Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 238 Out of Control
At this moment, Gilderoy Lockhart, who was stunned in place, also recovered.

"My office is not far from here, Professor McGonagall..."

"Thanks, Lockhart! But I have to inform Professor Dumbledore that they..."

Professor McGonagall rejected Lockhart's 'kindness' and said with a straight face.

"You are still the prefects, together with Mr. Filch, get the little wizards back to the dormitory..."

Lockhart drove away the little wizards a little dejectedly,

"Okay, you should go back!"

After a commotion, only McGuffin, Harry, and Professor McGonagall were left in the corridor...

oh!And a living sculpture of Malfoy.

"You come with me," said Professor McGonagall again.

She flicked her wand, causing Malfoy to levitate, and Harry and McGuffin carried Malfoy.

Everyone was silent.Until Professor McGonagall led them to stop in front of that ugly monster (this one was bigger than the two stone statues of the same shape in front of the staff lounge).

"Iced lemonade!" she said.

The monster came to life, rolling its stone eyeballs twice, then leaping aside, the wall cracked in two behind it.

Behind the wall was a spiral staircase, slowly moving upwards, like a wizarding escalator.

When they entered it, when they queued up, the back wall closed automatically again.

Through the ascending spiral staircase, they came to a shiny wooden door.

On it is a brass knocker of a griffin.

This thing was still alive, it bared its fangs and roared.

Until Professor McGonagall tapped with his wand, revealing that he was the vice-principal of Hogwarts.

The wooden door was slowly opened,

This is the Hogwarts headmaster's office, where Dumbledore lives.

They stepped up the stone stairs, went in through the door and came to an interesting room.

It was a wide circular room full of all sorts of funny oddities and sounds.

Ron's eyes were straight, and he completely forgot about their current situation.

Everything here seems to be alive.

On the table with slender legs, there are many magical silverware... There is a kind of mercury-like liquid flowing in the slender pipes and vials that are intertwined and connected with each other. After being heated by the green flame, blue-purple smoke is sprayed out.

There is also a model of the solar system floating above them. Planets of different sizes emit fluorescence and rotate continuously.

There are more Diagon Alleys that don't have weird things so I won't list them one by one.

(There is an empty birdcage frame shaking constantly, it seems that the phoenix of Fox has followed Dumbledore to the Ministry of Magic)

There are three layers of partitions on the top of the wall, and there are all kinds of magic and alchemy props that look very old... The top one is the tattered, crumpled wizard hat.

Or the (crazy) Sorting Hat.

This thing saw McGuffin leaning forward and back, and kept moving back on tiptoe on the brim of the hat. It was obviously terrified of the little wizard.

In the corner of the other room... the two rows of bookshelves near the inside are filled with various ancient books, which seem to be Dumbledore's private collection... or the library is too dangerous, and Dumbledore puts outdated books here.

(Among them, the "Alchemy Book of Alchemy" borrowed by Hermione and McGuffin last semester is still there shining goldenly)

Hermione's eyes also straightened, and her steps moved there unconsciously.

"Ahem—"

There was a sound on the walls, which were covered with portraits of old headmasters and headmasters.

Some were still snoring in their respective photo frames, some had woken up, and those who woke up wondered why Professor McGonagall came to the principal's office at this time.

"Professor McGonagall, what are you doing here! Dumbledore is not in the office..."

"I know, I just... it's just that I have to go to the Ministry of Magic to find him. I know that there is the only Floo powder channel that can directly connect to the Ministry of Magic in one direction. I need to use it..."

The old headmasters in the portrait were taken aback, and they huddled together in an oil painting and muttered to discuss. (The scene was so crowded that a few 'principals' were almost pushed out of the frame)
"Yes, but when you come back, you must have Dumbledore open this passage in person..."

After some discussion, one of them, wearing a golden ring and dressed like the headmaster of an ancient nobleman, said to Professor McGonagall in a pinching tone.

"You wait here,... watch Malfoy... don't move, don't move!"

Professor McGonagall's tone was stern, and he kept telling all the little wizards.

But her eyes were fixed on McGuffin. It was obvious to Professor McGonagall that as long as she was not around, this guy would cause disaster.

This is too unfair!
McGuffin was very unconvinced.

However, when Professor McGonagall stood in front of the majestic-looking stone fireplace, stepped over the bronze grille, and was about to light the fire and sprinkle Floo powder.

At last McGuffin remembered one more thing to tell her.

"Close your earplugs and listen!"

He hastily cast a spell on Luna and Ginny Weasley.

"Professor McGonagall!"

"I have something to tell you..."

He ran to the fireplace and told the vice-headmaster directly about the Parseltongue, the vicious words hissing from the walls that he and Harry had heard.

Professor McGonagall looked at Harry, and he quickly confirmed McGuffin's statement.

McGuffin was relieved a lot now.

Things like basilisks should be left to the bosses to deal with.

Although it is said that under the iron halo of Harry's head as in the original plot, MacGuffin may still get Phoenix Tears (one of the antidote ingredients for the blood curse), but the pupil technique of "staring at someone who is pregnant" can only be tolerated by Harry's iron baby.

And even if the rooster is brought in, behind this different plot, who knows what the black wizard did...

McGuffin should keep his little happy Hogwarts life.

As for the materials, I just need to collect a lot of talent points, except for Phoenix Tears (snake spirit blood and venom here probably refer to the materials of the Basilisk! At least McGuffin thinks so) should be able to collect all of them,

As for the Tears of the Phoenix, even if Dumbledore can't ask Fox for it... as long as McGuffin spends more talent points, he should be able to save some materials through the system.

This blood curse is not a problem.

And don't take too many risks.

——All this is in the plan of 'Beautiful'.

Professor McGonagall looked at Harry and McGuffin silently.

"I see... I'll be back with Professor Dumbledore soon..."

She sprinkled Floo powder, green flames whizzed out of the fireplace and wrapped around Professor McGonagall, and she disappeared in an instant.

……

Not long after, after the green light of the fireplace flickered, Dumbledore, wearing a purple wizard robe, patted his robe and walked in.

He didn't stop long in front of the fireplace.

After that, as sections of green flames continued to flash, Professor McGonagall, Snape, Fudge, Lucius Malfoy... all came out of the fireplace.

After a while, the spacious principal's office was even a little crowded.

"Draco!"

Lucius Malfoy obviously already knew what happened to his son, and he scanned for traces of Malfoy as soon as he entered this office.

His usual pretentious face was paler than usual, and his golden, silky and well-manicured shawl-length hair was also different from usual... messy and piled together.

Lucius held the silver-encrusted cane and pushed Dumbledore and the professors away, and came to McGuffin and the others, staring down at Harry and McGuffin with a dangerous look...

So much so that McGuffin thought for a moment that he had lost his mind and wanted to hit him with a cane...

Soon, his eyes fixed on Draco Malfoy behind him,...

Malfoy's 'living sculpture' was moved to a corner of this office by McGuffin and Harry. (ie behind them)
It's hard to describe the look on Lucius Malfoy's face right now.

It wasn't a mournful expression, no pain, no anger... Fear and panic flashed in his eyes... He stared at McGuffin and the others closely, with a cold look in his vicious eyes.

Dumbledore followed Lucius with the other professors, and they also came up...and saw Malfoy's current appearance.

Some of the professors just gasped...not speaking.

The atmosphere suddenly became eerily quiet.

Soon the extremely weird atmosphere in this situation... was broken by an extremely painful scream.

"what--"

A heartbreaking scream came from a woman's heart.

Narcissa Malfoy stumbled...almost crawling out of the fireplace.

She could hardly speak any complete language.

A look of despair.

Unlike the shiny outfit she saw at the end of the Quidditch match, she was now covered in soot and her hair was utterly disheveled, almost like a victim of the Imperius Curse who had escaped from St. Mungo's Hospital.

The disgusted expression on her face disappeared.

Just look sad!
Narcissa Malfoy, she could only open her mouth wide, sucking air out of her lungs and blood rapidly,...breathing heavily, as if losing her mind,...Like a wild animal, she bent over and rushed straight through the crowd to Malfoy's side.

"enough!"

Lucius Malfoy stopped him and hugged his rushing wife, (to prevent her from smashing Malfoy's living sculpture). He took a last look at his son Malfoy's current appearance, glanced at Harry, McGuffin and the horrified expressions on their faces, and gritted his teeth word by word to Dumbledore, "Albus Dumbledore...you must give us an explanation!"

"Why does this kind of thing happen in Hogwarts...how did my son Draco...become like this?!"

"cough--"

Cornelius Fudge stepped forward, coughing.

"Lucius... I know it's a bit inappropriate for you to say this now, but you should be more sensible!..."

"Dumbledore led most of the Hogwarts professors to assist me in the Ministry of Magic... Aren't you also staying in the Ministry of Magic all the time? You should know..."

"In addition, the Ministry of Magic assisted in formulating a new version of Hogwarts' security regulations just for this situation...to protect students from black witchcraft!"

Lucius snorted coldly.

Obviously, he felt that Fudge's words at this time were the greatest irony.

"I heard of Draco?" Fudge was a little unsure about the name of Lucius' son, and there was some doubt in his tone. He paused for a moment and continued, "... Was it found in an unusual corridor?"

"What do you mean! Connelly!" Lucius yelled angrily, "Do you mean my son deserves it? He became like this... because he was running around in the corridors of the school. Does he deserve it?"

"No, no, Lucius... I didn't mean that..." Fudge stammered and explained, the huge pressure brought by those [giant plant incidents] for nearly half a month made the Minister of Magic very tired and aging.So much so that his brain was running sluggishly like an old car.

Perhaps because Lucius mentioned Malfoy's current appearance, Narcissa Malfoy suddenly woke up. She struggled to get out of Lucius' embrace, pulled out her wand, and yelled illogically and meaninglessly at the McGuffins.

"It was them, it was them... that killed my son... that killed Little Dracora!"

The tip of the wand lit up, almost bursting with red light.

"I want you to pay the price..."

"Cutting out..."

No one would have thought that Narcissa Malfoy would actually use the Unforgivable Curse - [Cripple Carpal Bone] in front of Dumbledore, Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge...and so many Aurors and Hogwarts professors.

And Dumbledore, using the light provided by this office, began to examine Malfoy carefully.

The professors are also watching closely to see what conclusions Professor Dumbledore can draw.

No one expected this scene.

For a split second, the professors didn't even have time to pull out their wands to stop Narcissa's madness.

--boom!

Bang bang bang bang!

MD!

"So in the end, you can only rely on yourself."

When he was in a hurry, McGuffin subconsciously used [Soundless Wand] [Levitation Curse], and threw Narcissa to the wall with a wave of his hand.

She fell heavily, and the magic items placed on the walls smashed on Narcissa's body.

McGuffin secretly thanked himself for his timely response. If Lucius' wife was to face Dumbledore in front of Dumbledore and the Minister of Magic to face the savior... so many little wizards abused lynching with a [Cruciatus] curse.

Then I'm afraid this plot is about to collapse (si).

Although it is now a mess, all kinds of incomprehensible progress? (The chamber of secrets was opened for no reason, the horcrux disappeared,...and that giant plant...this makes the original HP magic world view almost like aliens invading the earth, and the earth's defense and protection battle...)
What's more, he had experienced Quirrell's Cruciatus Curse last semester, and that feeling was uncomfortable, and he didn't want to experience it again.

"Little lunatic! How dare you..." Lucius pulled out a wand from the silver inlaid cane, and pointed at McGuffin angrily.

"Lucius, you must put down your wand..."

Now there is an even angrier person present.

Obviously, everyone at the scene used magic spells to attack each other directly in front of him one after another, which completely made Cornelius Fudge furious.

He roared loudly, his eyes fixed on Lucius Malfoy.
