In what follows, Harry sees something different. He found that Merlin seemed to have been looking for ways to transform wizards and magical animals as little harm as possible. If the bloodline transformation is successful, the training time of Animagus can be greatly shortened.
However, this experiment was not successful in the end.
Harry didn't know what an animagus was—it hadn't been covered in Transfiguration this term. But he already understood that this was just one of Merlin's more dangerous research, and he always adhered to the original bottom line.
At the end of the book, Harry saw a description of Hogwarts, where Merlin also went to school and was a student of Slytherin House! This part made Harry decide to do it again at least tomorrow night.
The next morning, the snow had not yet melted.
"Want to play chess?" Ron asked, "This chess set that Maka gave me is awesome. It's much more exciting than ordinary wizard chess. The fire dragon on it is really powerful!"
"In no mood."
"Why don't we go down and see Hagrid?"
"If you don't go... you go."
"Harry," Ron suddenly looked at him and said, "Do you still want to go tonight? Listen to me, don't go again."
"Why?" Harry raised his head.
"Those books in the restricted area give me a bad feeling," Ron said seriously, "Besides, you met Filch last time, and when we came back last night, we saw him sticking his head out again Brainstorm the library. What if he sees you? What if he bumps into you?"
"You sound so much like Hermione now!" Harry said with a forced smile.
"I'm not kidding, Harry, really don't go." Ron seemed to feel really bad.
"Okay!" Seeing that Ron was serious, Harry nodded hesitantly.
But that night, when he was lying on the bed, he remembered the contents of the book again. The stories captured his attention like myths and legends - he was still a child after all. And Aunt Petunia, who had not liked him since he was a child, would not waste money on buying him any fairy tale books.
"Go again! Just the last time!" Harry secretly made up his mind.
Then he wrapped himself in the invisibility cloak again, quickly left the dormitory while Ron was sleeping, and quickly headed to the library.
"Oh! He still went?"
Harry ran so fast that he bumped into the coat rack by the door as he left. After he left, a coat hanging from it slipped off, startling Ron awake.
Ron turned his head and saw that Harry was no longer in bed.
Putting aside Ron's matters, Harry was almost at the library at this time.
Just when he took out the big book again and was about to continue reading, he inadvertently discovered that there was someone leaning on the bookshelf next to him!
"Ah!" Harry was so frightened that he almost threw the book away, "Oh - Professor Dumbledore? I'm sorry, I didn't see you."
"It's strange that you have become short-sighted after turning invisible." Dumbledore said, and Harry couldn't help but sigh in relief when he saw a smile on his face.
"So," Dumbledore said, slowly walking over and sitting on the floor with Harry, "you have read the little autobiography written by Merlin himself in the Book of Jazz?"
"Well, I think so." Harry was a little nervous. After all, it was against school rules to visit Hogwarts at night.
"How's it going? Do you think it's interesting?" Dumbledore said slowly, "I've also seen that part. King Arthur pulled out the 'Sword in the Stone', but was killed when he was dueling with King Bolinor. It was cut off; as a result, Merlin took him to a lake. The goddess in the lake held a sword and gave it to him. It was the world-famous Holy Sword of Broken Steel, also known as the "Sword in the Lake" by later generations. .”
"...Merlin likes Muggles very much, doesn't he? Even the 'Merlin Jazz Order' founded by him initially only existed to advocate the use of laws to protect Muggles and safeguard their rights and interests. But later, it changed for some reason. It has become an organization that honors great magical achievements."
After that, Dumbledore sighed, and then said seriously: "Okay, you have heard the story, don't come here again. You, and Ron, don't just run into the forbidden book area again. The books here are dangerous."
"How do you know-"
"I don't have to use the Invisibility Cloak to be invisible," Dumbledore said gently. "Please also remember that you are not yet at the age where you can read books on dark arts at any time."
Harry pursed his lips and finally nodded dejectedly. But just as he was about to stand up, he remembered something again - he turned his head and looked at the silver-gray magic book.
Harry didn't ask Dumbledore why Maca came here, and even wrote down a note in the book. But with Dumbledore's keenness, he had already noticed Harry's gaze.
Dumbledore shook his head slightly. He didn't know if he did the right thing this time. Will that extremely smart and lovable child become like Tom
His intuition told him no, but this was not something that could be judged based on intuition.
He had missed an opportunity to save his student, and the child was on a path of no return; he did not want to let Maka get lost in the fork in his life because of his inaction.
So this time, Dumbledore was always observing Maka carefully, and he wanted to guide him in time when Maka had problems.
Harry had already gone back under the watch of Dumbledore, but Dumbledore himself was lost in thought.
However, when Harry returned to the dormitory, he saw Ron sitting on the edge of the bed uneasily. When he was surprised, Ron pulled him over.
"Harry, I'm telling you—"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gone without telling you." Harry apologized immediately.
Ron immediately shook his head.
"No, let's not mention that." He said, "I originally wanted to go out to find you secretly. You know, we have gone out even without the invisibility cloak - I mean, I was on my way to the library just now At that time, guess what I saw?"
"What?" Harry asked confused.
"I saw Snape! He pinned Quirrell against the wall and said viciously, 'Have you figured out how to subdue Hagrid's monster?' and so on. It looked scary!"
"You weren't discovered by him, were you?" Harry asked hurriedly.
"No, no, I didn't dare to stay too long. I'll be back soon."
Afterwards, Harry lay in bed and thought for a long time, but he couldn't fall asleep.
The next day, Harry decided to listen to Dumbledore. He folded the invisibility cloak well and placed it at the bottom of the box. He did not touch it once during the remaining days of the Christmas vacation.
Harry's turmoil during the Christmas holiday is basically over here, but for Maka, it can only be regarded as just the beginning!
"… what is that?"
Luna has asked this question many times in the past few days, but Maka took the trouble to introduce various things in the Muggle world to her. Although Luna still looked dazed, it was obvious that she was curious about everything around her.
Maka didn't take Luna too far because she still had to go home every night. Although Xenophilius felt at ease with them, he was not so relieved that he just let Luna spend the night outside.
But even so, walking around London was already a bit dizzying for Luna.
Christmas has just passed, but the festive atmosphere has become even more intense. Outside Covent Garden, a huge reindeer stands in the middle of the street. It wears a Santa hat on its head, a red and white plush scarf around its neck, and is covered with flickering lights. It looks particularly festive.
The garden is lined with rows of small stalls, where you can buy a variety of warm drinks and small desserts at very cheap prices. Maka was very lucky that she had saved some spare pounds when exchanging gold galleons, which could be put to use this time.
He bought a lot of delicious and fun things, and all kinds of small gifts had a strong Christmas atmosphere. It seemed that because there were too many people inside, Luna took the initiative to hold Maka's hand.
Maka looked at her and smiled. He knew very well that Luna just didn't want to be separated. For this innocent and spiritual little girl, everything is so pure.
Maka carried a lot of things and pulled Luna to the rest area on the street outside where tourists could stay.
"Try this," Maka smiled and handed a cream dessert to Luna, "This is a special dessert for Christmas, it looks good!"
Luna took the dessert and looked at it curiously. She also has many various Christmas decorations at hand, and she especially likes these baubles.
"Maka."
Luna carefully placed the two-bitten dessert on the table, stuck out her tongue and licked her upper lip, her eyes falling on the Christmas tree not far away.
"What's wrong?" Maka responded.
"Aren't you going home?" Luna blinked her big eyes and asked while observing the decorations on the Christmas tree.
Maka thought she was asking the Christmas tree - can't they watch people talk properly
"Well, I won't reply." In front of Luna, Maka would always subconsciously avoid topics about his family, although he didn't know why.
Luna turned her head and glanced at him, and said as if she was dreaming: "Family is the only place in the world where people's shortcomings and failures are hidden, and it is also the only place where people's shortcomings and failures are exposed."
After saying that, she turned her attention to the trinket in front of her, as if she had forgotten what she had said in the blink of an eye.
Maka stared at her blankly for a while, then cast her gaze to the distant street.
Christmas in the UK is always so leisurely. Everyone takes to the streets, looking left and right, enjoying the wonderful time of the Christmas holiday. You can clearly tell which ones are lovers and which ones are parents and children in the crowd. But no matter what combination, there is a happy smile on the face
After a long time, Maka came back to her senses. He smiled bitterly to himself, actually he would sometimes envy others.
Just when he looked at the table in front of him again, planning to pick a dessert for himself to try, he found that the crowd around him suddenly became unusually commotion.
