Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 44
Maca was pinched by Voldemort all the way to the gate of Hogwarts. At this time, the pinch was not as tight as before, but he still didn't mean to let him go.
Standing in front of the enchanted gate, Voldemort paused, then pointed at the gate with Maca's wand, but did not react at all.
"Damn it! It's rebelling against me—" Voldemort said bitterly, "You, use it to open the door, shouldn't I teach you how to do it?"
Maca took the wand, but his neck was still in Voldemort's hands!Although the other party didn't say anything about "no movement allowed", the threat was still vaguely still.
He waved his magic wand, tried the door, and found a barrier immediately above it.
"The protection is lifted."
Maca swung his wand in two arcs, and a magic beam hit the center of the magic barrier.But Maca's curse was obviously weaker than the caster, and it took a while to completely eliminate the barrier.
The main entrance of Hogwarts was opened by Maca!
"Good job--" Quirrell, who was controlled by Voldemort, suddenly showed a terrible smile, and the hand holding Maca's neck tightened slightly.
But before his voice fell, Maca turned his hand and it was a coma spell. He didn't even recite the spell this time. It was a silent spell!Unprepared, Voldemort was violently knocked out, and even the magic stone in his hand fell to the ground.
"The magic stone is flying." Maca waved his wand and summoned the magic stone into his hand.
But before he had time to release the next spell, he saw Voldemort suddenly rushing out of the door, and with a "crack", the space immediately twisted.
"Crap!" Maca turned around, but someone was a step faster than him.
I saw a red light swiftly like lightning, hitting the center of the area that was distorted by the apparition, with an aura that cut through the space, it was Dumbledore!
Maca vaguely heard Voldemort snorting, and in an instant, the spatial distortion calmed down.
"How is it?" Maca asked hurriedly.
Dumbledore shook his head slightly as he walked this way.
"He must be injured, but he may not die."
Maca couldn't help frowning when he heard this-he didn't expect that Voldemort would still have enough energy to move under his close-range coma spell.This vitality is as tenacious as a cockroach.
It's a pity that Maca's silent spell is not enough to cast a stronger spell, otherwise it might be able to leave Quirrell, who was possessed by Voldemort, in Hogwarts.
At this moment, Dumbledore came over, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "Fortunately, you regained the Sorcerer's Stone, otherwise the result will be much worse than this."
Maca nodded when he heard the words, he raised the Philosopher's Stone in his hand and looked at it, but his mood became strangely heavy.
"Voldemort must hate me now, but more importantly--"
For Maca at this time, the most terrifying thing was not Voldemort's escape, but everything was leaning towards the unknown trajectory.Although he doesn't remember much, he can remember at least part of the key points.But now, his memory has become unreliable.
In particular, he already knew clearly that it was him who caused this series of tremendous changes!
"The Butterfly Effect."
Maca whispered to herself in her heart, her sight never leaving the place where Voldemort had disappeared.In his eyes, a little bit of starlight on the distant sky was reflected, which looked extremely deep and peaceful, but it seemed to be filled with deep gloom.
Maca stood there silently, before he knew it...
But no matter what changes in Maca's mood, the things that should continue are still going on, and time will not stand still for him.
How Dumbledore considered the incident and how the follow-up treatment was arranged, Maca was not interested in following the observation.
As he hurried past Hermione, who had been released by Dumbledore, the little girl with dim eyes was smiling joyfully at him.But he didn't even look at her at all. He just passed her by and walked towards Hogwarts Castle with heavy steps.
"Maca—" Hermione yelled, but Maca didn't seem to hear it.
"Boom!"
Standing in front of the gate of Ravenclaw Tower, Maca knocked roughly on the door.
"Quack, what's the matter? It looks like the world is about to be destroyed?" The bronze little eagle on the knocker blinked, flapping its wings and landed on top of his head.
"Nothing, I have gained some gains from the runes on the scroll of truth, so I came to talk to you." Maca didn't want to talk much about what happened not long ago.
"Gah? Really! So fast?" Bronze Kitty said in surprise, and he took Maca directly to the Ravenclaw's secret room again.
In the secret room, Maca showed Kitty the effect of cooling runes.
Upon seeing this, Bronze Kitty nodded and said: "Yes, you are already qualified to explore the next test! If you pass the test correctly, you will have the opportunity to see the true charm of the rule rune——"
At this point, the bronze kitty suddenly landed on the table in front of Maca, and said in a solemn voice: "--and, the danger of touching the rules!"
"Danger?" Maca was taken aback when he heard the words, and then nodded.
Although his understanding of the rules and runes is still in a state of just touching the edge, if such a subtle thing is improperly applied, unpredictable danger will definitely occur.This is something that can be understood with his ass. After Bronze Kitty mentioned it, he naturally had some guesses.
"Then what's the next test?" Maca pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked.
Bronze Kitty tilted his head and chuckled a few times: "This test will take a lot of time, because you need to enjoy a long ocean journey."
"Uh, how long is it?" Maca frowned.
"How long will it take you to go to Albania from here," said Bronze Kitty. "On the way, you have to go to a place... Bookcase No. 1 and put the top-most book " Elis’ Voyage Notes took it down—"
Maca waved his magic wand and moved the bookshelf away, and from a distance he saw an unusually large book with a thick seal, lying horizontally on top of other books.
"Quack, that's the one, the biggest one!" Bronze Kitty yelled.
Waving the Maca magic wand again, he controlled the big notebook and floated in front of him.He placed this large and heavy notebook on the table and gently opened the cover.
"You can watch the others slowly on the road. First turn to the end. There is a nautical chart sandwiched there." Bronze Kitty finished speaking. After Maca unfolded the nautical chart, he continued, "The one is red. The route marked in ink is your journey this time. Take a good look! Did you see the little fork halfway? It's a small island, and it's—"
Speaking of this, Kitty paused, and then continued: "It's also where Rowena and Ravenclaw met."
"What?" Maca showed a stunned expression, and all kinds of guesses flashed through his mind when he was neutral.
"This is a secret that is not a secret," Bronze Kitty shook his head. "To be honest, this matter is not important to you. But if you want to know about it, you can go around when you get there. Check it out."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back from now on, I wish you a pleasant journey! Quack!" Kitty's sharp laugh made Maca feel a headache.
"I said, what is this in Albania... Lake Riquini? Then, what should I do?" Looking at the strange names on the map, Maca quickly asked.
He didn't want to go to the place and continue to wonder how to start.
"Of course it's going down-what do you think?"
Maca nodded clearly and said to herself: "I don't know if a summer vacation is enough, I hope it's too late--"
"Wait," he suddenly changed his tone, a complex color flashed across his face, "Now that I have this opportunity, it's better to..."
After the conversation with Bronze Kitty was over, Maca continued to flip through a large number of books on the shelf.He even plans to bring some useful books with him for detailed study on the road.
The books here are not all records of magic theories, but there are many records of experiments that have been successful or failed.Although too much time has passed since today, many studies have lost its timeliness, but it can still be used for reference, but Maca can still get extremely rich harvest.
After all, these are the books of the famous witch, Rowena Ravenclaw!
This time, Maca stayed here for almost three full days, squatting in this secret room all the time except for necessary matters that needed to be solved every day.
By the way, he missed Hufflepuff's last Quidditch match because no one could find him.
Surprisingly, although Ravenclaw's base points were far ahead from start to finish, it was Hufflepuff's beauty Charlotte who finally caught the Golden Snitch and ended the game.This could not help causing the teachers and students in the audience to applaud her.
When Maca came out again, Harry had had bones in the hospital bed for three days.Madam Pomfrey's potion worked well, his bones had grown up long ago, but Madam Pomfrey insisted on continuing to observe for a few days before letting him go.
When Maca arrived there that day, he found that Dumbledore was already there.Not only Dumbledore, but Hermione and Ron were there with Harry.
When Maca stepped into the door of the ward, Hermione was the first to spot him.
"Maca! You—"
As soon as she spoke, she immediately recalled the scene three days ago.Not only the experience of fighting Voldemort, what impressed Hermione the most was the moment when Maca passed by her last.
What kind of expression Maca had at that time, even he himself couldn't remember, but Hermione still remembered it fresh, as if it was still in front of her eyes.
Thinking of the gloomy face mixed with resentment, surprise, and regret, Hermione closed her mouth.She didn't know what Maca was thinking, but she was as smart as she could vaguely understand that it was not something that others could easily touch.She didn't want and didn't dare to touch it at will.
No matter how smart Hermione was, she was still just a teenage girl after all. She didn't understand how to deal with this vague and complicated psychological state in her heart.
"Huh?" Maca looked at her and said, "Oh, Hermione, were you okay that day? Did something hurt?"
"No, no..." Hermione whispered and replied in a low voice.
"That's good, it's okay." Maca smiled and nodded, then came to Harry's bed.
