Harry Potter and the Burnt Badger

"Then I'll leave mine to you too."

Moon looked at the three lazy roommates who settled into their seats as soon as they entered the compartment. He couldn't help but roll his eyes and used a moving spell to place all four of their suitcases on the luggage rack.

"Ha, if you ask me, Munn is definitely suitable for shopping with girls - you don't have to carry a bag." Gal gave a thumbs up to Munn. "When my mother met Munn, she learned that Munn has this skill. If you do, you will definitely like him very much.”

Moon was too lazy to talk to him. The Movement Spell was not a profound spell at all. In fact, Cedric, Garr, and Arlin had all learned it, but except for Cedric, the other two were still a little unskilled. That’s all.

The train was driving in the wilderness. After a while, Gal looked out the window and suddenly said: "So, we won't see each other again until September?"

"Yes, and I won't miss you." Yaerlin poked Gal's shoulder and said with a playful smile, "But I can send you a few letters."

Gal rarely quarreled with Yaerlin, but said seriously: "Then I will miss you too, I mean, miss you, everyone."

Moon and Cedric smiled knowingly, while Arlin looked defeated. After a few seconds, he finally admitted helplessly: "Okay, I will miss you too."

The four little wizards looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, I didn’t know who was the one who started it, and they all burst out laughing together inexplicably.

And the train, which had gradually become familiar with them, was heading home as usual.

★Volume [-] Song of the Avengers★

Chapter 1 Little Shafiqs

"Brother Moon~" Early in the morning, Hesper and Quaid excitedly ran over and knocked on Moon's door. Naturally, Owen, a little follower who has always been everywhere, stood at his house. Behind his brother and sister, but at this moment, he looked a little unhappy.

How could young Master Ouen, who always "smiles at life", be unhappy?

The reason is actually very simple, because in September of this year, his sister Hesper and brother Quaid will also go to Hogwarts - in this way, he will become the oldest child in the family. .

Moreover, he could no longer drag Brother Quaid to get into trouble with him, nor could he snatch Sister Hesper's ice cream and candies anymore. It was even unrealistic to follow the two of them everywhere.

Boo!

Owen puffed up his mouth, hoping in his heart that he could grow up faster, and he didn't have to be too big, as long as he could go to Hogwarts with Brother Moon and the others.

Is this too much for a cute little guy like him?No, this is not excessive at all.

There's just no way to achieve it...

The sound of Munn's footsteps came from the room. After a while, the door was opened from the inside. With a tired look and a yawn, Munn forced himself to say good morning to his three younger brothers and sisters - exactly. Actually, there are four, because Olanda, who is already four years old, is lying behind the stair railing and staring quietly at this side, looking like a little secret agent.

Moon had just opened the door when Quaid and Hesper pulled Owen and rushed in cheering. Olanda was a little moved, but seemed a little shy.Moon looked at the little figure hiding behind the stairs, couldn't help but smile and waved gently.

The little girl's eyes lit up with pink makeup, and she hurriedly climbed the last step. Then she walked quickly towards Munn with her short legs and open arms.

Immediately afterwards, Munn picked her up and held her in his arms, leading her into the room.

"Ah, Olanda." The Hesper trio, who had already found a place to sit down in Munn's room, were all stunned when they saw Olanda, because the three of them had not noticed the secretly following Olanda. Olanda in the back: "Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be sleeping at this time?"

While Oranda held Munn's neck with her short little hands, she said in a sweet voice, "Dana kicked me awake. He is not a good sleeper."

Several people were immediately overjoyed, and Owen finally stopped being depressed and said with amusement: "Dana is not being honest when he sleeps. I saw him sleeping on the bed two days ago and then he turned over."

The two little guys, Olanda and Dana, are twins. After their birthdays this year, they started to sleep in a bigger bed. However, because they are actually only four years old, they still share a room. , sleep in the same bed, otherwise this kind of thing would not happen.

"I want to sleep with Sister Hesper." Olanda muttered, "Brother Moon is fine too, but I don't want to sleep with Dana anymore."

"You can tell your Uncle Golov, although I don't think he will agree." Quaid, who looked quite strong, suggested: "But he might be willing to let Buffy help create a gap between you and Dana. Fence.”

Olanda thought seriously for two seconds, and then shook his head in frustration, "It's better not to do it, otherwise Dana will kick on the railing and maybe frost himself."

"It's 'hurt yourself'." Owen corrected the error in Oranda's words. "What you just said sounded like Dana kicked the railing into a rabbit." [Note 1]

Olanda's pronunciation was a bit inaccurate, and when she just said that sentence, she was shaking her head and adjusting her posture to be more comfortable in Moon's arms, so she directly pronounced the word Arrive at grandma's house.And she herself had obviously realized this. She blushed and wanted to pretend that nothing happened to cover it up.As a result, when Ou En corrected her like this, she suddenly felt ashamed to show off to others. She quickly turned her head away and pressed her chin to Moon's shoulder, refusing to turn around even after saying anything.

"Ah this..." Munn couldn't help but carried Olanda to the bedside, and then gently sat on the edge of the bed. He released the hand holding Olanda so that the little girl could stand on his legs. , it is more convenient for her to lie on his shoulder. "So, the reason why you came to see me so early in the morning is..."

"Hesper also wants to hear something related to Hogwarts." Quaid explained: "Uncle Edgar said something about the four houses last night, which made Hesper worried again - —She always thought she would be sorted into Slytherin."

Moon's face darkened, and he immediately decided to go to Uncle Gorov's to "read a book" sometime later.

What kind of intimidation king is he, and he is still promoting a bunch of outdated and outdated ideas? It is simply intolerable. If Uncle Golov did not educate him for half an hour this time, Moon would feel sorry for Hai, who had been anxious for such a long time. Sper.

"Don't listen to Uncle Edgar's nonsense. He graduated many years ago, and Hogwarts is already different now." Moon explained, "Actually, there are many good classmates in Slytherin. Remember me and The school newspaper you mentioned? Several of our partners who run the school newspaper are from Slytherin. Also, didn’t I show you a photo some time ago? That one you said looked interesting The big guy, Gavin Travers, is a Slytherin too."

"You remember, there should be no distinction between houses. This is wrong. What Uncle Edgar said is also wrong. Slytherins are not all bad wizards, and neither are other houses. They are all good wizards. The most fundamental difference between the four houses of Hogwarts should be in character and pursuit, not anything else. Of course, the Hogwarts did once have this kind of... between the houses There was mutual discrimination and hostility, but in the past two years, everything has gotten much better."

Hesper nodded thoughtfully, but still looked a little hesitant.It was obvious that she was not actually against Slytherin, and maybe she even liked it a little bit. What made her fear that she would be sorted into Slytherin was entirely Uncle Edgar's words.

So, Moon smiled again and said: "In addition, you probably haven't talked to Uncle Golov yet? He didn't seem to have mentioned this matter. In fact, Uncle Golov was also from Slytherin College. You don’t think that Uncle Golov is also a bad person, do you?”

At this moment, Hesper finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became completely at ease.

It would be pretty good if she entered the same college as her father?

[Note 1] Olanda makes 'hurt' sound a bit like 'hare' due to her posture and unexplained reasons, and hare means hare.

Chapter 2 Before nightfall

Yes, although Golov Shafik's iconic, farm-like smile always gives people the illusion that "this man is a Hufflepuff", he is actually a real Slytherin. .

Seeing that Hesper was completely relieved, Moon also smiled and turned to look at Quaid and Owen. "What about you two? Do you have any colleges you want to go to? Owen, you can also think about it. Anyway, You will eventually go to Hogwarts in a few years."

What Moon didn't expect was that Owen answered faster than Quaid, and the answer he gave was also a bit beyond Moon's expectations.

"I want to go to Hufflepuff, and I've already thought about it a long time ago." Owen said as he puffed out his chest. "I want to go to Hufflepuff. Even if I am sorted into another house, I will go to Hufflepuff." Going to Hufflepuff."

"Why?" Moon looked at Owen strangely. Judging from this boy's restless character, he is actually more suitable for Gryffindor, and most likely he will also prefer Gryffindor's style.

"Huh?" Owen also looked at Moon strangely, as if his choice was not strange at all. "Is this strange? Brother Moon, aren't you a Hufflepuff student?"

"Uh..." Moon was speechless for a moment. He really didn't expect Ooen to give such a reason.How to put it, it does seem a bit natural, but when you think about it carefully, it seems a bit strange. After all, since he was a child, he felt that Ern was a little wizard with a strong Gryffindor feel.

However, in any case, Moon was a little touched by Owen's reason.

"I kind of want to go to Gryffindor, but if I have a choice, I'd better go to Slytherin." Quaid chewed the gummy and grinned. "Otherwise, if Hesper is alone in Slytherin, She might get bored. Besides, if she gets bullied, I can protect her."

"Then what should you do if you can't beat the people who bully Hesper?" Moon looked at Quaid jokingly, and Quaid spread his hands and said decisively and simply: "Go find Brother Moon. "

Moon laughed loudly and quickly tapped his chest with his hand, as if he was wrapping it around me.Unexpectedly, Olanda, who had been secretly watching them, followed suit and wanted to hit his chest, but accidentally punched Munn on the side of his face.

This was so good that Olanda himself was startled by his magical punch. He quickly held Munn's cheeks with his two small hands and blew and rubbed them.Moon comforted Olanda with a dumbfounded expression, while Owen laughed and said, "It seems that if Olanda bullies Hesper, Quaid, you will have no choice but to go find my father." [Note 1]

Hesper and Quaid couldn't help but nodded, and then Hesper said, "Fortunately, I think Olanda won't have the heart to bully me, right?"

"Eh?" Olanda, who was suddenly cued by Hesper, turned her head blankly, blinked her big watery eyes, and looked innocent, making all her brothers and sisters laugh again. Voice.

…………

In the afternoon, after learning from Moon about Edgar's "intimidating behavior" toward Hesper and several other children, Golov went over with a dark face and scolded Edgar for a full half hour.In the past, Moon and the others might have interceded for Edgar (assuming Edgar didn't make any weird mistakes), but today, several little guys hid aside and watched the show happily. ——How come Edgar still doesn’t understand what’s going on?He had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky, lowered his head obediently and allowed Gorov to preach.

After having had enough of scolding and helping a few children to relieve their anger, Gorov felt refreshed and contented and waved Edgar away. He chatted with the children for a few more words and then called Munn. , came to the garden of the manor.

"I have to say, Munn, you are very lucky." As soon as he sat down in the garden, Golov looked at Munn with a half-smile and said this to him.

"Huh?" Moon was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized and looked at the sky, "Uncle, what do you mean..."

"Yes, it should be tonight, probably before midnight." Golov nodded lightly. "Although the weather is sunny right now, I guess thunder will sound soon after the sun sets."

Moon glanced at the cloudless sky twice more, and then took a deep breath, "Then I have to prepare well."

"Relax, I will accompany you when the time comes." Golov stepped forward and patted Moon's shoulder gently. "Don't be too stressed."

Moon nodded in agreement, but in fact, he didn't feel too much pressure. After everything was completed step by step, he didn't feel that there was a possibility of failure.What's more, when he had nothing to do a few days ago, he even did a divination, and the result also pointed in a good direction.

Therefore, not only did he not feel nervous at this moment, but he was actually a little eager to try it.

[Note 1] In fact, in the English context, blood brothers generally do not use the title "Brother XX", but often call them by their first names. More often, it is in the wording and tone of conversation. This reflects the age gap and the closeness of the relationship.The reason why the title "Brother XX" appears in the text of this book is because of the difference in language characteristics. In Chinese, such a title can better reflect the characteristics of the relationship between the two people, and it is also commonly used among blood brothers.

Ern is not called "Brother Quaid" here, but directly called "Quaid". This is because although there is a few years difference between Ern, Hesper and Quaid, in fact, the three of them are The relationship between them is more like friends than eldest brothers, so most of the time Owen does not show respect to Quaid and Hesper as brothers. Instead, it is more of an intimacy between friends; in contrast, Moon , although he is not much older than these three younger brothers and sisters, he has been more mature since he was a child and has always taken good care of his younger brothers and sisters. He is more like their elder brother than a simple playmate. Therefore, although all the younger brothers and sisters are equally close and affectionate to him, they are almost always mixed with respect for their elder brother.

When it comes to writing, there will be such a gap in expressions, that is, when younger brothers and sisters call Moon, they will use "Brother Moon" more often, and they will call each other by their first names more often. This is to show that The word changes in the English context that are difficult to express in the Chinese context, as well as the differences in tone and intonation that cannot be expressed in the text, do not mean that Ouen is "ignorant and impolite" bad boy".

Chapter 3 Animagus

Before the summer vacation began and on the day he left Hogwarts, Professor Dumbledore left an envelope to Moon - according to the old man himself, it was Moon's summer gift.

After returning home, Moon opened the envelope the next day and looked at the contents.He thought there would be some letter inside, but in fact, the envelope only contained a key and a simple room layout plan, with a red circle drawn on the corner of the map like a logo.There is a line of small words written below the room layout, indicating the location of this room.

So Moon found Uncle Golov and asked him to take him on a trip.

Great harvest.

It was indeed a dilapidated house. It was unknown who it once belonged to, and no traces could be found in the house, but it was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.Following the markings on the picture, Moon found an empty wardrobe, or rather, an empty wardrobe with hidden storage compartments.

There is a leaf, a small bottle, and a strange moth pupa in the storage compartment.

Before Moon could be confused, Golov said the purpose of this material with slight surprise, as if it was very obvious. [Note 1]

Of course, this thing is not something profound that is difficult to distinguish for Golov, because it is a necessary casting material for becoming an Animagus.

Therefore, the next question before Moon was "to change or not to change."

Moon didn't think there was anything worth hesitating about - since this material was handed over to him "by his own hand" by the old man, it meant that in the old man's opinion, he was already good enough to cast Animagus spells. ; and although Munn actually doesn’t really need the Animagus spell, because there is no doubt that since he is now able to partially transform into a beast, there must be something in the "Magic Book" that can allow him to fully transform into a beast. The spell to transform into a beast, but Moon has not learned this spell yet, and since it can provide an additional method, why not use it?

In this way, when the full moon of June came, Moon took the leaf in his mouth and began the long preparation.

The first stage of casting the spell was from the first full moon to the second full moon. During this period, to be honest, Moon was a bit painful - he had to hold this mandrake leaf in his mouth for a whole month. Time cannot be swallowed or spit out.It was fine at other times, but when going to bed at night, Moon would always worry that he would accidentally use this leaf to "satisfy his hunger."Moreover, it was a bit awkward to eat with a leaf in his mouth. Several younger brothers and sisters once thought he had a pustule in his mouth.

However, Moon's lucky roll apparently succeeded, and probably a big one.The whole casting process went smoothly, and the leaf lay quietly in his mouth for a month.When the next full moon comes, it happens to be a sunny day (if it is cloudy when the full moon comes again, the caster must change a mandrake leaf and hold it for another month).

At this point, Munn completed the first stage of the Animagus spell-casting steps. However, the second stage was even longer because he had to wait for a storm. The problem was that this thing might come today. , it may come tomorrow, it may come half a year later, or it may come a year later, no one can be sure...

Maybe not?

Originally, the achievement of this second stage would not take too long in Munn's mind. A few years ago, he had learned a magic called "Weather Changing Technique" in the "Magic Book" - this magic is unique. The function is to make the weather change.According to what he thought, if the heavy rain never came, he would be ready to use this trick to solve everything.He has been reviewing and trying this magic in the past few days. It is for this reason that when Hesper and the others came to see Munn this morning, Munn looked tired.

But as mentioned before, Moon's luck test was obviously successful, and before he could "use his power", the storm came quietly.

Right now, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

In order to ensure that the spellcasting at night could be completed smoothly, Munn sneaked into the room first, took a short sleep, and did not get up until dusk. Taking advantage of the sunset, he pointed the wand at his heart and recited the incantation:

"AmatoAnimoAnimatoAnimagus. (Amado, Animo, Animado, Animagus)"

From the completion of the first stage to the completion of the second stage, he must recite this spell at sunrise and sunset every day - otherwise, he would be much more accurate during the period of reviewing the weather changing spell. Take a few naps.

During dinner, Ann and Edgar, who already knew that Munn was going to complete the Animagus spell tonight, were obviously more worried than Moon. They would look at Munn from time to time. In contrast, , on the contrary, Golov was the calmest and was always talking and laughing during the dinner.Munn, who noticed that his mother and uncle were worried, kept singing and singing back and forth with Uncle Golov, which finally made An and Edgar feel a little relieved.

Naturally, the younger brothers and sisters didn't know about these messy things. While they were concentrating on cooking, they were amused non-stop by the joking between Golov and Munn.Thinking about it, none of them could have imagined that their brother Moon would become a human being tonight?

Humans have their limits after all, right?

So, two hours later, the first drop of rain finally hit Moon's window.

Moon, who was sitting at the table, gently put down the book in his hand. Before he could stand up, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Moon, are you ready?"

Moon looked as usual, reached out and picked up the wand, then put on a coat, walked to the door, and opened the door.

Golov, Ann and Edgar were all standing outside the door.

"Of course I'm ready." Moon responded with a chuckle: "Don't worry, I'm confident."

Ann and Edgar's expressions became a little more relaxed, and Golov also smiled, "Let's go, let's go up the mountain."

Moon responded and put his hand on Uncle Golov's arm. The three adults raised their wands at the same time and used Disapparation.

The familiar weird feeling came over again, and in the next moment, four figures, three large and one small, appeared on the hill not far outside Shafiq Manor.

[Note 1] Animagus's casting materials and casting conditions did not actually appear in the original novel, but the original author JK Rowling introduced the Animagus's transformation method in the subsequent worldview supplement. The casting materials here are from the supplementary content of Ms. Rowling's world view, and the casting steps mentioned later are the same as above.

Chapter 4 The first transformation

The rainstorm was getting stronger. Golov used his wand to hold up an invisible umbrella, blocking all the raindrops that hit the four people.

There was a muffled thunder rumble in the sky.

The three elders wanted to teach Munn some experience. Unfortunately, none of them were Animagus and had no experience to teach Munn.In desperation, he could only watch Moon quietly from the sidelines and watch him adjust his condition.

Moon closed his eyes and rubbed a coin-shaped metal disc engraved with strange runes in his hand - this was a divination tool he made himself. With this thing, he didn't have to look at the tea leaves or hold out the crystal ball every day. .There are various media for divination, and there is no mandatory limit on what tools should be used. The application is actually quite flexible.
