Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 368 The Curse That Draws Attention

Moon certainly knew that the bouncy creature had a large stockpile of black squid liquid.

However, he did not plan to ask for it directly.

After all, guarding laptops mainly relies on hopscotch, so it's not a problem to learn more control techniques.

"There are more than just these two things that can make it obey. If the notebook really makes you angry, you can give it directly to Dumbledore, or Fawkes, or the giant squid."

Moon knew, of course, that Dumbledore was certainly capable of destroying the magical notebook.

The reason he didn't hand it over to the other party was simply because he wanted to learn some knowledge about defense against dark magic from the notebook.

After all, the professors the school found were really not very impressive.

Of course, judging from the preferences of the bouncy creature, it is more likely to be given to Fox or the giant squid.

Judging from the power of these two magical creatures, dealing with a notebook would be a piece of cake.

Looking at the tattered parchment scattered on the ground, Moon opened the notebook again.

At that very instant, a plea for mercy appeared on the screen.

Please stop torturing me. Just tell me what's wrong.

Seeing that the other party's arrogant tone had completely disappeared, Moon took out a quill and began to talk.

"So do you know where you went wrong?"

[Wrong! What's wrong?]

A row of question marks appeared on the notebook.

Moon felt that the guy lying inside still wasn't being sincere.

There was a squeak.

He tore off a piece of parchment and casually tossed it into the crucible.

I was wrong! I was wrong!

"Okay, now you know where you went wrong?"

[Could this be a reminder?]

"You were the one who gave me the idea to use the Fiendish Flame Curse to create chaos."

[That's right, the Fiery Curse will definitely meet your requirements.]

"A request!? Ha, what a joke! Do you know how many people will die in this? Even the people I save might die in there, and maybe even myself. Only a wicked black wizard would use such a method."

Moon quickly wrote down a long passage in a very unfriendly tone.

Coco, I am the dark wizard.

This time it was Moon's turn to remain silent.

He truly hadn't expected that, from the Dark Lord's perspective, using Fiendfyre seemed to pose absolutely no problem.

The notebook seemed to have guessed Moon's thoughts, and as the old text disappeared, new text quickly appeared.

[You...you're torturing me like this just because I said one thing?]

"Well, don't worry about the details. At least now we know each other's background, which will be beneficial for further cooperation."

Moon's writing speed was a little slow.

You know my background, but I still don't understand what's going on in your head!

Looking at the words on the notebook, Moon did not respond to the other party.

I closed the laptop and tossed it into the box, then added another lock.

Even though Moon now has four or five ways to directly destroy the opponent, the necessary precautions still need to be taken.

Click~
As the last lock closed, Moon and Bouncy exchanged a smile.

I just conducted an experiment that made both the human and the beast aware of the laptop's weaknesses.

With such countermeasures, they could feel safe keeping this evil guy by their side.

Of course, compared to others, Bungbung might be less susceptible to being seduced.

After all, the Niffler can't write, so it's safer to have it guard the notebook.

"You can lock the notebook in the box for now. As for the mouse, be sure to notify me if you find any trace of it."

"Chirp~" (No problem, will you return it to the red-haired two-legged creature?)
"Not for now. I think that rat probably has some secrets too. I'll tell Ron after I've finished investigating."

"Chirp?" (A secret?)
“That’s right. Normally, pets wouldn’t approach a laptop on their own initiative, but Banban actually tried to snatch it, which means it’s closely related to the thing inside the laptop. We can’t let our guard down.”

"Chirp chirp!" (Don't worry, leave it to me.)
Hearing Moon's serious tone, he thumped his chest loudly and accepted this glorious task.

Of course, Moon didn't plan to leave this entirely to Bouncy and the others.

After all, a pet that has a relationship with the Dark Lord is definitely not a simple matter.

Considering the characteristics of rats, Moon felt that the Moonlight Herbal Potion should be of great help to him.

Thinking of this, Moon took out the potion that Cedric had given him.

The dorm is now empty, so I can finally experience the power of this potion.

In addition to moonflower as its main ingredient, Moonlight Herbal Elixir also contains feline eyeball extract, thestral feathers, moonstone powder, and datura juice.

These materials are not cheap at Diagon Alley pharmacies.

Moonflower, in particular, is very difficult to find a complete, surviving plant in the whole of Britain.

Moreover, the method of making this potion is very complicated, and the process alone takes a month.

Based on this estimate, the cost of Moonlight Herbal Potion in Moon's possession is at least 100 Galleons.

Cedric's willingness to give to Moon is enough to prove the friendship between the two.

Moonlight Herbal Elixir is silvery-white in color, and its faint fluorescence can be seen even in the dimly lit dormitory.

Upon opening the stopper on the medicine bottle, a mixture of plant fragrance and the distinctive smell of metal wafted out.

Moon sniffed it lightly and knew that it was the scent of moongrass and moonstone.

Under Beng Beng's watchful gaze, Moon drank it down in one gulp, then smacked his lips.

"This tastes really too bitter."

With Cedric's reminder, Moon was already prepared.

After drinking the potion, Moon stuffed a free candy from Honey Duke's Candy House into his mouth.

As the sweetness of the candy melted on the tip of the tongue, the effects of the potion appeared immediately.

At the same time, a chill ran through Moon's body.

The blood vessels and muscles in my body felt tense, and my body temperature dropped accordingly.

At the same time, Moon could clearly feel the muscles within his pupils contracting rapidly.

All objects in the field of vision were rapidly stretched and magnified, and the originally narrow shadows also expanded rapidly.

And within these shadows, there are all sorts of strange fluorescent patterns.

Recalling Cedric's warning, Moon raised his wand and instantly turned off the lights in the dormitory.

The shadow instantly spread throughout the entire dormitory room.

It was at this moment that the originally thin fluorescent lines rapidly expanded.

As the fluorescent area expands, the area of ​​the shadow is squeezed smaller and smaller until finally, the entire dormitory is covered in fluorescence.

"This is amazing! Is this night vision?"

At this moment, there was no darkness left in Moon's field of vision.

Even the shadows under the bed appeared to him as bright as a spotlight.

Moon looked around the dormitory room with curiosity, then quickly walked towards the window.

This dormitory room, less than 30 square meters, is simply not enough to measure the limits of night vision capabilities.

As Moon looked out the window.

The once pitch-black night outside the castle was now undisturbed.

At this time of day, all the lights in the castle square had been turned off, but in Moon's eyes, it was no different from daytime.

He could even see small animals crossing the lawn, probably pet cats and raccoons kept by students.

Outside the castle, the Black Lake, which normally only reflected starlight at night, was now fully revealed in Moon's eyes.

In the more distant Forbidden Forest, it would normally be pitch black and nothing could be seen once night fell.

Now, in Moon's view, the scene was exactly the same as at dusk. "It seems that the effective range of night vision is only about 100 meters, and the effect becomes worse the farther away, but it should be enough for me for now."

Moon is next on his way to rescue people in Jinglan City.

With night vision, he could observe the guards' movements in advance.

This would allow Moon to anticipate and respond in advance.

In addition to night vision, Moon discovered that his eyes could capture even more subtle movements.

For example, with small flying insects indoors, Moon could only see their shadows flying around before.

Now we can not only see the structure of the flying insect's body and the frequency of its wing movements, but we can even use this information to predict the flying insect's next flight path.

“Cedric is right, this ability might actually help him beat Harry in Quidditch.”

Moon released his hand as he spoke, and a flying insect quickly flew away from his palm.

The potion is very powerful, but it is not without its drawbacks.

According to Cedric, this night vision ability can only be maintained for about an hour each day.

The first time you use the potion, night vision will be activated.

To activate this night vision capability in the future, it will be necessary to use a corresponding spell.

"Cat's Eye Spell? The name is quite fitting."

This spell was the auxiliary spell that Cedric copied for Moon.

After recalling the details of the spell, Moon succeeded on his first try.

Having mastered the spell, Moon left the dormitory and went to the common room, wanting to test his night vision ability once again.

He had just finished chanting the incantation when he discovered the gray rat hiding among the feet of the crowd.

The gray rat also saw Moon at the same time.

Before Moon could do anything, the rat scurried along the corner of the wall into an inconspicuous black hole.

Immediately afterwards, Moon heard the croaking of a toad coming from the hole in the wall.

However, the cry was not joyful, but rather very pitiful.

"What are you looking at?"

Harry had just returned from registering with Hermione when he saw Moon standing there, staring blankly at the corner of the wall.

He followed Moon's gaze but didn't find anything interesting.

"Oh, it's nothing, just a few little things fighting."

As Moon finished speaking, Mrs. Lorris quickly darted into the common room.

At the same time, a toad, clutching its injured right foot, jumped out of the hole.

"Meow~" (You're so weak, you can't even stop a mouse.)
"Croak!" (Your nose isn't very good either; you didn't even notice it was in the common room!)

"Meow~" (How can you blame me! These two-legged creatures went to class all day and didn't even wash their feet.)

Moon ignored the fight between the two pets and turned to look at Harry, who had been waiting.

"By the way, are you sure you want to participate in the experiment?"

"Of course, Professor Flitwick praised me for having great potential."

Listening to Harry's explanation, Moon didn't know how to refute it.

To encourage young wizards to actively participate in this spell grading experiment.

Professor Flitwick was generous with praise for almost everyone in class.

This also allowed the young wizards to experience what it felt like to be a "good student".

Of course, some of these junior wizards are quite capable.

For example, Harry's "Upside-Down Bell" move is practiced very well.

There's also Seamus's [Thunder Explosion], which, although less powerful, can always detonate the wrong thing at the wrong time.

As for Ron, who wanted to participate in the experiment using the Minor Curse, Professor Flitwick did not refuse and even encouraged him to give it a try.

Professor Flitwick rejected the "dark magic" created by the twins.

There is only one reason.

"Slug spray? That spell is too inelegant."

Professor Flitwick's comment reminded Moon of his other profession.

The person in charge of the school choir.

Perhaps it is precisely because of their shared pursuit of music and magic.

Professor Flitwick reluctantly refused the curse, which could potentially bring disaster to the future of the wizarding world.

In addition, there are some first-year students who want to participate in the experiment.

However, none of these people meet the criteria for participating in the experiment.

According to the rules set by Professor Flitwick, in order to participate in the practice, one must master at least three basic spells.

For first-year students who have just started school, there is absolutely no chance.

But some young wizards don't want to give up.

Ginny has been cramming on Percy's knowledge of spells for the past two days.

You can also see these young wizards, who should be playing, sitting there diligently reading in the library.

Meanwhile, the little wizard who asked Bouncy for an autograph at the welcome party, Colin Crevey, found Moon.

Moon has already given the other party two spells.

However, Colin's talent wasn't that great.

I still haven't memorized the basic wand-waving motions, and my spells are a complete mess.

The pitch and phrasing are a complete disaster.

"Senior, when casting [Fluorescent Blink], should the wand pause at the end?"

Little Colin spotted Moon and immediately ran over.

However, when he saw Harry there, he immediately forgot about learning spells.

He put the wand in his pocket and casually raised the camera hanging around his neck.

"Mr. Harry Potter, may I take a picture of you? It was such a shame I didn't see you at the opening banquet."

"Uh, okay."

Click~
As the camera shutter was pressed.

Colin immediately ran to Harry's side.

"They all say you're the boy who survived a great calamity because you defeated the Dark Lord. Is that true?"

"I was very young then and don't remember anything."

Seeing the two wizards chatting happily, Moon didn't disturb them and went straight to Hermione's workplace.

By this time, the crowd surrounding the little witch had gradually dispersed, and Hermione's notebook was filled with densely packed registration information.

"You've come at the right time. I've already tallied up 107 students who will participate in the experiment. When do you plan to conduct the evaluation?"

Moon casually took the notebook handed to him, glanced through it, and found that the information recorded inside was very detailed.

The names, ages, colleges, and experimental spells of the personnel are all recorded.

After flipping through several pages, Moon gradually lost interest in the list.

Although there were many participants, the variety of spells was pitifully small.

Most people chose basic spells, including the Light Charm, Fire Charm, Levitation Charm, and Lockpicking Charm.

As for the third-grade students, there are more types.

[Petrification Spell], [Blazing Flames], [Flying Spell], [Repair Spell].

Moon had already mastered all of these, and could even use them silently.

Although Moon was very confident in his assessment of these curses.

But there was nothing he could learn from it.

Until he turned to the last page, a spell caught Moon's attention.
