Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 287 The Change of the Curse

Hearing the slightly hoarse voice coming from behind, Moon subconsciously wanted to turn around.

After all, Moon didn't want to use an invisibility cloak to deceive someone who couldn't do magic.

Filch raised the oil lamp in his hand a little further forward and spotted a familiar figure.

He saw the same figure in the small classroom on the second floor almost every day, so he remembered it very clearly.

The most important thing is that there is a cute Niffler standing on the shoulder of the little wizard outside the door, blinking at him constantly.

These characteristics are enough to explain the other party's identity.

"Oh, it turns out I was dazzled. There's no one here."

Filch quickly retracted the oil lamp, pretended to say something, and then walked in another direction.

"Oh~, I was scared to death!"

Hermione patted her chest nervously, her voice still trembling.

Having just heard Filch's voice, she thought she would definitely be caught tonight.

Because of the unicorn murder in the Forbidden Forest last week, Hogwarts has issued a very strict ban.

If they were caught tonight, both of them would likely be expelled.

Until she could no longer hear Filch's voice, Hermione carefully took the Invisibility Cloak handed to her by Moon and put it on.
"Why did Filch just leave?"

Able to make the strict and stubborn castle warden leave and turn a blind eye to the students who made mistakes.

Perhaps only Moon could do something like this.

But Hermione was still very surprised.

She only knew that Filch's cat was kind to Moon, and never thought that the castle manager was the same.

"I think I might have given him a Christmas present, Alaho."

As Moon explained, he chanted a spell on the iron lock on the castle gate.

At Christmas, Moon prepared gifts for all his friends.

Filch, who accompanied her every day to practice spells in the small classroom, was naturally no exception.

Because Filch was often seen cleaning the castle corridors, and some traces of magical materials were difficult to clean.

Moon gave him a magical plant cleaner.

This is a new product created by a senior in the Herbal Medicine Club.

Moon was given some as a gift because he helped him take care of the magical plants for a while.

"A gift! For Filch? No wonder he's covering for you."

After entering the gate, Hermione closed the iron door and cast a [Locking Spell].

In the eyes of the little witch, Filch, who was disliked by all students, must have received a Christmas gift for the first time.

With the presence of the social king Bengbeng, violations of regulations have been reduced from big to small, and from small to nothing.

After Moon and Hermione entered the castle, Professor Snape also came to the castle gate.

"Come out."

After discovering Filch hiding nearby, Snape shouted towards the dark corner.

"Professor, you're really quick on your rounds."

Filch came out with an ingratiating smile.

"I thought I heard some noise over here just now?"

Seeing Snape's questioning look, Filch's expression did not change.

"Oh, that was me chasing Mrs. Norris. Don't worry, no one left the school just now."

After the unicorn's death, Hogwarts professors stepped up their nightly patrols.

Unlike other professors who only wanted to prevent dark wizards from appearing and harming students, Snape wanted to catch this dark wizard.

To this end, he not only stepped up patrols himself at night and even in the late night, but also asked Filch to guard all key exits.

"Well, this is today's pick-me-up. If you really can't hold on, you can go back to sleep."

Snape said as he pulled a small bottle of emerald green potion from his pocket and handed it to Filch.

"Oh, thank you very much, Professor. I can still hold on and will definitely not delay my work."

After taking the potion, Felzi held the bottle tightly in his arms, as if afraid of losing it.

"Okay, just take care of yourself."

Watching Snape walk away, Filch carefully put the bottle of medicine into his pocket, then looked in the direction Moon left.

"Mrs. Norris would be very happy if she knew."

Pass through a dozen changing staircases and cross the portrait door left by the Fat Lady.

Only after arriving at the common room did Moon dare to take off his invisibility cloak.

"Okay, go back and rest quickly. You still have classes tomorrow."

Moon said as he folded the invisibility cloak and put it in his pocket, then picked up Bongbong and prepared to walk back to the dormitory.

Hermione subconsciously pulled his arm.

"Can I visit Africa during the summer vacation?"

"Africa?" Moon showed a puzzled expression.

"Oh, so your hometown is on the African continent, isn't it?"

After learning about Moon's special abilities, Hermione became more and more certain that the classmate in front of her must be from a relatively wild place.

Not only was there plenty of room for dragons, but the Muggle arts of papermaking and printing had not yet been mastered.

All of this evidence suggests that Moon must come from the most underdeveloped place on earth.

"No, I promised Professor Flitwick that I would participate in the Spellcasting Competition during the summer vacation."

Moon knew very well that Hermione was a young wizard with good logical reasoning skills.

Now that she thinks her hometown is in Africa, it is definitely the best explanation.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, this little witch must not be taken to another world.

"But you can always go back, right?"

Hearing Moon's refusal, Hermione asked subconsciously.

"Of course not. I haven't fully mastered this ability yet, and I can't bring anyone back."

"Huh? That's it."

Hermione's expression suddenly became a little depressed. She had originally thought that she could visit the scenery of another continent in a very short time.

By the way, I'd like to take a look at what kind of place Moon, who I'm very curious about, has lived in since he was a child.

"Then if you have fully mastered this ability, you must take me to see it."

"Don't worry, I will take you to see it when the time comes."

Moon turned around gracefully, raised his hand and waved, then walked towards the stairs of the boys' dormitory.

"Master the ability completely? Let's talk about it after I graduate."

There was always a sense of peace when returning to Hogwarts.

Even though this wasn't my hometown, sleeping on a velvet bed was still quite enjoyable.

The next morning, after Moon came back from washing up, he ran into Ron who was in a hurry to go to the bathroom.

Before Moon could say good morning, Ron's screams immediately echoed throughout the dormitory.

"Ah! Vampire sucking~"

"Vampire! Where?"

The loud shouting not only woke up everyone in the dormitory.

Even from next door and upstairs and downstairs, there were many students shouting and cursing.

"Ron, are you okay?"

When Harry heard the sound, he jumped out of bed and helped Ron, who had fallen to the ground.

"Oh, Moon, you...your face is so white?"

Harry was also startled, and then everyone turned to look at Moon standing at the door.

"Very pale face?"

Moon said, walking over to the mirror behind the door and glancing at it.

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have mistaken you for a vampire."

Ron was very embarrassed. He had a nightmare last night and dreamed of something very scary.

After being frightened by Moon again in the morning, he now had no desire to even go to the bathroom.

"You weren't really bitten by a vampire, were you?"

Seeing Moon constantly looking at himself in the mirror, Ron unconsciously took two steps back.

"How is that possible? The book says vampires can't see the sun. Isn't Moon fine?"

Neville was also awakened by the shock.

Although he was also very timid, when he saw that Moon did not show any other abnormalities, he consciously defended Moon.

"That's right~"

Ron said, loosening his grip on Harry.

Moon wasn't paying attention to his roommates' conversation.

After being hit by this strange curse, his face turned very pale.

In order to prevent others from noticing anything unusual, he performed a small transformation on his face.

But I didn't expect that after sleeping last night, the transformation spell had lost its effect.

But this is not the worst.

When Moon looked in the mirror, he directly used [Memory Recall] to reach the depths of his brain.

Ever since he used the old willow wand to get rid of the bloody monster, Moon's brain magic has become much more perfect than before.

Now he can not only perform it anytime and anywhere, but he can also enter this strange space with his wand.

The original willow tree, thestral and scarlet moon have all disappeared.

Instead, there was a gray sky.

No matter which day's memory Moon used [Memory Recall] to look through, the sky was always gray.

This morning, Moon discovered that there were many darker clouds under the gray sky.

"Is this the curse's continued erosion?"

Looking at the dark clouds gathering in the sky, Moon first cast the [Wind Prayer Technique].

However, it didn't work at all.

Then he picked up the magic wand and cast [Spell Stop] on the dark clouds.

This is a method of solving primary curses introduced by Professor Snape in the book.

Although there is a certain effect, it is not obvious.

Fortunately, with the help of the old willow wand, the dark clouds gradually faded and then disappeared.

"It seems we must find a way to solve this curse."

Moon originally thought that this curse would only prevent him from learning magic from another world.

But unexpectedly, the curse could continue to erode the mysterious space in his brain.

This has something to do with Moon's magic and even his life, so he must find a way to solve it completely.

After exiting the [Memory Recall] state, Moon looked at his classmates who were concerned about him.

"Don't worry, I'm not a vampire."

"Indeed not, but your expression is very similar to Professor Quirrell's."

Harry walked over first and looked at Moon in the mirror.

Quirrell?

That's right, it stands to reason that this professor is also cursed now, and may have similar characteristics.

Moon couldn't help but ponder.

But in comparison, my curse is more powerful.

After all, the professor's curse was only about his position, not himself.

"Why don't you go find Quirrell?"

Thinking that the two of them had something in common, Moon subconsciously came up with this idea.

However, as soon as this ridiculous idea came up, Moon suppressed it.

The professor is now the most suspected dark wizard, so it’s best to stay away from him.
