Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 558

Early the next morning, McGuffin escaped from the dormitory as soon as he opened his eyes.

He really couldn't face Harry right now.

After reporting to Dumbledore last night... when he returned to the dormitory, fortunately Harry and the others were already asleep, otherwise he really didn't know how he could tell Harry... the whereabouts of the Invisibility Cloak.

As McGuffin slipped away quietly, he hurriedly put on his clothes and bumped along the spiral staircase to the common room below.

As soon as he got there, he saw Hermione buried in the pile of books.

The Hogwarts library just opened two days ago, so she has been borrowing books frantically these days to 'make up lessons'.

Hermione just looked up and saw him when the MacGuffin came up.

"Hello, MacGuffin." Hermione greeted casually, and when she was about to continue reading, she suddenly realized something and looked at MacGuffin again.

McGuffin looked flustered and didn't pretend to be self-confident, which immediately aroused Hermione's suspicion. She closed the book in her hand called "Ancient Druid's Method of Cultivating Legendary Tree Species; Jungle Whispers" and asked, "What's going on? McGuffin? You... what happened last night?"

--vomit!

"Don't mention this! I'm kind of disgusted..."

--vomit!

Hermione's words immediately reminded McGuffin that he almost got 'wet (si)' like that last night... This kind of nightmare hellish end, just thinking about it for a moment made him feel shivering.

"Don't mention it!" McGuffin made it clear with a livid face, retching and refusing to answer Hermione's question.

Looking at McGuffin's face, Hermione became even more curious, but she wisely didn't continue to ask.

She shook her head, continued to open her book, and began to read.

McGuffin was bored in every possible way. In order to distract himself, he also took a book that Hermione borrowed and read it to pass the time.

'What does it say? '

McGuffin felt dizzy when he saw it. He opened the cover of the book: —— "N+1 Ways Modern Wizards Cultivate Magical Plants".

'……this?How did Hermione become interested in the subjects that ancient Druids and Hufflepuff wizards were good at? Didn't she always ignore these subjects? '

McGuffin shook his head, and changed to another book of the same type but looked a little more interesting-"Legends and Textual Research of Ancient Rare Magical Plants" (written by Lincoln Jean Dele).

As time passed, the people in the common room were no longer in twos and threes, and the place began to become a little noisy.

Some students couldn't wait to run directly to the common room. While they were talking, McGuffin knew... These guys already knew that something happened in the dragon's habitat.

Such a big commotion yesterday, the roar of those fire dragons... obviously attracted everyone's attention.

This made McGuffin even more distressed. He pulled his hair and tried his best to use [Occlumency] to seal the images he saw last night in his mind.

But this kind of memory is too deep...Even if his [Occlumency] reached the extraordinary stage and he tried his best to seal it...that feeling of shame and nausea continued to stir up the memory from the deepest part along with the sound of everyone's discussion...stimulation.

Every time he recalled it, the disgusting feeling made him nowhere to go.

Of course, compared to Donald Eastfork's fate, McGuffin was almost completely untouched, and he didn't suffer any damage. This kind of Ah Q spirit made him feel much better.

In fact, McGuffin is sitting here blankly, but also has his own things that he wants to confirm.

Not long after that, a few owls brought the latest editions of "Daily Prophet", "London Wizard Daily", "Hourly Magic Event"... and many other newspapers in front of McGuffin.

He couldn't wait to open the newspaper and check it out:

[The latest developments in the London Mystery Case—two young Muggle women were attacked, their throats were cut and bloodletted to death, and their limbs were mutilated...It looks like they were bitten by an ogre...For more than a month, dark wizards have been committing crimes, and the Muggles in London are in panic. Well...he insisted that everything will be fine...]

[After a few months, let's examine the truth about the attack on the Ministry of Magic? ...Is it the North American dark wizard, the goblin, or the one who can't be mentioned by name? ? ? 】

[The man behind the interruption of the Quidditch match is still on the run...According to insiders, the Ministry of Magic has found nothing...]

【The most serious words in the history of the judges of the Wizengamot court..."The incompetent Fudge, facing all the terrible situations now... can only say that he has done his best? How long will we have to endure this corrupt and greedy bureaucrat?"】

[Because of the dispute over the results of the last Quidditch match that ended halfway... Bulgaria and the Irish Ministry of Magic have once again caused a severance of diplomatic relations...]

[Top Ten Tournament... Eleven Warriors?Let’s start with the past life experiences of each warrior...]

【…Harry Potter vs. Krum for the title of most famous warrior? 】

[The Ministry of Magic has set up new legal provisions to regulate the use of Gringotts funds...According to the informant of this newspaper, this matter is for the Ministry of Magic to solve the control of underground gambling by the goblins of Gringotts...to combat the circulation of Galleons in the black market...The goblin director of Gringotts firmly denies that Gringotts is involved...]

【…】

McGuffin carefully checked the headlines and contents of all the newspaper reports, and saw nothing shocking and bizarre. The latest news...for example, the topic of a certain top ten champion being drowned in feces...

After seeing that no news had been published, McGuffin breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

If such explosive news was not reported by the newspapers immediately, it should have been suppressed by others, and even if it was reported in the future, it would be regarded as a rumor.

Then, before Harry and the others came down, McGuffin bid farewell to Hermione... saying that he wanted to eat first,

He left a puzzled Hermione in the common room.

After going out from the hole behind the portrait, McGuffin immediately hid in an empty corner, and used the portkey to sneak into Dumbledore's office.

He wanted to find out what happened last night and how Dumbledore handled it.

This determines whether I should try my best to avoid the students of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the next period of time... lest I accidentally be hacked to death by them with a knife one day.

Dumbledore seemed to have expected this scene, and he was sitting in his chair quietly waiting for McGuffin to arrive.

"Good morning, Albert."

The old bee seemed to be in a very good mood.

So McGuffin was not so polite and reserved. He asked directly what happened after he left the dragon's habitat last night.

McGuffin's face became more and more gloomy.

"Then Harry's Invisibility Cloak?" He asked this question a little disgusted and disgusted.

In this regard, McGuffin was indeed a little sorry for Harry. He obviously borrowed it from Harry himself, but he made things like this.

"Oh... I asked Hagrid to take it back, you have to get it from him..." Dumbledore said.

He then knocked on the table and said, "Albert, you did a good job on this matter. It is estimated that in the next time... the wizard representative of Ilvermorny will not make trouble in the [Top Ten Tournament] and take methods outside the rules. It's just that you should be more careful at Hogwarts in the future. Agilbert Von Nat is not a magnanimous wizard..."

McGuffin cursed repeatedly in his heart, the scapegoat of feelings was indeed as he expected, completely and firmly blamed by him.

"...In short, well done! Next, Professor Snape and I can spare some time to help you lift the [Blood Curse]...McGuffin, remember to come to my office at 05:30 pm on November [-]th..."

"Well, you can go now, it's time for breakfast. I suppose you haven't had it yet?"

After Dumbledore ordered this matter, he directly drove McGuffin out.

'The old fellow!Not to mention giving some other affordable rewards.After painstakingly completing this guy's mission, and finally taking the blame for him, that's all. 'He was a little aggrieved.

After McGuffin closed the door and left, he carefully avoided the students of the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the stairs and corridors, and then walked into the auditorium.

When he got there, he happened to meet Hermione, Harry, and the three of them who were eating there.

"Ha, MacGuffin...how? How was last night?
McGuffin's face was livid, he really didn't want to recall everything about last night, especially during dinner.

--vomit!

After stabbing the bread with a fork a few times, McGuffin really lost his appetite.

When Harry asked where his invisibility cloak was?
McGuffin finally had no choice but to speak. He could only simply answer that Hagrid was there, and Hagrid knew what happened last night, so they could ask him.

"As for the fact that Hagrid is a half-blood giant...Even if it's exposed, I don't think Hagrid will care...I avenged him." McGuffin said vaguely.

Harry was very surprised, he didn't understand what that meant.

"Okay, Ron, it's still early for Hermione, let's go to Hagrid first and find out what's going on?" When Harry stood up, they were about to leave.

A familiar figure enters the auditorium amidst the crowd

He was framed by his fanatical fans.

The guy hadn't slept all night, he had a very tired look on his face, and he looked like he was trying to fight back his nausea (the nauseous look, which was much worse than the McGuffin's."

Seeing this, McGuffin immediately put down the dinner plate, followed behind Harry, hunched over to avoid the guy... just left secretly like that.

It's a pity that although the auditorium is astonishingly large, there is no room for McGuffin to sneak out from under Donald's nose.

"McGuffin—Albert!"

Donald Eastfork noticed the existence of McGuffin almost immediately. He squeezed out of the crowd, shouting with fire in his eyes... At the same time, he raised his wand, chasing after him like a machete tens of meters away.

Seeing this, McGuffin ran wildly without saying a word, and strode away outside the castle gate.

To be honest, after knowing this guy's miserable end last night, he really couldn't face this 'warrior'.

Fortunately, Donald also knew that if things were exposed last night, he would be the biggest victim... After losing control of his mind for a while, he came back again.

Donald looked around at the other students who were watching the excitement, as well as the surprised fans... and regained his composure.

This guy sat back down very coldly, forcing himself to... eat his breakfast as usual.

Ruthless!Really ruthless!This guy really is a well-deserved (open meal) warrior.

In the minds of people who know the inside story, it is impossible to imagine how he swallowed it.

The three of Harry stared blankly at this scene, and they had a feeling in their hearts...something must have happened last night, otherwise it wouldn't have happened like this.

Back then, even the mysterious man's recovery didn't make McGuffin so panicked and fled.

This incident aroused Harry's curiosity even more.

After that, they came to the hut by the Forbidden Forest. With Hagrid's hesitant expression on his face, Harry tightly put away his Invisibility Cloak, held it in his arms, and even smelled it.

It looked like he valued his invisibility cloak very much.

McGuffin felt even more guilty. He lowered his head and almost pushed his head into the ground.

Then Ron and Harry asked about what happened last night again,

McGuffin still faltered and refused to answer.

The two asked Hagrid again... He was also evasive, and at the same time he looked at the invisibility cloak in Harry's arms even more strangely.

In the end, McGuffin and Hagrid pushed the problem to Ron's brother Charlie.

"Charlie knows everything, you can ask him...if he'd like to tell you..." Hagrid finally said, and stopped talking about it.

As for the fact that he was a half-blood giant... and might be exposed, he acted calmly and didn't care at all.

This was far beyond Harry's expectations. You must know that Hagrid let go of this matter in his heart only after they persuaded him in every possible way the day before.

Why act like nothing happened now.

There are more than one or two strange things.

In addition, the two of them also found that the students of Ilvermorny's school were looking for McGuffins everywhere. Among them, Donald Donfork, who was very verbose and always showing off, had his eyes burning every time he saw McGuffins. Those two red eyes... seemed to be pulling out the McGuffins alive. They were even more hateful than Snape's eyes when he looked at Harry.

The two were in the castle and started a game of peek-a-boo.

What made Harry and the others feel paradoxical the most was that McGuffin didn't resist, and just avoided Donald like that... This was not his style at all.

Time passed quickly, and it was November [-]th in a blink of an eye.

These days, McGuffin was having a hard time. Ever since he took the blame from Dumbledore, he had to be sneaky when walking in the castle, and he had to be careful of the sudden attacks of Ilvermorny students in every corridor and corner.

Although what happened that night has not been leaked out, there are still various legends among Hogwarts students.

Especially about the change of the fire dragon that night.

It didn't make much sense, but it made Donald Eastfork hate the MacGuffin even more.

However, for today's MacGuffin Albert, the most important thing... is that the [Blood Curse] on him is about to be lifted.
