Chapter 397 [Movie Watch] Maggie Under the ‘Blood Curse’

December 4, 1992.

It has been two or three days since the incident with the pillar of light.

Tomorrow is a day off.

In the garden of the Burrow, Ottery St. Catchpole, Devonshire.

In the evening, two red-haired figures sat cross-legged on two very round stones.

"How did you feel at school today?" Ron tore off a piece of bread crumbs and threw it into the grass. He looked bored as the goblin carefully stretched out his calloused little hand, as if rubbing it randomly on the ground. After picking up the crumbs, he quickly retracted them.

Rupert was also looking at the goblin, "Snape is very good to Harry. He has nothing against Gryffindor. But Ron..."

"What's wrong with him?" Ron asked.

He was not surprised by Snape's attitude. Harry's mother was also resurrected in this world, so it was normal for Snape to be like this.

As for himself in this world, he was very concerned.

He once learned from Rupert that he was a good student who was as strict with himself as Percy in this world.

"He suddenly slacked off." Rupert said, "Today he didn't even go to the library, and slept in, and was almost late for the Herbology class."

"Sure enough." Ron smiled proudly, "He must have been a flash in the pan these days. He must have known that another Hogwarts was about to appear, and wanted to perform better."

On December 6, two days later, the countdown on the live broadcast platform will return to zero, and the channel between the two worlds will be opened.

However, for Ron now, the most important thing is to watch the movie tomorrow.

Today he was busy completing his homework for the Potions class and did not go to Hogwarts.

"Rupert, have you talked to Neville and the others about when we will go to the principal's office tomorrow."

Rupert nodded, "Tomorrow at 10 o'clock. It's just right for lunch after watching the third part. Then we'll continue. But the location has to be changed-the Pensieve has been moved to the staff lounge behind the auditorium."

"And-"

"What else?" Ron was puzzled.

"Harry and Ron are also going to join, from this world." Rupert said.

"Them too?" Ron dropped the bread in his hand to the ground.

A group of potato-shaped goblins rushed towards the bread.

Ron ignored them. He was just immersed in the joy and expectation of meeting another self, especially another Harry.

9:50 in the morning.

"Is this the faculty lounge?" Ron walked out of the green fire. "I have never been here, no matter which world."

He did not start the live broadcast.

The live broadcast has been turned on by Neville in this room.

At present, Neville and Draco are sitting quietly on the black wooden chair.

Not far away, Draco in this world is chatting with his friends - Ron and Harry.

"I can't believe that the power of light can be mastered by the Squib. Filch can cast spells with it." Draco is a little skeptical about life.

(The Squib audience in front of the live broadcast room were not too excited. They had already become acquired wizards through [Magic Fiber].)

"I said why he smiled at everyone he saw today. I thought he was under someone's Confusion Curse." Ron suddenly realized.

"That's a good thing. Maybe we can let Muggles master magic like in another world." Harry said happily, "Then we won't have to hide during the summer vacation. We are all wizards."

(Dumbledore thinks Harry's idea is a bit naive.)

(With Fleur's power, she can actually make [magic fiber] for Muggles all over the world. But the reason why she didn't do so is that the actual operation is not as simple as imagined.)

"Everyone has magic?" Rupert, who walked out of the fireplace later, heard Harry's words, "This may not be a good thing. At least how to manage more than 7 billion wizards is a big problem. And the supply of resources they need after entering the magic society-such as wands."

"I suggest starting with the families and relatives of Muggle wizards. Start with it."

"Then the upper echelons of Muggle society."

"The army, the police."

"Then the Muggles around the residences of wizard families."

"Finally, consider the wizardization of all mankind."

"A good idea." Dumbledore walked out of the firelight that appeared out of thin air in the air, and then walked down as if there were steps under his feet, "But the power of light is not so easy to comprehend."

"The Ministry of Magic has actually been promoting experiments in this area for a long time."

"According to experimental statistics, it is much more difficult for Muggles to comprehend the power of light than for Squibs and wizards."

"It is worth mentioning that those who love nature and have a clear mind are more likely to master the power of light."

In fact, the power of darkness, that is, the power that Gettler accepted in the basement, is actually more suitable for promotion, just like black magic is easier to get started.

Most of the world is ordinary people who are silent in the world and pushed by the turbid current.

There is a dark side in their hearts.

Being bad, that is, mastering the power of darkness, is easier than becoming good.

But he is not going to promote this power.

This power is not evil, but not everyone can control their desires well and not indulge in their dark side.

"Okay, let's start watching the movie."

Dumbledore habitually pulled out his wand and waved it in the direction of the Pensieve.

"It's so dark, the tone of this movie." Ron, who had watched the first and second parts, was a little uncomfortable.

"But..." Harry was a little confused, looking at himself reading a book under the quilt with fluorescent lights, "Can you cast spells at home?"

"The laws of our world are somewhat different from yours," said the tall Draco, "in terms of the definition of casting spells in front of Muggles. To be precise, small spells such as fluorescent spells do not count as casting spells. Muggles can use magic just as well. Do it.”

Harry didn't listen carefully to Draco's explanation.

Looking at the woman who appeared in the room and the bulldog she was holding, she said, "This must be the Aunt Maggie of this world."

This bossy attitude must be her fault.

She wasn't actually his aunt, she was Uncle Vernon's sister.

It's just that people around him asked him to call her that.

Harry's memories of her were all negative.

Beating Harry's calf with a cane, just to prevent him from beating Dudley in the music modeling game; giving Harry dog ​​biscuits as a Christmas gift; letting him be chased up a tree by a dog, and refusing to call the dog back to the house until midnight , and often made this matter a joke.

But even though he had expected it, he was still very angry when he heard the sound coming from the pensieve.

"It's not his father's fault, it's his mother's fault. If there's something wrong with the bitch, there must be something wrong with the puppy." Aunt Maggie finished mocking Harry's father for being an alcoholic.

("James is not an alcoholic!" Sirius stretched his neck and turned into a big black dog, barking angrily.)

(He didn't know that the novel actually went even further - a worthless, good-for-nothing, lazy beggar.)

(Otherwise he must be just like Snape.)

(Snape seemed to have a blower stuffed under his black robes, and everything in the room was affected by the violent wind caused by his anger. "How dare you?")

(The next second, he disappeared into the room.)

("Severus." Lily came a step late.)

(She came late because she was sad that Penny turned a blind eye to all this.)

(Snape's black figure was intercepted in front of No. 4 Privet Drive.)

(It's Dumbledore, "Please calm down, Severus.")

Seeing Aunt Maggie's body swell as if it had turned into a balloon.

"Well done!" Two Rons, Draco, and one Neville said in unison.

Harry felt a little regretful that he couldn't do it in reality.

Since his mother was resurrected, there was no need for him to go to No. 4 Privet Drive.

During today's summer vacation, he expected to complete the renovation of Potter's old house in Godric's Hollow.

Dumbledore sighed, not because of the Vernon family's cold violence towards Harry.

Rather, it was the curse that Maggie Vernon suffered not long ago.

He knew it came from Snape.

I am also willing to turn a blind eye.

But this curse is too vicious, similar to a blood curse that does not damage her lifespan or completely lose her humanity. Every day during the day, she will grow a dog's head, and she especially likes to eat excrement.

On the other side, Rupert was explaining the content of the movie.

"Actually, Maggie didn't insult Harry's mother in the novel. Because Harry's mother is also Petunia's sister."

(Lily, who also rushed to Privet Drive, said, "Stop, listen. Maybe this is just a movie fabrication, and Maggie didn't say that about me.")

(Snape then lowered his wand.)

(In the room at No. 4 Privet Drive, Petunia comforted her trembling husband and son, "That's Snape, my childhood neighbor and Lily's friend. You don't have to worry.")

"This big dog is actually Sirius."

“This bus is not a special effect, it’s a physical build.”

(Stan Sandpack yells, "Look, it's me.")

"Eddie Redmayne, who plays Newt Scamander, also auditioned for the conductor."

(Sampak became even more excited, "It's no use listening, Scamander! I must be a famous actor in that world, I have this potential.")

"At this point in the novel, Harry calls himself Neville."

Neville didn't pay attention to Rupert's words. He looked pale and pointed at the shrunken head with black dreadlocks hanging in front of the windshield, "What's going on with this head? It can still talk."

(Dumbledore said, "A means of extending life, but no sane person would use it.")

"It's not important." Novel Ron said, "The important thing is why does this Knight Bus still stop and give way to pedestrians? It will obviously avoid the obstacles in front of it, right?"

“However, it’s interesting to know that braking can slow down time around you, and the car can also be compressed.”

(The driver of the Knight Bus, Ern Pullan, was a little yearning, "Wouldn't that mean I don't have to look at the road when driving?")

"Doesn't that mean we don't have to watch the road?" Movie Ron said, "If our world can be like this, I will definitely be a driver in the future."

"Hey, Fudge." Seeing the figure appearing in the screen, the longing on Ron's face disappeared instantly, "He looks like a good person now, doesn't he?"

("It was so good back then." Fudge, who was in ragged clothes in Azkaban, looked at his high-spirited self on the screen with envy.)

("I am your godfather." Sirius howled loudly when Harry asked on the screen what relationship he had with Sirius.)

("This is outrageous. The Minister of Magic even booked a room at the Leaky Cauldron in advance for him." An audience member was secretly dissatisfied with Harry's high-standard treatment.)

Dumbledore frowned. He had seen Tom, Old Tom from the Leaky Cauldron.

This Tom not only has a hunchback, but also looks too much like Tom after his magical transformation. He doesn't seem to be very friendly to Harry, judging from the way he pulled Harry's stool away.

Rupert continued his 'work', "This biting book is actually a textbook selected by Hagrid - The Monster Book of Monsters."

"Hagrid? The professor of Care of Magical Creatures?" Harry and Ron looked at each other in surprise.

Tall Draco nodded, "That's right, only he would choose such a textbook."

Short Draco frowned, "Can this book still be read? There are scraps of paper all over the floor."

Movie Ron said, "The Monster Book of Monsters is a living book that can repair itself."

"Scabbers~" x2

Movie Ron and novel Ron both showed expressions of vomiting.

Novel Ron didn't even bother to look at movie Hermione and what the Weasleys looked like.

("Arthur!" Mrs. Weasley was furious because Arthur in the movie told Harry the detailed information about Sirius, "So you told him this news! He was still a child! If Sirius wasn't a good man, Harry——")

Movie Ron looked disgusted, "If only my mother had forgotten to hand Scabbers to me at that time. I touched Scabbers' belly countless times along the way. It was enjoying it, it was really disgusting."

(Sirius had a richer imagination. He had imagined Peter's face full of comfort enjoying Ron's caress, and vomited it out.)

"This is the appearance of the Dementors." Rupert said.

Dumbledore looked curious, "The Dementors in your world are really interesting, and they can also bring low temperatures. However. Even if I look at it now, I am still very curious. If it weren't for Lupin's action, the Dementors almost sucked Harry's soul away. In this way, I would not blame Fudge and stop the Dementors from floating around Hogwarts."

The scene has jumped to the Great Hall.

(Professor Flitwick looked curiously at the short figure in the hall directing the choir singing with toads in their arms. In his memory, this was him. And according to what Rupert said before, this was actually another role played by the same actor.)

"One of them is Lefou." Movie Neville said with a little pride.

"This song is pretty nice." said Ron in the novel. "Neville would be very happy if he knew that his Leif could be put to such use."

Rupert explained, "Actually, this is a prophecy. The lyrics can be understood as Voldemort's resurrection in the cauldron. The director's bad taste. Because of the escape of Scabbers - Peter Pettigrew, Voldemort got a chance to make a comeback."

"Also," he pointed at Draco who laughed at Harry fainting in the picture, "In fact, in the novel, Draco almost wet his pants and ran to Fred and George's box trembling."

Short Draco frowned, "There is Basil in our world, but it is not exactly the same as in the novel. I am definitely not this cowardly."

Tall Draco was curious, "It makes sense that Potter in our world fainted, and almost had his soul sucked by the Dementors. What about the novel world?"

While speaking, he looked at the novel Harry.

The reason why the prefixes of the movie and the novel are used to distinguish the two Rons, instead of short and tall like Draco.

It is because Ron in the novel is younger, but he should be taller.
