Chapter 1039: "The Down-and-Out Older Unmarried Pure-Blood Witch"
When Lupin, who had walked at the front, followed Higgs down the hallway to an ornate living room, he realized that what they had seen was nothing more than the back door of the Potions Workshop.
No, it's not so much a potions workshop as it is a private house with a potions room owned by Higgs.
Although it looks spacious and beautifully decorated, it still does not change the fact that the house of Miss Higgs is empty.
After all, those pure-blood members who are really rich, powerful, and sophisticated don't just want to stuff a dirty potions workshop into their own home!
Yes, even a female member like Ms. Higgs, who left her parents' home and lived alone, would never do that.
Because that is somewhat humiliating for a "noble pureblood".
"Three, please take a seat!"
Now that he has put aside the face of the choice of Jin Garon, Higgs doesn't seem to be so entangled anymore.
And although she still didn't have the cheekiness to talk to Sirius, if she just talked to Lupin, she could obviously adjust her mood.
In this way, without saying a word, Lupin replaced Mundungus, who was supposed to be in charge of the negotiation, and discussed some matters related to the potion order with Higgs as if in earnest.
Sirius, who was on the side, listened impatiently, and naturally tilted his head and looked around.
Perhaps because he showed an unpleasant attitude towards Higgs from the beginning, Higgs simply turned a blind eye to his current rude behavior.
Half an hour later, after Lupin and Higgs had made an appointment for their next meeting to test the samples, the three of them were finally able to leave the place that was not pleasant.
It wasn't long before they cast a transfiguration outside the real gate and came to a small river not far from Higgs' Potions Workshop.
"Did you find anything?"
Lupin frowned slightly, turned around, looked at the two of them, and asked.
Sirius finally shook his head after silently recalling this. Mondongues, on the other hand, smiled and beckoned Lupin and Sirius closer.
"You didn't pay a second eye to her preparation table as you walked through that potions preparation room?"
When Lupin heard this, he immediately urged:
"What do you see? Don't sell it, let's talk about it! β
"Hey," said Mundungus laughing, "I saw a piece of parchment pressed under a set of test tube racks, with something unappetizing written on itβit must be some pretty powerful black magic to me!" β
Seeing what parchment he mentioned, Sirius was even a spread.
"What about the paper?"
"Nope."
Mundungus spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said:
"Could it be that you really want me to steal it out? When Higgs goes back and takes a look, he won't have to guess to know that it was a few of us! β
"Hmph, it's a shame that you can bear it!" Sirius said disdainfully, "Do you dare to say that your hands weren't itchy at the time?" β
This is not a denigration for Mundungus, on the contrary, he is particularly proud:
"Itchy! I almost couldn't hold back! β
"Alright, let's stop chatting there," Lupin hurriedly waved his hand, "Donger, write down what you remember, and before you forget itβSirius, you should go to Maca's for a while!" β
"Okay."
Sirius nodded knowingly.
β¦β¦
While Mundungus was still lying on the big rock by the river, clutching the quill that Lupin had handed him, in meditation, Maca was still in his room studying the long-destroyed Philosopher's Stone.
A small rune array for testing had been drawn directly on the table in the room, and the dark red gem was placed in the center of the array.
With the smooth input of magic power, the symbols in the array immediately floated around the Philosopher's Stone, rotating and dancing according to the established rules.
However, the Philosopher's Stone did not change in the slightest, and still lay quietly in its original place.
"There is no nature...... No, it shouldn't be detectable in its nature," Maca secretly analyzed in her heart, "Although the Philosopher's Stone is always stable in solids, it can also be converted into liquids and even gases under the same environmental conditions, so ......"
Thinking of the way, he quickly shook his head again.
"No, these materials about the Philosopher's Stone are nothing more than legends and rumors. What the real Philosopher's Stone looks like is only known to Nicol Lemay. β
Sensing that she was thinking in the wrong direction, Maca quickly refuted her conjecture and tried to find a breakthrough from other angles.
"Speaking of which...... Why don't you ask Sarah what she thinks? β
As he thought about it, he suddenly sensed two sources of magic in the corridor outside the room.
These two sources of magic power Maca can be said to be quite familiar, one is the trench coat wizard who has been running around with him lately, and the other who is walking next to him is ...... Is Sirius?
Just as Maca was feeling a little new at the rare combination that came side by side, the two men in the hallway had already walked quickly to the front of his room and reached out and knocked on his door.
"Please come in!"
He removed his left hand, which was still instilling magic into the rune array, and temporarily put away the philosopher's stone, before getting up and walking towards the door.
No way, it would be fine if the trench coat wizard came alone, but if Sirius was there, he probably wouldn't have time to continue his research.
"How did you two meet?" Glancing at Sirius, Maca couldn't help but say to the trench-clad wizard, "Aren't you in class with Hermione and the others...... Oh, and it's class time? β
Since he lived in the secondary fort, the bell for classes at the main fort was naturally inaudible. Seeing that the trench coat wizard nodded, he said again:
"Well, thank you for bringing Sirius over - but you just need to talk to him, he knows this Hogwarts castle better than I do!"
"No, it's not," the trench-clad wizard immediately shook his head, "although we did meet in the foyer, he offered me to show him the way. β
"Oh, is that so?" Maca smiled and said, "Sirius, that's not good! Although she is a woman, even if you feel handsome, you should consider their feelings, right? β
"Okay, okay! I'm just talking, what's wrong! Sirius said this, but turned his head again and gave the trench-clad wizard a few more looks.
ββ¦β¦ Female? β
"Oh, I'm sorry, he can't speak!" Ignoring Sirius, Maca said to the trench-clad wizard, "Go back to Hermione!" After a while, the class will be again, and it will be inconvenient for you to go in. β
It's just that although Sirius took the initiative to ask her to lead the way, she still asked questions from time to time along the way just now. But since she still brought Sirius over, it meant that she had actually guessed that Maca might go out.
In this case, how could she go back again?
"No," said the trench-clad wizard at once, "I'll go to them and explain when I get back, and you can let me stay too...... I mean, if you think I can stay here? β
"Well," Maca thought for a moment, and then said indifferently, "I don't have any opinion, if you want to stay, you can stay." Sirius, let's talk about it! You came here to look for me all of a sudden, what happened? β
Sirius, on the other hand, was still wary of the trench-clad wizard, but since Maca had agreed, he didn't say much.
After all, in the past half a month, Maca has basically allowed this trench-coat wizard to follow him.
"Let's take a look at this first!"
Sirius said as he pulled out a piece of parchment and reached for Maka.
"Lupin and I went out with Donger today, originally looking for a potions workshop that could supply healing potions for a long time - you know, to provide security for the intelligence members below. But when he went to one of Donger's old classmates according to the list, Lupin wanted to find out if there was anything wrong. β
"So where did you find this?"
Maca looked back and forth, and asked with a little puzzlement.
Sirius immediately shook his head and said:
"No, Tonger didn't bring the parchment out to avoid startling the snake. This one he wrote from memory...... What, is there something wrong? β
"Something is wrong...... "Maca shook the paper in her hand and said speechlessly, "what should I say...... At first glance, Tonger's writing looks like some kind of dark magic ritual, but to be honest, I don't really see what I can expect from doing it. To sum it up - I think it's time for Dunge to practice his memory! β
With that, he crumpled the parchment paper in his hand and threw it into the paper basket at the foot of the table with his backhand.
"Let's go!" He waved his hand and said bluntly, "Anyway, you should be able to understand by taking a look...... You say that's Donger's old classmate? Doesn't that mean that the other party was also a Hogwarts student? β
"Slytherin," Sirius pouted, "a 'down-and-out unmarried pure-blood witch', if I had to describe it?" β
"Well, you don't have to say any more," Maka grinned, "I know what kind of person I'm going to be." β
The two of them walked out as they spoke, and the wizard in the trench coat immediately followed behind them, and the three of them quickened their pace and walked straight to the foyer of the main castle.
Not long after, when they crossed the vestibule to the outside of the school gate, they disappeared into the grove by the road.
