Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 53: Lost Hermione
"What's wrong, Maca?"
When the boy was staring at the black diary in Ginny's cauldron, the girl beside him took his hand and asked without hesitation.
"Nothing." Maca shook his head slightly, his tone still seemed to be gentle and peaceful, but his eyes were unusually cold.
"This time I went out, a lot has changed."
"Really. Luna?" Maca turned her head and smiled, "Perhaps! But I think this is also good."
Luna tilted her head and looked at him, her eyes slightly in a daze, she couldn't see what she was thinking.
After a while, she said: "Yes, it's good too..."
Obviously, Maca caught up with the start of school. Although no one knows where he was taken by Rowena and what he did, at least he came back safe and sound.
It’s just that some inexplicable changes seem to have happened to him.
"Let's go, go home first." Maca said.
……
On the day of school start, Maca stayed with Luna the whole time, and never left almost once. Even at the freshman welcome dinner, Maca sat directly at Ravenclaw's long table.
Surprisingly, the students at Ravenclaw College hardly objected. This is absolutely rare in Kitty Hawks who have a very high standard of identification with "wisdom and erudition."
This may be because many students have already seen the notice posted on the Hogwarts bulletin board.
The content of the bulletin is very simple. It just conveys a good news to all teachers and students in the school-the "Xianyin Potion" invented by Maca has passed the test and assessment of the International Wizarding Federation. While Ka obtained the official certification of the potion, it also indirectly recognized his status as a "pharmacist".
As Snape said in class, potions can indeed "improve prestige and brew glory." This is the most notable testimony to Maca, who has just been promoted to the second grade this year.
During the sorting ceremony, Luna was naturally assigned to Ravenclaw. Maca smiled and gave her blessings, and repeatedly told her what she should pay attention to in her future study and life.
The dinner was very lively and as warm as ever, bringing warmth to the little wizards like a big family.
Dumbledore in the head of the guest seat seemed to inadvertently glance at Maca, but soon he heard Professor Flitwick laugh again.
After a while, Professor McGonagall came in through the side door. She walked up to Dumbledore and said something softly.
Maca looked at Gryffindor. As expected, Harry and Ron were not on the long table. The other lions whispered to each other and talked a lot.
Among them, Hermione was obviously fidgeting. When Maca looked over, she just turned her head and looked towards Maca too.
"What's the matter with him...?" Hermione stared at Maca, who had moved her gaze away, but her heart was filled with doubts.
Hermione's heart is always very sensitive. She always notices some details that other people won't notice. For example, the Maca at this time did not seem to have changed too much, but the indifferent eyes made Her very uncomfortable.
"Could it be said that Voldemort's affairs really affected him so much? Or is it that Maca actually got hurt when he was saving me?"
Reminiscent of the events at the end of last semester and Maca’s expression at the time, Hermione’s guess was naturally biased.
"...and, who is that girl?"
She looked at Luna, who was carefully taken care of by Maca, and she was a little unhappy for some reason.
Early the next morning, Maca, who was eating breakfast, was noisy by a roaring letter from Gryffindor. It was sent to Ron by Mrs. Weasley.
"...stolen the car! How dare you drive the car to Hogwarts, even several Muggles have seen it along the way! If they fire you, I won’t be surprised at all, look at me How to pack you up at that time! You probably never thought about it at all. How did your father and I feel when we found out that the car was gone..."
A huge noise erupted from the red roaring letter and filled the entire hall, a hundred times louder than usual.
The sound shook the plates and spoons on the table, and the echo from the surrounding stone walls was deafening. Everyone in the auditorium turned around to see who received the yelling letter. Ron slumped in his chair, only seeing a flushed forehead.
Maca frowned, but did not move.
If it were past, he might walk over and help Ron deal with this roaring letter—it was not difficult for him.
But now, he is sitting at the table, motionless.
The first class was herbal medicine, and Hufflepuff still took this class with the Gryffindors. When Maca walked to the greenhouse, he saw from a distance the beating willow-it was now bandaged to prevent certain branches from being completely broken.
This is a masterpiece of Harry and Ron. They drove the enchanted flying car at the beginning of school and bumped it all the way.
Although they just couldn't get to the Hogwarts station platform—someone seemed to be blocking the entrance to the wall there. But even so, they still can't hide their recklessness.
At least, Sprout spent a morning on this, healed the poor beating willow, and even hurriedly stuffed some bread for breakfast.
When Maca came near the greenhouse, he saw other students standing outside, waiting for Professor Sprout.
After a while, Harry, Ron, and Hermione also came. As soon as they arrived, they saw Professor Sprout walking from the lawn.
There are many bandages on her arms, which don’t look very good. Moreover, she has always treated people kindly and kindly, but today she has a slightly sullen look on her face.
And beside Professor Sprout, he was following Guidro Lockhart.
The two are a sharp contrast: Professor Sprout has a short and chubby figure, a patched hat is buttoned on his flowing hair, and his clothes are always stained with dirt; But Gidero Lockhart was spotless from head to toe, with a flowing turquoise robe and a turquoise top hat with gold rims on the top of her shining blonde hair.
"Oh, hello!" Lockhart shouted at the students with a breezy face, "I just showed Professor Sprout how to beat someone to cure injuries! But I don’t want you to think I’m in herbal medicine. I'm better at learning than her! I just happened to have seen a few of these strange plants during my travels..."
"Today to the third greenhouse." Professor Sprout was unhappy and grabbed the topic.
Maca is already a frequent visitor to the Third Greenhouse-he has been here many times, and even has a small area of his own inside.
Here, the scent of damp soil and fertilizer are familiar, and there is also a strong floral fragrance. Those flowers were as big as umbrellas, hung from the ceiling, and looked good.
Maca was about to go inside, but Guidro Lockhart called him.
"Oh! Maca, you are Maca—" Lockhart grabbed his shoulder and said loudly, "Professor Sprout, and this one, Maca! Maca McLean! I also want to talk to him, I think you won’t mind, just two minutes..."
Maca looked at Harry who was standing on the other side, who was also living by Lohatra, and Harry gave him an awkward smile.
Lockhart didn't seem to really want Professor Sprout's consent. He said "very good" and closed the greenhouse door to Sprout.
"Oh! The youngest pharmacist! I heard that you were a first-year student when you invented the'Xianyin Potion'! Is this true? It's amazing..." Lockhart said happily. One hand was pressing on Maca's shoulder, and the other was waving up and down with the topic, looking quite excited.
"...I also heard that you were very low-key when you first enrolled in school, quite low-key! Just like when I was a kid-but in any case, gold always shines, just like me. Although you are still It’s not as good as I won the "Witcher Weekly" Most Charming Smile Award five times in a row, but one day you will reach my level—"
"Sorry, Professor Lockhart." Maca interrupted him and said calmly, "If there is nothing else, I think I should go back to class."
After that, he opened the door and walked into the conservatory, then closed the door, leaving Lockhart standing there and blinking awkwardly.
"...well, I think," he turned his head, the stiffness on his face quickly disappeared, as if he didn't care at all, he turned his attention to Harry~IndoMTL.com~ Harry, I think I can understand you..."
In the third greenhouse, Professor Sprout is standing behind a bench in the middle of the greenhouse. There are about twenty pairs of earmuffs of different colors on the stool.
In front of everyone, there are large earthenware flower pots with a plant growing inside. Seeing the green grass and leaves, they look healthy.
Just as the students were whispering, Harry returned. He walked to the center of the greenhouse with a look of wonder and sat down in the seat beside Ron and Hermione.
At this time, Professor Sprout tapped the flower pot with his magic wand and said loudly: "We are going to change the pots of mandela today. Now, who can tell me the characteristics of mandela?"
Hermione raised her hand subconsciously-she did it all the time. But this time, after raising her hand, she glanced at Maca again.
Maca just stared at the Mandela grass in front of him, without raising his head at all.
"Miss Granger." Professor Sprout also glanced at Maca before speaking.
"Mandela grass, also called mandela grass root, is a powerful restorative." Hermione memorized the knowledge points recorded in the preview almost verbatim. Those who are deformed or who have been cursed return to their original state."
"Very good, give Gryffindor ten points." Professor Sprout said, "Mandrake is an important part of most antidote. But it is also very dangerous. Can anyone tell me why? "
Hermione glanced at Maca again.
In the herbal medicine class last semester, Maca would always raise her hand to answer questions with her. To be honest, Hermione is always happy about it. She thinks Maca is the best friend in this school... But at this moment, the other party still has no response, which makes her feel very disappointed.
