Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 438 System Settlement at the End of the Third Semester

On the night of the end-of-term banquet,
The Gryffindor table was very lively (Slytherin was naturally not very happy, especially DeLS Malfoy was pouting... but since Hermione taught this guy last time, she always avoids Hermione's eyes for some reason)

During the noisiest moment of the banquet, the Gryffindor students followed suit and dragged Lupine, the popular Dark Arts professor, to their table.

(Jordan... including Dean and Seamus, none of them disliked Lupine's identity as a werewolf)

Everyone sat down with Professor Lupine and raised their glasses to celebrate Gryffindor's three consecutive championships in the College Cup (by the way, we bid farewell).

However, because Percy was too happy, he drank a lot of absinthe and muttered with his big tongue beside Lupin. He said that after he entered the Ministry of Magic's Law Department, he would gradually amend the law...to change the living conditions of werewolves in the wizarding world.

Much to everyone's embarrassment, the twins shove the dazed fellow under the table.

(On the second day when the seventh grade was going to take a graduation photo for the male student representatives, everyone found this guy who was still sleeping soundly...)
In this warm atmosphere, even McGuffin's mood became much brighter.

He forgot the fact that the [Blood Curse] on his body was getting more and more out of control, and he also ignored the fact that he was going to deal with Voldemort's boy band's "debut" soon... and the even more nonsense recovery of magic power...

All kinds of troublesome things were deliberately forgotten by him at this banquet.

Of course, part of McGuffin's optimism also comes from the task settlement on the system interface...

……

[Name: Great Wizard Training System NO234]

[Task: Alchemy Book of Alchemy (not yet), Legendary Event of Hufflepuff College (not yet), World Tree Cultivation Method (unfinished - progress 67%, has reached the growth stage...can improve the host's perception of magic power, improve the host's perception of space dimensions...increase the purification rate of black magic power...improve the purity of the host's magic power),

——The description of this mission has a lot of traces of smearing. Even if a few key characters are revealed, they are only confused and cannot form a sentence at all. McGuffin studied it carefully, but still can't figure out what was written on it.

But from the things revealed above... Then connect with Dumbledore and the description of the original plot.

He guessed that the so-called three sacred artifacts, such as the bone elder wand, should have a very special role in this mission, not just three powerful and special magic items as described in the original plot, and should have a deeper connection with the deepest secrets of this world.

The secret of the nursery (not),
The connection between the twin wands (1 Know from Ollivander, the secret of the two Thestral tail feather wands (not yet), 2 Actively research and explore the connection between the Thestral tail feather wand and the bone elder wand in your hand (not), 3 Enter the unknown dimension of space (completed)),

Exploration and Research on Unknown Space Dimensions (Progress 0.211%▇▇▇ (a large piece of smear) - it seems that there are still many things that cannot be understood clearly)

[Blood Curse Effect: When entering 10%, the cursed person can master the transformation of snakes...25%...50%...90%...finally change the mind and slide towards the beast...]

[Semi-snake (gray) (cannot be activated temporarily)]

[Note: Due to the stimulation of absorbing the dark magic power of the dementor, it has a unique reaction to the blood curse with a state of more than 50%]

[It can greatly enhance the physical strength, agility, and certain abnormal movements of the caster... Snake-like sense of smell, will have unique eyesight... Perform some kind of mild magical transformation on the caster, affecting its magic power, so that the caster can only cast curses, curses and other black magic that maliciously hurt people... Can produce fangs, secrete a special magic toxin...]

[If you want to activate this state autonomously, you need the host [Blood Curse] to have an erosion rate of more than 50%, and stimulate your own magic power to combine with negative emotions... But this state will greatly promote the [Blood Curse]'s erosion of the host, and even transform it into some kind of irreversible magic deformation...]

Talent points: being counted... 200→210→221 (continuously changing...)
……

McGuffin automatically ignored a lot of new and wordy 'unknown' tasks, and focused on talent points, talent, and skill growth.

Especially due to the final settlement of the task mechanism at the end of the semester, it can be said that McGuffin has made a lot of "talent point windfall".

Now that the talent points are sufficient, this not only allows McGuffin not to worry about the sudden loss of control of the [Blood Curse] on his body for the time being (the talent points can be used to temporarily prevent the sharp increase in the erosion rate), but also allows him to finally experience the luxury of "upgrade and add points"!
Perhaps after the settlement is completed, his own strength can be greatly enhanced, even if Voldemort's men's team makes their debut at that time, they don't have to be so frightened.

Even if the "spiritual energy is revived"... If you can keep up with it in the future, then McGuffin can also become a "Shuangwen" muscular man... Let's push and beat all dissatisfied, and spread the stories of my elder brother's various legends in the society...

In this way, the banquet ended in McGuffin's joyful vision,

He was so excited that night that he didn't sleep much at all.

……

So when the Hogwarts Express left the station the next day, McGuffin was almost sleepwalking and pulled into the carriage by Professor Lupine.

By the way, Professor Lupine left with them on the Hogwarts Express.

Originally, he planned not to cause trouble to the school, and planned to leave Hogwarts in a Thestral carriage.

(Because if you get off the train at King's Cross and are seen by wizarding parents, you can't stop causing trouble.)
But for some reason, Fudge sent an Auror over, specifically asking Lupine to take this train, and after persuading Harry and Ron, Lupine had no choice but to agree to come down... the same as when he came... He sat with McGuffin and the others in the last compartment of the car.

The Hogwarts Express started to leave the train an hour and a half later than usual.

(The reason for this was the twins' prank last night, when a drunk Percy was almost ignored under the Gryffindor table.

After the professor and the house-elves searched hard for half a day this morning, they found Percy Weasley, who was snoring loudly... He was disheveled, his hair was disheveled, and he appeared in the graduation photo of male student representatives with a disheveled appearance... Afterwards, he took a long time to pack his luggage, which naturally caused the train to be directly delayed. )
Once on the train, Percy was yelling... he was going to crush the heads of both George and Fred.

Angrily, he searched for his brother in every compartment and every compartment, and finally calmed down when he saw Professor Lu Ping present.

After all this confusion, McGuffin had no intention of going back to sleep.

By the time he came fully awake, shaking his head and rubbing his face, Harry was holding the compartment door and carefully asking Professor Lupine for information about Sirius Black.

"Professor, do you have any news about Sirius... Padfoot?"

DeLS Malfoy's scream came from the corridor outside, and Harry immediately changed his address to be careful.

"Don't worry, Dumbledore has already told me... he should live with Snape."

Harry had a horrified look on his face, "That's what I'm worried about, Professor Lupine... Hasn't Snape always hated Padfoot so much? What if he..."

"Harry, don't call me Professor, I'm not your professor anymore... Just call me Lupine or Remus."

"You don't have to worry too much. I once questioned why Professor Dumbledore believed in Snape so much... Later that night when he and... Padfoot rescued you together... I also understood the reason a little bit. I think Sirius should know the reason behind this, so he agreed to live with Snape and accept his surveillance of him..."

Lupine's expression was a little dazed, he recalled the image of Snape's Patronus, and said in a daze.

"But...why?"

Harry couldn't understand the situation...

It wasn't anyone, it was Snape!

How could Blake agree to 'cohabitate' with him.

If he...even if forced by the Ministry of Magic, he couldn't bear it for a day.

At one point Harry even actually thought a little bit about Percy's utterly nonsensical 'boy ticket' theory.

Under Harry's questioning, Lupine flustered and bluntly changed to another topic, "Harry, maybe you can go and see Black... to know if he is doing well now?"

"really?"

"where is he?"

"I don't know either, maybe you can ask your aunt to find out..."

"Aunt Petunia...how does she...what does that mean?"

Harry was puzzled, and Lupine explained,

"In your mother's former residence...in Snape's original old house...there is a Muggle living area. Dumbledore and Fudge thought it was too conspicuous for Padfoot to live in Hogwarts...and Snape proposed to temporarily live in the old Muggle house left by his parents, so as not to attract the attention of reporters like Rita Skeeter...This was unanimously agreed by Professor Dumbledore and Fudge, both of whom thought it was a good idea."

"Professor, you mean..." Hermione's eyes widened.

"Well, Harry's mother and Snape grew up together." Lupine hesitated for a moment, but still said the big melon.

The news shocked Harry, and he didn't recover for a long time.

And Harry knew very well that Aunt Petunia definitely didn't want to have anything to do with his mother, and she definitely wouldn't tell her and his mother where their original home was.

The atmosphere in the compartment became a little dull.

Professor Lupine obviously realized what he said was wrong, but he didn't know how to comfort Harry.

It was Hermione who provided Nuoqian's surprising news in an attempt to liven up the atmosphere.

She told MacGuffin and Harry that she had stopped taking Muggle Studies and had re-submitted [Time-Turner].

After hearing this, Ron complained very much. He was very indignant that Hermione and McGuffin were hiding this from them, especially McGuffin... before [Marauder's Map], and Scabbers...

As he talked, he and Harry sat aside to sulk.
