Chapter 975: Science and Magic
As death became a habit, Miriam thought she would probably never shed tears for someone's death again.
But it wasn't until the moment of Asaph's accident that she realized that even if there were no tears in her eyes, her heart would still be filled with sadness, and she couldn't breathe.
When Sirius led her to the makeshift room at the back of the hall to identify the familiar man, Miriam realized that she might not be as strong as she thought.
This opposite sex, who has known her since childhood, is now lying motionless on the ground, and has long been lifeless.
ββ¦β¦ Asaph. β
As she looked at the face with her eyes slightly closed, Miriam couldn't help but let out a soft call, and she felt her voice tremble slightly involuntarily.
Ever since he was taken away and imprisoned by Helpo, Miriam hasn't seen him again. But knowing that he would not survive, Miriam never gave up looking for himβeven if it was just to see him one last time, as she is now.
"Mr. Black, this is indeed my companion Asaph......" After watching in silence for a long time, Miriam said softly, "You just said that he is actually dead, right?" β
Sirius had been standing by since the moment and had not said a word.
In fact, as soon as he saw Miriam's expression, he knew that the man who had infiltrated disguised himself as a wounded person could already confirm his identity.
Seeing that Miriam asked about the details, he nodded and said:
"Yes, he should have died a long time ago, but he was given terrifying combat abilities with black magic. As for his consciousness, I'm afraid it ceased to exist a long time ago......"
"Was it by that Helpo?"
"Probably!"
In fact, for Miriam, the answer no longer matters. Now, even Grandpa Ravan has died, and there is no need to delve into many things.
Otherwise, she was afraid that she would gradually understand that in fact, the life of these children was a mistake that they did not know.
"Mr. Black, you know what...... In fact, we were all just ordinary Muggle kids, and we should have died a long time ago. If I have to say, it's been an incredible adventure that we've survived until now......"
"And now, Asaph has finally returned to his original destiny."
"Really, I don't know what the meaning of our lives is, maybe...... Dying as a Muggle back then was the truest thing for us. β
When she said these words, Miriam's eyes seemed a little wandering, as if she was revisiting the bits and pieces of her childhood.
After a long time, she turned her head again and said:
"I don't know...... Can I have a funeral for Asaph? An ordinary Muggle funeral...... Hmm, is it going to bother you guys? β
Sirius thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Ask Maca when she wakes up! Wait for him to ...... After Mr. Asaph's inspection, it should be fine. As he spoke, he walked out the door, "There's still time, and I think you may have a lot to say to him 'alone'...... I'll be waiting for you outside. β
With that, Sirius left the room and went outside into the hallway.
"Ma-"
He had barely come out when he saw Maca leaning against the wall and making a few gestures at him.
"Are you awake? Why don't you sleep a little longer? Sirius lowered his voice knowingly.
Maca then waved her hand.
"That's enough," he replied casually, then laughing, "Sirius, what's wrong with you today?" is so understanding, and it also leaves her room to be alone...... Isn't that your usual style? β
In the face of Maca's teasing, Sirius shrugged his shoulders noncommittally...... In fact, he saw his past in Miriam.
Harry's parents died, and he and Lupin lost two of their best friends.
But now looking at Miriam's calm and sad appearance, he suddenly realized that even if everyone is going through a similar story, everyone's choices are different.
That's when he chose to let his anger burn unchecked, a rage that he couldn't quench even after ten years in Azkaban.
And Miriam chose to suffer in silence, that's all.
If he was still young, Sirius would definitely scoff at this, but now, he somehow wanted to agree with Miriam's choice.
Of course, even if there is a change in the heart, Sirius is still Sirius. He wouldn't say anything like that in his heart.
Seeing that Sirius didn't seem to want to answer, Maca smiled again indifferently.
"Since you gave her time to be alone, then I'll come back later!" "As for the funeral, of course it's fine, but it's going to have to wait a while......," he said. See you later. β
Looking at the back of Maca leaving, Sirius shook his head, not knowing what he was thinking again.
β¦β¦
Speaking of which, Maca did wake up earlier, and it was only six hours since she fell asleep.
However, this is also because there is another very important thing waiting for him to do!
After going down the hall and asking someone, he went straight up the stairs and went straight up to the sixth floor of St. Mungo's without stopping.
After the Formation stopped, Sarah had already returned to Hogwarts. But perhaps because of the relationship between Victor and his son, Sinista stayed here.
At this moment, the sixth floor has been restored to its former furnishings like the lobby, and the afternoon tea room and gift shop for visitors have reopened.
"Oh, you're here!"
Maca poked into the tearoom and soon saw Sinista, and sitting across from her was old Victor.
After Hermione's "nosy", the father and daughter, who had never met each other, finally put aside all the obstacles between the two parties and truly confirmed each other's existence.
In this period of so many disasters, this family affection is undoubtedly extremely precious.
Since Maca was barely involved in the whole process, and even heard most of it indirectly from Hermione's mouth, he didn't really know much about the details of the process.
But this did not prevent him from sitting down next to the father and daughter for a few words as a topic.
"Professor Sinista, listen to what you guys were talking about Diagon Alley...... Is there a plan for Mr. Victor to come to the magical realm? β
As he spoke, he naturally sat down at a table next to him.
But not to mention the old Victor, Sinista's first reaction was not to answer Maca's question, but to subconsciously say like Sirius:
"McLean, you're up now? St. Mungo's finesse right now, why don't you take more rest? β
"Oh, why do you ask this question every time you meet someone?" Maca wondered, "Don't worry, I'm well rested...... It's true! β
To be honest, if only one or two people asked, he could still say to himself that everyone cares about him. But if he was told to sleep a little more, it would make him feel a little strange.
Not only Sirius and Sinista, but even the people he had just met in the hall and on the stairs, it seemed that everyone he knew couldn't help but say such a greeting to him.
It's always a sign of caring, though, isn't it?
Aside from the slight doubts in her heart, Maca didn't plan to go around in circles, and then said directly:
"Well, actually, I'm here to find Mr. Victor...... I know you're a Muggle professor of astronomy, and this time, I need your help. β
After recognizing Sinista, the elder Victor was clearly very different from before.
Although he still has the same coat as a cleaning volunteer, his whole face is still messy with hair and beard, which looks a little unkempt.
But now, there is a brightness in his eyes, and he no longer looks like an old drunk soaked in a barrel all day long like in the past.
Hearing Maka ask, the old man quickly nodded and said:
"Astrophysics, to be exact."
This is also the opportunity for him to meet Sinista's mother. If he hadn't loved the stars as much as Orelia, the two wouldn't have met and united so smoothly, and there wouldn't have been such a bizarre development in life after that.
Although Maca has some concept of "astrophysics", it is only a general impression. Seeing that old Victor answered seriously, he was a little difficult to answer.
Fortunately, the purpose of his conversation is still very clear.
"Mr. Victor, I'll tell you the truth! I don't know much about science, but there is a problem that I think requires the involvement of science to have any hope of solving......"
"Is it a wizarding thing?"
Old Victor was also a little curious.
As a veteran Muggle scholar who has always had a long history with the wizarding world, he also wanted to explore the mysteries of magic from a scientific perspective. Whether it is the wizarding world or the Muggle world, the mentality of all researchers is actually very similar.
It's a pity that what Maca did this time was not a pure research, but wanted science to help him solve a real crisis.
After pondering for a while, and secretly figuring out the impact that might be caused by revealing the truth in the future, he waved his hand and placed a silence spell around him.
"Mr. Victor, this matter is important...... Whether you can help or not, at least make sure you don't tell anyone outside of us. β
After receiving the nod of old Victor, Maca said slowly:
"I guess you know about the recent 'Hale-Pop Comet', right? I must say that it is going to bring us a pretty bad disaster...... There are only three months left. β
