Chapter 1017

Speaking of, the reason why Luna went out last night was found by Snape, but the problem was aberforth.

Because of Luna's words at that time, she suddenly opened the knot that had bound aberforth for many years, so that the latter immediately drove away all the drinkers in the bar under strong remorse.

For such offensive things, let alone that aberforth is still a member of the order of the Phoenix - even if he has nothing to do with the order of the Phoenix, the anecdote that "there was a strange old man with a big waist that night, the shopkeeper left his guests and ran after a girl" will not go away.

So in fact, not to mention Snape, even lupin and others in London have learned about this shit through Mundungus.

And Snape, just through the rather specific description in the rumor, concluded that the Night Walker was Luna.

"... what did you do when you left Hogwarts so late last night?"

At the moment, Snape stood quietly behind the podium and looked at Luna in her seat.

"Eh?" Luna recalled with her head tilted. "Professor Snape, where did you see me? Why didn't I remember?"

The entrance of the secret passage she took was completely inside the Ravenclaw tower, and to enter the tower, she had to pass the bronze Eagle doorknob - even the school professor.

So Luna was really a little surprised at this time.

"Can you walk through the wall like a ghost... Oh, in fact, you are a ghost?"

When aberforth angrily drove the guests away, Luna had already left the bar first, so she couldn't know how Snape knew about her night out from the beginning.

Otherwise, with her jumping thinking, she might really be able to guess the source of the leaked news!

However, no matter how far Luna's words jumped, Snape didn't pay much attention.

"Miss Lovegood, you don't care how I know," he said, raising his chin. "Come on! Where did you and aberforth go after leaving Hogwarts last night? London?"

"Oh! How do you know everything?"

After hearing Snape's question, Luna suddenly looked at him with an expression of admiration.

"I see. You are not only a ghost, but also a 'know it all'! Wait, if Miss know it all is Hermione... Then you must be Mr. know it all!"

The nickname Hermione was called by Snape, and most of it was malicious irony. At present, Luna was easily put on his own head, which made Snape's eyes twitch with anger.

After a slightly impatient wave of his hand, Snape skipped the topic again and finally came straight to the point:

"In a word, you not only left your bedroom last night, but even slipped out of school to London. In order to give proper punishment, you will go after school today -"

The punishment of the student should have been handed over to the dean of the student's college, and Luna is the little wizard of Ravenclaw, which should be dealt with by flavy anyway. But Snape doesn't want to care so much now. It's a big deal to talk to flavie later.

After all, he doesn't really dislike Luna - even Luna's violation of school rules, he doesn't think it's so bad.

To tell the truth, Snape punished Luna just to warn her not to run to London again.

Obviously, Snape is no longer the somewhat absent-minded potion professor.

ok Of course, his partiality towards Slytherins seems to be some after all.

But before Snape could say the punishment, he heard a footstep at the door. Then, the front door of the defense against the dark arts classroom was opened from the outside, and Professor McGonagall suddenly appeared at the door.

"Severus, are you here?"

It can be found that Professor McGonagall came in a hurry because she only stood outside the door, so she couldn't even see Luna sitting in the middle of the classroom.

Behind her, however, were flavie, spraot and Slughorn, all of whom were closely following in the outer corridor.

Just before Meg's last sentence was settled, she followed:

"From the Ministry of magic, Mr. scrimger sent an urgent message - you know, Marca gathered all the Muggles who might have been affected by the dark magic into the Ministry of magic's Dungeon. And just this morning, the Muggles changed collectively without warning... The dungeon has been lost."

Just hearing this, Snape probably understood the meaning of scrimger's urgent message.

"So he wants help?"

He said he was asking for help, but everyone who knew the inside knew it. In fact, he was going to ask Maka to come over.

However, no one knows where Maka is now, and scrimger obviously knows it. Therefore, he had no choice but to go directly to Mileva McGonagall, the current president of Hogwarts.

"Hum..." snape chuckled and said sarcastically, "it's estimated that at present, our minister doesn't know whether kwamaka should have foresight or blame him for bringing big trouble to the Ministry of magic!"

Snape never liked the guy scrimger.

The former Auror has always been of mediocre ability, but took advantage of the confusion that fudge was made an example by Voldemort, and Marca and the order of the Phoenix intervened, almost half forced and half voluntarily.

Now, the stability of the British magic world mostly depends on Maka's prestige. Although he has done a lot, he is full of details.

Of course, at least in Snape's view.

However, no matter how much he despises the current Minister of magic, he still has to help. Just as Marca was happy to let slinger stay in that position, at least this guy always believed that it was the right choice to stand on Marca's side.

"Don't say that yet," continued MEG, ignoring Snape's sarcasm. "In short, Severus, I'm going to let you and Slughorn go - see the situation first! What to do and keep in touch."

MEG didn't say something clearly, but Snape understood it.

As we all know, the dungeon of the Ministry of magic is not directly connected with the upper floor, and even the elevator can't go down to that floor directly. The staircase leading to the dungeon can be completely cut off.

So, actually, Professor McGonagall means that if the current situation of the Ministry of magic is not so bad that the isolation has been broken through, just wait a little longer! If we can drag Maka back, that's the best.

After all, who knows what the Muggles below have become now?

"Well, I understand -"

Because of this sudden event, even Snape inadvertently forgot Luna's existence. But before he remembered it again, everyone present suddenly heard a light voice, which interrupted Snape's answer.

"Professor McGonagall, if you can let me go around where Maka disappeared," Luna suddenly got up from her seat and looked calmly at the door, "maybe I can find where Maka is."

"What? You... Are you serious?"

If I went to Professor McGonagall yesterday to ask for her release to London, I would only be rejected; But now when the Ministry of magic has an accident, the other party is very likely to promise her.

Luna was almost instinctively aware of this, so she opened her mouth without thinking.

"Well, really!"

……

Luna gained the ability to perceive magic by relying on her talent and efforts.

In this, the ability to sense magic by relying on her own spirit goes beyond the contemporary exploration alchemy props. If used well, it can even help Luna greatly deepen her study and application of the magic spell.

However, the talent of spell learning and her spiritual talent are obviously two completely different aspects. In addition, the study of magic must not be done in a day, but it can be put aside for the time being.

Now all she needs is to use the basic utility of perceived magic to explore traces that other wizards can't perceive.

To be honest, it is still unknown whether we can finally find the space where Maka is located through this more detailed search.

Therefore, the word "maybe" used by Luna before is really not her modesty.

When Professor McGonagall made a quick decision and asked flavie to take Luna to London to try to find Maka, Snape and Slughorn soon appeared in the fireplace lobby of the Ministry of magic according to the original plan.

"Mr. slinger."

When they got there, they immediately found that the hall, which should have been crowded, had become empty. It must be that scrimgeor secretly said something bad. He simply found an excuse to invite out the wizards who came to handle affairs in the Ministry of magic.

"Ah! Professor Snape, Professor Slughorn, you're here..."

Scrimgeour looked at them coming towards him. While welcoming them, he also glanced at the place where they had just appeared for several times.

Unfortunately, the one who made him complain because he kept cramming Muggles into the dungeon not long ago has now disappeared.

Brother, don't leave the mess and run away!

"Don't look, we haven't found out where Marca is yet -" snape said indifferently. "Of course, there's no doubt that he will reappear in front of us sooner or later."

No matter what happens to the Ministry of magic, it's always right to give scrimger a preventive injection first. Later, if it is confirmed that it can be dragged on, his sentence will naturally play its due role.

"Oh, yes, yes!" scrimger smiled reluctantly.
