Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 221 Someone is following
After hearing Bongbong's reminder, Moon took out his wand without any hesitation.

Even though he knew that underage students were not allowed to use magic after leaving school, Moon would naturally not stick to the rules if something dangerous really happened.

Seeing Moon walking carefully towards the bridge entrance with his wand, Bengbeng immediately walked to the other side of the bridge.

After the last battle against Montague, the cooperation between Bongbong and Moon has become very proficient.

The two looked at the hole outside each other's body, and after finding that there was no trace, they nodded and walked out.

"Ji?" (Where are the people?)
Bengbeng was very confident in his hearing, and he had indeed heard someone's footsteps just now.

“There is indeed someone.”

After Moon came out of the cave, he found no trace of people, so he began to look around.

Then he found three footprints in the corner of the bridge pier.

The location of the bridge tunnel is very hidden. No one has been here for a long time, resulting in a thick layer of dust, so the footprints are very obvious.

However, the third footprint only stepped half a step and then disappeared.

"Could it be a wizard?"

Moon squatted down beside the footprints and observed them carefully.

The person who left the footprints was an adult, and must be a wizard.

Because it is impossible for a Muggle to appear and disappear in such a short time.

Only the magic mastered by wizards can do this.

"Why did the other party leave in such a hurry?"

From the direction of the third footprint, it can be seen that the wizard who suddenly appeared on the bridge pier wanted to get closer to the bridge hole.

However, after taking only half a step, he used a magic similar to [Apparition] to leave.

While Moon was still thinking, Bengbeng turned around and climbed up the fence post next to him.

"Chi!" (It's coming!)

Bengbeng said this while jumping and waving his little paws.

Moon was also attracted by its excited expression.

Before he could ask who it was, Moon saw a red light appear in the distance of the Regent River.

At the same time, a clear chirping sound entered his ears.

"Chirp~" (Fox~, I'm here~)

Just as Bengbeng shouted twice, the fire in the distance swept across the river and quickly fell on the bridge pier.

After noticing Moon's figure, Fox threw the letter in his claws out and then started talking to Bongbong in a low voice.

As for Zhizhi, the little snowy owl was completely stunned when he saw the phoenix appear, and his eyes were full of admiration and fascination.

"Did Dumbledore send you here?"

Moon took the envelope and asked as he opened it.

Fox didn't make any sound, looked at Moon and nodded, then turned around and continued chatting with Bongbong.

Although he had long known that Bengbeng had strong sociability, Moon still felt a little awkward when he saw how intimate it was with Phoenix.

[Niffler and Phoenix, isn't the species gap a bit too big? ]

Seeing that the two animals were chatting very enthusiastically, Moon did not plan to interrupt them and concentrated on reading the letter in his hand.

Inside the envelope was a card and a piece of letter paper with only a few short words on it.
-
I can't leave school during the holidays.

But I have an invitation to a very important party and I hope you can go.

Maybe you can find what you're looking for.

Your friend: Albus Dumbledore.

"A banquet? Can a student like me be allowed to attend a banquet that Dumbledore is invited to attend?"

Moon closed the letter and took out the gold-embossed invitation.
-
Dear Professor Dumbledore,
The Ministry of Magic cordially invites you to attend a celebration of extraordinary significance.

Severus Snape successfully developed a new wolfsbane potion.

Its advent has greatly enhanced our ability to deal with the challenges of werewolves.

For this, the Ministry of Magic decided to award him the Order of Merlin, Third Class.

The celebration ceremony will be held at 1991:12 pm on December 30, in the main hall of the Ministry of Magic.

We sincerely hope that you can take the time to attend and witness this glorious moment together.

Looking forward to your visit!

Minister for Magic: Cornelius Fudge

"So it's Professor Snape's new potion. Isn't it just an improvement? How can it win the Order of Merlin, Class 3?" Moon was very familiar with Snape's new potion, and he provided two of the ingredients.

But he never thought that a potion could bring Snape such a great honor.

"Since it's Professor Snape's celebration dinner, it should be fine for me to go. At least I should congratulate him."

Moon thought as he folded the envelope again and put it back in his jacket pocket.

"Please tell Headmaster Dumbledore that I will attend the dinner on time. Thank you very much for coming."

After hearing what Moon said before, Fox just nodded slightly. He came out this time to bring back Moon's message.

However, when he heard the words of thanks to it, Fox tilted his head and looked over curiously.

Moon didn't intend to explain. He had already guessed that the adult wizard who had suddenly appeared might have left here because he noticed Fox's arrival.

However, there was no need for him to send Phoenix back to Hogwarts with this message, because Dumbledore had already said that he could not leave the school during the holidays.

After receiving Moon's message, Fox and Bengbeng reluctantly parted ways.

Watching the phoenix disappear again in the distant sky, Moon picked up Beng Beng and placed it on his shoulder.

"Let's go, we need to find a place to stay early, otherwise it will be dark soon."

After picking up everything again, Moon took Muggle transportation to the Leaky Cauldron.

Because it was a holiday, the bar was already bustling with people coming and going.

When a little wizard named Moon appeared with two pets, this strange combination attracted the attention of many wizards.

However, Moon already had experience with this kind of scene. He pretended nothing had happened and walked through the crowd to the bar.

"Hello, boss. I'd like to book a room."

"No problem. There are plenty of rooms. Single rooms are 5 Galleons a night, and double rooms are 9 Galleons. Which one would you like?"

The bar owner Tom was mixing his newly developed whiskey for his customers with his back to Moon.

After controlling the wine glass to accurately land on the guest's table, he looked down at Moon.

"Oh, I remember you, the little wizard who came to buy textbooks the day before school started. Are you going to stay here, kid?"

"That's right, boss, a single room is fine."

Moon took out his purse and began to count out the gold galleons one by one.

"Don't worry, kid. Hogwarts teachers and students can enjoy a 8% discount on accommodation during the holidays. We also have a price reduction promotion for Christmas. Also, are you planning to stay here permanently?"

"Yeah, maybe two weeks."

"Okay, so with that in mind, I can give you a 7% discount. Is that okay with you?"

"Thank you, I have no problem."

As agreed, Moon paid for 10 days' rent first, a total of thirty-five gold galleons.

It wasn't because Moon didn't want to pay it off in one lump sum, but because he had no money left.

As for the remaining rent money, I can only wait until tomorrow to go to the pharmacy to sell a batch of potion materials to make up for it.

Boss Tom was very easy to talk to. After Moon paid the bill, he immediately took his suitcase and led him up to the second floor.

"There is a free meal provided here every day at noon and in the evening. You can come downstairs to eat on time."

"Also, there might be some noise in the bar, I hope you don't mind, and try not to go out at night."

Tom introduced them and led Moon to the innermost room on the second floor.

"It's quite quiet here. You can put your luggage under the bed. If you need anything, you can ring the bell over there."

"Ok."

After Moon agreed, Tom took a key off the iron ring and handed it to him.

"Just give me the key when you check out."

Only when Tom left did Moon have time to take a closer look at the room.

There was a huge wooden bed by the window in the room. The things on the bed were a bit old, but they were washed very clean.

The light in the house was not very bright, and through the window one could see the scene in the backyard of the bar.

Moon was quite satisfied with this place.

While Bengbeng and Zhizhi were inspecting the new territory, he opened his suitcase and looked through the Christmas gift the professor had given him.
