Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 382 Guessing the Level of the Spell
After agreeing to help train Harry, Moon left the headmaster's office.

When they arrived at the Great Hall for dinner, they ran into Harry, who had just finished Quidditch training.

"Is there something dirty on my face?"

Seeing Moon's strange look, Harry instinctively reached out and touched his cheek.

"No, I assure you, and you look great on camera right now."

Before Moon could answer, Colin, who had been following Harry around, stepped forward first.

As he spoke, he raised his camera and snapped a photo of Harry and Moon together.

"Colin, your actions are disrupting my life. Could you please stop taking pictures of me without permission in the future?"

Two days ago, Harry was kept behind by Professor Lockhart for a long talk because of taking pictures.

Nobody knows what they were talking about.

However, from that day on, Harry became extremely averse to any opportunity to become famous.

I no longer readily agree to things like taking photos or signing autographs.

"Okay, but you really look great on camera, especially after using the revealing potion, you look like you've come to life."

Noticing that Harry's expression was turning sour, Colin shut his mouth.

"Alright, be kinder to your juniors."

Moon said, making way for Harry, who hadn't even had time to change out of his team uniform, and he plopped down on the seat.

"Okay, I apologize, Colin."

Harry obediently nodded to Colin, who quickly waved his hand to indicate that it wasn't necessary.

Moon, sitting next to him, was quite pleased.

After all, for him, an obedient Harry would be more useful.

"By the way, you still haven't told me why you were looking at me like that just now?"

Harry shoved a piece of roast meat from the table into his mouth and asked indistinctly.

"Don't worry about it, you'll find out soon enough."

Moon's words were soon proven true.

During the flight lesson on the afternoon of the second day.

Harry was called away by Professor McGonagall and didn't return until an hour later.

However, when Harry returned, his expression no longer held the composure of the day before.

The way he looked at Moon had completely changed.

"What's going on? Why did Dumbledore say that following you would improve my magical abilities?"

Harry ran over and pulled Moon aside.

"You're not suggesting I get up early to study and then spend every day in the library like you, are you?"

As Harry spoke, his face gradually turned pale.

At first, Harry was actually quite envious of Moon, who was able to master so many spells and always ranked first in exams.

However, after witnessing Moon's regular daily routine...

That kind of envy will never happen again.

After all, Harry knew his own personality very well and would never do such a thing.

But what Dumbledore explained today suddenly gave Harry a sense of crisis.

He wanted to become stronger, and he wanted revenge.

The way Dumbledore pointed him to was to find Moon.

This left Harry completely baffled.

"It seems Professor Dumbledore has already explained it to you, so I won't say anything more?"

"Come with me now to train in spells, otherwise I can't guarantee your safety."

Putting down his flying broomstick, Moon led Harry away from the pitch quickly.

"Wait, you haven't told me exactly what you want me to do? You don't really mean I have to get up early, do you?!"

Hermione and Ron, who were originally collecting the flying brooms, froze in place.

"Get up early? Why? Harry already got up early enough!"

Ron looked at their retreating figures, puzzled.

"I don't know, but there must be a secret between them."

Hermione spoke with certainty, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

The small classroom on the second floor.

This is now Moon's private practice room.

After a year of adjustment, Filch finally felt at ease no longer having to stand guard at the door every time.

Every time Moon gets the key, all that's needed is Bouncy and Mrs. Lorris.

Boom!
After closing the door.

Once he was certain that there were only two people and two beasts present, Mu En finally voiced his doubts.

"What did Professor Dumbledore say to you?"

"He only told me to follow you to learn how to improve my magical abilities, but he didn't tell me to get up early."

Harry took a step back as he spoke, still worried about his "early to bed" plan.

"Oh, I see. You can rest assured, I don't need your little morning time."

As he spoke, Moon cast a [Flying Spell] towards the terracotta warrior in the distance.

The terracotta figurine immediately landed in the center of the classroom with a mournful face.

"Now that Dumbledore has entrusted you to me, it is time to test your mastery of spells."

Having already experienced the magical war, Moon knew very well.

Knowing your teammates is just as important as knowing your opponents' strength, no matter when.

"Detection spell? Are you really taking me on an adventure? It seems Headmaster Dumbledore wasn't lying to me."

Seeing Harry's excitement, Moon just smiled and didn't say anything.

He didn't want to discourage the young wizard.

"I don't know many spells, but you should be familiar with most of them, such as this Drowsiness, Petrify, Upside Down, and Exterminate Weapon."

Watching Harry unleash four different spells in succession.

Moon nodded unconsciously.

The little wizard's spellcasting was very swift and decisive, without any hesitation.

This at least ensured that Harry could maintain a certain level of initiative when encountering danger on the battlefield.

"Who taught you to use weapons? I remember it was a spell from third grade."

Seeing the appearance of this extraordinary spell, Moon asked curiously.

“It was Lupin. He taught me the moves and spells during the summer vacation. I just learned them at school last week.”

Moon felt that this curse had a special connection with Harry.

Having only mastered it for a week, it has already demonstrated remarkable power.

The terracotta Snape looked extremely pale after being hit.

Besides that, the best spell Harry has mastered is probably "Upside Down".

Harry's pet Hedwig was also able to master this spell.

"You need to practice these spells more, but that's far from enough. Haven't you learned a single defensive spell?"

"No, but Wood said that offense is the best defense."

Seeing Harry's confident expression, Moon threw a [Grinning Woohoo] at him.

Do you still think so now?

"Hehe, no, no, haha, I think you're right."

Seeing that Harry was so sensible, Moon cast another spell, "Stop Curse".

"Remember, in Quidditch you don't defend because your teammates are defending for you."

Moon's current situation in another world is not very safe.

Therefore, he had to prepare Harry in advance.

At the very least, this boy who survived such a close call should have basic self-defense skills.

"【Ironclad Spell】 and 【Obstacles】 are both good defensive methods. You must see them clearly and learn them well, otherwise you may lose your life."

Moon raised his wand, indicating his intention to teach Harry.

"Wow! Isn't this adventure a bit too big?"

Harry suddenly felt like he'd been tricked by Dumbledore and Moon into boarding a pirate ship.

"Don't be so discouraged. I remember your flying skills are pretty good, right? If you can't beat them, you can always run away first."

"Oh, so I can bring a flying broom. That puts my mind at ease."

Harry was very confident in his flying skills. At the very least, he believed that no one at Hogwarts at the moment could surpass him in this magic.

"Don't get too proud too soon. You must learn and master these two defensive spells by Monday."

"No way, only 6 days!"

Harry's face immediately fell.

"Six days is not a short time. I mastered these two spells in just two days."

Moon ignored Harry's pleading eyes and sternly refused his request for more time.

"Okay, but what if I don't learn it?"

"Don't worry, I'll check your progress every day. If you can't do it, I'll have to punish you with a little curse."

Seeing that Moon had no intention of making an exception.

Harry quietly took out his wand and pointed it at Moon.

"We're good friends. To prevent me from suffering alone in the future, shouldn't you keep me company?"

"Tarantella dance, ah!"

Harry's little curse had barely been cast when it was deflected by Moon's Mirror Protection.

Then the little wizard started writhing wildly in the classroom.

"No! This is not fair."

Even though Harry was very unwilling, he kept swaying his alluring body.

Moon didn't rescue the other person this time; he needed to let Harry know.

Who truly holds the power in this game?

After half an hour.

Harry looked pale and was covered in sweat.

Moon cast the spell again, and Harry collapsed to the ground.

"Now you can practice your spells properly, right?"

"Practice, practice, practice. Let me rest for a bit, and I'll start practicing right away."

Harry answered, panting.

Moon looked at the other person indifferently, then occasionally glanced at the situation of Bouncy and Mrs. Lorris beside him.

Ever since that gray mouse left.

The Three Beasts Rat-Catching Alliance is also in dire straits.

Of course, the main reason was that Raphael wanted to go home and continue being the toad king.

As for Mrs. Lorris, she was larger.

Some of the pipes in the castle were too difficult to crawl through, so the rat-catching operation came to a standstill.

"Squeak~" (That mouse is so hateful! It actually tried to steal things from the box while we weren't looking.)
Bouncy whispered something in Mrs. Lorris's ear.

"Meow~" (Really? That's awful. I should have swallowed it back then.)
"Chirp chirp~" (Okay, if you catch it this time, I'll give you a treat.)
Bengbeng, in the cutest tone, uttered the harshest words.

That is, while the two small animals were having a secret conversation.

Suddenly, Moon heard a rustling sound coming from the crevices in the classroom wall.

"Come here. Come here quickly, let me eat you. Eat you."

Harry must have heard it too.

He suddenly looked at Moon.

The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously and quickly walked towards the wall.

"Did you hear that too?"

"That's right, it should have come from here."

As Moon pressed his ear against the wall, the rustling sound grew fainter and fainter.

"Where did you go?" Moon asked curiously.

"I don't know, it seems to be above, and it also seems to be below."

After listening for a while and finding no other sounds, Harry stopped paying attention and returned to the terracotta figure to practice his defense spells.

Moon stood by the wall, lost in thought.

Although the voice was intermittent, Moon could still sense a tremendous amount of malice in it.

This malice reminded him of the blood-red bat monster that the leader of the faithless had transformed into.

"Is there a monster in the castle?"

Just as Moon was getting curious, the classroom door was pushed open.

A familiar voice came from behind.

"Are you eavesdropping? It looks like the school clinic is across the street."

Seeing Hermione and Ron's heads also close to the wall, Moon immediately looked up and returned to normal.

"Why are you here?"

"Oh, Hermione said that all the registered students have been counted and are going to be handed over to you. I just came to see what Harry is up to."

Ron said something and ran toward Harry, who was practicing spells.

Hermione blushed, a rare occurrence for her, and became shy.

She knew that the words she had just discussed with Ron wouldn't fool Moon.

"I...I really did come to deliver the list."

Hermione handed over a thick stack of parchment.

Moon took it and started reading.

"231 people, that's a lot."

"That's right! Almost every student signed up, and with the guidance of the professors, almost all of them met the enrollment criteria."

Although Moon hasn't been paying attention to the spell rating experiment these past two days.

However, it cannot be denied that this matter remains the most important thing at Hogwarts at present.

The students were eager to win the prize, so they all signed up enthusiastically.

As for the professors who organized the experiments, it was to obtain more experimental materials and continuously help the young wizards master spells.

For example, Harry received guidance from Professor Flitwick on how to use the Petrification Charm and the Sleeping Charm.

"Okay, then we'll start testing tomorrow."

"No problem. Professor Flitwick also said that he will come to help us maintain order."

Hearing Hermione's words, Moon smiled calmly.

He was well aware that Professor Flitwick's visit was not for the sake of order, but rather to test Moon's assessment abilities.

After all, Moon was the youngest evaluator he had chosen.

This experiment is not only a test of Moon's abilities, but also related to Professor Flitwick's findings on his spell theory.

Therefore, absolutely no mistakes are allowed.

"Okay, then we'll start promptly at 6 p.m. tomorrow."

Moon estimated that all the students should have finished dinner by now, and the auditorium would be ready to be used.

"No problem, I will notify all applicants in advance."

Hermione acted like a very dedicated secretary, discussing the follow-up matters of the evaluation with Moon.

"By the way, what are you and Harry doing?"

Only then did the little witch reveal the true purpose of her visit.

"I'm giving Harry special training."

"Special training? Why? Is Harry going to participate in some kind of competition?"

Hermione thought for a moment; there was still a long time before the House Cup.

And Moon doesn't seem to be a member of the Quidditch team.

Seeing that Moon hadn't answered yet, Hermione's thoughts became increasingly scattered.

"Is there some special mission? With Harry around, could it be related to that person whose name can't be revealed?"

Seeing that Hermione was about to guess the correct answer, Moon quickly stopped her.

"Don't overthink it, this matter is currently under wraps."

"Keep it a secret? Okay."

Hermione's face turned grim.

Ron, who was next to Harry, suddenly exclaimed.

"What!?"

"Dumbledore wants you to fight Voldemort!"

This was the first time Ron had said that person's name.
