Chapter 827: Just a Big Rock

Maca wasn't very clear about what Asaph and Miriam had decided. He only knew that from the first step of the two of them into the British wizarding world, the final outcome was actually predestined.

Yes, all of this, I'm afraid, has been in the planning of Ewen Ravenclaw from beginning to end.

The next morning, having not slept all night, Maca flipped through the pile of manuscripts on the table, on which he had written the entire paragraph of deduction himself, but in the end he was surprisingly bored to read it.

Pull it and push the parchment aside. A few pieces of cut paper gently slid down the table, fluttering down on the pile of materials on one side of the table.

As you can see, there is something familiar on those pictures - it is a map of the planets of the solar system. And in the entire solar system, there is a wonderful arc running through it, and even the closest position to the earth makes people sweat coldly.

Maca's astronomy wasn't very good, and he had always found wizards' modern astronomical calculus unreliable, so he got this picture from the Muggle world.

As for the follow-up deduction......

"Eun, old man, could it be true that he wanted to accomplish such an almost impossible plan just for the sake of Rowena's words a thousand years ago? Even at the expense of his subordinates' lives to delay Helbo's actions? ”

In fact, even Maca herself was part of the delaying scheme.

While he complained casually, he couldn't help but think about one thing:

At the beginning, did Rowena leave something for old Eun that could help him achieve this almost fantastical "star-picking" plan?

"Anyway," Maka said slowly, glancing at the star map and leaning back in her chair, "the best time to do it would be at the end of the year...... Is it during the Christmas holidays? ”

If the comet, which the Muggle named "Hale-Pop", crossed that point, it would be very difficult to manipulate even with magic.

With such a long distance, coupled with many interference factors, at least Maca is not confident that he can handle it, even if he uses the rule rune array that he is best at.

Rather than go to the Muggle world and borrow some "treasures" - maybe something that doesn't have magical power can completely destroy the broken mirror?

But while secretly laughing at this, Maca didn't find a reason to stop Old Eun. He had once studied the Monument of Bewitchment in depth, and he knew how strange these ghosts left over from ancient times were.

And it is precisely because of his ambivalence that a series of things that seemed to help last night happened, but turned out to be ignored.

Just as Maca was sitting in a chair, rubbing her somewhat sore temples, there was a sudden fluttering sound outside the window behind her.

With a wave of his backhand, he opened the curtain along with the window, letting the owl in.

When the little creature landed on his desk, he cleverly placed the envelope in front of Maca, and flew aside with a slight flapping of his wings.

Maca tossed some food from the drawer and opened the thin letter to take a few looks.

It was sent directly from the Ministry of Magic, and it was signed by Minister Scrimgeour at the end. As for its content, Maca didn't know what to say.

“…… Don't have enough staff in the Auror office? What's the use of talking to me about this kind of thing? ”

Last night, it was the black market evacuating the crowd, the expulsion of the Dementors in London, and coordinating with the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters and the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control.

This included clearing memories for some Muggles, figuring out how to catch Dementors, and sorting out the extra black marketeer.

Not to mention the Auror Office, I'm afraid the entire Ministry of Magic will have to be in chaos.

"I can help you figure it out, but it's up to you. If this incident can be handled well, this is actually a result that is no less than the alchemy competition. ”

With a few hurried strokes on the back of the letter, Maka hastily shoved it back into the envelope and held out her hand to the owl waiting aside. Watching it fly out of the window into the sky with the letter in his mouth, he pulled another piece of parchment and began to consider the contents of another letter.

In fact, this is not a bad time, taking advantage of this time to stuff Lupin, Sirius and others to the Ministry of Magic, it is of great benefit to Hogwarts and himself.

If I hadn't been so close to Scrimgeour in the future, I wouldn't have had such a good chance.

"Then again...... Is this a hard-plugged relation? ”

When this kind of is put around her, Maca can't help but start to agree with this sad social tradition.

He paused for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders again, and a drop of ink fell silently on the parchment, seeping through the lines of the paper.

……

Life is like this, there is the beauty of dreams, and there must be the dirt of reality.

Of course, at least on campus, there is always more pure purity.

Recently, the weather has been getting colder and the winds are getting stronger. Everyone was dressing themselves so that they wouldn't have to go to Madam Pomfrey to get a cure for a cold.

When you drink it, your head turns into a boiling kettle, and your ears are steaming hard, which is a bad feeling!

"Oh, looks like it should snow in a few days."

Ron had woken up early today, and was leaning into the dorm room window in his pajamas, looking out a few times left and right. In the distance, the treetops of the Forbidden Forest swayed in the strong wind, and you could hear it through the window.

"Harry, remember to give Ginny more rest, it's too hard to practice in this weather."

Harry, who was still sitting on the bed, yawned as he groped his bedside table for his eyes.

"She's more diligent than me...... And you know, as long as she thinks it's useless, others say it's useless. ”

"That's not including you!"

Ron paced back to his bedside and began to dress himself. But halfway through it, I realized that I hadn't taken off my pajamas yet! So I had to take off the sweater I had just put on......

Harry, who was sitting on the bed opposite, finally found his glasses, and waved his hand while putting them on the bridge of his nose.

"This kind of thing, I don't want to talk about it, and it will make her feel unfree...... You don't know that the next opponent is Slytherin, and Ginny is riveting her strength to win! ”

The next round of the Quidditch House Cup is just around the corner, and while everyone is worried about some chaos, it is always the duty of being a student to learn and do things on campus.

If Harry, the Seeker, and Ginny, the goalkeeper, hadn't worked hard, Gryffindor might as well have waived this year's Academy Cup.

When both of them got dressed and walked out of the dormitory, a cold wind suddenly hit the stairs outside, blowing that they couldn't help but shrink their necks.

"Let's go!"

Ron beckoned, took the lead and trotted.

The common room was warm, and as soon as they entered the area with a fireplace, the two of them felt less cold. When they reached the door of the lounge, they turned their heads and saw Hermione sitting on a small couch waiting for them.

"See Ginny?"

Harry asked suddenly, and Hermione, who was looking through a notebook, pointed out the window without looking up.

"I went to the court to practice, and she said she was going to fly alone for a while before breakfast."

"Oh......" Harry lamented helplessly, "I'll go see her, and by the way, I'll call her back and go to the auditorium together, you don't have to wait for me, go first!" ”

Ron shrugged at him, tilting his head to glance at the book Hermione was reading.

As expected, it was something he couldn't understand no matter how he looked at it.

"Hermione, let's go!"

But at this moment, there was a muffled discussion behind him.

“…… Did you see it last night, there was a very bright star in the sky, which I hadn't seen before in astronomy class. ”

"Hey, I saw it the other day! Is it getting brighter and brighter lately? ”

"Let you usually not take astronomy class well, what do you know! Professor Sinitas has said that it is a scourge, don't stare at it! ”

"What a scourge, that's a meteor! When I was a kid, my mom and I talked about ......"

The so-called "calamity" is a fairly taboo thing in the wizarding world. Comets and meteors have been a great omen of disaster since ancient times, and this is much more serious than seeing a black dog in a teacup.

If it weren't for the fact that there are many Muggle-born wizards in the modern wizarding world, the concept of wizards today has improved a lot, and when that "disaster star" appears, I am afraid that the global wizarding world will have to boil.

"Hermione, you're good at astronomy, do you know what that star is all about?" Ron listened and suddenly asked in a low voice, "You say...... Could it have something to do with the previous incident? ”

"Huh?"

Hearing him ask about this, Hermione looked up and glanced at the classmates who were still talking.

"It's just a little bit bigger."

She had studied at Muggle schools as a child, and since she had been a good learner since she was a child, a lot of knowledge was engraved in her mind very early.

Among them, there are some popular science books from childhood.

Although she would not reject the astronomical knowledge of the wizarding world in her heart like Maca, she still had some fundamental concepts.

"Let's go! Go to the auditorium ......"

With that, Hermione put the book back in her bag, then picked it up and headed to the door. And in her head, she was still thinking about some of the magical theory materials she had just seen.

And at this very moment, Luna, who was standing in front of a window hole in the Ravenclaw Tower, had some diametrically opposite opinions.

"Oh...... Is something bad going to happen? ”
