Chapter 1011: Hermione is chasing
Mobile reading
"This ...... I can't help it. Please search in Baidu (Pinshu.com)"
In the underground potions preparation room of Black's old house, Hermione stared at the rune array left by Maca for a long time, but finally she turned around and shook her head.
"As Professor Snape just said, this is supposed to be an ancient Phoenician character, and it is a very special variant - as far as the current research of ancient magic literature is concerned, the Phoenician alphabet should not have magical effect, but this variant is a real magic script!"
"Of course, the most tricky thing about this formation is probably another magic script that is the foundation of its structure...... Seriously, I've never seen anything like this...... Such a wonderful script. Just looking at them, I feel like I can hear them talking to me......"
A true scholar is always obsessed with the mystery of knowledge. Just like Hermione right now, after seeing Maca's research on ancient magic literature, her mood is simply self-evident.
Of course, while she was deeply shocked by this rune array, Maca's disappearance still affected her heart. This made her quickly put aside the emotion in her heart for the time being, and started to worry about Maca's whereabouts.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help here."
"It's okay, it's okay," Lupin suddenly stepped forward to reassure, "at least you can make out that there are two kinds of scripts, and Professor Flitwick and I can only stand here stupidly—"
"There's no time for you to laugh at yourself and be frustrated," Snape interrupted suddenly, "and while I still don't think anything big will happen to Maka, the things that need to be done still have to be done. ”
With Snape's usual style, it is natural that they will not be able to see them grinding and chirping here. With that said, he naturally began to assign what to do next.
"Granger, you've studied Maca's magic in the most depth here, so stay here and try to see if you can get that thing out; Professor Flitwick, please go and help Shackel and them search for other clues; As for Lupin, you can take me to the scene and see ......"
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and said at the end as he walked out:
"Probably won't be anything to gain tonight, we'll be here tomorrow night...... Be prepared to use potions instead of sleep for the time being. ”
As Snape walked out of the preparation room door, Lupin and Flitwick shook their heads in staring at each other.
"He's really very capable," the former muttered quietly, "but that always cold-faced and commanding appearance really makes people not like it at all." ”
Flitwick was about to say something, but suddenly Snape's voice came from the hallway outside.
"Lupin, stop grinding and come out! I've got class to go to-"
"If Sirius is here, I'm sure we'll have to fight!" Lupin shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's coming, it's coming......"
……
To be honest, Maca could actually guess the general situation at Black's old mansion now.
Because the impression he leaves on everyone on weekdays has always been relatively calm, and whether that calmness is real or pretended, everyone will not be too nervous in this situation.
It's just that this time, even he didn't expect that Snape would go to the old mansion with him, and the whole search rhythm would be sped up a lot.
For now, of course, it doesn't seem to make a difference to him.
"The key to the abnormal flow of magic in space...... Is it right here? ”
After more than a day and a night of speculation and perception, Maca followed the flow of magic in the air and gradually came to this place.
Coincidentally, this is the same location he had settled in the first place, the interior of the clock room of Big Ben in London.
Looking at the combination of a large number of gears, heavy swings, and long rods, which were also only black, white and gray, Maca stared silently for a moment, but then shook her head again.
Yes, the anomaly of the mana flow does seem to be the most intense here, but it is only slightly different from the outside. And some of the special magical objects he had expected didn't seem to exist at all.
It is a typical Gothic building of the Victorian period, and the whole of the clock, including the clock itself, embodies the intricate, refined, and accurate beauty, and is one of the outstanding works in the history of Muggle architecture.
However, it seems that this is only the only thing he can find from this bell tower.
"What's wrong?"
Suddenly, the dial of the clock made of 312 pieces of white glass is reflected in the gray face of Maca.
And at this moment, the windbreaker wizard, who happened to be walking on the street outside Big Ben, suddenly raised his head. When looking at the huge bell tower from afar, a pair of bright eyes under the brim of the hat revealed complex feelings.
Big Ben has a height of more than 300 feet. At such a distance, even Maca would not have noticed that she was actually looking at another pair of eyes through a layer of opaque glass.
In the same way, the trench coat wizard under the bell tower did not know that at this moment, Maca was on the other side of the dial that he was looking at from afar.
But the thoughts of the two are almost the same.
"What is Helbo's intention in creating this black and white space?"
After staring up silently for a while, the trench-robed wizard turned around again and continued walking down the street. As I walked, the thoughts in my mind continued to change.
Not long after, the figure walking alone on the street shrank little by little as it went away, until it disappeared into the distance of the road.
……
On the other side, Hermione, who had been pondering all night under Black's old mansion, finally reluctantly threw the manuscript paper at hand aside.
Truth be told, the Black family is a pure-blood wizard family that has lasted for many generations, and the sheer volume of books here alone is not to be underestimated.
Here, Hermione rummaged through documents related to Phoenician characters, including translations left by wizards hundreds of years ago.
However, after all, it still did not leave the category of ordinary Phoenician letters, and it was of little help to the study of the Phoenician scripts used in the rune array of Maca.
Throughout the night, Hermione had gained something, but it was better than nothing.
"Hermione, it's almost dawn, so you'd better go back to Hogwarts first! At this time, I should be able to sleep for a little more when I go back......"
Suddenly, Lupin's voice sounded behind him.
Hermione looked at the mess of manuscript paper on the table, then looked back at Lupin, and nodded silently.
She really wanted to work hard, but she also knew that what was currently in front of her could not be accomplished by hard work alone.
Besides, she really should go back - Harry, they don't know that yet!
"Lupin, I'll ...... tomorrow Oh, I mean, you can come over tonight, can you? Hermione whispered, "You know, I'd like to try again—I remember there seemed to be some magical material in Maca's office. ”
"Really?" Lupin thought for a moment and said, "It should be fine, but you have to remember to take some time to rest, after all, it is not good to just use potions like sobering potions." ”
"yes, I see."
It wasn't long before Lupin sent her back to Hogwarts, where he saw her in before leaving on her own. And until this time, the sky has not really lit up.
A few of them stayed up all night or something, obviously it was not a big deal, and it was a common thing for Lupin. But when Hermione was still growing up, she was not as lacking in heart as Snape, and Lupin felt that she could still be a good father.
Probably because of the relationship with Tonks that has been getting better and better recently! This guy finally began to secretly think about how many children should he have in the future......
As for Hermione, after returning to the dormitory after studying the ancient magic texts for a night, although she had already felt tired, she still did not feel the slightest sleep.
Waiting until the sky dawned outside the window, she couldn't lie down anymore, so she turned over and got out of bed, got dressed, and rushed to the stairs of the boys' dormitory.
"Bang!"
"Get up! Harry, Ron, Neville...... Hurry up! ”
It was the prerogative of ladies to break into the boys' bedrooms, and for Hermione, it was no less than a matter of pulling Harry and them out of bed early in the morning.
"I have something to tell you, so hurry up...... Yes! Ron, you're ......."
I don't know if I saw something I shouldn't have seen, and Harry, who was still in a daze with his eyes closed, heard Hermione suddenly let out a low cry.
"Anyway, get dressed and come to the common room!"
"Bang!"
It was only after the sound of the door slamming shut that Harry struggled to open his eyelids and look up at the bed opposite.
Immediately he saw that Ron was pitifully hugging his body, and his quilt had already been lifted to the floor beside him.
"It's good that she ripped off your quilt first," Harry said, "Ron, how did you sleep naked?" ”
"What bare! I'm still wearing panties, okay! Ron immediately defended himself, and then said, "Isn't it getting warmer......?"
"Hey," Harry pouted, "just wait for Hermione's cold face for the next few days!" That's a lot colder than the weather! ”
About an hour later, Harry and the others, who had heard what Hermione had heard about her experience last night, also walked to the auditorium with the other students.
Harry's schadenfreude to Ron in the morning was now completely overshadowed by a lot of preoccupations, and he no longer had the heart to laugh at Ron.
However, as they passed through the foyer and entered the side door of the Great Hall, Luna, who had arrived a little earlier than them, suddenly looked up from the Ravenclaw table and looked at the slightly dull faces of Harry and the others.
