Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 365 Bouncy's Roundtable Meeting

Let's go back two hours.

After Bouncy brought back the food from the auditorium, Mrs. Lorice and Laifu arrived at the dormitory on time.

Then the three little animals convened the first ever gathering of magical creatures at Hogwarts.

Before the party started, Beng Beng took out three sets of silver cutlery from his pocket.

These exquisite tableware items were "tributes" it received on Starfall Island.

The most exquisite set was specially commissioned by Lynn Bailey from a goldsmith and is engraved with images of Bouncy and Moon.

Arrange the tableware on the box, and then neatly place the food on top.

Mrs. Lorris and Raphael leaped onto the box.

"Chirp chirp~" (I've also prepared special drinks for you.)
Seeing all his good friends arrive, Beng Beng said with a mysterious look on his face.

Then he lowered his head and started rummaging through the small pocket on his stomach.

A moment later, it took out a bottle of green liquid.

He pulled out the cork and slowly poured it into the small glass in front of Mrs. Lorris.

As the liquid slowly flowed from the bottle, Mrs. Lorris gently sniffed it.

He then buried his head in the cup and started licking it wildly with his tongue.

"Meow~" (Delicious, smells so good!)

This green liquid is the juice of the Ba Mao grass that Beng Beng collected from the Spirit Tree Tribe.

It tastes just like catnip from around the world.

When he has nothing to do, Beng Beng also likes to have a drink or two.

The fruit wine prepared for Raphael was homemade by the tribe, made to better suit the toad's taste.

Bengbeng even caught a few small snails and put them in.

"Gurgle~" (Bounce, you're simply the smartest animal in the magical world! You can even make drinks for two-legged creatures.)
Upon hearing what Toad Raphael said, Mrs. Loris immediately looked up warily.

Noticing that Bouncy really enjoyed the compliments, it immediately abandoned the grass water and came over to wrap its tail around Bouncy.

"Meow~" (Don't you dare mess with her, Bouncy is my best friend.)
"Gurgle~" (She's also my best friend, so I'll definitely help watch the box!)
Snail fruit wine is very appealing to Lefèvre.

As it drank, it didn't forget to pat the box under its feet with its front paws.

I wanted to use this method to tell the two animals in front of me that I would also try my best.

This morning, after Mrs. Lorris arrived, the gray mouse Spotted scurried out of the dormitory in a sorry state.

Leif was also alerted at the same time.

Then the three magical creatures discussed their latest "mouse-catching plan".

"Meow" (Actually, there was no need for a meeting at all; it was just my mistake this morning.)
As Mrs. Lorris spoke, she looked at Bouncy in the tail circle.

"Meow~" (Actually, if it weren't for the great Mr. Scarlett stopping me last year, I would have already swallowed this gray mouse whole.)
Around this time last year, Lady Lorice was also chasing after Spotty the gray mouse in the castle with Bouncy.

It was only after Moon's intervention that the two little animals reluctantly gave up.

Mrs. Lorris clearly missed the experience, and as she spoke, she showed off her sharp front paws.

At the same time, he glared fiercely at the toad in front of him, who was only focused on drinking.

The threat in his eyes was very clear: he was warning the other person not to steal the credit.

"Croak~" (Don't worry, I'm no match for the gray mouse in a head-on confrontation.)
Lai Fu was very self-aware.

Even though he was already quite drunk, he was very clear about the limits of his abilities.

"Coo-coo~" (However, I can provide a map of all the pipe routes in the castle.)
Lai Fu let out a burp as he spoke.

Then, he proudly recounted his glorious experiences from the previous year to the two animals.

Ever since he came to Hogwarts with Neville, Leif has been thinking about how to escape from here all the time.

In order to find the best escape route, it has even explored every passage in the castle.

"Meow~" (But there are some passages I can't squeeze into!)
Lady Lorris was well aware that the castle’s dense network of pipes was perfect for rats to escape.

However, fighting in such a confined space is not its forte.

Thinking this, Mrs. Lorris became even more certain that the ugly toad in front of her was trying to compete with her for the chance to perform in front of Bouncy.

Should we swallow this toad?

After sensing the murderous intent emanating from the Maine Coon, Lai Fu immediately sobered up considerably.

"Gurgle~" (Don't worry, I can block it in the pipe and yell to let you know, then you can eat it.)
I heard that I still need to put in the effort myself.

Mrs. Lolita then returned to her plate, satisfied, to continue enjoying her meal.

It also casually smacked the sensible toad with its tail.

"Chirp chirp~" (I think we can put catching mice on hold for now.)
As soon as Beng Beng made a sound, both pets looked up at it with confusion.

"Croak?" (Why? Didn't this mouse steal something?) Lai Fu asked first.

"Meow~" (That's right, bad pets deserve to be eaten by me!)
Mrs. Lorris clearly inherited Filch's tyrannical temper.

They absolutely cannot tolerate any pets that break the rules and roam freely in the castle.

"Chirp chirp~" (I know, but I always feel like this mouse is hiding something.)
As it spoke, Beng Beng recalled the events of the day when it went to find the giant squid.

Having not seen this enormous and magical creature for two months, Bouncy specially stored a lot of seafood on Star Ember Island to bring back to it.

The giant squid reciprocated by sharing many profound truths with Bouncy.

Although there are some truths to this, Beng Beng still doesn't understand.

However, it clearly remembered that the giant squid said it was definitely abnormal for a mouse to act for anything other than food.

It was precisely because of this sentence that Beng Beng changed his original plan.

It now desperately wants to know why the gray mouse, Spotted, wants to steal things from its own two-legged creature.

"Croak~" (So what do you want to do? Are you going to dig up the mouse's secrets?)
Lai Fu said something curiously, and Mrs. Loris looked over in surprise.

To this Maine Coon cat, the secret of mice is nothing more than destruction and mischief.

Simply swallowing them will stop all the chaos.

As for the secrets of the rat, it had no interest in knowing anything about them.

"Squeak!" (I don't need the mouse's secrets, I just want to eliminate the big bad guy behind the mouse.)
"Croak?" (The villain behind the mouse? Is it that red-haired two-legged creature?)

"Chirp chirp~" (Not Ron, the giant squid said that person is very powerful.)
"Gugua~" (Oh, that can't be it.)
Upon hearing Bouncing use the word "powerful," Laifu immediately ruled out Ron.

"Meow~" (What do you need us to do?)
Mrs. Lorris did not want to find out the reason behind this.

All it knows is that it just needs to do what Bouncy wants.

Just like last year when we were catching mice, Bengbeng rode on its back and gave instructions. It only needed to obey and do as it was told, chasing the mouse all over the place.

Having learned from this success, it decided to listen to Bung Bung again this year.

Just as Bengbeng was about to reveal his plan, Mu En suddenly pushed open the door and walked into the dormitory.

The three pets all looked at him at once, making Moon subconsciously think that he had interrupted a sacred meeting.

"Chirp?" (Need help?)
Hearing Beng Beng's question, Mu En shook off the absurd images in his mind.

"Not for now, but what are you guys talking about?"

Watching the three pets sitting upright and enjoying their food, Moon was incredibly curious. "Chirp chirp~" (We're discussing how to catch mice.)
"A mouse! Is it Spotted?"

As Mu En spoke, he began searching around the dormitory.

He had a deep impression of the gray mouse; ever since they met on the train, the mouse seemed to be deliberately avoiding him.

He usually either sleeps in Ron's pocket or wanders around the castle.

In short, we must not give Moon a chance to encounter it.

This made Moon suspicious of Banban.

Especially after hearing from Bouncy that the gray mouse wanted to steal the notebook from the box, Moon realized that something was wrong.

Now, hearing that the three pets were actually plotting to deal with it, Moon became somewhat interested.

Just as Moon was about to ask about the specifics, the young wizards returned to their dormitories one after another.

Watching Neville carry Rafer away, Mrs. Lorris also gracefully left the Gryffindor common room with her cat-like steps.

It also has to catch students wandering around the castle at night, and this time of day is just when it goes to work.

Seeing his friends leave, he hopped onto Moon's shoulder and gently stroked the two-legged creature's hair.

"Chirp chirp~" (Don't worry, I've already asked Fox and the giant squid for help. I can catch the mouse myself.)
Listening to Beng Beng's words, Mu En suddenly felt like his child had grown up.

But listening to Beng Beng's tone and his actions of comforting himself, Moon felt as if he were the child.

"Alright, in that case, you can keep this box."

Considering the terrifying combat power of Phoenix Fox and the giant squid, Moon's level of importance placed on the laptop has decreased considerably.

Although he knew the notebook was related to the Dark Lord, Moon didn't think it could be more powerful than those two magical creatures.

However, on the other hand, with these two powerful magical creatures guarding the notebook, Moon can extract more information from it.

Last time, the notebook suggested using a combination of the Confusion Charm and the Fiendfire Charm to disrupt the Federation's plans and take the opportunity to rescue people.

Although this plan is somewhat rough, it is still a good method.

With this plan in mind, Moon naturally had to learn these two spells.

The Confusion Charm is relatively easy to deal with; twins are certainly very good at using this kind of charm, which can be used directly for pranks.

Moon has now approved their application for spell experiments, and they can also learn the Confusion Spell from them.

However, learning the [Fierce Fire Spell] is not so simple.

Moon had already inquired with the older students and learned that this magic was not taught in the school curriculum.

I've heard that some Slytherin students from pure-blood families possess this spell.

Moon's relationship with them wasn't very good, so that path wouldn't work either.

Therefore, the best course of action now is to go and learn from Professor Snape.

After all, Moon had a tradition of exchanging materials for spells with the other party.

"But what materials will we use to exchange for them this time?"

Moon thought for a moment and pulled out the briefcase from under the bed.

After searching inside for a while, I finally found a bottle of golden liquid.

After taking out a small bottle from it, Moon smiled with satisfaction.

"That's right, things are valued for their scarcity, this should be enough."

The next day, after all the classes were over, Moon went to the basement with the small bottle in his hand.

Before even getting close to Snape's office door, Moon could smell the familiar scent of potions.

"Wolfsbane potion again. Is Professor Snape planning to become the savior of the werewolves?"

After knocking on the office door and receiving permission, Moon pushed the door open and entered.

"What, are you out of potions in your shop?"

Since agreeing to help Moon brew potions, Snape has brewed three batches of potions during the summer vacation.

This significantly shortened the time he spent researching wolfsbane medicine.

Although Moon offered him very generous rewards, Snape preferred to immerse himself in the world of potion research.

"Professor, how could you think of me like that? I even brought you some good stuff."

As he spoke, Moon pulled a small bottle from his pocket, the golden liquid inside gleaming under the light.

Snape only glanced at it once, but he couldn't look away.

"The medicine bottle is flying!"

As soon as the phrase "Flying Spell" left his lips, Moon felt a tremendous attraction pulling the medicine bottle away from his hand.

"What is this? I've never seen it before."

Snape uncorked the bottle and gently sniffed it.

Then, still not entirely confident, he used his wand to draw out a sliver of liquid and applied it to the area between his thumb and forefinger.

After observing it carefully for a long time, I still couldn't figure out what the material was.

"Professor, this is the spinal fluid of a large snake. I went to great lengths to obtain this material."

"Snake spur fluid, and it's golden yellow, that's really rare."

Snape was clearly very fond of this magical material.

After all, each new unknown material he learns about represents a significant step forward in his potion-making abilities.

However, after admiring the view for only a short while, Snape suddenly looked at Moon standing next to him.

"You're not going to give me such precious materials for free, are you?"

"Hehe, Professor, you are welcome to stay if you like."

When Moon said those words, Snape's face was full of doubt.

"Of course, I would be very happy if you could teach me a simple little spell."

Hearing Moon say something that took an unexpected turn.

Snape gave me a look that said, "Just as I expected."

"I told you long ago that you belong to Slytherin, but you just wouldn't believe me."

As he spoke, Snape placed the small bottle of potion on the medicine cabinet, which was filled with all the rare materials he had collected.

"For the sake of the potion, tell me, what spell do you want to learn?"

"Fire Curse".

Snape paused for a moment, then turned to look at Moon seriously.

"Don't you know that dark magic can corrupt people's minds?"

"know."

"Knowing that you have to learn dark magic, aren't you afraid of turning yourself into a quirky dark wizard?"

Hearing Snape's slightly threatening words, Moon smiled and pointed to his head.

"Professor, you should know its power better than I do."
