Marge Under the Blood Curse

December 4, 1992.

Two or three days have passed since the incident with the pillar of light.

Tomorrow is a day off.

Devonshire, Autry St Bor village, the Burrow, in the garden.

In the evening, two red-haired figures sat cross-legged on two perfectly rounded stones.

"How was your day at school?" Ron tore off a crumb of bread and threw it into the grass. He watched the Gnome cautiously stretch out its calloused little hand, seemingly rubbing it haphazardly on the ground. After picking up the crumb, it quickly pulled it back.

Rupert was also watching the Gnome. "Snape was very good to Harry. He didn't target Gryffindor either. But Ron..."

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

He wasn't surprised by Snape's attitude; Harry's mother had also been resurrected in this world, so Snape was perfectly normal.

He was very concerned about himself in this world.

He had learned from Rupert that in this world, he was a model student, just like Percy, who was very self-disciplined.

"He's suddenly become lazy," Rupert said. "He didn't even go to the library today, slept in, and almost missed his Herbology."

"As expected." Ron smiled smugly. "He's definitely only enthusiastic for a short time these past few days. He must know that another Hogwarts is about to appear and wants to perform better."

On December 6th, which is two days from now, the countdown on the live streaming platform will reach zero, and the passage between the two worlds will open.

However, for Ron right now, the most important thing is watching the movie tomorrow.

He was busy finishing his Potions Class homework today and didn't go to Hogwarts.

"Rupert, have you finished talking with Neville and the others? What time should we go to the Headmaster's Office tomorrow?"

Rupert nodded. "Tomorrow at 10 a. m. We can finish watching the third part and have lunch right away. Then we can continue. But the location will be different— the Pensieve has been moved to the staff lounge behind the Great Hall."

"Besides--"

"What else?" Ron asked, puzzled.

"Harry and Ron will join in too, in this world," Rupert said.

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

A group of goblins, shaped like potatoes Gnome, swarmed toward the bread.

Ron ignored them, lost in the joy and anticipation of meeting another version of himself, especially another Harry.

9:50 a. m.

"Is this the faculty lounge?" Ron stepped out from the green fire. "I've never been here before, neither in any world."

He did not start a live stream.

The live stream has been started by Neville in this room.

Right now, Neville and Draco are sitting quietly on the black wooden chairs.

Not far away, Draco of this world was chatting with his friends Ron and Harry.

"I never imagined that even Squib could wield the power of light. Filch could even cast spells with it." Draco was somewhat doubtful of life.

(The viewers in front of the live Squib weren't too excited; they had already become wizards through [Magic Fiber].)

"I was wondering why he was smiling at everyone he saw today. I thought he'd been hit by some kind of Confundus Charm," Ron said, suddenly realizing.

"That's a good thing. Maybe we can have Muggle with magic, just like in another world," Harry said cheerfully. "Then we won't have to hide it during summer vacation anymore. We'll all be wizards."

(Dumbledore thought Harry's idea was a bit too naive.)

(With Phoebe's powers, she could actually create [Magic Fiber] for Muggle worldwide. But she didn't because the actual process wasn't as simple as it seemed.)

"They all possess magic?" Rupert had just stepped out of the fireplace, overheard Harry's words. "That might not be a good thing. At the very least, managing over seven billion wizards would be a huge problem. And then there's the supply of resources they'd need once they entered the magical world—like wands."

"I suggest starting with the Muggle-born wizard's family and relatives."

"Next up are the upper echelons of Muggle society."

"The army and the police."

"Then there are the Muggle around the wizarding families' residences."

"We'll consider turning all of humanity into wizards as a last resort."

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

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

"According to experimental statistics, it is much more difficult for Muggle to comprehend the power of light than for Squib and Wizards."

"It is worth mentioning that those who love nature and have a pure Mind Stone are more likely to grasp the power of light."

In fact, the power of darkness, the kind of power that Gellert received in the basement, is more suitable for promotion, just like Dark Magic is easier to learn.

Most people in the world are ordinary people, adrift in the mundane world, swept along by the currents of life.

Everyone has a dark side, more or less.

It is easier to become bad, that is, to master the power of darkness, than to become good.

However, he has no intention of promoting this power.

This power is not evil, but not everyone can control their desires well and avoid being consumed by their dark side.

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

Dumbledore habitually drew his wand and waved it toward the Pensieve.

"It's so dark, the color tone of this movie is a bit off." Ron, who had seen the first two movies, wasn't used to it.

"But," Harry, somewhat puzzled, looking at himself reading a book under the covers using Lumos, "Is it possible to cast spells at home?"

"Our world's laws are a little different from yours," said Draco the Tall. "In terms of the definition of casting spells in front of Muggle. To be precise, a little spell like the Lumos Charm doesn't count as casting spells; Muggle can do that with magic."

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

Looking at the woman who appeared in the room and the bulldog she was leading, he thought, "This must be Aunt Marge from this world."

That bossy attitude, it can only be her.

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

It was just that the people around him insisted that he call her that.

Harry's memories of her are all negative.

He would beat Harry's calves with his cane just to prevent him from beating Dudley in the musical costume game; he would give Harry dog biscuits as a Christmas present; he would let the dog chase him up a tree until midnight before calling the dog back into the house, and he would often make fun of it.

However, even though he had expected it, he was still furious when he heard the voice coming from the Pensieve.

"It's not his father's fault, it's his mother's. If the mother dog has a problem, the puppies will definitely have a problem too," Aunt Marge said after mocking Harry's father for being an alcoholic.

("James is not a drunkard!" Sirius stretched his neck, turning into a big black dog, and barked angrily.)

(He was unaware that the novel actually went even further—portraying him as a worthless, useless, and lazy beggar.)

(Otherwise, he would definitely be like Snape.)

(It was as if a blower had been plugged into Snape's black robes, and everything in the room was assaulted by the whirlwind of his anger. "How dare you?")

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

("Severus." Lily arrived a step too late.)

(She was late because she was grieving that Petunia had ignored everything.)

(Snape's black figure was intercepted in front of Number Four, Privet Drive.)

(It's Dumbledore, "Calm down, Severus.")

I saw that Aunt Marge's body was swollen, as if she had turned into a balloon.

"Well done!" Ron, Draco, and Neville exclaimed in unison.

Harry was a little disappointed that he couldn't experience it in real life.

Since his mother was resurrected, he no longer needed to go to Number Four, Privet Drive.

This summer, he plans to spend time at the Potter House in Godric's Hollow, which has been renovated.

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

Rather, it was a curse that Marge Vernon had recently suffered.

He knew it came from Snape.

They are also willing to turn a blind eye.

But this curse was too vicious, similar to Blood Curse that did not shorten lifespan or completely destroy humanity. Every day, she would grow a dog's head and had a particular fondness for eating excrement.

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

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

(Lily, who also arrived at Privet Drive, said, "Stop! Listen. Maybe this is just a movie made up, and Marge didn't say that about me.")

(Snape then put down his wand.)

(In the room at Number Four, Privet Drive, Petunia comforts her trembling husband and son, "That's Snape, my childhood neighbor, Lily's friend. You don't need to worry.")

"This big dog is actually Sirius."

"This bus is not a special effect, but an actual building."

(Stan Shunpike shouts in the Leaky Cauldron, "Look, this is me.")

Eddie Redmayne, who plays Newt Scamander, also interviewed for the role of the train conductor.

(Shunpike became even more excited, "It's no use hearing that, Scamander! I'd definitely be a famous actor in that world, I have that potential.")

"At this point in the novel, Harry refers to himself as Neville."

Neville ignored Rupert's words. His face was pale as he pointed to the shriveled head with black dreadlocks hanging in front of the windshield. "What's with this head? It can even talk."

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

"That's not important," said Ron, the novelist. "The point is, why did this Knight Bus have to stop and yield to pedestrians? It should be able to automatically avoid obstacles in front of it, shouldn't it?"

"However, it's quite interesting that stepping on the brakes can slow down the surrounding time, and the car can also compress time."

(Ernie Plan, the driver of Knight Bus, thought longingly, "Wouldn't that mean I wouldn't have to look at the road while driving?")

"Wouldn't that mean we wouldn't need to watch where we're going?" said Ron from the movie. "If our world could be like that, I'd definitely become a driver someday."

"Hey, Fudge." Seeing the figure appear on the screen, the longing on Movie Ron's face vanished instantly. "He looks like a good guy now, doesn't he?"

("Those were the good old days." Fudge, ragged and alone in Azkaban, looked enviously at his own triumphant self on the screen.)

("I am your godfather." Sirius shouted as he heard Harry on the screen ask him what his relationship with Sirius was.)

("This is outrageous! The Minister for Magic even booked a room for him at the Leaky Cauldron in advance." - A spectator, secretly displeased with Harry's high-level treatment.)

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

This Tom was not only hunchbacked, but also looked too much like the Tom after his magical Transfiguration. He also seemed unfriendly to Harry, judging from the way he pulled Harry's chair away.

Rupert continued his 'work,' explaining, 'This biting book is actually the textbook Hagrid chose— the Monster Book of Monsters.'

"Hagrid? The professor of the Care of Magical Creatures Class?" Harry and Ron exchanged surprised glances.

Tall Draco nodded. "That's right, only he would choose textbooks like this."

Short Draco frowned. "Is this book even readable? There are scraps of paper all over the floor."

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

"Scabbers ~" x2

Ron the movie and the novel versions of Ron characters looking like they're about to vomit.

Ron from the novel didn't even bother to look at Hermione in the movie, or what the Weasley family like.

("Arthur!" Mrs. Weasley was furious because Arthur in the movie had given Harry detailed information about Sirius. "So you were the one who told him this! He's still a child! If Sirius wasn't a good person, Harry— )

In the movie, Ron makes a disgusted face, saying, "If only Mom hadn't forgotten to hand Scabbers to me back then. I touched Scabbers' belly countless times along the way. And it seemed to enjoy it. It was disgusting."

(Sirius had an even richer imagination; he had already pictured Peter's face beaming with pleasure as he enjoyed Ron's caresses, and he immediately spat it out.)

"This is Dementor appearing," Rupert said.

Dumbledore looked on with curiosity. "The Dementor in your world are really interesting, they can even bring low temperatures. But even now, I'm still very curious. If Lupin hadn't intervened, the Dementor would have almost sucked Harry's soul away. After that, I would have held Fudge and stopped the Dementor from wandering around Hogwarts."

The scene has now shifted to the Great Hall.

(Professor Flitwick looked curiously at the small figure conducting the choir singing while holding Toad in the Great Hall; in his memory, this was him. According to Rupert, however, it was actually another character played by the same actor.)

"One of them is Trevor," Neville said with a hint of pride.

"That's a really good song," Ron said. "If Neville knew, he would be very happy that his Trevor could come in such a useful way."

Rupert explained, "Actually, this is Prophecy. The lyrics can be interpreted as Voldemort's resurrection in the cauldron. It's the director's wicked sense of humor. Because of Scabbers 'Peter escape, Voldemort gets a chance to make a comeback."

"And," he pointed to Draco in the picture, mocking Harry for fainting, "Draco actually almost wet his pants in the novel and ran to Fred and George's box, trembling with fear."

Short Draco frowned. "Our world has Basil, but it's not exactly the same as in the novel. I'm certainly not that cowardly either."

Tall Draco, however, was curious. "It makes sense for Potter to faint in our world, almost having his soul sucked by Dementor, but what about the Novel World?"

As he spoke, he looked at the Novel Harry.

The reason for using the prefixes from the movies and novels to distinguish between the two Ron, rather than referring to them as short and tall like Draco.

It's because Ron is young in the novel, but he should be taller.
