Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 208 Coldness
In the end, Ron and Gildero reached this agreement, or a deal.

At noon that day, everyone was finally able to return to Hogwarts Castle.

The original rancid smell finally disappeared, but it was replaced by the smoky smell and the strong floral smell similar to the third greenhouse.

Moreover, although Dumbledore verbally stated at the time that he would not punish Ron and the others, the incident this time was so serious that even the Ministry of Magic sent someone to inquire... It is said that Malfoy's father, Lucius, even added fuel to the board of directors, so that Professor Dumbledore had to re-announce the punishment for McGuffin and Ron a few days later.

——It is said that it will last for a month, and every weekend night, there will be tight closures.

But fortunately, in the next few days, the little wizards finally stopped worrying about the Hogwarts cataclysm and the Howler letter.

The only thing worth mentioning is that McGuffin and Hermione became alternate members of the [Transformation Club] organized by Professor McGonagall.

(Though it looks like Professor McGonagall kind of regrets agreeing.)
In fact, everyone except Harry's day-to-day life started to get dull.

In addition to his homework this semester, he also has daily tasks to complete.

—trying to avoid Gilderoy Lockhart, and Colin Creevey.

He, a poor little wizard, would become extremely awkward when he met these two people.

Whether it was Lockhart's rhetoric, pulling Harry's fame for consumption, or Colin's crazy chance to "greeting" and taking pictures, he was always at a loss on the spot.

And this kind of thing happens two or three times a day.

Three days later, the wand that Lockhart had given Ron arrived by owl post, although Ron always had to play out scenes from his books with Harry in his lessons.

——Usually Harry is a werewolf, a vampire, and he plays Lockhart's little followers, such as little old men, little girls,...etc.

(This made everyone else laugh, including Hermione)

As for Professor Lockhart—of course he is the powerful and handsome wizard with the most perfect smile, he always saves the weak (funny) buffoon Ron...to show his greatness and justice.

"Look out! At least Ron, if you observe Professor Lockhart closely, you can use your strengths... and learn something..." Hermione always comforted him like this.

"What are you studying...acting? Maybe after graduation I can find a magic theater through this experience..." Ron said weakly.

"Indeed, maybe Ron, you have a great talent for being funny...you see other people laughing...uh!" Harry said mockingly, causing Hermione to glare, and stopped the rest of the conversation,

"Hahaha... Uh! Gulu!" Originally, McGuffin was laughing.

Hermione glared at McGuffin again, and he swallowed and stopped laughing.

And Ron paid another price—accepting an interview with [Daily Prophet].

It is also conceivable what kind of image he is in the newspapers, a brash and thoughtless kid.

He got a new wand anyway.

— At least that's something to celebrate.

At the same time, Harry was woken up again by Wood every morning, and began to practice Quidditch.

As for McGuffin, he was staring at his parchment system, trying to figure out where he could get some talent points.

He hadn't come out for so many days, and he had already forgotten that there was a system.

……

[Name: Great Wizard Training System NO234]

[Skills: Occlumency (Master), Levitation Curse (Extraordinary 19%), Transfiguration Curse (Basic), Common Curse (Proficiency—a general description of the range), Blazing Flame (Proficiency), Flock of Flying Birds (Proficiency), Soul Imperishment Curse (Expert), Ancient Magic (Proficiency), Midas Touch (Grey is not available),...]

[Courses: Charms Class [-], Potions Class [-], Transfiguration Class [-], History of Magic Class [-], Herbal Medicine Class [-], Astronomy Class [-], Defense Against the Dark Arts Class [-], Magic Theory Advanced, Flying Class (you can use your self-created rocket magic broomstick to fly in this special form)]

【天赋栏：魔力爆发（Leve1）、魔力回流（1/3）、蛇佬腔【MAX】（人/蛇形态皆可用）、血咒变身【灰色·不能提升】（蛇）、炼金术之心（1/3）……】

[Status: Blood Curse (Activated)] (Progress 35% → 38%) (Unicorn blood and unicorn have been suppressed, fading, and it is expected to reduce the erosion rate by 5%)
[Blood Curse Effect: When entering 10% of...]

[Talent points: 0 points]

[Missions: How the ghost professor was made, the alchemy book of alchemy, the legendary event of Hufflepuff College, the solution to the blood curse, the golden legend of Merlin, the death of Voldemort...]

……

McGuffin looked at the task bar of the parchment, thinking about which of the remaining tasks would be easier to complete.

——[The way to break the blood curse]?

The sudden [Blood Curse] aroused not long ago reminded McGonagall that he still had a sword of Damos hanging over his head all the time, no matter whether Voldemort or other people made him nearly exposed... The [curse] on this body must always be resolved.

And even if it can't be lifted, you still have to get some talent points... If the remaining talent points weren't used up in the Ministry of Magic during the summer vacation, it wouldn't be such a big deal.

(At that time, it can be suppressed through talent points)
From this point of view, it is better to find the task that is easy to get talent points first and complete it.

By the way, there is also the last fixed settlement mechanism [final task settlement], which can also get a lot of talent points.

This time a final exam is required. (I didn't expect him to say this sometimes)
MD!I remember that in this plot, due to the rampant basilisks, the final exam was cancelled.

Although Ginny didn't get the [Horcrux] (Voldemort's notebook) now, who knows?
McGuffin felt that the [Blood Curse] on his body was activated for no reason, but it was very suspicious... In short, the basilisk must die, and Voldemort's Horcrux must also find a way to destroy it himself.

After all, there is still a task of [killing Voldemort]!

(If you personally destroy one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, you can get Voldemort's knowledge fragments and spellcasting skills. The improvement Quirrell brought to McGuffin last time made him feel like a big profit, let alone Voldemort's.

And in the original book, Harry can easily destroy Voldemort's Horcrux fragments. )
Even if the notebook is not there, McGuffin remembers that there is still a [Horcrux] (Ravenclar's Crown) in the [House of Requirement]. Although he cannot and cannot cast the [Fierce Fire Curse] now, he still knows that the basilisk's venom is a horcrux that can be destroyed.

However, put these aside.

Now in the hands of McGuffin, the two tasks of [How the Ghost Professor was made] and [Hufflepuff College Legendary Event] are related to talent points, and according to his own conclusion, as long as he establishes more contacts with those professors and wizards, and understands his thoughts, the tasks can always be triggered.

I don't know where I can learn [Instinct] so that McGuffin can also verify whether his thoughts on the system mechanism are correct.

By the way... Since the mission can be triggered from Quirrell last semester, then the mission can probably be obtained from Gilderoy Lockhart, and talent points can be obtained!
McGuffin thought suddenly.

--shake!

But then he shuddered again, as McGuffin thought of the mission upon Gilderoy Lockhart...

Likely some [Daily Prophet] headline, a photo with Harry...and some best-seller sale...

just forget it!
Go around Hogwarts, even if you're not a professor, and see if other little wizards are likely to get the quest.

Especially for those who have obsessions, strong wishes, and people who are likely to complete the McGuffin, let's see if they can get any tasks!
……

"Ha! That's great!"

What a clever little ghost McGuffin thought he was!

Sure enough, his idea was correct.

MacGuffin met Colin Creevey on the way, and under his repeated questioning, he actually sorted it out and came up with a small 'task'.

——【Harry Potter Fan Club】

McGuffin fulfilled Colin's little wish by taking the photos of Harry and Lockhart in Lihen Bookstore that had been backlogged in his hands,
Got two talent points.

Although not many, all wool blankets are rolled from a single wool.

In order to test whether he could still get some tasks, McGuffin brought Colin to the Quidditch pitch again.

The little wizard's face lit up when he heard that the MacGuffin could carry himself to the Quidditch pitch.

Very excited, thanks a lot.

But most of the time it's about asking McGuffin about Harry.

All the way along the lawn to the court, Colin kept asking this and that, and didn't stop until he saw Harry flying into the sky on Nimbus 2000.

I started to take pictures with the old-fashioned camera hanging around my neck.

In the air, Harry saw someone approaching where Ron was sitting. It looked like a MacGuffin, but he was followed by what seemed to be...

An ominous feeling welled up in his heart, and he was almost knocked off by the Quaffle.

(purple smoke rising there)

— Colin Creevey.

really!

"The one who got rid of him just now... McGuffin is really!"

Harry's hands slackened and he almost fell off the broom.

In the stands, McGuffin was discussing with Ron what kind of punishment the two of them would receive tonight.

Want to be ready!

Earlier, George and Fred threatened Ron that Filch had obtained Dumbledore's consent to restore the punishment of the last century-the punishment of hanging up the little wizard and spanking his buttocks.

This took away all the good mood he had been in for a new wand.

"Don't listen to those two nonsense, I'm just locked up and punished...or we're going to be sent somewhere in Hogwarts by Filch...for example, don't use magic to clean things up..."

"No... After the catastrophe at Hogwarts, are there any areas that have been cleaned up?"

McGuffin deduced according to the plot in the original book, but he suddenly thought of a possibility.

Think of the fear of being dominated by that rancid smell before.

The two shook their heads together and looked at each other.

Some things are more terrifying.

Rolling her eyes, Hermione interrupted the two of them scaring themselves.

"Look! Harry is in trouble!"

Several people looked back.

Slytherin Quidditch players in green uniforms were walking onto the field, all holding broomsticks.

Harry and the others descended from the sky just as they were confronting each other.

It was only then that MacGuffin remembered that it was Lucius who had bought seven of the latest broomsticks, the Nimbus 2001, to send his son to the Quidditch team.

hateful!

This is still the case even in the world of wizards.

- Evil capitalism.

Afterwards, McGuffin and Ron and Hermione came down from the stands and walked to the lawn, which was in the middle of the Quidditch field, to see what was going on.

——Actually, he wanted to boost the morale of the Gryffindor team.

After all, these Slytherin players did not know what kind of potion they had taken, and they all looked like orangutans.

As soon as I got there, I saw seven brand new, smooth and shiny flying broomsticks shining in the sun.

It is estimated that there are several hundred gold Galleons.

— Gan!Rich man!

McGuffin felt sour in his heart.

"What's the matter, what's the matter!... How did Malfoy come here!" Ron asked with a puzzled expression.

"I'm the Slytherin Seeker, look, here's a new broom my father bought us!"

"Weasley, this is the closest you'll get to Gallon... After all, everyone knows that your poor family can't even afford a wand..."

Malfoy looked smug.

Ron's expression immediately became embarrassing, he held his wand, and seemed to want Malfoy to know the power of the new wand, but he seemed to think that he was still carrying punishment, and restrained himself.

But Hermione said very sharply, "You can still show off so proudly by spending money to join the Quidditch team..."

"I'm afraid this year's Slytherin is destined to be eliminated early again... If you want me to say that it would be more useful for you to switch to a capable Seeker instead of a broomstick!"

"Otherwise... it's still possible that the big dung egg and the golden snitch are foolishly confused!"

Hermione's words stung the sensitive nerves of the Slytherins.

(Last semester, because of the "big dung terrorist attack" caused by Hermione McGuffin, the entire game rules have been greatly changed, and it has greatly affected the morale of the Slytherin Quidditch team, causing them to lose miserably and be eliminated early)

Their expressions were unfriendly, and they clenched their fists and rattled. Malfoy immediately stretched his face, put away his smug smile, and said viciously.

"No one talks to you! You stinky little Mudblood!"

This ugly word immediately caused an explosive reaction.

Everyone was in a mess, and the gunpowder between the Gryffindor players and the Slytherin players was instantly detonated by this blow.

Although because of what happened before, there is a lot of turmoil in the school now, and the school rules are strictly enforced, who dares to pull out the magic wand first...

But fist fighting with each other has been unable to stop.

Flint signaled the rest of the Slytherins to trouble Harry, while he blocked Fred and George from trying to trick Malfoy.

But because there are female players in Gryffindor and they are relatively weak, even with the help of Ron, for the orangutans in Slytherin... this 'match' is obviously not a heavyweight.

Right now,

McGuffin was a little sluggish, froze in place, and didn't help...

He was in a cold sweat.

Now McGuffin realized that although the process was different, the scene happening now was exactly the same as the plot in the original book.

how can that be!

Obviously... everything has changed so much!

The coldness in his heart couldn't stop making him shiver.
