Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 230 An 'Ordinary' Winter Morning
On the morning of December, the warmth that I haven't seen for a long time is covered in the dormitory, and the winter sun shines brightly on everything.

None of them, McGuffin, wanted to wake up early from the bed.

It's not Sunday, but there are no other classes... and if there are, it's only taught by ghosts like Professor Binns.

Astronomy and Charms are taught by the ghostly Lady Gray of Ravencla,
The Potions class was taught by Slytherin's ghost bloodman Baron...but all the students in the Potions class were trembling, and because there was no professor, they could only follow the oral instructions in the textbook and couldn't practice... How about Snape?

Since most of the other ghosts have classes to attend, and the professors are not in the Hogwarts castle, Peeves becomes more and more lawless, fighting wits with the students in the common rooms and corridors every day, or fighting with Filch in the eternal corridor war.

Also because of this, Filch has initiated the tenth vote to get rid of Peeves, but it is useless.As long as Hogwarts exists, Peeves, an elf created by castle magic, will continue to exist like this.

And the remaining professors in twos and threes at Hogwarts Castle would patrol the entire castle at night from time to time to ensure the safety of the little wizards.

This of course caused the original teaching plan to be greatly delayed or changed...and...

This situation has been going on for a week.

The reason for this was the daylighted copy of the Daily Prophet by McGuffin's bedside.

It was also because they had been discussing this newspaper all night last night and barely slept... So there was also a reason for the bed curse.

Talk back.

The big photo on the front page of this newspaper shows an incredible, or somewhat familiar and strange giant plant.

The background of the picture is the same familiar location,

Diagon Alley, Gringotts,
The original beautiful white red-roofed building towering over the surrounding buildings has been broken through the ceiling by a huge fir plant, straight into the sky.

The other surrounding roofs were filled with black wizards, and they held wands and cast various spells to attack this thing.

A large group of goblins also continued to angrily cast their demon fire to burn the plant that seemed to protrude from the underground vault.

In this huge photo that almost occupies the entire page, it can be seen that some terrified adult wizards are dragging the little wizards to escape in a hurry; some ragged wizards want to take this opportunity to rush into Gringotts, and then are caught by goblins; ... there are also goblins with huge suitcases, surrounded by wizard guards, and want to leave here in a panic; Go here everyone.

——That's right, in addition to Hogwarts, the Muggle London Bridge, and Gringotts in Diagon Alley were also attacked.

The "Daily Prophet" used an entire page, three front and back pages, to report on this incident in a big way.

No, it would be better to say that all the magical newspapers and magazines during this week, and even a certain American and foreign magical newspaper "New Wizard" that Lee Jordan got, also continued to report on this unprovoked attack.

The reporters seemed to be in a carnival.

Of course, the traditional arts of Hogwarts are also spewing out various artistic creations and re-adapted works.

Among them, McGuffin, Ron, and Harry used to play the leading role in this kind of story with huge plants. Of course, in the growing rumors, they soon became Dumbledore, and of course Voldemort, or other famous dark wizards.

Even Lockhart and Professor Snape take on some decent drama.

As for who is the protagonist of that great glory... I can only say that there are a thousand Hamlets among a thousand readers... In the discussion of Hogwarts little wizards, that protagonist will always be somewhat like himself.

Not much to mention, get back on track.

In Gryffindor, when no one in the second-year dormitory woke up, a chubby, round old mouse with a short pinky one year quietly crawled up to the newspaper.

(From time to time, he stares very nervously at the little wizard who is still sleeping with his head covered. Any sound makes 'it' tremble with fright, hiding himself, but this guy is still more eager to know what happened in the past two days...or the content of this newspaper)

Scabbers, uh!Peter Pettigrew turned over the "Daily Prophet" newspaper and read it by the sunlight:

……

Gringotts attack follow-up series (latest edition)

The Ministry of Magic confirmed today that the terrorist attack at Gringotts the day before yesterday was of the same type as the 'Giant Hogwarts Halloween Rafflesia' incident the previous month and the 'Giant Catkin' incident at London Bridge a week earlier.

While the investigation into this type of indiscriminate terrorist attack is still ongoing, according to this newspaper from reliable sources at the Ministry of Magic... it was perpetrated by unknown black witches and wizards from the same organisation.

But there is still no official news that such cases have made significant progress.

"We are working hard to reopen the case," Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge repeated his original remarks this morning. "We implore the magical community to remain calm and provide all possible information."

But according to reliable information - the Ministry of Magic is recruiting Aurors, and even the famous former Auror Mad-Eye Moody has been hired back. (It is rumored that Moody's mental state is worrying now, so we can't help but wonder if the situation has deteriorated to such an extent?)
And Dumbledore led most of the Hogwarts professors to participate in the investigation of this incident (if you don’t understand, please find the front page of the "Daily Prophet" you subscribed to last month... This kind of incident first came from the giant Rafflesia incident at Hogwarts on Halloween.)
There are also wizards from the International Federation of Magic, some volunteers from famous wizard families, and Aurors from other countries who stayed a few days ago to investigate this incident together.

This incident was recognized by the International Federation of Wizards (Magic) through a resolution-this is a terrorist attack that endangers the magical society all over the world, and will expose wizards and magic to Muggles.And the main culprit of this terrorist attack will be wanted in the global magical world.

But for some members of the International Federation of Wizards, they clearly disagree with Fudge's approach.

Among them, some wizards once privately criticized Fudge for not telling the Muggle Prime Minister about this matter, which greatly reduced the dignity of our wizards. (Mr. Lucius Malfoy, a member of the famous pure-blood wizard Malfoy family, denied that he had ever said such a thing)

Fudge was very angry about this, and he directly refuted the rumors that provoked his relationship with the Magic Federation, "Now it's war...we are in a war. Some crazy and radical dark wizards want to expose our world to Muggles and provoke a war between two worlds, which has long been expressly prohibited by the National Magic United Convention. We must inform the Muggle Prime Minister in advance and prepare for the worst, let alone let us face this reality—if he tells it, who will believe him? Muggles will only believe what they want to believe .Those radical groups of dark wizards are our enemies."

This event was followed 12 years ago by You-Know-Who, the Death Eaters, which nearly exposed our world to yet another serious nature of the dark wizarding world of Muggle society.

There are rumors that this is still a mystery of You-Know-Who, and it marks a comeback of You-Know-Who.

My statement was not confirmed by Dumbledore. (Another note: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has been closed, completely isolating anyone from entering or leaving the school. Unless there is an order from Dumbledore or Minister of Magic Fudge, parents of students can understand the students in advance and end this semester)

After seeing this incident, the Muggles were wiped out by Aurors and amnestics from all over the world. They were told that the world might be aliens... UFO
(This is a genius idea concocted by the US Ministry of Magic...some Muggles believe that there are other beings on the moon, or Mars, or other planets, and hide in the dark and travel between the earth and outer space by means of a circular Frisbee vehicle)

In addition, the goblins of Gringotts once again emphasized today that nothing was stolen or damaged, and the Gringotts headquarters in the UK has not received any harm.

The underground vault, as well as all the money and wealth on the counter, have been safely transferred to another secret underground vault in England under heavy guards.

A Gringotts goblin spokesperson said this afternoon: Gringotts has not suffered any losses, please do not panic, all wizards’ underground vaults can be withdrawn after a period of time, or after the value is judged by Gringotts professionals, they can be exchanged for equivalent gold Galleons in other Gringotts branches in the UK or foreign branches.

It is said that Gringotts privately issued a reward of five thousand galleons in the black market for the arrest of the mastermind of this incident. Even if the goblins of Gringotts provided authentic and credible clues to this case, they would get rewards ranging from hundreds of galleons.

Some famous dark wizard hunters are eager to try it.

Gringotts refuted this, saying it was nonsense, they absolutely respected the Ministry of Magic, and believed that the British Aurors would solve such cases in a very short period of time.

……

Pettigrew checked carefully to see if there was any information worthy of his attention, whether it was related to the Death Eaters or the mysterious man...

Even the thought of the possibility made him shudder.

After so many years, he had already adapted to the life of a mouse. He didn't have to worry about the world discovering his true colors, and he didn't have to be afraid of those Death Eaters coming to him again... Although he felt a little shameful, the life of a mouse was good for him.

(Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, when the little wizard is asleep, find those "little partners" who will not betray him to relieve boredom...)
When [Quilinas Quillo] arrived last semester, he carefully avoided that unusually suspicious guy—it turned out to be true, and afterwards it turned out that that guy had a big problem.

And now he also had to figure out this matter in advance, so as not to interfere with his peaceful rat life.

But this strange friend of the MacGuffin Albert Ron always stared at him with a strange look, which made him vaguely feel that he was exposed.

On the one hand, he comforted himself that this is impossible, no one knows himself...

Or the person who knows his true face is still in the prison of Azikaban, and the other one is still lingering in the Black Forest of Romania according to what his children told him... If no one helps, the black wizard who made Pettigrew Peter tremble even thinking about it should not rise again...

And he himself will live like this forever... until that dirty secret disappears from this world.

As long as he is careful not to be discovered by others...

Peter Pettigrew thought so, and suddenly the McGuffin Albert, whom he had felt a little weird before, got up, but he got out of his bed carefully.

(Peter Pettigrew jumped into one of Ron's stinky shoes in a fright, almost killing the mouse),

The little wizard crept up to Harry's bed even more sneakily than he did.

Whenever the little wizard babbled in his dream, or made some slight noises... the guy who seemed to be very guilty would be frightened. He immediately shook his body and looked around, looking very suspicious.

This guy came to Harry Potter's bed, stretched out his left hand and gently stroked Harry's forehead, constantly touching the scar left by Voldemort.

Finally, the guy had a perverted satisfied smile on his face.

Is it?

--no!can not watch anymore.

Peter Pettigrew hypocritically thought, although he betrayed him back then...

But after all, he couldn't watch the only blood of Lily and James suffer such perverted treatment.

At least he can't be in this unknowing situation, he must rule out this dangerous sign.

Somehow, Pettigrew's little courage ignited in him. (Or in other words, he can only show the courage he hopes for in front of creatures that are much weaker than himself)
He jumped up and tugged at the "Daily Prophet"... along with Bibi's multi-flavored beans, Martian lollipops, chocolate frogs, colorful sandwiches and other snacks... All kinds of strange things fell from the bedside table in a mess, making a loud noise.

……

2 minutes ago, McGuffin's perspective.

--what!

Finally got up early.

It's not easy, fighting against the curse of sleeping under the bed! —especially in winter.

McGuffin had actually decided long ago to complete the mission about [David Goodman]. (The crystallization of Harry and Voldemort's love,...the specific reference should refer to this scar. The wand McGuffin has already been tried, and it is not a completion condition)

It's a pity that when going to bed at night these days, there will always be people staying up late.

Since most of the professors in Hogwarts Castle went to support the Ministry of Magic's investigation of the incident, the bunch of little wizards here have become even more 'disturbed'.

Although Professor McGonagall is still stationed here to maintain order, and has issued an order that students who have not obtained ordinary wizard qualification certificates (OWLs) are not allowed to hang out in the school, which confines a large number of young wizards in the library, professors, auditorium, and common room. These are the first-line life circles.

But it makes them even more manic.

Stay up late every night to make up for homework (the professor is not there, but the homework has increased a lot, which makes all the little wizards complain very much), and then even want to play with revenge... and then sleep in the class of the ghost professors the next day...

In short, due to various reasons, McGuffin can only choose the time when everyone is still sleeping in the morning to complete this task.

Of course, he also thought about negotiating friendly with Harry, but no matter how much he rehearsed, he couldn't say "let me see your scar", "let me touch your forehead!", "..." and other types of words.

Shir!
Really 'ambiguous'!
Let's work secretly!

So after several days of trying, McGuffin finally got up today.

He came softly to Harry now, touching the scar with the softest of movements.

After a while, sure enough...

→【Completed】

A contented smile appeared on McGuffin's face.

——That's right, another [-] talent points have been earned.

If this continues, it will be more confident to lift it by yourself, or prevent the [Blood Curse] from happening.

Just when McGuffin was about to reach back.

There was crackling in the room, and a lot of things fell to the ground.

To suffer!

McGuffin saw Harry open his eyes immediately.

The savior who had just woken up immediately froze.

His green eyes are
With a dazed face, a bit at a loss...staring at the scene that he couldn't understand at the moment.

I'm so... damn!
- This is an 'ordinary' winter morning at Hogwarts!
