Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 2508: Minerva’s past

, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the book of evil in Harry Potter!

Many people know that Minerva McGonagall, a strict and excellent professor of transfiguration and today's headmistress, worked in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the British Ministry of Magic for two years before joining Hogwarts. .

There, the young Minerva met Elphinstone Elcott, who was her immediate boss at the time, and after experiencing the unremitting pursuit and silent waiting of the other party for more than 20 years, Finally got married.

This marriage was actually quite short, because Elcott, who had retired from the Ministry of Magic at the time, had been bitten by a poisonous tentacles after being bitten by a poisoned tentacles after living with Minerva for less than three years. Died. After that, Minerva moved back to Hogwarts Castle and decided to devote the rest of her life to her teaching career.

It’s just that few people know why Minerva, who should have always liked Elcott, an old colleague and boss, refused her marriage proposal time and time again during those years. This was supposed to be a happy and long-lasting marriage postponed for more than 20 years, so that both parties did not get a good ending...

In the bar, Aberforth, who was carelessly wiping the goblet, glanced at the two people who were talking—he didn’t listen to Minerva’s conversation with each other, but the two of them were talking specifically What he could guess.

Because he is one of the few people who knows the secret.

Aberforth and Elcott knew each other.

I can’t say how familiar, but in the first few years when Minerva rejected a great opportunity for promotion and resigned from the Ministry of Magic and chose to return to school, Elcott always ran away whenever she took a vacation. Drink a few drinks at the pig’s head bar in Hogsmeade—this is the little man who does his job swiftly, but always looks a little clumsy outside of work, especially when facing beautiful women. He even Don't dare to go to the obviously more lively Three Broomsticks bar, for fear that meeting Minerva there will make the other person feel too annoying.

After going back and forth, Elcott and Aberforth knew each other well, and Aberforth also learned from Elcott, who occasionally drank slightly, that he had always loved it. That Minerva McGonagall, the junior in the workplace whom her brother often praises, seems to have someone she likes.

Only in the eyes of outsiders like Aberforth, Elcott is not as "cheeky and wishful thinking" as he himself always nagging when he gets drunk... That usually somewhat silly little Men, it's just a little bit late in Minerva's life, nothing more.

Perhaps Elcott actually understands this, so he has been waiting silently, never giving up.

Sure enough, at nightfall one day, Elcott, who had already retired from the Ministry of Magic, reappeared at the Pig's Head Bar, and went to invite Aberforth to his wedding with a red face—he I probably drank several glasses before going out!

The following night, Elcott was drunk in front of the bar.

It was also that night that Aberforth finally heard clearly from Elcott the man who was said to be Minerva's first love and who was once engaged.

I heard Elcott said that he lived in Caithness, Scotland. The son of a farmer named "Dugor McGregor" was a Muggle.

He heard Elcott also say that although Minerva loved the man, she could not tell him that she was a witch. Because Minerva, who had just graduated from Hogwarts and joined the Ministry of Magic at the time, suddenly realized that if she accepted the other party’s proposal, she had to abide by the "International Secrecy Law" and lock her wand and lose her job at the Ministry of Magic. , And let go of all your ideals and goals.

And that kind of life...obviously is not acceptable to the young and ambitious Minerva.

So Minerva finally rejected Dugor's proposal and left the other party. Even though the other party sent a lot of letters to Minerva later-in order to prevent the other party from waiting unnecessarily, Minerva never agreed.

However, this emotion that was wiped out by her own hands eventually left an unhealable wound in Minerva's heart, and even affected her views on the Ministry of Magic’s work and the many regulations of the International Secrecy Act. , Which directly led to her leaving the Ministry of Magic.

It wasn't until three days before Elcott went to the Pig's Head Bar to drunk and confided in the night, when the son of a farmer named Dugor passed away, Minerva's long and rugged first love finally came to an end.

"...I've seen the guy named Dugor secretly several times. He is indeed a good man, and even I have to admit it. It's just...he's living happily--the kid Later, she married the daughter of a local farmer and gave birth to a daughter... It just suffered Minerva! She just can't let go... just can't let go..."

These are the last words Elcott said that night before he was completely drunk.

"It's not the same for your kid!"

At that time, Aberforth looked at the little man who was lying down on the bar and shook his head, and replied grimly, but the little man who was already drunk obviously couldn't hear it anymore.

"I just didn't expect that after a low-key wedding with few people attended, only a few years later, it would be a funeral. If I say, the most pitiful one has always been that little man."

I heard a few words like "poor" coming from there~ IndoMTL.com~ Aberforth shook his head secretly-although he knew that McGonagall was definitely not the same thing, but That obviously has nothing to do with him. He just remembered for a moment the poor little man who always came to his own bar, sat in front of the window that was almost the same place, and looked at Hogwarts Castle and pouring himself.

Among the guests who come and go in the pig's head bar with some unscrupulous things, Elcott is probably one of his few old friends for so many years.

"...Miss McGonagall, I don’t know much about magic, and I only know you in the magic world. So, for Dugor’s sake, my poor grandson still I have to ask you...please!"

When Aberforth was at the bar thinking about the past, there were tears in the eyes of the old Muggle woman sitting across from McGonagall at the small round table in front of the window.

"Don’t worry, don’t worry! The Blois therapists are the best magicians in France, and they will do their best to treat the children—whether they are wizards or ordinary people, it’s the same! Waiting for my side to deal with things. After that, I will take the child over, so don’t worry!"

Meg looked at each other and said seriously.
