Chapter 530: Salvation Passed On
If Maca had known that the synchronized spell he had figured out had been used by the group of young wizards in Defence Against the Dark Arts class, he didn't know what his expression would be. But fortunately, he doesn't have the spare time to care about those little things for the time being.
Originally, he was in a state of non-committal about Scrimgeur's request and overture, but after listening to Pansy Parkinson's words, he suddenly became more interested.
Voldemort is dead...... Or at least half-dead, but he apparently still has some small backhand. And in Voldemort's secret plan, the main role seems to be played by the madwoman Bellatrix.
Maybe it's the so-called "secrets" that always arouse the curiosity of others. Anyway, Maca has some ideas to find out, and if the things behind it are irrelevant, it is not impossible to regard it as a favor.
Now that the afternoon class is over, Maca thinks about it for a while, and plans to check it out.
So, while Harry and the others were still making a fuss in the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, a figure flickered among the trees at the school gate and disappeared again.
……
Aimless searches are naturally useless.
Not to mention that the possibility might cover the whole world, even if the Death Eaters were smart enough to run out of British territory at this time, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. The Ministry of Magic has sent so many Auror nets to search for it, but it has not yielded anything, and even if he is strong personally, he will not be able to do the impossible.
Searching for an acquaintance like Sirius in the United States before was already the limit of Maca's search ability.
So, the first thing he went to was Black's house, which is the so-called "headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix".
Because the events of Voldemort and Greenwald had passed, and he had been in St. Mungo's Hospital of Witchcraft and Wizardry before he returned to Hogwarts, he hadn't really been here during this time. But even if he doesn't come, the situation here is as always compiled into a daily report and delivered to him regularly.
Of course, things aren't as much as they used to be, and most of the members of the Order of the Phoenix are starting to return to their normal lives, except for those who have nowhere else to go and make it their home.
As the true owner of Black's old mansion, Sirius was happy to do the same. If all the people in the old mansion were gone now, would he have to go and stare at the house-elf Kreacher alone? At that point, Sirius would probably be so angry every day that he might run away from home again......
Grimmauld Place is still the same, and the desolate scene is indeed conducive to avoiding people's eyes. But now it seems that there is no need to "abuse" herself so much, and Maca stood between the front yards of No. 11 and No. 13, looking left and right at this lifeless street, thinking that maybe she could transform this place or something.
He thought as he casually waved his hand behind him. Suddenly, the buildings on both sides slid to the side, giving way to Black's old house at 12 Grimmauld Place.
"Maybe the Loyalty Curse can be lifted?"
This spell is indeed very convenient to hide things, but it also takes a process to be convenient, and when concealment becomes a senseless guard, it is equivalent to a burden. No one likes superfluous things, especially for those who live here every day.
When the whole house was fully revealed, Maca turned around, rubbed lightly on the doorknob, and opened the door silently.
He didn't expect that the first thing he saw when he opened the door was a person who had just lived here for a short time. The man's name was "Helen Schonn".
Before the last link of the time rewind was fastened, he left the Miss Schöne in an inconsequential place. Although he was in a coma for a while, when he woke up in St. Mungo's hospital bed, he didn't forget about it.
The energy that belonged to the Silent One had been very weak since she was triggered by the Mirror of Eris, and Maca had imprisoned that energy in her body just in case.
And now it seemed that her spirit had improved a lot, and now she actually carried a feather duster, gently dusting the wall decorations like an ordinary Muggle.
"Mr. McLean." When Helen saw Maca come in, a hint of complexity flashed across her face, but soon she put aside the complicated past and smiled at Maca.
I have to say that this girl is really pleasant, and it's no wonder that she has always been very popular with her classmates when she was at Hogwarts.
"Saw Isla?" Maca nodded to her as well, as well.
He couldn't say what he thought of Miss Schoen. It's just a girl who can deceive people with a fake smile.,It's always easy to make people wary.。 If it weren't for the fact that she had temporarily lost all the power she could use to hurt people, she was no different from a normal Muggle, and Maca wouldn't have let Lupin and them pick her up.
Rebuilding trust on the ruins of honesty is not easy.
"Hmm......" Helen seemed to sense the distance between Maca and her, and suddenly became a little restrained, "That...... I mean...... Thank you. ”
"As long as those things in the past are really for Ishla, I'm sure everyone here can forgive you for those past things." Maca said, passing by her and heading deeper into the foyer.
“…… Is that also you? ”
Before Maca was about to enter the innermost door of the foyer, Helen's voice came from behind him. Having been practicing the Spiritual Technique for a long time, he could feel the glimmer of anticipation contained in it.
"Of course, that includes me."
When a scammer wants to gain the approval of others, an affirmation is a great encouragement. Maca had received a redemption from the innocent Luna, and if that really worked, he wouldn't mind passing on that pure redemption.
After saying this, Maca took another pause, leaving the foyer of Black's old mansion, which was getting neater and brighter.
"Lupin, how are you doing? How far has it gotten with Tonks? ”
As soon as she entered the reception room, Maca saw Lupin, who was looking through the papers—he was probably used to it, and if he didn't do some work every day, he would be exhausted.
For Lupin and Tonks, a couple who came together inexplicably, Maca had a fun mind. After all, the age gap between the two is indeed a bit big, and the age difference of a full 13 years is enough to form a generation gap that is difficult to cross, and it may not be easy to have a smooth journey.
"Maca?" Lupin raised his head when he heard this, "It's all said, it's impossible for me to be with her - why did you come here?" Those little guys at Hogwarts aren't that easy to teach, and now it's okay to be around, why didn't you prepare well for class? If Miss McGonagall found out, you wouldn't have a good life. ”
"Come on! Professor McGonagall is about to be promoted to Vice-Chancellor, she's so busy, how can she care where I am? Maka laughed as she pulled out a chair and sat down, "Besides, I actually ran out for her sake – or rather, for the stability of Hogwarts." ”
"How?" When Lu Ping heard this, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, but after thinking about it, he seemed to think of something, "...... Could it be that it has something to do with the Great Escape of the Death Eaters? ”
Everything is now in the final stages, and even the small commotions such as vampires, Gringotts goblins, etc., which need more time to appease, have little to do with Hogwarts and Maca. Isn't it most likely that the Death Eater escaped from prison now?
Yes, although Lupin didn't understand why Maca cared about that, the possibilities were limited to that.
"Scrimgeour sent me a copy of the Daily Prophet," Maca said succinctly, "for tomorrow." ”
"Newspapers?" Lupin's first instinct was to be surprised, "The Death Eater escape is not a small storm, the entire Auror office has been busy these days, and Kingsley is very busy - this new minister still has the heart to send you newspapers?" Well...... Well? Wait......"
As he spoke, he suddenly stopped and frowned.
“…… Tomorrow's? What was written in the newspaper? ”
Lupin has real-time information from Kingsley, and is much more detailed than Maca in terms of information gathering, plus he has been dealing with intelligence some time ago, and has become much more sensitive to certain things. When Maca saw that he seemed to have noticed something wrong, she knew that he had guessed something.
"It's a news story about a Death Eater escaping from prison," Marca said, "and it's a front-page headline, and it's a big story that takes up the entire page, and it's all about Scrimgeur. ”
"Hah!" Lupin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Our new minister seems to be in trouble?" But seeing that he still has time to deliver you a newspaper, it seems that he still has a lot of confidence? ”
"Isn't it?" Maka shook her head and said, "I think you know that this Scrimgeour doesn't have the muscles he always shows...... At least when it comes to playing with power, he is still very talented. ”
"What about you? Now that he's taken the initiative to show good signals, what do you want to do? Lupin asked with interest, "If we can get along with this new minister, who seems to have quite a lot of means, Hogwarts will probably have a more solid position in the wizarding world today!" ”
"I didn't care, actually—" Maca thought for a moment, and then confessed, "I didn't want to get involved until noon today, but then I stumbled upon a piece of news that gave me the idea to find out......"
