Chapter 30: A Vacation That Went in a Hurry

As for the cause of the accident, Maca asks Kevin a few words as he leaves. Although the other party said that it was inconvenient to disclose it to the public for the time being, he still revealed a little information under Maca's questioning.

They were two dark wizards who had absconded from the American wizarding world to the United Kingdom, and the British Ministry of Magic had now taken over the agreement for the search. According to Kevin, it was actually a fugitive couple, the husband was a dark wizard, but his wife was just an ordinary wizard.

"No wonder that woman has been nervous, it seems that she is just forced to be helpless." Maca shook her head.

"Even if you are forced to be helpless, you can't condone it, the harm of dark wizards is very great." Kevin said solemnly, "And there's no guarantee that she won't transform into a new dark wizard in the future." ”

Maca thinks that what Kevin said does make a lot of sense. Treating the real dark wizard community with appeasement will only make them more arrogant.

But so what? Maca didn't want to go against anyone, as long as they didn't mess with him, and he didn't want to provoke the guys who were completely ruined.

Learning all kinds of esoteric and complex magical knowledge was exhausting enough, and he didn't have so much leisure to toss around.

Moreover, this time he used a spell outside of school and the Aurors to help him erase the record, what about the future? If something goes wrong, or if there is any misunderstanding, it will definitely be a big trouble.

In the days that followed, Maca took Luna around again.

Hyde Park, Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square, the River Thames, Buckingham Palace, everything you can do in London. Watching the street during the day and going to the theater at night is a pleasure.

"Ah—there's never enough time." Maca sighed and took Luna back to Lovegood's house.

"Then again, you ...... Didn't anyone tell you about the anomaly when you used Floo powder? When Maca appeared in the fireplace of Lovegood's house, Xenoflius couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, yes, Mr. Weasley asked me too, but I don't know." Maca was also puzzled by this, "He also specially asked the maintenance staff of Floo.com to readjust the fireplace in his house, and even renovated it himself, but it didn't work at all." ”

He had consulted many books at Hogwarts, but the structure of Floo and the preparation of Floo powder had always been a mystery, and he had no idea about it. But this is not something that can be found by asking a person casually, and in the end the matter was put on hold.

"Anyway, maybe it has something to do with the soul, but at the moment it's just a guess." Maca thought to himself.

To be honest, he doesn't know more about himself than anyone else. Since ancient times, the deep exploration of the mysteries of the human body has been a bottleneck for many researchers, whether wizards or Muggles.

"The vacation is coming to an end in a few days," Maca said suddenly, "I'm going to sort out my study notes in the last few days, and I won't be going out anymore lately." ”

"I'm sorry, Luna."

"Huh? No, it's me who should thank you. Luna smiled slightly, "I had a great time, a very pleasant Christmas holiday." ”

……

Maca came back the evening before school started, and he brought a lot of messy things, most of which were Christmas presents that everyone had given him. It's not a big deal, and some of it is even a snack, but it's everyone's heart.

For example, it included a large bag of rock skin cakes that Hagrid had given him, and Maca felt that she would never eat them in her life, but that she could keep them as a special kind of souvenir - they had a very long shelf life.

In fact, after Christmas Day passed, Maca also received some late gifts. And in this batch of gifts, there are many useful things.

Dumbledore had given him a Halo 2000 broomstick - it was impossible for Maca to hide from him when he joined the Quidditch team.

While the other teachers mostly give books, all kinds of books, and even notes that they have summarized. For Maca, the gifts from these teachers are really close to his heart.

And I have to mention that Snape actually made up a gift for him!

Well, while Snape's gift didn't look like a Christmas present by any means, Maca knew that the elixir he had given was clearly rewarding.

Snape sent the school owl with a small note.

"'Shadowless'...... There's also its cracking spell 'Quick Healing'. ”

Maca looked at the note, there was a spell on the front and back, and a simple and concise analysis of the spell was also annotated in small print.

“…… It's a great gift. Maca was a little emotional.

This is an offensive spell invented by Snape, which is stealthy, swift, and powerful, and if there is no counterspell, I am afraid that there will be another element in the Unforgivable Charm.

"Oh! Welcome back, Maca. At the beginning of the Hogwarts dinner, Hermione waved happily at him, she had just arrived today.

With the exception of Hermione, many people were welcoming Maca. In Maca's mind, this is probably also due to her own gifts—they have never seen such enthusiasm in their lives.

At the guest of honor, the professors also nodded to him kindly. Maca looked at Dumbledore and smiled a little shyly, and couldn't help but think that it was better not to go over.

He greeted the professors from afar, and made it to the Hufflepuff table.

"It's going to start again!" Charlotte squeezed Ommy, who had been sitting next to Maca, out of the way, and slammed it on Maca's back as usual.

Maca reluctantly let her shoot, because refusing to open her mouth would only make her shoot harder.

Charlotte's "beginning" naturally meant Quidditch training. Although he received the Halo 2000 from Dumbledore this time, he felt that it was too late to take it out before the game, and there was no need to show it off.

After all, not to mention the effect of secrecy, it's better to keep a low profile, isn't it?

In the days that followed, it was raining continuously, but the little badgers of the Quidditch team were still full of energy. They are known for their hard work and steadfastness, but they will not stagnate because of a little trouble. Maca, a lazy little badger, was squeezed in the middle by them, and couldn't help but show some energy.

In order to make herself look more serious, Maca also came up with several creative tactics. His ideas were unanimously affirmed by the team members and fully supported in the exercises.

Maca regretted this for a while, because in this way, the training volume increased a lot.

Of course, Maca has a lot to keep busy with besides Quidditch training.

Lately, he's been using all kinds of potions to nourish and refresh himself, and the effect is amazing. Too many potions can be used, after all, there will still be side effects of various drug precipitation, and they cannot be used for long-term support.

Thankfully, a series of studies are nearing completion, and if nothing else, a new potion is about to be born.

The inspiration and cause of this research began with a sudden accident during the Christmas holidays.

For every wizard, the wand he has is a part of his life. While wizards can replace wands after accidental damage, it's common knowledge in the wizarding world that a wizard can't carry two wands at the same time.

Once a wand is associated with its owner, it becomes exclusive to other wands. When two wands are held by the same person, the benevolent brother will have no other result than a pair of chopsticks that are thick, long, stiff, and not very neat.

But what if his wand was taken away? Maca didn't want that again.

After comparing the possibilities, he decided to work on what he was best at.

In general, the vast majority of potions are swallowed. This is because most potions, once exposed to an unknown substance in the air, will undergo a rather complex chain of drastic changes in their properties, and the consequences are quite unpredictable.

As a result, Maca abandoned her initial attempt to research volatile hypnotic potions in favor of simple and crude research and development.

Some materials of a single nature do not exhibit chain upheaval, and the by-products of past experiments are a good example. On top of that, Maca tests out a highly volatile flammable potion and uses it to toss a rather dangerous bottle of liquid potion - this thing really does explode!

As long as there is a little bit of fire attribute material as an introduction, it can burst out with a very powerful attachment magic flame in an instant.

According to Maca, this demonic flame is almost as difficult as a weakened version of the Flame Charm; But its burning effect on those objects with magical power is probably not much weaker than the fierce fire.

It's just a pity that the safety of this thing in carrying cannot be guaranteed, which is a shortcoming that cannot be ignored.

Maca gave the prototype an equally simple and crude name - Flask One.

At noon the next day, while Maca was sitting in the library during the lunch break, writing long strips of potion formulas in her notebook, Hermione walked in excitedly.

"Maka, I found it!" She said, "I've found Nick Lemay!" ”

"It wasn't easy, and it's said he's back in France now." Maca said with a smile.

"Uh, I mean, I've found Nick Lemay!" Hermione whispered, "I found his name in the Medieval Guide to Witchcraft!" ”

"Oh yes, that's right." Maca nodded, "So, you already know what's behind Hagrid's three-headed dog?" ”

"I think so—it's the Philosopher's Stone!" Hermione lowered her voice.

After receiving Maca's approval, Hermione left happily. Maca looked at her back, but secretly said in her heart that the main event was coming.

In fact, he also considered whether he wanted to join in the fun, but after some thought, he decided to let it develop. For now, it doesn't matter if he goes, and maybe it will disrupt Dumbledore's plans.

After all, it was always Harry and Voldemort's business, so why should he do more wrong?
