"Bang!"

The door of Black's old mansion was pushed open with a force that was extremely brutal, and slammed into the wall.

"Ahh This is our Black family house, are you trying to tear it down......"

Sirius's mother shouted again.

Of course, Lu Ping, who was discussing the recent cases in the reception room, also heard it, and they all left their seats with doubts and ran into the foyer.

"Maca? You...... What's wrong with you? It's okay......"

When she saw Maca staggering inside, Mrs. Weasley hurried up to meet her, reaching out and holding Maca's arm.

"Hmm...... It's okay, leave me alone. ”

With her feeble hand, Maca gently pushed Mrs. Weasley away, then reached out again, and two stiff figures suddenly appeared behind him and fell to the floor of the foyer.

"Lupin, intensify interrogation...... They're the wizards who dispense the potion......"

"This ...... Feed! Do you ......" Lupin didn't move, he just stared solemnly at Maca's lowered face, "you drank that potion yourself?" ”

"It's annoying...... Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and take it for interrogation. ”

Maca shook her head, trying to make herself more conscious, but she almost fell because of another shake in her vision. Mrs. Weasley hurriedly held him up again.

"Answer me!" Lupin still didn't move, and his stubble face became a little more resolute, "Did you drink that potion yourself?" Is it true that only those who have drunk it can find the right place? ”

"Ah...... yes, that's right...... That's it. Maca couldn't resist him, so she replied irritably.

"Why not let someone else do it? Or, just go find a victim ......" seemed to feel a little wrong, and Lupin paused, but continued, "Otherwise, it would be okay to let Kingsley lead the way, wouldn't it?" If I were him, I would be willing to do it! ”

"Impossible......" Maca slowly closed her eyes and said dryly, "I have to do this myself...... Otherwise......"

"What's going on? Maka, what are you doing this for? Mrs. Weasley asked excitedly.

"For what...... Is it? Maca said dreamily, "For what?" Probably...... I think I'm responsible for this......

"Responsibility?" Of course, Lupin didn't understand, and the answer wasn't enough for him to accept, "No matter what it's for, even if it's for everyone, you shouldn't do it!" ”

"You know, for the Order of the Phoenix now, you, Marca McLean, are very important! You shouldn't be so reckless! ”

At this point, Lupin paused.

"I mean, this doesn't look like you at all, does it?"

Hearing this, Maca shook her head slightly, looking a little lonely.

"Ah, you know what?" He said leisurely, "The Sorting Hat is really powerful! You can see through the essence of a person at once......"

"What?" Lupin subconsciously cast a puzzled look at him.

"I mean, I don't have the courage of Gryffindor." Maca chuckled, "Hmm...... Actually, I'm scared! I was so scared of losing someone important that I wanted to hide and cry secretly; I'm scared...... I don't want to make any friends. ”

"Only then can I be this 'Macla McKellen' well, and I can face the world rationally."

"However, since I entered Hogwarts, I have people to respect and friends to make friends to make of...... I also have girls I really like......"

"So, I'm a coward, I'm getting scared more and more."

Hearing such words from Maca's mouth, everyone present had the feeling of knowing him for the first time.

To be honest, in the past, Maca gave the impression to the people around her was nothing more than some "magical genius", "more like an adult than an adult", or even "Dumbledore's heir...... Something like that.

But that's just a series of affirmations of his abilities.

As for the person "Macka McLean" itself, there is no more accurate understanding.

It was only when they heard him confide in their hearts for the first time that everyone really felt that no matter how strong and talented he was, he was actually still an ordinary person with troubles, weaknesses, and even fears.

"Haha......" Lupin laughed coldly, "Hey, I said...... Is it the little girl from the Lovegood family? ”

"Huh?"

Maca, leaning against Mrs. Weasley, struggled to lift her head.

"I mean, is the girl you really like that little girl from Lovegood?" Lupin repeated with a smile.

"Hmm......" Maka said, waving her hand, "yes! Shouldn't everyone know about this? ”

"That's a nice girl, weird cute." Mrs. Weasley quipped.

"Oh, that's what I think too—" Lupin's face changed halfway through, "Hey! You are so reckless this time, is it because she has been involved in this case? ”

"No, no, it's not." "It's not Luna, it's a friend of mine—my most important friend!" ”

"That's ......"

"Lupin, don't ask...... You quickly take them down for interrogation, and I'm going to deal with it...... You know. ”

Maca firmly interrupted Lupin's questioning, then beckoned to Leni and Lena, who were standing aside.

"Mrs. Weasley, can you help deliver a secret letter to Professor Snape? Thank you. He said, "I'm all right here, just let the two of them help me up." ”

"Mr. McLean, please be careful."

The Leni Lena sisters helped Maca to the study.

Along the way, Lena was the same as ever; But Leni, who has always been chattering, is also silent, which is a bit abnormal.

"Lenny, what's wrong?"

When Maca sat down on the couch, he asked the little girl.

"Oops...... It's nothing, Bastard Maca......" Lenny looked away unnaturally, "That...... Are you okay? ”

"It's rare that you can care about me," Maca smiled, "It's okay, okay, you guys go out first!" ”

"The ......"

"It's fine." Maca patted her head and repeated it earnestly.

"Okay......"

After that, Leni took her sister's hand and dragged out of the study.

When the door was gently closed by Lena, Maca immediately took a deep breath, then turned out a stack of records and spread them out on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

"Hallucinogenic potions...... he pondered as he flipped through the materials, "No, it's not so much a potion as it is to exert the effect of the 'Enigmatic Crystal Flower' as efficiently as possible." ”

"Judging by the formulas detected, this intent is obvious...... Also, there are some paradoxical things that seem to be mistakes made by students. ”

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile a little.

"Willy, this guy is really not good at potions......"

But at this moment, he suddenly snorted.

"Hmm...... Moonstone powder, which was originally used to calm emotions and keep people calm, actually makes the ingredients of the Mystery Crystal Flower more adhesive...... Is it a coincidence that it happened because of a mistake? Willy: Is this a blind cat running into a dead mouse? ”

He was alone in his study analyzing potions, trying to find an antidote that would remove the potions' effects.

Although he relied on his tenacity and strong willpower to force himself to stay awake, this state did not last long after all.

And once you really sink into the hallucination, it is difficult to come to your senses again.

After more than thirty minutes, the door to the study suddenly opened, and Snape strode in as he had always done.

"Are you a Flober caterpillar? Drinking that kind of thing yourself—" he scolded unceremoniously with a gloomy face, "no, the Flober caterpillars are better than you, at least they can sleep except for eating...... You kid, you don't even dare to sleep now, do you? ”

The quill in Maca's hand paused, then looked up with difficulty.

"Don't say that, the Flober caterpillar is a great ......," he said with a feeble smile.

"There's still strength to talk nonsense, it looks like it can hold out at least for a while......"

Snape pulled the piles of materials on the couch to the floor, then sat down, snatched the stack of papers in front of Maca, and hurriedly flipped through them.

After a while, I saw him shake the paper in his hand, and his face was obviously worse.

"What is this? Can this be called a 'magic potion'? Is the guy who made this recipe looking down on Potions? He said angrily, "If this is a student in my Potions class, zero points!" ”

"Oh, it's not easy, I'm still working hard......" Maca leaned back on the couch and waved her hand softly.

He didn't want to tell Snape that the maker of the potion was probably a student in his class!

"This potion can have this effect, it's basically all the credit of the Mystery Crystal Flower, isn't it?" Snape tossed the information in his hand in front of Maca, "As for the antidote, there should be nothing wrong with your thoughts......

As he spoke, he pulled a new piece of paper, picked up a quill, and began to write.

"I'm in charge of the chain reaction and anti-magic formulas, and you continue to do your pharmacological reversal...... Let's get moving! You're running out of time, kid, aren't you? ”

"It looks like I'm going to die soon, and the flag can't be erected......"

Maka muttered lazily as she took another breath and leaned over to continue writing.

Suddenly, the study was quiet again, save for the rustle of the tip of the quill against the paper, and the sound of Maca's heavy breathing.

Outside the window, the darkness grew thicker, and it was a night without moon or stars.
