Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 566 December
"McGuffin!"

"Albert!"

It was Harry who woke McGuffin up.

After Dumbledore returned to the faculty lounge, McGuffin remained in place, thinking about the recovery of magic power, the dimensions of different dimensions... These things never happened in the original HP world.

——How could it be like this! !

"Are you all right?" Harry had just said something before Rita Skeeterar returned him to the staff room.

"Come back, Potter! ... We still have a photo together? Right? ... Bagman!"

Bagman, he whispered stiffly, "Photography, yes... yes, that's right... the Warriors and the referees need a group photo, which is the most memorable."

Looking at this guy's performance, he obviously remembered that he still owed McGuffin some information from the Ministry of Magic, and during the Quidditch match, the way McGuffin treated those goblins and trolls also made Ludo Bagman very jealous of McGuffin.

"Harry, come here... As for you, McGuffin Albert is waiting here. After all, this is a top ten competition, and only warriors are eligible to take a photo here..."

As she said that, her 'paws' covered in bright red nail polish pulled Harry back again, forcefully pressing him beside Wilktor Krum... She wanted the photographers to take a few photos of the two of them first.

But both photographers seemed to want to take photos of Fleur first, and Camila Paula of Brazil...the two female warrior representatives.

In the end, the two guys had to pick up the camera and take a photo of Harry and Krum under the strong order of Rita Skeeter.

Karkaroff originally coughed and wanted to say something, but stopped again.

When all of them took a group photo, the staff lounge became even more chaotic:

Donald Eastfork wanted to stand in the most prominent position in front of everyone, even blocking Dumbledore and the other headmasters...

Harry tried to separate from Krum and hide behind, but Rita Skeeter always pulled Harry to a more prominent position;
And Mrs. Maxim's width will always block other people tightly. In the end, Barty Crouch had to cut the long table and transform it into a big stool, let Mrs. Maxime sit down, and let others surround her to take pictures...

Karkaroff is probably afraid that his identity as a Death Eater will be brought up again, so he is very resistant to photography;
Others, the Warriors and the referees, also have their own difficulties. It is very embarrassing for Crouch and Bagman.

After a long time, Harry finally broke free and went downstairs to eat with McGuffin.

There they met Hermione and Ron.

Then Harry and McGuffin talked about their respective encounters in the staff lounge lounge while eating.

Harry briefly introduced how they were tested by Mr. Ollivander, and then began to talk about the details of the 'Top Ten' competition.

Ron and Hermione were curious about this.

"The first game should be held before Christmas." Harry spread blueberry jam on a piece of bread and said sadly.

"What are you dealing with... maybe a dragon?" Ron asked.

"It's even scarier than that... Not only the fire dragon, but also Hagrid's snail, the Egyptian scorpion... Barty Crouch mentioned a lot of weird magical creatures. Now I'm afraid I'm going to be the most shameful warrior ever. I'm afraid I'll be eliminated as soon as I enter the field."

"Scorpion! Merlin! Why is that kind of thing allowed to be brought into Hogwarts...Harry, I don't envy you at all now."

"Honestly, it's murder." Ron let out a weird scream, like the magic yellow duck wand invented by the Weasley twins... that scream.

"What is a scorpion?" Harry's face was frighteningly pale, and he stared blankly at Ron. Now he didn't want to hear any worse news.

"Crazy masterpiece of ancient Egyptian wizards... the most powerful guardian of the undead Pyramid Pharaoh... Let's put it this way! The guys from the Ministry of Magic put this thing together with the fire dragon and the snail as the guard of this level... It's not because this guy is 'exceptionally cute'"

Ron made a bad joke, but it was obvious that Harry couldn't laugh at all.

"McGuffin, you also know... don't you? During the trip to Egypt last year, didn't we hear the local wizards tell the scary legends about those scorpions?"

"I can tell you one thing clearly, even Hagrid wouldn't like that thing."

"Harry, you have to be ready, you must be ready." Ron looked very serious.

Harry was clearly bewildered, and his spirit was about to float out.Almost like a ghost.

Hermione gave Ron a blank look, and hurriedly comforted Harry, "Ron, scorpions are not as scary as you said. Although they are indeed very powerful, they are very loyal and promise-keeping magical creatures, and they have high intelligence."

"I think the school should ask them to ensure the safety of the warriors. We should be more worried about the snails..." Hermione carefully looked around, and after seeing that Hagrid was not there, she said reassuringly, "I said that we should kill that thing when it is young...Look at what you are going to face now, Harry..."

The topic got more and more outrageous, and even Hermione was led into the ditch.

Harry couldn't continue anymore, he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "By the way, McGuffin. Dumbledore called you to the next room to do something first. I see your expression...it's not much better than mine..."

"This matter cannot be discussed here..."

McGuffin looked around and said, that guy Donald has been staring at this place fiercely, Cedric Diggory, Nasser, Nasser, Narnia and other warriors are also frequently looking at them... Apparently many people have the same curiosity as Harry.

After dinner, they returned to the common room of Gryffindor Castle.

They found a secluded place where no one would disturb them, and McGuffin told what Dumbledore did... the twin wands, and the other dimension.

After hearing the story of MacGuffin,
Harry, Ron, and Hermione all widened their eyes, staring at McGuffin in disbelief.

There was silence for a long time, until Crookshanks jumped onto Hermione's armchair with that big yellow face and let out a meow, which woke them up.

"I can't believe it... Dumbledore, what does he mean? Are we going to discover another world?" Hermione shook her head repeatedly.

Ron was very curious about the new world that McGuffin was talking about, and he asked McGuffin for details.

Harry suddenly realized, "When I was in the Chamber of Secrets, how did you appear suddenly, McGuffin, in that Thestral carriage..."

"Harry, can you forget about that incident..." Ron was a little dissatisfied, "Now I think about the horror experience in the second grade... Or is it a nightmare?"

Seeing that the few people couldn't get the key points at all, McGuffin was not in the mood to explain the horror of magic power recovery to them in detail. He simply agreed with Harry to discuss the time for the special training, and then went upstairs and returned to the dormitory, ready to take a rest.

The matter of traveling through different dimensions before has consumed all his energy... Now he needs to take a good rest, both emotionally and physically.

——I hope I can have a good dream.

McGuffin lay down hard on the bed, thinking deeply.

……

In the next two or three weeks, McGuffin tried his best to forget about Voldemort, the recovery of magic power, these messy things, and focused all his attention on the skill of [Magic Power Control], in order to improve his control over the magic spell to a higher level.

This talent can make McGuffin cast a spell, as if breaking through a certain limit,
With the Dark Lord's experience fragments rewarded by the [Death Enemy Series] quest, he could even start to imitate Voldemort's spellcasting skills. Although it wasn't exactly like that, it was at least [-]% to [-]% successful, unlike before when he couldn't even find a clue.

As time went on, unlike the anxiety caused by McGuffin's gradual forgetting about the conversation with Dumbledore... Harry began to panic more and more.

As the first 'Big Ten Tournament' event draws closer...

Warriors have prepared for this differently.

McGuffin and Harry saw Cedric Diggory practicing High Transfiguration near the Quidditch pitch more than once.

(Many senior witches are happy to accompany him in training.)
On the deck of the black ship, Wilktor Krum was constantly dueling with his classmates of German Shepherd Strong.

He was repeatedly shot down into the black lake by several students at the same time, and then climbed up to continue practicing... This kind of hard practice with all the heart seems to be almost masochistic.

Furong, Mohammad Nasser, Narnia Makhu, Chen Xiaolong, Saiboto... They are all practicing in every corner of the school what they are good at and what they are not good at... In short, they are all extremely advanced magic.

Even Donald Eastfork, a very, very unreliable guy, put on a posture and asked his crazy fans... to pretend to be fire dragons to attack him, causing fire dragons to roar everywhere in the school, which annoyed other students.

(It looks like the guy has a particular fear of dragons, which puzzles Harry.)
However, Harry is not in the mood to worry about others now. He is the only warrior who has not conducted targeted training. Harry is very puzzled about the upcoming top ten competition, and he doesn't know what he can do to prepare.

He has never been so nervous and anxious... The game is far from the start, and he looks very worried.

What's more, he still has fourth grade courses to study hard... Not to mention the increasingly heavy homework, even in class, Harry sometimes has to rely on the help of MacGuffin and Hermione to keep up with the progress.

However, to be honest, most of the students couldn't keep up with the progress of the professors' teaching. All the professors seemed to be tightening the clockwork, and kept stuffing a lot of knowledge into their heads... It seemed that the fifth grade [Ordinary Wizard Level] was coming soon.

Snape was the best of them all, and his Defense Against the Dark Arts class almost drove Harry crazy.

Not to mention the knowledge points of the large amount of black magic and dark creatures in the early stage. When it entered December, this guy began to practice some terrible curses and black magic in class.

The usual practice objects are Harry and Ron.

The first time, McGuffin was selected by Snape together with Harry, but after he fought the old bat directly on the podium and made a mess of the Defense Against Dark Arts classroom, the old bat didn't pick McGuffin for a 'classroom demonstration', and instead focused all his interests on Harry.

Of course, after that class, Snape punished both McGuffin and Harry with a long, long night's confinement, and directly handed over all the tidying up of the library to them.

This further squeezed Harry's little rest time, which also prevented McGuffin from helping Harry with special training for the 'Top Ten Tournament'.

And Harry originally counted on Professor Dumbledore's small weekly lessons to give him some pointers and teach him something useful.

But the result surprised him, and it can be said that Harry was disappointed to some extent.

"Dumbledore seems to think it's important for me to know about Voldemort as a boy... more than that I'm likely to be torn to pieces by a lot of monsters at the 'Top Ten Tournament'..."

On the way to the greenhouse for a certain herbal medicine class, Harry told the MacGuffins everything about him in Dumbledore's little class.

There was a strange thick fog on the road, which could obscure the sound and sight, which made several people talk about it with confidence.

(From the end of November, a strange thick fog began to spread from the direction of the Forbidden Forest. This thick fog appeared and disappeared, and the strong wind could not blow it away. It did not appear in the morning and evening, but it was at noon. In the afternoon, the mountains covered the castle, the grassland, the black lake...)
(The fog is very thick, and I can't see my fingers all the time.)
Harry had given up all hope of his participation in the 'Top Ten Tournament', and seemed to have decided that he was the most disgraced warrior at the event.

"I hope that when the time comes... there will be less loss of people, but this may be a luxury... Rita Skeeter, the special reporter of the Ministry of Magic, can't wait to write my name and Krum's name in the entire report..." He said extremely frustrated.

Ron sneered and laughed, "It's probably Cornelius Fudge... who asked for that."

"Everyone knows that Rita Skeeter has put her chips on Fudge... and now the situation of our Minister of Magic... is worrying!" Ron shook his head and continued.

"Is it about the City of London? Those Muggle serial killings? Isn't there news that... that's just the crime of a Muggle killer?" Harry asked curiously.

"No, it's not like that... As far as I know, the Metropolitan Police are completely helpless, they have caught the wrong suspect several times, and now no one trusts them anymore..."

"Ron, is there any news from Mr Weasley?"

Hermione asked Ron.
