Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 712: Outside the library at night
"...Ron, can this... really be loaned to her?"
"Of course it's better not."
"That--"
"I know what you want to say, but now...well, let's give Hermione first! But we have to follow later...Let's do it! I will still follow Hermione secretly, and you, I went to Maca’s office to find him. After the lights were turned off, he basically seemed to stay in the office and would not go to bed until late..."
In a male dormitory in the Gryffindor Tower, Harry and Ron were discussing quietly what to do for a while.
It's just that today's Hermione obviously cannot be changed with the two of them.
"Speaking of which, what happened to Hermione?"
When the two of them had made a plan to continue to seek help from Maca, Harry then expressed his doubts. Although Hermione always likes to run to the library and is more interested in books than other classmates, Hermione, who seems to be burying herself with books like this, has never been seen before.
"Didn't she say it herself?" Ron sighed, "Looking for a clue to the Horcrux."
"I know this too..." Harry said, glaring at Ron grumpily, "Hey, you know what I'm asking, don't send me such a painless answer."
"Oh-" Ron saw this and couldn't help scratching his scalp, "Harry, don't make me embarrassing. Among the three of us, Hermione thinks the most. Her mind... Yes, I have a little guessing, but I have to say that I guess it is right, but I don’t have it! If I guess wrong, it may not only solve the problem, but also make the current situation worse..."
"Uh, can I only find Maca first?" Harry said helplessly.
To be honest, he hates this feeling of powerlessness, especially when his good friend seems to have a problem.
However, Ron nodded affirmatively.
"If it were Maca, he would soon understand Hermione’s current state and find the most suitable solution." He said, "Actually, if I want to say it, Maca may not be the best at it. Don’t you think of those powerful magic?"
"Well," Harry heard the words, and then nodded, "Then...the time to turn off the lights is almost here, when everyone is asleep, we will send the invisibility cloak to Hermione first, and then-- "
"Then, we will split up according to the plan just now." Ron continued.
About an hour later, the bedroom was completely dim as usual. Neville, who was accustomed to going to bed early and getting up late, and Seamo and Dean, who were always energetic during the day, had sunk in. I don’t know if Sweet dreams.
So, Harry took out the invisibility cloak he had prepared from under the bed, and walked out of the room gently with Ron.
This is the sixth school year at Hogwarts, and the two have long been used to night tours of the castle. Feeling dark along the way, they walked smoothly from the stairs to the common room.
As for going around in the castle without being invisible for a while, it is naturally easy to catch it. Even on Hermione's side, if she hadn't decided to stay in the library for a long time, she obviously didn't need such things as invisibility cloak or phantom spell.
When the two reached the last flight of stairs from the boys’ dormitory to the common room in tandem, the two nodded in the dark to confirm each other, and finally stepped into the lounge with only a little moonlight. .
Unsurprisingly, Hermione came out earlier than they did—she was already there waiting.
"Oh, Harry...Did you take it out?"
As soon as Harry and Ron appeared in the doorway one after another, Hermione immediately got up from the sofa chair by the window.
"Ah, uh..." Harry pursed his mouth, and didn't say much, he simply stretched his hand in Hermione's direction, "right here, you... you can use it. ..."
"Here?"
Since the invisible cloak is completely invisible with the eyes, Hermione caught it in her hand only after touching the real thing in Harito's hand.
"Thank you, Harry!"
Let’s not say that Harry’s invisibility cloak is very special. Even ordinary invisibility cloaks are now very precious things. Because the fur of the invisible monster used as its production material has never been something that can be mass-produced, its value has always been very high. Even the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic have to go to the warehouse to sign and collect it when necessary for the case.
No matter what kind of mental state she is in now, she is very grateful for Harry's loan of the invisible cloak.
"Then I'll go first..." After thanking Harry, Hermione quickly said, "You go back! Don't worry, I will check it again, and I will go back to the bedroom to sleep in a while." /
After that, she hurriedly turned and walked towards the doorway leading to the outside corridor. Before leaving, she put on an invisible cloak, and disappeared from the eyes of the two in a blink of an eye.
Looking at the portrait being gently closed again, and there was a vague sound of the fat lady's dream, Harry and Ron waited for a while in the common room before they started to move.
……
The castle corridor at night is still as dark as ever, especially in the interior corridors without windows.
Hermione went to the library naturally, so even if Ron couldn't see where Hermione was, he didn't have to worry about finding the wrong place. The office of the professor of ancient magic lessons that Harry was going to was also on the floor of the library.
Therefore, there is no need for the two of them to leave until they reach the door of the library.
Of course, on the way down, they must also pay attention to the movement before and after. It was one hour after the lights were turned off. The professor in charge of the night patrol should have gone back, but Filch and his cat were still hanging around. In addition, the spirit monsters that are always wandering around at night-Pippi ghosts, are also the objects they need to pay attention to.
However, Harry and Ron knew all of this for a long time.
Filch’s patrol route and rest time remain the same. Pippi generally also played ball against the wall on the first floor or occupied the auditorium for its "principal addiction", except for Filch’s cat It's easy to predict, everything else is easy to say.
However, none of them expected that there was a figure standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor. When the two people first discovered the figure, the other party beckoned to them directly, as if they were waiting for them there.
Behind the man, the moonlight outside the window became a special background. Because of the backlight, Harry and Ron could not see who it was for a while.
It’s just that it’s not a wise move to run away once it’s discovered. The other party was obviously not that stupid Filch. If it were a certain professor, they would not have been able to successfully slip away without being found out.
No way, Harry and the others can only bite the bullet and walk down the steps, while still thinking about what kind of explanation they should make for a while.
"Shhh."
Harry was about to say something, but when he heard him put his index finger to his mouth, he motioned for silence. It was only at this moment that he and Ron were able to realize that the one standing there was actually the Maca he was going to find later.
But after telling Harry to stop talking, Maca shook his hand to the corridor in the direction of the library, seeming to cast a spell. But after that, he beckoned to the two of them again, letting them pass quickly.
"Hermione is already in the library, I put a silencer over there," Maca waited for the two of them to stand next to him, then said, "Now, you guys tell me first , What happened?"
After hearing this, Harry and Ron looked at each other again. In the end, Harry reached out his hand and gestured to Ron, indicating that it was up to him to talk about it.
Ron nodded, turned his head and explained to Maca: "Actually...we are not sure what happened. But since that morning, Hermione said she was going to the books. Pavilion..."
He just said this, and suddenly he realized one thing—they were looking for Horcrux~IndoMTL.com~ There was nothing I couldn’t say to Maca, but since it was decided from the beginning With their determination to do it themselves, what they have to say now feels a little "halfway".
It's just that this thought just flashed in Ron's heart for a moment, after all, the most important thing now is Hermione's affairs, and everything else is secondary.
"Well, actually..." Ron said helplessly, "We have been investigating things about Horcruxes all this time..."
When Ron said this, he and Harry were ready to be accused. Because they all know that terrible black magic items such as Horcruxes are absolutely forbidden to even look at related books.
But they didn't expect that under the moonlight, Maca's expression didn't change much.
"You are looking at Horcruxes? Are you...Forget it, don't talk about this." He just raised his eyebrows, but then skipped the topic first. "So, Hermione Did you go to the library to check materials?"
"Yes, yeah!" Ron nodded, but quickly shook his head, "But it's more than that. Actually... Hermione is very strange today. She has been in the library for too long. Now, except for eating and going to the bathroom, she never left at any other time. Now...you see, she doesn't even plan to let go of the time to go to bed at night!"
"Hermione..."
After hearing Ron's narration, Maca sank and thought about it in secret.
Since the time when Hermione changed, it was after solving the misunderstanding with the African wizard in the morning, the problem was probably there. However, other possibilities cannot be ruled out.
Not long after, Maca's expression became a little complicated.
