Chapter 996: Suspicious "Coincidence"

As it turns out, there is more than just an adult mandrake that can run on its own. Not only that, but at the moment, in the seventh greenhouse, there is obviously a "personality plant" that runs faster than many animals!

When the strange plant, which looked like a petalless sunflower, jumped up from the pot in the depths of the greenhouse, shook off its thick rhizome and ran like a gust of wind, everyone was frightened.

You know, this is in the seventh greenhouse!

Professor Sprout had already taken the trouble to reiterate the danger of this place over and over again, and now that he had just entered, he immediately staged such a scene of plants running wild......

This sudden scene almost made everyone's little hearts seem to stop beating for half a beat.

However, perhaps it came so suddenly that most people didn't notice it—they had actually seen the plant in its form not long ago.

"Huh? What's wrong with everyone, why are you screaming so much...... I don't think I'm scary, right? ”

That's right, it's obviously the rare magical plant that Maka brought back to Hogwarts in the first place.

Earlier in the Christmas event, Professor Sprout had placed it in a flower pot at the exit of the greenhouse, and asked him to say a few Christmas greetings to all the young wizards who passed by him.

It's a pity that most of the students were too flustered at this time, so they couldn't connect it with the "interesting plant" in their memories for a while.

Besides, it wasn't allowed to run around like it does back then!

"Hey! I said, don't you all like to run as much as I do? If that's the case, maybe we can make an appointment to go for a morning run together every morning? ”

It can be seen that this guy doesn't seem to understand the situation at all. It watched the students run around in a panic, and thought it was running with it!

On the other hand, everyone who wears soundproof earmuffs is naturally impossible to hear what it says.

"Oh, Merlin's beard—"

Sprout, who was so overwhelmed by a running student that couldn't use the spell, had to hold his wand and try to find a gap, while sighing in a voice that no one could hear.

But at this moment, Luna, who had been watching all this, suddenly ran to the table and pushed away a heavy object that was pressing on the mandrake pot.

Then, without anyone noticing, she grabbed the stalk of grass in the pot and uprooted it.

Speaking of which, the young mandrake roots are actually really scary, and they all look like wrinkled babies. But when they reached adulthood, the rhizomes that looked like children became smooth.

Of course, in general, it's still ugly.

"Wow-"

Suddenly, a heart-rending cry echoed through the greenhouse—a deadly sound that could stop the heart, clot, and break down.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone was still wearing earmuffs that completely blocked out sound, a large number of people would have fallen in this greenhouse in the blink of an eye.

However, to say that this voice can be heard at the moment...... It seems that there is only the "fake sunflower" that is still chasing everyone.

"What's that? Oh, don't cry—"

Plants don't have hearts or blood, so it's not enough to die if they hear it. But even if it can't die, it obviously doesn't feel good at this time.

"Stop! If you crying little guy don't stop, I'll ...... Forget it, I can't afford to provoke it, I think I'd better run! ”

With that, it turned its head and ran into the depths of the greenhouse, and soon disappeared from everyone's view.

Luna, who was carrying a mandrake, looked in the direction it was leaving, and stood there in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

It wasn't until Professor Sprout came over and patted her hand and pointed to the pot that she came to her senses and stuffed the roots of the mandrake back into the dirt.

After such a farce, Sprout naturally did not dare to continue with the classroom practice as if it had never happened, and she quickly brought everyone back to the open space outside the greenhouse.

"Take the earmuffs off."

Let everyone remove the earmuffs first, and then Sprout said:

"I'm sorry, the riot just now can be said to be my fault, and I didn't expect that foot grass to suddenly run out. It's not actually harmful, but I can understand why you're panicking. ”

"Besides, if Miss Lovegood hadn't driven it away with a mandrake in time, perhaps there would have been real danger next! So, Ravenclaw adds another 10 points, which Miss Lovegood deserves......"

While Sprout spoke, the students gasped for breath in shock, and some of them threw grateful glances at Luna for the professor's words.

However, Luna herself seemed to not notice the gaze around her, and her eyes became more and more trance-like.

And in the next moment, as if she had solved a problem that had been bothering her for a long time, she suddenly said:

"Ahh It's called 'Little Black' – Maca calls it 'Little Black'! ”

"What?"

The surrounding classmates were confused, and they didn't know what she was talking about.

Truth be told, Luna is really smart sometimes, but more often than not, it's a bit confusing.

But it's probably her weird confusion that makes Maca feel that there are always all kinds of fun when she is with her.

……

“…… Actually, I am a prophet. ”

"Listen, if Macka McLean wants you to go to France, you'd better follow his advice."

"I know you might prefer to study magic at Hogwarts, but...... Not only is it useless for you to stay, but you will even die a senseless death. ”

"So, when he lets you go, you get out of here first!"

These were the last words of the wizard in the trench coat before leaving.

Little Cathy didn't understand why the other party said this, let alone who the other party was. But she really wanted to go to Hogwarts in her heart, and she didn't even mention it in front of her mother.

So, where did that mysterious wizard come from? That man...... Is it really a rare "prophet" in the wizarding world, as he says?

And why did the other party say this to a child like her, whom she had never met?

Oh no, judging from the previous conversation between the two, it seems that the other party really knows little Cathy - although little Cathy is sure that she has never met that person.

If that man is really a prophet, then ...... Will Mr. McLean want me to go to France? ”

Little Cathy wondered with a confused expression, but even though she was as smart as an adult, she couldn't figure out what the wizard meant by saying this to her.

The point is that what the other party said really made her feel like she had to believe it.

"Mom, you say...... What's going on? ”

Standing in front of the tomb and looking at the tombstone, little Cathy pursed her lips and muttered in her heart. After a long time, she shook her head and left the wizard's cemetery where her mother was buried.

Outside, the parents, relatives and friends who came here to attend the funeral ceremony are basically still there, waiting for her here.

"What about Mr. McLean?"

Out of suspicion of what the mysterious wizard had just said, little Cathy first searched left and right for Maca and Sirius as soon as she came out. However, the two of them seemed to have already left.

"Oh, they seem to be...... Already gone? ”

When Mrs. Pierce's friend Maggie heard this, she couldn't help but look around. The space of this hillside can be said to be quite open, and this is not visible, but it is obviously gone.

"I think Mr. McLean must have a lot of work to do, especially against that dark wizard. So, it's not easy to find time to visit......"

Maggie may have been worried that little Cathy would be sad about this—after all, the child had just lost his mother, and he was probably still very sensitive in his heart, so she was busy explaining it to her.

But in fact, Maca's busyness really doesn't need her to explain it to little Cathy.

"I know, Aunt Maggie, I can get it." The latter then said softly, "It's okay, I'm just asking by the way." ”

"Oh, that's good! That's good! Maggie said, suddenly turning her head to look at little Cathy's grandparents, "That'...... Want to go home? Or do you want to go somewhere to relax? I think—"

"St. Mungo," little Cathy said immediately, "I want to go back to St. Mungo!" ”

With such a sudden remark, she hurriedly looked at Dean St. Mungo, who was not far away.

"Mr. Bornser, I know there is only so much I can do, but I want to go there and help." "You know, there are still some patients who have been burned by Black Flame who haven't been discharged from the hospital, and I want to see them all healthy again!" ”

"Well......" Bornser said, touching the gray mustache on his chin and considering it carefully, "if it had been according to the rules of the past, it would have been impossible now." However, I can feel the kindness of not wanting others to go through grief in your wishes......"

"Alright! You can come – of course, you have to get permission from your grandparents. ”

Moments later, when little Cathy had gotten approval from her elders and followed Bornser to St. Mungo, Maca was considering whether to meet St. Mungo again.

In fact, he felt as if he had found a very important clue.

But truth be told, with the words of the mysterious wizard in the first place, it was now seen that he was about to meet little Cathy again at St. Mungo.

If it's just a "coincidence", isn't it also a bit "too coincidental"?
