Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 177 The Safest Way

How to make Pu Rongrong the best assistant for the three-headed big dog Lu Wei.

Hagrid had already tried this problem once.

"That's what I did, but I didn't expect Lu Wei to not like it at all and chewed it all up."

Hagrid said helplessly as he picked up some broken wood frames by the fire in the cabin.

"You want me to make a more suitable wooden frame to serve as an earmuff holder for Lu Wei?"

"Yeah, I think maybe what I did wasn't very comfortable and Lu Wei didn't like it."

As Hagrid spoke, a lonely expression appeared on his face. He seemed very sad that he could not please Lu Wei.

Moon didn't notice Hagrid's expression. He was still thinking about the feasibility of this plan.

Hagrid's method was to make three huge earmuff frames out of wood, put the cattails in them, and then put them on the three big dogs.

In this way, the music will not be able to make the three big dogs fall asleep again, but this approach also has its disadvantages.

"If you do this, wouldn't it weaken Lu Wei's hearing ability? I think this is a bigger loophole."

Moon said with some concern.

"But this is the best solution I can think of."

Hagrid threw the wood chips into the stove helplessly, his expression becoming more and more lonely.

He certainly understood the loopholes Moon was talking about.

In Hagrid's opinion, Fluffy's only weakness is that he falls asleep after hearing music.

But Pu Rongrong is just the opposite. As long as you put this little guy into Lu Wei's ear, the sleeping Lu Wei will wake up immediately.

He thought about this combination all night.

"I know you might be focused on Lu Wei's ears, but we can also make a shelf and place the cattails somewhere else on Lu Wei's body. This way it won't block Lu Wei's ears and it will also prevent him from falling asleep."

"Yeah, actually it's not just the ears. As long as I can wake Lu Wei up, it's fine. He's actually very sensitive to sounds."

Moon certainly knew that dogs were sensitive to sound.

This creature is actually similar to a wolf, and its powerful hearing is the key to its capture of prey.

"So where do you think it would be appropriate to put these little guys?"

After hearing Moon's suggestion, Hagrid threw away the earmuff frame that had been bitten to pieces by Lu Wei and looked at Moon curiously.

"It would be best if it didn't affect Lu Wei's battle, but could also serve as a reminder. What do you think of the collar?"

Moon thought about it and found that this was the most suitable position.

"A fluffy collar, I think it's okay!"

Seeing Hagrid's agreement, Moon immediately took out a piece of parchment and spread it on the table and began to design the style of the collar.

In order for the cat to hear the music and receive a reminder, all obstructions on the inner layer of the collar should be removed.

This ensures that Lu Wei can clearly feel the beating of the cattails.

In order to prevent thieves from opening it easily, the collar must be strong.

Moon thought of this and looked up at Hagrid again.

"By the way, what if there's a spell specifically designed to destroy collars?"

"Don't worry, Fluffy is very sensitive to spells, and he has three heads."

"That's right. After all, even Professor Snape couldn't hide from it. However, it would be better if we ensure it is strong and has a certain degree of concealment."

After hearing what Hagrid said, Moon naturally increased the difficulty of the design.

In his opinion, as long as the three collars were not destroyed all at once by the other party, they would still be useful.

At this time, as long as Lu Wei reacts, the thief will have to deal with attacks from three directions.

Moon was deeply touched by this type of attack.

He is now looking for a giant squid to train, but in fact, at most he can only deal with one of the giant squid's arms.

If there was one more, Moon wouldn't be able to last even one round.

After spending an hour, Moon designed the latest collar pattern.

Not only is it sturdy, concealed, and comfortable, but he also plans to add some alchemical runes to it.

Moon had discovered a strengthening rune on the main body of an alchemical key.

This is a rune that increases the strength of alchemical items.

And Moon has also found its correct writing method and interpretation in "The Most Obscure Text: An Initial Exploration of Alchemical Runes".

Now is a good time to give it a try on the cattail collar.

"To ensure its durability and the ability to engrave runes, we'd better choose a harder wood. Rosewood, can we get it?"

After Moon finished drawing the entire drawing, he handed it to Hagrid and said.

"There are a lot of them in the Forbidden Forest. Many wizards have come to me to buy this kind of wood to make furniture, but I have never agreed."

"Alright, I also left 36 grooves on each collar for the cattails. You might need to grab some more. The ones we have now are definitely not enough."

"Don't worry, there are plenty in the Forbidden Forest."

Hagrid turned the drawing in his hand several times before looking at Moon with some doubt.

"What are these densely packed small characters?"

"Oh, this is an alchemical rune that can be used independently. It's a small innovation of mine."

"Alchemy! You've actually started studying this?"

Hagrid was very surprised. He knew how difficult alchemy was, especially since Moon was so young.

"I have to say, I actually see the shadow of Dumbledore in you."

Hagrid swallowed, even though what he just said was what he really thought, he still felt unbelievable when he said it.

"Don't say that. This is just a small test of mine. It may not work, but even if it doesn't, it won't affect the use of the collar."

As the alchemical item that Moon had been in contact with for the longest time, he had studied the runes on the key most thoroughly.

This also gave him the confidence to carve the runes onto the collar for use.

"Okay, I'll get the ingredients ready as soon as possible, and then catch some cattails. Is there anything else you need to prepare?"

Hagrid asked again after placing the drawings on the table.

"Oh, if possible, can I meet Lu Wei? I want to measure his body size and then optimize the design to ensure the comfort of the collar."

Hearing Moon say this, Hagrid couldn't help but hesitate. He thought for a while before speaking.

"This requires Dumbledore's approval. I will apply to him now."

"Oh, don't be so anxious. You can prepare the materials first. If Dumbledore agrees, you can ask Harry's Hideaway to notify me."

"Well, honestly it's time you got an owl."

"Let's talk about it later. I think it's good to have Bengbeng now."

Noticing that Bengbeng, who was playing with Yaya, was staring at him, Moon quickly expressed his opinion.

"You two have a really good relationship. Since the plan has been finalized, how about some afternoon tea?" Seeing Hagrid about to prepare steamed buns again, Moon hurriedly stopped him.

He had noticed a small alarm clock on Hagrid's desk, which read 4 p.m.

"No, I might have to go to Black Lake."

After receiving guidance and advice from Professor Flitwick yesterday, Moon designed a new training method.

Today I just happen to have time to try it again with the giant squid.

"Well, you must be careful."

Hagrid had no idea what Moon was going to do.

But he knew that every time Moon went there, the water in the Black Lake would become terribly muddy, as if a war had taken place.

After talking to Hagrid, Moon took Bongbong out of the cabin and headed for Black Lake.

The giant squid was very happy to see Bengbeng again.

After the two magical animals talked to each other, the giant squid put Bongbong on its head and swam a long circle in the Black Lake.

After more than ten minutes, Moon held the wet Bongbong in his arms and had to use the [Drying Spell] and [Fur Smoothing Spell] on it.

"Ji~" (so comfortable)
After cleaning up Bengbeng, Moon discussed a new training plan with the giant squid who was still unsatisfied.

Moon had studied it several times since receiving Professor Flitwick's advice on Tuesday.

Combining his own actual situation, Moon found that what he needed to master most now was the ability to react quickly and increase the strength of the spell.

In this proposal, Professor Flitwick describes in detail how to train quick reaction skills.

It includes four aspects: visual training, auditory training, magic induction training and physical reaction speed.

Moon actually understood the suggestions regarding vision, hearing and physical training.

But he had asked Professor Flitwick about magical perception.

The other party simply explained that this was a subtle sensation that could only be formed after many battles.

"Actually, for you, Mr. Scarlett, training the first two should be enough. As for magical perception, it cannot be developed without hundreds of duels."

According to Professor Flitwick, Moon guessed that this kind of induction should be an ability that can only be improved under extreme conditions.

This reminded him of the two strange situations he had encountered.

In that state, he was indeed able to use his magic to sense things around him more clearly and in more detail.

However, this state is something that Moon can only encounter by chance.

However, Professor Flitwick believes that this is an ability that wizards can master through training.

Such words made Moon more confident in his experiment of developing brain magic.

Professor Flitwick developed the visual training in the hope that Moon would go to the Quidditch field to observe the Golden Snitch.

He is required to be able to find the Golden Snitch faster than the Seeker, so as to strengthen his visual training.

But Moon didn't think the Golden Snitch could achieve the training effect he wanted.

Compared to him standing on the ground and observing the golden snitch in the sky.

Moon believes that it is more useful to feel the giant squid's fast-moving claws up close.

Especially when this big guy stretched out two or three claws at the same time, Moon had to distinguish them carefully to know which one would attack him first.

This allowed him to train his visual abilities while also better controlling the rhythm of the battle.

Not only that, while fighting against a super powerful opponent like the giant squid, Moon can also subtly improve the strength of his spells.

"Planned training does lead to faster progress."

Moon found that his training results today were much better than on Monday.

Today he was able to completely construct a new [Barrier] before the giant squid's arm broke through three [Barriers].

Although the one fighting against Moon was only one claw of the giant squid.

But it's already very good for Moon to achieve such results.

Moreover, with such achievements, it can also provide a faster way for Moon to train his hearing sense.

"Chi!" (once!)

"Chirp!" (One ten plus three ones)

"Chirp!" (five tens plus six ones)

After starting the listening training, Bengbeng was always in charge of counting.

Moon's way of hearing training is to turn his back to the giant squid and use his hearing to cast [Obstacles] to prevent the giant squid from touching him.

Since this was his first time trying this type of training, Moon didn't succeed once this afternoon.

The giant squid is still too fast.

Moon couldn't determine the exact direction just by relying on his ears, let alone cast a spell.

"Bengbeng is fifty-six, not five tens plus six."

While training the spells, Moon was also teaching Bengbeng a new way of counting.

Although this little guy likes shiny things, he always uses "one pile" or "two piles" to describe his toys.
There is never a clear answer.

Only after Bengbeng counted to ten tens did Moon's training for the day truly end.

Although Moon failed to successfully block the giant squid's attack with his ears alone, Moon's reaction ability was indeed enhanced.

At his current rate of improvement, he should be able to improve faster than the suggestions made by Professor Flitwick.

Almost one day of his training can achieve the same results as Professor Freeve's training in a week.

Of course, in addition to training [Obstacles], Moon also practiced other spells with the giant squid.

In addition to the commonly used offensive spells, Moon focused on training his newly mastered [Cutting Spell] this time.

This was an intermediate spell he had exchanged with Professor Snape on Monday.

Snape said at the time that as long as Moon could lay a solid foundation, he would give him a more advanced spell of the same type.

This made Moon very excited, because Moon was indeed very talented in cutting magic.

After only two days of learning this spell, Moon found that he could already cast the [Cutting Spell] continuously.

This was faster than when he was learning [Blazing Flame] and [Thunder Explosion].

Moreover, the strength of this spell was enhanced in Moon's hands.

The most an ordinary little wizard can do with the [Cutting Spell] is to cut through branches, but Moon can already use this spell to cut through thinner stones.

But for the giant squid, none of this is enough.

Every time Moon cast a [Cutting Spell] on it, it was like a tickle, not even a white mark was left.

However, the giant squid relied on its quick reaction ability to let Moon's [Cutting Spell] help it break several barnacles on its body.

　I'll give you a heads up, there won't be any more 10,000-word updates before the New Year.
