Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 160 Monster Book? Are you still crazy?

After writing the reply, Harry told the Dursleys that he was going to stay for a week.

When Uncle Vernon heard the news, a smile instantly appeared on his face.

After all, he had no intention of rejecting Maggie Dursley, the sister who had almost raised him single-handedly.

……

When Harley woke up early the next morning, she saw a mountain of birthday gifts piled up in the room.

What made her curious was that the birthday gift at the top seemed to be alive, struggling constantly and making loud biting sounds.

Harley opened the gift first, while her hands were covered with black flames.

This method is very useful. The things in the package seem to sense the danger, and the movement of the items is much smaller in an instant.

Harley quickly opened the package and found a book inside.

On the beautiful green cover of this book is printed the golden title, "The Monster Book of Monsters".

The book that Harry studied carefully.

Suddenly, the book opened its pages suddenly, as if it opened a big mouth and bit into Harry.

But it stopped in mid-air, wrapped in a layer of black flames.

"The Monster Book of Monsters" fell directly in front of Harry's eyes, hit the floor hard, and rolled crazily.

It was still open, as if it wanted to wail, but the sound was blocked by an unknown force.

Harley was half lying on the chair, admiring the horror of the book.

After about five minutes, Harry slightly raised his fingers, and the flame went out instantly.

A thread of thread tethered the book and pulled it back to Harley's hand.

Harley looked at the book in her hand again and reached out to touch its green pages.

As Harley's fingertips passed by, the book in her hand seemed to want to curl up, but she was helpless and could only tremble.

"Sure enough, items with living properties are easy to deal with."

Harley seemed to be talking to herself, but she could be heard by all living creatures in the room,

"I think you will be good and won't cause trouble for me, right?"

"The Monster Book of Monsters" very spiritually stopped shaking randomly and started shaking at a certain frequency, as if it was nodding.

"How good," Harry threw the book on the table, and the book scratched the side and bottom of Hedwig's cage.

The little snowy owl glanced at the book below with pity and shook her head.

Why do you have to offend your master? There is no point in doing anything other than making yourself miserable.

After Harley put down the book, she looked at the package again.

There was also a greeting card in the package, with Hagrid's crooked font on it, congratulating himself on his birthday and telling himself that he would use this book next semester.

"Hagrid is going to be the professor of Care of Magical Creatures?" Harry raised his head and looked out the window.

"By the way, it seems that the professors said during the chat that Professor Kettle Byrne is retiring and he only has one arm and one leg left.

The matter of Slytherin's heir last semester was also pushed to Lockhart, so Hagrid's charges were cleared and he could pass the review of being a professor. "

For some reason, Harley suddenly wanted to sigh.

Based on Hagrid's character and the strange book he just sent that was probably a textbook, Harry had a bad premonition about the Care of Magical Creatures class next semester.

Putting the matter aside, Harley continued to open her birthday presents. Compared with Hagrid's birthday present, the others' were relatively normal.

Hermione gave Harry a set of clothes made in France, which seemed to be from a well-known Muggle brand.

But look at the style of the clothes... Harley shook her head, feeling that it didn't particularly match the witch's style.

Professor Dumbledore gave himself a notebook with an interesting title -

"Patronus Charm Research Essay - Thoughts on Love, Friendship and Happiness".

According to the greeting card accompanying the book, Professor Dumbledore thought he would need this spell next semester, so he sent this notebook.

Professor Slughorn gave himself a small bottle of potion, which seemed to be his own homemade skin-nourishing potion.

Professor Slughorn also hinted in the greeting card that he could teach Harry how to boil this potion if she wanted to.

"Oh, will my immortal witch be attracted to such an ordinary potion? I am just interested in the knowledge of potions!"

Harley muttered in her mind and put the potion away carefully.

After opening many gifts, Harry was surprised to find that Professor McGonagall also gave him a gift.

In addition to sending a letter announcing the start of school, a book list and a permission form to visit Hogsmeade, Professor McGonagall also sent an invitation letter and a Transfiguration Notebook as a birthday gift.

This is an invitation to Professor McGonagall's own "Transfiguration Club".

According to Professor McGonagall, only those young wizards with extraordinary talents can receive invitations in the third grade.

In the club, Professor McGonagall will teach the members some advanced knowledge and teach them more content.

Professor McGonagall hopes that Harry can join this club and read the knowledge in the notes before the start of school.

"Transfiguration Club? You can join it. The current Transfiguration courses are too simple. The potential of Transfiguration should be more than that."

Harley thought and went downstairs with the application form.

It's not difficult to get Aunt Petunia to sign it anyway, so there's no need to waste materials setting up the ceremony and then sign it yourself.

Because Harry used a little bit of rhetoric before and said that he took the initiative to stay out for a week in order to take care of Dursley's face.

Professor Dumbledore will take him away when the time comes.

So Aunt Petunia was very considerate and signed the application form directly.

……

Three days later, Professor Dumbledore arrived as scheduled and took Harry to attend the investiture ceremony of Sir Merlin.

Harry clearly heard Uncle Vernon hiding in the kitchen muttering:

"Penny, didn't you say that the old man named Dumbledore is the greatest wizard in the magical world? Why does he come here every year?

Or is the headmaster of the wizarding school named Hogg...Hogwarts just so idle? "

The corner of Harry's mouth twitched slightly, and she was suddenly curious. Is Principal Dumbledore so idle?

Or is it that the old man is particularly concerned about himself, the ordinary, featureless, pure and innocent original witch of joy, pain, despair, and ageless witch?

Professor Dumbledore's expression remained normal, and he didn't know if he heard it.

"Are you ready, Harry?" Professor Dumbledore looked at Harry with a smile.

"Let's go to the Leaky Cauldron first, where Professor Slughorn is waiting for us."

……

After going around and around, the three finally arrived at the Ministry of Magic.

This time, it was not Crouch but Fudge who was waiting for a few people outside the door of the special room for Apparition.
