Chapter 413 Rove: Trelawney, I call you great-great-grandmother!
Sparse sunlight shines through the leaves like grains of gold, filling the glass garden with moisture and warmth.
Professor McGonagall, who was sitting on a chair, basked in the sun so leisurely. She raised her head and quietly looked at Shirley who was standing under the tree practicing Transfiguration.
The girl with ponytails was wearing a white robe, and her skin was as white as winter snow. Even Professor McGonagall felt extremely beautiful.
The old man seemed to be looking at a picture. The beauty and beauty are all eye-catching. After admiring it for a while, she said softly:
"Shirley, take a break, come and talk to me."
The ponytailed girl let out an "hey". She put away her wand, picked up the black suitcase on the stool, and trot towards Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall moved her position and motioned for the girl to sit beside her. She asked softly:
"How's your practice going?"
"It's almost possible to turn that pear tree into an oak tree." Shirley said seriously, "But the color of the leaves is still a little lighter..."
"Your speed is already very fast, don't tire yourself too much."
Professor McGonagall, who seldom praises students, is already smiling, and she praised:
"I am at your age, and the level of transfiguration is far inferior to yours."
"No." Shirley stuck out her tongue and said playfully, "I'm far behind you."
Professor McGonagall touched the ponytail girl's head and said with a smile:
"By the way, I'm going to help you apply for the Most Promising Newcomer Award from "Transfiguration Today."
The Most Promising Newcomer Award, an award selected by the academic publication "Transfiguration Today", will be awarded to those young wizards who have demonstrated amazing Transfiguration abilities.
Most of the wizards who have won this award will become masters of transfiguration in the future, such as Professor McGonagall himself.
Shirley said a little self-consciously: "Can I do it?"
"Of course, I won this award in the fifth grade." McGonagall said confidently: "With your current level of transfiguration, it is more than enough to win the award."
Shirley nodded slightly.
Professor McGonagall looked at the well-behaved girl and sighed:
"I'll take you back to school later. Today is the Quidditch final. What are you doing here with me, an old lady? You should go watch the game with your friends..."
"I know you're in a bad mood, so I'm here to accompany you." Shirley smiled softly.
Mag sighed, she was indeed in a bad mood.
Although the Gryffindor Quidditch team reached the final, four players were suspended for fighting with Slytherin students.
They didn't even have a substitute. If it wasn't for Wood's temporary selection of a few students, they wouldn't even have the number of players for the competition... It would be strange if they could win!
Of course, the Hufflepuff Quidditch team had given up on Rove, but the Badger Court still had a huge advantage, and it would be a bloodbath.
Gryffindor has gone seven years without a crown, and this year will be the eighth.
Although Professor McGonagall was used to being disappointed again and again, she didn't want to watch the tragedy live...it was too cruel for an elderly person.
Therefore, although it was the final of Gryffindor, Professor McGonagall did not go to watch the game, but returned to his home in Hogsmeade.
Shirley also came over to accompany her.
"Is there no player you want to see?" Mag looked at the girl and joked with a smile: "If Rove participated in the competition, you would definitely not come to accompany me today."
The girl with ponytail gently hugged the old man's hand in her arms, she smiled like a baby and said:
"No way, Professor McGonagall, I just don't like watching Quidditch matches."
Professor McGonagall smiled, she hesitated, and asked in a low voice:
"How many days has Rove been away? Has it been a month?"
Xue Li looked down at her toes and said softly, "It's been thirty-four days."
Professor McGonagall sighed softly, squeezed out a smiling face and comforted: "Rove will definitely come back safely, don't worry."
The ponytail girl nodded, but said nothing.
Professor McGonagall looked at Shirley, who looked a little depressed, her eyes were full of distress and pity, and she couldn't help complaining about Dumbledore in her heart.
What a fool!
How can Rove use the time-turner to go back to Halloween last year? Can’t he go to such a dangerous thing by himself? What are the long legs for? !
If something really happened to Rove, she would never end with Dumbledore!
Shirley sat on the bench, holding the black box in her arms, staring into the distance blankly. She wasn't that worried about Rove's safety. He promised that he would come back, and he would definitely come back.
However, he clearly promised to come back early, but he... was late.
The girl with the ponytail rested her cheeks on her hands and began to miss him.
...
...
in the kitchen,
After some temptation, Rove still firmly rejected him, and Hufflepuff did not show disappointment, but smiled with satisfaction.
"Rofe, when I was in Rowena's office, I saw you through her crystal ball.
I was wondering which house you would be from... I thought about the other three houses, but I didn't think you would be a Hufflepuff. "
"So, when you told me that you were a student of my college, I was very surprised, and even thought that the Sorting Hat might have made a mistake."
Hufflepuff stared at the boy, she smiled and said, "But now I probably understand why you came to my academy."
"So, you actually know how to get me back?" Rove asked.
"Why do you think so?" Hufflepuff narrowed his eyes.
"You are Helga Hufflepuff." Rove said softly: "In our time, you were called the Big Four. I always thought...the Big Four were omnipotent."
"Boy, stop flattering me." Hufflepuff smiled and said, "Gryffindor will eat you, but not me, but..."
"I do know how to solve your little problem."
"How to solve it?" Rove hurriedly asked.
"Your trouble is nothing more than that your body will suddenly age after you go back." Hufflepuff said seriously: "Then you will not age, and you will be young forever."
Such seemingly nonsense, but Luo Fu was thoughtful, and he blurted out: "Stone of Destiny?"
"That's right, it's that stone." Hufflepuff nodded.
The Stone of Destiny is a stone used in the coronation of ancient Scottish kings.
Rove had heard from Nico many times that it was an alchemy item with similar effects to the Sorcerer's Stone, which could brew a fountain of youth and restore youth to the body.
That Stone of Destiny has been recorded in history.
During the Scottish Anti-British War, Edward I, the long-legged king, took away the "Stone of Destiny" that symbolized the Scottish kingship, and brought it back to London as a spoil of war.
Edward I also ordered that the stone be inlaid on a finely carved high-backed oak chair as a symbol of the occupation of Scotland. The chair is the famous "King Edward's Chair".
But Nicole has verified that the Stone of Destiny that Edward I took away was not the real Stone of Destiny, and it had been lost before him.
And now it is more than two hundred years earlier than Edward I, and that stone should still be in Scotland.
Rove raised his head excitedly, but Hufflepuff seemed to know what he was thinking, she shook her head and said:
"The Stone of Destiny is not in Scotland. It was snatched away by goblins more than a hundred years ago."
"Fairy?" Rove asked in surprise.
"Yes, goblin!" Hufflepuff said softly: "But it's hard to know exactly where, you know... goblins are very good at hiding treasures.
They bury their gold deep in the ground, where dangerous magical creatures guard it. "
"..."
Hufflepuff doesn't know either, so after talking for a long time, it's like not saying anything.
After Rove talked, he stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the sky.
He suddenly remembered that on the night of Halloween, Trelawney sold him a package, saying that it was an heirloom left by his great-great-grandmother, and that he should not open it unless it was absolutely necessary.
Rove thought to himself, now must be the last resort, he quickly took out the shrinking package from his pocket, and restored it to its original state.
Rove asked Hufflepuff to open the package, while he himself hid far away, in case he was affected in case of danger.
Hufflepuff opened the package with a solemn expression. She looked at it for a moment, looked at Rove with strange eyes, raised her eyebrows and said, "This is the treasure you brought back?"
After Rove approached, he looked at the books, twitched the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help cursing:
"Trelawney, I call you great-great-grandmother!"
