Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 12 Hit the wall!McGuffin!
The Albert family has changed a lot since McGuffin and Mr. Longman came back from Diagon Alley.

The gorilla Clooney is holding the witch's picture all day long, and he always sees his drooling and idiot appearance. Little Bean Amanda pesters McGuffin all day long and wants him to give her long blonde hair. She thinks it is more mature and feminine.As for his older sister Emily, she stared at McGuffin's wand and other magic supplies all day long.

According to her, it is a necessary sacrifice for great scientific achievements, and there must be some unknown scientific explanation behind the magic.

"Don't you have any spirit of dedication to human science?" She raised her fist indignantly and asked MacGuffin sternly.

"Once this unbelievable thing is explained, it will not only greatly promote the development of human civilization, but it will also be easy to win the Nobel Prize!"

Uh... I'm afraid the last sentence is your sincerity.

If all this is barely acceptable, the one thing that makes it even more unbearable is the unusually anxious atmosphere and poor breakfast every morning.

"Here, Errol, have some water." McGuffin laid the Weasley owl flat on the upholstered chair.

Every few days, Errol, the owl of Mr. Weasley's house, always brought letters to Longman at breakfast, looking almost dead.

That's right!Mr Longman and Mr Weasley had become very good friends since his return from Diagon Alley.

The contents of their letters are similar, introducing each other the stories of the Muggle world and the wizarding world.

--What?You ask me how the McGuffin knows?
Because Longman would read aloud word by word at the table during breakfast, for example now:

"This is a letter from a wizard friend." Mr. Langman's opening remarks were like this every time. He stood up, shook the parchment envelope, and read it aloud in a proud and triumphant tone.

Mr. Longman is very courageous now, and he doesn't care about Ruilina who keeps expressing dissatisfaction with cold snorts and white eyes.

It's hard to be caught in the middle.

The quality of the daily breakfast that Relina cooks is also declining sharply. As for the gorilla Clooney, he doesn't care.Because now his full attention is on the charming witch card, and he smirks when he looks at it.

This is one of the reasons for the bad atmosphere at the dinner table.

Listening to Clooney's smirk, his father Langman read aloud aloud, coupled with Ruilina's cold snort from time to time.

What kind of symphony is this!?
I'm going to crash!
McGuffin wants to hit the wall!
boom! boom! boom!
……

McGuffin was going to learn the [History of Magic] course and the magic of [Occlumency] (a few days after Diagon Alley came back, the "Basic Occlumency Guide" was sent to McGuffin by the profiteer Les Finley through an owl).

After McGuffin knew the usefulness of the talent points rewarded by the system for him, he gradually stepped up to complete the [Second Novice Mission].

He began to teach himself the first-year course of [History of Magic], and besides that, he spent almost all of his remaining time on [Occlumency]. The two books "How to Seal Your Brain", "Protecting Your Secret: Beware of Those Dementors" and the newly acquired "Occlumency Guide" were almost torn apart.

McGuffin is going to complete the novice task by rote memorizing the easiest course [History of Magic] to get 2 talent points.

At the same time, you must learn Occlumency, at least the [Occlumency] skill must appear on the system panel, otherwise you will not be able to improve through talent points.

With such a three-pronged approach, I won't be discovered by those old bastards who can take souls this year (especially that weird Voldemort behind Quirrell's head)?

McGuffin spends almost all the time of the day on the achievement of these two goals, and when he occasionally rests, he lies on the bed and reads the old books he bought.

Among them, "Wizard Ancient Ruins" particularly fascinated him. It not only introduced the excavation of ancient magic relics in various continents since modern times, but also guessed and verified the historical authenticity of the legendary mythical magic.

This is not mentioned at all in the original book, and it also makes McGuffin understand deeply that this is a real world. When you arrive at Hogwarts, you must be careful, steady, and cautious.

In addition, McGuffin, the complete textbook of the first grade, has already tried his best to memorize it in his head. As a time traveler, his actual age is 2-3 times that of the kid in the same grade. He also has his own little self-esteem.

Among these textbooks, what he is most interested in is not the "Standard Spells, Elementary" of the [Spells Class], and the "Beginner's Guide to Transformation" of the [Transformation Class], these two courses and books that can cast magic.

It is a book that has almost no sense of existence in the seven years of Hogwarts - "The Theory of Magic" written by Adebe Waughlin, and there is simply no course about this book in the first-year curriculum.

Compared with other textbooks, "Magic Theory" is like this - it is equivalent to the difference between the main subjects of art and mathematics in the middle school textbooks of McGuffin's previous life.

Although it is not thick and the content is not much, McGuffin thinks this is the most useful. Even if there is no course, this book is arranged, which shows that Dumbledore attaches great importance to this book.

It mainly elaborates in detail the development process of magic theory from ancient times to modern times, the cognition of magic power and magic talent in the magic world (mainly a few popular guesses), the key factors of casting magic, the essence of spells and modern research and development, and the connection and difference of magic between continents and other five main chapters.

Among them, this book introduces in detail the views on wizards' magical talents in the second chapter. It mainly raises and conjectures to explain the following questions.

1 Why are there so many differences among wizards? Some of them are good at transforming, some are good at potions, and some wizards have a "celestial eye" that can predict the future?
2. What determines the difference in magical talent among wizards, and why are wizards from pure-blood families often have higher magical talents?
3 Why are wizards born among Muggles, and squibs appear in pure-blood families?

……

The magic world mainly provides three conjectures that have not been confirmed so far to solve the above problems about magic talent.

Now the mainstream of the magic world believes that some people are born with magical talents, which are determined at birth.If you are gifted with magic, you are lucky enough to be on the line!

Um!It's very Gryffindor-like, 'reckless' is just one word.Not to mention that this simple, crude, straightforward (full of loopholes) explanation is actually welcomed by almost everyone, and even if some people do not accept it, few people object to it.

Of course, there will be people who object, and among them, those who despise this statement most are wizards from the so-called 'Holy 28 Pure-Blood Families', and of course wizards who graduated from Slytherin. Most of them are either followers of the Dark Lord or wizards related to it.They seem to be particularly fanatical in their belief in the Dark Lord's interpretation of the pure-blood theory of wizards proposed by Slytherin 400 years ago.

The theory goes like this - magical talent exists only in wizarding families.

The degree of pure blood determines the level of your magic talent.

Born a Squib?That's because your family's bloodline has deteriorated, and if you want to maintain your magical talent, you need to purify your wizard's bloodline. (I didn’t say how to purify. The Dark Lord meant to divide the wizarding family into three, six, and five classes. All Muggle wizards are not worthy of learning magic, or are low-level wizards. This way, Huang Ying, a pure-blood wizard family, is very popular.)

There are wizards born in the Muggle family, that is, some of their ancestors are squibs, and they also have the blood of wizards. (Of course, it is generally impossible to prove.)
Needless to say, this set of theories is self-consistent and perfectly explains almost all problems.It's just a little problem - it's purely conjecture, it can't be proved, and the biggest problem is - often the most "pure blood" family either disappears in the long river early, or is now full of lunatics, unable to maintain the blood of the family.

So this theory was originally a reason for the Dark Lord to seize power, but now it has only been transformed into a statement for the pure-blood family to maintain the glory of power.

There is another kind, according to the legend, which comes from the conjecture of the founder of Hufflepuff himself, and only a small number of students in their college believe this statement-everyone has magical talent, but they have not yet found the correct key and method to unlock their magical talent.Even Muggle Squibs believe in the possibility of miracles working magic.

Of course, this kind of nonsense is hardly believed in the current magic world, and it has almost become a joke.Waughlin, the author of this book, also made this point.

McGuffin closed the book when he saw this. According to his experience in reading detective novels, the last point of view is likely to be the truth of magical talent, that is, everyone has magical talent, but only needs keys and training to improve, but he is still just a little wizard who has not entered school, and he has no ability to prove this theory. After thinking about it, it is not good for him to prove it, and it will break with the wizards of the entire wizarding world.

McGuffin also let go of this idea, and continued to compete with [History of Magic].
