Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 381
"—Boom!"

There was a dull sound in the Gryffindor third-year boys' dormitory.

"--call!"

"Uh—ha!" Ron yawned, and Kun stretched his arms, and slowly got up from the bed, "Where is the thunder? The sound—the wind is blowing so loud!"

He lifted the quilt, put on his slippers and stood up slowly, asking Harry with glasses who sat up and fumbled by the bedside.

"what time is it now?"

Through the gaps in the loose velvet curtains, the outside of the castle could be seen in darkness, without a shred of light, and it looked like it was going to rain.

"It's not thunder and wind!" Neville also woke up, and he whispered.

"It's not yet three o'clock! What's going on?" Seamus and Dean's voices also came from the other corner of the room.

"--call!"

"It sounds like someone is snoring." Harry, who had grown up listening to Uncle Vernon and Dudley's snoring, quickly figured out what the sound was.

"However, this voice, this rhythm seems a little familiar—"

Before he finished speaking, he said again, "——luh!"

"Neville, you light the lamp!"

"Oh!"

Neville dawdled in the dark to find his wand, knocking things off from time to time, and finally when he waved his wand to light up the magic bulb on the wall next to him.

Another sound——

"Boom!"

Then the magic light slowly lit up the light from the lampshade, illuminating the dormitory.

Several people blinked their eyes, and after adapting to the light, it was as expected—they saw McGuffin Albert lying on the bed with his clothes on, face down, and fell asleep.

Rhythmic snoring was coming from there again and again.

"—Boom!"

"What's the matter with MacGuffin, he looks miserable!"

Harry put on his glasses and said with a strange expression that although Uncle Vernon's snoring was also very unpleasant, it was the first time he had heard that someone could turn his snoring into a thunderous effect.

Several people in the dormitory also stared blankly at McGuffin sleeping on the bed in a strange position.

"How can he fall asleep, isn't that uncomfortable?"

Ron greeted Harry, "Turn him over first! Otherwise we won't be able to sleep."

The two came round the MacGuffin's bed,

Just as Harry was struggling to turn him over, he screamed.

"Ron!—this, this?"

"Scatterers?—That's Scabbers!"

Ron was also dumbfounded. He watched as Harry pulled out a fat mouse that had grown into a ball from under the McGuffin's arm.

The tail was hanging upside down, and it was left in Harry's hand, with some faint marks on its appearance.

"What are you talking about? It's too fat! Er..."

"It does look a bit like it! It does have a toe missing from its front paw."

Ron yelled in bewilderment, "Scabbets? How did it appear here? So... I wronged Hermione, and is there that crazy cat?"

"Spotted!"

Banban didn't respond, the guy's tail, head, limbs and calves were all stretched out in a daze, posing a specimen posture of being "divided by six horses", and the whole body swelled into a round ball.

When Harry lifted its tail, the mouse actually turned 180 degrees and floated into the air like a balloon.

The raised tail has also become pulled.

"How is this going?"

——Boom, boom!
The voice is getting louder and louder!
Harry and the McGuffin had to turn the McGuffin over first. (After turning over, although there are still voices, but at least it is within the acceptable range)
At this time, Seamo and Deannawei also arrived.

They found a large candy wrapper at the foot of the McGuffin's bed.

"Look, isn't that [Honeydukes]'s balloon lollipop?" Seamus pointed it out.

"It's said that if you eat a little, you'll sleep through the night!" said Dean. "If you lick too much, you will inflate your body and float in the air without stopping."

(Ron glanced at Harry, obviously remembering the warrior's 'heroic' behavior towards his aunt during summer vacation.)
"McGuffin, wake up!"

"What's the matter?"

"Where did you find Scabbers!"

When Ron was about to wake up McGuffin, Harry hurriedly pulled him back and shook his head.

"No, don't you remember what happened to Malfoy when we first met?"

"Let's wait for McGuffin to get up by himself, and then we'll ask him where he found Scabbers!"

Thinking of McGuffin's terrible waking up, Ron immediately shuddered and stopped his movements.

"Okay! But what about Scabbers!"

Seeing Banban's inflated ball figure, Ron said worriedly.

After Dean yawned, he found a string and handed it to Ron, "Tie it up. Look at the pile of candy wrappers. If this little guy eats all of them, the rat will probably be gone until next Wednesday."

"Okay, okay, everyone go to bed!"

Dean Thomas yawned, picked up his wand to turn off the magic lamp, and said in the dark.

Ron was sitting on his four-poster bed holding onto the long string, with a spotted tail cleverly tied on the string. The fat mouse had indeed eaten a lot of lollipops, and it kept floating around like this, sleeping all the time, without any sign of waking up.

He felt that all the drowsiness he had just now had completely disappeared.

Where on earth did Scabbers find the MacGuffin?

Should I apologize to Hermione tomorrow?

Moreover, this idiot mouse gained weight very quickly without him...

There was silence in the dormitory, and Ron lay on the bed for a long time, preoccupied.The thin rope was tied to the head of his bed, and Ban Ban's stupid mouse was swinging around on the pitch-black ceiling, he stared at all this in a daze.

A moment later, he heard Harry drawing the curtains on the four-poster bed, and the soft snores of MacGuffin and Neville.

—Anyway, let’s talk about it tomorrow.

……

A few hours later, Ron woke up to Neville's screams.

"I'm late, it's Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class!"

A group of people hurriedly woke each other up, got dressed, took their wands, and rushed into the deserted common room.

Their Transfiguration homework from last night is still on the desk here.

"It's all your fault! McGuffin! This game is over! Professor McGonagall will definitely punish us... She is very upset these days because of Quidditch, the Ministry of Magic stationing Aurors, and fire dragons." Seamus complained to McGuffin with black eye circles.

"I'm sorry." McGuffin roughly understood what he did last night, and apologized again and again.

He hastily took out of his pocket all kinds of cakes, sorbet, biscuits, and Honeydukes' magic candy that he took from the kitchen last night and handed them to several people.

"Sorry, sorry, let's eat some of this on the way!"

"Wow! Where did you get it from, did you get it from George?" Dean said in surprise, took it and distributed it to Seamus and the others next to him.

Several people packed their things, with sandwiches and cakes in their mouths, and hurriedly prepared to leave here.

Ron originally planned to ask about MacGuffin Banban, but the current situation did not allow him to ask questions, so he could only hold back his own questions.

But Harry grabbed Ron, and McGuffin pointed to another pile of homework on the table, and said, "—look, that's Hermione's. She didn't get up either—"

"No wonder she didn't call us either," muttered Ron.

Immediately, the three of them parted ways with Neville and the others, and found a senior witch who had no classes in the common room, and asked her to go to the girls' dormitory to wake Hermione up.

When a few people woke up, when Hermione, who was about to cry, climbed out of the portrait, and met Pippi again. (This guy blocked them, Pippi wanted to smash a few water balls on them, which caused Hermione's anger. She waved the wand directly and cast the water ball to pursue the Pippi ghosts in their bodies. Due to it, they had to take a magic elevator with a team patrolling the iron helmet armor.

——Don't mention how awkward that feeling is.

Finally, they rushed to the Transfiguration classroom.

As Seamus said, Professor McGonagall obviously has a bad temper these two days.

As soon as they entered the classroom, they saw——

Professor McGonagall, wearing glasses and wearing that tight hairpin, was waving his wand at Neville, Seamus, and Dean.

As the spell was completed, there was a sound of car brakes, a flash of yellow light, and the ground under their feet turned into a swamp, just like Mrs. Hooch once caught Cho Chang in the Quidditch match.

Several people sank to the ground with terrified faces, and only one head was left exposed.

Afterwards, Professor McGonagall stared at McGuffin and the others with stern eyes.

"Professor—Professor McGonagall! We're late!"

A few of them stood stammering at the door and said.

"Obviously everyone here knows about it. I don't care why you are late, and I don't listen to any excuses."

"You guys are already 10 minutes late..."

"When the get out of class is over, I will check whether you have learned the content of this class... Remember, I am likely to conduct related tests during the exam."

Professor McGuffin stared at each of them gravely.

But when it came to Hermione, seeing her flustered, tired, and even haggard face, he couldn't help but relax, "Granger, come with me when you finish class, I have to remind you of something..."

"Hurry up and find a place to sit down!"

She said bluntly to several people.

Maybe it was Hermione's presence, or maybe...

McGuffin had some inexplicable feelings in private... Maybe it was because of his own reasons. In short, Professor McGonagall did not give the four of them the same treatment as Neville and the others.

——Using them as humanoid targets to demonstrate the transfiguration spell to be learned today.

However, it was clear that Seamus and the others were right, Professor McGonagall was indeed very angry.

Although her classes are usually very strict, the tone and expression of this class made the little wizards present tremble even more.

Wait till the MacGuffins find their seats and sit down.

Professor McGonagall waved his wand again, and under the watchful eyes of the other little wizards, Neville, who was about to cry without tears, Seamus and the others gradually surfaced again.

She went on to say, "Okay, this is the presentation of the content of this class....As I said before, first open the Chapter 324 of "Intermediate Transfiguration" and the second 16 pages of the "Transfiguration Today" magazine that I copied for you."

"Check out the detailed and abbreviated construction of a Large Transfiguration above, and how to cast a large Transfiguration easily and cheaply with the Nuogan technique."

"Today's class is very important. It will be the most basic part of your large-scale transformation in the next semester, and it is also an essential point in the adult wizard level exam. You must keep it in mind and study it deeply."

"Then, now start to deform the long table in front of you, shape and change its texture... into clay, into metal, animals and plants, recall all the spells I have given you, use one of them...to turn it into anything."

Sounds simple, but they quickly learned that there is a big difference between deforming a large object versus a small one.

Not only do you have to learn how to save magic power during spellcasting, but you also have to take into account the overall situation... For example, Neville turned half of the top of a long table into leather, and half of it out of control into some kind of lumpy surface that swallowed mucus. Green pus splashed everywhere, which was disgusting.

This annoyed Seamus who was sitting next to him in the same group.

But this guy is not much better, he almost burned his desk into a sea of ​​flames.

The black smoke was billowing, and the faces of half of the students in the classroom were blackened, and they coughed repeatedly.

It was McGuffin who took the first step to restore it to its original state.

Even though Hermione was not in good spirits, she was the first to succeed. She transformed her desktop into a certain shape on the surface of the moon, full of desolate silver-gray rocks, and cratered moon-shaped mountains.

Afterwards, the McGuffin, whom Professor McGonagall had been staring at, was the second to successfully cast the spell.

He shaped the tabletop into a circular labyrinth, with a few feet of earth-gray stone walls growing up from the tabletop—layer by layer, forming winding corridors.

Moreover, Professor McGonagall insisted that he show the [Untraceless Stretching Curse] in it, to see the learning progress and see if there is any possibility of losing control.

McGuffin was forced to wave his wand.

"Stretch without trace!"

The labyrinth began to be continuously expanded, and the labyrinth space on the entire desktop gradually expanded, replacing the original space, and even formed a spherical distorted space on the desktop.

After Professor McGonagall waved his wand and turned Neville's textbook into a mouse and sent it into the maze, it even showed the effect of the [Untraceable Stretch Curse].

As soon as the mouse entered the sky above the maze, it shrank instantly in front of everyone, becoming a matchbox-sized existence, and fell into the corridor maze, where it kept turning around, and did not come out until the end of get out of class.

This made the little wizards peeping and observing exclaimed again and again.

After the get out of class bell rang, Professor McGonagall called Hermione to the podium, and she said something to Hermione with a worried face.

At this moment, while waiting for Hermione, McGuffin and Harry struggled to restore the tabletop in front of them to its original state.

(McGuffin's maze was extraordinarily laborious, and so was Harry's, where he created a small mini-forest on a long table that looked like the Forbidden Forest, but actually looked more like a cornfield.)
Ron looked carefully at Professor McGonagall on the podium, and asked McGuffin unnaturally in a low voice, "Where did you find Scabbers?"

It wasn't until now this morning that he finally had the chance to ask the question.
