Chapter 192 Don't Look at the Moon
After a busy morning, I finally managed to take care of all the goblins and thorns I could find.
Harry won again; his sharp eyesight gave him a significant advantage in the competition, allowing him to easily distinguish the little monsters that were similar in color to the soil.
They carried a large bag of thorns back to their humble abode and enjoyed a hearty venison soup. In the afternoon, they were to head to the potion workshop.
The thorns of the prickly creature are also an ingredient in potions, but not many wizards are willing to waste time catching them.
So the price isn't low.
The children are all skilled at preparing anti-radiation potions, so helping out with their aunties at the potion workshop is quite easy for them.
Here Hermione got to know almost all the witches' wives in the settlement, and they chatted about everyday matters...
While his hands were constantly processing the potion ingredients.
Although they are not as efficient and concise as Lily in terms of technique, or do they have any secret tricks, they are generally quite skilled. They have to discuss and make potions that are too difficult together, while they can make ordinary ones by hand.
Luna's mother, Pandora Lovegood, is in charge here. Luna inherited almost all of her good qualities. Almost everyone who meets her praises Mr. Xenophilius for being so lucky, as such an oddball could win Pandora's heart.
Mrs. Lovegood was a witch of considerable skill, adept at using runes to inscribe spells. The banners planted on the piles of stones around the settlement were her creations, providing considerable protection for the stronghold.
Regarding runes, this name is the same word as the runes of the borderlands, and they have slightly different meanings in the two worlds, but both refer to the understanding of rules, and both are quite profound knowledge.
When she was a Finger Witch, Hermione was very skilled at using runes to enhance the power of the Faded Ones, but the runes in this world are in a different form and cannot be collected in a quantifiable way like in the Borderlands. Therefore, she didn't know what to do. Perhaps if she had the chance to get a large rune in the future, she could study it.
And coincidentally, once summer vacation ends and she enters the third grade, she will be able to take runes as an elective.
Knowing that Hermione was very interested in this subject, Pandora also gave her a copy of "An Easy Introduction to Ancient Runes," a book that is very suitable for beginners to learn the basics of runes.
With the children joining in, the ladies finished their work quickly, even removing the thorns from the thorny bush. It wasn't that all the potion needs had been met, but rather that the limited materials meant that even if they wanted to continue working, they couldn't cook without ingredients.
Next, some wives will go home to do housework, while others will go to other places to be busy.
For example, Mrs. Molly had to go to the magical plant garden in the back hill, where many delicate plants needed tending several times a day; while Mrs. Pandora had to maintain the rune banners everywhere. Every wizard had endless work to do.
Muggles are like fragile reeds, easily broken by the wind; they need constant care.
The adults didn't assign the children any chores, so after dinner, Harry and his friends decided to practice magic on a flat area at the top of the mountain.
Since leaving school and no longer having a Pensieve, they have felt quite out of place. Just as Hermione has always struggled to fit into a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere, they now also seem to be experiencing borderline post-traumatic stress disorder.
They feel uneasy if they don't take action every day, and their vigilance is incredibly high. Even in the humble abode, the Gemini's pranks and sneak attacks, taking advantage of their status as hosts, have never succeeded.
"We haven't had a chance to explore the underground of Stoneville yet. We only caught a glimpse of that terrifying face," Harry complained.
"That rotten tree spirit is difficult for us to deal with just its size, but since it's made of wood, it should be very afraid of fire. Maybe we can try setting it on fire next time," Ron suggested. Last time, they didn't last long enough for the tree spirit to breathe fire.
"If Harry wants to become an Animagus when school starts, you should practice Transfiguration during the summer vacation," Hermione advised.
"If I can't satisfy Professor McGonagall and Professor Potter, there's nothing I can do."
Harry nodded vigorously. One advantage of the Weasleys was that they kept all of Bill and Charlie's old textbooks, and unlike Percy's, they weren't as hard to borrow. Harry could freely browse through their old Transfiguration textbooks and notes from their fourth year, which was much better than the twins' textbooks, which were practically spotless.
Because they heard it was a special training organized by Hermione, George, Fred, and Percy all came along.
This is the children's secret base from childhood to adulthood. The semi-recessed natural mountain wall is just the right place for the children to play and decorate. There are stone tables and chairs they made themselves, and a campfire fireplace has been set up in a sheltered spot. As long as you bring some food, you can stay here for a long time.
Because Harry, Harry, and the others all wanted to cram for the Animagus, they borrowed Bill, Charlie, and the twins' textbooks, one for each of them, and began studying with long faces.
Meanwhile, George and Fred were at the table, muttering spells over a bunch of gadgets, seemingly studying something. The water fireworks they bought in Beauxbatons last year hadn't been used yet, but sometimes it was even scarier when the firecrackers didn't go off.
Percy will be in 7th grade next year, and he already knows that he will be the student council president, which makes him feel that his authority is growing. However, because of Hermione's presence, he realizes that his strength is still lacking, so he is specifically improving his combat and defense skills.
As for Hermione, she didn't stay on the ground, but flew into the air in her twilight form. The moonlight, hazy yet incredibly bright, provided illumination for everyone, as well as the boost from the magical realm. This would speed up everyone's progress, and she herself could analyze the magic of the borderlands and understand the magic of this world at a faster pace.
The moon, now larger than when she first transformed, seemed to be growing stronger along with her power. She could sense that she could become bigger, brighter, and rise higher.
In fact, if she wanted to, she could have easily included the entire Baishan Village within Moonlight's domain.
In her lunar form, abundant and vibrant magic accumulates and flows within her body, like a newborn child growing at an extremely rapid pace every day. However, she feels that this growth is not the fastest, as if something is missing, preventing the moon's development from reaching its full potential.
However, neither world has any experience to draw upon in this regard, so she can only take it one step at a time. But given the current progress, the moon should reach its current limit in less than six months.
Everyone was amazed by her moon transformation, but they all promised not to tell anyone, keeping it a secret among the children.
However, Hermione wasn't too concerned. She was already planning to bring the entire school under the wing of the magical realm in the future. As she grew stronger and her status rose, more people would pay attention to her.
Some things don't need to be kept hidden forever.
Around nine o'clock, Ginny and Luna arrived together. The two girls were best friends, and they walked up the mountain hand in hand.
"We also brought a friend, she's a Muggle, I hope you won't mind—" Luna said softly, but before she could finish speaking, she saw the nitrogen-argon full moon on the mountain wall.
Behind her, a Muggle girl suddenly stared wide-eyed and horrifying hair sprouted from her body.
"Oops!"
