97. Against whom
When McGoth and Hermione got off the train, they saw Hagrid who had come to pick them up.
"Hagrid, Merry Christmas." Magos happily stepped forward and said.
"Oh, Magos, your letter frightened me, I'm sorry I couldn't get there, you know, I can't use spells, or I'd like to go straight to the motorcycle." Hagrid held him hard with self-reproach.
Hermione had heard McGoth talk about it, and she was scared enough, but luckily he was lucky. told him not to leave the UK in the future.
"Don't worry, Hagrid, I'm not doing well, and I want to thank you for informing Professor Sprout." McGoth struggled out of Hagrid's foul mug.
The Christmas decorations in the school are still there, and it seems that they want to let the students who are not staying in the school feel the aftertaste of the holiday season and let them know what Hogwarts is like at Christmas.
"Welcome back." When McGoth and the others entered the Gryffindor common room, Harry and Ron had been waiting for a long time.
McGoth went over and hugged them hard, "Merry Christmas." ”
"Merry Christmas." *2
After laughing for a while, Harry and Ron couldn't wait to ask him about the female ghost.
"Hagrid told you?"
Harry Ron nodded violently, looking at him with worried and adoring eyes.
"Hagrid showed us your letter, we're worried about it, and we'd like to visit your house if we can't leave the school." Ron pulled out the letter McGoth had written.
"Don't worry, Professor Sprout came to me that day, and she brought back the movie with a female ghost."
"Movie tape? Muggle stuff? Ron's topic suddenly turned crooked, Hermione glared at him fiercely, and Ron looked at it a little sneeringly, remembering that now was not the time to ask this.
McGoth looked at him with a smile and told him what the movie tape was. Then, before they could ask questions and prepare to talk about the process, the door to the common room opened again, and the twins and Percy walked in. As soon as the twins saw McGoth sitting on the sofa, they ran over and first cared about it, and then hurriedly asked for details, and the older brother Percy in the back greeted him politely.
It took a moment for McGoth to repeat the female ghost he had met in Japan, "That's the way it is, Professor Sprout said I was lucky this time, and I think she's right." After speaking, he looked up at the classmates gathered in the lounge with a look of great luck.
The students who have not experienced the bombardment of horror movies obviously do not have the kind of fearful experience of McGoss, they are more curious, asking about the details of female ghosts.
"Your adventure is amazing." On the way to the restaurant in the evening, I don't know if George or Fred jumped up to him and gave him a thumbs up.
McGoth smiled wryly and said that he would rather not go through this adventure.
One of the twins patted him on the shoulder and smiled and said that we should cherish every adventure that we can get away with, because then we can increase the chances of success or escape in the next adventure.
McGoth was shocked at what he could say, and looked at him in surprise.
"Haha, that's what we've learned from our fight with Filch, and that's great, isn't it? By the way, I'm George. With that, George patted McGoss on the shoulder and walked over to his brother with a wink.
"What did George tell you?" Hermione asked, popping up from behind her.
"How do you tell he's George?" Magos ignored her.
"Isn't it easy to tell?" Hermione asked quizzically.
McGoth looked at Hermione, who was not pretending, and reluctantly thought that this was a scholarly identification method, and ordinary people did not have this ability.
After returning to the dormitory after dinner, McGoth was suddenly patted by someone, looked back but there was nothing, looked at the place where he was photographed suspiciously, thought it was an illusion, and was slapped again just as he was about to lie down, this time it was definitely not a hallucination, subconsciously turned around and was about to ask if it was Harry them, I saw that Harry was looking at him with a wicked smile, and he quickly restrained his expression when he saw it. Magos looked at Ron's bedside again, there was no one, and it occurred to him that Ron was joking with Harry's cloak of invisibility.
He feigned surprise and asked Harry if Ron had learned the vanishing charm he had told them last semester. Harry held back a laugh, shook his head and didn't speak.
"Ron, come out, I know it's you." McGoth jerked his hand in that direction as he was slapped again, and touched something very soft.
"But you can't see me." Ron's voice came from nowhere.
"That vanishing spell you really learned?" McGoth asked in an exaggerated tone towards the source of the voice.
"Of course...... Not really. As he spoke, McGoth saw Ron suddenly appear in front of him, clutching a beautiful cloak in his hand.
"And how did you do that?" The surprised tone and puzzled look in Ron's eyes gave him great satisfaction, and he handed him the cloak in his hand as if offering a treasure, telling him that it was a very expensive invisibility cloak.
"Invisibility cloak?" McGoth looked at the cloak in his hand that was smoother than silk with a little excitement, the two of them didn't know that this was one of the famous Deathly Hallows, thinking it was just an ordinary invisibility cloak. "How did you have this, I wanted to buy one when I first learned about this magic item, but I couldn't find where to buy it."
"It's a Christmas present Harry received, and Harry doesn't know who gave it." Ron said with a shrug at Harry.
"By the way, speaking of Christmas presents, Magos, how do you use that big guy you gave me, Harry said it's just one of the accessories." Ron complained about the death of the gift that McGoth had given him.
McGoth gave him a blank look, "Nonsense, a complete computer is the size of a full-fledged computer, once it is sent over, what if it is discovered by the professors in the school, and there is no electricity in the school, we also need something that can generate electricity stably." ”
"Then what's the point of you giving me a half-finished product." Ron was in a hurry, he finally had access to a high-grade Muggle item, and he had to do what he could do if he could see if he could use it.
"Yes, Magos, Hogwarts doesn't have electricity, so we can't use a computer even if we have it." Harry was a little helpless about McGoss's gift, he didn't expect him to actually send a computer, although it was just a monitor, he still remembered Ron's ecstasy when he unpacked it and saw it, and he told him that he didn't need it.
"I'll find a way to do it, Ron, don't take that thing out of the dorm room and the break room, it's not good if someone else sees it, put it in the secret room." McGoth really didn't have a good way to deal with the electricity problem, he went back to check on your small generator, but this era is really not small, fortunately, there is a lot of time, and slowly think that there will always be a way.
Ron went back to his bed and lay down unhappy.
"By the way, Harry, can you lend me this cloak?" McGoth couldn't care about Ron's mood anymore, and wanted to use this cloak very much.
"Of course, by the way, I haven't thanked you for the gift yet." Magos gave Harry a few strange and fun magic items.
"It's nothing, didn't you give me a gift too." Magos said with a smile.
"McGoss, Ron and I found something during the Christmas break?" Harry was suddenly in a low mood.
"What's that?" Magos was now eager to put on the invisibility cloak and test the effect, not noticing Harry's tone.
"A mirror, Magos, a very, very big mirror." Harry told him and Ron about the Mirror of Eris that he and Ron had seen, including the fact that he had met Dumbledore later.
"The Mirror of Eris? How did you find it? ”
"You know?" Harry asked, surprised.
McGoth nodded and told him that he and Hermione had discovered it when they first came to Hogwarts.
"How did you find it? It's in the middle of nowhere, huh? ”
"I just got this cloak, and I sneaked out alone at night, and I met Filch and Snape on the way, and I accidentally saw it as I ran away." Harry was clearly still a little haunted by what had happened that night.
"By the way, what did you and Hermione see?" Harry asked, curious.
McGoth whispered what he had told Hermione, and Harry looked at him a little speechless.
"Harry, the Headmaster is right, we can't live in a false illusion, it's false after all." Magos gave Harry a worried look.
"I knew, but I just wanted to look at it again, and then I stopped looking, and I kept having the same nightmare, I dreamed over and over again that my mom and dad disappeared in a sudden green light, and there was a loud sound rattling in my ears." Harry was in a very low mood.
Hearing this, McGoth's heart moved, "Maybe it's not a dream?" ”
"What do you mean? Ron said I had those nightmares because of the magic mirror. ”
"Harry, as much as I hate to say this, I still have to tell you that we all know that your parents were persecuted by the Mystery, who was defeated by Headmaster Dumbledore, but so far no one can be sure if the Mystic is dead, if he will come back, and what will you do if he does come back one day."
"Revenge." Harry didn't even think about it, and a flame of hatred welled up in his eyes.
"Yes, revenge, Harry, but revenge requires not only will, but also strength and companionship, so we must not linger in illusions, which are beautiful, but they do not allow us to increase our strength and knowledge. So in school we need to learn as much as we can learn about the magic and the spells we can so that we can have the possibility to fight him in the future. ”
"Against whom?" Ron didn't know when he came running again.
