Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 154 Hogwarts Traditional Arts
"McGuffin!"

Harry shook his body vigorously trying to wake him up, but he could hear him muttering something to himself...

"Shh! McGuffin seems to be talking about something..." Harry signaled Ron and Hermione not to talk, and leaned closer to hear what he had to say.

"My final exam... [Blood Curse]..."

——There are still some vague words like talent.

——This guy is finally crazy, his brain is flying.

"He's crazy, McGuffin is out of his mind... we better call Madam Pomfrey!" Ron shouted loudly.

At this time, McGuffin suddenly shrank his pupils, woke up, grabbed Harry's arms tightly and asked, "The Quidditch match...Gryffindor hasn't been eliminated, right? What stage has it reached?"

After hearing Harry's affirmative answer

— soon after the final with Hufflepuff.

McGuffin exhaled slowly and relaxed.

When he thought that he actually missed the final exam, - imagine how many talent points each course could bring him after the [First Semester] task was settled.

He felt the heartache of missing a billion dollars.

And [Blood Curse] also requires a lot of talent points to suppress and release it.

Not to mention...he increased his strength to guard against possible revenge after Voldemort's return according to the plot development in the future.

Even if I interfere with the original plot, there are all kinds of messy monsters in this wizarding world, such as dementors, dragons, basilisks, werewolves,...

If you add that not long ago, McGuffin himself just offended... Umbridge, Old Malfoy, and Rita Skeeter.

Although the existing order in the wizarding world has not collapsed...it is unlikely that he will be punished?Maybe they are more concerned about Dumbledore, an adult professor, but it is obvious... If this is a game, McGuffin's reputation in the eyes of the three of them is either indifferent or hostile. Once there is a chance... For example, if according to the original plot, it is very likely that Muggle wizards like fifth graders may for some unreasonable reasons... break their wands and be imprisoned in Amagic Class!

Sure enough... still want to kill Voldemort!
The first step requires a lot of talent points first,... [Final Exam Quiz] I missed the settlement, but [Quidditch Match] McGuffin himself will not let it go anyway.

As for the Academy Cup... anyway, having Dumbledore on the wall gave Harry or Gryffindor a lot of points... McGuffin was not worried.

Seeing that McGuffin was finally back to normal, the three finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"McGuffin, what happened in the room below?...Harry said it was related to your privacy. When you wake up, let yourself tell us...and there are all kinds of gossip in the school..." Ron asked gossipingly.

——This is the traditional art of Hogwarts!
McGuffin was not surprised at all.

The three of Harry Ron told McGuffin all the rumors circulating in the school bit by bit.

It's all unfounded..., such as 'Golden Palace', 'Golden Statue', 'Secret Treasure in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets', 'Mysterious Collection of the Four Giants'... Especially after knowing the rumors of the Philosopher's Stone, the entire Hogwarts is full of excitement and rumors are flying all over the place under the blessing of the two exams and holidays.

In addition, in order to divert the black history of "discoloration" in Malfoy, he deliberately contributed to the flames... It can be said that all kinds of strange and ridiculous stories are constantly mutating and spreading.

Although she has Professor McGonagall's 'official proof', she tries to clarify a fact in the sea of ​​'people' at Hogwarts

—— Quilinus Quirrell is a dark wizard who came to Hogwarts to seize the Sorcerer's Stone, but was stopped by the discovery of Harry and Ron, a few little wizards.

Having said that, Ron proudly puffed out his chest and said to McGuffin.

- letters from their family, especially his mum - Mrs Weasley spoke highly of his performance.

"Stop talking so much, I have a question to ask you..." Ron hurriedly asked McGuffin after explaining the rumors circulating in Hogwarts in a hurry.

"The whole school is talking about it... what's going on down there?"

"It is said that you used the Philosopher's Stone to turn Professor Quirrell into a golden statue...even the entire room inside was made of gold, and even the broken brick fragments became yikuaik'dog's head gold'...!"

Ron said in an extremely yearning and salivating tone, as if he saw everything there.

After finishing speaking, he stared at Harry with an unhappy expression, and said slowly in a tone of hatred for iron.

"But Harry didn't tell the two of us about this at all...I even heard about it from George and Fred...Can you believe it, McGuffin! After everyone in Hogwarts knew about it, Hermione and I, Harry's friends...were the last to know about it?"

He was very dissatisfied.

Hogwarts has a kind of traditional art, and rumors are circulating that every student in the four houses is a master of it, and there is no distinction between superiors and inferiors.

As soon as something happened, there would be many version mutations in a short period of time... In the end, I almost didn't even know the person who spread the rumor, but believed it to be true.

"Ah! That's what it is!"

Everyone will finally sigh with the most exciting and eye-catching rumors of the latest version.

Ron told McGuffin...the latest version of the rumor is that he and Harry sold [Professor Quirrell's golden statue] to some goblin merchants in the black market...

"So, is it true? You and Harry really sold Professor Quirrell, who was turned into a gold sculpture, to the goblin merchant in the Pig's Head Bar...and because of this, you were secretly offered a reward by Gringotts...for something that destroyed the financial system in the British wizarding world?"

"Harry always refuses to answer my questions on the grounds that Dumbledore won't let him tell others...McGuffin, did you really turn the last level room into a golden palace?"

Hermione kept rolling her eyes behind Ron's back, shaking her head helplessly, and Harry smiled wryly at McGuffin.

"Where did you hear that..."

McGuffin's expression gradually became dull, because he thought that although there is no 'Golden House', there is a statue of [Headless Quilinus] in the basement.

Ang hippie!
McGuffin felt that he missed another [-] million. He immediately turned on the system and looked at the [Tianshichengjin] skill or spell that could not be activated, feeling very regretful in his heart.

——If I knew it earlier, I would buckle off one of Quirrell's toes, or some other odds and ends!

Seeing McGuffin's dull expression, Ron became excited, "Ha! I knew it, I knew it, it's true...the basement is full of gold...Harry, do you think we can sneak in and pinch some gold from the bumps in the corner...I guess no one will notice all of this!"

Hermione finally couldn't stand Ron's stupidity anymore.

"What are you talking about! Do you believe this kind of thing... What is the golden statue of Professor Quirrell... Don't you forget that when we went out, we met Professor Dumbledore immediately. He rushed to the scene so quickly, he must have saved Harry and McGuffin... Is it possible to defeat a Hogwarts professor or an adult wizard with only two young wizards? Do you think about it? Is that possible?"

"What kind of nonsense such as [Golden Statue]... George and Fred must have made it up after hearing that there is a Philosopher's Stone below, and knowing that they can use this [Turning Stone into Gold], and why do they know that the Philosopher's Stone is placed under the underground level... Ron, you didn't tell them, did you?"

Hermione looked at Ron suspiciously.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Ron's eyes immediately moved away from Hermione's aggressive gaze, and stammered, he began to change the subject.

"Harry, McGuffin, do you think Dumbledore led you all to do this on purpose? It feels as if everything is in his expectation... such as the invisibility cloak...he gave Harry back Harry's father's invisibility cloak..."

The subject really piqued Hermione's interest, and she couldn't help saying, "If he's like that - I mean - that's horrible - Harry McGuffin you two could very well be killed."

"But McGuffin, you were hidden there by Quirrell. We couldn't find you everywhere in Hogwarts that day... Is it really in the Forbidden Forest?...Look at the note you left, did you discover Quirrell's secret? How did you know that Quirrell was behind all this?" Hermione asked.

McGuffin looked at Harry, he shook his head slightly, and signaled with his eyes to McGuffin that he didn't tell the two of them anything about [the blood curse].

After all, this is McGuffin's own private secret, and if someone wants to tell it, it should be him who told Hermione and Ron the whole thing.

McGuffin thought about it, and felt that he should tell Ron and Hermione these things by himself, after all, such things cannot be hidden.

And according to McGuffin's own speculation, Harry... had to pay some unspeakable price to obtain the unicorn's blood.

This made McGuffin so impressed by the friendship that he began to tell the real story, but from his own perspective... eh?All right!Also add some clips.

the story is...

From Quirrell secretly threatening McGuffin himself with the [Blood Curse], to him constantly reminding Harry that Quirrell is the real murderer behind the scenes, and then when he found out that Quirrell wanted to do something and the evidence that morning, Quirrell discovered that he turned himself into a snake...

McGuffin also briefly introduced what [Blood Curse] is.

(When McGuffin introduced that the blood curse can completely curse a person into an animal, without reason, but in a certain aspect in the depths of the soul, you can still keep awake, the three little wizards gasped and shuddered.)
"After that...it was me who threatened to destroy the Sorcerer's Stone, and got the method from the former Quirrell/Voldemort that would break the [Blood Curse]...and then Harry knew about it!?"

The 'true story' is far more bizarre and thrilling than unfounded rumours, especially as the ups and downs, high-octane Muggle-like tales are handled with care by the McGuffins.

The story in McGuffin's mouth completely attracted Ron's attention, and even Harry gasped and marveled.

No wonder... After all, even Hermione and Harry are just 11-year-old wizards who haven't seen many Muggle movies, and the progress of the wizarding world has broken their access to such narratives.

If a few of them have Muggle memories decades later, they will be able to find [The Shawshank Redemption] [First Blood] [Die Hard] [Latent]...the traces of outstanding movies and TV shows from various countries.

In particular, McGuffin has blessed himself with the character and setting of the tall, powerful and fierce protagonists in these movies and TV shows.

Of course... there are all kinds of Hollywood popcorn coincidences, crises and climaxes that are indispensable in the story.

——If this was on the Internet in the previous life, such a demented character design and a fabricated plot... would make most people spit out (si).

Not enough now, McGuffin just bullied these little wizards who haven't read this type of fresh story, and such an illogical story can still make them listen with gusto.

Hermione was also immersed in it, and sometimes even lost her body and screamed.

When everything is told.

(McGuffin only mentioned that he and Harry worked together to knock Quirrell unconscious, and did not disclose everything that happened after that...just simply said that Dumbledore finally appeared as a man from the sky, saved Harry and McGuffin himself...and drove Voldemort out.)
"So Dumbledore rushed in and rescued me and Harry, and I was turned into a snake by... Voldemort...before he escaped... for a few weeks, and fortunately..."

Speaking of which, Harry's expression became visibly tense, and he stared straight at McGuffin.

——He was very disturbed, shaking his head desperately in a place where Ron and Hermione could not see to signal McGuffin not to mention his name.

"After being rescued by Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Madam Pomfrey, and Professor Snape...I just got back to my original state not long ago, and this is what happened..." Seeing that McGuffin did not say Harry's name, he was greatly relieved.

"According to what you said, you already knew that Quirrell knew about this!" "Harry asked himself and answered.

——Why does McGuffin always try to divert the suspicion from Snape from Quirrell in front of several people?Why did the snake in the Forbidden Forest say that? ...the meaning of the note left by McGuffin at that time

Hearing McGuffin's explanation, Harry's vague doubts since that night were finally relieved.

"But why on earth did Voldemort hate you so much? McGuffin! He turned you into a snake in the end...and ignored me." Harry asked, puzzled.

amount……

He understood what Harry meant—in reason, he was the protagonist of this book, the other half of Voldemort who fell in love and killed each other, how could he put such a large piece of fat in a coma, and instead attack another ordinary little wizard who seemed to have a brain hole and no reputation?
However, Harry did not accuse him of telling them about Quirrell in advance, which also relieved McGuffin's worries.

On the other hand, Ron obviously hasn't gotten out of the story yet, "McGuffin, you are so cool! Dude!...What kind of spell did you cast on Harry to make him so 'mighty' beat Quirrell and Voldemort so inhumanly... This is really cool! So cool!"

"Cool? McGuffin is still under [Blood Curse]..." Hermione looked a bit like Madam Pomfrey, which made Ron shut up immediately.

"When you turned into a snake...why didn't you tell us...McGuffin Albert, don't you think of us as friends? Don't you think we'd be afraid, afraid of being hurt by you?" Hermione snapped at Ron sharply, and then asked seriously.

Hermione's questioning made McGuffin speechless and ashamed.

And deeply moved.

At this moment, he truly felt that he had become friends with these little wizards whose psychological age was too different.

"But didn't Professor Quirrell really turn into a [golden] statue? I heard that some students heard it from a certain professor...it sounds pretty good! McGuffin, Harry, you two are my friends, you can't lie to me!" Ron still delved into this issue, delusional to see the legendary golden palace from the underground checkpoint...or secretly pinch the 'dog's head gold'!
"Ron...?!"
