Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 246 The Weasley Brothers ([-])

Gan!
McGuffin immediately remembered that in the original plot, Hermione was petrified by the basilisk here in the library.

It can be seen that there are also basilisks encountered here.

Fuck!
McGuffin quickly lowered his head and looked at the ground... at least, so he wouldn't look directly into the Basilisk's eyes.

There was a sound of something falling behind him.

——Is the basilisk approaching?

MD, if I knew I wouldn't have come to Hogwarts in the first place.

——Or activate [Blood Curse] to turn into a snake?Is it possible to escape like this?

Then he remembered that the [Chamber of Secrets] in the original book was full of the bones of small animals, and immediately gave up on this pitiful notion.

And just leaving Hermione like that...

McGuffin's mind turned quickly, and he came up with all kinds of strange ways to 'escape'.

But it all feels unreliable.

"What are you doing?" Mrs. Pince cursed from outside.

Hitting the table and chairs, there was a mess of sounds.

— followed by two hurried footsteps.

Should go!
McGuffin remembered that Mrs. Pince didn't seem to be hurt in the plot, and she should have scared away the basilisk...

and many more!

Footsteps, what is this?
The basilisk has long legs, the long-legged basilisk?
What the hell is this?

McGuffin thought about it, and suddenly remembered that looking directly at the eyes of the basilisk would not be petrified, only seeing the eyes of the basilisk through things, or through a reflecting mirror object would be petrified.

And behind him is a large bookshelf, where did he find something like a mirror.

So……

Eyeballs shot up, the MacGuffin cast a quick glance at Hermione, though she was still looking wide-eyed and frozen.

But the mouth has been opened wide since no one knew when, and he was extremely surprised.

When did it open!
It doesn't look like a basilisk...

——Ma Dan, labor and capital are scared to death.

McGuffin turned his head to look, and at this time Mrs. Pince also rushed in.

He saw a pair of witches and wizards half squatting on the bookshelf, frantically picking up the dropped books.

The two raised their heads when they heard Mrs. Pince's voice, and met McGuffin's eyes.

They discovered each other.

One of them had red hair like flames.

—Percy Weasley.

Then the other witch is Penelope Clearwater.

This was the first time McGuffin had seen Percy's current girlfriend.

There was no doubt that the Ravenclaw matriarch was very pretty.

She has a head of slightly curly brown-blonde long hair,... gray eyes, giving off a sense of wisdom and intelligence.

Penello's fair and delicate face was slightly red, and he looked a little flustered, but he quickly regained his composure.

When she stood up and wanted to explain.

Mrs. Pince yelled from the side.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Mrs. Pince strode over angrily.

Squinting, staring at a few people.

Like a vulture, it seems to have found its prey.

She stared at McGuffin and Hermione for a while before turning to Percy.

Apparently Mrs. Pince knew the two prefects.

Mrs. Pince's expression darkened instantly, and she asked Percy sharply, "Percy, Penello, what are you two prefects doing here?"

"We're in the library... um, looking around?" was all Percy could say now.

But it was obvious that even Peeves couldn't fool Peeves with such words.

Mrs. Pince looked like you were kidding me.

She waved the blanket in her hand furiously, "It's a shame you two are still prefects... Get out of here quickly..."

"Don't think that you can act recklessly here just because you are a prefect... You don't even find any good excuses, it's far worse than your big brother Bill..."

Percy and Penello hurriedly escaped from the library through the passage near the wall on the other side, avoiding Mrs. Pince.

When Mrs. Pince was angrily picking up the books with the blanket, Hermione finally came to her senses at this time.

Her mouth finally closed.

McGuffin looked carefully at Mrs. Pince, and asked in a low voice, "Hermione, what did you see just now? You look terrified!"

"I saw Percy and Penelope kissing over there...they're so fat!"

Hermione murmured, still unable to believe Percy would do such a thing.

"This is in the library? What the hell are they thinking!"

Obviously doing this kind of thing in the library is unacceptable to Hermione now.

But before Hermione could finish speaking, another group of people broke the calm of the library.

It's Ron.

And George, Fred, -- the twin brothers.

With a playful smile on their faces, they were sneaking around the library, avoiding Mrs. Pince and poking around like she was looking for something.

Finally, I saw MacGuffin and Hermione... Their eyes lit up, and they leaned forward,

"McGuffin, Hermione, ... have you two seen Percy and his girlfriend Penelope?" Ron asked.

"We heard from Ravenclaw that Penelope was in the library, and that Percy wasn't putting on airs in the common room...he must be on a date somewhere..." Fred added.

"We must catch him on the spot... See if he still has the courage to trouble us now?"

Seeing the smiling faces of the twins, Hermione rolled her eyes angrily, and didn't want to pay attention to them.

Although she didn't agree with Percy and Penello at this time, as prefects, they actually violated the rules and dated in the library...and even kissed openly, but she didn't want to pay attention to the pranks of the twins and Ron.

Seeing that Hermione ignored it, Ron leaned over to McGuffin, "What are you doing..."

He pretended to be looking at the message Hermione and McGuffin wrote on the parchment, but it was obvious that this guy wasn't paying attention to it at all...

The next moment, he revealed his true purpose.

"McGuffin, you should have seen it! Don't you want to see Percy with a downcast face, no longer so proudly rubbing his prefect badge all day long?"

It looks like the Weasley brothers have been bitter about Percy for a long time.

After they pestered McGuffin for a long time, they finally angered Mrs. Pince. She rushed over with a blanket and was kicked out of the library together with Hermione.

Until the corridor, they were still pestering the two of them.

In the end, McGuffin had no choice but to tell a few people that Percy had just left with a witch.

"Ha, I knew it!" Ron, Fred, and George were excited and gearing up.

"I said you'd better not go too far! After all, it's your eldest brother and his girlfriend!"

Shir!How to say this sentence is so wrong!
After McGuffin said something, he felt more and more wrong, so he didn't say any more. He just hoped that Percy would be lucky and not be caught by these guys.

……

Obviously, Percy, as a prefect, can rely on this right to travel around Hogwarts to find suitable dating places.

As for the "fart people" brothers, in addition to avoiding Filch, Mrs. Norris, and the Aurors sent by the Ministry of Magic (a few will be rotated every week, after all, the current situation of the Ministry of Magic...),

And he would be caught and beat up by Percy from time to time, giving him a lesson.

This made the three guys even more angry.

Ron even got Harry into the young man... Originally, he still wanted to get Hermione and McGuffin into the 'Percy and Girlfriend's Dating Location Collapse'.

But apparently Hermione scoffed at that, and even turned on Ron, saying 'why should I waste my time on this...'

A line George muttered clearly indicated what they were actually thinking, 'boring,...is this fun? '

Indeed, confining these energetic, destructive little wizards in libraries and common rooms, even if they set up their own Christmas party activities, will be enough to suffocate, these guys will always find their own fun.

Obviously, the action against Percy has become the most important fun for the rest of the Weasley brothers.

McGuffin didn't want to play this boring 'game' with them either.

But in fact, the main reason is——he was frightened by the library not long ago, and he realized that if he was unlucky, he might face the basilisk directly in any place at any time.

For his own kind of "nothing to find trouble" luck, McGuffin now has a point B number.

——And in order not to face the pupils of the basilisk.

He put the big black glasses at the bottom of the press box on his face again, and also performed transfiguration, turning them into something like goggles, ensuring that he would watch the basilisk through a layer (glass) at any time and place.

Even while sleeping.

When Ron saw McGuffin like this, he thought he was out of his mind again, so he stopped pestering him to join his combination against 'Percy'.

But their deadly behavior still made McGuffin very nervous.

He tried his best to persuade a few people, - don't run around in the corridor, if you want to go shopping...you'd better wear a pair of glasses.

But he gave a bad reason.

(MacGuffin couldn't say how he knew about the Basilisk)

And McGuffin himself had been wearing that strange goggle that had aroused Hermione's suspicions.

"I always feel like you know something? MacGuffin..."

"Intuition! I have a gut feeling in my head!"

"I remember reading something similar, but I don't remember the specifics! It's just a vague impression in my mind... After I find that book, I'll show you everything and I'll understand it..."

McGuffin said to Hermione like a fortune teller.

But McGuffin searched the library for those "Deadly Creatures", "Where Are the Fantastic Beasts", "Dark Creatures Created by Ancient Wizards", "Petrification Spells-The Most Worthy Protective Offensive Magic", etc., and did not describe the basilisk in detail.

Although there are descriptions of basilisks in "Fantastic Beasts" and some books, it is obvious that this rare and deadly dark creature is not very popular...

Almost all the books only use two or three lines to simply introduce that the basilisk was created by the despicable Hai Erbo, and it is the deadliest and most dangerous predator.

It doesn't even mention that the basilisk can use the 'pupil technique' to turn people into petrification.

Although the "Biography of the Despicable Haierbo" that McGuffin borrowed from the restricted area some time ago also had an introduction to the basilisk, but apparently it only intermittently wrote about the production method of the basilisk... It did not describe its specific image and attack methods of the basilisk.

"This broken book doesn't even have an illustration or an introduction..."

Frustrated, McGuffin put the book "Snakes, Cats, Birds——On Common Animals Most Vulnerable to Magical Variation" on the desk.

There was a dull sound.

Next to him is a stack of books with similar content, all of which are useless after McGuffin has rummaged through them.

"McGuffin, what are you looking for?" Hermione who was opposite asked a little dissatisfied.

She is studying the description of large animals transforming complex objects in [Transfiguration] by herself... Find some books, and compare the [Transfiguration Today] magazine that Professor McGonagall gave her to learn.

Transfiguration Today is an academic journal focusing on the latest developments in the field of Transfiguration.

This journal will publish both tips on transfiguration spells, new discoveries of theoretical studies of transfiguration by some of the more eminent and knowledgeable transfiguration masters in the field, or some new super-difficult transfiguration spells.

The book Hermione is holding is the benefit of joining the 【Transformation Club】.

The MacGuffin had one, too.

The two of them originally joined the [Transformation Club] during this semester as alternates, or as reserve players,...but obviously due to the continuous happenings of this semester, until the end of this semester, they still did not participate in a formal meeting held by the club.

It can be seen that...it is very likely that until the next semester, the [Transformation Club] party may not be held normally.

So Professor McGonagall, who is the resident editor of the magazine "Transfiguration Today" at Hogwarts, took out two magazines and handed them to McGuffin and Hermione... I want these two talented guys not to neglect the study of Transfiguration because of the current situation at Hogwarts.

Perhaps for Hermione, this is tantamount to pointing out the way forward.

But for a pseudo-genius like McGuffin... he already knows what he can learn by himself, and he doesn't have the energy to insist on understanding it now because it is too difficult.

And now his most important thing is to find that damn book about basilisks, to find reliable arguments for doubt.

MD!

Dumbledore should know about the basilisk...even Hermione in the original plot can analyze and guess it through the information...why didn't he remind others...what the hell was that old bee thinking?
After McGuffin heard Hermione's question.

He sighed and looked up at Hermione, maybe she knew something?
"Hermione, do you know where there is a book in the library that describes very dangerous but rare magical animals... or some kind of very deadly dark creature?"

Although McGuffin asked, he didn't really hold out any hope.

He had already asked Mrs. Pince, but with his vague description, even she thought...McGuffin was playing with her, and was furious...almost kicked him out of the library last time.

"Oh! You have to go to the bookshelf near the restricted area to find it. Most of the new books now...that is, the books arranged by category in the front do not describe these dangerous magical creatures, only the old books in the later years will describe them...and those books are placed on the bookshelf near the restricted area!"

Unexpectedly, Hermione actually understood what McGuffin was going to say, and made a very useful suggestion.

So McGuffin corrected the strange goggles, and went to the back alone to look for it according to the very saying.

Only when he found this book, could McGuffin make suggestions to Professor McGonagall in an open and honest manner... Finally, according to reasonable suspicion, he took Harry and the others to make the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets public.

In this way, Dumbledore can be left, Snape can be right, and Professor McGonagall will be able to beat up the little basilisk together with Professor McGonagall.

Indeed, as Hermione said, McGuffin has gained a lot there.

A large collection of old-looking books.

McGuffin flipped through it a little, and it introduced [Five-legged Monster], [Mud Swamp Monster], [Banshee], [Vampire] and other very dangerous and dark monsters in detail...

He had a hunch that this time he would definitely find books with detailed descriptions of the basilisk.

but……

When he returned to his seat with a large stack of very old library books.

Ginny sat next to Hermione with her good friend Luna.

On the opposite side, sitting in his seat were the trio of Weasley brothers who were "tricking Percy and fighting", and there was a helpless young man-Harry Potter.
