(Chapter name cannot be changed, it has nothing to do with the content)
[Status: Blood Curse (Activated)] (Progress 1%)
【天赋：蛇佬腔LV1（蛇形态可用）炼金术之心（1/3）魔力爆发（2/3）……】
[Blood Curse Effect:
It will further improve the magic talent of the cursed, and may even greatly increase the magic level of the cursed, so as to attract them to constantly change between the two forms (human and snake) frequently to improve their magic power and talent... And this kind of talent is better for learning ancient magic.
But in the process, the blood curse will continue to erode the cursed.
After entering the 10% (curse) progress, the cursed person can master the snake form and the human form to change back and forth, but this also means that the cursed person is further eroded by the blood curse.
When entering 20%, the cursed person will master the Parseltongue in human form.
After entering 50%, the curse has begun to cross the boundary at this time, and the cursed will begin to gradually transform into a snake form.For example, some memories disappear, some human senses are gradually replaced by snake senses (even in human form, they will have snake-like vertical pupils and can have dark vision), and after that, with each transformation, the curse of the cursed erosion will accelerate until it becomes a real beast.
Note: The great wizard system will search for a new host No. 234 before the host No. 235 cannot be saved...]
McGuffin checked the new description about the blood curse in the system.
——As his research on curses and blood curses deepened, the description of blood curses in the system became more and more detailed, (it seemed that the system was constantly refreshing the information based on his understanding).
"It's useful!" McGuffin sighed, then moved his attention down, and saw two new system tasks that appeared after that night (the Quidditch match ended).
……
1 [Main task: Kill Quirrell! 】
[The third part of the Deadly Enemy series - Appeared, are you my 'big villain'? 】
[Reward: A gift from Quirinus Quirrell - Defense Against the Dark Arts course knowledge experience (a lot)]
[Note: Quirrell used to be an outstanding wizard who studied dark creatures, curses, and anti-curses, until one day he met a black shadow in the black forest...]
2 [Task: Find a way to break the blood curse]
[Required to break the blood curse: 1. Three key (██, ██, ███) elemental materials are required, 2. The spell to be cracked (███), and its casting method (███)]
[Note: - Each lack of a key element requires *10 talent points]
[Rewards (three rewards for perfect completion): 1 Parseltongue Talent 2 Magic Power Control Talent [Prerequisites: Magic Burst and Magic Return] 3 Snake Transformation Talent]
……
oh!Quest to kill Quirrell
— that's exactly what the MacGuffin needs.
However, after these two tasks were triggered, McGuffin suspected that the system’s task triggering principle was the same as that of magic, which responded to people’s will and desires. However, in addition to McGuffin’s thoughts, the system could also respond to other people’s desires.
For example, the task of [Snape's Little Thoughts], when Snape punished Harry for the nth time, McGuffin interjected and asked Snape if he had any objections to Harry, which made Snape angrily punish him, and at the same time triggered this task——
[System Task: Snape's Little Thoughts]
【—Where is Lily? 】
[Content: 1. Feed Snape's new medicine to Harry. 2. Let Snape see Harry's transformed appearance with his own eyes. Harry sees the shadow of his mother Lily again from Harry. 3. Get Snape's acknowledgment]
[Note: Since 11 years ago, Snape has had a careful thought——hope to see more shadows of his mother Lily in Harry, but unfortunately, since he came to this school, he has seen the shadow of his annoying father, James Potter, in Harry. So——Snape developed a new potion by extracting the blood of South American vampires (wood ghosts) and some extremely special herbs, some fish materials in the deep sea. It has no special effect—it can just turn Harry Potter into a girl! ! 】
(It seems that this echoes Snape's most private thoughts and desires!)
McGuffin said about this—
Shocked!!!∑(Дノ)ノ
(niang) Hippie—I didn't expect you to be such a Snape!
——Gentleman (bian) scholar (tai) ah!
It is conceivable that after McGuffin learned of Snape's inner thoughts from the system at that time, he couldn't look at Harry and Snape with a serious 'face' for several days...
(And he 'seriously' suspected that it was the same potion Snape had used to endanger the Slytherin team during that Quidditch match.)
Enough talking, let's get back to the important things now.
McGuffin looked at the [Blood Curse] system task, and his eyebrows twitched.
Even though he didn't know that he had reviewed it hundreds of times, when he saw it again, McGuffin still felt a thrill.
稍许一算——三个关键材料就是10*10*10为1000点了，更别提还要知道咒语和施咒方式，这样又是各10点，这样算下来（全都乘起来）就是10万天赋点。
I'm so...
"10, 10 talent points..."
"With these talent points, you can directly add all the labor and capital to yourself, open up learning, and improve your magical strength..."
"Within three months, I'm going to have Quirrell call 'Daddy' and Voldemort kneel down and sing Conquer..."
"As for the mere blood curse, labor and management have to whip Quirrell's little Jiji 10 times to let him automatically dispel it, and it takes 10 talent points to dispel the blood curse..."
——Not much to say, it's all tears, this stupid system.
However, McGuffin was inspired and knew that the most important thing for him now was to improve his strength, and the matter of the blood curse was not so urgent.
(The degree of erosion is only 1%. According to the description of the system, permanent irreversible deformation will not occur until 100%...)
So in the next few weeks, apart from finding ways to complete those tasks on the system to obtain talent points, McGuffin also
He put his current talent points (36 points) into learning various courses, as well as learning related to curses - [Transfiguration], [Curse], [Dark Magic and Curse], [Alchemy], and [Ancient Magic] requested by Quirrell...
(Magic courses that can directly improve strength, while astronomy and potion courses that cannot improve the strength of head-to-head combat, McGuffin ignores it)
Of course, these talent points alone are far from enough, but the [Blood Curse] did improve his magic talent to some extent, especially the more chaotic and blurred his will and thoughts when casting a spell. The older the magic, the easier it is for McGuffin to cast it.
Therefore, [Ancient Alchemy], [Curse], and [Ancient Magic] are making rapid progress under the stimulation of both talent points and talent enhancement. On the contrary, [Spell Class], especially [Transfiguration] without a lot of investment in talent points, he is stuck in a bottleneck. (Perhaps because MacGuffin is limited by the current magic power, unable to cast those spells that require a lot of magic power)
On the other hand, after McGuffin was able to guide that night, the three of Harry looked at Quirrell with a little suspicion.
Of course, when the two met, Harry and Ron still gave him a 'polite but not awkward' smile to encourage him not to be 'threatened' by Snape and to protect his secrets.
With two possible attempted suspects, Harry was very worried about the safety of the Sorcerer's Stone——they checked from time to time whether Lu Wei was still in the restricted area of the corridor on the third floor. After hearing a low growl, they were able to relax for a day.
Besides the Philosopher's Stone, Hermione had another thing that worried her even more.
——That was the final exam, for which she had already started to make a review plan, and kept nagging Ron and Harry, and very kindly helped them both to make a complicated and detailed study plan.
Ron, looking at the stack of 'Hermione's Enhanced Study Notes' slowly piled up, Harry suddenly felt that it would be better to let Snape and Quirrell steal the Philosopher's Stone--this might reduce two course exams.
It was fine at first, but after a few weeks of this, Ron finally couldn't stand it.
"Hermione, the exam is hundreds of years away from us?... Besides, why don't you ignore the MacGuffin..."
Ron looked at McGuffin, who was searching for other materials and did not review with them, and felt that this was 'discrimination'.
——This is blatantly unfair treatment.
The MacGuffin should also have rights to the Hermione Exam Project.
"Hermione, why don't you ask McGuffin to review?" Ron wanted to drag McGuffin into the water.
Hermione didn't respond, just looked at each other with McGuffin, and then they gave Ron a meaningful and mysterious smile, which made him feel bad.
Sure enough, after returning to the common room, McGuffin gave Ron a 'gift'.
"This is the test paper I compiled and practiced in order to study "History of Magic" during the summer vacation before the start of school. I will give it to you now, Ron! I hope it is useful to you..."
Ron looked at the pile of papers and wanted to cry, he finally realized that McGuffin and Hermione were in the same camp. (Looks like the MacGuffin has already passed Hermione's test, so she just ignores it.)
And unfortunately.
——What made Harry and Ron even more horrified was that the professors had exactly the same idea as Hermione, and the Easter holiday they had expected had turned into a complete nightmare.
A large number of repetitive, unfinished vacation homework completely filled the entire vacation.
So much so that on a clear and bright morning, they still gathered in the library and continued to "struggle" to review.
"I don't know, Hermione, what else are you reviewing..." Ron threw the pen away, he couldn't take it anymore, and began to complain day after day.
McGuffin stood up and closed the notebook, and left in front of them with the completed "Curses and Anti-Curses". Sure enough, Hermione kept talking about what she had missed and how much time she had wasted. She should have started reviewing earlier...topics like final exams.
It made Ron even more headache and dizzy. After seeing McGuffin leave, he immediately followed.
"McGuffin, what book do you want to borrow, I'll find it for you!"
Under Hermione's resentful eyes, Ron quickly followed McGuffin away from this 'living hell'.
But Harry had to look through "A Thousand Miraculous Herbs and Kinds" by himself to complete the homework of the herbal class, "Thesis on the Curative Effects of White Fresh". '
As for the MacGuffin, he was re-borrowing a new book on curses.
(In the past few weeks, McGuffin is not reading and consuming talent points to study magic related to curses)
When the two of them were looking for a tour among the bookshelves, they accidentally saw Hagrid trying to hide his figure (how is this possible?).
He secretly wanted to borrow some books.
McGuffin took a closer look, and it turned out to be exactly what he thought—they were all books about dragons.
Hagrid turned around and saw McGuffin and Ron, his face turned pale, and he put the book covers that were exposed by him into his arms, covering the names.
Ron naturally wanted to make trouble, and approached Hagrid on purpose, "Hagrid, what are you doing here? Are you looking for something related to the Sorcerer's Stone? Is it related to the institution that guards the Sorcerer's Stone?"
——As expected.
"Hush!" Hagrid was shocked immediately, and knocked on the surrounding students who were also reviewing to see if anyone heard, "Don't shout... how do you know these things?"
Ron showed off to Hagrid that they already knew what Hagrid was hiding.
"Ha! Hagrid, we already knew there was a level designed by Professor Quirrell..." Ron pretended to be complacent, and he specifically stimulated Hagrid to invite a few people to leave here to talk about this matter.
"Stop talking..." Hagrid immediately brought them to Harry and Hermione nervously, and then told them to meet and talk in his hut later.
——It was just as Ron wished, and now they finally had to go outside, and now Hermione couldn't nag him.
"You guys come to my cabin later, we shouldn't be here, talking about this in front of so many people..." Hagrid said again.
After Hagrid left clutching a pile of books.
"What is he trying to hide?" Hermione keenly noticed something was wrong with Hagrid.
Ron found the books that Hagrid borrowed again, and found that there were a lot of books related to dragons.
"Did Hagrid finally get a dragon egg?" Harry thought of Hagrid's unusual animal aesthetics.
After Hermione and Harry worried about Hagrid's peculiar little quirks.
Finally, as Ron wished, he went out of the library and enjoyed some good weather for a while on the way to Hagrid's cabin.
……
Hagrid Cottage.
All the curtains were drawn tightly, and Hagrid invited the four of them into the hut very carefully.
— This is very strange.
Now the weather has gradually begun to warm up, and today is still a sunny day, a sunny day.
There was still a raging flame burning in the fireplace.
It was suffocatingly hot in the hut.
"A dragon egg?"
McGuffin was eating the pomelo sandwich with great interest (which made Harry and the three of them look sideways, very shocked), and he tried his best to look at the black dragon egg in the fire.
This was not easy, because Hagrid tried his best to let his huge body block their sight tightly.
Maybe it was because MacGuffin always wanted to see what was behind him, which made Hagrid's nerves tense, and he said sternly to the little guys with a straight face.
"What the hell are you thinking? Didn't I tell you not to look into things related to Nick Flamel and the Philosopher's Stone?"
Harry didn't beat around the bush and directly told Hagrid what he knew that Snape tried to steal the Philosopher's Stone and threatened Quirrell.
"It's absolutely impossible...Dumbledore believed in Snape, and I also believed in him. Together with other professors in the school, they designed a mechanism to protect the Sorcerer's Stone... Uh!" Just halfway through, Hagrid realized it, with regret on his face, and he realized that he had slipped the tongue again.
"So there are other professors who participated in the design of the level to protect the Sorcerer's Stone?" Harry immediately followed up and asked.
Hagrid changed his words and complained, "To be honest, I shouldn't be talking to you about this right now... The Sorcerer's Stone is safely protected by all the professors' institutions at Hogwarts, and that's why it's here. ——Because it's not safe in other places, even Gringotts was almost stolen. Harry, I guess you already know about this?..."
Hagrid: "You little guys shouldn't know this at all? I really don't understand how you know these things, Lu Wei, the Philosopher's Stone...?"
"Hagrid, haven't you ever doubted those professors?" McGuffin realized that this was another good opportunity to re-instill the idea of 'Quirrell is suspicious' into several people's minds.
"For example, Snape, did you know that he was once a minion of the Dark Lord—a Death Eater? For example, Professor Quirrell, Hagrid, do you know that he went to the Black Forest to specialize in black magic?..." McGuffin asked aggressively.
He exposed these pieces of information one after another, shocking a few young wizards so much that they almost turned their heads over.
"You...how did you know this news!" Hagrid was also in a daze and almost fell to the ground.
"McGuffin, you didn't tell us... where did you see it?" Hermione screamed in surprise.
"I saw it not long ago from the collection of the old newspaper "Daily Prophet" in the library... It's not important, the important thing is that Snape, and Professor Quirrell are really worth letting us... Hagrid, do you believe it?" McGuffin hesitated to deal with it.
"Who can guarantee that a professor who has just entered the school for less than a year, a professor who has studied black magic, won't be tempted after knowing the Philosopher's Stone?" McGuffin continued to pour dirty water on Quirrell.
He hoped that under his prompting, Harry could quickly reveal Quirrell's true colors, or hide his face, or let Dumbledore or Snape fuck him, or at least capture this guy in Azikaban.
This also made him less threatened, and he could concentrate on finding a way to break the blood curse.
(McGuffin knew in his heart that this guy would not lift the blood curse for himself anyway)
"This..." Hagrid spoke for a moment. He felt that there was something wrong with McGuffin's words, as if they were specifically aimed at Quirrell, but he couldn't seem to find any faults.
Harry's thinking was still inclined to doubt Snape, so he asked eagerly, "Whether it's Snape or not? Hagrid, you won't tell others how to use Lu Wei's method, will you?"
"Of course, no one but me and Dumbledore can take half a word out of my mouth..." Hagrid said proudly, but then he also reacted and glared at the few people, "What Quirrell and Snape? Merlin! These are two professors...you are talking about it as if they are sure that they want to steal the Philosopher's Stone!"
Harry and McGuffin looked at each other.
He wondered if he should tell Hagrid that he could talk to snakes?
He said hesitantly, "Hagrid? Let me ask you something..."
"It's nothing, I'll tell you about everything...except of course about the Philosopher's Stone." Hagrid agreed, patting his chest.
"Do you know whether one of my parents has the blood of the wizard Salazar Slytherin?"
puff--
Hagrid's eyes widened immediately.
(⊙o⊙)
He squirted out a mouthful of tea directly.
(It is conceivable that McGuffin and the others were almost drenched all over their heads)
McGuffin wiped his face, and amidst Hagrid's repeated apologies, he took over a big surprise, like a towel that hadn't been washed in days.
He wiped his face and hair and passed them to Ron and Harry next to him.
"Clean up!" "Clean up!"
After Hermione and McGuffin dried off and cleaned up several people with their wands (including Hagrid's cabin), they sat down again to continue the conversation just now.
"Harry, I can assure you... neither of your parents has anything to do with that old Slytherin boy... Gorgon! What on earth are you thinking... Your mother is a Muggle, your father's blood is from the Potter family, and like the Weasleys, they have always graduated from Gryffindor..."
After Hagrid's successive denials, Harry finally let go of his worries about being a descendant of Slytherin.
He told Hagrid about the snake's existence.
"Hagrid, do you think what the snake said is true?... Quirrell and Professor Snape will pose a mortal threat to him?" Hermione asked.
puff!
— Gollon.
Hagrid was almost spouted again by Hermione's words, and finally shut up desperately and swallowed the tea he just drank into his mouth again.
"Ha!——I have to remember, I have to firmly remember that I really shouldn't drink tea in front of you little guys." Hagrid took a long time to regain his composure.
"Is Quirrell a mortal threat to Harry?—You guys think about what you said? Quirrell is afraid of his own students, afraid of the subjects he teaches...such a person will murder Harry!..."
"Harry...you can't believe a snake at all! Even if the snake could talk, but Harry...how can you talk to a snake..."
Hagrid didn't react—Harry just asked himself if he had Slytherin blood, but he was interested and repeatedly asked Harry what it was like to meet that snake?
"...Harry, did you meet a long-horned water snake? Does he have a beautiful big horn on his head? It is said that only this kind of snake can speak... How come I have never seen this kind of cutie in the Forbidden Forest...Harry, what does it look like? Is it beautiful... Where exactly did you meet it?"
Hagrid was all excited.
To Harry's relief, Hagrid didn't seem to realize that he was a Parseltongue, and instead thought he'd encountered some kind of scary-sounding, talking snake.
MacGuffin was described by Hagrid as "cute" after his transformation, and he had goosebumps on his face. He couldn't sit still when he heard it, and quickly changed the subject.
He deliberately pointed to the big black egg, which attracted the attention of Hermione and Harry.
"Hagrid - what's that?"
Finally, it was changed, and as an apology, it was changed to a chapter of 6000 words.The chapter name cannot be changed!This has something to do with not modifying the previous content, or the content of the next chapter, so I can only do this first, I am really sorry.
(End of this chapter)
(Chapter name cannot be changed, it has nothing to do with the content)
[Status: Blood Curse (Activated)] (Progress 1%)
【天赋：蛇佬腔LV1（蛇形态可用）炼金术之心（1/3）魔力爆发（2/3）……】
[Blood Curse Effect:
It will further improve the magic talent of the cursed, and may even greatly increase the magic level of the cursed, so as to attract them to constantly change between the two forms (human and snake) frequently to improve their magic power and talent... And this kind of talent is better for learning ancient magic.
But in the process, the blood curse will continue to erode the cursed.
After entering the 10% (curse) progress, the cursed person can master the snake form and the human form to change back and forth, but this also means that the cursed person is further eroded by the blood curse.
When entering 20%, the cursed person will master the Parseltongue in human form.
After entering 50%, the curse has begun to cross the boundary at this time, and the cursed will begin to gradually transform into a snake form.For example, some memories disappear, some human senses are gradually replaced by snake senses (even in human form, they will have snake-like vertical pupils and can have dark vision), and after that, with each transformation, the curse of the cursed erosion will accelerate until it becomes a real beast.
Note: The great wizard system will search for a new host No. 234 before the host No. 235 cannot be saved...]
McGuffin checked the new description about the blood curse in the system.
——As his research on curses and blood curses deepened, the description of blood curses in the system became more and more detailed, (it seemed that the system was constantly refreshing the information based on his understanding).
"It's useful!" McGuffin sighed, then moved his attention down, and saw two new system tasks that appeared after that night (the Quidditch match ended).
……
1 [Main task: Kill Quirrell! 】
[The third part of the Deadly Enemy series - Appeared, are you my 'big villain'? 】
[Reward: A gift from Quirinus Quirrell - Defense Against the Dark Arts course knowledge experience (a lot)]
[Note: Quirrell used to be an outstanding wizard who studied dark creatures, curses, and anti-curses, until one day he met a black shadow in the black forest...]
2 [Task: Find a way to break the blood curse]
[Required to break the blood curse: 1. Three key (██, ██, ███) elemental materials are required, 2. The spell to be cracked (███), and its casting method (███)]
[Note: - Each lack of a key element requires *10 talent points]
[Rewards (three rewards for perfect completion): 1 Parseltongue Talent 2 Magic Power Control Talent [Prerequisites: Magic Burst and Magic Return] 3 Snake Transformation Talent]
……
oh!Quest to kill Quirrell
— that's exactly what the MacGuffin needs.
However, after these two tasks were triggered, McGuffin suspected that the system’s task triggering principle was the same as that of magic, which responded to people’s will and desires. However, in addition to McGuffin’s thoughts, the system could also respond to other people’s desires.
For example, the task of [Snape's Little Thoughts], when Snape punished Harry for the nth time, McGuffin interjected and asked Snape if he had any objections to Harry, which made Snape angrily punish him, and at the same time triggered this task——
[System Task: Snape's Little Thoughts]
【—Where is Lily? 】
[Content: 1. Feed Snape's new medicine to Harry. 2. Let Snape see Harry's transformed appearance with his own eyes. Harry sees the shadow of his mother Lily again from Harry. 3. Get Snape's acknowledgment]
[Note: Since 11 years ago, Snape has had a careful thought——hope to see more shadows of his mother Lily in Harry, but unfortunately, since he came to this school, he has seen the shadow of his annoying father, James Potter, in Harry. So——Snape developed a new potion by extracting the blood of South American vampires (wood ghosts) and some extremely special herbs, some fish materials in the deep sea. It has no special effect—it can just turn Harry Potter into a girl! ! 】
(It seems that this echoes Snape's most private thoughts and desires!)
McGuffin said about this—
Shocked!!!∑(Дノ)ノ
(niang) Hippie—I didn't expect you to be such a Snape!
——Gentleman (bian) scholar (tai) ah!
It is conceivable that after McGuffin learned of Snape's inner thoughts from the system at that time, he couldn't look at Harry and Snape with a serious 'face' for several days...
(And he 'seriously' suspected that it was the same potion Snape had used to endanger the Slytherin team during that Quidditch match.)
Enough talking, let's get back to the important things now.
McGuffin looked at the [Blood Curse] system task, and his eyebrows twitched.
Even though he didn't know that he had reviewed it hundreds of times, when he saw it again, McGuffin still felt a thrill.
稍许一算——三个关键材料就是10*10*10为1000点了，更别提还要知道咒语和施咒方式，这样又是各10点，这样算下来（全都乘起来）就是10万天赋点。
I'm so...
"10, 10 talent points..."
"With these talent points, you can directly add all the labor and capital to yourself, open up learning, and improve your magical strength..."
"Within three months, I'm going to have Quirrell call 'Daddy' and Voldemort kneel down and sing Conquer..."
"As for the mere blood curse, labor and management have to whip Quirrell's little Jiji 10 times to let him automatically dispel it, and it takes 10 talent points to dispel the blood curse..."
——Not much to say, it's all tears, this stupid system.
However, McGuffin was inspired and knew that the most important thing for him now was to improve his strength, and the matter of the blood curse was not so urgent.
(The degree of erosion is only 1%. According to the description of the system, permanent irreversible deformation will not occur until 100%...)
So in the next few weeks, apart from finding ways to complete those tasks on the system to obtain talent points, McGuffin also
He put his current talent points (36 points) into learning various courses, as well as learning related to curses - [Transfiguration], [Curse], [Dark Magic and Curse], [Alchemy], and [Ancient Magic] requested by Quirrell...
(Magic courses that can directly improve strength, while astronomy and potion courses that cannot improve the strength of head-to-head combat, McGuffin ignores it)
Of course, these talent points alone are far from enough, but the [Blood Curse] did improve his magic talent to some extent, especially the more chaotic and blurred his will and thoughts when casting a spell. The older the magic, the easier it is for McGuffin to cast it.
Therefore, [Ancient Alchemy], [Curse], and [Ancient Magic] are making rapid progress under the stimulation of both talent points and talent enhancement. On the contrary, [Spell Class], especially [Transfiguration] without a lot of investment in talent points, he is stuck in a bottleneck. (Perhaps because MacGuffin is limited by the current magic power, unable to cast those spells that require a lot of magic power)
On the other hand, after McGuffin was able to guide that night, the three of Harry looked at Quirrell with a little suspicion.
Of course, when the two met, Harry and Ron still gave him a 'polite but not awkward' smile to encourage him not to be 'threatened' by Snape and to protect his secrets.
With two possible attempted suspects, Harry was very worried about the safety of the Sorcerer's Stone——they checked from time to time whether Lu Wei was still in the restricted area of the corridor on the third floor. After hearing a low growl, they were able to relax for a day.
Besides the Philosopher's Stone, Hermione had another thing that worried her even more.
——That was the final exam, for which she had already started to make a review plan, and kept nagging Ron and Harry, and very kindly helped them both to make a complicated and detailed study plan.
Ron, looking at the stack of 'Hermione's Enhanced Study Notes' slowly piled up, Harry suddenly felt that it would be better to let Snape and Quirrell steal the Philosopher's Stone--this might reduce two course exams.
It was fine at first, but after a few weeks of this, Ron finally couldn't stand it.
"Hermione, the exam is hundreds of years away from us?... Besides, why don't you ignore the MacGuffin..."
Ron looked at McGuffin, who was searching for other materials and did not review with them, and felt that this was 'discrimination'.
——This is blatantly unfair treatment.
The MacGuffin should also have rights to the Hermione Exam Project.
"Hermione, why don't you ask McGuffin to review?" Ron wanted to drag McGuffin into the water.
Hermione didn't respond, just looked at each other with McGuffin, and then they gave Ron a meaningful and mysterious smile, which made him feel bad.
Sure enough, after returning to the common room, McGuffin gave Ron a 'gift'.
"This is the test paper I compiled and practiced in order to study "History of Magic" during the summer vacation before the start of school. I will give it to you now, Ron! I hope it is useful to you..."
Ron looked at the pile of papers and wanted to cry, he finally realized that McGuffin and Hermione were in the same camp. (Looks like the MacGuffin has already passed Hermione's test, so she just ignores it.)
And unfortunately.
——What made Harry and Ron even more horrified was that the professors had exactly the same idea as Hermione, and the Easter holiday they had expected had turned into a complete nightmare.
A large number of repetitive, unfinished vacation homework completely filled the entire vacation.
So much so that on a clear and bright morning, they still gathered in the library and continued to "struggle" to review.
"I don't know, Hermione, what else are you reviewing..." Ron threw the pen away, he couldn't take it anymore, and began to complain day after day.
McGuffin stood up and closed the notebook, and left in front of them with the completed "Curses and Anti-Curses". Sure enough, Hermione kept talking about what she had missed and how much time she had wasted. She should have started reviewing earlier...topics like final exams.
It made Ron even more headache and dizzy. After seeing McGuffin leave, he immediately followed.
"McGuffin, what book do you want to borrow, I'll find it for you!"
Under Hermione's resentful eyes, Ron quickly followed McGuffin away from this 'living hell'.
But Harry had to look through "A Thousand Miraculous Herbs and Kinds" by himself to complete the homework of the herbal class, "Thesis on the Curative Effects of White Fresh". '
As for the MacGuffin, he was re-borrowing a new book on curses.
(In the past few weeks, McGuffin is not reading and consuming talent points to study magic related to curses)
When the two of them were looking for a tour among the bookshelves, they accidentally saw Hagrid trying to hide his figure (how is this possible?).
He secretly wanted to borrow some books.
McGuffin took a closer look, and it turned out to be exactly what he thought—they were all books about dragons.
Hagrid turned around and saw McGuffin and Ron, his face turned pale, and he put the book covers that were exposed by him into his arms, covering the names.
Ron naturally wanted to make trouble, and approached Hagrid on purpose, "Hagrid, what are you doing here? Are you looking for something related to the Sorcerer's Stone? Is it related to the institution that guards the Sorcerer's Stone?"
——As expected.
"Hush!" Hagrid was shocked immediately, and knocked on the surrounding students who were also reviewing to see if anyone heard, "Don't shout... how do you know these things?"
Ron showed off to Hagrid that they already knew what Hagrid was hiding.
"Ha! Hagrid, we already knew there was a level designed by Professor Quirrell..." Ron pretended to be complacent, and he specifically stimulated Hagrid to invite a few people to leave here to talk about this matter.
"Stop talking..." Hagrid immediately brought them to Harry and Hermione nervously, and then told them to meet and talk in his hut later.
——It was just as Ron wished, and now they finally had to go outside, and now Hermione couldn't nag him.
"You guys come to my cabin later, we shouldn't be here, talking about this in front of so many people..." Hagrid said again.
After Hagrid left clutching a pile of books.
"What is he trying to hide?" Hermione keenly noticed something was wrong with Hagrid.
Ron found the books that Hagrid borrowed again, and found that there were a lot of books related to dragons.
"Did Hagrid finally get a dragon egg?" Harry thought of Hagrid's unusual animal aesthetics.
After Hermione and Harry worried about Hagrid's peculiar little quirks.
Finally, as Ron wished, he went out of the library and enjoyed some good weather for a while on the way to Hagrid's cabin.
……
Hagrid Cottage.
All the curtains were drawn tightly, and Hagrid invited the four of them into the hut very carefully.
— This is very strange.
Now the weather has gradually begun to warm up, and today is still a sunny day, a sunny day.
There was still a raging flame burning in the fireplace.
It was suffocatingly hot in the hut.
"A dragon egg?"
McGuffin was eating the pomelo sandwich with great interest (which made Harry and the three of them look sideways, very shocked), and he tried his best to look at the black dragon egg in the fire.
This was not easy, because Hagrid tried his best to let his huge body block their sight tightly.
Maybe it was because MacGuffin always wanted to see what was behind him, which made Hagrid's nerves tense, and he said sternly to the little guys with a straight face.
"What the hell are you thinking? Didn't I tell you not to look into things related to Nick Flamel and the Philosopher's Stone?"
Harry didn't beat around the bush and directly told Hagrid what he knew that Snape tried to steal the Philosopher's Stone and threatened Quirrell.
"It's absolutely impossible...Dumbledore believed in Snape, and I also believed in him. Together with other professors in the school, they designed a mechanism to protect the Sorcerer's Stone... Uh!" Just halfway through, Hagrid realized it, with regret on his face, and he realized that he had slipped the tongue again.
"So there are other professors who participated in the design of the level to protect the Sorcerer's Stone?" Harry immediately followed up and asked.
Hagrid changed his words and complained, "To be honest, I shouldn't be talking to you about this right now... The Sorcerer's Stone is safely protected by all the professors' institutions at Hogwarts, and that's why it's here. ——Because it's not safe in other places, even Gringotts was almost stolen. Harry, I guess you already know about this?..."
Hagrid: "You little guys shouldn't know this at all? I really don't understand how you know these things, Lu Wei, the Philosopher's Stone...?"
"Hagrid, haven't you ever doubted those professors?" McGuffin realized that this was another good opportunity to re-instill the idea of 'Quirrell is suspicious' into several people's minds.
"For example, Snape, did you know that he was once a minion of the Dark Lord—a Death Eater? For example, Professor Quirrell, Hagrid, do you know that he went to the Black Forest to specialize in black magic?..." McGuffin asked aggressively.
He exposed these pieces of information one after another, shocking a few young wizards so much that they almost turned their heads over.
"You...how did you know this news!" Hagrid was also in a daze and almost fell to the ground.
"McGuffin, you didn't tell us... where did you see it?" Hermione screamed in surprise.
"I saw it not long ago from the collection of the old newspaper "Daily Prophet" in the library... It's not important, the important thing is that Snape, and Professor Quirrell are really worth letting us... Hagrid, do you believe it?" McGuffin hesitated to deal with it.
"Who can guarantee that a professor who has just entered the school for less than a year, a professor who has studied black magic, won't be tempted after knowing the Philosopher's Stone?" McGuffin continued to pour dirty water on Quirrell.
He hoped that under his prompting, Harry could quickly reveal Quirrell's true colors, or hide his face, or let Dumbledore or Snape fuck him, or at least capture this guy in Azikaban.
This also made him less threatened, and he could concentrate on finding a way to break the blood curse.
(McGuffin knew in his heart that this guy would not lift the blood curse for himself anyway)
"This..." Hagrid spoke for a moment. He felt that there was something wrong with McGuffin's words, as if they were specifically aimed at Quirrell, but he couldn't seem to find any faults.
Harry's thinking was still inclined to doubt Snape, so he asked eagerly, "Whether it's Snape or not? Hagrid, you won't tell others how to use Lu Wei's method, will you?"
"Of course, no one but me and Dumbledore can take half a word out of my mouth..." Hagrid said proudly, but then he also reacted and glared at the few people, "What Quirrell and Snape? Merlin! These are two professors...you are talking about it as if they are sure that they want to steal the Philosopher's Stone!"
Harry and McGuffin looked at each other.
He wondered if he should tell Hagrid that he could talk to snakes?
He said hesitantly, "Hagrid? Let me ask you something..."
"It's nothing, I'll tell you about everything...except of course about the Philosopher's Stone." Hagrid agreed, patting his chest.
"Do you know whether one of my parents has the blood of the wizard Salazar Slytherin?"
puff--
Hagrid's eyes widened immediately.
(⊙o⊙)
He squirted out a mouthful of tea directly.
(It is conceivable that McGuffin and the others were almost drenched all over their heads)
McGuffin wiped his face, and amidst Hagrid's repeated apologies, he took over a big surprise, like a towel that hadn't been washed in days.
He wiped his face and hair and passed them to Ron and Harry next to him.
"Clean up!" "Clean up!"
After Hermione and McGuffin dried off and cleaned up several people with their wands (including Hagrid's cabin), they sat down again to continue the conversation just now.
"Harry, I can assure you... neither of your parents has anything to do with that old Slytherin boy... Gorgon! What on earth are you thinking... Your mother is a Muggle, your father's blood is from the Potter family, and like the Weasleys, they have always graduated from Gryffindor..."
After Hagrid's successive denials, Harry finally let go of his worries about being a descendant of Slytherin.
He told Hagrid about the snake's existence.
"Hagrid, do you think what the snake said is true?... Quirrell and Professor Snape will pose a mortal threat to him?" Hermione asked.
puff!
— Gollon.
Hagrid was almost spouted again by Hermione's words, and finally shut up desperately and swallowed the tea he just drank into his mouth again.
"Ha!——I have to remember, I have to firmly remember that I really shouldn't drink tea in front of you little guys." Hagrid took a long time to regain his composure.
"Is Quirrell a mortal threat to Harry?—You guys think about what you said? Quirrell is afraid of his own students, afraid of the subjects he teaches...such a person will murder Harry!..."
"Harry...you can't believe a snake at all! Even if the snake could talk, but Harry...how can you talk to a snake..."
Hagrid didn't react—Harry just asked himself if he had Slytherin blood, but he was interested and repeatedly asked Harry what it was like to meet that snake?
"...Harry, did you meet a long-horned water snake? Does he have a beautiful big horn on his head? It is said that only this kind of snake can speak... How come I have never seen this kind of cutie in the Forbidden Forest...Harry, what does it look like? Is it beautiful... Where exactly did you meet it?"
Hagrid was all excited.
To Harry's relief, Hagrid didn't seem to realize that he was a Parseltongue, and instead thought he'd encountered some kind of scary-sounding, talking snake.
MacGuffin was described by Hagrid as "cute" after his transformation, and he had goosebumps on his face. He couldn't sit still when he heard it, and quickly changed the subject.
He deliberately pointed to the big black egg, which attracted the attention of Hermione and Harry.
"Hagrid - what's that?"
Finally, it was changed, and as an apology, it was changed to a chapter of 6000 words.The chapter name cannot be changed!This has something to do with not modifying the previous content, or the content of the next chapter, so I can only do this first, I am really sorry.
