Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 317 The Unlucky Hybrid Giant
() To be honest, Maca's small life during this period was actually quite stable.
Probably because of his special status, Umbridge didn't dare to act too outrageously, so as not to be caught by him when he was already disadvantaged.
Umbridge's most important goal now is to stand firm at Hogwarts.
If Maca is now a nail between the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts, Umbridge's purpose is to become the nail that the Ministry of Magic penetrates into Hogwarts.
At least until the nail is firmly nailed, she must not dare to do anything unusual.
Of course, the premise must be that Maca stays in school and stares at her.Today, Maca is equivalent to a deterrent against Umbridge.
However, sometimes reality will always make unexpected things happen...
"Tuk Tuk Tuk"
One morning, Maca was nestled in his office as usual. When he slammed on the piles of theoretical materials that seemed to be endlessly studied, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Maca said without raising his head, but his thoughts remained between the pen and the paper, quite a bit thoughtless.
With a soft creak, the door of the office was opened.
"McLean, put the things at hand first, Dumbledore will come to you..."
Hearing the caller's voice, Maca finally raised his head, craned his neck to let his eyes cross the pile of books, and looked towards the door.
"Professor Snape?" He said, and then glanced down at the manuscript, hesitating, "Is it urgent? I still need a few minutes—"
Standing at the door, Snape didn't respond much. He just nodded slightly, indicating that Maca would be fine for a few minutes.
"Let's do it first, I'll be ready soon..."
Maca casually polite, and then immediately lowered his head, and the sound of writing and writing rang again.
For Snape, Maca's attitude towards research is worthy of recognition.At least he himself believes that the priority of magic research should be relatively high, which is the quality that every wizard should have.
Soon, six or seven minutes passed, and Snape waited calmly, without any impatience.Then Maca finally raised his head again, and then drew out his wand and knocked it on the table.
Accompanied by a rush of noise, the tip of the quill was cleaned of ink, and he lay quietly back in the pen case; the lid of the ink bottle flew back to the bottle mouth automatically and squeezed tightly; the manuscript paper was also refolded in order Put them neatly, and fall onto the pile of materials on the right hand side.
When the magic was in effect, Maca stepped out of the desk and walked over to Snape at the door.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting-let's go!"
Snape nodded casually, and the two walked forward side by side.
What surprised Maca was that Snape was the first to ask a question this time.
"Are there any new discoveries in potions recently?"
Speaking of which, the potions that Maca was best at back then are not his best subject now.Although his current level of potions is still improving, the speed of running forward has dropped.
Snape was still a lot better than Maca if it was to deal with this subject alone, especially in some of the more in-depth potion theories, Snape was not even better than him.
Seeing that Snape was interested in discussing a few words with himself, Maca also cheered up. The two of them walked and talked, and it didn't take long to find that he was standing in front of the principal's office.
"...The side effects of the Fuling Potion actually cannot be called side effects, because that is the principle of its effect, so there is no possibility of eliminating the side effects." Snape said, reaching out and knocking on the principal. Door to the room.
"It's true, it's just that the pharmacology of Fu Ling Ji is really difficult to understand..." Maca spread out, "It's luck, it's invisible and intangible, and there is no possibility of digitizing. "
After saying this, the door slowly opened, and the two of them stopped talking.
In fact, since Maca took over the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore's number of visits to him has dropped sharply.At least since the beginning of school, Maca has hardly been to the principal's office.
Taking a look here today, he found that Dumbledore's complexion recently seemed to be better than before, especially his energetic appearance, which made him look ten years younger.
Of course, even if Dumbledore was ten years younger, it would still not be able to erase the fact that he was over a hundred years old.
"Professor, what's the matter with me?" Maca asked immediately.
It is precisely because Dumbledore has not been looking for him recently, so once he is called, it means that the focus of this meeting is undoubtedly the reason for calling him.
In other words, he doesn't need to talk nonsense, just ask directly.
Sure enough, although Dumbledore's expression was still gentle, but he didn't have any thoughts of homely, he went straight to the topic of today.
"That's it," Dumbledore said, sitting behind his desk, looking at Macka. "A secret letter came from Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim, saying that he had some trouble on the Polish border. As for whether you want to rush over to help them, you can make your own decision..."
As he said, he picked up his magic wand and waved it, and a small note on the table flew towards Maca lightly.
"Ms. Maxim asked her white-cheeked warbler to send it back. Check it out!"
Maca didn't say much, he reached out his hand to take the note and looked at the contents.
This note is written carefully.
In order to avoid being robbed by Voldemort’s Death Eaters and seeing something, the actual content is quite limited, but a few ciphertext words are used in key places, but they show what kind of embarrassing situation they are now in. Among.
"Is it driven into the monster colony by three crazy monsters? Then I was chased all the way and trapped in the cave?"
Maca just wanted to say, can those two be less reliable?
It was Maca's decision to still let Hagrid find the giants to negotiate, because after all, they were hybrid giants, and they were definitely more efficient than ordinary wizards. This judgment was absolutely correct.
Dumbledore also contacted Mrs. Maxim and accompanied Hagrid on the way.
Because Voldemort definitely can't care about dealing with the giants at the moment, even if he still has the manpower to go there, he will not send it at this time.
Without the Death Eaters making trouble, Hagrid's chance of success is actually very high-even if the giant cannot be persuaded to stand on the side of the Order of the Phoenix, at least the possibility of the two not helping each other is not small.
When the time comes, all you need to do is move a den for the remaining giants so that the Death Eaters can't find them in the future.
But who knew that Hagrid and Madame Maxim would be blocked in the middle by a group of giants' subspecies, giant monsters, and fell into a dilemma.
Yes, even though giants are not high in IQ, they can communicate and influence at any rate.
But the trolls are different. With the "almond" brains in their disproportionately small heads, let alone negotiation, even their own trolls' language has only a few poor syllables.
It was a group of out-and-out "mobs" living in the magical world.
"Ok……"
Maca groaned, thinking about the matters to be handled in Hogwarts again, and roughly weighing the situation on Hagrid's side, and even if he decided, he still had to go there by himself.
First of all, Hagrid and Madam Maxim must be rescued. Seeing that they still have room for the pet bird to send the letter back, it means that they can continue to survive.
But the key point is that the monster community is not so easy to deal with, and it may not be effective for ordinary wizards to fight.Those guys have thick skins and thick flesh, and they become quite difficult to deal with as they grow in quantity.
But then again, if it was easy to deal with, they would have been cleaned up by the local Ministry of Magic long ago.
However, if Maca leaves Hogwarts now, who will Umbridge rely on?Once no one stopped her, then Hogwarts probably would be unstable again.
Dumbledore was not easy to come forward to that uneasy old woman, because he could not openly confront the Ministry of Magic.
Thinking about it, Maca shook his head.
Umbridge is still unable to move for the time being.
Although she will be a nail that the Ministry of Magic nailed into Hogwarts, her existence is still useful for Maca. If we start to stun the snake now, it will only make this nail doomed "unfixed" in vain. Wasted.
If this is the case, then you can only go with her, I believe she will not make too much trouble for a while.
Because as long as Maca will come back, she has to keep a little bit of dread, although the restriction on her will be greatly reduced during this period.
"...Then I'd better go!" Maca said after some consideration, "Of course, I will come back as soon as possible."
After Dumbledore heard it, he still didn't say anything, he just smiled and nodded, nothing more.
"Professor Snape, please ask Filch to post a notice. During the time I am away from school, the magic text class will be changed to reading and self-study—"
Maca turned her head and said to Snape who was standing silent.
"Currently, the students who take the ancient magic texts course are basically really fond of this subject, and there is definitely no problem consciously."
Hearing this, Snape said suspiciously, "Are you sure?"
About half an hour later, I roughly packed up the necessary supplies of Maca, and immediately set off for the border between Poland and Belarus.
According to the cipher text in the note, Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim were somewhere in the mountain over there.Since there is a giant monster community there, I believe it won't be too much trouble to find them.
It's just that when Maca left, she didn't expect that she would meet an "old acquaintance" who hadn't been there for a long time.
