Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 712: Outside the Library at Night

"... Ron, can this... really be loaned to her?"

"Of course it's better not."

"that--"

"I know what you want to say, but now... well, let's give Hermione first! But we have to follow later... so let's go! Then I will follow Hermione secretly, and you, go to Mar Ka’s office is looking for him. After the lights are turned off, he basically seems to stay in the office and sleep late..."

In a male dormitory in the Gryffindor Tower, Harry and Ron were quietly discussing what to do for a while.

However, today's Hermione obviously cannot be changed with the two of them.

"Speaking of which, what happened to Hermione?"

It was only when the two of them made a plan to continue to seek help from Maca, and Harry then expressed his doubts.Although Hermione always likes to run to the library on weekdays, and is more interested in books than other students, Hermione, who seems to bury herself with books like this, has never been seen before.

"Didn't she say it herself?" Ron sighed, "looking for a clue to the Horcrux."

"I know that too..." Harry said, glaring at Ron angrily, "Hey, you know what I'm asking, don't send me such a painless answer."

"Oh—" Ron couldn't help scratching his scalp when he saw this. "Harry, don't embarrass me. Among the three of us, Hermione thinks the most. Her mind... Yes, I do. So a little bit of guessing, but I don’t have to say that the guess is right, I don’t have it! If the guess is wrong, it may not only solve the problem, but also make the current situation worse..."

"Uh, can I only find Maca first?" Harry said helplessly.

To be honest, he hated this feeling of powerlessness, especially when his good friend seemed to have a problem.

However, Ron nodded affirmatively.

"If it was Maca, he would be able to quickly understand Hermione's current state and find the most suitable solution." He said, "Actually, if I want to say it, Maca's best skills may not be those powerful Magic, don't you think?"

"Well," Harry nodded when he heard the words, "Then...the time to turn off the lights is almost here, when everyone is asleep, we will send the invisibility cloak to Hermione first, and then--"

"Then, we split up according to the plan just now." Ron continued.

About an hour later, the bedroom was completely dim as usual. Neville, who is used to going to bed early and getting up late, and Seamo and Dean who are always energetic during the day, have sunk into a sweet dream. .

So Harry took out the invisibility cloak he had prepared from under the bed, and walked out the door with Ron lightly.

This is the sixth school year at Hogwarts, and the two have long been used to night tours of the castle.Feeling dark along the way, they walked smoothly from the stairs to the common room.

As for the matter of wandering in the castle without being invisible for a while, it is naturally easy to catch.Even on Hermione's side, if she hadn't decided to stay in the library for a long time, she obviously didn't need things like invisibility cloak or phantom spell.

When the two reached the last flight of stairs leading to the common room from the boys’ dormitory one after another, they nodded in the dark to confirm, and finally stepped into the lounge with only a little moonlight.

Unsurprisingly, Hermione came out earlier than they did—she was already there waiting.

"Oh, Harry... have you taken it out?"

Seeing Harry and Ron appearing in the doorway one after another, Hermione immediately got up from the sofa chair by the window.

"Ah, um..." Harry pursed his mouth, and didn't say anything further. He simply stretched out his hand in Hermione's direction, "right here, you...you can use it..."

"Here?"

Since the invisible cloak is completely invisible with the eyes,

"Thank you, Harry!"

Let alone Harry's invisibility cloak is very special, even if it is an ordinary invisibility cloak, it is now a very precious thing.Because the fur of the invisible monster used as the material for its production has never been something that can be mass-produced, the value has always been very high. Even the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic have to go to the warehouse to sign and collect it when necessary for the case.

No matter what kind of mental state she was in now, she was very grateful for Harry's loan of the invisible cloak.

"Then I'll go first..." After thanking Harry, Hermione quickly said, "You go back! Don't worry, I'll just check it again, and I will go back to the bedroom to sleep in a while."

After that, she hurriedly turned and walked towards the doorway leading to the outside corridor.Before leaving, she put on an invisible cloak, and disappeared from the eyes of the two in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that the portrait was gently closed again, and the fat lady's dream was still faintly heard, Harry and Ron waited for a while in the common room before they started to act.

...

The corridors of the castle at night are as dark as ever, especially in the interior corridors without windows.

Hermione naturally went to the library, so even if Ron couldn't see where Hermione was, he didn't have to worry about finding the wrong place.The office of the professor of ancient magic lessons that Harry was going to was also on the floor of the library.

Therefore, there was no need for the two to leave until they reached the entrance of the library.

Of course, on the way down, they must also pay attention to the movement before and after.It was one hour after the lights were turned off. The professor in charge of the night patrol should have gone back, but Filch and his cat were still hanging around.In addition, the spirit monsters that are always wandering around at night-Pepi ghosts, are also the objects they need to pay attention to.

However, Harry and Ron had known all this for a long time.

Filch’s patrol route and rest time have not changed much. Pippi usually plays ball against the wall on the first floor or occupies the auditorium for his “principal addiction”, except for Filch’s cat. Besides, everything else is easy to say.

However, none of them expected that there was a figure standing on the stairs on the second floor.When the two people first discovered the figure, the other party beckoned to them directly, as if they were waiting for them there.

Behind the man, the moonlight outside the window became a special background. Because of the backlight, Harry and Ron could not see who it was for a while.

It's just that it seems unwise to run away when it is discovered.The other party was obviously not that stupid Filch, if it were a certain professor, they would not have been able to successfully slip away without being discovered.

No way, Harry and the others could only bite the bullet and walk down the steps, while still thinking about what kind of explanation they should make for a while.

"Shhh."

Harry was about to say something, but when he heard him put his index finger to his mouth, he motioned for silence.It was only at this moment that he and Ron were able to realize that the one standing there was actually the Maca he planned to find later.

But after seeing that after telling Harry to stop talking, Maca shook his hand to the corridor in the direction of the library, as if he had cast a spell.And after that, he beckoned to the two of them again and let them pass quickly.

"Hermione is already in the library, I put a silencer over there," Maca waited for the two of them to stand next to him, and said, "Now, you guys tell me first, what happened? What happened?"

When Harry and Ron heard them, they looked at each other again. Finally, Harry reached out his hand and gestured to Ron, indicating that it was up to him to talk about it.

Ron nodded, turned his head and explained to Maca: "Actually...we are not sure what happened. But since that morning, Hermione said she was going to the library... "

He had just said this, and suddenly he realized one thing-they were looking for Horcruxes, there was nothing they could not say to Maca, but since they were determined to do it themselves from the beginning , Now there is a feeling of "halfway" as much as I have to say.

However, this thought just flashed in Ron's heart for a moment, after all, the most important thing now was Hermione's affairs, and everything else was secondary.

"Well, actually..." Ron said helplessly, "We have been investigating things about Horcruxes all this time..."

When Ron said this, he and Harry were ready to be accused.Because they all know that terrible black magic items such as Horcruxes are absolutely forbidden to even look at related books.

But they did not expect that under the moonlight, Maca's expression did not change much.

"You are looking up about Horcruxes? Are you...Forget it, let's not talk about this." He just raised his eyebrows, but then skipped the topic first, "So, Hermione is going to the book Has the library checked the information?"

"Yes, yes!" Ron nodded, but shook his head soon, "But it's not only that, actually... Hermione is very strange today. She stayed in the library for too long, except She ate and went to the bathroom. She never left at other times. Now... You see, she doesn’t even plan to let go of sleep at night!"

"Hermione..."

After hearing Ron's narration, Maca settled down and thought about it.

Since the time when Hermione changed, it was after solving the misunderstanding with the African wizard in the morning, the problem was probably there.However, other possibilities cannot be ruled out.

Before long, Maca's expression became a little complicated.
