Harry Potter and the Burnt Badger

The thick gorilla arm may not be able to hit the small wand, but there is still no problem in smashing an arm.

Forrest couldn't help but scream under the pain, but the scream stopped abruptly the next moment, because another heavy fist had hit his chest.

Blood spurted out from Forrest's mouth and even splashed all over Moon's face. Moon held his breath, resisting the slight fear of having to kill someone with his own hands and the rush of adrenaline, and pressed his hand against Forrest. Te's chest, he barely pushed himself up, pulled back his other hand and aimed it at the head of the dark wizard leader in front of him.

"My turn...draw a card..."

Forrest, who was already very weak, had his entire mind empty at the moment, and had no way of understanding what Moon had said - the pain from his broken arm and the heavy blow to his chest had already overwhelmed his already decaying body. .

Of course, even if he heard it, he probably wouldn't understand it.

The fist finally hit Forrest's head. The hard skull of the human body ensured that his head was not smashed to pieces, but his nasal bones were undoubtedly broken, and his face was stained red like a painting. Blood was everywhere.

People are still alive, but they are not far from death.

Looking at Forrest who was completely unconscious, Moon exhaled and sat down next to this guy.

He felt a little nauseous, not because he almost killed Forrest, but because the impact just now was so hard that it even made him feel as if his internal organs had been displaced, and his eyes were turning black. In addition, He just reluctantly went up and punched twice, which made his head buzz even more, and he was afraid that he might faint at any time.

After taking two deep breaths, Moon tried to cheer up and looked to both sides of the corridor. Randall's figure had disappeared. He must have hid in a certain room.

Fortunately, the poisonous fog spell used by Forest Dempsey was slightly different from that of the dark wizard before - the poisonous fog of that dark wizard did not disappear when he stopped casting spells, but Fu The poisonous mist released by Rest Dempsey has now become extremely weak.Now that I think about it, it was probably caused by the dark wizard losing control of his spells.

There was a dark shadow flying up from downstairs. It seemed to be Professor Snape. Since he had arrived, Uncle Golov should have arrived soon.

The black shadow that flew through the sky suddenly stopped in front of Moon. As the wisps of black air dispersed, Professor Snape's pale face was revealed, looking even weaker than before.

He looked at Moon and Forrest who fell on the ground in amazement, and rarely opened his mouth to explain: "When I came back, I was stopped by this guy's henchmen - did you kill him?"

"I was stopped... I thought you and my uncle had changed careers to become police..." As soon as Moon opened his mouth, he immediately felt a severe dizziness in his head. He couldn't help but fell back, his injured back and head all hit the wall.

Normally, he would have screamed out in pain, but right now, he had no reaction at all, and all he wanted to do was close his eyes and fall asleep immediately.

"He's not dead... he's fainted... I'll leave the rest to..."

Before the last two words of "Uncle Golov" were uttered, he closed his eyes and lost consciousness.

…………

When I woke up, the world had not changed drastically, but the ceiling in front of me was indeed very strange.

Fortunately, the person around him was no stranger. His mother An Zheng was lying beside the bed, sleeping quietly.

My body has recovered a lot, at least my back doesn't hurt much anymore, and the hazy feeling in my head is no longer there. Only the internal organs still have some slight discomfort.

He turned his head and looked in the other direction. Sure enough, the window was over here. Through the glass, he could see that the sky outside was already getting bright. It looked like it was morning.

Moon thought that his injury was not that serious yet, and it was unlikely that he would be able to sleep for several days, so... it was probably Saturday at this time - sleeping all day was what he thought of The most likely scenario.

The young man lying on the hospital bed struggled to get up, but accidentally pulled the quilt on his body. An, who was lying next to the bed and taking a nap, was probably holding the quilt, so before the young man could sit up completely, An had already sat down in surprise. He got up and hurriedly came over to support Munn. "Moon, are you awake?"

"Well, Mom, how long have I been asleep?" Moon smiled sheepishly, and then asked the two questions he was most curious about at the moment, "And...Forrest Dempsey...?" "

"You've been sleeping for more than a day, and it's already the 27th. As for Forrest -" An glanced at Moon complainingly, "You're a little too desperate. How can a child do such a dangerous thing?" ?”

Moon didn't know how to answer this, so he could only lower his head slightly in apology.Seeing him like this, An couldn't say anything more, so she stretched out her hand to rub Moon's hair and said softly: "Okay, thanks to you, Golov has avenged your Aunt Ola. ”

Hearing this, Moon breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, An sat sideways next to him. While arranging his hair, he said softly, "Promise mom, you will try your best to protect yourself in the future, okay? Mom too." I understand that you have your own considerations and thoughts, and I understand your desire to take care of and avenge your family. But, you know, my mother has lost her husband, and she cannot afford to lose your child again."

Moon felt his nose was a little sore. He sniffed, took a deep breath, then raised his head, looked into An's eyes, and nodded solemnly, "Okay, Mom, I understand."

An's face showed the same gentle smile as always. She gently touched Moon's cheek, then stood up again and picked up a lunch box from the cabinet next to her. "Are you hungry? Mr. Wheeler - this is it." The therapist next to me told me that you will wake up this morning, so I asked Edgar to bring you some food to prevent you from being hungry when you wake up."

"I am indeed a little hungry." Moon also laughed. He took the lunch box and took out food from it to fill his stomach. At the same time, he chatted with An about some things that happened in the school in the past two months Interesting facts.

After another two hours, the sky finally became completely bright.

Chapter 1 Warnings and Encouragement

"To be honest, you really took advantage of it this time." Walking on the road to Hogsmeade, Golov couldn't help but said: "You must not be complacent because of this victory, thinking that the dark wizard is also It's nothing special. You know, Forest Dempsey stayed in Azkaban for several years, and he didn't have time to recover after coming out. Plus, he must have relaxed when he was facing a little brat like you. A lot of vigilance. Even so, according to what you said, you often used strange tricks to win."

"So, the reason why you were able to defeat Forest Dempsey this time was because of your own strength, but more importantly because of the help brought by various special circumstances. I hope you won't let this happen. This thing gave rise to some wrong perceptions, you know Moon?"

"Yes, I understand." Moon nodded helplessly. Uncle Golov had said similar words four times since leaving St. Mungo's at noon and returning home.

So it's really not that he didn't respond attentively. After hearing the same words several times, no one else would be able to respond attentively.

Golov naturally knew that he was nagging, but he couldn't help it. He was really afraid that one day Munn would lose his mind and go out to be a "Ranger" and find a dark wizard to do justice. Get in there yourself.

Although the possibility of this kind of thing is not high, Golov just wants to nag him again and again.

Every time he said it, he felt that the possibility was getting smaller.

So just nag a little bit.

Under a tree in front, the place was empty three seconds ago, but now an old man wearing a dark purple robe suddenly appeared. He had long silver hair and a beard of the same color, and a slightly crooked nose bridge. He also wears a pair of glasses with half-moon lenses.

It was Albus Dumbledore.

The old principal folded his hands in front of him, with a slight smile on his face, and said to Golov and Munn who were walking towards him: "It seems that Munn is recovering well?"

"Yes, it's nothing serious." Golov nodded slightly and led Munn to Dumbledore. "It's hard for you to come and pick him up. In fact, I can send Munn directly to the school gate." .”

"Ha, Moon is the big contributor this time -" Dumbledore seemed to have noticed the weird look on Golov's face, and blinked, then changed the subject, "And I was seriously injured. I was originally I wanted Hagrid to pick him up, but Hagrid was busy with things in the Forbidden Forest, so I had to pick up Moon by myself."

Moon looked at the slightly "naughty" principal and couldn't help lowering his head and laughing. Golov shrugged helplessly, "Anyway, I'm sorry to bother you. Since it has been delivered, I will go back first. There are still some things at home waiting for me to go back and deal with."

"it is good."

"Goodbye, Uncle Golov."

The old man and the young man watched as Gorov took a few steps back, and then disappeared from their eyes using apparation.

"I guess Golov must have told you not to be dazzled by victory, right." Dumbledore turned around and smiled at Moon, "Let me think about it, three times? Four times ?”

"Four times." Moon felt a little helpless. He raised his hand and scratched his itchy forehead, sighed and said, "I also know that Uncle Golov is doing it for my own good, but he still let me go after saying it so many times." I'm a little... embarrassed."

"Haha, this does seem like something Golov would do - let's go, it's still a short distance from the school. If you hurry up, you can still make it in time for dinner. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll have to go to the kitchen. We're looking for food here." The old man took Munn towards the school, and at the same time continued: "In addition, you did a good job, Munn, you surprised us who are familiar with the matter. Severus said, when Golov first found out that you single-handedly subdued Forest Dempsey, apart from being worried, he probably wanted to ask you to change your last name to Shafiq on the spot."

"Of course, I'm very proud of you myself, Moon."

Moon raised his head and glanced at the old man, but Professor Dumbledore did not look at him, but kept looking ahead.

"Thank you for your encouragement, Professor." Moon responded shyly.

"You deserve this. As your uncle, no matter how proud Golov is of you, he will never be able to encourage you like me, because he and you have an inseparable blood relationship. He values ​​your life and safety more than the honor and pride you bring him." Professor Dumbledore smiled softly. "On the contrary, it is me, as an outsider, who can encourage me on this matter without any burden. you."

Moon understood the implication of the old man - Professor Dumbledore was afraid that he would be dissatisfied with Uncle Golov because of this matter, so he deliberately used this method to remind him.

Therefore, Moon also smiled and said: "I thought you praised me because you knew that I would not be complacent about this kind of victory."

This teasing response actually showed that he was not dissatisfied with his uncle. In addition, he understood Professor Dumbledore's meaning and would not really alienate the old man because of this.

Professor Dumbledore turned around and smiled at Moon, "How do you know I don't know about this?"

The weather is inexplicably good. Although night has enveloped the surrounding areas, the bright moon in the sky is bright and the stars are dotted. Instead of making people feel gloomy, it gives people a feeling of refreshing autumn.

"Ah, by the way, I remember that you still have a box at Mr. Dempsey's place, right?" As he got closer to the school, Professor Dumbledore seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Yes, Professor, it is indeed true." Moon nodded.

"It's best not to hand this thing over to others too often in the future." Professor Dumbledore gave Moon a meaningful look. "Fortunately, Mr. Dempsey was quite smart and handed the box to Severus." Si and your uncle, otherwise, if it falls into the hands of an Auror, due to the obvious sense of danger on it, not only will the box itself be confiscated, but you may also be called to the Ministry of Magic for trial."

"Dangerous feeling?" Moon repeated the word, gradually realizing what Professor Dumbledore meant.

The old man nodded slightly, "Yes, of course, none of us opened the box, but the box did make us all feel...discomfort, as if it was a trace left by some very special black magic. If it wasn't If Mr. Dempsey said that was your box, I would probably be tempted to destroy it."

"Of course, now, the box has been placed safely under your bed."

Chapter 111 Forrest’s method of death

When Moon followed Professor Dumbledore into the Great Hall of Hogwarts, almost half of the eyes in the auditorium looked over.

Of course, most of them were looking at Professor Dumbledore, but there were indeed many people looking at Moon.

Especially the little wizards at Hufflepuff's long table.

When Cedric and the others saw Moon, they immediately showed expressions of relief. Violet even laughed happily. Moon grinned at them, suppressing the desire to run over directly. The impulse - although they were only separated for a day or two, Moon actually walked through the gates of hell.

Professor Dumbledore also saw the looks on Hufflepuff's long table. He turned around and glanced at Moon with a half-smile, and nodded, "Go ahead."

Moon responded, bowed, and immediately quickened his pace towards the Hufflepuff table.

As soon as he sat down, Gal grabbed Munn's shoulders and said with a vicious look: "Where on earth did your kid go? There has been no trace of you for several days. Really, we are almost worried. died."

Cedric and Arlin also came over, as well as Milton, Tonks, Gabriel... Even Violet couldn't help but tilt her head to eavesdrop on the conversation.

Moon looked left and right, then cleared his throat, "Cough-well, I came back from running a long way, I'm a little thirsty..."

Arlin picked up a glass of apple juice and placed it in front of Moon, staring at him eagerly.

Moon picked up the cool apple juice and took a sip, then wiped the corners of his mouth and sniffed twice. "Hmm... I'm so hungry. I want to eat some pie and sausage first."

Tonks picked up two sausages from the dinner plate in the center of the table. Gal picked up a piece of pie and stuffed it into Moon's mouth. "Say it!"

Moon chewed the pie and almost choked, so she had to pat her chest hard. After the pie went down a little, she finally said with an innocent face: "I want to say it too, but I can't talk about it. I was given a gag order."

"Damn!" All the young wizards looked angry, and Gal and Yaerlin directly moved their hands, pressing Munn down and ravaging him.

Gabrielle couldn't help laughing as she watched from the side, while Tonks was eager to give it a try - but her eagerness to give it a try didn't last long, but two seconds later, she actually started to play with Moon's head.

…………

Everyone finished the dinner laughing and joking. During this period, Moon also asked about the school newspaper work this week. The result surprised him: considering that he was not in school, everyone burst out with unprecedented work enthusiasm. On a Friday night plus a Saturday In one day, they had almost finished this week's school newspaper, and all that was left for Moon to do was the final review work.

This situation began to make Moon think deeply. If he had not stayed at school, everyone's work efficiency would have been so high...

After all, it was only three days of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday when we were away, so we wouldn’t have much to talk about.After a dinner and a little time on the way back to the dormitory, everyone had almost said everything they wanted to say and interesting things in the past few days. Therefore, after returning to the Hufflepuff common room, The little badgers started doing their own thing as usual, and Moon was finally able to sit in front of the fireplace holding his book.

Of course, before that, he went back to the dormitory, nominally to pick up books, but in reality, he took a look at his suitcase and flipped through the Marauder's Map.

Professor Quirrell was still lying on his hospital bed obediently. Judging from the map alone, Hogwarts was as peaceful as ever.

Good thing Forest Dempsey is dead.

From the moment he revealed the Dark Mark, Moon had already realized that something was wrong - according to Professor Snape, Forest Dempsey was not branded with the Dark Mark before Voldemort's fall. , and Forrest himself admitted this in disguise.But if we put it this way, then there is only one possibility that Forrest's Dark Mark was branded after he escaped from prison.

And this is almost equivalent to announcing that Forrest was able to successfully escape from the transfer, probably with the help of Voldemort's henchmen.

With the help of Voldemort's henchmen, Forrest managed to escape and avoid being judged.Then, maybe some deal was made, or maybe something happened that made Forrest realize that he was alone. Of course, the most likely thing was that Forrest had no choice but to agree at that time.In short, he was branded with the Dark Mark and joined Voldemort's remnants.

This is also the reason why he said those words to Professor Snape at that time. From those probing words, there was a very important message: the person who rescued Forrest probably also knew Quirrell. actions, as well as Quirrell's experience at Hogwarts, and told Forrest all this, so Forrest used words to test Professor Snape's position and force him to take action. Self-certification.

It was precisely after seeing this that Moon couldn't wait to interrupt the conversation between the two. Professor Snape was in the mood of being shocked by the Dark Mark at that time, and was quite confused.What's more, the choice was already a dilemma for Professor Snape. If Moon had not intervened, there was no guarantee that Forrest would not have sent the information back after confirming that Professor Snape had rebelled.

Although in Voldemort's view, Snape was a double agent, in the original book, the thing that Professor Snape did most to win Voldemort's trust was that he killed Dumbledore. This has not happened yet, and no one can guarantee it. Will Voldemort conclude that Professor Snape is traitorous, or will his confidence in him be greatly reduced?

Once this happens, everything will change dramatically.

From the current point of view, many things have changed a lot, not to mention that what Moon will do next will undoubtedly change the plot step by step beyond recognition. Because of this, he must try to avoid this kind of situation that is not in him. The occurrence of planned, destructive situations.

Good thing Forest Dempsey is dead.

Moon turned over a page of the book and raised his head to look at the fire. To be precise, it was the kitten lying in front of the fire.

Originally, he just wanted to avenge his aunt and help Randall by the way, but when Forrest revealed the Dark Mark, he had to die.

The only problem is... at the moment when Voldemort has not yet gained a physical form or regained his mana...

Who branded Forrest Dempsey with the Dark Mark?

-

Chapter 112 Peeves-style flattery

There are still three days left before the Halloween party.

On October 28th, scattered light snow suddenly appeared in the sky, and the howling cold wind blew in waves. The little wizards of Hufflepuff fell into a mood that they were unwilling to leave the common room even if they died. ——Although it's snowing and it's really beautiful outside, the problem is that it's a little too cold outside without a warm fireplace and a soft sofa.

Moon put on a mask of pain. Unlike others, he had to leave the common room because there was a new issue of the school newspaper to be published tomorrow waiting for him to review in the school newspaper office.

After putting on his robe and scarf, Munn reluctantly walked out of the common room with heavy steps.As soon as he stepped into the corridor, a small gust of wind blew by, making him shiver.

"Damn weather..." The boy sighed heavily, rubbed his face with his hands, and walked quickly towards the second floor.

Gal and Arlin were still enjoying a warm and comfortable sleep, and even Cedric could curl up in bed and read a book.

Only him.
