Chapter 258

Maka thought she wouldn't meet anyone because he marked the end of the door key outside the school gate. But who knows, it's a coincidence that someone is standing here - and there's more than one person.

Because something happened in the school, the potholes left by Dumbledore's battle at the school gate were temporarily forgotten, and no one came to repair until the holiday was coming.

Now, the unlucky guy sitting on the ground by Maka is one of the members of the order of the Phoenix, Mundungus Fletcher.

Mundungus was a stout wizard with a stubby beard. He had long and messy ginger hair, his eyes were often congested and swollen, and he had a bad smell of tobacco and alcohol.

Like Marca's partner tarino, Mundungus is also a mixed wizard at the bottom of the magic world.

But unlike talino, Mundungus's ability is limited to some humble activities, so he knows some liars and thieves. Although greedy in nature, he doesn't have enough skills to live a fairly good life like talino.

In the order of the Phoenix, he usually plays the role of intelligence. Loyalty is no problem, but he often messes up a lot of things because of his character.

Speaking of, before the order of the Phoenix was restarted, Maka had met him several times through tarino.

Maka grew up in a very bad environment when she was young. Naturally, she would not have any disgust for people like Mundungus. Even if his taste was really strong, Maka didn't care.

He got up in his spare time and watched Mundungus humming on the ground, but he still shrugged indifferently.

"Get up quickly and pretend... Do you still want to blackmail my money?"

Maka glared at him angrily. Instead of paying attention to the pretending Mundungus, Maka turned and said hello to the other two people.

"Hey! Tonks, Hagrid..." he looked around casually, and then continued, "Voldemort has been here? How's it going?"

Hagrid was still staring at him and didn't come back!

Just now, they suddenly felt that the wind was quiet, and then there was a scream of Mundungus. They quickly turned around and looked, but they found that Maka was sitting on Mundungus's chest and said hello to him with a smile.

The most amazing thing is that Maka still holds a cartoon in her hand... I don't know who it is * *!

"Oh..." Tonks's face darkened when she heard the speech. She shook her head and said, "I think... The situation is not good..."

As soon as Marca heard this, he frowned slightly. He didn't want to hear any bad news, especially about Voldemort and the black dead.

"What happened?" he asked hurriedly.

"Everything else is pretty good. Dumbledore chased off Voldemort... Voldemort and the Death Eaters retreated soon..." speaking of this, Tonks hesitated and then said sadly, "but... The crazy old man is missing and hasn't been found yet."

"Professor moody?" Marca said in amazement. "Everyone else is fine, but he disappeared?"

"Yes... A girl saw him before he disappeared. It is said that the crazy old man was injured after they worked together to eliminate a strange man with black smoke. He asked the girl to inform Professor McGonagall to open the stone pier knights, and he stayed where he was, saying he wanted to have a rest..."

"... and then disappeared?" Marca answered, and Tonks nodded.

"Where did you go missing?" Marca continued. "And what did Dumbledore say?"

"The last place I saw him was at the back gate of the castle, on the side of the underground dock dock... There were signs of fighting," Tonks replied truthfully. "Professor Dumbledore didn't say anything and looked confused."

Maka thought, then waved her hand and said, "you're busy first. I'll go to the scene to see if there's any clue - haven't you been passive there yet?"

Tonks shook his head and said, "it's been cleaned up there... After all, it's been several days, and it's still at school."

That kind of place is really bad for students to see. Hogwarts has been attacked by death eaters twice. If the little wizards continue to panic, it is estimated that parents will come to the door soon.

In fact, piles of owls have flown into the restaurant at breakfast every day these days. Letters fall on the staff seat like rain, almost drowning the table.

Both students and professors at the dinner table were baptized by roaring letters every day. Snape was so angry that he waved his wand and killed several roaring letters.

As soon as the scene was gone, Maka had to say goodbye to the three and hurried to the headmaster's office.

……

"... Professor Dumbledore?"

In the principal's office, Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk, calmly turning over a Book of stories of poetry and peas. When Marca came to his desk, he looked up and smiled.

"Good afternoon, Marca."

Marca looked at Dumbledore inexplicably. He felt that Dumbledore was different from the past, but he couldn't tell the difference.

"Er... Professor," he blinked, then shook his head, putting aside the strange feeling, "I just heard that Professor Moody is missing?"

"Yes..." Dumbledore nodded and pointed to the cabinet behind Marca. "The memory of the scene is in the meditation basin. You can have a look if you want to see it."

"Don't you know how he disappeared? No clue?"

Instead of going to see it immediately, Marca chose to ask Dumbledore first.

After all, in his opinion, if Dumbledore didn't know, he might not be able to see anything, so it's not too late to check it later.

But Dumbledore shook his head.

"When alastor disappeared, I didn't notice anything... As for the clues..." he said, pausing again, "Miss Granger..."

"Oh, I've heard what Hermione said."

After Maka said this, she lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. Seeing that Dumbledore didn't go on, she simply turned and walked towards the cabinet with the meditation basin.

He skillfully opened the cabinet door and quietly immersed himself in Dumbledore's memory fragments in a rippling silver light.

With a trance in front of her, Maka immediately found that she was standing on the dock 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?" Maka said to herself. "Did you come here until the next morning? That is... The 25th?"

On this wharf, there are traces of fighting everywhere, and even several bright red sprayed on the ground, which makes people feel a little shocking.

When Marca glanced briefly, his eyes were immediately attracted by something on the ground - it was an arm and undoubtedly belonged to mad eye moody.

Or, once belonged to him.

After frowning and looking carefully, Maka paced back and forth again, constantly observing all kinds of traces around, trying to find some clues.

But before long, he heard a messy sound of footsteps coming from behind, from far to near.

He turned and saw familiar figures coming out of the back door. The one who took the lead, not surprisingly, was our Miss Granger.

She looked pale now, nervous and afraid, but she insisted on keeping herself calm.

"... this is it. I... ah!"

As she walked out of the door, she looked back and said something. But when she subconsciously looked forward, she suddenly screamed in fear - she also saw the arm on the ground.

Maka looked at her thoughtfully and thought: the time when moody broke his arm should be after Hermione left.

Dumbledore came out first behind Hermione, followed by McGonagall, Snape and filch. Perhaps because Harry and Ron had "strolled" around here, they were also called here.

When they saw the shoulder length broken arm, everyone was startled except Dumbledore and Snape who only frowned.

"Oh - Merlin," said Professor McGonagall in surprise, "what... What happened?"

"Miss Granger, was his arm still on his shoulder before you separated from alastor?" Dumbledore, like Marca, thought of it at the first time.

"Er... Yes, yes..." Hermione didn't dare to look at the arm. She looked away and said in a trembling voice. "Professor Moody's shoulder was badly hurt and even dented and deformed... But it was still on him. I also took him magic medicine - which Maka gave me. It said that the healing effect on physical injury was very strong."

As soon as Maka heard this, she immediately frowned - Hermione was right. The powerful healing potion he prepared was improved on the basis of the past white and fresh potions. It was a very expensive powerful healing potion.

As far as Hermione's "shoulder depression and deformation" is concerned, the pure trauma can be recovered by waiting only a quarter of an hour after taking the magic medicine.

Obviously, Moody's may have been attacked, or——

"As for the crazy old man's character, if there is an emergency, it is really possible to cut off his arm..." Maka shook his head, but had to admire himself. "No matter what the reason, he probably wanted to guard the back door to prevent the enemy from breaking into the castle."

But at this time, Marca keenly found that Dumbledore seemed to think of something, and the original calm expression suddenly flashed a haze.

"What's the matter?" Marca looked at Dumbledore suspiciously and muttered to herself.
