwarts were actually more helpful for him to reform ancient magic.

Because the magic in this world also evolved from ancient magic, and it took hundreds and thousands of years of efforts by wizards to evolve into modern magic.

Now that he has this information, all Moon needs to do is retrace the steps of his predecessors.

"Okay, if you have any questions about spells, remember to ask me. I will also check your progress every month. I hope you won't let me down."

"Don't worry, Professor."

Being able to consult a spell master at any time is something Moon has always wanted.

Moon is also very confident about the monthly checkups.

After all, he now has twice as much time as others and is fully capable of balancing training and studying.

After Transfiguration class on Tuesday afternoon, Moon came to the library with a book checkout slip.

After seeing Moon again, Madam Pince was still thinking of refusing.

But when she saw the contents of the borrowed book note, the lady couldn't help but look up with some confusion.

"Wait a moment, I need to confirm its authenticity."

Madam Pince said this and left quickly.

However, she did not let Moon wait any longer. After confirming the authenticity of the borrowing note, she took out the book that Moon wanted from the restricted area.

"What's so special about this little wizard? The Potions Professor specializes in writing books, and the Charms Professor agreed to issue loan notes for ancient magic books. This has never happened before."

Watching Moon leave, Madam Pince looked at his back and fell into deep thought.

The book Moon borrowed was the thickest tome he had ever seen, even thicker than the dozen volumes of "Oxford Reading Tree" that Hermione lent him.

When Moon returned to the common room with the book in his arms, Bongbong suddenly found him.

"Chirp!" (A new friend has arrived!)

"new friend?"

Moon was very curious, because anyone who could be introduced so solemnly by Bong Bong must be extraordinary.

"Chichi~" (She is very beautiful and brought a gift.)
Peng Peng said as he led Moon quickly towards the dormitory. Peng Peng had very strong communication skills, which Moon had actually known for a long time.

Although Bengbeng has many friends, only a few of them can be praised for their beauty.

As far as Moon knew, only Cedric and himself had been praised like this by Bongbong.

Moon followed Bengbeng back to the dormitory out of curiosity, and then saw a huge gray cloth package on his four-poster bed, with a letter on the package.

There was no one in the dormitory at this time, only Bengbeng kept urging.

"Chirp!" (This is a gift for you!)

Bengbeng pointed at the package and said.

"I?"

Moon was a little curious. He had just learned that in this world, people exchanged gifts with friends on Christmas.

But there are still more than ten days before Christmas, and Moon is not sure who will give him the gift.

He walked forward and picked up the envelope curiously. There was no information on it, so Moon opened it curiously.
-
Hope this helps you.

I also hope that you can help others when you are able to.
-
There were only two short sentences in the letter, without any signature.

Moon read the letter over and over again, but still had no idea what it meant.

But Bengbeng was lying on the bed urging Moon to open the package quickly.

"Don't worry, I'll take it down right away."

The package is sealed very tightly.

After Moon opened it, he found a silver-gray, shiny object that looked like liquid inside.

"This is?"

Moon picked it up and examined it curiously.

He found that after he held this thin cloth-like thing in his hand, his hand became completely invisible.

"This is... an invisibility cloak!"

Moon has been studying alchemy recently, and the materials have introduced this magical alchemical item.

But Moon was still not sure, so he put on the clothes and walked to the mirror in the dormitory.

"Bengbeng, can you see me?"

"Ji?" (Where are you?)
Seeing Bengbeng still looking around frantically, Moon knew that this was really an invisibility cloak!
However, after confirming the true identity of the gift, Moon hurriedly took it off and examined it carefully in his hands.

When Bengbeng saw Moon again, he ran over and put on the clothes, having a lot of fun looking at himself in the mirror.

Moon once asked Professor McGonagall for help and borrowed a book called "Detailed Explanation of Ancient Alchemy" from the library.

This book gave a not very detailed introduction to the production process of the invisibility cloak.

"On a full-moon night, collect silk from mysterious animals, weave it into basic fabric, and then soak it in magic liquid.

Mysterious mineral powder and the tears of various precious magical creatures are added to the crucible for forging, allowing every inch of fabric to fully absorb magical energy.

A magician proficient in alchemy uses a special quill pen dipped in magic ink to draw complex runes on the clothes, chanting the spell while also ensuring the formation of the magic circle.

Finally, it needs to be sealed in a specific environment for a long time to absorb the moon's magical energy before it can be truly completed."

Although the materials and process of making the invisibility cloak were not described in detail in this introduction, Moon knew that this thing was very valuable.

"Who would give me such an expensive gift?"

Moon looked down at Bengbeng who was still playing with his invisibility cloak on the ground.

"Chichi~" (No one can find me anymore~)

After Bengbeng got the invisibility, the first thing he thought of was the hide-and-seek competition.

At this moment, the little guy was still thinking in his heart: The title of six-time champion could perhaps be extended a little longer.

"Bengbeng, do you know who sent this gift?"

Moon interrupted the little guy's fantasy and asked curiously.

"Chirp~" (I know, and I received a gift too.)
Bengbeng was very happy when talking about the gifts.

It first looked around to make sure there was no one around, then it stretched its little paws into the small pocket in front of its belly.

"Chi!" (Look! Isn't it beautiful?)

When Moon saw Bengbeng holding a fiery red feather in his hand, he knew who it was.

Dumbledore's Phoenix: Fawkes.

No wonder Pengpeng said that his new friend was very beautiful. The phoenix was indeed the most beautiful bird among all the birds Moon had seen.

Since the feathers came from the phoenix, the invisibility cloak must have come from Dumbledore.

"Help? The principal wants to help me. Does that mean he has guessed something?"

Moon recalled the contents of the letter just now.

He really needs help now. After returning to the Scarlet Moon at the weekend, Moon will find a way to deal with the faithless magician Montoya.

Although he had prepared two solutions for this, they were not safe enough.

Now if we add the invisibility cloak, the success rate of this matter will increase a lot.

"Do you want to go and express your gratitude to the principal?"

Thinking of this, Moon became hesitant again.

Dumbledore did not sign the envelope, which made it impossible for him to guess what the headmaster was thinking.

But looking at the invisibility cloak in his hand and the phoenix feather that Bongbong had been holding in his arms, Moon knew that this gift was really too precious.

Moon only knew before that phoenix tail feathers could be used to make the core of a wand, and that the level of the wand made would be quite high.

But after reading books on alchemy, he knew that phoenix feathers could be used for more than just making wands.

The tears of this amazing bird are a very powerful healing material, and its feathers also have this effect.

Moreover, phoenix feathers are very good magical media, and the magic runes written with them will be very powerful.

Not only that, phoenix feathers can also be used to make various alchemical items such as accessories, and they have very powerful protective functions.

Moon even read in a book that some magicians speculated that phoenix feathers could carry wizards and teleport them over long distances, ignoring any magical barriers.

"Bengbeng, this gift is too valuable. Have you given anything in return?"

Although Moon knew that neither he nor Bongbong had gifts of comparable value, he still wanted to express his gratitude.

Especially since he still didn't know who Dumbledore wanted him to help.

"Chi~" (I forgot~)

Hearing Moon's question, Bengbeng's little claws, which were originally waving phoenix feathers, froze in mid-air.

"Well, it looks like we'll have to wait until next week for Christmas to return the gift."

"Chi!" (Okay!)
In fact, Bengbeng also likes to celebrate the wizard's festival very much. He knows that the little wizards will bring him a lot of delicious food during those days.

But Moon was worried because he didn't know what to give to the principal.

Also, other people use owls as gifts, but Moon doesn't have any yet.

"Bengbeng, everyone else uses owls when giving gifts, what should we do if we don't have any?"

"Chi!" (I can do it!)
After hearing Moon's question, Bengbeng's eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his little paws and jumped to introduce himself.

"Well, most of our friends are at Hogwarts anyway. As for Uncle Gaia, using the school owl should be fine."

Moon didn't know what Bengbeng was thinking, but seeing how enthusiastic it was, it was hard to refuse.
