Chapter 512: End or Beginning?
Here it comes!
Even if it's a long distance, it's easy to see if someone is in a certain location when the mountains are full of snow.
Not long after, when the figure in the distance crossed another hillside and was about to step into the range that the original ancient mirror could influence, Maca, who was in stealth, suddenly pulled the staff back.
The soul rule rune was dragged in front of him in an instant, and then it was thrown directly in the direction of Hogwarts Castle. And he himself flew upside down with him.
Suddenly, the power that shrouded the ancient mirror spread in the blink of an eye, protecting the people of Hogwarts Castle again before the concussion appeared.
In fact, this is the only point that is difficult to control with time, because he cannot accurately estimate the time when he will step into that range at that time. If there was a half-point difference, the self who pretended to be Snape would immediately notice that something was wrong.
Therefore, he had to come out first and judge with his own eyes where that point in time was.
And using the soul rule on a large scale requires the consumption of more mana, and the next thing is to maintain it until the self who is lying in the snow and pretending to be a corpse leaves. In order to avoid the deviation of the timing of use, this collection and release must be accurate.
When Maca saw a Snape-like shadow appear in the distance, and spread her arms and flew this way, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, he watched from a distance as the figure fell heavily to the ground, and at the last moment, it finally entered the countdown stage.
This scene is actually quite amazing, because in this short period of time, the three macas happen to be standing in a straight line. The farthest one stood on a high slope, while the one in the middle, Snape, had fallen into the snow, and the one at the edge of the castle remained silently invisible.
Although all three are Maca herself, they each represent each stage of the event.
From the first person who showed Snape's clue, to the one who found out that Snape was indeed involved, and then to the one who learned the truth from Snape.
Severus Snape doesn't seem to be a major character from beginning to end, but the whole story of the event is indispensably related to him. Without his involvement, Maca would still be trapped in a time loop, never getting the hang of it.
Thinking of this, Maca couldn't help but turn her head and glance around the ancient magic mirror. Both Greenwald and Voldemort fell into the snow, without any breath.
These two Dark Lords, who had been powerful in their respective eras, had no sense of existence at all at this last moment. One of them willingly threw himself into the ancient mirror, while the other was sent somewhere else by Maca.
Maybe they'll all come back, but maybe they won't...... In any case, it would have been a long time before I could see them again.
Soon after, when the figure in the snow in the distance got up and left, Maca immediately rushed to the place where the mysterious ancient magic mirror was. And the next moment, I saw him wave his hand casually, and with a simple levitation spell, he took the mirror and ran directly outside the school gate.
With a twist of space, Maca vanished along with the ancient mirror that represented calamity.
β¦β¦
For every wizard who has lived in the wizarding world for a long time, riding Muggle transportation is a very important thing. Pure-blood fanatics are irritable as a result, while other wizards are often intensely curious.
At this moment, Ron, Harry, and Hermione were sitting in the carriage, and in the other seats next to them, there was a large group of people.
Naturally, the Weasley twins would not be absent at such a time, and in addition, there were quite a few members of the . This time, however, it was several members of the Order of the Phoenix who led the way.
Right now, except for Harry and Hermione, who were helpless, most of the others looked excited. Even Lupin, who was usually more steady, craned his neck to look left and right, as if comparing the dresses of other Muggles to his own, to see if he was wearing the right clothes.
ββ¦β¦ Really, I mean really! In the corner of the car, Neville was reddening his neck and emphasizing, "I met that Malfoy guy on the Rider Bus, and he went to the funeral!" β
"No, it's impossible, isn't it?" Fred raised an eyebrow and said, "Can that kid go to the funeral?" You might as well say that the Flober caterpillar will turn into a butterfly! β
"The Flober caterpillar will only become Malfoy, not a butterfly." George added with a grin.
"It's nothing to do with the Flober caterpillar!" Neville exasperated, "I really met him!" β
"Then he hasn't done anything with you yet?" Fred apparently didn't believe it at all.
"Neville, you're probably sleeping." George shrugged his shoulders and quipped, "Or you'll meet him later, and you just had a dream with prophecy?" β
"Ohβdo you say you're a prophet?" Fred nodded, "Amazing! Terrific! β
Teasing Neville has always been a regular activity at Gryffindor House, especially Fred and George, who are particularly fond of making fun of him. It's just that others know what it means to be in moderation, but these two guys have never had that string in their heads.
Neville was obviously angry with the two of them again, but he had never been good at words, and he couldn't even open his mouth when the twins talked about it.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for us to finally arrive.
In central London, everyone was following the Muggles and getting out of the car. Neville pursed his lips and immediately shrank back to Harry's side, separating the friends from his twin brothers.
They all followed Lupin, who led the way, and boarded the escalator outside the subway station together, and came outside the station.
To say that these people are all dressed as Muggles, but except for Harry and Hermione, I am afraid that Tonks looks more normal among the others.
She wore a black lapel jacket with a pair of ripped jeans underneath, and the bright purple hair made her look even more stylish.
However, other wizards, big and small, look very weird. Some wore jackets under shirts, some wore old-fashioned suits with basketball shoes, and even wore nightgowns as outerwear. Wizards' understanding of Muggle dress habits is obviously quite inadequate.
At this point, Neville suddenly left Harry's side again, and hurried a few steps towards Lupin. He seemed to be trying to avoid the Weasley brothers, who were squeezing towards him, by asking a few words.
It's still Christmas holidays, and although it's only a few days since the end of the holiday, the Christmas atmosphere on the streets is still quite strong. Everyone walked down the still cold street, looking at the large number of Muggle customers in the shops on either side, each looking for the difference between wizards and Muggles.
Probably thinking that Ron was a little too fond of joining in the fun, Lupin, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and reached out to pull him so that he would not be brought into the store by the crowd of shoppers who were hurrying to an electronics store.
"Here we are."
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lupin to point to a department store.
It's a department store that looks quite historic, and there are even some cracks in the old red brick walls. Because of the Muggle banishment spell, it looks quite deserted compared to the two shops next to it.
And on the lintel of this department store, there is a store sign that does not look like the name of the store at all, "Taotao Co., Ltd."
From the outside, you can see that most of the dummy models in the window are missing hands and feet, and the fake ones on their heads are crooked to the side, each posing inexplicably. On them, they wear old-fashioned clothes from at least ten years ago, and they are obviously very problematic to match.
On the door of this department store, a sign reading "Closed for Renovation" hung on the doorknob, which was already covered with thick dust.
Behind them, there were Muggles passing by the side of the road, but most of them seemed to be unaware of this side and hurried forward.
Only occasionally, once in a while, one or two people would glance in this direction, and then look away without paying attention.
"Here," Tonks and Lupin both beckoned to their first visitors, motioning for them to come over to the window, "ready?" β
Everyone nodded, indicating that they were probably already standing.
Tonks shrugged, then turned around and leaned in the window to look inside, where a rather ugly-looking mannequin was in place.
"Hello?" Tonks said, "We're here to see Marca McLean. β
It had been quite cold lately, and as she spoke, the moisture she exhaled hapoured hapoured haze the window panes.
Immediately after, the dummy in the window nodded his head slightly, as if he had heard her words. Then it lifted its stiff arm and beckoned inside.
"Alright, let's go!" Tonks said a word back, and then took Ginny's arm through the glass, and disappeared into view as if she had blended in.
A few friends who had never been here looked at each other a few times, and then they followed them and went to the top of the window glass. In the blink of an eye, they were in an unusually crowded waiting room.
Here, there are rows of wooden chairs and a large number of witches and wizards of all kinds. Most of these wizards don't look normal, they are either missing or over, almost the same as the dummy in the window before.
"Does Maca live in this kind of place?" Harry wondered, "Isn't there something more to him?" β
