Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 276 Boundary Distortion and Alienation

"what are you doing?"

A soft voice suddenly sounded in McGuffin's ear.

"I'm looking for a way out!" McGuffin said angrily.

He was holding his breath because he couldn't find a way out.

Then McGuffin realized how there could be a voice in this place.

He was so scared that he trembled and almost fell from Ravenkalaw's ears.

(He's re-examining the Big Four for some secret hidden passage or magic door... that would get him out of here.)
The ghost of Ms. Gray suddenly appeared in front of him, her figure floating in the air, dotted with silver light, shimmering slightly in the dim light.

"Ms. Gray? Why are you here?"

"...No, great? Let me out now...I have to inform the professors to go to the [Chamber of Secrets] to rescue Harry and the others. They are facing Voldemort alone...and the Basilisk!"

"I must get out of here quickly!"

cried McGuffin anxiously.

"That can't be done!"

The lady said quietly, "Now this place has been completely sealed off by me, and no one can go out...unless Dumbledore can come in and deal with this mess in person!"

"Mess?"

McGuffin had some very bad premonitions.

"Yes, I rushed over as soon as I felt that someone had opened the inheritance of this old classroom...but it was still too late."

"You have obtained the inheritance, right? Which one?"

"Needless to say, seeing that you are fine now, it should be Hufflepuff's World Tree, right? That means her inheritance is the simplest and harmless..."

Ms. Gray hooked her fingers, and the world tree seed that was originally placed in the pocket of the MacGuffin robe slowly floated up, circling and disturbing in mid-air, emitting fluorescence.

After observing carefully, she waved her palm again, and the seeds floated to McGuffin again.

He reached out to catch it and asked, "Why can't I go out? Harry and the others..."

Before McGuffin could finish, Lady Gray interrupted him.

"There is a reason why the old classroom was closed... It hasn't been opened for so many years, I thought that everyone in the world who knew that secret was gone! I didn't expect..."

"Someone is still chasing clues!"

"Isn't it just breaking through the boundaries of magic? Is this so precious?" McGuffin was a little impatient.

——Les Finley was still accepting the inheritance of Slytherin there, he had to leave here before that guy woke up, and Harry was probably falling in love with Voldemort now... Just in case, he had to notify the professors as soon as possible.

But McGuffin's words seemed to have angered Ms. Gray a little, she didn't speak, but snorted coldly.

Get out the bronze book that the MacGuffin couldn't find anywhere.

Flip to one of the pages and gesture on it.

In a flash, McGuffin returned to the starry sky above the old classroom.

That is where Les Finley is located.

The dense fog of seven colors is filled here, like water flow, like tulle, constantly rippling, some are light, some are heavy, some are thick, some are light,... But in general, the surroundings are colorful and silent, completely blocking McGuffin's sight.

"Don't move! Little wizard!"

"Look at how lucky you are!"

Ms. Gray said coldly.

She flipped through the bronze book again, when the writing on it lit up.

The dense fog suddenly became a lot more translucent, McGuffin felt like he was in an aquarium, looking at the fish in the aquarium through a layer of glass.

But then... what the hell is that!
—a humanoid creature taller than Hagrid crouched behind the mist.

First of all, the most striking thing is the giant face three times the size of ordinary people.

The facial features and appearance above are completely distorted, and there is no human appearance.

snub nose, or a pig nose with three nostrils,
Four eyeballs on the left and right, arranged in sequence on both sides of the giant face.

A cloudy light green color.

And there are no eyelids, they can't close, they can only move around in different directions.

Mouth full of fangs and teeth, shining... like diamonds...

Wait...diamond teeth!
What is that thing?

— Les Finley?
McGuffin looked again at the fragments of clothes hanging from the monster, and sure enough, he found more details.

The monster in front of him...he might indeed be the second-hand store owner who was threatening him before, Les Finley.

It was as if a rocket engine had been added to McGuffin's heart. It was beating so fast that it was about to shoot up from his throat.

This guy, didn't he say he was going to pass the Slytherin test.

how……?
He carefully observed the changes in Les Finley's body again.

Now Les Finley, or that monster, was naked, covered with a thick layer of dark green diamond-shaped scales, the color gradually became lighter from the torso to the limbs, and became whiter and brighter as it reached the hands and feet.

The scales are stacked on top of each other, twisting and wriggling, and the McGuffin even seems to hide strip-shaped parasites as thick as fingers under the scales.

Not only that, this monster is still constantly alienated, McGuffin saw that its tongue has become a forked letter of some kind of snake, and it is constantly swallowed and licked.

Muscles and scales gather towards the back as they squirm.

It even tore off the scales on his back, and a pair of small hands like toddlers stretched out from under his shoulders,

Still growing rapidly, gradually getting stronger.

Arms, arms gradually stretched out...

And this alienation continues.

After a while, Les Finley became a monster with six arms, just like those gods and monsters in mythology.

It's just a matter of pressing two heads on the neck...it's three heads and six arms.

"What is this?"

McGuffin turned to Ms. Gray, hoping for an answer.

"This is the consequence of a fool who accepts the Slytherin heritage...!"

"I have completely alienated and distorted myself in magic!"

"I don't have the ability to break through the boundaries of magic, but I hope to gain the power that I can't bear, and finally the magic power on my body completely alienates my body..."

"This is Slytherin research..."

"At the beginning, he wanted to study the bloodlines of various races and their special magic to understand and understand the essence of magic, so as to break through the boundaries of magic... To some extent, he is the closest to success among the Big Four."

"Through understanding and learning, a wizard can indeed touch the boundaries of his magic... At least he can break the magical boundaries between races... He can even make magicless Muggles cast some magic in the end!"

"It's ironic! A guy like him who put forward the theory of pure blood proves that everyone can perform magic more or less. It proves that we are no different from Muggles!"

"But...?" Ms. Gray seemed to see what McGuffin wanted to ask, and she said directly.

"But you haven't heard of it now, have you?"

"There is a price for all this... There is a price, and this scene in front of you is the price——Slytherin called it the alienation and distortion of magic power!"

"He was the first to discover this phenomenon! Or he rediscovered the secret that ancient wizards are as powerful as gods."

"Magic has limits... This can be clearly seen from Muggles and us wizards."

"Muggles are different from us because they cannot adapt to magic. Their inability to cast spells is actually a self-protection mechanism, and even they will automatically ignore the existence of magic, which is also the same principle."

"Let them cast magic rashly, they will only be drained, or driven crazy... This is the distortion of magic power."

"But why don't we?"

"Haven't you seen the effects on those powerful wizards?...Those crazy wizards, this is the distortion of magic power....It will unknowingly affect the wizard's brain and sanity, which can be more or less reflected in other wizards...The stronger the magic power, the more talented wizards, the more paranoid and crazy wizards will be, especially those talented little wizards."

Gan!
McGuffin always felt that Ms. Gray seemed to be talking about herself in a meaningful way.

Before he could think too much, Ms. Gray went on to say: "As for the wizard in front of me now, he is not prepared and capable at all to touch the essence of magic power... He just wants to break through the boundaries of magic power, and the result is what he is now - devoured and alienated by magic power!"

"This alienation of magic power...the Big Four even suspect that it has something to do with the mysterious soul!"

"The inheritance left by Slytherin is the experimental data for all of this.... Various races and magical creatures have benign alienation in magic power, and have changed biological signs and created various innate magic."

"It seems that this wizard is influenced by basilisks, murlocs... East Asian giants and spider-like magical creatures!"

"In addition, the inheritance left by other giants or the experimental method that has not yet completed the verification of breaking through the boundaries of magic... the consequences are not much better than this!"

"Both will cause the alienation and distortion of wizards, but it is slower and the results are slightly different..."

"It was opened because of the research on this subject, and it was closed because of a series of terrible accidents!"

"For thousands of years, this old classroom has been hidden like this!"

"Until you are not qualified to touch the boundaries of magic... It is better for wizards to maintain a little awe, so as not to offend the real 'dragon' and fall to a tragic end."

"Now you know why the school motto of Hogwarts is called 'Do Not Disturb the Sleeping Dragon'!"

MD!

McGuffin suddenly felt that the world tree seed in the robe was too hot to touch.

He didn't want to wake up one day and become a tree man...

Perhaps the expression on the little wizard's face changed too obviously.

Ms. Gray was so amused that she couldn't stop giggling and couldn't speak. (McGuffin knows for the first time that the ghost can still breathe).

She didn't tell McGuffin until she calmed down.

——The inheritance of Hufflepuff is the safest and least likely to succeed.

"The growth of the World Tree either requires extremely pure and huge magical power. Of course, it is almost impossible for one person to provide it...or it is supported by many wizards, but the growth of the World Tree will take an extremely long time... And this time unit is based on the current situation. It is based on thousands of years."

"You can use your magic power... just like casting a spell to make the seeds germinate, but that's probably all you can do. However, even this will greatly help and improve your understanding of magic power and spell-casting skills in the future."

"But it will unconsciously draw a certain amount of magic power from you every day to maintain its own vitality..."

"There are good and bad...you decide for yourself!"

McGuffin looked at the seeds of the World Tree, and then at the eight-eyed and six-armed 'demon' Les Finley, and asked,

"Is he still sane? Is he still alive?"

"Do you think such a monster is still human?"

"He has failed to accept Slytherin's inheritance now! There is no way to wake up from that [dream]!"

"If you are asking if he can cast magic? I don't know... After all, every monster type that is alienated from its own magic power is a brand new species that has almost never existed in this world."

"But one thing is for sure, this thing must have some savage instinct of intelligence."

"According to my memory at the time... This monster must be bloodthirsty, twisted and crazy... Its pleasure is to destroy all living life."

"Without exception!"

"And they are all extremely powerful! Once they get out of trouble, it will bring disaster to the school!"

"So let's just wait here for Professor Dumbledore! I've already told the bloody Baron... Once Dumbledore is free, he will come here as soon as possible."

"Now there are magic defense devices set up by the Big Four, it can't find us... so we are safe for the time being."

Ms Gray added.

"temporary?"

McGuffin said in his heart, 'The hole is exploding! '

Not to mention Les Finley, a powerful wizard who turned the entire magical world upside down (McGuffin guessed that the old bee Dumbledore was deliberately indulgent, and he didn't believe that guy didn't find anything suspicious),

Just so silently 'hang up'.

It was still killed by the things left by the wizards thousands of years ago.

These are all 'old silver coins! '

A little carelessness is such an end!

Not only because McGuffin feels that another victim who has been cheated has appeared in front of him, but also because of the magic contract he signed with Les Finley earlier, there will be no problems, right?

And of course Harry, what are they doing now?It also made McGuffin a little worried.

(Harry probably fell in love with Voldemort in the [Chamber of Secrets]... I don’t know if it still develops according to the plot.)
And now he is still facing the Terminator, Alien, Predator, Piccolo... um!Something strange had been mixed in, anyway, facing that monster was stressful for the McGuffin.

Although Ms. Gray promised that nothing would happen, let him wait for someone at ease.

But to put it nicely, he's not a ghost... he can turn invisible and walk through walls.

Just as he was thinking, McGuffin suddenly noticed that the eight eyeballs of the six-armed monster that Les Finley had alienated were staring straight in his direction.

Shir!
What a mess!

Doesn't it mean that it can't be found... foolproof and safe?
——I believe in your shoes!
