Maca thought he wouldn't encounter anyone, because he marked the end of the door key outside the school gate. But who knows, by coincidence, someone is standing here and there is more than one person.
Because something happened in the school, the potholes at the school gate left by Dumbledore’s battle were temporarily forgotten, and no one came to repair it until the holiday was about to fall.
And now, the hapless man who was sat on the ground by Maca is one of the members of the Order of the Phoenix, Mondungus Fletcher.
Mundungus is a stubby squat wizard with long, tousled **** hair. His eyes are often congested and swollen. There is also an unpleasant smell of tobacco and alcohol on his body.
Like Maca’s partner Tarino, Mondungus is also a gangster who is at the bottom of the magical world.
But unlike Tarino, Mondungus's abilities are limited to some humble activities, so he has known some crooks and thieves. Although he is greedy by nature, he doesn't want Tarino to have enough ability to live a decent life.
In the Order of the Phoenix, he usually plays the role of inquiring about intelligence, and his loyalty is not a problem, but he often messes up a lot of things because of his personality.
Speaking of which, before the restart of the Order of the Phoenix, Maca had seen him through Tarino several times.
Maca has grown up in a terrible environment since he was a child. Naturally, he doesn't have any disgust towards people like Mondungus. Even if the smell on him is really strong, Maca doesn't care.
He stood up in time and watched Mondungus groaning on the ground, but still shrugged indifferently.
"Get up quickly and pretend to be...could you still want to corrupt my money?"
Maca glared at him angrily, ignored the pretending Mondungus, turned around and greeted the other two.
"Hi! Tonks, Hagrid..." He looked around at random, and then continued, "Is Voldemort here? How is the situation?"
Hagrid is still staring at him in a daze. He hasn't recovered!
Just now, they suddenly felt the wind around them quiet, followed by a scream from Mondungus. They hurriedly turned around and took a look, only to find that Maca was sitting on Mondungus's chest just like that and greeted him with a smile on his face.
The most puzzling thing is that Maca is still holding a piece...a cartoon that I don’t know who it is**!
"Oh..." Tonks's face went dark when she heard that, she shook her head and said, "I think...the situation is not so good..."
When Maca heard it, his brows suddenly frowned. He didn't want to hear any bad news, especially about Voldemort and the Black Death.
"What happened?" he asked hurriedly.
"Everything else is pretty good, Dumbledore drove off...Voldemort, the Death Eaters retreated soon..." At this point, Tonks hesitated for a while, then said sadly, "But... …The crazy old man has disappeared and has not been found yet."
"Professor Moody?" Maca said in amazement, "Everyone is okay, but he is missing?"
"Yes...before he disappeared, a girl had seen him. It is said that after they worked together to eliminate a smoky weird man, the crazy old man was injured. He let the girl Inform Professor McGonagall to start the Knights of Stone Pier, and stay as it was and say that he wants to take a break..."
"...and then disappeared?" Maca answered, and Tonks nodded.
"Where did you go missing?" Maca then asked, "Also, what did Dumbledore say?"
"The last place I saw him was the back door of the castle, on the side of the underground dock...There are still traces of battle." Tonks replied truthfully, "Professor Dumbledore said nothing. It also looks very confused."
Maca thought for a while, then waved his hand and said: "You guys are busy, I'll go to the scene to see if there are any clues that I haven't been passive?"
Tonks shook his head and said: "It's been cleaned up there... After all, it's been several days, and it's still in school."
It’s really not good for students to see that kind of place. Hogwarts has already been attacked by Death Eaters twice. If it’s causing the little wizards to continue to panic, it is estimated that parents will soon The trouble is coming.
In fact, in the past few days, piles of owls flew into the dining room during breakfast every day. Letters fell on the faculty seat like rain, almost flooding the dining table.
Whether it was a dining student or a professor, he had to be baptized with a roaring letter every day, and Snape was so angry that he waved his wand and killed several roaring letters.
As soon as the scene was gone, Maca had to rush to the principal's office after saying goodbye to the three.
……
"...Professor Dumbledore?"
In the principal's room, Dumbledore is sitting behind his desk, looking calmly at a book of "The Poem and Pedou Tales". When Maca came to the desk, he raised his head and smiled.
"Good afternoon, Maca."
Maca looked at Dumbledore inexplicably. He felt that Dumbledore was a little different from the past, but he couldn't tell what was different.
"Uh...Professor," he blinked, then shook his head, putting this weird feeling aside, "I just heard that Professor Moody is missing?"
"Yeah..." Dumbledore nodded, then pointed to the cabinet behind Maca, "The memory of the scene is in the meditation basin. You can check it if you want."
"Don't you know how he disappeared? No clue?"
Maca didn't go to see it right away, but chose to ask Dumbledore first.
After all, in his opinion, if Dumbledore is not clear, he may not be able to see anything, so it is not too late to check it out for a while.
But Dumbledore shook his head.
"When Alastor disappeared, I didn't notice anything...As for the clues..." he said, after a pause, "Miss Granger..."
"Oh, I have heard of Hermione."
After Maca said, he lowered his eyes and thought for a while, seeing that Dumbledore didn't continue to speak, he simply turned and walked towards the cabinet with the Pendant Basin.
He skillfully opened the cabinet door, and quietly immersed himself in Dumbledore's memories in the rippling silver light.
With a trance in front of him, Maca immediately realized that he was already standing on the pier at the back door of the castle. The time should be in the morning, but there is still not much light on the lake hidden under the cliff.
"Morning?" Maca muttered to herself, "Did you come here until the next morning? That is... the 25th?"
Just on this pier, there are signs of battle everywhere, and there are even several places of red spray on the ground, which makes people feel a little shocking.
As soon as Maca glanced briefly, his eyes were immediately attracted by something on the ground. It was an arm, and it was undoubtedly Mad-Eye Moody's.
In other words, once belonged to him.
After frowning and taking a closer look, Maca walked a few steps back and forth, constantly observing the traces around him, trying to find some clues.
But not long after, he heard a mess of footsteps behind him, coming from far and near.
He turned around and saw familiar figures coming out of the back door. Unsurprisingly, the one who took the lead was our Miss Granger.
She looks pale at the moment, she seems to be nervous, and she seems a little scared, but she insists on keeping herself calm.
"...it is here, at that time I...ah!"
She walked out of the doorway, turning around to say something. But when she subconsciously looked forward, she suddenly screamed in terror. She also saw the arm on the ground.
Maca looked at her thoughtfully, thinking: The moment when Moody's arm broke, it should have been after Hermione left.
Dumbledore came out first behind Hermione, followed by McGonagall, Snape and Filch~IndoMTL.com~ Maybe it’s because Harry and Ron also "wandered" around here. Because of the circle, they were also called here.
When they saw the broken arm, everyone except Dumbledore and Snape just frowned.
"Oh Merlin bless you," Professor McGonagall said in surprise, "this...what exactly happened?"
"Miss Granger, his arm was still on his shoulder before you and Alastor separated?" Dumbledore, like Maca, thought of this for the first time.
"Uh...Yes, yes..." Hermione didn't dare to look at the arm. She turned away her eyes and trembled. "Professor Moody's shoulder was severely injured at the time, and it was even deformed. It's... but it's still on the body. I even gave him the potion Maca gave it to me, saying that the healing effect on physical damage is quite powerful."
When Maca heard it, she frowned and Hermione was right. The potent healing potion he prepared was improved on the basis of the past white fresh potions, and it was a rather expensive potent cure. Medicament.
As far as Hermione’s "shoulder depression and deformation" is concerned, the purely traumatic injury can be recovered by just a quarter of an hour after taking the potion.
Obviously, Moody’s may have been attacked by someone, or
"As for the character of that crazy old man, if there is an emergency, it is really possible to cut off his arm..." Maca shook his head, but had to admire himself, "No matter what the reason, he was I’m afraid I want to guard the back door to prevent the enemy from breaking into the castle."
But at this moment, Maca keenly discovered that Dumbledore seemed to have thought of something, and a haze suddenly flashed through his calm expression.
"What's the matter?" Maca looked at Dumbledore suspiciously, and muttered to himself.
