Having escaped famine, I was accepted into Hogwarts

The latter is really unbearable; it's not even a full moon yet... Can you believe how ridiculous that is...?

Kane, who grew up among the shadow tentacles of the Eternal Realm, carries a moon with him, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that!

And so, after finishing his meal, Kane went to the library as usual, found a corner, took out the Mooncaller's Wand, first summoned a smaller version of the full moon, and then took a deep breath in front of the smaller version of the full moon.

He forced out that spell, which could be compiled into a book, to recite it.

Chapter 173 The Holiday Ends

About half an hour later, Kane felt his lips were peeling from talking so much, but the result was very gratifying.

The small full moon summoned by the Mooncaller's wand in front of him deflated like a punctured balloon as the incantation ended, with most of its lunar power flowing into his body.

The remaining forces that he hadn't been able to grasp slowly dissipated and once again entered his body.

Of course, the remaining part returned to the Mooncaller's wand.

How can this not be considered a form of self-production and self-consumption? And most importantly, Professor Trelawney's spellbook did not just allow her to absorb a portion of the moon's power, but rather opened a channel for her to bypass her own shadow attribute and directly use the moon's power from the Mooncaller's wand without having to take it out.

Wow! This Mooncaller's Wand is amazing! Not only can it summon an orb of light, but most importantly, this orb is practically useless...

Kane, somewhat exasperated, lightly slapped himself twice, resolving never to do anything so awkward again.

Moreover, the Mooncaller's Wand is definitely not as useless as people say. Although in the Eternal Realm, it is at most a high-end large desk lamp and air conditioner, and in a sense, it can also be considered a key to unlock the Ancient Archives.

But since it's in the real world, it's definitely not right for the effect to be so humorous.

Soon, as Kane's experiments showed, the results were as he expected: the Mooncaller's Wand was indeed somewhat useful in a certain sense.

With the blessing of Professor Trelawney's spell, he was able to directly use the moon's power in the Mooncaller's Wand. Simply put, he could directly summon moonlight when he used the Mooncaller's Wand again, instead of summoning a miniature moon.

The power of the moon may be due to the moon's inherent properties, or it may have been technically adjusted by the real world.

Simply put, the moon these days is like an incredibly inclusive public bus that anyone can get on. Add fire, and it's like hand-crafted solar wind; add electricity, and it's like a chain lightning bolt; add shadow... I haven't tried that yet, and there's no need to. My own shadow abilities are already capable of that, it's just that shadow isn't a public bus...

In short, the moon is now like a special vessel, and Kane suddenly realized something when he thought about it.

Since the moon can carry magic, could it also carry emotions, like the Patronus Charm taught by Lupin?

For example, could we create a high-end version of a guardian spell to express feelings of happiness?

As Kane's mind raced, he subconsciously began to act.

Although he could summon moonlight without using a wand, he had been using this wand for three years and was used to it.

As Kane waved his wand, he slowly poured all his happy memories of the Eternal Realm and Hogwarts into it...

Well, it's quite obvious that the reason I can't learn the Guardian Charm might not be due to the Guardian Charm itself, but more likely due to my own memories.

Perhaps all my happy memories are too darkly humorous?

Kane looked at the moonlight, which hadn't changed much, with a sense of helplessness, but he quickly changed his mind.

The principle behind the Patronus Charm for banishing Dementors is that it uses a Patronus formed from the Dementors' favorite happy emotions to banish them... That's a bit humorous, but if we reverse it, wouldn't it be possible to lure Dementors away using their unconscious memories of fear?

As for what to do after luring them over, forget about it. All I can say is that those things are nothing but a little girl compared to the Shadow. And since my sanity has been a bit high lately, capturing wild Shadow monsters to strengthen my own Shadow has become difficult. In short...

This is a good thing.

He also made progress in adjusting his magic, realizing that the reason he couldn't use the Guardian Angel spell was because happy memories were too dark and hellish, so he would just switch to other emotions.

Since happy memories of dark humor can't be crammed in, then memories of fear should be able to fit.

This is something I can easily afford myself.

The moment Kane had this immature idea, a huge, dark blue light suddenly burst forth from the tip of his wand.

Now that the technique has succeeded, it's time for me to go find Lu Ping and have him take a look at whether my move was correct or not.

He quickly found Lupin's office but couldn't find him, so he went to find Dumbledore instead.

Coincidentally, Dumbledore and Lupin were together, and it seemed that Dumbledore was giving Lupin a lesson.

"Ah, Lupin, you really are a studious person."

Lupin pursed his lips awkwardly. He had been so studious all for Lupin's sake, but before he could say anything, Kane waved his wand, releasing the moonlight imbued with memories of fear: "Could you guys help me see if this spell works on Dementors?"

With the three people in the office turning pale, what could Dumbledore and Lupin say...?

This spell must be useful within their perception and knowledge base.

but...

Dumbledore coughed slowly: "Well, Kane, what was your mindset when you discovered this unique way of stacking magic?"

Kane put his wand away and shrugged. "Because of the Dementors?"

Dumbledore nodded: "If you really can't learn the Patronus Charm, we can understand, that's what I expected, but I beg you not to study this kind of underworld spell anymore, it's very dangerous."

Kane felt that the answer he was looking for was getting closer.

"So what does it mean? What's the use of this spell?"

Dumbledore felt he was getting old and his brain wasn't getting enough oxygen after the shock, so he turned his attention to Lupin.

While Lupin didn't have Dumbledore's vast knowledge base, he could still roughly understand what kind of trick the spell was.

"In short... the genuine Patronus Charm is to banish Dementors, while your strange glow... only attracts Dementors."

As soon as Lupin finished speaking, Kane's lips curled down in a very humorous arc.

In short...don't laugh.

"So if you ever encounter a Dementor and need to run away or ask a friend who has learned the Patronus Charm, I don't think it's necessary to use this spell. What do you think?" Dumbledore said, trying to keep his voice steady.

"Hmm, of course." Kane kept a straight face and left the principal's office.

Hehehehehe...

As a mesmerizing and seductive murmur echoed down the corridor, the Hogwarts holiday officially came to an end.

Kane and Harry followed Lupin back to the Muggle world and settled into a hotel.

As a professor, Lupin was not normally required to take the train, but this year was a turbulent time, and Sirius Black and the Dementors could pose a danger to the young wizards, so he voluntarily boarded the train as an armed escort.

Until August 30th arrived.

Chapter 174 The Dementors on the Train

That morning...

Because Lu Ping maintained his austere lifestyle from his previous life of wandering even after getting a job, the three of them stayed in an ordinary but clean hotel.

The kind that doesn't include breakfast... Lupin felt he had put in a lot of effort, even though he wasn't paying for any of it...

Those who were actually spending money had already locked onto a McDonald's nearby. After a holiday of healthy food at Hogwarts, it was time to unleash some calorie bombs.

Kane had already figured out where to have breakfast today, and the three of them hurried on their feet. Because they had lingered at Hogwarts for so long, Kane and Harry hadn't even bought their third-year supplies yet.

After breakfast, the three of them rushed to Diagon Alley again, bought everything they needed, and then bought all the elective course materials listed on the elective course checklist.

Basically, it's the monster book from the Magical Creatures Protection class, the crystal ball and tarot cards from the Divination class—that's Ron's setup, and as for Hermione...

It's said that she went crazy and selected every elective course she could get, which was terrifying. I don't know how she allocated her time.

Soon, after the three of them swept through Diagon Alley like a whirlwind, the two followed Lupin quickly to a toilet at King's Cross Station.

The old man, who was washing a mop in the toilet, watched as three people walked out of a toilet stall once again.

The last time he saw this scene was when he was working as a public toilet attendant in a park. At that time, two young men came out of a toilet and walked towards the circus tent not far away.

The circus tent was abandoned the next day, and it's said that everyone in the circus went to jail.

And today it happened again... and this time there was one more person with him...

Looks like I can't stay at King's Cross Station any longer; I'll have to run away.

The old man slowly put down the mop, took off his work clothes, and planned to buy a train ticket while he was at it.

It doesn't matter where you go, as long as the train is moving forward, that's enough.

Kane, who was already on the Hogwarts Express, had no idea that at the same time, on the other side of the train station, an old man was embarking on a journey to pursue freedom because of him.

He simply found a nice spot, curled up, and planned to sleep all the way to Hogwarts.

Harry, on the other hand, went out to gather his friends and attract attention, and somehow managed to find Hermione and Ron, who were scattered throughout the carriages.

Unlike Kane, who didn't get much rest last night, Lupin was full of energy today. After Harry introduced Hermione and Ron, he felt like he was seeing old friends and started telling them about his student days.

However, for some unknown reason, he deliberately omitted the scenes involving his three best friends.

Perhaps because of the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, after Tom Riddle's unsuccessful job search, the position became a yearly job, and since Gilderoy Lockhart last year, each successor to the position has had a strange and superfluous quality.

For example, they like to boast about their past.

For example, right now, Hermione's eyes seem to be sparkling with stars as she looks at Lupin as if she sees her future self.

I also want to be like Lupin, starting from the bottom and climbing up the ladder with my intelligence.

Moreover, judging from this train, it is clear that Lupin has succeeded, and the Hogwarts professors have reached the pinnacle of the magical world.

In short, Hermione is now completely immersed in the role, so much so that she doesn't even notice the eerily darkening sky outside the carriage.

Kane could have easily fallen into a deep sleep without paying attention, but unfortunately, Lupin eventually woke him up.

"Wake up, something's not right." He had just woken up when he saw Lupin take out his wand with a serious expression and then look solemnly at the sky.

One after another, there were tattered gray plates, resembling skeletons or even more terrifying ones, with two ounces of meat casually hanging from their skeletons, like ghosts.

"A Dementor?" Kane raised an eyebrow. Although he had only ever heard of such creatures and never seen one in person, seeing this abstract and ugly thing made him instantly recognize it...

The name Dementor is well chosen.

Good taste.

"Why did the Ministry of Magic send Dementors to the Hogwarts Railroad ahead of time?" Lupin muttered, prompting Hermione and Ron to realize, "What do you mean, 'the Ministry of Magic sent these things'?"

It's no wonder they were so surprised, since even when Voldemort was in power, he never did such an abstract thing as putting Dementors and young wizards together.

Kane and Harry nodded helplessly at the two's strong reaction. Although it was embarrassing, that was the truth.

The Ministry of Magic is really a piece of shit.

"Hopefully they're just flying outside the train, sensing Sirius's presence, and won't come inside," Lupin said gravely.
