"... yes, this one is right here. Be careful to align it with the opposite one... West! Ron, you have to go further west - that's your right!"
The time was approaching noon. When pansy thought of "miss know it all" on the second floor of the room on the black market, the real miss know it all was in the vestibule of Hogwarts castle, directing Ron to place the magic stone tablet.
To tell you the truth, it's a nice day outside today. It seems a pity to spend a whole day with cold slate like this.
However, Ron's idea was put aside for the time being. At least Hermione didn't think it was bad.
"Ron, cheer up! It's used to protect our school - even if it's too late, I don't want it to break down in actual operation, okay?"
It must be impossible to be late. After all, Hermione has reported too much in these five days. But of course, it's a great thing to have more time for debugging.
In fact, as Hermione said, sometimes many things are afraid that they can make do with their usual use, and they fall off the chain at the critical moment.
Accidents are always unexpected.
"Oh, of course! I understand!" Ron quickly calibrated the tool again and said loudly. "I'll pay attention... Oh!"
As he spoke, he suddenly waved in the direction of the school gate behind Hermione.
"Sirius? Why are you free to come to school?"
Hermione heard the speech and turned around. Suddenly she saw the uninhibited figure.
"Sirius!"
"Well, good afternoon..." Sirius also waved to them and said hello casually, "I think you should be able to guess the purpose of my coming."
"Yes, I think we can really guess," Hermione released a hand and pointed to the back of the castle. "Marca is in the sub castle, you know, it's the guest room."
She first told Sirius the location of Maka, and then she was quite helpless:
"It's just that we can't guess why you're looking for him... And I don't think you'll tell us to listen, will you?"
Sirius, who happened to be near Hermione, could not help smiling.
"You're wrong," he said. "I'm not lupin, but I don't think many things need to be avoided in front of young people... What's more, you're not young!"
At this point, he suddenly turned and looked at Ron again.
"Speaking of it, you Weasleys can't escape this time. I think at least you can come and listen to it... By the way, what about the boy longbarton?"
……
At this moment, Maka doesn't know about Sirius.
Although he pays attention to many things at the same time, sometimes he even gives people a feeling of "omniscient" like Dumbledore.
In the final analysis, he just paid more attention to the construction of the intelligence network than ordinary people because of his former lifestyle and habits.
He is not a prophet, nor the ethereal God, but an ordinary man who is lucky to become a wizard.
At present, he happens to be doing something that ordinary people do - dozing off.
These days, because many things have been prepared near the last minute, he is really too busy to find time to sleep at night.
Otherwise, with his character, he probably wouldn't let pansy and eluli go to the Ministry of magic.
Just now, he just rearranged several steps to deal with meteorites. After finishing it, he felt very sleepy. At least he should take a nap and rest, rather than continue to use magic drugs.
However, this time he is also a rare floor drain. He calculates an obvious thing - in his state, he usually doesn't have a good dream.
"Well... No, Professor Dumbledore, I won't learn this secret method..."
He was half lying and half sitting in the armchair, his eyes closed, talking in his dream. It sounded as if he was learning some new magic from Dumbledore in his dream.
It's just obvious that he doesn't seem to like the unknown magic at all.
"No, really... Professor, I won't learn... Don't come here again! And... I said, put your wig back!"
Just as Maka uttered this last sentence, several familiar magic waves suddenly came out of the door, which made him wake up from his sleep.
"Dudu."
The moment he woke up, there was a knock at the door.
Instead of opening the door immediately, he rubbed his slightly sour eyes and shook his head subtly.
"Oh!" murmured Marca, "Dumbledore is actually bald? If it's true, it's terrible... Should I melt the ice coffin and check it?"
After such a murmur, he waved his hand to the door, and the door opened with the answer.
"Sirius... It's a good time for you to come! I should thank you."
"What's the matter?"
Sirius looked at Maka and asked as he walked in.
"What, thank us?"
"Well, I just had a nightmare that Professor Dumbledore wanted to teach me a very powerful special secret. But after learning that secret, I will..."
Maka stood up and said casually, but she soon waved her hand again.
"Forget it! The more I think about it, the more terrible it is. I still won't say it - look, you still have the leisure to ask these questions. It shouldn't be important. Do you want to sit down and have a cup of tea?"
"No, no!" Sirius quickly shook his head. "I've been drinking tea all morning. My stomach has been filled with water... I'm suffering!"
While he was answering, Ron and Hermione, who came in after him, seemed very interested in Maka's dream.
They wanted to hear what would make Maka feel "scared".
But before they could speak, Maka seemed to be able to guess their curiosity. At that time, she stretched out her hand and stopped them from saying.
"Don't ask, it's terrible anyway!"
With a wave of his backhand, he let the teapot jump onto the iron mantel under which the fire had just started.
"Anyway, sit down first! There are beds and chairs. You can sit anywhere you want!" Marca motioned and then said, "Sirius, what can I say? I'm listening!"
"Let's get down to business first!" Sirius pulled over a small bench against the wall and sat down without restraint. "In fact, as I mentioned just now, I spent the whole morning drinking tea at Malfoy's house - Oh! You know, Lucius and I never deal with each other, so we basically didn't talk."
"After so many storms, he's obviously much better than before!" Marca shrugged. "Of course, you can think of him. I don't have any opinion."
"Maybe it's better! It doesn't matter..." Sirius glanced. "This time I went to Malfoy's house, mainly because some pure blood families agreed to get together at his house today to discuss their future development trend."
Ron, who had just sat down on the edge of the bed, was surprised:
"Sirius? You just said it had something to do with our family... Don't tell me that my father went to the party?"
The Weasley family is a famous "pure blood traitor". It's impossible for them to participate in this pure blood family meeting. No wonder Ron was so surprised.
"Huh? Oh... No," Sirius shook his head immediately. "Of course Arthur didn't go. But although he didn't go, he mentioned your Weasleys at the meeting..."
At this point, he turned to Maka again.
"You should have known about the two lives of McNeil's family and Rolle's family, Maka?" Sirius said. "That's the main reason for this family gathering. As for me, I went to Malfoy's house to have fun in order to find out the attitudes of those two families."
"Yes, I know. Kingsley mentioned it to me." Maka nodded. "Why, the two families still doubt that I did it?"
"How possible!"
Sirius smelled the words and showed a disdainful look on his face.
"Those guys are smart! After watching the flint family fall, where do they dare to make trouble? If I say, for those pure blood, the more powerful they are, the more they can't jump!"
After a little meal, he turned to explain:
"On the contrary, the rolle family has always been vague about the dead, and the McNeil family said in front of Lucius that it must be halbo's behavior. As for why he was so eager to express his attitude in front of the Malfoy family, needless to say, you should understand."
Of course Marca could understand that the McNeil family mostly wanted to try to take refuge in him through Lucius.
"If their families didn't work in the Ministry of magic, they probably wouldn't be so worried." Maka smiled. "Sirius, don't always look down on them. You know, supporting a family and even a big family is by no means a simple thing."
"Do you compromise for your family?" Sirius raised his eyebrows. "There may be several like this! However... The pure blood family is different from the general big family. Think of my sad Black family!"
I have to admit that what he said is also true - most of the pure blood families that can maintain today have some unspeakable secrets.
A moment later, Sirius looked back and said:
"In a word, there was almost no decision at the pure blood party in the morning. There was only one thing. They had a plan... They planned to make a pure blood family covenant that would remain neutral forever."
