Chapter 492: Paradox and Deception

When Maca saw Snape's wand light up suddenly, he thought of a spell shooting at him, and about Hermione.

He thought that the spell might be control magic, it might be interference, and he was even ready to break the require spell.

But he never imagined that Snape's spell would be a universal counterspell.

The so-called universal anti-spell is a kind of anti-spell that has a wide range of applicability, but can only terminate a part of the effect of the evil spell. If a wizard doesn't know how to crack a common spell, he will try it with that spell.

Now Snape used the spell, and what he lifted was the magic rope and the silence spell on Hermione. Because of this, it made Maca, who reacted quickly, hesitate for a moment.

It was at this moment that the experienced Snape grasped it firmly in his hands. Instead of attempting to attack Hermione or Maca, he made another move that Maca didn't expect.

With a distortion of space, Snape decisively disappeared in front of the two of them, without the slightest hesitation.

Although Snape may know exactly how far Maca's magical strength is, he can't just leave, and the meaning behind his phantom transformation spell makes Maca can't help but be silent for a while.

Obviously, Snape didn't want to do anything with him, and for Snape, holding Hermione hostage was probably the last bottom line in his heart. In the face of this student, who made his critical self feel very satisfied, he couldn't wave the wand in his hand at all.

In the current world, Snape is probably the only one who can do this.

“…… Maca? Hermione climbed out of bed and rubbed her wrist as she whispered, "Thank you for coming to my rescue...... How do you know? ”

When Maca heard the voice, she put away the complicated emotions that were lingering in her heart and smiled slightly at Hermione.

"It's more complicated," he said casually, "but even if I don't come, you'll be fine......

"How could it be! You don't know, Snape surprised me when he suddenly appeared in front of me! Looking at his cold face, I thought he was going to kill me! When she said this, Hermione looked so scared, it seemed that she was really frightened.

"Anyway, it's gone—"

Before Maca finished speaking, her face suddenly changed, and her heart jumped even more.

"What's wrong?" Hermione said strangely.

"No, hmm...... Let me think about it......" Maka shook her head, "let me think about it." ”

With that, he sat down on the edge of Hermione's bed, his chin propped up in deep thought. Seeing that he was fine just now, but now he suddenly changed to a solemn expression, Hermione suddenly didn't dare to disturb him anymore.

Maca groaned silently, her brows furrowed tightly, as if she had encountered some big problem; Hermione, on the other hand, was also sitting on the edge of her bed, looking at Maca beside her, her cheeks slightly flushed.

How could she have imagined that Maca would sit on her bed and share her room with her one day? Although there was nothing beautiful about it, it also made Hermione's face blush and her heart beat for a while.

Not to mention that Hermione's side is full of girlish feelings, but Maca's side has really encountered a big problem.

According to his original speculation, his meeting with Snape this time should not change the facts he saw last time. This is a conclusion inferred from the so-called "restraint rule".

He thought there was nothing wrong with this rule, because it was proved by his own actions. If there is no restraint in the rules of time, what was the last time Voldemort's soul left his body early? What was the situation in which he was forced to make a move?

But now that Snape and Hermione were indeed separated, the reality he had seen would no longer happen. Perhaps, Snape will come back later? And then he Maca gave Hermione to Snape honestly?

Such a ridiculous thing is impossible to happen no matter how you think about it.

So, what does this mean?

"Paradox!"

Maca chewed on this strange and familiar word secretly, but a chill couldn't help but rise behind it.

He'd come to Hermione's house this time because he had heard some truth from his last trip back in time. But if it continues like this, the last self won't be able to get this clue.

And if he didn't get a clue, would he still run to Hermione's house?

No one could tell him what the consequences would be if he caused a paradox in a journey through time and space. All he knew was that there had been several wizards in history who had completely disappeared due to the misuse of the space-time converter.

Knowing that there would be a lot of risk, he could no longer look at the matter from a researcher's point of view. Because he understands that this is completely gambling on his life, and there is a high probability that he will lose himself.

Obviously, in the face of the rules of time, his power is still very small. If you still stubbornly hold on in this situation, it is not self-confidence but mental retardation.

"The Sorting Hat can see it! I'm a Hufflepuff through and through......" Maca sighed, then turned to look at the girl beside her, "Hermione, I need you to do me a favor." ”

"Ahhh ”

“…… Be a liar with me! ”

Maca laughed as she spoke, the expression on her face was rather weird, like a wry smile mixed with some other emotion, which couldn't help but make Hermione even more confused.

……

The backtracking time was only five hours, and it didn't take long for the sky to dawn. And just as the blizzard became more and more violent again, a moment of spatial distortion suddenly appeared in a snow field near Hogwarts. The next moment, a pair of familiar figures appeared out of thin air.

The pair stood there without saying a word, their heads slightly raised, staring silently at Hogwarts Castle not far away.

It was Snape and Hermione—or rather, Snape's Maca and Hermione.

Speaking of which, there are really not a few people who have deceived Maca in his life, but this time he is going to deceive himself.

As a little liar who used to use deceptive skills to mix up and eat, Maca knows very well in her heart - sometimes, she is the most difficult person to deceive, because it is the stupidest act to deceive herself; But sometimes, you are the best person to deceive, because the person who knows you best is often yourself.

Not to mention, today's unheard-of scam actually has a script in hand that will definitely succeed.

"Can't see it?" Maca looked up at the front and said secretly in her heart, "That's right, at this point in time, that soul river is almost at the end. ”

Although I can't see the winding river of souls, I can see myself standing on the snowy slope in front of me, the self who has not yet experienced the backtracking of time.

It's not been too long since she'd witnessed this, and Maca knows exactly what to do next. By the time he had left with the portkey, it was time for him and Hermione to get moving.

At this moment, he was waiting quietly, and so was Hermione beside him.

Maca had told Hermione the whole process beforehand, and in order to make sure that nothing went wrong, he deliberately followed the script to correct the lines. With Hermione's cleverness, the chances of screwing up are very slim.

Besides, this time the starring role is still himself, and most of the time, Hermione only needs to memorize the lines.

Soon, as the portkey was activated, the self disappeared into the distorted space. And it was at this moment that Maca took the first step and walked slowly forward.

When Hermione beside him saw her, she hurriedly followed.

In the past, in this world where Maca existed, Buckbeak was saved by Maca, and Sirius and Harry were not besieged by the Dementors. However, the incident where Hermione applied for a time turner to be used to aid learning still happened.

For Hermione, it is not difficult to understand what Maca revealed to her before.

Of course, in order not to affect Hermione's mood, Maca did not tell her about the disaster that was about to happen at Hogwarts.

At the moment, when Hermione looked at the "old maca", she still had some doubts in her heart - why did maca look weird at that time?

In the moment when the two people with their own thoughts walked forward without saying a word, they left two clear footprints behind them. And these two series of footprints gradually covered up the traces in the wanton wind and snow.

At that moment, a sudden crackling sound resounded throughout the mountain, and at the same time brought a signal for Maca to take the next action.

When Maca led Hermione over the snowy slope in front of her, she was surprised to see Harry and Ron.

"Stop!"

Although she didn't know the specific reason from Maca, Hermione knew that the person who Maca wanted her to deceive had appeared.

Yes, because she couldn't tell Hermione the truth, Maca changed some parts of the plan. Hermione didn't know at the moment that the person she was really trying to deceive was the other Maca who was standing somewhere behind her!

It's a confusing hoax, from start to finish.

"Don't go any further," Marca said coldly, learning Snape's obnoxious tone, "what if...... If you don't want to die yet. ”

He hadn't heard it, but he knew it was time to stop Harry and Ron. As for what kind of words Snape would use to stop others, isn't it simple?
