Chapter 102: Object of Suspicion
Stayed until midnight, and Hermione still didn't wake up. Maple just thought about things like that, and didn't know when she fell asleep.
Then Maple also experienced the feeling of Professor McGonagall at the beginning, standing and falling asleep, which may not be a big deal for a bat that can fall asleep while hanging upside down, but it is different for Maple of Animagus.
Sleeping in an indecent position is doubly harmful to the body.
When Maple woke up the next day, his body was stiff and unable to move, and he fell headlong down, but instead of landing, he was caught by a pair of soft hands.
Hermione seemed to have been awake for a long time, and had been sitting at the head of her bed staring at Maple since she had woken up.
It took a while for Maple to finally recover and be able to move again.
"It's great that you're awake!" After Maple changed back to his original form, he immediately said happily.
"Did you stay with me last night?" Hermin said movingly, and in the way she looked at Maple, there was a hint of inexplicable meaning in her eyes.
"yes, I don't know when I fell asleep, I forgot to go back, and now my feet are numb." Maple said with a bitter face, but this expression was fleeting, and he quickly changed his expression to a smile and said, "By the way, you've been in a coma for so long, come and eat something!" β
Saying that, Maple pulled out a handful of candy from his pocket, needless to say, this guy snuck away to Duke Honey in Hogsmeade yesterday.
"By the way, there's this, you'll be covered when you're discharged from the hospital in a while." Maple said, giving Hermione an opaque pink silk scarf.
"What are you giving me this for?" Hermione asked, puzzled, and then continued with a frown, "And the color of this silk scarfβ"
"Don't you like it?" Maple asked.
"This color is so special, can you change it to another color?" Looking at the ruddy look on Hermione's face, Maple immediately understood.
It's a bit too eye-catching, so let's change to a black one. If it weren't for the fact that the scar was too long, wearing a mask would be more appropriate and less noticeable.
Maple used a wand to a simple color-changing spell, and the pink silk scarf immediately turned black.
"You haven't told me why you want me to bring a silk scarf?" Hermione said again.
"Silence!" Maple cast a silent spell on the door of the hospital room, this time taking out the mirror for Hermione to look at herself.
"Ahh Sure enough, women in any world and place are very concerned about their appearance, and after seeing the ugly scar on her face that cannot be erased, Hermione immediately couldn't help but scream.
Maple's silent spell was prescient, and he comforted Hermione for a long time, and told her that Professor Sprout's mandrake could heal her scars when it matured, and Hermione's mood gradually stabilized.
Hermione seems to be a strong character on the outside and soft on the inside, if Wu Zetian encounters this kind of thing, the first thing he must think of is revenge and double the damage he received, but Hermione, after so long, has not even mentioned revenge.
It was only after she was discharged from the hospital that Maple spoke first.
Before Madam Pomfrey could enter, Maple turned into a bat again and flew away from the window of the school hospital.
Madam Pomfrey was not surprised to see Hermione covering her face tightly, if she had encountered the same thing, she would probably do the same thing as Hermione.
Hermione's continued stay in the hospital would not help her injuries, so Madam Pomfrey let her go.
"Are you saying Snape himself said it was an ancient cursed magic?" Hermione was taken aback, she didn't expect the magic she had been tricked to be such an extraordinary thing. But then a new question arose, how could Hermione, who had nothing to do with this magic, be attacked by the other party.
If there is one thing that is most special about Hermione now, it is probably what she got from Ravenclaw.
Was it because Hermione had entered the Ravenclaw vault?
"So-" Maple and Hermione both thought of a possibility in an instant-
"The murderer committed the murder in school!"
It makes sense to think about it, although the curse was powerful, it didn't kill Hermione. Moreover, people who are only the age of students are prone to impulsively and unknowingly use such a high-level curse directly!
The first to learn of Hermione's entry into the Ravenclaw vault were the Ravenclaw people, and the murderer was most likely among them.
Moreover, such a powerful curse technique has never appeared before, and the user is likely to be a first-year student who has just entered this year. It's a pity that Maple doesn't know the list of freshmen in the original plane this academic year, otherwise the extra ones will definitely be the key suspects.
Is Ravenclaw freshman the most suspicious?
If it's because of Ravenclaw's vault, will Celia, who entered for the first time, and now Maple also be attacked?
However, it is unlikely, the other party has already taken a startle, and it is likely that he will expose himself if he acts again.
Wait, Celia entered the vault days before they did, but she was never attacked. Could she be the murderer?
Because Maple and Hermione had taken away the honor that belonged to her, they attacked Hermione in jealousy.
Only the same women prefer to do something to a woman's face!
And her snow-white sick skin, is it because of her cultivation of powerful curse techniques that she became like this?
The more I think about it, the more suspicious I feel!
By the way, there is one more thing, because of Maple's interference, Ginny escaped. Although you can't blame the Weasley children, it makes the plan less perfect. But Lucius shouldn't have given up on opening the secret room!
Is it possible that the cursed person and Tom Riddle's diary holder are the same person?
Looks like we might need to spy on this suspicious-looking Celia with a live map!
Hermione mentions that it seems to be her own hair on the letter, and quietly removes one of Hermione's hairs, which many people can do, and this clue is not very helpful in the investigation. But that doesn't negate the importance of this clue, and telling it to Dumbledore might be helpful in his research on how to break the curse.
As if there was a more important object of worship in her mind, Hermione soon lost her enthusiasm for Lockhart. Without that fanatical attitude, Hermione, who came to her senses, quickly realized that Lockhart might be an idiot.
In the second lesson, Lockhart is directly interrupted by Maple as he tries to start his boring storytelling mode.
"Professor, these elves you brought with you in the last class are very nice and interesting way to teach the class. It's just that only me, Hermione, and you are the only ones in this classroom right now, and the professors are sure to deal with them. I think it's better to give the other students a chance so that they all have the skills to deal with these elves! After Hermione gave up her obsession with Lockhart, Maple suddenly felt that she didn't have that much resentment towards Lockhart.
Carrying the elves in a cage to the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, Lockhart's idiot was really useful, and directly allowed them to continue the practice of fighting the elves last time in the class.
Maple didn't know that when he and Hermione split into two groups and arranged for the students to take turns against the elves, Lockhart was also annoyed, why didn't he expect to release a pokemon to class last time?
I don't know if Lockhart is an idiot or if he is thick-skinned enough to not even feel the change in the students' attitudes towards him after the events of the last disaster, Lockhart swaggers around the classroom while Maple and Hermione arrange for the others to practice.
From time to time, I would comment on the magic of the students, and then I didn't forget to brag about myself. As everyone knows, he has become synonymous with buzzing and nasty flies in the eyes of the students at the moment.
Maybe it's because I'm obsessed with dealing with a large number of fans' letters every day, and I make my head funny, just treat this guy as a mental hospital and ignore his existence.
"Fly around!" Maple had forgotten about it, but Hermione had already consulted Professor Flitwick for the tricks of crowd casting, and after the bell rang for class and Lockhart and the other students had left, Maple and Hermione practiced crowd casting here.
Choose an object as the master, and then extend the magic of the main object, pulling the change from the object to the change of the main object.
Of course, this only applies to casting the same magic on a group, and casting a different spell on each object of a group, which is much more complicated.
"Fly around!" Hermione was amazed to see that Maple had completed the group casting of the levitation spell after only two casts, and was very surprised, "How did you do that?" β
"That book from Ravenclaw!" Maple also discovers that the Ravenclaw treasure he has obtained is not only unable to use the Copy Charm, but his Shadow Reappearance Charm is also ineffective. In addition to this, not only does the book become blank when opened by anyone other than herself, but when Maple tries to tell others about the contents of the book, she suddenly finds herself unable to speak.
But Maple just give it a try, is it your Ravenclaw awesome, or is the Xueba system more awesome!
Again pretending to make a psychic connection with Hermione, Maple used the system to make two new cards of her own, and then clicked on them for Hermione to use.
It worked!
It seems that Ravenclaw's magic is finally inferior to the level of the school system, and her strict secrecy allowed Maple to crack it with the help of the power of the system, and successfully told Hermione all the knowledge and insights she got from the book through the cards of the system.
Then Hermione also used the skill of Maple to cast a spell and shake it, and after practicing it four or five times, she also successfully cast a group spell.
