Chapter 117: Détente

The next day, Xie An still couldn't recover from Luna's kiss, time seemed to change from eternity to instant, and whenever Xie An tried to cut off Luna's soft and real feeling, there was always a strange sense of emptiness instead of the pain of the end, which made Xie An even more sad. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Ministry of Magic took every conceivable measure it could think of to stop the spread of news of the Death Eaters' frontal attack. Dumbledore didn't show up at Hogwarts for several days, and the Aurors, who had been placed in Hogsmeade Village, were gone. The Ministry of Magic looked at the entire magical world in horror, as if the Death Eaters could take over the core of the entire magical world at any time the next night.

Fortunately, there are still many wizards who don't care too much about these things, such as Gellert Grindelwald on the other side of the Channel, the previous generation of Dark Lords is frantically nurturing the destruction of this world from the terrible fusion of Muggle technology and dark magic, and Andrew Lee's father, the representative of the emerging power of the wizarding world, Earl Lee, is discussing the future of Canary Harbor with the Muggle Prime Minister with great interest.

For some reason, the management of Hogwarts School has been somewhat relaxed. Shea could easily go outside the castle when there was no class and continue his research on the six-page book. After thousands of failures, Xie An realized that he had made a mistake somewhere unknown, which was the saddest thing. You want to turn a stone into gold with an idea, and you have an initial solution, but it doesn't work, and then you improve it, and after thousands of versions, it still doesn't work, then maybe you're making a mistake in something you don't know.

Such mistakes are hard to fix, and Shea needs Hermione Granger's help.

Hermione didn't know anything about what Shea had been thinking about, and she was now in a very subtle sense of luck, when Hermione was more kind and sympathetic, and she even began to care about the elves that the wizards turned a blind eye to, and Hermione complained about the hard-working elves.

"Hermione, you really don't have any impression of this magic material?" Xie An looked at Hermione with suspicion, and Hermione rejected Xie An's question, she said that she had no impression of a potion material.

"Well, Andy, I'm not impressed, I'm sure. Hermione had a strange smile on her face, a little silly, but she was happy.

Xie An took out his poplar staff and tried to cast a few detection spells on Hermione.

"What are you doing, Andy, what are you waving your wand at me?" Hermione gave Shea strange look.

"I'm just checking to see if you've been caught in the Imperius Curse, you know, the Imperius Curse..."

"The Imperius Curse makes people look silly, am I stupid now?" Hermione leaked out dangerously white teeth, making Shayne feel that Hermione, despite being cute, was a little strange.

Before Xie An could answer, Hermione suddenly laughed again, and continued, "Maybe it's right, some things do make people stupid. ”

Xie An resisted the urge to aim his poplar staff directly at Hermione, and then cast a few more complex detection spells, he said to Hermione: "Okay, maybe you suddenly discovered yourself today, maybe you were actually another wizard who drank the polyjuice potion, and now I don't care about any of this, Hermione, I need you to help me improve this recipe, I need some medium that can keep the magic flowing steadily and consistently, you see..." Shea tried to throw her magic array into Hermione's attention, but apparently failed, Hermione didn't listen to what Shea was saying, she looked intently at a --- uh, "Huanzhu Gege" - what kind of book is this? Could it be some powerful wizard's autobiographical notes, but I didn't hear that wizard claimed to be Gege, could it be a witch from the Far East. The powerful Oriental witches have always been considered to be ghost foxes or queen mothers, and these wizards have been throughout the history of the Far East from beginning to end.

Shea tried to snatch the book from Hermione's hand, but Hermione spotted Shea's intentions with the peripheral vision of her eyes, and she turned sideways in time to leave the back of her head to Shea.

"Hermione, the research I'm doing is very important, it may be related to the lives of many wizards, as long as we can manipulate objects through magic, with some transfiguration skills, we may change the world, you see, as long as I can get a suitable and stable magic channel, I can directly transform this thing, automatic..."

Just as Shea was considering whether to take something special, Luna and Neville walked into the hall together, and the two of them talked in a low voice, walking towards this side.

Xie An couldn't help but think of something again, and then forced himself to focus on the notes in front of him.

Luna and Neville sat on the other side of Shayne so that Shayne could not pretend that he didn't notice Luna, and Luna said directly to Shay, "I'm worried about Harry Potter's state, Andrew, I think you have to listen to Neville describe what he saw." ”

Xie An didn't look up, still looking down at his notes, more than a thousand failed notes, Hermione's body stiffened.

"Neville, tell me what you saw. Luna said to Neville.

"Well, that night, I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and I found that Harry Potter's bed was empty, it was empty, I didn't realize what was going on at first, I thought Harry had gone to the toilet too, and when I came out of the dormitory toilet, I found that Harry was not in the bathroom. During this time, the school was very strict, and all students were strictly forbidden to leave the dormitory after sleeping, and I thought there might be something wrong with Harry Potter. At first, I wanted to report the matter to the professor, but then I thought that Harry Potter might have been taken away by the professor, after all, no student can escape the professor's list. ”

"I waited for three or four hours until I felt like I couldn't bear to sleep anymore, when suddenly the door to the dormitory opened automatically, and I felt something enter the dormitory, but I couldn't see anything, not even the outline of a shadow. The light was a little dim and I didn't turn on the lights, but I was surprised to see that someone seemed to be lying on Harry Potter's bed, and then I realized that Harry Potter had used an invisibility spell on himself, and he had been out for a long time in the middle of the night! I hurriedly got up and lit the light, and found Harry Potter lying in bed again, I ran to Harry Potter's bed, I wanted to talk to him, I wanted to ask him what he was doing, but Harry Potter obviously didn't want to talk to me, he turned his head, his eyes were red and looked at me, it seemed that he regarded me as an enemy of Slytherin, I didn't dare to ask, and went straight back to his bed. ”

"I don't think Harry is in a normal state, it's been going on for days, in the middle of the night, Harry disappears for no reason, and then comes back at dawn, I think Harry Potter seems to be controlled by something. Neville Longbottom's voice grew lower, his tone of concern growing heavier.

The pencil shook unconsciously in Shay-An's hand, and when Shea heard that Harry Potter had mastered the invisibility spell, Shay-An didn't look up until Longbottom finished talking about the whole thing, and he didn't seem to pay any attention to it at all.

"When, was it four days ago, the day the newspaper reported on the attack on the Ministry of Magic?" Hermione turned completely, her attention fully focused as Longbottom began to speak. Hermione was normal at this time.

"Yes, that day, I remember Harry reading the Daily Prophet for a long time, and it also had the score of the Quidditch game, the Celtics won the Artillery by a big margin, and Ron borrowed the newspaper from Harry to read the game report, but Harry strangely refused. Longbottom thought for a moment and said.

Hermione's eyes showed a hint of anxiety, and she subconsciously turned her gaze to Shea, who was still sculpturally attentive to her notebook, seemingly unconcerned about everything outside.

"Harry asked me some strange questions that day, about the time converter, and he seemed to care a lot about what the time turner does. Hermione looked at Luna and Longbottom through Shayne and whispered.

"What is that?" asked Luna, confused.

Many wizards didn't know about this powerful prop of magical time rewind, even Xie An hadn't paid so much attention to this terrifying prop before. The secrets of time travel are too difficult to understand, even for wizards. From what Hermione knew, the wizards still didn't know who made the time-rewind device, how it worked, and what kind of spell worked in such an item. The only thing known is that most of the existing time converters are kept in the Ministry of Magic, and legend has it that there is a room in the Ministry of Magic, right next to the Doom Room, that is reserved for time.

"Well, it's an amazing prop. At Professor McGonagall's request, Hermione couldn't talk about it, at least not with every student, and she wanted to tell Luna directly, but she didn't want to warn Luna about it in Contradiction.

Luna looked at Shay An strangely, waiting for Xie An's answer, Xie An drew some lines of different lengths in his notebook with a pencil, and then said, "Hermione, I think we can spend an interesting evening with Harry Potter tonight." ”

Hermione thought for a moment before nodding.

Harry Potter was a little surprised to receive Hermione's invitation, his eyes were bloodshot, which made Hermione even more worried, Harry Potter seemed to want to refuse, but Hermione said to Harry Potter in a very sincere tone before Harry said the words of refusal: "As a friend, please come." The terrible principles that Harry Potter had just established were instantly forgotten, but the boy's pride still made him nod his head slightly.

In the evening, after all the Hogwarts schools had rested, Shea and Luna waited quietly in a hallway south of the castle.

"Feige won't find out about us, and besides, will the list of prefects—" Luna said with some concern.

"I've taught Hermione the anti-location spell, the anti-surveillance spell, the anti-tracking spell, and I don't think it's going to be a problem. Xie An said softly.

"Isn't it unsafe to stand here, I've heard that Feige's cat has a special ability to find students wandering around. Luna was still a little worried, after all, she didn't wander around the castle so blatantly every day.

"This hallway doesn't lead anywhere, and it's a dead end at the end, which is good for covering the entrance with magic, and as long as the spell doesn't fail, professors and prefects will only see the wall when they pass through it. Xie An explained.

Luna looked at the darkness on the other side a little nervously, she couldn't see anything, fortunately Andrew Lee was by her side, and after waiting in the dark for a few more minutes, Luna felt something lingering at the entrance of the corridor, and then heard the voices of two boys: "Hey, Andrew is talking about this place, strange, there is a corridor here during the day, how did it become a wall at night." ”

"No, Fred, I'm pretty sure there was originally a corridor here, could it be that this corridor will disappear over time, like that magical room, only at certain times?"

"George, don't be stupid, there is only one truth, that is, Andrew used magic to create a wall here, so that we think this place has become a wall, otherwise why does Andrew have to go to that corridor, can we get to a place that doesn't exist?"

"yes, it seems that the lack of sleep has really dulled my mind, so what are we going to do with Fred, just smash this wall with a hammer?"

"Are you really George? It's not going to be anything, your sluggishness makes me unjudgeable, Andrew, hurry up and undo this magic, we're here." Fred's voice raised slightly, and Xie An and Luna clearly heard the twins' voices, and a ripple flashed, and the twins walked in.

"Wow, Andrew, your magic has grown again, you can actually switch between virtual and real at will, the two of us checked for a long time, and used our wands to point around, the outer wall is the same as the real one, this kind of magic is almost as exquisite as the magic of the nine and three-quarter platform. Does this magic block out the light?" Fred's wand glowed white, making the faces of the four men look excessively pale. The twins also wore Hogwarts school uniforms, and Luna and Shayne wore Muggle clothes.

"Isolation from light, and sound. Xie An replied expressionlessly. Luna glanced at Xie An in surprise, the two were very close, but fortunately, the weather was still very cold at this time, not so abrupt.

"Say, what's interesting today, and I left a note for the two of us. George observed Xie An's magic wall from this side, and touched it lightly with his hand, and found that this strange magic wall was as magical as one-way glass: it looked like a wall on the outside, but from this side, you could clearly see the outside, but now it was pitch black outside, and the white light from the magic could not be transmitted.

"There was nothing important either, just that there was no time to celebrate Christmas, so I thought a few of us could have a New Year's party together. Xie An said very calmly.

George looked at Xie An strangely, and after a while said: "Andrew, you are not like the kind of person who likes pleasure, for the two of us, making money is the most important thing, wasting precious time on the celebration party you said, neither your style nor our right, it seems that this thing is unreasonable." ”

Xie An smiled, the twins were very honest.

"It's true that we are not the protagonists of today's events, the protagonists will appear later, oh, I already hear footsteps, it should be them arriving, let's talk about it later. (To be continued.) )
