Chapter 1094: The Muggle Who Ran Away
ββ¦β¦ Remember, the Browns...... Well, it's mainly the death of Kristen Brown, don't talk about it in front of the kids! β
After reminding Luna, Slughorn said goodbye to her and Madam Pomfrey, before turning and leaving down the hallway.
And Madam Pomfrey naturally has something to do - in addition to the potions that the school hospital will use on weekdays, other relatively simple healing supplies are prepared by herself, except for some of the potions professors who will provide them.
Over the years, the reason why there has been a rare shortage of medicines in the school hospital is due to Madam Pomfrey's constant replenishment on a daily basis.
However, as Luna watched the two of them go away, she hesitated to glance at the door of the closed ward.
"Of course I know I shouldn't say that, but ...... They seem to have overheard it themselves? β
Just as Luna muttered softly at the moment, Slughorn had repeatedly told Madam Pomfrey and Luna not to let Candace and Kevin know the actual situation. However, most of what he said had already been heard by the two children hiding behind the door.
Madam Pomfrey and Slughorn certainly didn't notice this, but Luna, who was now able to sense magic, easily noticed the two lurking behind the door.
"Mr. and Mrs. Brown...... Kristen Brown ......"
At this moment, Candace was still in a state of surprise, and some unspoken words came out of her mouth one after another.
"Kevin, 'Brown' is the surname of my cousin's family, and 'Kristen Brown' is my brother's wife. But how could it be...... How could she die? Why? β
Candace obviously doesn't have a very practical idea of the meaning of death, but after experiencing the sewer crisis before, she at least understands the horror of death.
So, How did Charles's cousin's wife die?
What the male voice outside just said was true or false? If it's false, it's nothing, but if what the person says is true......
"Could it be that there was actually Sister Christine who came to save us with Brother Charles at that time?"
Candace had just pulled Kevin to the back of the door, just to hear if Luna hadn't left yetβto be honest, she was still thinking about the snacks in Luna's pocket!
Unexpectedly, this act triggered by greed made her and Kevin hear a big event that was far beyond expectations.
Just as Candace was surprised by the news of Christine's death, Kevin on the side couldn't help but be a little stunned, and then asked in a low voice:
"Didn't you hear a lot about the wizarding world from your cousin? You know...... What exactly is the 'Oblivion Curse' that person just mentioned? β
After Kevin's words, Candace finally came back to her senses temporarily. But for the other party's question, she could only shake her head gently after some recollection.
"Actually, Brother Charles didn't talk to me much, after all, since he became a wizard, we have seen each other less and less."
In fact, while the International Secrecy Act does not restrict Muggle-born wizards from identifying themselves to their relatives, information about the wizarding world is, in principle, as little as possible.
Because every wizard understands that if their Muggle relatives are careless about the wizard's affairs, it will only be the wizard himself who will be punished!
But at this moment, with a soft "click", the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Candace and Kevin subconsciously took two steps back, followed by a hurried run to their respective beds.
"Don't be nervous, it's me-"
Luna slipped in carefully through the crack in the door and closed the door again.
"I know, you've heard what the professor said......" she waved at the Candace, who had already climbed into bed, with a reassuring smile on her face, "No matter what others think, I think you all have at least the right to know the facts." β
Candace was relieved when she saw that it was the beautiful blonde big sister she had before. It's just that as for Luna's words, she didn't know how to answer for a while.
Anyway, she is only in her early teens this year, and even if she already has her own opinions, she can't express them well.
Not to mention, although Luna's words are not much, they always contain some deep meaning inexplicably.
Kevin, who was on the next bed, nodded slightly after hearing this.
"Excuse me, Miss Lovegood...... Did the 'Forgetting Spell' mentioned by that gentleman just refer to it mean literally? β
"Oh yes - it's the spell that erases memories." Luna blinked, "Because according to the laws of the wizarding world, many things cannot be known to Muggles...... Well, 'Muggles' refer to ordinary people who don't know magic, like people like you. β
"'A lot of things'?" Kevin immediately asked, "What's the ...... What are those things? β
Hearing this, Luna pointed to the surroundings with her hand, shrugged her shoulders and said:
"Everything you see now is part of 'a lot of things' - this is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, one of those places where Muggles can't be allowed to know. With the exception of the wizard's closest family, all other Muggles who came here would eventually have their memories erased. β
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but tilt her head and added in a low voice:
"Personally, though, I don't think it's a good idea."
Just as Luna was expressing her opinion, Candace couldn't help but agree:
"I don't want to forget all about my time here! Especially you, sister - you are already my friend, how can I forget my friend! β
"Oh, 'friend'!" Luna said happily, "I love that word!" β
Before the words fell, she suddenly leaned between the two beds, lowered her voice and said:
"I have an idea! If you don't want to forget this 'important' memory, I'm going to take you to meet someone...... I think he'll be able to help you! β
"Who is it?" Candace hurriedly asked, "Is it Brother Charles?" β
But Luna immediately shook her head.
"No, it's MackaβMarca McClain, a very powerful wizard!"
β¦β¦
Moments later, Luna led the two Muggle children and slipped out of the hospital room lightly.
As she left the hallway of the school hospital, she used a silencer to silence the footsteps of the three of them, so that Madam Pomfrey, who was preparing potions materials in the office, did not notice that they had quietly left.
It's just that it wasn't that difficult to get out of the ward, and it didn't seem so easy to get all the way to the subfort where Maca was located without being discovered.
Fortunately, at this point, except for students like her, who just happened to be unscheduled, most of the students and professors were in the classroom.
Luna and the two children were seen bending over and cautiously passing under the window next to the classroom, and the journey was quite thrilling.
Fortunately, after the efforts of the three of them, they still came to Maca's door without danger.
However, just as Luna reached for a knock on the door, she heard the deadbolt of the door twitch slightly, and the door opened on its own.
Needless to say, as early as the three of them sneaked up into this hallway, Maca in the room had already noticed their arrival.
"Maca?"
Luna peeked through the crack in the open door, looked left and right, and after confirming that Maca was the only one in the room, beckoned the two children behind her to come in together.
"Are you going to come to me to steal something? How do you sneak around like a thief? β
Maca, who was analyzing the blood sample in the test tube on the other side of the desk, asked without looking back, which made Candace and Kevin, who were following Luna's buttocks, suddenly feel a little weak.
Of course, in addition to the reason for sneaking out of the ward, the two of them were more unsettled about the layout of Maca's room.
Obviously, any place that is used as a private area by maca will be filled with piles of books and materials because of their usual access. Not to mention, he had a special space in this room that could be used as a potions preparation table.
Right now, the flask rack in front of him, which was used to analyze the basilisk's blood samples, was emitting a large amount of cyan mist, covering the ceiling of the entire room.
In the air, there was a faint smell of a slightly choking separator.
Hearing Luna call to herself, Maca turned slightly around as she pushed the stirring glass rod into the cleaning box next to her.
"What's wrong?" He was a little puzzled, "Why did you bring the two of them to me?" β
However, Luna did not answer Maca's question immediately. I saw that her gaze first rested on Maca's arm for a moment, and then raised her head and said:
"Oh, actually...... I'm looking for you to do them both a favor! β
As she was talking, Luna paused for a moment, and then deliberately said:
"I won't delay you for too long, and besides, Candace and Kaymon are already my friends - I'm sure you and them will soon be friends too!"
The Muggle boy on the side heard it and couldn't help but whisper a reminder beside her:
"It's Kevin."
"Oh, really?" Luna said nonchalantly, "yes, Macaβit's Kevin!" β
But as she spoke, her eyes suddenly moved to Maca's arm, as if she was concerned about what was on it.
Seeing this, Maca also glanced down. The shrunken basilisk was still quietly wrapped around his arm, his eyes covered with a dense layer of magical mist, making it impossible to see his deadly vertical pupils.
"Don't worry," he smiled, "it's just a snake." β
