Showing off to her friends turned out to be a lot easier than Kelly expected.Perhaps it was because Dumbledore had paved the way for her in advance. After the initial shock, most people accepted this fact relatively quickly.And after Voldemort's complete death, Kelly's last three years of school life can be said to be well-regulated and unremarkable.She took the initiative to ask Dumbledore not to choose her as the prefect or the chairwoman of the female student union. Obviously impossible to do this job.However, after being discharged from St. Mungo's hospital, she became interested in medical magic, and volunteered to go to the infirmary to learn from Madam Pomfrey every week, spending the extra time on medical magic.
"Have you really submitted the Auror application form?" Joanna asked as they walked out of the hall after dinner, "I thought you would choose to go to St. More time than in the library."
"Yeah, I hesitated for a long time too." Speaking of them having reached the main entrance of the castle, Kelly withdrew her schoolbag from her shoulders, "But in the end I think Auror training is more useful—don't laugh, Joanna!"
She threw the schoolbag at Joanna, who was gloating and smiling, and the latter easily caught it with a giggle. Hathaway, who was next to her, also made an exaggerated mouth-shape with a smile: "Shut-shut-"
Kelly rolled her eyes at them, walked through the gate of the castle alone, and walked towards the greenhouse.Professor Sprout had given her the key in advance, but the door to the third conservatory was open.Kelly stood at the door and looked into the greenhouse, and as expected, she saw a familiar white hair.
"Elphstone!" she cried, laughing, and the latter turned his head and waved to her.Kelly looked around in the greenhouse: "Come here for a walk again? Isn't Minerva with you?"
"She has homework to correct." Elphstone waved his hand, "I'll come and see my little beauty. Why are you here now?"
"Stop confinement." Kelly made a grimace, "Oh no, don't come too, Hathaway, Joanna, and Bill have been laughing at me all day—"
"You can't deprive an old man of fun so cruelly." Elphstone said and laughed, "What's the matter, our perfect girl will also be locked up? You haven't even deducted points before."
"Strictly speaking, it's not confinement at all." Kelly complained, "I accidentally broke a pot of fang geraniums in herbal medicine class this morning—"
"Oh!" Elphinstone frowned, "Poor little guy."
"Yeah, that's why Professor Sprout made me come and divide the hellebore." Kelly shrugged, "but I guess she's not too angry, at least she didn't ask me to squeeze the boba tuber's thick water ..."
Although she said so, she did not go to the first greenhouse where the hellebores were located, but walked through half of the greenhouse, stood side by side with Elphstone, and looked up at the flower petals hanging from the ceiling. Bright red flowers the size of a pillow.
"She's so beautiful." Kelly praised, "In another half a month, when the color turns purple, she will look even better."
"I still insist that the snow-blue color is beautiful in the severe winter." Elphstone said.
"Yes, I can understand, but I didn't expect Minerva to think that pink is the most beautiful." Kelly stuck out her tongue quietly.
Elphinstone laughed and gave her a push. "Now, go and finish your confinement, girl."
Kelly shrugged and turned to head for the door, while Elphinstone began circling the giant flower, as if to admire it from a different angle.But Kelly hadn't taken a few steps when she heard the sound of a flower pot breaking behind her, followed by the old man's cry of pain.She turned around sharply, just as she saw Elpheus staggering backwards, a crimson spiky branch wrapped around his left wrist!
"Oh no!" Kelly exclaimed, and quickly pulled out her wand as she turned around and rushed over, pointing at the poisonous tentacles that were half a person tall behind Elphstone, "Let loose! Freeze quickly! "
Reluctantly, the poisonous tentacle withdrew its bluish, frost-coated branches—just short of the twigs that would wrap around Elphinestone's shoulders.Kelly jumped over a row of young mandrake plants with her hands on the table, rushed to Elphinstone and knelt down: "Sir!"
The old man's face had turned blue, but his lips were strangely dark red, and the place on his arm where the poisonous tentacles had entangled him quickly became red and swollen.Kelly cursed in a low voice, and the wand drew a complex figure in the air, a blue light shot out from the tip of her wand, and hit Elfstone's injured half of the shoulder, leaving behind a light glowing White marks circled around the shoulders—that was the spell to prevent the poison from spreading further.She pressed the wand against the red wound, murmured a spell, twisted and rolled the wand, and lifted it suddenly, the venom like a red thread was immediately sucked into the air from the wound, Kelly flicked the wand, and sprinkled all of them on the wound There was a chi-chi sound on the sand on the ground.She repeated the spell a few times to see that the redness and swelling of the wound had subsided a little, and then she had time to take two deep breaths to stabilize herself, and she was never grateful that she had learned the first aid spell.
"Can you hear me, Elphstone?" she asked eagerly.
The old man nodded vigorously.Kelly took a deep breath, raised her wand, closed her eyes and desperately imagined that just a month ago, Elphstone took out a delicate and beautiful light blue watch from the box, and Professor McGonagall personally put it on for her. In the hand, congratulate her image of coming of age.
"Call the gods to protect you!" she called.A silver-white antelope rushed from the tip of her staff and disappeared in the direction of the castle.Kelly didn't even give it a hand, and immediately turned to Elfstone, "The spell can only be used in an emergency, we have to go back to the castle-three feet of freezing!" She pointed up with her wand angrily, and a The tentacles sticking out to reach her shoulders froze into ice sculptures in mid-air.
Kelly stood up, summoned a stretcher with a wave of her wand, and put Elphine Stone on the stretcher. She carefully walked around various plants, and started running towards the castle as soon as she got out of the greenhouse door. The students passing by all stared at her dumbfounded.
Madam Pomfrey was already waiting anxiously in the infirmary, holding a bottle of potion in her hand. As soon as Kelly put Elphine Stone on the hospital bed, she immediately bent down to pour him the potion.
"The main wound is on the forearm of my left hand. I have already used the draining spell on the shoulder, about 3 minutes from now..." Kelly panted and explained intermittently. Dare to use it, for fear of affecting your judgment..."
"Very good." Madam Pomfrey commented absent-mindedly, straightened up, threw the bottle aside, the wand in her hand immediately circled and danced in the air, and the blue and white light kept falling on Elpheus. Tong's body.Kelly stared at her every move, firmly memorizing every spell she said. A moment later, the door of the infirmary was slammed open, and Professor McGonagall, who had no blood on his face, strode to the hospital bed.
"He's fine." Before Madam Pomfrey's spell ended, Kelly quickly comforted Professor McGonagall. Even though she herself was in a state of confusion, she could at least understand every spell of Madam Pomfrey's, "The contact area Limited, most of the toxins have not spread, so it will not be life-threatening, and the left hand may have a little rheumatic paralysis in the future..."
"Oh, Kelly!" Professor McGonagall nearly sobbed, and then, without warning, she suddenly hugged Kelly tightly.Kelly froze for a moment in fright, before reacting after a while, she stretched out her arms and hugged Professor McGonagall who was much taller than her, a little helplessly.
"...So, that's it." After the charm class the next day, Kelly said to Bill, Charlie and Patsy who were surrounded by her.The Ravenclaw girls heard the full version last night, but Gryffindor obviously wanted to hear the first-hand story from her, so she was blocked after class, "It's really exciting. People are afraid, I don't think Professor McGonagall will let him go for a walk alone again... That's why I have to go to lock, lock, lock tonight, Professor Sprout gave Ravenclaw an extra fifty But she says I still have to finish the hellebore offshoots..."
"Please, you are too understatement." Charlie said with a smile, "No matter which version now describes you as a brave and witty rescue hero, the patron saint sends messages, brave tentacle monsters, etc. Professor Ge lost his hair from running around last night."
"You're too bad." Kelly rolled his eyes at him, "No, it's just a poisonous tentacle, and you can also use the Patronus Charm, and Professor McGonagall's hair hasn't shattered, and my first aid magic is better than Pomfrey's." Ma'am is still far away, I just happened to be lucky, I am not a master of prophecy, the poisonous tentacles can be solved with a freezing spell, do you have any questions?"
Bill and Patsy both laughed, and even Charlie stuck his tongue out and smiled at her. "So, dragons are not more dangerous than plants at all."
"There is absolutely something wrong with your logic and career ideals." Kelly complained about him mercilessly, as she picked up her schoolbag and walked out with everyone, "Speaking of career, Bill, you really plan to become Gringotts The Curse Breaker?"
"After hearing what you said about the things you foresaw, I went to find out, and I feel that this career is really suitable for me." Bill shrugged, "Why?"
"I was wondering..." Kelly said slowly, "Bill, would you like to go to other worlds with me?"
She has been thinking about this problem for a while. The first few years have proved how inconvenient it is to be a young girl. If you travel to an older era in the future, women cannot join the army, can not freely choose their careers, and have no choice of marriage. It's even worse, it's much more convenient to have an adult male around.
Traveling through space does provide such a function. In each world, she can choose a person. As long as she explains all the relevant rules to the other party, and the other party is completely voluntary, she can spend 100 influence points to bring this person along with her. next world.In the next world, if the character dies, Kelly herself dies, or the time is over ten years, the other person will automatically return to the original world, with the same body and the same time. For people in this world, Maybe it just felt like he disappeared for a second.
This rule is actually very cost-effective for Kelly-the impact of the people she brought is all on her own head, think about it, if she can bring Dumbledore, just by How much change can his ability bring to another world?Kylie did consider convincing Dumbledore, but eventually gave up on the idea.Firstly, she doesn't think she can persuade the principal to go to a different world; secondly, even if she can, Kelly has absolutely no way to command Dumbledore, she can only obey his layout, which means that her own actions will be greatly limited.Although Dumbledore's layout may be better than hers and has a more overall perspective, but passively following other people's plans is not a very pleasant experience after all.
"To other worlds?" Bill was taken aback by her sudden question, "Can I still come back?"
"Of course, I don't dare to abduct you to a different time and space forever." Kelly laughed, and she looked at the students on both sides of the corridor, "There is still some time before dinner, how about we go to the Room of Response?"
"Passy and I will go too." Charlie responded immediately.Kelly raised an eyebrow at him, but he returned a normal look, "What? You're going to abduct our brother, of course I'm going to listen."
"It's up to you." Kelly shrugged, and the four of them turned a corner and reached the corridor on the fifth floor. They were already familiar with the Room of Requirement. To be honest, Bill and Kelly were indeed in the room where the sundries were piled up. After rummaging through things a few times, secretly sell some antique appliances or magic items found inside—Kelly thinks this is not considered stealing, after all, the owners of these things may have been dead for centuries, this utility room What's inside is completely unowned.
But today, they only summoned an ordinary classroom, and Kelly explained everything to Bill in detail in this room that looked like a magic classroom.Of course, she couldn't say anything about the time-travel experiment, she just said that she would need to go to another universe ten years later.
"So, this will not affect you as a spellbreaker at all, you can even go to work directly, after all, you will only disappear for a second in this world." Kelly explained, "The biggest trouble is mainly for other people. Say, you haven't disappeared at all, but for you, you are real, maybe you won't be able to see your family for ten years. Also, you have grown up for many years, and you suddenly returned to yourself many years ago In my body, there must be a kind of... how to put it, a psychological gap."
"I see." Bill nodded thoughtfully. He did seem to be considering this option carefully. "I guess I might need a little time to think about it, and, you know, talk to my parents or something."
"Of course, you have three years to think about it slowly." Kelly laughed.In her heart, she really hoped that Bill would agree. He was basically the best candidate.If he refused, of course, she could still find Sirius, Lupine, or one of McGonagall's nephews, Mickey... But she really didn't know them that well.
Fortunately, Bill didn't really think about three years.On the day Kelly was admitted to the Auror Division, Bill came to see her.
"I'll go to other worlds with you." He shrugged and said with that cool expression.
The author has something to say:【A few years before she taught at Hogwarts, Minerva McGonagall maintained a friendship with her former boss at the Ministry of Magic, Elphinstone Urquart.He was visiting her in Scotland for the holidays, and to her great surprise and embarrassment he proposed to her at the Padiff Cafe.But Minerva still loves Dougal McGregor, and she rejects him.
But Elphinstone never stopped loving her, and he proposed to her several times afterwards, but was still rejected.Later, Dougal died unexpectedly due to trauma, which provided Minerva with some emotional liberation.After Voldemort's first fall from power, the gray-haired Elphinstone once again proposed to Minerva during a midsummer walk by the lake at Hogwarts.This time Minerva accepted.Elphinstone, who retired happily, bought them both a cottage in Hogsmeade so that Minerva could conveniently commute to school and work every day.
Already dubbed "Professor McGonagall" by generation after generation of students, Minerva, with a touch of feminism, announced she was keeping her last name after she married.Traditionalists scoffed: why was Minerva willing to give up a pure-blood surname but keep her Muggle father's?
It was a (tragically short, but destined) very happy marriage.Although the two had no children, Minerva's nephew and niece (that is, the children of her two brothers) often came to play in the cottage, which greatly enriched Minerva's life.
Elphinstone's unexpected death from a venomous tentacle bite, just three years after their marriage, was a source of great grief for all who knew the couple.Minerva couldn't stand being alone in their cottage, so she packed up after Elphinstone's funeral and retired to her modest stone-floored room in Hogwarts Castle.Her bedroom is entered through a secret door in the wall of the study on the second floor. She is always very brave and very private, and she devotes all her energy to her work.Few - except perhaps Dumbledore - realized how much she was suffering. 】
