Chapter 1040

When lupin, who was in the front, followed Higgs through the corridor to a rather gorgeous living room, he realized that what they had seen before was just the back door of the potion workshop.

No, this is not so much a potion preparation workshop as a private house with a potion preparation room owned by Higgs.

Although it looks spacious and beautifully decorated, it still doesn't change the fact that Ms. Higgs's family is empty.

After all, those pure blood family members who are really rich, powerful and exquisite will not just cram a dirty potion workshop into their own house!

Yes, even a female member like Ms. Higgs who left her parents' family and lived alone would never do that.

Because for a "noble pure blood", it is more or less humiliating.

"Three, please sit down!"

Now that he has put aside the face choice of Kim Garon, Higgs seems to be no longer so tangled.

Although she still doesn't have the cheek to talk to Sirius, she can obviously adjust her mood if she only talks with lupin.

In this way, without saying a word, Lupin replaced Mundungus, who should have been responsible for the negotiation, and had a serious discussion with Higgs about the potion order.

Sirius was impatient and naturally looked around with his head tilted.

Perhaps it was because he showed an unpleasant attitude towards Higgs from the beginning. Higgs simply turned a blind eye to his rude behavior.

Half an hour later, lupin and Higgs made an appointment for the next meeting to test the samples. Finally, the three were able to leave this really not a pleasant place.

Before long, they performed a phantom movement outside the real gate and came to a small river not far from Higgs's Potion workshop.

"Did you find anything?"

Lupin turned around with a slight frown and looked at them and asked.

Sirius finally shook his head after hearing the speech and silently recalling it. On the other hand, Mundungus smiled and waved to bring lupin and Sirius closer.

"When you walked through the potion preparation room, you didn't pay more attention to her preparation table?"

Upon hearing this, Lupin immediately urged:

"What do you see? Don't sell the key, say it quickly!"

"Hey, hey," said Mundungus with a smile, "I saw a piece of parchment under a group of test tube racks with something that would turn people off - it's definitely some kind of quite powerful black magic, if I see it!"

See what parchment he mentioned, Sirius when even a showdown.

"What about the paper?"

"No."

Mundungus spread his hands, shrugged and said:

"Do you really want me to steal it? Then Higgs will go back and have a look. We won't have to guess!"

"Hum, it's a pity that you can hold it!" said Sirius contemptuously. "Dare you say your hands didn't itch?"

This is not a slander for Mundungus. On the contrary, he is particularly proud:

"Itch! I almost couldn't help it!"

"Well, well, you two don't chat there," lupin waved quickly. "Dung, you write what you remember quickly, while you haven't forgotten it - Sirius, you'd better go to Maka's side later!"

"OK."

Sirius nodded knowingly.

……

While Mundungus was still lying on the big stone by the river, clutching the quill handed to him by lupin, Maka was still studying the destroyed magic stone in his own room.

A small Rune array for testing was painted directly on the table in the room, and the dark red gem was placed in the center of the array.

With the steady input of magic, the symbols in the array immediately floated around the magic stone, rotating and dancing according to the established law.

However, the magic stone did not change at all, and still lay quietly in its original position.

"There is no nature... No, it should not be able to detect its nature," Marca secretly analyzed in the bottom of her heart. "Although the magic stone is often stable in solid, it can also be converted into liquid and even gas under the same environmental conditions, so..."

Thinking of the way, he soon shook his head again.

"No, in the final analysis, these materials about the magic stone only come from legends and rumors. Only Nicole LeMay knows what the real magic stone is."

Aware that her thinking direction was wrong, Maka soon denied her conjecture and tried to find a breakthrough from other angles.

"Speaking of... Why don't you ask Sarah for her opinion?"

Considering this, he suddenly sensed that two magic sources appeared in the corridor outside the room.

Maka is quite familiar with these two magic sources. One is the windbreaker wizard who has been running around with him recently, while the other walking next to him... Is Sirius?

Just when Maka felt a little strange about the rare combination coming side by side, the two people in the corridor had hurried to his room and knocked on his door.

"Please come in!"

He removed his left hand, which was still instilling magic into the rune matrix, and temporarily put away the magic stone. Then he got up and met him at the door.

No way. It would be good if the windbreaker came alone, but if Sirius was there, he might not have time to continue his research.

"How did you two meet?" looked at Sirius, and Maka couldn't help saying to the windbreaker. "Aren't you having class with Hermione and them... Oh, it's time to finish class now?"

Since he lives in the sub fort, the bell for class and after class on the other side of the main fort is naturally inaudible. Seeing that the windbreaker wizard nodded, he said again:

"Well, thank you for bringing Sirius - but you just need to talk to him. He knows this Hogwarts Castle better than I do!"

"No, no," the windbreaker shook his head immediately. "Although we did meet in the lobby, he asked me to show him the way."

"Oh, is that so?" Marca smiled and said, "Sirius, this is not very good! Although people are said to be a woman, you should consider people's feelings even if you consciously look handsome?"

"All right, all right! I'm just chatting up. What's the matter!" Sirius said, but even he turned his head and took a good look at the windbreaker wizard.

"... female?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, he can't talk!" Marca ignored Sirius and said to the windbreaker wizard, "go back and find Hermione and them! It's inconvenient for you to go in after another class."

However, although Sirius asked her to take the road, she asked East and West from time to time just now. But since she still brought Sirius, it means that she actually guessed that Marca might go out.

In this case, how could she go back?

"No," said the windbreaker at once, "I'll explain to them when I get back. Let me stay... I mean, if you think I can stay here?"

"Well," Marca thought, and then said casually, "I don't have any problem. If you want to stay, just stay. Sirius, tell me! What happened when you came here suddenly?"

On the other hand, Sirius was still wary of the windbreaker wizard, but since Maka had agreed, he didn't say much.

After all, Maka basically let the windbreaker wizard follow him for half a month.

"Look at this first!"

As Sirius spoke, he took out a piece of parchment and handed it to Marca.

"Today, lupin and I went out with dung. We were going to find a magic medicine workshop that can supply therapeutic drugs for a long time - you know, to provide protection for the following intelligence members. But when we went to an old classmate of dung according to the list, Lupin wanted to find out if there was anything strange."

"So where did you find this?"

Maka looked back and asked slightly puzzled.

Sirius shook his head immediately:

"No, in order to avoid startling the snake, dung didn't bring out the parchment. This one was written by his memory... Why, is there anything wrong?"

"Something's wrong..." Maka shook the paper in her hand and said silently, "what should I say... At first glance, what dung wrote seems like some kind of black magic ceremony, but to be honest, I really can't see what results can be obtained by following it. To sum up, I think dung should practice his memory!"

After that, he kneaded the parchment in his hand, and threw his backhand into the paper basket at the foot of the table.

"Let's go!" he waved his hand and said directly, "in short, you can understand by looking at it... You say that's dung's old classmate? That doesn't mean that the other party was once a student of Hogwarts?"

"From Slytherin college," Sirius said with his mouth curled, "if you have to describe it, it's a 'poor older unmarried pure blood witch'?"

"Well, you don't have to say that," Marca grinned. "I probably know what kind of person it will be."

As they spoke, they went outside. Seeing this, the windbreaker immediately followed them. The three accelerated their steps and went straight to the hall of the main castle.

Before long, when they went through the vestibule to the school gate, they disappeared into the woods by the horse road.
