The ground beneath the black cat seemed white—not hot, not cold—merely an existence, a flat, empty thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned its head and saw a large, dilapidated Victorian-era building standing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around the large Victorian building, broken streets gradually extended outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The streets had originally been short, ending just near the black cat’s paws, but now they had completely enveloped the Victorian building and revealed faint, blurry shops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cat gazed at them for a moment with quiet curiosity, then turned its attention to its own fluffy chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, a tuft of silver-white fur rested, along with a faintly outlined rune stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cat visibly sank into disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Resurrection Stone had not been brought in—why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Threshold did not allow items to be brought in, why was the empty rune still here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Threshold permitted items to pass through, why not the Resurrection Stone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cat felt intense curiosity, and it knew that perhaps someone could answer its questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it set off, and as it ran with graceful agility, the tuft of silver-white fur on its chest grew larger—not because more fur had appeared, but because the black cat itself had grown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time in the Threshold seemed to slow, and it passed for an unknown length.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because the black cat had walked far enough, or perhaps because it had stayed long enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw several wooden cottages, each differing in appearance but all sharing one common feature: a small door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes words were written above them: 【Waiting for Lucky Knock】, sometimes simply: 【For the Lucky Black Cat】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ink-dyed Cloud Embroidery’s cat-leopard head filled with confusion—what were these?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What were these houses?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had it done to bring it to a place where more wizards gathered, even though no wizards were inside these cottages?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And stranger still—what did these words mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucky Black Cat—was that what it thought it was?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ink-dyed Cloud Embroidery’s cat-leopard shook its head, puzzled, and passed through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More time passed in travel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It arrived at a small cottage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smoke curled steadily from the chimney; the wooden walls bordered a front yard blooming with flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ink-dyed Cloud Embroidery’s cat-leopard vanished; a black cat stepped naturally into the front yard and passed calmly by several peculiar objects placed before the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—A rusted sword, a variety of colorful plants, a finely crafted staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cat entered the garden, where raised pumpkin vines hung copper-bottomed pots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the pots, curved ferns and vines dangled; as the black cat passed beneath them, they once again tried to groom its fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing, observing, the black cat reached the wooden door, raised its paw, and knocked—ignoring the small door below and the sign reading “For Black Cat Only.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a wizard, not a real cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door creaked open, revealing a pine tree adorned with colored lights; beneath the lights lay a fluffy orange-yellow rug, upon which rested a round stool and a plush toy of a black cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Greene, I’m so glad to see you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena said with delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cat leapt onto the round stool; a teapot floated over and poured steaming pear juice into the round cup before it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cat’s whiskers blurred with steam; its ears twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Helena seemed more lively than ever—before, she would never have said such things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You found us again. It seems we’ve been pulled back onto the same thread.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rowena was playing a peculiar game of chess with Helena; Wizard Sean instantly recognized it as the Oddball Wizard Chess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How had Oddball Wizard Chess come here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You lost, Rowena. Your wisdom doesn’t always serve you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena laughed triumphantly, for Rowena’s knight had knocked her king off the board; the king screamed and fell, headless and senseless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a failure of a king—even his own knight wants to kill him…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rowena sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What I’m more curious about is—who made this wizard chess? Who designed a game of pure chance for wizards?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who knows?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena stole a glance at the black cat, waved her arm lightly, and began gathering the pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Victory is so hard-won—luck is on your side, dear Helena.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rowena said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then my student, dear Mr. Lucky Black Cat, what question lingers in your mind—one even memory cannot answer?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cat had already leapt to the edge of the chessboard; it confirmed—this was indeed Oddball Wizard Chess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You seem confused. This board was brought by Helena.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rowena Ravenclaw said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Rowena, can items freely pass through the Threshold?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cat asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rowena said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cat’s tail stopped swishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at your empty rune—is it truly empty?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rowena smiled mischievously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cat hurriedly looked at its Soul Artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t it shaped like a little cat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rowena’s smile widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cat rubbed its eyes with its paw, astonished to find the empty rune had truly changed shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You trust her too much!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena interrupted Rowena, and at once, the empty rune reverted to its stone tablet form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s not funny.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cat seemed to understand something, curling up to gaze at its empty rune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She loves to play tricks… isn’t that terribly annoying…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena sat beside the black cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Greene, let me tell you—if you firmly believe an object exists, it will be brought into the Threshold.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cat’s ears twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So if you waver, the Threshold will take away your magic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena explained slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand, Helena.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cat’s guess was confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not help but recall the rare description of the Threshold in the original text:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Harry wished he were wearing clothes.
