25. The Adventures of Mrs. McGonagall [57/100](1/2)
The next morning, Meilin, wearing pajamas, finished washing up and walked to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the children.
The first person to get up was Hermione. This girl had a good life schedule. She greeted Merlin, drank a glass of milk, and took Crook Mountain out for a morning run.
But Hell Kitchen is not very safe, so Merlin sent Gugu to protect Hermione. A Yuan-Devouring Beast and a little wizard would probably not encounter any danger in the Hell Kitchen's territory.
The second person to wake up was Harry.
The sensitive boy probably didn't sleep well because he changed his room. He yawned and came to the kitchen to help Merlin prepare breakfast.
Meilin couldn't help asking:
“Do you cook often at home?”
"Of course, Mr. Merlin."
Harry turned his head and smiled, and he said:
"I made breakfast, lunch and dinner for my uncle's family."
"Oh, they treat you as a servant."
Merlin smiled, and he lit a cigarette, leaned against the edge of the kitchen counter, and chatted with Harry, all life trivial matters.
After 20 minutes, yawning, along with Eric and Ron, almost woke up together. Merlin looked at the dark circles under the eyes of the two guys and knew that they might not have slept much all night.
"Ron, did you sleep well last night?"
Merlin asked intentionally.
Ron replied weakly while holding his hair listlessly:
"I really want to sleep, but the video games are so interesting. I feel like I've only played for a while, but by the time I came to my senses, it was already dawn."
"Merlin, Ron is a real genius!"
Eric, who was brushing his teeth in the bathroom, shouted in disbelief:
"He has never been involved in games. In just a few hours, he became a master like me! The two of us joined forces last night to kill all sides!"
“Eric is so ridiculous.”
Ron seemed a little proud, he said:
"I'm just a little talent."
As he spoke, he subconsciously waved his fingers, and the toothbrush and water cup pushed into his hands like an invisible hand.
As a result, the next moment, Harry, who was preparing a vegetable salad, lowered his voice and shouted to him:
"Ron!"
"Um?"
Ron was also shocked when he looked at the toothbrush and water cup in his hand. He turned his head and Eric was washing his face. He did not see this scene, which made Ron feel relieved.
The descendants of the pure-blooded wizard family like Ron have been exposed to magic since they were born, and letting him live as an ordinary person all at once, which will inevitably be full of problems.
Merlin was mentally prepared for this, but Eric, to be honest, this child had also seen Merlin disappear out of thin air and his own secrets. Even if he knew that his new friend Ron could magic, he would not have run out and talked everywhere in surprise.
"Okay, hurry up and wash up. After dinner, I will take you to Manhattan for a walk. In the afternoon, we will go to your Aunt May's house for dinner."
Soon, the children finished their breakfast, and Hermione, who was running in the morning, returned home. After some preparation, the family got into the nanny car and headed towards the busiest downtown of Manhattan.
About 30 minutes after the family left, a strange guest visited Merlin's house.
A faint flash appeared in Meilin's yard, alarming the orange cat Gugu who was playing with bone toys. As soon as it turned over, it rushed out of its luxurious cat's nest, quietly ran to the window on the second floor, and looked down.
As a result, Gugu discovered something amazing.
A woman wearing a black robe, a green hood and a black pointed hat was carrying a small trolley case and walking out of a weird, light blue energy swirl.
It was an old woman who looked over 50 years old. She was no longer young, with wrinkles on her face, a pair of gold-wisted glasses on her eyes, and a clean silver button at the collar of her green robe, shining faintly in the sun.
The brim of the sharp-horned wizard hat on her head was tilted backwards, looking very much like a witch in a fairy tale.
She is Professor Minerva McGonagall and vice president of Hogwarts School of Magic.
At this time, this witch with profound magical attainments was walking in the small courtyard of the Merlin family in a cautious manner.
The orthodox British witch looked around the environment of Merlin's house and said to herself:
"These Muggles really love to be clean."
As he spoke, Professor McGonagall pulled out his wand from his waist and whispered to the locked glass door in front of him:
“alohora! (Door Opening Mantra)”
With the extremely precise control of magic, the glass door with the lock opened in response.
This scene made the orange cat Gugu, who was hiding on the second floor and peeping at all, show a humanized expression of doubt.
It is not that he has seen Merlin release magic, but the magic he chose is all practical spells. Merlin rarely uses daily spells such as door-opening curse.
This made Gugu interested.
Although it disguised as an orange cat, its nature is a genus devouring beast full of curiosity about the world, coming from among the stars. During his trip with the Kreeman Mar Will, Gugu rarely saw such a strange scene.
This is also why Gugu is willing to stay at Meilin's house. He is very interested in the weird energy used by Meilin.
Gugu secretly climbed down the stairs without making any sound. Its movement alarmed Mount Crook, who was sleeping by the stairs. The ugly cat Crook Mountain looked at Gugu in fear, and Gugu stared at Mount Crook with a warning gaze, and the latter hurriedly shrank his neck.
He looks very cowardly.
Gugu shook his tail, and Cruk Mountain understood Gugu's meaning. Like Gugu, it quietly covered up the sound of its actions, followed Gugu, and walked towards the first floor.
Professor McGonagall, who entered Merlin's room, did not notice the two cats.
She came to North America from England, not for a trip, but for a mission assigned by Principal Dumbledore.
Dumbledore was worried after learning that Mr. Arthur had entrusted Harry to a Demon Walker, the old wizard had seen more than once the trouble caused by the demonic power.
He knew that Merlin brought Harry to the United States and could effectively avoid the hostility of the British Ministry of Magic towards Harry, but he was also worried that Merlin's appearance would have an impact on Harry's life.
Therefore, he commissioned Professor McGonagall to come to the United States and secretly protected Harry and the three little wizards during these 7 days.
Professor McGonagall is a real witch. She is deeply immersed in magic and has strong strength. She is a rare Animagus. She is proficient in transforming techniques and can perfectly disguise herself as a harmless little cat with humans and animals. In theory, her protection will not be discovered by magic beginners like Merlin.
"Swish"
Professor McGonagall waved his wand, and a ray of light swept across Merlin's room. After a moment, the serious Professor McGonagall nodded:
"Well, there are no items related to demons in the room, nor are there any dissipated demonic power. It seems that Merlin can control his own power well, but Arthur is really too reckless."
The witch complained, and she looked around and opened the box she brought and took out several bottles of potions from it.
This potion can effectively isolate the exploration of magic power, and Professor McGonagall plans to use this potion to deal with Merlin's room.
But just as she turned around, she saw two cats squatting behind her.
"Oh, Mount Crook."
Professor McGonagall is a professor at Hogwarts School of Magic. She naturally knew Hermione's pet. After she called out the name of Mount Crook, the ugly cat with fluffy feathers called the professor twice, with a sense of sadness and desolation in her voice.
But Professor McGonagall didn't recognize the other orange cat.
And as a powerful witch, she instinctively felt an indescribable threat from Gugu, as if she had encountered a hidden powerful magic creature.
"what do you?"
Professor McGonagall aimed his wand at Gugu and just asked.
The next moment, Gugu's mouth opened, and two dark red tentacles whizzed out, accurately grasping Professor McGonagall's wand, snatching the wooden stick wrapped around the magic, and then swallowing it into his stomach.
"Meow"
Gugu licked his lips, as if he was savoring the smell of magic, and it called out to Professor McGonagall, with the meaning of unknown.
The witch was frightened.
Although she is not an expert in magical creatures, as a witch, she has read a lot about this, but no matter what magical scriptures she is in, there is no introduction to magical creatures like Gugu.
Especially the two strange tentacles that Gugu opened his mouth just now made Professor McGonagall feel threatened.
She could feel that the cat's belly was like a terrifying black hole, and the connection between herself and the magic wand was completely disconnected at that moment.
“disaparration!(Shape Transfer)”
Professor McGonagall casts spells with empty hands, and his whole body completely disappeared from Merlin's mansion between the twists of light and shadow. When she appeared again, she had already arrived in a park several blocks away from Merlin's mansion.
A mature wizard will not fight an unknown powerful enemy without her preparation. Moreover, it is very unwise to lose her wand and stay in front of that strange creature.
Professor McGonagall brushed his heart. She felt a sense of panic that she had not had for a long time. She calmed herself down and looked around. There were some muggles wandering in the park. In order to avoid trouble, Professor McGonagall silently recited the spell, and her whole body changed rapidly, like a layer of twisting light curtain covering her.
Professor McGonagall took a step forward, and her slender body quickly shrank. In the blink of an eye, she turned into a small cat with black and white patterns. There were patterns on the cat's eyes that looked like eye patterns.
She looked around vigilantly, then licked her paws. She was going to use this disguise to go to Merlin's mansion again to see what the strange creature originated from.
And just as she turned around, a familiar cat moan rang behind her.
Professor McGonagall turned around like a real cat, but in a terrifying way, he saw that the fat orange cat Gugu was rushing out of a small energy tunnel.
The strange cat's face was full of excitement. It pounced on Professor McGonagall, who was caught off guard, and threw the small black and white cat on the ground.
Gugu sniffed the little cat in front of him with his nose. He could feel that the cat in front of him was the strange woman just now, but why did she become a cat?
