“…… Lo and behold, this is our school's Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom! That's right, it's a little curvature in the vertical, isn't it weird and interesting? ”

Towards noon, Maca, who had accompanied the two Hohenheim siblings on a morning of enjoying the natural scenery near Hogwarts, was walking with them in the corridor on the fourth floor of the main castle.

To be honest, today, he, the "tour guide", can be regarded as dutiful, leading the brother and sister around from the inside out. Of course, you can't finish it, even if it takes a few weeks, because even Maca, who has lived in this castle for several years, can't say that she has visited every place.

But after all, he was leading the guests to visit Hogwarts and experience the environment here, so he still had to do his best.

"Go all the way in from here, and you'll be in the Charms classroom just around the corner," Maca pointed casually into the hallway as she walked ahead, "but ...... Well, in a little while it will almost be lunchtime. Let's go to the left-hand side of the aisle and take another look, just enough to go downstairs......"

"Whoa—"

The fat young master was following Maca to look around curiously, and he heard a buzzing noise coldly. Then, he noticed that in a painting on the right wall, a guy with a big tongue suddenly howled at this side.

"McLean, you promised to invite us to a drink last time! When will it be cashed in—"

When Maca, who was walking in front, heard this, she shook her head helplessly and turned around.

"Brother Anna, I'm visiting Hogwarts with a guest!" He waved his hand at the portrait and said, "Wait, I'll get you some good wine next time......

"Oops! Aren't we in a hurry! The monk in the portrait said drunkenly, "Since the last time the fat lady and her friend Violet came and drank all our wine, we have had a hard time......

Before he could finish his sentence, several other monks chimed in.

"Alright!" Maca looked at him speechlessly, "You guys are hard, and others are not comfortable!" I remember that day when the fat lady went back, she immediately changed the password to "quit drinking" in the Gryffindor common room, causing a few junior students to blow the cold wind in the hallway for most of the night! ”

After that, he stopped talking nonsense, and immediately beckoned the fat man and Sarah to continue walking.

"What's wrong with them?" The fat man asked, and at the same time turned his head several times in a row, "Do you feel uncomfortable without drinking for a day?" ”

Maca then smiled and spread her hands.

"What do you think?" "The name of the painting is 'The Drunken Monk,' and it's full of literal drunkards, and the other people in the painting come here and sit down if they want to drink. In this way, isn't there not enough wine for them to drink? ”

"Hmm...... Understandable, understandable! ”

The fat man smiled, but Sarah, who had rarely spoken, snorted softly beside him, which surprised him with a cold sweat on his forehead.

When Maca saw it, she couldn't help but smile.

"Let's take a look over here! Hogwarts Castle's rather famous armor corridor—" he led the two of them to the left, then stretched out his hand to gesture, "The armor here is all infused with ancient magic, especially the two-handed swords in their hands, which wield with enough power to slash giants. In the previous Hogwarts defense battles, they also made a lot of efforts! ”

In this long corridor with a row of windows, the light falls obliquely to the ground through the window openings, and the knights' armor standing upright against the wall with their swords looks imposing. The brothers and sisters of the Hohenheim family followed Maca and couldn't help but feel a bit solemn.

"At the end of this hallway is the prize showroom," Marka said, gesturing to the end, "though I'd like to invite you to go in and have a look, but Filch, the caretaker, has locked it since a student ran in the middle of the night to take a spin...... But that's okay, today I'm going to show you a little Hogwarts secret. ”

He beckoned the two of them to continue walking a few steps, then pointed to another two-meter-tall portrait on the wall and said, "In our school, there are various special places that are hidden, and this is one of them. ”

At this point, he paused for a moment before turning to the dazed-looking male wizard in the painting, "Forget-Me-Never." ”

"Don't forget who?"

Before he could finish speaking, the portrait squeaked and flipped aside as the wizard in the portrait replied in a confused voice.

This time, Sarah, who had never given much face to Maca lately, finally raised her eyebrows slightly, tilting her head to look at the dim passage that appeared behind the portrait.

"Secret passage?" She blinked, "Mr. McLean, you're doing this...... Aren't you afraid that Lady McGonagall will trouble you? ”

"No, no, it's okay here," Maka said with a smile, "There are indeed many secret passages at Hogwarts, and many of them need to be kept secret, but they don't include this one...... Come with me! ”

After casually explaining, he took the brother and sister directly into this relatively spacious secret passage. Fortunately, the width and height of this sloping downward passage are sufficient, otherwise the fat young master of the Hohenheim family may not be able to walk in.

After a while, when they came out of the other end of the passage, they were already in another familiar hallway.

"Remember? I've brought you here before......" Maka gestured to the door on the side of the exit, "This is Professor Slughorn's office...... That's right, it's a shortcut back to the third floor, opposite the stairs down the stairs, so we can walk a lot less. ”

Speaking of which, this morning's time, except for the unavoidable teaching time, the rest of his leisure was basically spent wandering around with the two brothers and sisters. Although this may sound like a waste of life, if you think about it, you can understand that it is necessary for both public and private purposes.

In terms of scenes, the background of the Hohenheim family has always been not to be underestimated. Especially when the alchemy competition is about to be held, it is not unimportant to have a good relationship with the judges' families.

And if you look at it from a personal point of view, this mysterious genius girl of the Hohenheim family is even more worthy of Maca's more energy to try.

And now it seems that Sarah is at least somewhat interested in these little secrets.

But at this moment, three acquaintances suddenly came to the staircase opposite, and looking at their hurried appearance, it seemed that there was something important.

"Harry? Is there something wrong with running in such a hurry? ”

Maca was the first to notice them, so she didn't wait for a few of them to notice her, so she asked first.

"Oh! Maca, I've finally found you! Hermione immediately turned around, "Harrytha last night...... Ah, are you taking guests on a tour of the school? ”

"yes!" Maca nodded, and then keenly noticed that there was something wrong with the expressions of the three of them, "Noah, Sarah...... Do you remember how to go to the auditorium? Wait at the staircase on the right to turn around, and then follow it to the foyer, just in time! There's something going on on my side......"

"Don't worry, Sarah remembers the way." The little girl looked at Hermione and the others, and then said politely, "Mr. Potter, Miss Granger, Mr. Weasley, good afternoon...... Presumably, you have something urgent to find Mr. McLean, so Sarah and her brother will not bother you. ”

After speaking, she tugged on the fat man's sleeve and went directly to the stairs.

"Oh—what a sensible child!" Hermione walked up to Maca, looked at Sarah's back and sighed, "And she looks so cute......"

"yes, extra sensible!" Maca chimed in meaningfully, and then continued to ask, "Are you looking for me?" What happened to Harry last night? ”

He could tell that there was a preoccupation in Harry's expression, and Ron's face wasn't much better. As for Hermione, although she was still as calm as ever, there was a lot of seriousness in her tone when she spoke just now.

It all sent him a message that something not so rosy had happened last night.

Sure enough, when Hermione whispered the dream Harry was talking about, Maca's brow furrowed slightly.

"I see...... Since the Occlumency is still effective, it is not a big problem, it should be that you are a little too stressed during this time. He said, musing for a moment, then turning to say, "Harry, do you remember...... What is the voice of the person you heard in your dream? ”

"Voice?" Harry recalled for a moment, "No, I'm not sure...... The voice was so far and close that it was hard to tell what the other person was saying......"

"Really?" Maca thought for a moment and asked again, "What do you think...... Could that be like Dumbledore's voice? ”

"Professor Dumbledore!" When Harry heard this, he was stunned and said, "This ...... I don't know, but the sound does feel a little familiar to me. Now listen to what you say......"

Maca pondered it again, and couldn't help but confirm some of her guesses.

"Well, I already know that," he advised, "don't worry, just keep going of what you need to do, and pay attention to the state of Occlumency." And then...... Harry, remember the book Professor Dumbledore left you? Go back and read it carefully, I'm sure it will come in handy later! ”

"What about us?" Ron hurriedly asked.

"You guys?" Maca shrugged her shoulders with a smile and said lightly, ". LS Exam Now! Is there anything more important than that? ”

With that, he turned around and paced slowly towards the stairs, but his expression when he turned his back to the three of them became a little solemn.
