From Kamal Taj to Hogwarts

Time flies, and in the vicissitudes of the ivory tower of Hogwarts, the young wizards' study and life are as full of laughter and laughter as ever, not unlike the increasingly tense situation outside.

The autumn wind blows louder and cooler as time goes by, bringing a hint of winter chill to the highlands where Hogwarts is located.

November 6, 1938.

This is the full moon day that Xiwen has been waiting for.

Of course, he used a different method to judge the waxing and waning of the moon - that is, the Eastern lunar calendar. The day of November 6th in the Gregorian calendar is the 15th day of the ninth lunar month, which happens to be the first two days of the beginning of winter.

day.

That night, a full moon like a jade plate hung in the night sky.

The sky was filled with stars, not a single cloud could be seen, and it was exceptionally clear.

A wisp of meteors quietly crossed the sky and fell into the silent lake, causing ripples to appear on the mirror-like surface of the lake. Looking more closely, it was the cool wind of late autumn blowing across the water from a distance, bringing with it a shallow breeze.

The waves, with a trace of mist, blew the young man's clothes.

Xiwen stood on the top of the astronomy tower and looked up at the starry sky. Behind him were the colorful stars crushed in the big lake, all of them swaying quietly in the breeze.

"Are you ready?" Helena's figure emerged from under the tiles of the astronomy tower, and she asked with a worried look on her face.

"Don't be nervous. This is just the first step. There is no danger." Xiwen smiled softly at Helena and comforted her.

Helena was startled for a moment, and said with a strange expression: "It seems that I was supposed to be the one to comfort you, so why did you become the one to comfort me?"

"Perhaps it's because you care that you become confused." Xiwen raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile.

"It seems that you are not nervous at all." Helena curled her lips and said to Xiwen. "Then you start quickly, I will help you keep an eye on it."

Xiwen nodded and took out a small box from his pocket. The box contained dozens of mandrake leaves, all of which were selected from the herbal medicine store in the most suitable size.

Then, Xiwen took out a blade of grass and stuffed it into his mouth.

"The taste is better than expected, but it's not convenient to talk with it in your mouth." Xiwen said vaguely while holding the blade of grass in his mouth.

"Aren't you going to use magic to stick it on the roof of your mouth?" Helena asked, looking at Xiwen with a confused tone, holding back a smile.

"That's right, but I still want to experience a little bit of other people's feelings when learning Animagus transformation." Xiwen nodded and said with a smirk.

However, when he was grinning evilly, the mandrake blades accidentally sprayed out from his mouth and floated over the railing of the astronomy tower towards the vast lake.

"Well, it's not a success! I really don't know how those Animagus kept it in their mouths for a month without making any mistakes." Xiwen's voice became clearer now, and he sighed. "It's still good.

Okay, I’ve prepared twenty leaves, I’m sure they’ll be enough!”

Then he solemnly took out another mandrake leaf and stuffed it into his mouth.

"So why don't you quickly set up the spell and wait to waste another one?" Helena looked at his actions with some humor and said helplessly. "I remember that such a small leaf is quite expensive."

"Money is not a problem." Xiwen shook his head and said unclearly.

But when he saw Helena's eyes widening, he finally used Kama Taj's small sealing spell to fix the mandrake leaf on his roof of the mouth.

"This is much better." After setting up the seal, Xiwen's articulation became like a big tongue and he said unaccustomedly. "Apart from the strange touch and the uncomfortable thickness of the upper jaw, there are no other problems!

"

Helena looked at his performance and nodded slightly.

"But there is actually one problem that remains unresolved." Xiwen suddenly became distressed again and sighed.

"What's wrong, hasn't the first step of preparatory preparation been completed?" Helena asked curiously.

"Now I want to know what animal I will turn into, so I need to use the Patronus Charm for reference." Xiwen said. "If my patronus is an animal like a pig or a mangy dog ​​that will lower my demeanor, then this

It’s okay if Animagus doesn’t learn!”

"Don't be ridiculous, I don't believe you would give up a very useful magic just because the transformed form doesn't look good." Helena retorted with a look that had seen everything through.

"Yes, I will continue to learn even if it doesn't look good." Xiwen's eyebrows suddenly drooped and he said listlessly. "But if my Animagus deformation will make me lose face, will there be any in the future?"

I’ll tell you another time when the opportunity arises.”

"Okay, okay, first let me see how far you have learned the Patronus Charm." Helena interrupted his complaints and said with interest.

Xiwen did not refuse, drew out his wand, pointed forward, and read loudly——

"Exvoking God's Guard (Expe)!"

Wisps of silvery white light poured out from the tip of the wand, like a burst of thick mist, but it had no tendency to condense into a solid substance.

After watching the white mist spout for a while, Xiwen reluctantly put away the spell and looked at Helena helplessly.

Helena looked at Xiwen, frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, the Patronus Charm appeared a long time ago, and even in my mother's time, there was no shortage of opportunities to use it to drive away dark creatures.

"

"In my opinion, this spell does not have such high requirements for the ability to control magic. What it requires more is extremely strong positive emotions, or happiness, or happiness."

"So, what is your happiest memory?" Helena looked into Xiwen's eyes and asked with raised eyebrows.

"The happiest memory?" Xiwen fell into thinking.

Looking at the past and present, whether it is the twenty years in Kamal Taj or the twelve years in this world, there are many memories that can be called happy - playing and playing with my brothers on the top of the Himalayas

The joy of hearing the teacher teach spells in person, the touch of maternal love after coming to this world, the joy of getting along with classmates at Hogwarts...

After all, Xiwen has always been a very contented person. But it is precisely because of this contented character that it is difficult for him to find the happiest memories in his heart.

"You haven't thought about it yet?" Looking at the pensive Xiwen, Helena's expression gradually became dangerous.

Xiwen looked at Helena's dangerous eyes with some confusion, wondering what mistake he had made.

Occasionally, he caught a glimpse of some windows with some light on the main tower of the castle, and felt an extremely warm and indifferent feeling of familiarity.

Xiwen was stunned.

"My happiest memory is walking hand in hand with you in the starry night, looking at the stars in the sky together, watching the lights of the tower turning on and off..." he said softly to Helena.

Let me add first, Xiwen fused his soul body into the little wizard's body just to be on the safe side. I am mentioning it here to prevent anyone from questioning it on the spot~
