Chapter 492

It's still a while before dawn. It's the darkest time of the day. In addition, the recent sky is always covered with a thick layer of dark clouds, so that the living room of Granger's house is dark.

Maka silently opened the lock of the door with magic, then incarnated in the form of Animagus, passed through the slightly opened door, and disappeared into the darkness behind the door in the twinkling of an eye.

In fact, if he had followed his expectations, he might be able to get some clues from Snape. But even so, his behavior is unlikely to fundamentally change Snape's process of holding Hermione.

The most likely thing to say is that Snape used Hermione to coerce him and forcibly held him back until greenward opened the landing mirror.

So, instead of swaggering in front of Snape and Hermione, Maka is going to surprise Hermione with the door key. Then he could negotiate with Snape on an equal footing.

However, the following series of accidents clearly told him a truth. The reason why "unknown" is called "unknown" is precisely because when you don't know, even events with a seemingly small probability will have an absolutely fair probability of occurrence.

"Meow -"

As soon as Maka, who turned into a hummingbird, flew to the stairs leading to the second floor, he sensed that a small source of magic was running down the stairs quickly.

Without the cat's bark, he might not be able to guess what it was. But now he understood in an instant that it was Hermione's pet, the clever hybrid cat and Beaver - crook mountain!

Speaking of it, Maka's Animagus form really has an unspeakable fate with this guy. When he first changed shape, he was chased around the house by this guy. He almost didn't tire him into a dead bird.

But now Maka is not the stupid bird that couldn't fly when he first deformed. When he sensed that crook mountain was coming towards him, he immediately reacted.

He suddenly ran up and wanted to avoid each other silently, but who knew that the fast flight made him directly hit the bottom of the upper stairs.

But listening to the "bang" sound, makaton felt a pain in his brain melon seeds, followed by a whirling earth for a while.

No way, it's too dark in this room, and where can magic sense detect the dead object of wooden stairs? If it's not a big problem to move forward carefully, this sudden leap will be a big problem.

However, Maka can't see clearly, which doesn't mean that crook mountain is the same. In the darkness, a pair of green suddenly flashed and rushed to the hummingbird falling from the air.

"Pa! Dong! Hua --"

Unprepared, Maka was accurately hit by a cat fist and flew backwards all at once. Finally, he probably bumped into an empty teapot, and suddenly there was a crisp crack of China.

……

Meanwhile, upstairs in Hermione's bedroom.

"What's the matter? Is there anyone down there?" Hermione, sitting on the bed, wondered. "Professor Snape, did you bring anyone else this time?"

Snape, leaning on the back chair beside the desk, turned his face slightly and seemed to care about the movement downstairs. He knew that he did have a so-called "accomplice", but the old guy would never come here now.

Then, I'm afraid there's only one person who can break his spell silently and try to sneak in.

Snape just thought about it and stood up. But instead of trying to open the bedroom door and look down, he went directly to Hermione's bed. The wand in his hand never left Hermione's direction from beginning to end.

Hermione was naturally not a fool. She soon understood Snape's reaction. Although she was not as sure about the situation downstairs as Snape, she also made corresponding guesses.

"Oh -" Hermione paused, a few thoughts flowing in her mind for a moment, and then immediately said, "I know. Maybe crook mountain went to the kitchen to steal food and accidentally broke the plate!"

Her voice is a little loud, especially in the dead of night.

"Shut up!" snape said coldly.

"It's true," Hermione said in a louder voice. "Crook mountain often does. It --"

Snape didn't give her another chance, and a silent spell interrupted Hermione. She opened her mouth several times in a row, but she couldn't make a sound, so she had to close her lips with chagrin.

"... McLean."

Snape stared at the closed door, his wand motionless, and the whole man almost turned into a rock. But in his eyes, there was a trace of invisible flicker.

……

Downstairs, Maka, who was slapped by crook mountain, finally got empty. Even though he lifted the form of Animagus and changed back to human form.

Crook mountain, which jumped towards him quickly, crashed into his arms. He pinched the neck of crook mountain and stared helplessly at the guy.

As for the commotion just now, Snape's shrewdness was probably ready at once. Now if he still wants to turn the situation around by sneak attack, he will despise a wizard as Dean Slytherin.

So Maka had to hold crook mountain and walk boldly to the stairs.

After a while, with the door of Hermione's bedroom gently opened, makashran came into the view of Snape and Hermione. Crook mountain, which was uneasy in his arms, was now quiet again.

Cat and beaver are actually very clever creatures. They can quickly find suspicious or untrusted objects. Hybrid species such as crook mountain also have this ability.

Now his round eyes were directly aimed at Snape's expressionless face.

"Professor... Uh, good evening?"

Before coming here, Maka had a lot of words to say and questions to ask, but now he saw Snape, but he found that he didn't know how to start.

"Seeing you here, I don't think I'll feel much 'good'." snape blocked his words very straightforwardly.

Maka couldn't help feeling a little stunned when she heard him say so.

By rights, Snape is not such a tough guy. More often than not, he would choose to avoid this thankless move and solve the problem in a roundabout way.

Now, for example, he wouldn't be surprised if Snape pointed his wand at Hermione and talked to him as usual. Because Snape's current task is just to delay time.

Unexpectedly, Snape broke the road as soon as he came up.

"Professor, you..." Marca frowned slightly. "Do you really think greenward can let you see Harry's mother?"

"Don't call her Lily by this dirty name. Her name is Lily Evans." Snape's face has no expression, and his eyes are blurred. It is obvious that he has brought the brain closure to the extreme. "McClane, you seem to know a lot?"

"No, actually not much -" Marca shook her head. "Alas... Really not much."

"At least you know what greenward promised me!" snape said faintly. "I thought it was only me and him who knew..."

Maka looked at him noncommittally, but sighed silently in her heart.

The secrecy of this matter was really very good, and even completely concealed him. He didn't know the truth until he used the time converter.

"Do you remember the story I told you that day in the black's basement?" snape said word for word. "I don't ask you to understand what I did or forgive me... These are of no value to me. I just hope you can sit down and wait until dawn."

"Do you think that's possible?" asked Marca.

"... I'm just 'hope'," said Snape, pausing slightly, but the tip of the stick was a few inches closer to Hermione's neck and almost against her snow-white skin. "I don't know if I can give me a chance to 'realize my wish'?"

Maka stared at the wand, white birch, 13 to 14 inches long. In terms of magic fluctuation, the core of the wand should be made of Unicorn. Whether it is birch or unicorn, it is a material to drive away evil, sacred and beautiful. And its owner is Snape, who has always acted ruthlessly.

Just like now, it's being used by Snape to point at Hermione.

Hermione can't speak yet, but she still shakes her head firmly towards Marca, as if to signal him not to worry about his safety.

Hermione now doesn't know what will happen after dawn, does she? But she didn't care about Maka's purpose, because she knew that Maka would never make meaningless actions.

Since he came all night today, he must have a very clear purpose.

Seeing that the situation has evolved into this picture, what else can Maka feel except the strength of the restraint rules?

But before he could implement his original plan, another accident shattered his emotion.

Hermione suddenly lowered herself and hit Snape's stomach with all her strength. Snape was staggered by her, but the effect didn't seem to be great when the power posture was not very good.

Just now, because there was a quilt, it was not until now that Maka noticed that Hermione's hands were tied by a magic rope.

Just then Snape's stick tip suddenly lit up.
