Professor McGonagall's Past

Even the prettiest fairy needs to use the restroom and has smelly feet. But their Christmas is often like the moon among the stars—fun and lively.

Ryan, on the other hand, was left behind at Hogwarts, sharing a dormitory with two young wizards who were almost as close as Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

As a perfect, dreamy handsome guy who only eats and drinks and doesn't poop, Ryan felt really pissed.

Although as long as Ryan lets his presence out of the box, just like during the Sorting Ceremony, with just a snap of Ryan fingers, this Christmas can be as lively and raunchy as Ryan wants.

But as an outstanding Young Pioneer from the 21st century, a successor of the nation wearing a red scarf, his education and moral standards did not allow him to do that.

So Ryan went to the Great Hall and watched the Weasley Twins, who had run to the Ravenclaw table, changed into blue Weasley sweaters, and used Weasley sweaters to cover their brother and pull him over, to pass the time.

"Merry Christmas!"

"Hey, look— Harry got a Weasley sweater too!" Fred and George said separately.

"Harry's is better than ours," Fred said, reaching out to touch Harry's sweater. "Clearly, Mother is more attentive to those who aren't family."

"Hey Ron, yours is dark magenta." Fred then turned to look at his brother, while George complained, "Our model student Percy only agreed to wear it after we explained that the 'p' on his sweater meant the Prefect."

"He still wants to sit with the Prefect today."

"Christmas is a time for family reunions," Fred and George said in unison.

However, Ryan looked at Percy, whose glasses were askew and whose arms were bound by a Percy and unable to move, and was a little suspicious. Harry and Ron, standing to the side, also looked at each other, unsure whether to believe this obvious lie.

This "willingness" should probably be put in quotation marks.

Ryan clearly noticed that Fred and George had deliberately switched clothes; Fred's sweater had a "g" on it, George's had an "f," but Ron didn't notice at all.

Even Harry noticed something from the order in which they were speaking, Percy glanced at their sweaters more than once. Ryan couldn't help but wonder if Ron had hit his head when he was a child, causing his mind to be sometimes sharp and sometimes dull.

When talking about Christmas, one cannot help but mention turkey.

The banquet in front of him could be considered luxurious in Ryan's eyes.

One hundred plump roasted turkeys, mountains of roasted meat and boiled potatoes, platters of delicious sausages, bowls of peas mixed with butter, and dishes of thick, rich meat sauce and cranberry sauce—every few steps from the table, there are piles of wizard-themed firecrackers waiting for you.

The contents of these firecrackers were quite interesting. After Ryan opened the firecracker, a hamster appeared in front of Ryan amidst a cloud of blue smoke that engulfed him.

"Oh my, little thing." Ryan exclaimed in surprise, and then took out a hamster cage that Ryan controlled the main god to make on the spot. The bottom was filled with hay, a delicate little ladder, a flywheel, a water bottle, and freshly put food.

"I'll call you Hamster Wheel PhD!" Ryan enthusiastically stuffed the little thing inside and placed it in a corner of Smith Castle, asking Jack to look after it.

At the same time, he finally remembered Jerry, a tiny black cat the size of a palm, who shared the same surname as Jack.

Ryan carried it from the castle to prevent Hamster Wheel PhD from suffering an unfortunate fate.

The sound of a motorcycle engine starting up kept coming from inside this dark little thing.

Having not met face-to-face for so long, he would touch Jerry every day after meals when he remembered, but Jerry was still very affectionate. He familiarly stuffed his little head into Ryan's pocket and went back to sleep.

Hamster Wheel PhD has a bright future ahead of him, but his relatives are probably having a bad time. Just a moment ago, several lively little white mice that had just emerged from firecrackers in front of Harry disappeared in the blink of an eye.

It's obvious that Mrs. Norris has taken care of it. Ryan is kind-hearted and can't stand seeing these things, so he didn't check their whereabouts carefully, but it's probably true.

Harry noticed this too, which made him completely lose interest in wearing the naval admiral's hat that looked like it had popped out of a firecracker.

At the banquet, everyone let loose. Dumbledore didn't hide anything anymore and simply transformed his hat into a flower-adorned lady's hat. Hagrid, drunk, kissed Professor McGonagall on the cheek. Professor McGonagall giggled, blushing, and her top black hat tilted to one side.

McGonagall's behavior reminded Ryan of some interesting information he had recently discovered: Professor McGonagall was actually married!

She married her former boss Elphinstone Elcott, from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and they had their own house in Hogsmeade. However, after Elphinstone was bitten by Venomous Tentacula and died unexpectedly, she never went back to live there and stayed in her study on the second floor of Hogwarts Castle.

What surprised Ryan even more was that Professor McGonagall had two brothers who were also wizards, as well as nephews and nieces. Fortunately, she did not have a son named Fish McGonagall.

Otherwise, Fish McGonagall's passive ability as a time traveler, Ryan would probably be in for a bit of trouble too.

Ryan couldn't help but feel sorry for the wizard named Elphinstone. Hagrid had always been single; could it also be related to Professor McGonagall?

According to the information Ryan found, Professor McGonagall's favorite person was probably her first love, a Muggle named Dougal McGonagall from her family's farm.

However, due to her work at the Ministry of Magic, Professor McGonagall had to reluctantly break off her engagement with her first love.

At that time, the Britain Wizarding World was as conservative as the America. If a wizard wanted to marry Muggle and live in the Muggle world, it meant locking up his wand, leaving the Wizarding World, and not even telling his lover that he was a wizard, otherwise he would be violating the International Statute of Secrecy, unless they had a child who was also a wizard.

However, in Britain, this only applies to Ministry of Magic employees. If they are caught, they will lose Ministry of Magic jobs. Other wizards can ignore the rules as long as they don't care about the fines.

You can even convince your lover to come to the magical world with you, and you won't even have to pay a fine.

Elphinstone relentlessly proposed to McGonagall after her breakup with McGonagall first love. Professor McGonagall refused until she received news of his death, at which point Professor McGonagall accepted his proposal.

After getting married, Professor McGonagall surprisingly kept her own surname instead of taking the same surname as her husband, which was unbelievable in the wizarding world at the time, especially since "McGonagall" was the surname of Professor McGonagall's Muggle father.

"Poor Elphinstone," Ryan thought, taking a sip of Pumpkin Juice.
