Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 44: Peak and Loop
Maca was pinched by Voldemort all the way to the gate of Hogwarts. At this time, the pinch was not as tight as it was at the beginning, but he still didn't mean to let him go.
Standing in front of the enchanted gate, Voldemort paused, then pointed at the gate with Maca’s wand, but did not respond at all.
"Damn it! It's rebelling against me—" Voldemort said bitterly, "You, use it to open the door, shouldn't I teach you how to do it?"
Maca took the wand, but his neck was still in Voldemort's hands! Although the other party didn't say anything about "no movement allowed," the threat still faintly persisted.
He waved his wand, tried the door, and found a barrier immediately above it.
"The protection is lifted."
Maca swung his wand in two arcs, and a magic beam hit the center of the magic barrier. But Maca's curse was obviously weaker than the caster, and it took a while before the barrier was completely eliminated.
The main entrance of Hogwarts was opened by Maca!
"Good job—" Quirrell, who was controlled by Voldemort, suddenly showed a terrifying smile, and the hand holding Maca's neck tightened slightly.
Before his voice fell, Maca turned his hand over and it was a coma spell. He didn't even recite the spell this time. It was a silent spell! Unprepared, Voldemort was knocked out fiercely, and even the magic stone in his hand fell to the ground.
"The magic stone is coming." Maca waved his wand and summoned the magic stone into his hand.
Before he had time to release the next spell, he saw Voldemort suddenly pounce at the door. With a "crack", the space immediately distorted.
"Oh!" Maca turned around, but someone was a step faster than him.
I saw a red light swiftly like lightning, hitting the center of the area that was distorted by the Apparition, it was Dumbledore!
Maca vaguely heard Voldemort snorting, and in an instant, the spatial distortion calmed down.
"How is it?" Maca asked hurriedly.
Dumbledore shook his head slightly as he walked over here.
"He must be injured, but he may not die."
Maca frowned when he heard this--he didn't expect that Voldemort would still have spare energy to move under his close-range coma spell attack. This vitality is as tenacious as a cockroach.
It's a pity that Maca's silent spell is not enough to cast a stronger spell, otherwise it might be able to leave Quirrell, who was possessed by Voldemort, in Hogwarts.
At this time, Dumbledore came over, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "Fortunately, you regained the Sorcerer's Stone, otherwise the result will be much worse than this."
Maca nodded when he heard the words, he raised the Philosopher's Stone in his hand and looked at it, but his mood became strangely heavy.
"Voldemort must hate me now, but more importantly--"
For Maca at this time, the most terrifying thing is not Voldemort's escape, but everything is leaning towards the unknown trajectory. Although he doesn't remember much, he can remember at least part of the key points. But now, his memory has become unreliable.
Especially, he already knew clearly that it was him who caused this series of tremendous changes!
"Butterfly effect."
Maca whispered to herself in her heart, her sight never left the place where Voldemort had disappeared. In his eyes, a little bit of starlight was reflected on the distant sky wall, which looked extremely deep and peaceful, but it seemed to be filled with deep gloom.
Maca stood there silently, before not knowing it was lost...
But no matter what changes in Maca's mood, the things that should continue are still going on, and time will not stand still for him.
How did Dumbledore consider this incident and how the follow-up treatment was arranged, Maca was not interested in following the observation.
As he hurried past Hermione, who had been unbound by Dumbledore, the little girl with dim eyes was smiling joyfully at him. But he didn't even look at her at all. He just passed her by and walked towards Hogwarts Castle with heavy steps.
"Maca—" Hermione yelled, but Maca didn't seem to hear it.
"Boom!"
Standing in front of the gate of Ravenclaw Tower, Maca knocked roughly on the door.
"Quack, what's the matter? It looks like the world is about to be destroyed?" The bronze little eagle on the door knocker blinked, flapped its wings and landed on top of his head.
"It's nothing, I have gained some gains from the runes on the scroll of truth, so I come to talk to you." Maca didn't want to talk much about what happened not long ago.
"Gah? Really! So fast?" Bronze Kitty said in surprise, and took Maca directly to Ravenclaw's secret room again.
In the secret room, Maca showed Kitty the effect of cooling runes.
Bronze Kitty nodded when he saw it, and said: "Yes, you are already qualified to explore the next test! If you pass the test correctly, you will have the opportunity to see the true charm of the rule rune. ——"
At this point, the bronze kitty suddenly fell on the table in front of Maca, and said in a solemn voice: "--and, the danger of touching the rules!"
"Dangerous?" Maca was taken aback when he heard the words, then nodded.
Although his understanding of the rule rune is still just touching the edge, if such a subtle thing is applied improperly, unforeseen danger will definitely occur. This is something that can be understood with his ass. After Bronze Kitty mentioned it, he naturally had some guesses.
"What's the next test?" Maca pondered for a moment, then looked up and asked.
Bronze Kitty tilted his head and chuckled a few times: "This test will take a lot of time, because you need to enjoy a long ocean trip."
"Uh, how long is it?" Maca frowned.
"As long as it takes you to go to Albania from here, the time of this trip will be as long as possible." Bronze Kitty said, "On the way, you have to go to a place... Bookshelf No. 1, put the top Take down the "Elis Voyage Notes"—"
Maca waved his magic wand to move the bookshelf away, and from a distance he saw an unusually large book with a thick seal, lying horizontally on top of other books.
"Quack, that's the one, the biggest one!" shouted the bronze kitty.
Waving the Maca magic wand again, he controlled the big notebook from a distance and floated in front of him. He placed this large and heavy notebook on the table and gently opened the cover.
"You can watch the others slowly on the road, first turn to the end, where there is a nautical chart sandwiched in it." Bronze Kitty finished speaking, and after Maca unfolded the nautical chart, he continued, "That The route marked with red ink is your journey this time. Take a good look! Did you see the little fork halfway? It's a small island, and it's—"
Speaking of this, Kitty paused, and then continued: "It is also the place where Rowena and Ravenclaw met."
"What?" Maca showed a stunned expression, and all kinds of guesses flashed through his mind when he was neutral.
"This is a secret that is not a secret," the bronze kitty shook his head. "To be honest, this matter is not important to you. But if you want to know about it, wait until you get there. , You can take a look around."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back from now on, I wish you a pleasant journey! Quack!" Kitty's sharp laugh made Maca feel a headache.
"I said, what is this in Albania... Lake Riquini? Then, what should I do?" Looking at the strange names on the map, Maca quickly asked.
He doesn't want to go to the place and continue to figure out how to start.
"Of course I dived — what do you think?"
Maca nodded clearly and said to herself: "I don't know if a summer vacation is enough, I hope it's too late--"
"Wait," he suddenly changed his tone, and a complex color flashed across his face, "Now that I have this opportunity, it's better to..."
After the conversation with Bronze Kitty was over, Maca continued to look through a large number of books on the shelf. He even plans to bring some useful books with him for detailed study on the road.
The books here are not all records of magical theories, but there are many records of successful or failed experiments. Although too long has passed since today, and many studies have lost their timeliness, it can be used as a reference for thinking, but Maca can still get extremely rich harvests.
After all, these are the books of the famous witch of the year, Rowena Ravenclaw!
This time, Maca stayed here for almost three full days. Except for the necessary tasks to be solved every day, he squatted in this secret room all the time.
Incidentally, he missed Hufflepuff’s last Quidditch match because no one could find him.
Surprisingly, although Ravenclaw's base points are far ahead from the beginning to the end, it was Hufflepuff's beauty Charlotte who finally caught the Golden Snitch and ended the game ~IndoMTL.com~. This could not help causing the teachers and students in the audience to applaud her enthusiastically.
When Maca came out again, Harry had had bones in the hospital bed for three days. Madam Pomfrey's potion worked well. His bones had grown up long ago, but Madam Pomfrey insisted on keeping him under observation for a few days before letting him go.
That same day, when Maca arrived there, he found that Dumbledore was already there. Not only Dumbledore, but Hermione and Ron were there with Harry.
Just when Maca stepped into the door of the ward, Hermione was the first to spot him.
"Maca! You—"
As soon as she spoke, she immediately recalled the scene three days ago. It was not only the experience of fighting Voldemort, but what impressed Hermione the most was the moment when Maca passed by her last.
What kind of expression Maca had at the time, even he couldn't remember clearly, but Hermione still remembered it fresh, as if it was still in front of her eyes.
Hermione closed her mouth when she thought of the gloomy face mixed with resentment, surprise, and regret. She didn't know what Maca was thinking, but she was as smart as she could vaguely understand that it was not something that others could easily touch. She didn't want to or dared to touch it at will.
, no matter how smart Hermione is, she is only a teenage girl after all. She doesn't understand how to deal with this vague and complicated mental state deep in her heart.
"Huh?" Maca looked at her and said, "Oh, Hermione, were you all right that day? Did you hurt anything?"
"No, no..." Hermione whispered and replied in a low voice.
"That's good, it's okay." Maca smiled and nodded, then came to Harry's bed.
