Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 104 The end of the holiday
Hogwarts holiday, an ordinary and boring morning,
Gryffindor common room.

McGuffin’s desk was full of books on spells borrowed from the library, some books related to curses such as "Curse and Anti-Curse", "East Asian Curses: Legendary 'Evil Gates'", "Common Black Curse Symptoms and Treatment Methods", and some books about ancient magic "Classification of Wizards in Ancient Rome", "Department of Mysteries Prohibition of Ancient Magic Matters", "Those Legendary Ancient Lost Magic" and other books.

But what the MacGuffin was doing had nothing to do with either of these books.

In fact, he is sorting out all the system task trigger schemes he understands and conjectures in Chinese.

Because the little ones couldn't understand Chinese, he let himself go and wrote everything on a piece of parchment.

For example, explore Hogwarts to see if some secret passages and secret realms can trigger tasks; or frequently talk to various task people, such as professors and Harry, to see what their needs can trigger new tasks; follow the plot to see if they can trigger tasks related to the original book; or the most common upgrade to kill monsters and fight bosses...etc.

The reason for doing this was because the talent points in the McGuffin system were simply not enough. He wanted to lift the blood curse, and he also wanted to improve his strength as much as possible just in case.

The key is what the blood curse is, and it is best to find a way to get rid of Quirrell after lifting the curse on him!

Then Ron's voice sounded.

"Whoa! McGuffin, what text did you write on it! It seems to be..."

He turned around from behind and saw that McGuffin was writing the exotic script he had seen at Christmas,

"...Is this Chinese?" He expressed his surprise.

"I'm trying to write in Chinese. It is said that this kind of writing is the only one that has magic power in the world and is still circulating among Muggles...Compared to other magic runes...Rune runes, runes, Egyptian cuneiform, Babylonian magic writing and other lost writings are much easier to learn. If you can, you can learn the writing commonly used by Muggles (Chinese) first, and then slowly go back to the ancient Chinese writing... This is my thesis this time - the evolution of ancient magic writing and the influence of communication between wizards in various countries how to use magic writing. of"

McGuffin was writing furiously, his heart bursting with inspiration, and he babbled nonsense at Ron without raising his head.

"Uh...uh... Well, it's okay, I actually want to tell you something about Harry..." Ron felt dizzy when he heard what someone said, and his mosquito-repellent eyes kept wandering. He shook his head and said hastily.

In the end, McGuffin scribbled all the key points he thought of on the back of the parchment, and then turned around helplessly to listen to Ron's description.

In his description, the two of them struggled to find the magic mirror last night, and then Ron saw his future from the mirror.

"Let me tell you, that magic mirror must be able to see the future. Look, McGuffin...you took your graduation photo with your family in front of Hogwarts, and I held the Quidditch House Cup and became the president of the student union...This must be the future...my future..."

Ron smirked, and the topic turned to that Java country.

McGuffin reluctantly dragged the topic back.

"What are you going to tell me about Harry?"

"...Harry is so obsessed with that mirror that he doesn't want to play chess or go see Hagrid... just look at him..." Ron pointed at Harry.

McGuffin glanced at Harry, who was sitting in an armchair facing the fire, his eyes glazed over, and a silly smile appeared on his face.

"What if he was seen by Filch and Snape at night?...And that mirror has completely occupied Harry's brain. My father once said that he should never believe anything that can confuse people...Although the scene about my future shown on it is very likely to be true..."

"Ahem, ahem... What exactly are you trying to say?" McGuffin interrupted Ron's 'daydreaming' again, and changed the subject.

"I think we should stop it and tell a certain professor, such as Professor McGonagall, that there is such a mirror in the school?"

"You mean, before Harry is caught by Professor Snape, report him to Professor McGonagall, so that he won't be counted as being caught..."

"Forehead……"

Ron (⊙o⊙)…

McGuffin shook his head helplessly, and continued, "Don't worry about it... Ron, have you heard of such a mirror? No, no, in other words, do you think this mirror is precious?"

"Yes, very cool, very rare, I've never heard of such a mirror... It must be very expensive!"

"Then you see it is placed in such an abandoned classroom, wouldn't someone or something be arranged to guard it?"

"You mean..."

"Someone must have set up protective measures there, and even watched the mirror there, and don't you think the magic mirror is not suitable for the place where you stay?... I'm afraid it's only temporarily placed there, and someone will store it elsewhere soon... No matter which of these two possibilities is true, Harry will never touch the magic mirror again. Ron, we don't need to worry too much..."

"Okay..." Ron also knew that the two of them couldn't stop McGuffin from looking at the magic mirror now, so he could only believe what McGuffin said.

Sure enough, as McGuffin said, after another day, Harry told them that the two met Dumbledore there.

"I won't go there again, the magic mirror has been removed by Dumbledore..." Harry was folding the invisibility cloak and it will not be used for the time being. "McGuffin, Ron, you two are right, it's too dangerous to wander Hogwarts at night...I must forget about that mirror..."

"Harry, can I borrow your invisibility cloak again, go to the restricted section of the library, and search for information... You also know about the paper that Professor Quirrell assigned to me..." McGuffin finally said when Harry put the invisibility cloak on the floor of the box.

(⊙o⊙)
"You, MacGuffin, that's not the same as what you told me..." Harry's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that this guy told himself that wandering at night was very dangerous not long ago.

"It's not wandering around at night, just wearing an invisibility cloak when there are few people, and 'borrowing' the books in the restricted area, and I want you to cover me, otherwise I may run into someone..."

McGuffin thought that he was crazy to go to the library when he met Quirrell and Snape at night.

Then, in Harry's eyes, McGuffin folded his hands and made a strange gesture to beg himself, saying that the thesis given to him by Professor Quirrell must be handed in before the end of the vacation, and now he has no ideas and materials to write at all.

Harry glanced at the dense pile of books piled up beside McGuffin's bed. He really couldn't say no, and felt that McGuffin's way of doing the opposite would probably work. There are so few people in the school now that he probably won't bump into anyone.So he agreed.

So during the remaining days of the Christmas holiday, Harry and Ron spent most of their time in the library covering for McGuffin, 'borrowing' books from the restricted section.

Fortunately, Mrs. Pince usually only pays attention to those little wizards who don't obey the rules in the library, or who want to break into the restricted area, and don't pay much attention to the order of books in the restricted area, or check the books in it, otherwise they will definitely be able to find something wrong.

"Wow, this... I finally know why these books are not allowed to be read by little wizards..." Ron was on his own bed in the dormitory, 'helping' McGuffin to check one of the books.

The title of the book itself has long been blurred, and the whole book seems to have been soaked in a pool of blood, exuding a rotten, disgusting and disgusting smell.

Every page of this book is made of animal skin that has been kneaded tens of thousands of times. It feels sticky to the touch and looks bloody. The handwriting is as pale as white bones that have been processed, and it is still floating, as if floating on each page.

MacGuffin reluctantly closed the book in his hand, and came over to snatch the book from Ron's hand. He already had a general understanding of it, and now he is going to return it after 'borrowing the book' today.

This kind of banned book is indeed not suitable for young wizards to read, it will affect the three views.

He tried his best not to let Ron and Harry read the contents of these books, otherwise, if the contents of these books affected Harry and the two of them in the future, there would be a Ron who backstabbed Harry's savior and Voldemort would win, or the dragon slayer would eventually become a dragon. After Harry killed Voldemort, he would instead become a new Dark Lord.

——This is a big joke.

"Ron, it's best that you don't read too much. Didn't Harry have nightmares over and over again because of reading these books these two days?" McGuffin glanced at the page Ron was reading. On it was a scantily clad woman who drank a bottle of potion and turned into a man.

The picture comes alive!

ah! — Fuck!

— Ron I was wrong!I shouldn't have let you read these books at all, you wouldn't really be able to make up a CP with Harry, would you? ?

McGuffin has been tempered by the rotten CP jokes of the same people on the Internet in his previous life, and many unstoppable thoughts popped up in his brain instantly out of time.

"Huh? Didn't Dumbledore say that it was the magic mirror that could drive Harry crazy? How did it become a book?" Ron looked at Harry with suspicion.

Harry looked tired and dozed off. He had been having nightmares for several nights.

The whole holiday ended in such a house taste.

Because most of the students had almost returned the day before the end of the holiday, McGuffin could no longer walk around the corridors in broad daylight wearing an invisibility cloak, which would be too easy to expose.

So borrowing books from the Restricted Section has temporarily stopped.

Moreover, McGuffin also announced at this time that his thesis was completed, and there was no need to go to the library to borrow books.

In fact, there was still no trace of his blood curse in the library. He had already given up on this plan at this time, and was going to hurry up and get [-] talent points to force the curse.

After Hermione came back, she felt very contradictory when she learned about the plans of several people to 'recklessly' borrow books from the restricted section of the library. She was worried about the situation of several people boldly borrowing books from the library and going out at night, but also because she was not there at that time, and she did not read those banned books, which made Hermione feel very regretful.

And ask what is written on the book above it?Ron and Harry didn't know what to ask, but McGuffin was always refusing, and it seemed that he didn't want her to know what was inside, which made her curious.

With the start of school, the Quidditch competition started again. After such a big accident last time, the Hogwarts professors prepared a safety plan again. This time they simply divided the venues according to each college. There are prefects on the different college venues. The professors patrolled back and forth to prevent any major accidents from happening again.

According to Percy, these senior students will have pen pals from other magic schools such as Demu Strong, and according to these 'pen pals' - their school has begun to circulate jokes about the last big dung egg incident at Hogwarts.

——This makes Hogwarts professors very embarrassed in front of their peers.

The arrangement of all Quidditch matches is inherently tight, and with the addition of new safety rules, the pressure on Wood is even greater. His requirements for players can be said to be almost insanely strict.

Even the continuous rainy weather after the heavy snow could hardly dampen his desire to win.

This left Harry with no free time other than eating, sleeping, and going to class, and he couldn't even spare time for Hagrid's several invitations.With the help of McGuffin and Hermione, and Professor McGonagall's help, he barely finished his homework.

Ron often watched Harry and the others train on the training ground. In comparison, MacGuffin and Hermione were busier than those senior students who were about to take the OWL exam.

The two were vying to ask questions to the professor in the classroom, and spent most of the time after class in the library... even McGuffin always asked Harry if the three of them needed help, and when he asked this question, he showed the look of a kitten eager for cat biscuits.

"Fuck, KAO, you uncle!"

McGuffin's head is about to explode, and he is constantly 'three in a row' in his heart.

Now he is holding a long piece of parchment full of Chinese characters, with dense scratches on it, almost half blackened.The above are all the ways he thought of increasing system tasks and triggering 'production' - what explored the school, what help did others seek? ?Upgrade to fight the boss (this was rejected by him at the first time, it is best not to do such a thing under the eyes of Dumbledore)...

A few quests that were still troublesome but triggered a few more—what [Transformation Club] [Snape's Little Thoughts] [Legends of Hufflepuff]...

Although they are all talent point tasks, if they can be completed, the blood curse will definitely be no longer a problem, and there will be a lot of talent points left to improve McGuffin's magic power.

Of course, the premise is that if it can be completed...
