Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 380 The Hidden Rats
After returning home at midnight that day, Moon was unable to fall asleep for a long time.

Just now, in the military camp in the Federal City of Serene Blue, Moon clearly felt like he was being watched.

Even wearing an invisibility cloak couldn't mask this feeling.

After carefully sensing it, Moon vaguely realized...

This spying magic is related to the corrosion magic that suddenly appeared in his mind some time ago.

The other party must have used the traces of this corrosive magic to pinpoint his location.

However, Moon has now returned to Hogwarts.

Even if the other party is powerful, it's impossible for them to find this place again.

"We still need to speed things up, otherwise it will still be somewhat dangerous in Jinglan City."

Although Moon has reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with Dean Valentine.

However, the other party did not give a clear promise to protect Neil and the people of Veterans Lane.

Therefore, in terms of rescuing people, it will still depend on Moon himself.

While Moon was contemplating his current situation, Bouncy, who had returned with him, began to survey his territory.

"Chirp!" (The lock on the box shows signs of being tampered with!)
Upon hearing this, Mu En immediately got out of bed.

Take out your wand and flash it with a fluorescent light.

They began to inspect each and every lock on the box.

"There are indeed signs that it was opened, but it was only opened three times."

Moon carefully unlocked all the locks as he spoke.

Upon opening the box, the laptop lay inside, perfectly intact.

Even the original placement remained unchanged.

"It hasn't moved. Could it have been scared away by our sudden return?"

Bengbeng stood on the edge of the box, looked at it carefully for a while, and scratched his little head in confusion.

Then they just stared at each other blankly.

"Squeak?" (Is that mouse back? I can smell it here.)
"Banban? If it really is it, then it's understandable that it can only open three locks."

Only three minutes had passed since Moon left this world.

If a wizard were to come, a few [Unlocking Spells], plus some [Spell Stop], would be enough to break the spells he had set up on the box.

But if it's just a mouse, opening three locks is already the limit.

However, this also served as a reminder to Moon.

"We must hide the notebook more carefully, or give it to Dumbledore?"

To be honest, Moon was very reluctant to part with this magical notebook.

After all, acquiring knowledge about defense against the dark arts at Hogwarts is extremely difficult.

This notebook can not only explain this kind of knowledge.

Moreover, it contains the memories of a great demon, which is a huge treasure for Moon.

From the beginning, Moon believed that the notebook contained a memory of Voldemort.

As long as you can learn to squeeze every last drop out of your opponent, you can enhance your own strength.

However, it now seems that he is not the only one who wants to get his hands on the notebook.

"No, why do I feel a little reluctant to part with it?"

When this strange feeling arises.

Moon suddenly woke up.

No matter how precious the notebook was, it couldn't possibly have inspired such feelings in Moon.

Unless there's a major problem with this notebook.

Thinking of this, Moon took another deep look at the box.

"Looks like we have to get rid of this guy."

For some reason, after making this decision, Moon suddenly felt a sense of relief, both physically and mentally.

She fell into a sweet sleep shortly after lying in bed.

Seeing the two-legged creatures asleep, Bouncy also crawled into the little wooden house next to Moon's pillow.

Soon, faint breathing sounds could be heard.

However, what neither of them knew was that just as they returned...

A gray rat had been ordered to leave the dormitory and once again burrowed into Hogwarts' intricate underground passages.

"Harry, Harry, get up quickly."

Early Monday morning.

The dormitory door was pushed open forcefully.

Ignoring the fact that the young wizards were still fast asleep, Wood walked to Harry's bedside and started yelling.

"Hurry up and get up, we have training this morning."

"Oh, Wood."

Harry tried to open his eyes, but his eyelids wouldn't cooperate and wanted to close.

"Isn't it too early now?"

Harry muttered something as he vaguely saw that the sun hadn't risen yet outside the window.

“It’s already 6 o’clock, which is not early. Besides, Moon is already reading and studying in the lounge.”

Hearing Wood's words, Harry rolled over without a care.

“How can we compare to him? Moon was like this all last year!”

"Why can't we compare! How's it going with what I asked you to do to persuade Moon to join the Quidditch team?"

Upon hearing this, Harry suddenly opened his eyes, his expression turning embarrassed.

Ever since reading about Moon's participation in the competition in the newspaper, Wood had been impressed by Moon's reaction speed.

So when school started this year, Wood approached Harry and asked him to persuade Moon to join the Quidditch team.

But a week has passed and Moon has still not given a clear answer.

“Moun didn’t agree. You should know that he’s only interested in magic.”

Harry said, already sitting up in bed.

"Alright, since Moon isn't participating, we'll have to change our tactics and double down on training."

"Oh, no way."

Wood said this as he dragged the reluctant Harry off the bed.

After confirming that the young wizard was fully awake, he immediately left the dormitory and headed towards the other team members' rooms.

Because I have a habit of waking up early.

Moon has already developed a rapport with the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

On the eve of last year's Academy Cup, these team members would get up early and sit in the common lounge waiting to assemble.

During this time, they would chat with each other.

Especially after a while, the twins would often tease Moon about having owl blood in him.

I didn't sleep all night, but I'm still very energetic in the morning.

Of course, most of the time, Moon needs to keep an eye on things for them until the last player arrives.

Then wake them up from their nap on the sofa and leave together.

However, after Hermione also started waking up early, Moon chatted with them less.

Nobody wants to disturb someone who is reading.

Since the start of the school year this year, Colin has also been waking up very early from time to time.

Every time, he would carry that big camera and hop and skip after Harry as he left the common room.

"You're actually reading Rohart's book?"

After greeting Colin, Moon glanced at Hermione sitting next to him.

Then a book with the title "Traveling on a Ship with Vampires" caught Moon's eye.

"His books are very good. The stories are interesting and the plots are vivid. I can learn a lot from them."

Moon frowned slightly.

After hearing Hermione's words, he suddenly felt that this little witch wasn't so smart after all.

"Okay, I really hope you can learn a lot."

Moon knew that people couldn't believe in things outside of their own understanding.

Just like Hermione now, even if Moon said he suspected Rohart was a fraud, Hermione wouldn't believe him.

The best way is to let the little witch discover it herself.

Moon said something casually, then sat back down in his seat and started looking at the magic rune book he had borrowed from the library.

Because the curse on his body has not yet been lifted, learning magic from another world will not bring him any real increase in strength.

Therefore, Moon is now focusing his main efforts on learning Hogwarts magic.

After a whole summer of hard work, plus practical training in another world.

Moon's wizard bar has returned to two squares.

This made Moon even more enthusiastic about learning magic. The morning passed quickly, and after Ron, Neville, and Seamus finished washing up, the group went to the Great Hall together.

While Ron was having breakfast, Errol, the Weasleys' old owl, delivered a howling letter to him.

Because of this letter, Ron became the target of ridicule from the entire school.

Meanwhile, Moon also learned from the contents of the letter that Mr. Weasley was being investigated by the Ministry of Magic.

The reason was that he used magic to modify Muggle items and improperly stored them, causing his children to violate the secrecy law.

"Alright, don't be sad. Since the roaring letter has been sent, it means that the matter is completely over."

Seeing Ron's flushed cheeks, Moon patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

“You have no idea how powerful this letter is. For the next semester, everyone will be laughing at me.”

Ron, who had only been happy for a few days because of the car chase incident, had completely lost his former arrogance.

Seeing the looks from the students around him, Moon also showed a helpless expression.

These minor incidents in life did not have a significant impact on Moon.

He always remembered his goal of learning magic and increasing his strength.

The first class in the morning is herbal medicine class.

Moon had already learned about mandrake at the club beforehand.

However, this did not prevent Moon from studying the material again to deepen his understanding of the knowledge.

The second lesson was Transfiguration.

After moving up to the second year, Professor McGonagall's courses became even more difficult.

This year, their courses have begun to explore shapeshifting magic involving living animals or insects.

Harry and Ron complained every day that they couldn't learn it, and helpless Moon could only try to give them pointers after class.

Today they are going to learn how to turn a beetle into a button.

This magic not only changes the original state of matter.

Moreover, after the transformation was completed, Professor McGonagall continued to suggest that Moon change the buttons into different styles and even add different patterns.

This kind of teaching specifically for Moon made the surrounding students somewhat gloat.

At the same time, they consciously kept their distance from Moon, fearing that if they sat too close, they would receive special attention from Professor McGonagall.

Moon, on the other hand, really enjoyed the feeling of learning.

Moreover, after each time he was strictly instructed by the professors, Moon could vaguely feel his wizard gauge increasing.

It's so great to be able to feel that you're constantly making progress.

Monday afternoon is Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

This lesson has now become Moon's nightmare.

New professor Gilderoy Lockhart.

Besides showing off the contents of his book and boasting about winning the Most Charming Smile Award,

They didn't teach their students even the slightest bit about defense against dark magic.

This is one of the reasons why Moon didn't want to give away the notebook before.

"Alright, students, welcome to Professor Gilderoy Lockhart's magic class."

Because this classroom leads directly to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office on the third floor.

Every time Lockhart appears, she chooses a specific pose, just like she's putting on a show on television.

Today he wore a sky-blue magic robe, spotless and immaculate.

"Before class, we'll have a short quiz."

"Does anyone remember what Professor Lockhart's favorite color was?"

As Rohart stomped down the stairs.

Several female students quickly raised their hands, with Hermione being the most enthusiastic.

"Sky blue!"

“That’s right. It seems that Miss Granger has already seen the fifth chapter of ‘Breaking Up with the Ghost’.”

"Does anyone else know what Professor Rohart's lucky number is?"

Listening to knowledge that has absolutely nothing to do with magic.

Moon quietly drew his wand and cast a spell on himself to "Block Hearing and Hearing".

Then he focused on reading the books he had borrowed from the library.

Ten minutes later.

Only when Rohart lifted the black cloth covering the cage did Moon break the spell on him.

"This is the material we'll be using for today's lesson."

"Don't underestimate these guys just because they're not tall; they're masters of pranks."

The cage was crammed with about thirty or forty Cornish elves.

This is exactly the same situation Moon encountered in the summer tournament.

Watching Rohart reach out to open the cage door.

Moon tried to stop him, but it was too late.

The cage door had barely opened a crack when the little elves rushed out.

Rohart, standing behind the cage door, was also startled.

"Oh, look at them! They're so lively. Now I'll teach you how to tame them."

Rohart crouched down to avoid the sprite's ambush, forcing a smile onto his face.

Seeing the little elf flying rapidly towards Neville, Moon suddenly shoved his classmate under the table.

Some sprites tried to attack Moon, but were immediately repelled by his [Mirror Light Spell].

Moon wanted to see how Rohart would handle the situation.

After searching for a long time, I finally spotted a corner of a sky-blue wizard's robe under the lectern.

The classroom was in complete chaos.

The little wizards were all being chased around by Cornish elves.

Some of these little blue creatures are scratching their ears, while others are scratching their noses and hair.

Some even pull the little wizard into the air.

The unorganized young wizards were no match for them.

Looking at the chaotic scene, Moon reluctantly drew his wand.

As two [Petrification Spells] were cast, the two little sprites that attacked him fell to the ground.

"Well done, Mr. Scarlett. Now I have an assignment for you, ah~"

Lockhart had barely finished speaking when he noticed a sprite flying towards him, so he immediately scurried back under his desk.

"Oh, get out of here. Next, you're going to, oh, catch all the little sprites, oh, and put them back in their cages. Get out of here!"

After discovering that even the desk couldn't stop the elves, Rohart hurriedly crawled out and ran out of the classroom.

The other young wizards followed suit and went out as well.

Only a few of Moon's classmates remained standing there unharmed.

"How to do?"

Ron asked, bewildered.

"Of course, we should take action and deal with them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Moon continuously cast the Petrification Spell.

Hermione cast the Freeze Curse, Harry cast the Upside-Down Bell, and Malfoy cast the Sleeping Curse.

Soon all thirty-five sprites fell to the ground.

Neville, Ron, and the others picked up the little elves one by one and put them back in their cages.

"Oh, well done, gentlemen and ladies,"

After peering through the window and confirming there was no danger inside, Rohart clapped and walked in.

"Look, students."

"This is from my book, 'Wandering with Werewolves,' in which I clearly explain the usage of these spells."

"Only by mastering these spells can I completely subdue the evil werewolf."

Seeing that some students around him actually believed Lockhart's story, he was surprised to find that some students still believed him.

Moon sighed and rubbed his forehead.

"What kind of book is this? I've never read it before."

"You can tell he's making this up just by the name. These spells can't even penetrate a werewolf's defenses."

Harry and Malfoy didn't argue this time.

The two's united front against external threats resonated with the surrounding junior wizards.

Hermione wanted to say something, but after looking at the people around her, she swallowed her words.

Moon said nothing and left the classroom as soon as the bell rang.

He's finished all his lessons for the day and now he's going to find Dumbledore to explain the notebook.
