Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 261 Clever Hermione

On Sunday morning, Moon had just woken up when he found Professor Sprout's reply letter next to his pillow.

This is a palm-sized green sycamore leaf with some light golden veins on it.

There are three lines of small red words on the leaves.
-
Thanks for your help.

The layout has been received, it is a very good design.

Also, be sure to pay attention to safety next time.
-
Moon had seen Professor Sprout use this method of communication once in the Forbidden Forest.

He was very curious at the time, but he didn't expect that a day later, he also received such a letter.

The only difference was that the leaf given to Dumbledore contained words spoken by Sprout, while the one in front of him was written in ink.

"It seems that the professors all have their own strengths."

Moon knew that the four deans of Hogwarts were very accomplished in their respective fields of magic.

They possess many magical little secrets that belong to them alone.

Moon has now witnessed Professor Snape casting spells with both hands, Professor McGonagall transforming into a cat, and Sprout using leaves to send messages.

As for Professor Flitwick, although Moon had never seen him perform top-secret magic in person, he knew that he had a very deep attainment in magic.

Professor Flitwick saw through the [Hand-Warming Spell] that he had worked so hard to modify at a glance, and even gave suggestions for improvement.

"So what will my specialty be in the future? Cutting magic, or memory magic?"

Influenced by Professor Sprunt, Moon is full of expectations for his future self.

After getting up and washing up in the bathroom, the sleepiness was completely driven away.

Moon came to the lounge and focused on dismantling the spell that was about to be completed.

The common room on Sundays was a bit busier than usual.

Although the little lions are reckless, they will not openly violate the school's new ban, especially since the ban has Dumbledore's signature on it.

There are fewer students wandering around outside the school, so naturally there are more students indoors.

However, Moon was still the same as usual. No matter how noisy the surroundings were, a [Close Ears and Block Listening] would allow him to concentrate on studying.

Others were also used to Moon's hard work and diligence, and would not take the initiative to disturb him during this period.

But today was different. A pair of eyes would glance towards Moon's location from time to time.

Hermione had noticed something strange about Moon a few days ago, but what happened today only confirmed what she was thinking.

The owl that always flew around Moon came in and out of the lounge more frequently today.

Almost every hour, it would flap its wings and land steadily on Moon's shoulder.

After cooing with Moon for a while, the owl will leave again.

When Zhizhi flew away for the fifth time, Hermione couldn't suppress her speculation and quietly came to Moon.

"Is Hagrid going to send Charmander away?"

Hearing Hermione's whispered question, Moon was slightly startled, and nodded without hiding anything.

"Yes, Hagrid asked me if I needed to prepare anything. He might be too worried about Norbert, so I was trying to comfort him."

Moon was about to cast another spell to put himself into the learning state when Hermione immediately reached out to stop him.

"Why would Hagrid ask you that? Wasn't he the one who wanted to send Charmander away?"

Hermione keenly caught the loophole in Moon's words, and a hint of curiosity appeared in her eyes.

"Oh, maybe it's because I was the one who came up with this idea for him, so it's normal for him to ask me. Besides, I'm the only one who can understand the communication between Charmander and Bong-Bong."

After hearing Moon's explanation, Hermione nodded as if she understood.

Although Moon's explanation was perfect, Hermione didn't completely believe it.

In order to find out whether Moon was really hiding something from her, Hermione kept a close eye on Moon all day.

Whether eating in the auditorium or studying in the common room, she is like a little tail.

It was not until after 10 o'clock in the evening that Moon returned to the dormitory. Hermione waited outside for a long time, and when she saw no movement, she returned reluctantly.

The plan to send Charmander away must be kept secret. This is the only request Moon made to Hagrid.

But Moon also knew that Hagrid was a man who could not hide his words, as if he was carrying a truth serum with him.

So Moon did not reveal the real details of the plan to Hagrid, but only agreed with him on the time of departure.

Hermione had obviously guessed something, but Moon had no intention of telling her.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the little wizards in the common room had all returned to the dormitory, and Harry, Ron and others in the same dormitory had also fallen asleep.

Moon got out of bed quietly, picked up his suitcase and walked out of the dormitory carefully.

I arrived at the common room, put on my invisibility cloak and prepared to leave again.

But just as he walked out of the portrait door, he heard a crisp bell ringing.

Ding bell~
"Come out, don't hide, I know it's you."

Hermione's voice rang out from the corner, and Moon reluctantly lifted his invisibility cloak.

"Why are you here? Leaving the dormitory at night is against school rules."

"Come on, who told you not to tell me how Charmander will leave?"

As Hermione spoke, she untied a thin rope from the other side of the portrait door, with a small bell tied to it.

"Is this how you stop your classmates?"

Moon was indeed a little careless just now and didn't notice the rope blocking the door.

"That's right, but I was just planning to catch the student who was out, and I didn't expect it to be you."

Putting the bell in her pocket and keeping it close to her body, Hermione gave a sly smile.

"Why don't you go back? This is actually nothing unusual."

"No, transporting Charmander is such a big thing, I have to watch it to prevent you from getting into any accidents."

Hermione's attitude was very firm, and her eyes revealed unquestionable determination.

Seeing that he couldn't convince the other party, Moon had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, come in quickly, and remember not to say anything no matter what you see."

Moon opened the invisibility cloak, put it on the two of them again, and quickly walked down the spiral staircase.

On the way out of the castle, they carefully avoided Professor Snape who was patrolling at night, and Professor McGonagall who was checking in the square.

The moonlight shone on the grass, and the two of them walked across the grass like ghosts, heading towards Hagrid's hut, where the lights were on, at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

There was a crisp knock on the door, followed by the sound of banging on tables and chairs in the wooden house.

"Who is it?" Hagrid's voice came from inside the house, with a hint of nervousness in his tone.

However, Bengbeng had already sensed Moon in advance. He quickly walked to the door and took a lot of effort to open it.

"it's me."

Moon took off his invisibility cloak only after he entered the house, and then he saw Hagrid's red eyes.

This tall and mighty Forbidden Forest Guard had obviously just cried.

"Now that you're here, come and see if what I prepared for Norbert is enough."

thump~
thump~
Hagrid said as he brought out a wooden box and a sealed clay jar and placed them on the table.

"I've prepared a whole box of brandy for him, and a large can of chicken blood. If you can't find food, you can feed these to Norbert first. It should be enough for him to eat for three days."

"Isn't this a bit too much? Can you carry it?"

Hermione asked worriedly, looking at the large box and pottery jar that were half a person's height.

"Don't worry, this suitcase of mine is very useful now."

Moon said as he opened the suitcase and spread it on the ground, then asked Hagrid to carry the two things in.

The huge boxes and pottery jars seemed to shrink automatically when they approached the suitcase and were neatly placed inside.

But in fact, they did not shrink, but the space inside the box became larger.

"This is the traceless extension spell. Have you learned it?"

Hermione was very surprised; she had never seen Moon use this spell before.

"Yes, it's very convenient for storing things, and it will also offset some of the weight of the items."

Moon said as he closed the suitcase and tried to shake it.

"It's just that my current spell isn't powerful enough, otherwise this box would be lighter."

Hearing Moon's words, Hermione's eyes flashed with envy.

She had a very beautiful beaded pouch that she had been trying to cast a traceless extension charm on, but had never been able to do so.

But she knew that now was not the time to ask for advice on spells, so she looked at the Charmander who was still playing beside her and asked curiously.

"How are you going to get Norbert out?"

There is now a very dangerous monster in the Forbidden Forest, and the professor is constantly patrolling the castle.

Hermione had no idea what method Moon would use to transport Charmander out.

"Don't worry, it's still early. Let Hagrid talk to Norbert for a while."

Hagrid was very moved by Moon's suggestion. He walked over, squatted down, and hugged Charmander tightly.

"My little baby, I will miss you. You must grow up quickly. I will definitely visit you when I have the chance."

Hagrid's voice had a hint of tears in it, and his emotions were very sincere.

However, Charmander obviously did not appreciate it. After finding that he could not break free from the giant's arms, Charmander kept biting Hagrid's hair and collar.

Seeing that Hagrid was still unmoved, Charmander angrily spewed out puffs of black smoke.

After spraying three or four times in a row, a red flame the size of a little finger was sprayed out by the Charmander.

"The water is as clear as a spring!"

Moon reacted quickly and immediately used a spell to extinguish Hagrid's burning hair.

"Oh, it's still so naughty. How can I feel at ease?"

Hagrid didn't care at all what Charmander did and hugged Norbert intimately again.

It was not until after midnight that Moon turned his eyes away from the wall clock and looked at Hagrid.

"Okay, it's time."

Seeing Moon sitting in the chair ready, Bengbeng led Charmander over.

Zhizhi naturally fell on Moon's left shoulder, while Bengbeng climbed up to his right shoulder along the cuffs of his sleeves.

He held the suitcase in his left hand and had his right arm around Charmander's neck.

Looking at Hermione and Hagrid who were staring at him curiously, Moon said something to them very seriously.

"Remember to keep it a secret."

As soon as he finished speaking, Moon disappeared from the chair in an instant.

"Where did he go?"

Seeing Moon disappear out of thin air, Hagrid ran over in surprise, picked up the chair, turned it over and shook it, but he could not find any trace of Moon.

"Could it be Apparition? But Moon didn't even take out his wand."

Putting down the chair that was about to fall apart, Hagrid became more and more confused.

Hermione, who had been standing nearby, was also startled. Only when she heard Hagrid's words did she come to her senses.

"I heard Percy say we can't Apparate in school?"

Although it is unclear what kind of magic Moon just cast, this spell is the only one that can explain what just happened.

"To be precise, it can't be used in the castle, but it can be used as long as you leave a certain range of the castle, such as in the Forbidden Forest."

Hagrid also reluctantly accepted the answer of [Apparition].

He slumped back into his chair, took a sip of Charmander's remaining brandy, and a sad expression crossed his face.

"Did Moon tell you when he would be back?"

"He said it would only take a short while. It should be quick."

After hearing what Hagrid said, Hermione calmed herself and sat down next to him.

But her eyes were fixed on the chair where Moon had just sat, and she was unwilling to leave for a moment.
