Chapter 1012

"This... I can't help it."

In the underground potion preparation room of black's old house, Hermione stared at the rune array left by Maka for a long time, but finally she turned and shook her head.

"As Professor Snape just said, the ancient Phoenician characters used in this should be a very special variant - in terms of the current research on ancient magic literature, the Phoenician letters should not have magical effect, but the variants in this are real magic characters!"

"Of course, I'm afraid the most difficult thing in this array is another kind of magic script as the foundation of its structure... Seriously, I've never seen such... Such wonderful magic scripts. Just looking at them like this, I seem to hear them talking to me..."

Real scholars are always fascinated by the mystery of knowledge. Just like Hermione now, after seeing Maka's research results on ancient magic literature, her mood is almost self-evident.

Of course, while deeply shocked by this Rune array, the disappearance of Maka still affects her heart. This made her quickly put aside her heartfelt feelings and worried about Maka's whereabouts.

"Sorry, I'm afraid I can't help here."

"It's all right, it's all right," lupin comforted. "At least you can recognize two kinds of magic words. Professor flavy and I can only stand here --"

"There's no time for you to laugh at yourself and be depressed," snape interrupted suddenly. "Although I still don't think anything big will happen to Marca, I still have to do what I should do."

With Snape's consistent style of behavior, we can't see them honing their haw here. After saying this, he naturally began to assign what to do next.

"Granger, here is your most in-depth study of Maka's magic literature. Just stay here and continue to study it to see if you can take it out; Professor flavy, please go with Hagrid to help shaker and them search for other clues; as for lupin, take me to the scene and have a look..."

At this point, he had a little meal and walked out at the last way:

"There may not be any harvest tonight. We'll come back tomorrow night... Be ready to use magic medicine instead of sleep for the time being."

Looking at Snape walking out of the preparation room, lupin and flavy looked at each other and shook their heads.

"His ability is really strong," whispered the former, "that is, he always orders with a cold face. People really can't like it."

Flavie was about to say something, but suddenly Snape's voice came from the corridor outside.

"Lupin, stop dawdling and get out! I have a class tomorrow -"

"If Sirius were here, it would have to fight!" lupin shrugged and said, "come, come..."

……

To tell you the truth, Marca actually guessed the general situation of black's old house.

Because I always leave a calm impression on everyone on weekdays, no matter whether that calm is true or pretended, it will make everyone not too nervous in this situation.

But this time, even he didn't expect that Snape went to the old house together and accelerated the whole search rhythm.

Of course, for now, it doesn't seem to have any impact on him.

"The key to the abnormal flow of magic in space... Is it here?"

After more than a day and a night of speculation and perception, Maka gradually came to this place along the magic flow in the air.

Coincidentally, this is the place where he had settled in the beginning - the inside of the clock room of Big Ben in London.

Looking at the combination of a large number of gears, pendulums and long rods with only black, white and gray, Maka stared silently for a while, but then shook her head again.

Yes, the abnormal flow of magic seems to be the most intense here, but it is only slightly different from the outside. Some of the special magic objects he had expected did not seem to exist at all.

This is a typical Gothic building in the Victorian period. It embodies the complex, exquisite and accurate beauty, including the clock itself. It is one of the outstanding works in the history of Muggle architecture.

However, what he can find from the clock tower seems to be limited to this.

"What's the problem?"

Suddenly looking back, the clock face dial made of 312 pieces of white glass showed a slightly bright light, reflected on Maka's gray face.

At this time, the windbreaker wizard who happened to be walking on the street outside Big Ben suddenly raised his head. Looking at the huge bell tower from a distance, a pair of bright eyes under the brim of the hat showed a complex mood.

Big Ben has a height of more than 300 feet. At such a distance, even Maka would not notice that she was actually looking at each other with another pair of eyes through a layer of opaque glass.

Similarly, the windbreaker wizard under the clock tower did not know that at this moment, Maka was on the other side of the dial he was watching from a distance.

But their ideas are almost the same.

"What is Haier Bo's intention to create this black-and-white space?"

After quietly looking up for a while, the windbreaker turned around again and continued to walk along the street. While walking, the thoughts in my mind are constantly changing.

Before long, the figure walking alone in the street also shrinks a little as it goes away, until it disappears in the distance of the road.

……

On the other hand, Hermione, who had been pondering under black's old house all night, finally reluctantly threw the manuscript paper aside.

To tell the truth, the Black family is worthy of being a pure blood wizard family that has lasted for many generations. The book collection here alone can not be underestimated.

Here, Hermione found some documents related to Phoenician characters, including even the translation records left by wizards hundreds of years ago.

However, it did not break away from the category of ordinary Phoenician letters after all, and was of little help to the study of Phoenician magic scripts used in the rune matrix of Maka.

All night, although Hermione had some harvest, she could only be better than nothing.

"Hermione, it's almost dawn. You'd better go back to Hogwarts first! If you go back at this time, you should be able to sleep a little longer..."

Suddenly, Lupin's voice sounded behind him.

Hermione looked at the scattered manuscript paper on the table, looked back at lupin and nodded silently.

She really wants to work hard, but she also knows that the things in front of her can't be accomplished by hard work alone.

What's more, she really should go back - Harry, they don't know these things yet!

"Lupin, I'll come tomorrow... Oh, I mean, I can come tonight, can't I?" Hermione whispered. "You know, I want to try again - I remember there seems to be some magic information in Marca's office."

"Really?" lupin thought, "it should be no problem, but you have to remember to take a break. After all, it's not good to just use magic drugs such as sobering agents."

"Well, I see."

Before long, Lupin sent her back to Hogwarts. After seeing her in, she left alone again. Until this time, the sky has not really lit up.

They stayed up all night. Obviously, it was no big deal. It was even more common for lupin. But when Hermione was still growing up, Lupin felt that she could still be a good father, unlike Snape.

Probably because the relationship with Tonks has been getting better and better recently! This guy finally began to secretly think about how many children he should have in the future

At Hermione's end, after studying the ancient magic text all night and returning to her bedroom, although she had already felt tired, she still didn't feel sleepy at all.

As soon as it was light outside the window, she couldn't lie down anymore. She directly turned out of bed, dressed and rushed to the stairs of the boys' bedroom.

"Bang!"

"Get up! Harry, Ron, Neville... Get up!"

Breaking into boys' dormitories is the privilege of ladies, and for Hermione, it's not uncommon to pull Harry and them out of bed early in the morning.

"I have something to tell you. Hurry... Ah! Ron, you..."

I don't know if he saw something he shouldn't have seen. Harry, who was still dazed with his eyes closed, heard Hermione suddenly snore.

"Always, in short, put on your clothes and come to the common room!"

"Bang!"

After the door was slammed shut, Harry struggled to open his eyelids and looked up at the opposite bed.

Suddenly he saw that Ron was pitifully holding his body, and his quilt had already been lifted to one side of the floor.

"Luckily she pulled off your quilt first," said Harry. "Ron, why did you sleep naked?"

"What's naked! I'm still wearing underwear! All right!" Ron immediately defended himself, and then said, "isn't it getting warmer..."

"Hey," said Harry, glancing away, "just wait for Hermione's cold face in the next few days! It's much colder than the weather!"

More than an hour later, Harry and others who had heard from Hermione about her experience last night also walked to the auditorium with other students.

Harry's gloating at Ron in the morning was completely covered up by a lot of worries, and he didn't want to laugh at Ron anymore.

But when they passed the hall and entered the side door of the auditorium, Luna, who had arrived earlier than them, suddenly raised her head from Ravenclaw's long table and looked at the slightly dull faces of Harry and others.
