Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 698: The window of the soul
"...That's the way it is. Mr. McLean, I will severely punish him for this incident that has disturbed many wizards from all over the world. Obviously, before leaving the tribe, I have already dealt with all the matters that need attention. Let them recite it, who knows, after all, I still can’t think about it."
In the faculty lounge at Hogwarts Castle, as one of the leaders of the African delegation, the old witch whom Maca had noticed was expressing her apologies for the riot.
Being beside her, the previous African wizard who had drawn out his wand in full view, stood with his head slightly down and dry. Except for the old witch's questioning and using the language of their tribe to explain the actual situation, she didn't dare to speak any more nonsense.
As for the other side, there are Harry and others who are still confused...Of course, only Luna still has a relaxed and casual face as always, she even has her mind to look at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window. Look.
In addition, as it should be, Maca is sitting between the two sides of the incident, temporarily acting as the mediator of what seems to be a dispute...
Although this is a faculty lounge, since the professors have their own offices, even Filch has his own administrator's office, so generally no one will come here.
When Maca received the report and went to the edge of the forbidden forest to check the situation, he invited all relevant parties to a quiet place that was very suitable for arbitrating disputes.
At least the house elves are diligent. Although it is often empty, it is still clean and tidy.
"No, it’s okay, it’s not his fault." To the old witch’s apology, Maca waved his hand gently, "From the end Luna stepped up and the two sides stopped immediately, this basically happened. The above is already very clear. So, since this is just a misunderstanding, and it did not cause any actual loss in the end, then this matter is even passed..."
The small contradictions and disputes between countries were almost always ended in a peaceful way, not to mention that this time it was really a misunderstanding. Of course, if it really did any harm to Harry and the others this time, Macaco might not be as "easy-going" as it is now.
After all, he can't be a qualified person in power. Although he himself has a good view of the overall situation, it is only limited to cognition. It is basically impossible for him to choose certain sacrifices.
After determining the nature of the commotion, Maca asked curiously: "But, is Luna really so similar to the female ancestor of your tribe? Uh... …I didn’t mean to offend, but you should understand what I mean?"
To put it bluntly-even the races are completely different, will they really look like that?
The moment he heard Maca’s words, the old witch looked at Luna again, and then nodded seriously.
"Yes," she said, "Although it's just a profile face carved on the lintel of the ancestral temple, it's really...it's so similar..."
Just like the conversation between Maca and the old witch at this moment, Shijai had already spoken about it on behalf of the African wizard. The reason why the other party would pull out the magic wand after seeing Luna was because after seeing Luna, he mistakenly thought that Luna was the reincarnation of the ancestor of their tribe, and wanted to salute her.
Compared with the more prosperous and advanced European magic world, the cultural subject of the African magic world is still at a relatively lagging stage. There are not many wizards like the old witch who are highly in line with the international magic world.
However, in recent years, thanks to the continuous efforts of several principals of the African Wagadu School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, coupled with the support of the foreseeable tribal elders like the old witch. Even if there is a large population of tribal wizards in Africa, the situation is gradually improving.
Just like this competition, they brought out a group of young tribes who are suitable for intensive training. Even if they have a long experience and broaden their horizons, it is good.
The fact that Luna and the other ancestor "came in the face" for no reason did not cause much trouble to Maca, and he was not the kind of person who didn't understand the inside of the magical world of other countries. It's like chanting, anyway, people don't insist that Luna means "an ancestor reincarnation". In short, this is the end of the matter.
After sending away the old witch and others from the African delegation, only Harry, Hermione, Alexander and Luna were left in this staff lounge...Of course, there was also a Maca.
"Speaking..." Maca suddenly turned his head, looking at Luna who was still looking up at the window and asked, "Luna, nothing bad happened this time, thanks to you, but. , How do you know that the other party is actually not hostile?"
This question of Maca undoubtedly represents the inner doubts of Harry and others. At that time, Luna's sudden stepping out behavior was really amazing, and it was so agile that no one could react to it.
Otherwise, they would definitely stop her for anything.
From what they have learned, Luna has no chance of knowing the truth at all. Otherwise, with Hermione's keen observation ability, there should be no obvious traces left out, and it would be impossible to develop to the point of being almost out of control.
"Huh?"
Luna, who was enjoying the blue sky and white clouds outside, had a hazy smile on her face.
"Because of his eyes," she said, "when you talked about panthera and occlusion, you also said...the eyes are the windows of the soul."
……
While Luna was using her soft voice to mediate everyone's confusion, the old witch and others who hurriedly returned to the guest room from the self-teacher's lounge looked surprisingly serious.
"My ancestors, my feelings...are really correct, right?"
The African wizard who was at the center of that incident was undoubtedly extremely nervous.
In fact, the explanations given to Maca in the faculty’s lounge before did not contain any falsehoods, they were all real answers. The faces of the ancestors of their tribe were indeed extremely similar to Luna, and it was true that he wanted to say hello to him at that time.
However, the reason for taking out the wand is not just to salute. It is also one of his purposes to use the magic unique to Africa to sense Luna.
Since the old witch had noticed it when she first met with Maca, it is not a very wise thing to lie in front of Maca. Even she is just "possible" to be able to tell lies while not letting the other party notice it.
So, after asking about the situation in the language of the tribe, she chose to say half and leave half to avoid the risk of being discovered by Maca.
"Yes," the old witch affirmed this young tribe from the tribe, "You did a good job, and I will give you the reward you deserve when I go back this time. But--"
She was talking, but she shook her head awkwardly.
"The little girl named Luna does have the blood of her ancestors, but for some reason, the blood in her body is extremely thin...In short, it shouldn't be dangerous. Just a trace of blood, Nothing will happen..."
"That..." Beside her, the young wizard asked in a low voice, "Old ancestor, do we still want to..."
"Do nothing," the old witch knew what he was thinking as soon as he heard it, and suddenly warned severely, "Did you forget what I said before? Don't do anything that is forbidden unless necessary. ! This is not our place."
……
The conversation that appeared in a room of the African delegation is obviously unknown to Maca’s side. Right now, he was still in the faculty's lounge, taking advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of his busy schedule to chat with Harry and others casually.
Last night, after setting up a trap to catch two black-robed cultists, he chased a few alienated eight-eyed giant spiders that had been stalked out to try to catch the fleeing gang.
It's a pity that the other aspects of those black-robed cultists may be the normal Auror level, but the speed is surprisingly fast. In addition, they are also wizards, and it is reasonable to leave with the Phantom Shifting Curse.
When he chased the place where the few people disappeared, the magical fluctuations left by their apparitions were already indistinguishable.
Therefore, although the harvest is there, it is limited to the two believers who have been petrified. As for the overnight recourse that he did not hesitate to spend his sleep time, it was actually a waste of effort. And because he has devoted a lot of energy to the alchemy competition during this time, he will inevitably feel a little tired today.
For him, chatting with Harry and the others has become a pretty good break.
It’s just that he doesn’t know that what happened these days is not limited to what he sees. In some places that he hasn’t noticed, the stories closely related to him are moving forward involuntarily~IndoMTL. com~ At this moment, near the gate of Hogwarts School where there is a constant flow of people, Ensi, who did not follow Alexander and the others to the staff lounge, just caught a glimpse of a familiar back.
Because of the event, the school gates are open during this period, and only when the little wizards sleep at night will they be closed and defensive charms will be applied. Therefore, this figure seemed particularly natural among the crowds going to Hogsmeade Village.
Or, to be more precise, it didn't make anyone other than Enns suspicious.
"...Draco Malfoy?"
Ensi, who is also in the crowd, is not far behind that figure. He seemed to be paying attention to the other party inadvertently, but he was hesitant in his heart.
Today is Hogsmeade Day, but it is a "special Hogsmeade Day" when almost no one goes to Hogsmeade Village. Instinct told him that Malfoy's deeds were suspicious and worth following.
It's just...Did he still dare to follow?
