"I know, the sword is hidden in Gryffindor's hat pocket... So, boy, don't do these unnecessary struggles."
As soon as Haier Bo raised his hand, a flame suddenly rolled up in his palm.
The flame he condensed this time is not the same as before. This black flame that can be firmly attached to the soul can't be resisted casually!
"With your qualifications, I can't see the possibility that you have even the slightest control over it!"
Just as he said this, Haier Bo suddenly threw the black flame in his hand forward, and then exploded in the corridor between them. Harry watched the black flame envelop himself like a blanket, and quickly tightened his right hand around the handle of the sword.
However, at this moment, Harry's face changed.
"Where's the sword?"
At that moment, Harry felt that he had been dented by the sorting hat. But before he could think about it, the black flame released by Haier Bo swallowed him in the blink of an eye.
"Branch hat! What the hell are you doing, sword? Gryffindor sword? I -"
"What's the noise? I didn't tell you earlier. Are you really going to cut the flame with a sword? Besides... You'd better look around first than blame me! Hey, let you stop pulling out my hat pocket!"
Two quarreling voices suddenly sounded from the black flame, and then halbo saw that the boy with Gryffindor hat came out of the flame unscathed.
"Eh? I'm fine? This... What's going on?"
"You ask me?"
In Harry's hand, the branch hat twisted, and there was a sense of carelessness in his tone.
"I don't know... It's probably about space! If Roy Na made that stupid bird, maybe he would know something?"
"In short, you and that guy seem to be in a different space, but both sides can just see each other."
Harry was confused by the irresponsible explanation of the branch hat. But when he looked up, he found that the expression on the opposite side seemed much more wonderful than him.
"Invalid?"
Halber's eyes widened as he watched Harry, unharmed, open and close his mouth, but he didn't even hear a sound.
It's obviously impossible that the boy is performing a mime, so that means
"This protective magic mixed with alchemy and astrology is a trap!"
His reaction was quick. When he realized this, he turned and jumped up from the ceiling.
Unfortunately, while he jumped up, Marca, who was far away in France, gently scratched the blue symbol ring on his arm with his finger.
Suddenly, the ring quickly turned over on his skin.
"This time I really went in."
It was the second after Maka watched the blue ring shine, halbo hit the ceiling hard, and then plopped back into the corridor.
When he looked up again at Harry's original position, he found that the boy's figure had long disappeared, and only an underground corridor covered by fire was still the same.
Halbove glanced at the ceiling again and said in a deep voice:
"So this' loophole 'is connected to the' front 'of the coin... No, maybe it's more likely..."
In fact, although Sarah was asked to cooperate with Professor hinesta to study the formation, Maka did let them work towards "protection and concealment". And the purpose of his alchemy was to strengthen the protection of Hogwarts castle.
But he also knew that it was a little reluctant to use a newly made thing to deal with Haier Bo's invasion... Even if it was definitely not the other party's specialty.
Therefore, Maka simply turned this into an array and used it again.
He used the "back of the coin", which should have been left for the protection object, as a bait, but let the real St. Mungo stay directly in the "front".
As soon as halbo enters, he just needs to inform Sarah on the sixth floor of St. Mungo to turn the "coin" upside down, and then cut off the connection between the front and back of the coin.
There is no doubt that forced "turning over" will inevitably lead to instability in the immature refining array, but Maka doesn't need it to persist for too long - as long as it can last until he goes back.
Trapped in a space completely enclosed by the power of stars, even Haier Bo may not be able to get out of bondage in a short time?
"Is this... 'the most dangerous place is the safest place'?"
After looking at the blue ring on her arm, Maka shook off her sleeve gently, and then continued to be busy in front of her.
Now he was able to feel a little more at ease.
……
"Little Sarah, I haven't heard of that!"
"Because you didn't ask."
"Eh? I... I didn't ask, but you should always mention such an important thing to me! So should McLean. Why..."
"Well, I'm wrong. It's not because you didn't ask, but because Maka told me not to tell others."
On the sixth floor of St. Mungo, cinnista was standing next to Sarah face to face, arguing about a topic.
Near the stairway leading to the sixth floor, many R.A. members and patients have followed here, but they have been told that they are not allowed to enter temporarily.
"Am I 'someone else'?" cinnista said discontentedly to Sarah. "I can also help with the completion of this formation, and I've come with me. Don't you think I should know its full utility?"
For alchemy, hinesta obviously doesn't know much. In fact, the structure of the refining array is completely completed by Sarah referring to the astrological circle array given.
But cinnista's role is by no means small - Sarah would not have been able to start without her knowledge of astronomy and specific star maps.
However, this also led to the fact that xinnista did not fully understand the refining array itself.
But Sarah shook her head and said:
"It's because the professor came with me that I can't let you know... Maka said that I'd better be the only one who knows the plan. And I can't leave near the refining array until the plan is successful."
In fact, the reason why xinnista is so unhappy is just out of concern for everyone. To be honest, the situation just now startled her - she thought that the formation she had completed with Sarah had been broken by halbo!
Just then, Hermione, who was maintaining order on the other side of the stairs, suddenly turned around and asked Sarah:
"So Harry will be fine, won't he?"
Sarah nodded at Hermione at once.
"Yes," she said calmly, "from the beginning, we were not in the same space with each other - you can see the state you saw just now as' looking in the mirror ', although you can see each other, what you can see is only the shadow of each other."
"So, can that Haier Bo still come?"
This problem is obviously also very important. If the other party can come soon, it seems that it has much less significance.
And Sarah's gently shaking her head was a little relieved for Hermione.
"We can't guarantee that we will never get through. After all, the other party is the 'despicable halbo'. But even he is difficult to get away easily... Of course, we can't leave St. Mungo at present." she said faintly, "- this is what Maka said. I think it should be right."
"That's good..."
She looked up and down the petite Sarah again. Hermione put aside some unimportant doubts and turned around to let everyone go back.
But soon, she suddenly looked sluggish, as if she thought of something bad.
"No, not at all!"
It's good news that halber wasn't with them, but Harry left in the underground corridor didn't know it at all!
"Gryffindor sword!" Hermione thought and said anxiously, "we still have to leave St. Mungo right away... No, seal the stairs leading to the underground first!"
She didn't know whether she was talking to other R.A. members or herself. Let's see that she whispered, then hurriedly pushed away the crowd in front of her and hurried downstairs.
"Hermione, what's the matter?"
On the stairs between the fourth and fifth floors, Sirius met Hermione running down, but Hermione had no time to explain.
"Keep calling, don't stop! I'll help soon -"
By the time she said the last word, she had gone down to the third floor of the stairs, leaving Sirius with a seemingly empty ending.
However, when she came to the second floor of the stairs, the man who could not have been here suddenly flashed out of the lower floor and broke into her sight.
"Harry?" Hermione stopped quickly and said, "it's great that you're all right - did you take back the Gryffindor sword within the time limit?"
Seriously, because Harry could hold the sword for so short, Hermione was not sure that he could really put it away on time without knowing the facts.
But when Harry heard the speech, he couldn't help shaking his head with a bitter face.
"Take it back?" he said helplessly, "I couldn't even take it out - the branch hat won't let me! You know, I almost thought I was dead just now!"
"Still complaining? Aren't you all right now? Not a hair is missing..." on Harry's head, the branch hat said lazily, "if you're not satisfied, quickly and completely control it! Don't just complain!"
"Oh... OK, I see."
Watching Harry quarrel with the branch hat, Hermione finally made up her mind. But she shook her head and went straight upstairs without taking care of their wordiness.
