He was a pure Asian, so to obtain a plausible identity, he had to return to China. After returning to China, Mo Mo used his great powers to create a verifiable small mountain village in a remote area, and he was a member of this village. However, the village only existed for three days before being destroyed by a mudslide. He escaped the disaster by chance because he was away from home. Heartbroken, he took the "subsidy" and began his world tour.
Adhering to the principle of going all out even when putting on an act, Mo Mo truly embarked on his journey around the world. During his travels, Mo Mo would occasionally use magic to solve some problems in his life. For example, he would occasionally work as a street magician to earn some money for drinks, or catch a thief, punish a hooligan, and incidentally save a damsel in distress. Developed countries were indeed more open-minded, and after saving a damsel in distress ten times, the beautiful woman would invite him to dinner at least five times. On the remaining five times, he would receive at least two passionate kisses as payment, and on the last three times, he would receive at least a sincere thank you. Of course, this was also related to his unique temperament.
After three months of his round-the-world trip, Mo Mo finally arrived at his destination, Country Y. By this time, his frequent use of magic had already attracted the attention of the Magic Association. Mo Mo naturally knew that he had attracted the attention of the Magic Association, but instead of stopping, he used magic even more frequently. However, he was also subtly expressing his desire to study at a magic academy.
That day, after Mo Mo used the Stunning Spell to punish a group of hooligans harassing a beautiful woman at the movie theater, he was about to accept the woman's invitation to dinner when a white light suddenly attacked him. Mo Mo immediately recognized it as the weapon-removing spell. Normally, Mo Mo could have easily dodged the spell, but to protect the girl behind him, he endured the attack and the subsequent Stunning Spell.
After being hit by the Stunning Curse, Mo Mo collapsed to the ground. The dazed girl also slumped onto Mo Mo's body. Just as Mo Mo and the girl "fainted," an elderly man with white hair and a middle-aged man quickly ran out from a corner of the street. After appearing, the two quickly helped up the girl who had fallen on Mo Mo and disappeared into the wall next to them.
When Mo Mo entered the wall, he felt as if he had passed through a curtain of water. After passing through the wall, Mo Mo and the girl were separated. When Mo Mo woke up at the right time, he found himself lying on a sofa facing a fireplace, with the white-haired old man sitting opposite him.
“Child, I heard you’re looking for a magical school. Can you tell me who told you to come here?” the white-bearded old man said to Mo Mo with a kind expression.
"Actually, you can use English. Also, the reason I came here looking for a magic school is because I overheard a little kid talking about it when I arrived. The kid's name seemed to be Harry, right, Harry Potter." Seeing the old man who resembled Dumbledore speaking somewhat broken Chinese, Mo Mo replied directly in English.
“It’s wonderful that you speak English. You know, although your country is very great and mysterious, your language is also incredibly difficult to learn. But you said you’ve met Harry? When was that? Oh, by the way, my name is Dumbledore, you can call me Professor Dumbledore.” Dumbledore’s face showed a relieved expression as he listened to Mo Mo’s fluent English.
“Just five days ago, I think I met him on Privet Drive. He was a thin little boy with glasses. You could tell he had suffered a lot over the years. Oh, I almost forgot. Hello, Professor Dumbledore. My name is Mo Mo and I come from China. You are a wizard, right? I would like to learn some magical magic from you. Is that possible?” Mo Mo thought for a moment and said earnestly.
Dumbledore looked into Mo Mo's eyes and thought for a while before slowly saying, "We have been observing you for some time now. You are indeed a good boy and your magical talent is also very good. However, there are a few conditions that need to be met before you can join Hogwarts."
"What are the conditions?" Mo Mo asked anxiously.
"Don't be nervous, it's just to prepare some things for your school enrollment. I happen to have some free time now, so I'll go with you to Hexagon Alley," Dumbledore said with a smile.
Afterwards, Momo and Dumbledore went to Hexagon Alley to buy an owl for communication and an ordinary magic wand, and then headed to the school, since Hogwarts had already been in session for two days.

Chapter 648 Entering Hogwarts
Momo arrived two days later than Harry and the others, so he missed the Sorting Ceremony. However, Momo still had to wear the Sorting Hat. Given the Sorting Hat's level, it was impossible for it to see what Momo was thinking. In the end, Momo deliberately revealed a bit of his thoughts, and only then did the Sorting Hat read a little information and sort him into Gryffindor.
After the houses were assigned, Momo was unexpectedly given a private room because of his age. Dumbledore then took Momo on a tour of Hogwarts. However, Momo's reaction disappointed Dumbledore. Momo didn't seem very surprised by anything, whether it was the dazzling stars on the ceiling of the Great Hall, the white ghosts floating overhead, the delicious food that appeared out of nowhere on the large dining table, or the talking portraits that required a password to pass through. In the end, Dumbledore could only attribute it all to Momo's age.
The next morning, Mo Mo finally met Harry, Hermione, and their friends, the protagonists of this world. However, they were still just a group of eleven or twelve-year-old children. Even though white people are generally precocious, they were just a group of little girls and boys at this time.
The class was somewhat taken aback by the arrival of Mo Mo, an adult, because the oldest among them was only thirteen or fourteen years old, while Mo Mo was already an adult. Therefore, they looked down on Mo Mo, who was older than them, since people of Mo Mo's age at Hogwarts would already be sixth or seventh graders.
As the headmaster, Dumbledore naturally noticed this scene, so he stopped the whispering students and said loudly, "Moe's magical talent is actually no weaker than any of yours. The reason he was assigned to your class is because he used to live in that magical country in the East, where magic doesn't exist. However, even so, he was still able to learn how to cast spells using basic, obscure spellbooks. You could say that he is just an ordinary person who has just come into contact with magic, just like you. So I hope you can get along well with him."
Dumbledore's words dispelled the children's disdain, but their age difference was an insurmountable generation gap, so for the first week, almost no one came to talk to Mo Mo, who quietly continued studying. However, after they got to know Mo Mo, they discovered that he was an exceptionally gentle and warm-hearted older brother. Some of the more precocious girls even extended olive branches to Mo Mo, to the point that he almost became the public enemy of all the boys in the class.
However, there was one exception among the girls: Hermione, who had thick, messy brown hair. Hermione was a proud little girl with a pair of front teeth. Although she studied very hard and had excellent grades, she didn't have a single friend because of her arrogance. Momo knew that this was her way of hiding her inferiority complex as a Muggle.
Mo Mo actually quite liked this proud little girl. She was an extremely sensitive, thoughtful, lively, and cheerful girl, but also somewhat insecure. Since Hermione's seat was often empty, Mo Mo would often sit next to her. However, due to her girlish pride, she never spoke to Mo Mo on her own initiative.
As usual, Mo Mo arrived at the classroom right on time to prepare for class. However, when he entered the classroom, he found that the seat next to Hermione was occupied. Since the school did not have any rules about who could sit there, Mo Mo did not pay much attention and was about to find another seat. However, just as he was about to walk to an empty seat in the back corner, a very insulting remark reached Mo Mo's ears.
"You mudblood, mudbloods only deserve to be with mudbloods."
Hearing this, a flash of anger crossed Mo Mo's eyes. Although the speaker was just a spoiled child, his words had deeply hurt others. So he strode over to the table where Hermione and the others were, and calmly looked at Draco Malfoy (Harry's nemesis in the original series), who was sitting in his usual chair, and said, "If Hermione and I are Mudbloods, then what kind of blood are you, who are even worse than us? A rotten mudblood?"
Draco Malfoy instantly flew into a rage upon hearing Momo's words, his face contorted with fury as he shrieked, "Am I wrong? One of you has Muggle parents and the other doesn't even have parents. What are you if not Mudbloods? You two dare to take classes with us pure-blood wizards?"
"Pure blood? Is that so great? Although my parents are no longer in this world, in terms of bloodline, our family is still a well-known and respected lineage, even if we trace our ancestry back hundreds of years. How dare you insult us like that? Apologize to us now, and I might consider forgiving you." Mo Mo said with a serious expression. What Mo Mo said was indeed true. After all, which Chinese person didn't have a name? Moreover, ancient Chinese people not only had names but also courtesy names and titles after reaching adulthood, although they weren't very valuable.
Mo Mo's words commanded respect from everyone present. In their country, those who could trace their lineage back hundreds of years were once prominent nobles, and in ancient times, only nobles had surnames; ordinary people did not. They had been misled by Mo Mo's words into believing that he was a noble from a powerful family in an ancient Eastern country. Draco Malfoy, after hearing Mo Mo's words, obediently apologized to Mo Mo and Hermione.
"Thank you!" Hermione said to Momo, her eyes red, after Draco Malfoy left.
"No need to thank me, we're classmates, and even deskmates. There's a saying in our country that goes, 'It takes a thousand glances in a past life to brush shoulders in this one.' We must have had a very good relationship in our past lives to be deskmates now," Mo Mo said with a smile.
Hermione's delicate face flushed instantly upon hearing this, and she dared not look at Mo Mo again. Just then, the teacher entered, and the two turned their attention back to the lesson. This lesson happened to be Defense Against the Dark Arts, a subject that Hermione was not good at. However, it was not difficult for Mo Mo. Perhaps because of their previous interaction, Hermione actually began to ask Mo Mo questions she did not understand. Mo Mo answered her questions in detail no matter what they asked, which made Hermione look at him with a hint of admiration.
Since then, Hermione has frequently sought out Morpheus under the pretext of asking questions, which has alienated her from her original friends Harry and Ron Weasley. Today is the day for flight lessons. In the original series, Harry was exceptionally admitted to the Quidditch team because of his amazing talent in flight lessons. Hermione became friends with Harry and Ron because of the duel Malfoy challenged Harry to during flight lessons, and it was this duel that led to the Philosopher's Stone.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 649 Hermione
Flying has never been a difficult thing for Mo Mo, because over the long years it has become something like an instinct. As for things like fear of heights, they are not even in his vocabulary. However, flying on a broomstick is really a first for him.
Flying in the Harry Potter world is simply a matter of pre-inscribing a magic circle that allows people to fly onto a magical broom, which is then activated when needed. It's somewhat similar to flying on a sword, but it's far inferior in terms of safety, speed, and even coolness. After all, riding on a broom looks rather awkward.
However, no matter how much Mo Mo complained, what was bound to happen still happened. Just like in the original series, when the teacher asked them to summon their brooms, most people successfully got their brooms to respond on their first attempt, but only Harry managed to get the broom to fly into his hand. In the subsequent flight training, Harry quickly mastered the flying skills. As for Mo Mo, he wandered around for a bit before Hermione pulled him over to teach him.
Just as Momo was teaching Hermione how to fly, Malfoy suddenly walked over to them with an arrogant expression.
“Muggles are just Muggles. Even if they are lucky enough to get into a magic academy, they can’t compare to pure-bloods like us. They don’t even have a decent broom.”
“Even if your family is rich and your clan is prominent, does it all have anything to do with you? You’re just someone who relies on your ancestors’ legacy. What’s there to be proud of?” Hermione wasn’t one to stay silent after being wronged, so she directly refuted Malfoy’s words.
"These are all family property, and as a member of the family, I should naturally be proud of them. What's wrong with that, you poor Muggle?" Malfoy replied smugly.
"Hermione, forget it. He's just a spoiled brat. Why bother arguing with him? You should use that time to practice your flying skills instead," Momo said calmly, pulling at Hermione who was still indignant.
"What did you say? I challenge you to a duel, and the loser has to bark like a dog three times in front of everyone." Malfoy's face turned red with anger.
"I'm not interested in dueling with you. How about this, since it's flight lesson now, let's have a flying contest. If you win, I'll bark like a dog three times, and if I win, you just need to stop bothering us." Mo Mo didn't want to bully a child, so he came up with this method to solve the problem once and for all and stop Malfoy from bothering them.
Malfoy was delighted to agree to Momo's suggestion, because his flying broom was far superior to Momo's ordinary one. In terms of performance, his flying broom was a complete winner. However, when the final result came out, he could hardly believe it, because he had actually circled Momo completely.
"This...this is impossible. How could your broken broom possibly beat my Nimbus 2000? This is already the best flying broom on the market."
“Nothing is impossible. Your Light Wheel Two Thousand is already a very good flying broom, but it’s still just a flying broom. Mo’s broom is ordinary, but he added several flight-aiding spells to the broom and himself during flight, so it’s only natural that he could beat you.” The teacher who taught Mo Mo and the others how to fly also came over at this time.
After his flying lesson, Harry was exceptionally allowed to join the Quidditch team, and Halloween quietly arrived. During the Halloween dinner, the cave giant from the original series was released. Hermione was not made to cry by Ron because of Morpheus, but she still ran to the toilet before the giant attacked because she had drunk too much water.
In the original story, Hermione ran to the toilet to cry because she was angry with Ron. Later, Ron, feeling guilty, dragged Harry to find Hermione and accidentally saved her. He then took the blame for running around and became friends with Harry and the others. Later, he even joined them in exploring the secret of the three-headed dog they had found in the basement, which led to the later plot. However, this time, the plot changed because of Momo's entry. Now, not only did Harry and the others not go to find Hermione, but they didn't even notice the three-headed dog in the basement. This is because Malfoy was completely focused on Momo and Hermione and didn't bother Harry at all. Therefore, when the cave giant appeared, Momo left the group and headed towards the toilet.
Before even reaching the restroom, Mo Mo smelled a odor that resembled that of old socks that hadn't been washed in years, combined with the smell of a public restroom that had never been cleaned.
This must have been emanating from the cave giant. After taking a few more steps forward, Mo Mo saw a tall figure, over three meters tall, nearly four meters tall, with dark skin that resembled gray granite.
His body was bloated and swollen, like a large pebble, with a bald head as small as a coconut shell on it. In front of him, a petite figure, though trembling with fear, bravely prepared magic to defeat the cave giant.
"This is the Cave Giant? It's so ugly!" Although he disliked the Cave Giant's appearance, Mo Mo's hands were not slow, because the giant club in the Cave Giant's hand had already been raised and might fall on Hermione's head in the next second.
He collapsed to the ground, vanished without a trace.
A moment of unconsciousness, coupled with Mo Mo's self-created "Disappearance," reduced the already weak Cave Giant, along with his club, to ashes. After all, although the Cave Giant looked tall, in the original story, even an eleven-year-old boy like Harry could knock him unconscious with a stick, showing how weak he was. Of course, if an ordinary person were hit by his club, they would definitely be turned into mincemeat.
Hermione had been in despair, thinking her life was over and she had even closed her eyes. But just as she closed her eyes, she heard an unusually familiar voice, which made her heart, which had been dead, start beating again and she opened her eyes. Then she really saw that person, the one who brought her courage when she was lonely and helpless. At this moment, having escaped death, something inexplicably appeared in her heart, something that quickly took root and grew in her heart.
Seeing Hermione standing there blankly, Mo Mo thought she was frightened, so he quickly walked over, gently pulled her into his arms, and stroked her head softly, saying, "It's alright, I've already defeated the cave giant. As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you."
Hermione, who was being held in Mo Mo's arms and burying her flushed face in his belly, felt a sudden tremor in her heart upon hearing his words. A sweet, warm feeling instantly filled her body and mind. She struggled to break free from Mo Mo's arms, then jumped into his embrace, hugging him tightly and burying her head in his shoulder, whispering, "Is what you said true? Are you really going to become my warrior and protect me from now on?"
“Of course, my little princess.” Mo Mo, oblivious to the meaning behind Hermione’s words, answered without hesitation. Mo Mo was completely unaware of what his answer really meant, especially for a girl, even though she was only twelve years old.
Today is Chinese New Year! Wishing everyone good health, all the best, and great fortune in the Year of the Dog! Don't be like me, where the power went out on New Year's Eve due to a line problem. So, I'll only be posting once today. Also, Happy New Year!

Chapter 650 Going Home with Hermione
Unlike in the original story where Harry and his friends were caught and punished by their teacher, Momo and his friend returned safely to the location designated by their teacher. Seven or eight minutes after they arrived at the location, the teacher who had gone to check returned. They had only found some of the ashes belonging to the Cave Giants, so Headmaster Dumbledore happily announced that the banquet would continue.
Although the Halloween event had caught the attention of the school teachers, it didn't cause much of a reaction among the students. However, Harry and Ron still discovered Cerberus in the basement, and the reason was the same as in the original series: a so-called magical duel. All of this started because Malfoy couldn't cause trouble for Morpheus and Hermione, so he set his sights on Harry again.
Just like in the original series, Harry accidentally discovers Filch bandaging Snape's leg injury, which appears to have been caused by Cerberus. Later, in Harry's first Quidditch match, Snape casts a spell that disables Harry's broom, but Ron uses fire magic to set Snape's robes on fire, saving him from the predicament. Harry then wins the match by biting the Snitch (the highest-scoring ball in Quidditch) with his mouth.
After winning the match, Harry and Ron revealed to Hagrid that Snape was after the items in Vault 713 (the Philosopher's Stone). Hagrid, however, defended Snape and told them that the three-headed dog was actually his pet, Fluffy. But he inadvertently let slip the name of Nicol Mailer (the one who made the Philosopher's Stone).
After discovering this, Harry and Ron went to the library to look for information about Nicol Meyer, but they found nothing. Meanwhile, Hermione became increasingly attached to Momo, and their relationship grew closer. Before they knew it, the Christmas holidays were approaching. While everyone was thinking about how to spend the holidays, Hermione found Momo and formally invited him to her house. Momo thought about it and agreed. He didn't have anywhere else to go anyway, and he figured he might as well experience how people celebrate the New Year in a foreign country rather than stay at school.
The holidays have arrived, and Momo and Hermione have already boarded the train home. Harry has also received Christmas candy and a sweater from Mrs. Weasley, as well as a magical invisibility cloak. Using this invisibility cloak, Harry sneaks into the forbidden section to search for information about Nicol Mail, just like in the original series. During his search, he encounters Filch, who is searching for the Philosopher's Stone. To avoid Filch, Harry hides in a room and discovers the Mirror of Erised. In the Mirror of Erised, Harry sees his deceased parents.
It turned out to be a magic mirror that could see one's inner desires. At this moment, Harry was already unable to extricate himself from the illusions in the mirror. Dumbledore noticed the situation and appeared in time to warn him not to get too caught up in it. Of course, that's a story for later. Right now, Harry was happily eating Christmas candy while examining the magical invisibility cloak.
Meanwhile, Momo and Hermione had already gotten off the train and were about to take a taxi to Hermione's house. Hermione's parents were busy preparing things because they heard that a classmate was coming to their house for Christmas. This was the first time their precious daughter was bringing a friend home.
When Hermione's parents opened the door and saw Momo beside Hermione, they were slightly taken aback. Afterwards, Momo felt that the way they looked at him was strange, with a mixture of relief, appreciation, resentment, and displeasure. In short, it was very contradictory. What made Momo break out in a cold sweat was that they did not arrange another room for him that night, but instead made him share a room with Hermione.
Looking at Hermione, who was busy making the bed, Momo said helplessly, "Hermione, did your parents make a mistake? Why did they put us in the same room?"
Hermione tilted her head and said with a puzzled look, "That's right, this is what I specifically requested. Didn't you say you would be my guardian knight? How can you protect me all the time if we don't live together? Besides, my mom and the others have already agreed to us being together, but if you want to do *that*, you'll have to wait until I'm an adult."
Mo Mo: ...
At this moment, Mo Mo finally realized that Hermione had taken his words as a confession from him. But honestly, Mo Mo hadn't thought that much about it at the time. He just treated Hermione like a little sister next door. He never expected it to turn out like this. It has to be said that these developed countries are really open-minded. They know how to date at such a young age. Unlike Mo Mo, when he was this age, he was probably still watching cartoons and playing marbles.
After realizing what had happened, Mo Mo wanted to explain things to Hermione, but when he saw Hermione's clear eyes, he hesitated. Children of this age have very strong self-esteem and poor psychological resilience. If Mo Mo really confessed to her, Hermione might be heartbroken for a long time and cut ties with him. In the end, Mo Mo couldn't bring himself to say it.
"Fine, I'll just treat her like my sister." Mo Mo thought to himself, then took the work from Hermione's hands and started making the bed and tidying up the things he had brought back.
Just as Mo Mo finished making the bed, Hermione's voice came from the bathroom, "Mo, can you come in and scrub my back? I can't quite reach it."
Mo Mo: ...
Mo Mo didn't know how he got through that night. Hermione was such a handful. First, she rubbed his back, then she made Mo Mo massage her, and she was restless in her sleep, tossing and turning and kicking off the blankets. This gave Mo Mo a taste of what it's like to be a father, yes, a father, not a brother.
In the UK, Christmas is similar to our New Year, but they don't have as many rules and customs. At Christmas breakfast, Momo received a small gift from Hermione's parents: a delicate little doll holding a shield and sword. On the back of the doll was engraved the words, "May love always be with you." The moment Momo received the gift, he understood what Hermione's parents meant. They wanted him to protect their daughter, or they would take up their swords like the doll to defend her happiness.
After understanding the meaning of the small gift, a hint of helplessness flashed in Mo Mo's eyes, but he still said thank you and then said, "Love will always be with me, and I will use the sword and shield in my hand to protect my loved ones."
Hermione's parents turned to give her the gift after hearing Mo Mo's words. Since Hermione's parents had prepared all the food for the day, Mo Mo waited for Hermione to put away her gift before accompanying her to the amusement park.
When Momo and Hermione returned home after a long day, Hermione's parents had already prepared dinner. The table was laden with food, not as plentiful as in China, but still quite a lot, including ham, turkey, Christmas pudding, Christmas mince pies, and many other dishes, totaling five or six plates.
After finishing the sumptuous dinner specially prepared for Christmas, Momo and Hermione's family all sat in front of the TV in the living room, watching it. They knew that someone might come to visit that evening, and some of the neighborhood children might come up at any time to ask for small gifts.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 651 Voldemort, who met his end early
The Christmas holiday wasn't as long as the winter break in Chinese schools, and the holiday was always short. In the blink of an eye, it was time to go back to school. Amidst the reluctant gazes of Hermione's parents, Momo and Hermione boarded the train back to school. The best thing about this train was that there was no fear of not being able to buy tickets.
Honestly, although each person has a small, spacious compartment, this train isn't as comfortable as the high-speed rail in China. Even though it uses some magical power, it's still slow and quite shaky. After all, Hogwarts is located in a sparsely populated area where there are no tracks in some places, so even with magical power, there's still some shaking. But thankfully, it's still within an acceptable range.
The day after they returned to school, classes resumed as normal. During this time, Harry and Ron found information about Nicomel and discovered Hagrid reading a book about raising dragons in the library.
